Chapter 37 A Chaotic World

Chapter 37 A chaotic world

The snow-white world in front of you and the sea of ​​blood behind you are in sharp contrast. One is a vast white world, while the other is a bright red world. What happened to Dragon Island? Why do so many weird things come together?

"What should we do?" Ziyue asked me.

"Didn't you say you keep moving forward?"

"But this snow?"

"Then what can we do? In short, we just keep moving forward. Or, let's just fly over." Lucky appeared next to me with a wave of his hand. I jumped on Lucky's back and stretched out my hand to Ziyue.

Ziyue lightly placed her hand on my hand and flew up. "Let's go."

I'm lucky. "take off."

Lucky spread his wings and jumped, and we were immediately off the ground. Ziyue and I both looked ahead intently, watching the horizon rise as we did. Wait, how could the horizon rise with us? When we go up, it should go down! Before we could recover, we suddenly heard Lucky say: "Huh?"

boom! "Oh...oh...oh...! Ah!"

Although Lucky had just jumped up and spread its wings, we did not fly. This big guy was originally in a flying posture, but it fell back to the ground and was carried into the snow. The huge impact caused Lucky to slide forward on the ground. Lucky's mouth seemed to have something stuck, and as a result, his body suddenly froze and flew forward due to inertia, doing a forward roll. Ziyue and I were originally standing on Lucky's back, but now he suddenly fell down and neither of us could react and were both ejected. As soon as we fell into the snow, we saw Lucky's huge body being smashed down, and we were hit again before we could even emerge.

Lucky lay on the ground with his legs in the air, raised his head and shook it from side to side to relieve his dizziness. Then he started to look for our traces from side to side, but there was an extremely weak sound coming from underneath him. "Get lucky! Oh my God! You need to lose weight. You weigh at least fifty tons!"

Lucky quickly rolled sideways from the ground and jumped up. A head suddenly popped out of the snow under him. It was none other than my head. "Phew! I was almost crushed to death by you!" I looked around. "Where's Ziyue?" He formed a horn-like shape with his hands and shouted around, "Ziyue, where are you?" Suddenly a gloved arm stretched out from the ground not far away. "Over there." I ran over quickly. When I ran there, I only saw a human-shaped pit on the flat snow, with Ziyue lying on her back in it. "Are you OK?"

Ziyue pushed open the mask. "You still have breath." She held out a hand to me. "Pull me out."

He went down with one hand and pulled her out completely. "It seems like you can't fly here. Right?" The last two words refer to Lucky.

Lucky nodded immediately. "You can't fly here. I flap my wings and I don't feel any lift at all."

"Then it seems the only option is to walk!" Ziyue looked at the snow in front of her. "Hopefully the road is not far."

We had no choice but to ride on Lucky. The snow here is too thick, and the four kickers like Yeying will sink. The height of the steel claws is not enough to walk in such thick snow. In the end, we still ride It is more convenient to catch the dragon.

Not long after bouncing forward in the snow, we stopped again. There was no road ahead, and a high cliff blocked our way. The two sides of the cliff extend outwards, apparently surrounding the entire island, and it is impossible to go around it. There was originally a passage on the cliff, but now this passage has been completely blocked by ice. The visibility of the transparent ice is very good, and we can clearly see that there is something frozen in the ice in this channel. There were several giant dragons and some strange creatures, and there were many people or humanoid creatures inside. The nearest victim to us is less than two meters away from the outside of the ice. It seems that she is a human female, about 6 years old, European race, and her occupation is probably a sacrifice. Judging from her expression, she knew that the freeze was about to happen, because her movements showed that she was trying to escape, but it was a pity that she ran so slowly. As long as she was two meters longer, she would have had a different fate.

Lucky walked over and tested the hardness of the ice with his paw, but he only scraped off some ice flakes, which was not even enough to make a cup of sugar-water shaved ice.

"So hard?" Ziyue was shocked. She also has a dragon, and she knows how sharp the dragon's claws are. Even if the metal is scratched, there shouldn't be only such a small mark.

