Chapter 355 Searching in the Mountains

According to Galton and Ofra, this weird aerial mountain road can sense the approach of outsiders as if it is sane. Even if only one Knight Order soldier climbs the mountain road, it will cause a collapse, and each collapse is quite serious. Precise: Only the stones beneath the outsider's feet will collapse. According to the reports of the soldiers who escaped, this collapse process is as strange and unnatural as the appearance of the "Heavenly Road". It is as if the mountain rock is shaking consciously to shake off the insects and ants on its body, and the soldiers are frightened by this. Incessantly. The constant deformation of the entire "heavenly road", the shaking and collapse that cannot be fathomed by human power, and the strange miasma permeating this area have resulted in the Knights being unable to capture this place so far - although there is no "enemy" stationed here, it is stronger than any other. The passes are all impregnable.

Facing the power left over from the ancient magic empire, the modern Dream Plane natives are as helpless as facing the power of nature.

Of course, the Knights can also try to blow up the "bridge", but this is obviously a stupid idea: the Dragon's Back Mountain Range can rebuild the "Heavenly Road" countless times. Unless the entire mountain range is leveled, the matter will never be over. .

After hearing these things, Hao Ren had another doubt: Why is there only such a "bridge" on the south side of the Longji Mountains? If the entire mountain range really becomes fully active, with the "power of action" it shows on the south side, it can even directly engulf the entire Beinz area, and then there will be nothing wrong with the Knights. But the current situation is that there is only one breakthrough in the entire mountain range, and there are only four peaks that can split the stone giant.

Hao Ren guessed that maybe the "ancient power" sleeping in the Dragon's Back Mountains has not yet fully awakened, or maybe this power has been suppressed for thousands of years and now only has so much ability left, or maybe a certain mastermind really does not have the ability to control everything. ——In any case, Hao Ren smelled something disturbing from the changes in this mountain range in the past two months. He felt that there should be a more terrifying power hidden deep in this mountain range, but it has not been shown yet. .

Now, he wants to personally test the weirdness of this place, and let the data terminal monitor the surrounding energy readings in order to find the source of various abnormalities in the Dragon's Back Mountains.

He first threw some stones on the sky mountain road in front of him, but of course it had no effect. Then he walked carefully to the "sky road". At this time, he suddenly remembered that Vivian should be paired with him: she would fly……

But at this time, he didn't think so much. The expected collapse after setting foot on the "Heavenly Road" did not come. Everything around him was still quiet. Let alone the collapse, the ground under his feet did not even shake.

"No response." Hao Ren took a few steps forward and ran back and forth twice more. "Did the soldiers make it up to scare people?"

"Don't make trouble, it's impossible," the data terminal flew around Hao Ren, "They are elite troops, how could they form a group to make such a nasty joke with their superiors, and the soldiers who died in the mountain road collapse accident have already Not just one or two people... I think some kind of surveillance system in this place may be sleeping..."

Hao Ren glared at the data terminal: "You are even more unreliable!"

In short, no matter what, there is nothing abnormal about the surrounding ground. Nangong Wuyue watched nervously from a distance, even coiling herself on a big rock next to her because of her nervousness. At this time, seeing that there was no movement from Hao Ren, she slowly crawled over and said, "Is everything okay? "

"I don't know what the reason is... It seems that we will not arouse the 'alertness' of this mountain." Hao Ren had already subconsciously regarded the changes in this "heavenly road" as a conscious behavior, so he spoke unconsciously. Looking at it personified, "According to what Lily later asked the soldiers in the city, as long as you stand here without moving for more than a few seconds, the place will collapse, and the stones under your feet will roll over, and even suddenly bounce up and kill people. Thrown over the cliff below, never except now."

Nangong Wuyue used the tip of his tail to pat the nearby ground in circles, as if trying to find a hollow underground place, but of course found nothing: "Does this mountain only react to 'locals'? It might There is indeed a detection mechanism, but it is not manually operated. This automatic detection mechanism will only treat the residents of this world as 'human beings'."

Hao Ren touched his chin and nodded: "It's possible. Anyway, let's go back and follow the trail to the mountains to check the situation."

As Hao Ren said that, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from. Nangong Wuyue followed him squirmingly, but just a few steps after the two of them walked out, they heard a loud "bang" coming from a distance!

Nangong Wuyue suddenly exclaimed in fright: "Ah - collapse, collapse, collapse..."

