Chapter 404 Before the Sun Rises

Someone once said this: The deepest darkness will disappear with the faintest ray of light.

Standing outside the endless darkness, although Zheng Qing was aware of the horror of the darkness, it was not until he walked in the darkness that he could appreciate the suffocating aura beneath the horror.

One mile, five miles.

Thirty miles, sixty miles.

One hundred miles, two hundred miles, three hundred miles...

At the end of the darkness, the light spot that Zheng Qing and others regarded as a road sign not only did not become larger and clearer as the distance increased, but instead dimmed for a time, fading from a milky white light spot to a dark red.

Like a supernova, after being fully sublimated, the remains are slowly burning.

This made Zheng Qing doubt whether they were really moving in the right direction and in a straight line.

But under the night of the hell world, except for the light spot, the group had no other way to identify the direction. Both the spell and the compass can only roughly point to the east, west, north, and south. The powerful confusion spell around the Black Hell Castle interferes with all attempts to locate its direction through magic.

Four hundred miles, eight hundred miles.

One thousand miles, two thousand miles, three thousand miles...

The forward movement in the darkness seemed to be endless. The black cat had stopped singing long ago, and its upright tail drooped down, limply hanging behind it, like a water snake with its bones removed.

Zhu Si was also tired of the same boring environment around him and began to take a nap on Zheng Qing's back.

Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu, on the other hand, seemed to always be able to find something to talk about.

From the old fish man's prophecy in Quan Ke Lai to his daily hobbies; from Zheng Qing's study and life experience in Baiding's world, to Jiang Yu's growth in the magical world; from the old patrolman Vern of Linzhong Lake The name of Uncle’s dog (May), the author of the simple paintings behind the door of the teaching building (May); then the five drawing methods of the meditation talisman, the taboos and tips when reciting the Heart Sutra, and the final review homework Points, etc.

From time to time, the witch would take out a few sweet magic drinks from her handbag to moisten their throats. Zheng Qing would also take out the snacks he had prepared for Zhu Si from the gray cloth bag - part of which had already been consumed. It’s a dreamland, but there is still some left.

The two young wizards walked in the never-ending darkness with a word to you and a word to me.

Although he didn't talk endlessly, he never stopped, allowing this small adventure team to always maintain a trace of vitality and vitality, fighting against the seemingly endless lifeless atmosphere around them.

The Baicao Candle has long been used up.

In fact, after traveling more than two thousand miles, the young wizards have realized that their preparations are a little redundant, and there is no need to conceal their aura.

Just like what the old lich said before setting off.

All the decent prisoners in the Black Prison have been recruited and taken away by the big monsters to attack the Black Prison Castle, and most of the remaining prisoners are little monsters with no future.

Most of these little monsters have a strong resistance to light. When they saw the five "little stars" floating in the air, they ran away early.

Even the little demon who was brave enough to rush into the starlight envelope was harmless. To deal with these little monsters, Black Cat doesn't even need to take action. The old lich who is responsible for acting as a bait has already solved most of the troubles.

Speaking of this journey, there is another interesting thing.

About a thousand kilometers away from the starting point, the group passed through a field filled with the aura of death. Compared with the silence in other parts of the Black Prison, the deathly silence in this area seems a bit 'fresh'.

Just like a land barren of grass, the desolation of the Gobi Desert is in perfect harmony with the world that gave birth to it. It is desolate and natural; while the mountains and grasslands after being ravaged by fires are pregnant with a touch of life in the dead silence, which is desolate and unnatural.

In Jiang Yu's words, the dead silence in this area lacks a "heavy sense of history." You can even feel a trace of magic power fluctuations remaining between heaven and earth, as if two powerful wizards had a decisive battle here not long ago.

Zheng Qing held the rune gun and looked around cautiously, not commenting on the witch's speculation.

Because of the remaining magic power fluctuations, the team temporarily stopped moving forward. The black cat summoned the 'Moonrise Bright' that covered a wider area and completely illuminated the wasteland.

As far as the eye can see, there is a scene of ashes. There is not a larger stone, not a dead tree, not a demon, not even a slightly abrupt hill in the flat wilderness - the entire wilderness seems to have been destroyed by a giant. Smoothing it with the palm of my hand, the ground was covered with black ash.

The corners of Zheng Qing's eyes twitched slightly, and the rune gun in his arms quietly lowered its muzzle.

Jiang Yu also frowned and her nose quivered slightly. She was confused to find that this dead area gave people a familiar sense of sight, as if she had been in contact with it somewhere before.

The black cat sauntered back from the front with its tail erect. The old lich hunched over and stood humbly not far behind the black cat.

"What did you do?" Black Cat glared at Zheng Qing rudely.

Jiang Yu's face showed a hint of surprise.

Zheng Qing turned his face in embarrassment - when the 'Moonrise Bright' rose, he clearly felt that the remaining magic power in this area had an inexplicable interaction with his rune gun, which was related to the previous entry into the Black Prison. He once fired randomly in mid-air, and he suddenly realized that this 'fresh' dead silence was caused by himself.

After the rune bomb disappeared into the night, Zheng Qing was worried about whether it would cause any trouble, but considering that the only prisoners in the black prison were the wasteland, this worry was finally put aside by him.

I never thought I would see my 'masterpiece' here again.

"Good luck," the young public-funded student laughed dryly, and lowered the muzzle of the rune gun in his hand: "I was worried about accidentally shooting a certain wizard guarding the black prison... I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. ”

The black cat tilted his head and stared at the boy.

"very funny?"

The black cat's dark face was wrinkled, and his eyes were full of annoyance: "You are like a three-year-old child now, carrying a knife made of platinum, walking carelessly in the downtown... Every time you shoot, you will Attracting those coveting eyes in the market; every time you shoot, there is a possibility of being scratched... Do you still find it interesting? "

Zheng Qing lowered his eyebrows and accepted the lessons from his shadow honestly.

This made the black cat feel like his claws were caught in cotton.

"Since there is nothing unusual, let's continue on our way,"

Jiang Yu made a smooth move at the right time, and pointed at the full moon in mid-air that was the size of a pot lid: "The wasted magic power of 'The Moon Rising Brightly' is a bit large, and it is too bright, making it difficult for us to see the location of the 'Lighthouse' clearly. ... Let’s continue to use ‘咒比小星’.”