"You guys stand back, I'll try with dragon flames." Lucky made us move away, took a deep breath, and then started spitting dragon flames at the ice wall. Blazing flames shot out of Lucky's mouth, and the flames sprayed on the ice wall and sounded like a jet engine. Fortunately, this spray of dragon flame lasted for a full minute, and as soon as the spray ended, he began to breathe heavily. Ziyue and I walked back to observe the ice wall, but to our disappointment, there was no reaction at all except for a small depression on the ice wall. If we go at this speed, we won't be able to survive until the day after tomorrow. Besides, we are not lucky enough to be able to maintain the dragon flame spray for a long time!

Lucky gasped: "You guys should think of another way! I can't do it anymore!"

"How about we try to climb over from above?"

I looked up and saw that the height of more than 200 meters did not seem insurmountable, but the problem was that the ice not only blocked the passage, but even the cliffs were covered with ice up to one meter thick. The originally angular cliffs were now covered with ice, and turned out to be very shiny. It was a question of whether they could even climb up, let alone climb over.

"The ice is so slippery, how are we going to climb? Besides, we can't fly now."

"Where's your hook?"

"Are you talking about the dragon tendon rope? The ice is too hard and the drop is so big that the rope head cannot be stuck firmly."

"How will you know if you don't try."

"Oh well."

I hung the dragon tendon rope on the Avenger and raised my hand to aim at the top of the cliff. Adjust the firing power to the maximum and click the machine spring. Bang! Along with the vibration, my right arm trembled, and the dragon flew up. The speed of the rope head dropped significantly after flying upward for a certain distance. The main reason was that the wind here was too strong, otherwise it would have definitely been able to 'shoot' up to 200 meters.

With a click, the rope head accurately hit the protruding part of the cliff top. I pulled it twice to test whether it was firm, but it fell off once. I had no choice but to shoot again. The result remained the same, and the second and third attempts failed. The fourth time I got stuck, I pulled it twice and it was fine. But just a few meters after I climbed up, the rope head fell off again. Fortunately, I hadn't climbed very high yet.

"As you can see, this won't work. Unless we go a little higher and are no more than 50 meters away from the top, the Avengers will have enough power to 'shoot' the rope head into such hard ice. These ices The hardness is even scarier than steel. After a vertical rise of 0 meters, the rope head will have no power to penetrate such hard ice."

Lucky looked up and suddenly said: "Master, if we drag you up, you'll be fine, right?"

"That's right. Why didn't you think of it earlier!"

First, let Tank be at the bottom. Anyway, he has a hard shell and is already more than ten meters tall when standing on the back of Tank. After the tank stood up, Lucky and Plague stood on the back of the tank together. Although Lucky is almost a hundred meters long, the dragon is not a human being. Most of its length is its tail and neck. In fact, the dragon is not too tall even when it stands. The two dragons squatted on the back of the tank, so that their shoulder height was more than fifty meters. Ziyue summoned a Titan to stand on the shoulders of the two dragons, and another Titan to stand on the shoulders of this Titan. The two of us sat on the top of the titan's hands. After he raised his hands above his head, we were still about seventy or eighty meters away from the top of the cliff.

Ziyue visually measured the distance and said, "This is about seventy meters away. Is it enough?"

"That's enough. Our magic pets are not from the circus. If there are more, they will fall."

"makes sense."

In fact, it is definitely not a problem for me and Ziyue's magic pets to pile up to 0 meters together. Their strength is enough, but this technique will not work. To stack so many layers one on top of another, it takes more than just strength, otherwise my four dragons would almost reach the top when they fall.

Aiming at a relatively prominent rock formation, I flicked the spring, and boom, the zipline shot straight up. This time the sound was clear, as the rope sank into the ice with a click. Ziyue and I hung it up and tried it. Fortunately, there was no sign of loosening. I asked Ziyue to hug me tightly, and then controlled the flying rope to start to reel in the line, and the two of us were immediately pulled up.