As a result, there was no movement on the ground beneath her feet until she finished exclaiming: The loud noise just now came from somewhere else. Hao Ren turned around helplessly to comfort the useless sea monster: "Don't be so nervous, it's somewhere else... Well, do you need to be like this?"

It turned out that Nangong Wuyue rolled up his tail reflexively the moment the rumble sounded. It was an unfathomable speed of self-binding. When Hao Ren turned his head, he saw a familiar snake ball behind him. Dangling back and forth, Nangong Wuyue's upper body was waving his arms in an effort to maintain balance.

Hao Ren covered his forehead: "... Do you need to roll yourself into an Orochimaru every time you encounter some trouble?"

Nangong Wuyue murmured as he untied himself: "Is this what Orochimaru's pills mean..."

The roar just now came from the east - deep in the mountainous area where Hao Ren was located, and it sounded some distance away from here. Hao Ren suspected that a new stone giant had collapsed from the mountain wall, so he took Nangong Wuyue and rushed over to check the situation. They ran wildly on the rugged mountain road, and after a while they approached the location where the sound came from. At this time, Nangong Wuyue suddenly called out to Hao Ren in a low voice: "There is the smell of blood."

"How come your noses are sharper than mine?" Hao Ren quickly slowed down and muttered subconsciously.

Nangong Wuyue knelt down and walked slowly along the mountain wall. His voice was very low: "There are specialties in the art industry - according to what you said, we can't even compare our noses with Lily."

As Nangong Wuyue spoke, she approached a tall rock. She hid her body, coiled her tail into coils of mosquito-repellent incense and then slowly lifted it up. Hao Ren felt that this girl had more functions than he imagined. One point: She is still a jack, although I don’t know what the load-bearing capacity is...

The siren girl raised her head and glanced outside. She immediately let out a low exclamation and motioned for Hao Ren to step forward. Hao Ren immediately put up his shield and ran in front: Nangong Wuyue didn't have much fighting ability. If there were really enemies, he had to run in front.

However, there were no stone giants at the scene. Under the hazy moonlight, there were only a few scattered soldiers on a small rocky flat in the mountains - strictly speaking, they were dead soldiers. Their death was miserable, and they obviously died at the hands of the stone giants.

"He died not long ago," Nangong Wuyue quickly walked to one of the soldiers, "the blood is still warm. It's so miserable..."

Her voice was a little bit sad. After traveling for a hundred years in the world, she had seen a lot of life and death. In fact, she had no objection to the dead, but people who died at the hands of the stone giant were often extremely tragic. Even an alien like her felt a little uncomfortable. .

Most of these dead soldiers had broken limbs, broken tendons and broken hands, and some were even crushed to the ground with their armor on. There were also several magicians at the scene, but these magicians obviously didn't have time to use their gravity magic to deal with stone giants. Killed: They didn't even have time to activate their wands.

Thinking of the sudden loud cracking sound just now, it is easy to guess what happened here: these soldiers should be members of the Kingdom Knights patrolling the Dragon's Back Mountains. According to the situation on the scene, they should be taking a temporary rest here. For a moment, but just when these soldiers relaxed their vigilance, the cliff above their heads suddenly collapsed - stone giants fell from the sky, giving these people no time to react. Some of them were probably killed on the spot.

Hao Ren looked up at the rock wall and found what seemed to be the dent left by the stone giant's collapse.

It is a small probability event, but it is an unfortunate event that is really possible in the current Longji Mountains. The soldiers and mercenaries who come and go from the mountain road every day are most afraid of stone giants falling from the sky and hitting them. , but there are not many who have suffered disasters from the sky like these soldiers in front of me.

"The monster should have gone down the mountain road," Nangong Wuyue raised his body and looked into the distance. The traces left by the stone giant on the road were still easy to find. "Do you want to chase it?"

It was just a lone stone giant, which was of little value to Hao Ren now. There were countless such giant monsters wandering on the west side of the mountain range, so he shook his head: "No, let's go to the main peak and have a look. Data The terminal detected a reaction that was suspected to be an energy active point."

The two of them held a moment of silence for these soldiers who had suffered misfortunes. Nangong Wuyue left a layer of barrier around the corpses to prevent wild beasts in the mountains from eating the corpses of these soldiers. Naturally, other patrol troops would find these missing soldiers the next day and take them to the soldiers. They take it back.

Then they left here.

But they hadn't gone far when the expression on Nangong Wuyue's face suddenly changed: "Go back! There's something going on!"
