Chapter 1412 Encounter
"Did you know? This is a place called the Valley of Change! The gravity here will continue to change, becoming very light and very heavy at one time, and some things will use the changes in the environment here to attack you!"
The scholar is in the canyon at this time, and it has already... merged with the previous team.
There were originally ten Dust Crocodiles in this team, but now there are only nine left. Mainly because one of them was smashed just now. The reason for being smashed was those stones.
At this time, the scholar was slowly advancing with his team members. On the ground around them, besides white gravel, there were many stones. It was said that these stones were not ordinary stones, but some kind of... creatures.
They will fly into the air when the gravity is low, and crash down instantly when the gravity becomes high. This is their hunting behavior by taking advantage of the changing gravity environment.
Although they don't look like cellular organisms, they will hunt cellular organisms. Fortunately, the adventurer captain is familiar with this situation, so they are moving forward quickly.
It is said to be fast, but the progress is actually very slow, because it is carried out under high gravity. Only when the gravity is high, all the stones are on the ground, and it is safe at this time.
When the gravity becomes lighter, you must immediately find any cover to avoid being crushed by rocks. Because the gravity changes irregularly, adventurers say that you must hide and wait until the gravity becomes stronger before starting to walk.
"So tired..."
As a result, scholars can hear the... tired sounds of these dust crocodiles.
Although the armor worn by these dust crocodiles ensures that they will not have any major problems under high gravity, it will still be more difficult than usual, and they will soon express their inability to walk.
"You must walk through this place, you can't rest here!" The adventurer walked hard at the front. It had abandoned a lot of dust crocodiles just now, and now it was like a spiritual pillar, using passionate shouts to guide everyone forward: " We have to do this if we want to survive!”
"Yes..." "I know..." Although the other dust crocodiles were tired, they still followed hard.
Looking at this situation, scholars always feel a little strange. After all, they have sacrificed so much before, but they seem not to care, and they are still so united...
"We're here!" Suddenly, the adventurer shouted. It took a step forward and stepped on the ground without white gravel.
As if gravity had been restored to that position, it jumped there happily a few times, and then said: "Come here quickly! You can rest after you arrive!"
After hearing these words, the dust crocodiles immediately ran forward with all their strength and successfully reached the ground without gravel.
The scholar also came here, and found that the gravity here became 90%, and all the dust crocodiles jumped up happily.
“Finally we’re here!” “I’m so exhausted!” “You can rest now!”
They were as happy as a group of cubs. After the adventurer said it was safe, they each took out some food and started eating.
However, the scholar saw...a ray of light at this time.
‘Bang——! ’ Then there was the sound of explosion, and a Dust Crocodile and Armored Crocodile exploded, turning into a lot of... pieces of meat scattered all over the ground.
"That's..." The Dust Crocodiles here were stunned. The scholar immediately turned around and saw a... creature appearing in the direction they came from.
This creature is familiar to scholars. It is a...demon.
However, they are not the kind of gentle and small demons, but... the demons from the red world. They are usually nearly two meters tall, wearing black and red armor, and holding a large weapon in their hands.
The attack just now was caused by this demon.
"What is that!" "Where did that monster come from?" The Dust Crocodiles all panicked, but the demon didn't give them a chance to rest. It immediately targeted another Dust Crocodile.
'boom--! ’ The voice sounded again,
But this time it was the one who fired first. The adventurer captain also drew his weapon and fired several shots at the demon on the sand.
The flickering light of fire lit up the demon's armor, seemingly without causing much effect.
However, the scholar also raised his hand at this time, because he wanted to know...why this demon would appear in such a place.
Maybe it's related to previous events?
‘Bang——! ’ The devil’s weapon was launched first. It was a cylindrical weapon mounted on the hand, and a fireball-like object was launched from the cylinder.
It flew quickly, but it collided with the... warhead fired from the scholar's launcher. The wave of the explosion spread out, causing sand grains on the ground to fly all over the sky, and several dust crocodiles were almost knocked over. land.
Seeing that the attack failed, the demon activated the weapon again, but it did not notice until the fireball was launched...
There is a stone on top of its head.
‘Bang——’
With a dull sound, the stone about three meters in diameter hit the demon. This demon was like the dust crocodile that was hit before. Blood and internal organs were squeezed out from the burst armor. The body sputtered outward.
"It seems that it is not familiar with the environment here." The scholar breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and all the Dust Crocodiles seemed to have escaped death.
"Let's get out of here!" The adventurer captain shouted, and it quickly walked away with the Dust Crocodile. Only the scholar was left here. The scholar walked into the sand and slowly approached the demon.
After a little testing, the scholar came to a preliminary conclusion.
This demon is indeed...a demon from the Red World, regardless of its internal structure, the armor it wears on the outside, or the weapons it uses.
The weapon it uses is a weapon called a 'Fireball Cannon', which has the same effect as before, firing out an exploding... sphere.
The power is pretty good, but the burst speed is slow...
The question is, how did it get here? And why attack the Dust Crocodile?
Although this kind of demon is said to be very belligerent, when they encounter a strange creature, they will not fight it without saying anything. They usually ask the other person what it is before fighting.
Therefore, the scholar feels that there is a reason for them to come here to attack directly... The scholar made an assumption.
That is, this group of demons has joined...the troops of the Three-Legged Pillar, and carried out "civilization destruction" for them.
This does seem possible, because Sanleguzhu has gone to find these demons before, saying that he wants to recover them, but it may also have other purposes.
Because the system of Midgard is not static, it will always undergo various changes according to the situation, just like what scholars have known before... (To be continued.)