After reaching the top, Ziyue stepped on my shoulders and climbed to the top of the cliff, but it was not easy for me to climb up. Ziyue first took back her two Titans from the bottom of the cliff, and then summoned one from above. The Titan stretched out his hand on the edge of the cliff and fished me up.

After taking back our respective demon pets, we looked here again. The situation in front of us made us a little confused. The thick fog not far away completely blocked the sight, and all the areas as far as the eye could see were fog. The top of this cliff is actually only 100 meters wide. It is very flat and completely covered by ice. The cliff over there is vertically downward like this one, and the depth is scary. However, a large amount of white mist blocks the ground, so I don't know how high it is.

I opened my wings and flapped twice, and I successfully felt the lift. "Ziyue, it seems there are no restrictions on flying here anymore."

"Then let's fly there directly?"

I pointed to the fog ahead. "That's not a good idea."

"Are you afraid of hitting something?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of hitting something, but it's because we can't maintain our direction and we can easily go astray."

"But walking takes up a lot of time."

"Don't we still have mounts?"

"Okay then. Anyway, we'd better go down first."

Ziyue didn't let me help this time. She jumped directly from the edge of the cliff, and then inserted the sword into the cliff. The weapon was cut by the force of gravity and slid downward through the ice, until it stabilized its falling speed. It’s much more convenient for me, I just spread my wings and jump. It floated steadily to the side of Ziyue and fell downward at the same speed as her. The fog was so heavy that we couldn't see the ground at all.

"Don't you think the ice is getting thinner?" I asked Ziyue.

Ziyue looked at the cliff. "To be honest, I feel like the temperature is rising."

"That means it might not be a frozen area down there?"

"I think so."

The surrounding situation really verified our guess. The ice on the cliff suddenly disappeared, leaving only rocks, and the humidity of the air was gradually increasing. Soon some green moss-like creatures began to appear on the cliff nearby, and thick rattans began to appear further down. Ziyue could no longer descend like this, so I simply pulled her over and accelerated her descent.

Soon the color of the fog began to darken, and I knew it was reaching the ground. Sure enough, behind the fog was the ground, and the two of us landed gently on the ground. It feels better to be down-to-earth than in the air, but the texture of the ground is a little worse. It feels soft and soft like an inflated cushion when you step on it.

"Ah!" Ziyue suddenly shouted. "What did you land on?"

"Huh?" When she called me, I immediately lowered my head and looked down. I was shocked. I was actually standing on a gray-brown creature, no wonder it felt different.

The shape of this monster is like a giant earthworm, and it looks very disgusting. It is the kind of shape that makes you not want to eat after looking at it. Ziyue jumped off the monster with a small jump. Before I could get off, the monster had already reacted first. I saw one end of it standing up like a snake, and then the head turned around and pointed at me.

I jumped off the monster, and the monster's head turned around and always faced me. "This seems to be some kind of scavenger." I said to Ziyue. But as soon as I finished speaking, the monster's head suddenly stretched out, revealing a ring of sharp teeth inside. Another disgusting red ball of flesh protruded from the ring of teeth. I originally thought it was a tongue, but I found that this thing also had a ring of outward-facing teeth.

"I don't think this thing is a scavenger!" Ziyue said while looking at the monster's big teeth.

"I agree..." As I spoke, I jumped up and struck down with the Eternal Sword. The monster's head was split in two in the middle, twitching and falling to both sides. "But it won't eat anything from now on."

"careful."

As Ziyue screamed, the thing began to squirm again, and then the half of its head that was split open by me suddenly melted into a pool of pink liquid, and the entire monster began to melt rapidly and quickly disappeared on the ground. It seems like this thing will melt when it dies, I thought it would come back to life!

I turned around to reassure Ziyue, but what I saw was such a monster crawling behind Ziyue. He quickly waved to Ziyue: "There is one behind you too."

"Ah!" Ziyue is a woman after all, and such disgusting things are women's natural enemies.

