Chapter 599 Magic Power Backtracking

That afternoon, Roland was ready to go to the snow mountain.

These included camping tents, plenty of dry food, and a cement paddle steamer. Since the location of the devil's camp was on the sea side, he had to start from the shallows—according to the previous practice, the transportation work was handed over to the hummingbirds.

I have to say that when a hummingbird about the size of Nana grabbed hold of the side of the boat and lifted the whole concrete boat over its head in one go, the scene looked very strange, just like an ant moving a grain of rice several times larger than itself Generally - if she blocks the ship by her side and looks from the other side, she will be able to see a "ghost ship" sliding silently on the land.

As long as her hands don't leave the ship, she can maintain this state forever. Compared with spending a lot of time to remove the weight of the object at first, this enchanting method is faster and the speed of mana consumption is much lower. The only drawback is that the hummingbird must follow the enchanted object, so it can carry up to two items at the same time.

The paddle steamer headed west along the mountains and arrived at the rocky beach two days later.

The last time Roland had a bird's-eye view of this land from the Remote Watch, now that he stepped on the rocky beach for the first time, he immediately felt a sense of desolation.

The scenery here is completely different from that of the shallows. The short distance of tens of miles is like two worlds.

The rocky beach is covered with carcasses of various animals, embedded in layers of gravel, some of which have been weathered, while others are gradually turning into new stones. Some of the bones look very thick, almost the size of an adult's torso, and it is unknown what creature left behind.

The steep rock faces are equally bizarre.

I saw countless sharp stalagmites growing on the surface of the rock, which are different from the naturally hanging shapes in the cave. They are all picked out horizontally, and the ends are tilted upwards. At first glance, they look like countless barbs. This gravity-defying landscape was unimaginable, and he couldn't see it clearly from the balloon last time. Once he was on this rocky beach in person, it would only make his hair stand on end.

There is no sign of life on the long beach. There are no seabirds, algae or sea mussels. Even behind the stone wall, there is an empty space, as if the devil's red mist has taken away all life here.

According to the mark left by Lian, Roland and his party found the slit leading to the camp. It's more like a fault than a slit, and the slender opening almost splits the entire cliff, and it's bottomless. Lian extended a half-meter-wide narrow path between the steep fractures.

When walking down the stone steps into the "A Line of Sky", Nightingale couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Roland couldn't help asking.

"Look there," she pointed deep into the crevice, "there's a hole in the rock wall!"

The team stopped and looked around one after another. Roland saw a few circular holes near the bottom of the dark place, as if they had been dug out by something. "What's this?"

"I don't know, I've seen such a hole in the Impassable Mountains, but the one there is bigger," she hesitated, "and the deeper you go into the ground, the more you feel like there's something looking at me inside."

"Is there... something?" Roland was startled.

"There's more than one," Nightingale nodded. "In the valley leading to the mutual aid camp, there's another trail leading to a deeper underground, but I've never gone down."

"When Sylvie comes back, take her to the Impassable Mountain Range." He glanced at the bottom of the fault again, suppressing the urge to send someone to climb down to explore, and then let the team move on.

Although this continent is part of the Dawn Realm, and there are records of human settlements thousands of years ago, the cognition of the world remains in a very primitive state, as if people deliberately neglected to open up. Roland once mentioned the mainland map to Agatha, but was told that the Federation had only described the Fertile Plain in detail, and the Dawn Realm had only a rough outline, and knew nothing about it outside of the Dawn Realm.

This is also the reason why he decided to strongly support Lei Ting's overseas exploration - Roland thought that he would find out the whole picture of this world sooner or later, but now he found that he didn't even know much about the western region of Graycastle where he was.

It's a pity that the war with the church is imminent, and he can only temporarily put these distracting thoughts behind him.

Passing through the slit, the line of sight suddenly opened up. The soldiers of the First Army camped here immediately welcomed everyone into the camp, and then Roland saw Agatha and Soraya.

"What about Lightning?"

"Flying around with A-Xia," Agatha sighed, "She can't stop these days, the devil's camp is almost becoming her playground."

"If it is placed in future generations, this is definitely a national-level natural park that requires money to buy tickets to enter," he said with emotion.

"What did you say?"

"No...it's nothing," Roland coughed twice. "I'll use the Listening Sigil to call her back. Now let's go to the collapsed stone tower you found."

When the group arrived at the center of the camp ruins, Lightning, Maggie, and Asha just arrived.

"Lightning, about to land!"

The little blond girl raised her hands flat and slowly fell to the ground, then turned around and gave Roland a big hug.

Roland was a little dumbfounded. According to his age, Lightning had also reached that special age stage.

"Aw!" Followed by Maggie, who also raised her wings flat, and hit the ground with her head, almost knocking Asha off her back.

Lightning is easy to understand, but Maggie is obviously an adult witch, Roland thought helplessly, it seems that this disease is contagious.

"Now that you're all here, let's start," he motioned to A Xia whose legs were weak.

"Yes... Your Majesty." Axia limped to the edge of the pit and closed his eyes.

In an instant, the big pit on the ground suddenly disappeared, and a huge black stone tower appeared in front of everyone's eyes. At the same time, a red mist filled the air, as thick as blood.

Roland took a step back subconsciously while holding his breath.

"This is the scene before the accident was about to happen, twenty-six days ago," Agatha explained, "If Axia only used the ability to look back once, Asha could maintain the illusion for nearly half an hour, so we just happened to be able to observe The whole thing happened."

"What about the beholder that you mentioned is covered with eyeballs, and can attract the attention of devils as long as it is looked at?" Tilly asked curiously.

"At the top of this stone tower," Agatha pointed to the top of her head, "but the height of the stone tower exceeds the range of Asha's ability, so I can't see it for the time being."

Roland raised his head, and saw that the top of the tower was blank, as if it had been completely cut off—it seemed that only within five meters around Asha could it be recreated by magic.

At this moment, the ground seemed to tremble.

"Here we come!" Agatha said in a deep voice.