Originally, the thing had been holding its head high without showing its teeth. When Ziyue called it, it immediately showed its fangs and rushed towards me. The movements of this thing were much more flexible than expected. I didn't have time to save Ziyue, so I had to control the two and a half months behind me and fly over. With the sound of slicing meat, the monster broke into three pieces and fell to the ground. After twitching for a while, it stopped moving.

"It scares me to death, it's so disgusting here!"

"Just a few bugs." I looked at Xingtong's display. "The forest protozoa is a level 493 creature. It's not very high."

"But it's so disgusting!"

"Then don't do anything, I'll take care of it." Just as I was saying this, I saw another one of these things crawling over with its head stretched out, but before it got close to us, it was cut into pieces by Ban Yue. "It seems like this is a nest of bugs. We'd better get out of here quickly."

"Agree." Ziyue didn't touch it, she felt uncomfortable all over when she saw these things. In fact, I don't like these things either. Even though they are ugly, they are still so disgusting and have a foul smell. No one wants to get close to them. The main reason is that there are women here, and if I don’t do it, I can’t let Ziyue do it!

Ziyue was the first to leave here, but when she pushed aside the bushes, she retreated. A giant insect nearly one meter long crawled out from behind. This thing is covered in iron-gray color. Its head looks like a beetle, with six big eyes shining red, and a pair of large pincers on the front of its head. It has a large row of legs on its body, much like a centipede, but a centipede does not have such a strange head. This bug was followed by an even stranger bug. This bug looks like a cockroach, but it stands and walks on its last four legs. Its upper body is actually erect, and its two forelimbs are like two crab claws.

Ziyue stepped back to my side step by step. "We seem to be in trouble!"

"I know." I comforted Ziyue. "It's not that bad, look, at least they can't fly."

Almost as soon as I finished speaking, there was a sudden buzz in the air like a bomber. One after another, unknown gray monsters appeared near us. The heads of these things are somewhat like humans, but the eyes are very large, and their lower jaws are in two halves, which can be opened left and right. The mouthparts with the cutting knife show that these things also eat meat. In addition to this special head, this thing also has a human-like body, but it is much smaller than a human. There are 6 limbs on this body. The upper two have four-fingered hands. The lower pair seems to be specially used for walking. It has no fingers but a hook. There are two pairs of fly-like wings on the back of this thing, and the buzzing sound is caused by it. These guys, who look like flies no matter what, are about one meter long and look very scary.

Ziyue looked at these flying monsters and said, "Your mouth is really clever."

I smiled awkwardly. "Purely coincidental."

"What is a good way?"

"Yes." I spread my wings fiercely, and pieces of silver and colorful feathers fell down.

The monsters on the opposite side seemed to be stimulated by my actions. All the monsters suddenly launched attacks at the same time and rushed forward. A big flying fly flew straight at Ziyue. Ziyue was so frightened that she stepped back, only to trip over a tree. Just as the monster was about to pounce, there was a sudden flash of silver light, and a steel silver bee knocked the big fly upside down and fell into the pile of monsters. The fly monster's wings were stuck in the mud and it couldn't get up for a while. An earthworm monster next to it swallowed it in one gulp. These guys actually eat each other.

The blood butterflies and steel silver bees behind me flew out one after another, and now we could fight one on one. Although the Steel Silver Bee is not as big as the opponent, the Steel Sound Bee itself is made of mercury, has a large mass and is not afraid of minor injuries. As long as it is not cut in half, any wounds can be recovered quickly. Anyway, they are just a ball of mercury.

The poisonous mist of the blood butterflies is not effective against these things, so they all use bows and arrows to fight back. The numbers of both sides are equal, and their combat effectiveness is basically the same. The advantage on our side is good coordination, and the monsters are better because of constant reinforcements.

Steel silver bees and mutated large flies flew up and down in the air in a chaotic mess, and defeated individuals fell from time to time. As long as the Steel Silver Bee dies, it will immediately turn into a ball of mercury and fly back. When the monster falls, it will be eaten by its companions. Some big flies are dismembered and eaten by other flies in the air before they even hit the ground. It is really tragic!

"Xiao Feng! Prodigal!" I summoned two phoenixes to help. Creatures in this place should be afraid of fire.

As soon as the two phoenixes came out, the sky was filled with flames. Xiaofeng went up to help the Steel Silver Bee deal with the flies, and the prodigal son directly set fire to the edge of the forest. Various giant insects were burned in the fire with crackling explosions, and many insects began to escape. The fear of fire exceeded the desire for food.

Ziyue said from behind me: "Have you noticed that these monsters have very high experience points?"

"What? I didn't pay attention." I quickly looked at the experience display and found that there was indeed a change. These little things are perfect for leveling, they are easy to fight and give you a lot of experience, but unfortunately they are a bit disgusting, and the location is a bit remote. "Do you want to stay at the training level?"

"Forget it! I would rather go to the wild and find difficult monsters to kill slowly than fight these disgusting things."

"Then let's go forward." I waved upward. "Xiaofeng, Langzi, you can go back."

"I know." The two phoenixes disappeared one after another, and the remaining steel silver bees and blood butterflies also ran back and turned into feathers and stuck them on their wings.

"Are your wings very useful?"

"Of course, the most terrifying enemy is not a powerful individual, but a powerful group like the Steel Silver Bee who are not afraid of sacrifice. Human beings in this world can be said to be inferior in terms of physical strength alone, but lions, tigers, sharks, venomous snakes are not They are all driven to extinction by humans. Only insects are the most powerful, and humans have nothing to do with them. Look at ants, every individual in their entire group is important, but at the same time they can be discarded, like this Creatures are the most difficult to destroy.”

"That's why I hate bugs." Ziyue pointed forward. "We'd better get out of here quickly, lest those bugs come back later and it'll be bad."

"Yes, let's go."

The two of us summoned our own steel claws to travel instead, which was faster and safer. The more we walked in the forest, the more something felt wrong, but we couldn't tell what was wrong. Anyway, there was nothing stopping us so we accelerated forward.

After running for a while, I suddenly thought something was wrong. "Ziyue, do you feel like we have been here before?"

"Isn't this an illusion again?"

"Emenis." It was more convenient to let her see.

Amynis looked around and said, "This is not an illusion, but a misplaced space."

"What is the dislocation space?"

"Dislocated space means that the space is misaligned. Normally, space is continuous. From point a to point b, you need to pass through the continuous space in between, but the positional relationship between points in the misaligned space is confused."

"I understand this, but how are we going to leave?"

"The way to leave is to follow the gaps in the space. Usually, you first detect the location of the last dislocated space, and then try to find a suitable connection to get there."

"But how to find it?"

"To be honest, this is not certain. You may be able to find the misaligned space, or you may not be able to get through it at all. Because the continuity of the space is disrupted, there may be missing links in the middle. Then there is no way to go. It’s over.”

"What should we do?"

"I suggest you go around it."

"Go around? Where can we go around?"

Amynis pointed upward. Ziyue said: "It's better to listen to me earlier and fly there directly. You see, in the end, you have to go to the sky."

"There's a reason why I don't want to go to heaven."

Ziyue looked at me puzzled. "What reason can you have?"

"You know my identity, and I won't hide it from you. I have read the world view set of "Zero"."

"Did it mention this?"

"No. It was just a basic setting. It mainly determined some direction issues at the main design level and did not involve any specific content. At that time, I saw a section about obstacle design. All important tasks or special areas would be Various dangerous obstacles are protected, and Dragon Island obviously symbolizes this standard. In the setting idea of ​​this dangerous obstacle, it is said that it is not recommended to fly over places that can generally be walked on the ground. Regardless of whether the game is fun or not, it must first kill time. If If you can fly anywhere, the speed of the game will increase, because flying is definitely faster than walking. In order to limit the time for players to complete tasks, double levels are generally designed in places that can be walked. The difficulty of tasks in the sky is that on the ground It is about 1% to 150%. If the dislocated space on the ground cannot be diverted into the air, we will definitely encounter a task that is 50% to 50% more complicated than this."

"No wonder I rarely see you flying around on a dragon. I always ride around on a sky fire, so every mission I encounter is very troublesome. At first, I thought it was my luck, but after a long time, this happened. The reason!”

"So I don't fly easily, and many places have protective barriers specifically for the air, so it's easy to miss the target."

"But now we can't get across without flying!"

"So I'm hesitating!"

"It's hard to get through this. What should I do if I don't fly? Don't think about it. Let's talk about it when we get up." Ziyue and Meigui are completely different people. Rose likes to think carefully about everything she does, but Ziyue and I have the same personality and like to do it first and then think about it later.

In the end, I was dragged up into the sky, with Ziyue riding on her spear and me riding the flying bird. The fog in the sky was so thick that I could barely see the road. Birds basically rely on echolocation and the bioelectric field on the ground to fly. If there were a mountain peak ahead, we would probably hit it head-on. But the safer thing is that our speed is relatively slow. It’s not that we don’t want to go fast. The main reason is that the air humidity here is too high. The combustion chambers on the wings of flying birds absorb a large amount of water mist, causing ignition failure. We have to go so slowly if we want to go up. Fly slowly. Originally, creatures like Lucky, who did not need to light up to fly, should be allowed to carry them in this humid air, but Lucky didn't have echolocation, so they couldn't even tell when they hit something in the air, so how could they dare to let them fly? ah!

I sink my thoughts into Asuka's thoughts. He is my magic pet. I can feel his thoughts through spiritual contact. After entering Asuka's mind, I immediately felt as if I was seeing something. The triangular pyramid in front of the bird emits a circle of green ripples every few seconds. I know that it is ultrasound. The ripples spread quickly and hit the surrounding things, and immediately a green topographic map appeared in the mind. The bird scans its surroundings every two seconds, and any changes will be detected. Now we can feel that we are flying over a forest. Some large animals raised their heads and looked here, but they seem to be unable to determine our position. Maybe they can hear ultrasonic waves but cannot see us.

Flying and scanning all the way, the green ripples soon scanned a mountain peak, which was not far in front of us. The spear next to him has not found the mountain peak yet. His level is not as high as that of the flying bird, and his detection range is relatively small. I quickly informed Ziyue to climb with us, and Ziyue's spear immediately followed.

Soon we were approaching the top of the mountain, which was quite high. The flying bird wanted to take us through the gap between the two peaks, so that it would not need to rise too high. It is very laborious for the flying bird to climb in this environment, so we tried not to change the flying height.

A green ripple spread out, and the ground between the peaks was scanned, and every blade of grass could be clearly felt. Two seconds later, another green ripple spread out. This time there was not much change, but I suddenly noticed something wrong. Because we are now connected with each other, Feiniao keenly noticed the problem that I paid attention to, and he immediately fired continuous highlighted ripples to that place, which was a concentrated detection.

What I noticed was a place behind the hillside. It was originally a rock during the last detection, but the rock moved during the second detection, and a pit, or cave, appeared where the rock originally was. Ultrasonic waves Not clear enough to judge depth.

After a concentrated search, we found a strange-looking thing there, and there seemed to be some red groups moving around it. Those red clumps are the infrared rays received by the birds' eyes, that is, thermal radiation. These lumps should be living things. The green thing is some kind of man-made object. It looks familiar.

Suddenly realizing what it was, the bird picked up my thoughts and immediately understood what it was. The thing below is a door ballista, and it is a large ballista, a ballista that can hit and knock us down. The flying bird was supposed to ascend to evade, but now that the combustion chamber was flooded with water and the ascending power was insufficient, so we chose to dive downward. I quickly informed Ziyue next to me that her spear was not capable of detecting such a distant target and could not be found at all. Ziyue simply jumped off her spear, and Feiniao caught her accurately. The unweighted spear quickly dived down to detect the enemy's situation, and my spear was also sent out.

Just when we had just finished all this, the ballista suddenly opened fire. Through the flying bird, I felt a huge ballista with a triangular head flying up. There seemed to be a rope tied behind the thing.

"Hold on." The flying bird plunged down in a rolling dive. When we almost hit the mountain, we suddenly leveled off. The flying bird flew close to the ground with superb flying skills. The crossbow shells were a million miles away and couldn't hit the target at all.

However, unexpectedly, the crossbow shell suddenly exploded in the air, and a big hood covered his face. Judging from the size of the eyes, it is suitable for dealing with large creatures. The flying bird suddenly turned itself vertically upward. In this water environment, it consumes a lot of money to fly like this. I clearly saw four strips trailing out from behind the wings of the flying bird. The blue smoke is obviously different from the white fog next to it.

The vertically climbing bird flew up towards it. Normally, it would be more than enough for a creature the size of a bird, but the bird was slender and had only one pair of wings that were wider. When we rushed to the side, the bird suddenly bent its wings and hugged itself, and the whole bird turned into a round missile, slithering out of its eyes. This flying technique would probably give the giant dragon a headache when he saw it.

The other two lances had already found their targets, and they immediately started attacking. I could hear the sound of sonic bombs from this distance. Something suddenly went wrong after Asuka got his eye out. Black smoke suddenly began to appear on his wings. He probably injured his wings by forcefully ascending just now. I directly summoned Lucky in the air, and then jumped over with Ziyue, and the flying bird was taken back into the space to cultivate. Fortunately, we descended quickly, and Ziyue also quickly summoned the sky fire. The two dragons landed one after another. Tianhuo followed Ziyue and even learned Ziyue's character. After coming down, he rushed to the entrance of the cave and pointed his mouth at the hole and poured a dragon flame.

Flames burst out from several places on the mountain at the same time. It seemed that this cave had many exits. It was really a cunning rabbit with three caves. Ziyue and I ran over immediately after landing. The ballista at the entrance of the cave had long been burned into a pile of scrap metal, and there were several smoking charred corpses next to it.

"This seems to be an orc." Ziyue kicked a corpse over with her feet and made a judgment after looking at it.

I picked up a necklace from the neck of the corpse. This thing is a favorite of orcs and strong orcs. It is a necklace made of skulls carved from small stones and strung together with animal sinews. The workmanship is very good. "Why did the orcs come here?" (I want to emphasize here that orcs and orcs refer to creatures that look like humans but are ugly, and orcs refer to creatures with animal heads and bodies. The two are different.)

"How do I know! You have only been to Dragon Island once, and I have never been to Dragon Island. Are Asian Dragon Islands also so strange?"

"No, although Asian Dragon Island is strange, it is generally very beautiful and full of life. However, it is a mess with all kinds of monsters. I am really confused."

"Would you like to capture an orc and ask? These things are intelligent, so maybe they can ask something?"

"This is a good idea. But how are we going to catch him?" I pointed to the charred corpse on the ground. "Don't even think about it in the cave. It's just like this."

"Then you should go in and take a look! Maybe there is a secret door or something." Ziyue said as she walked into the cave. I had no choice but to follow.

"Wait for me."

After entering the cave, Ziyue lit a torch. She doesn't have night vision like me, so keeping a torch on hand is a normal choice for a player. This hole is not naturally formed. It has only undergone simple processing. Many places are uneven, but some edges and corners have been removed.

"This doesn't look like a connecting passage to the orc city. It should be a simple military outpost." I said after observing the condition of the tunnel.

Ziyue did not answer my words but asked: "Didn't you hear?"

"What do you hear?" I stretched my ears and listened hard. It seemed that there was indeed a sound, but I couldn't hear it clearly. "Is it the wind?"

"How could it be the wind?" Ziyue continued to walk forward.

As we went deeper and deeper, the voice became clearer and clearer. This is a very regular clicking sound, which sounds like the sound of some kind of machinery running, and this is a backward machine built of wood, because I also heard the kind of creaking that the wood makes due to bearing weight. A creaking sound.
