Chapter 830 Alsace
After the three passed through the portal, they came to a completely unfamiliar world. The sky here was so gray that they couldn't even see the sun, and the surroundings seemed to be filled with thick fog, so they couldn't see what it was like in the distance. environment of.
The portal behind them disappeared after they came out. Gorefiend, as he said, would not give any help to everyone. From now on, they can only explore this completely strange world by themselves.
Suddenly, there was a faint cry-like shrill voice from a distance, and in the thick fog in the distance, there seemed to be something incomparably huge, moving slowly, but when you look carefully, But can't see anything.
As early as when the voice appeared, Bei Na quietly hugged Qi Ling's arm, and her big smart eyes kept looking around, looking very nervous, which made Qi Ling laugh for a while. The girl also said that she was not afraid. , is clearly already afraid of dying.
At this time, Jianlan also hugged Qi Ling's other arm, Qi Ling wondered: "Jianlan, are you afraid of these things too?"
"Oh, Qi Ling, I'm a girl too, of course I'm afraid, and the fog is so thick here, if we get separated, it won't be good." Jianlan said with a smile, but there was no sign of fear. .
In desperation, Qi Ling had to take the two to start looking for clues, and soon found a path paved with stones in a dry forest, and did not know where it led.
"Let's go, let's take a look, maybe we can find some clues." Qi Ling said.
The three of them walked along the stone road. Before long, Beina pointed to the front in surprise and said, "Hey, Qi Ling, Jianlan, look, there is a big scarecrow in front of you!"
In the direction Beina pointed, a scarecrow with a height of three meters stood on the side of the road. On two arms made of branches, one hand held a worn-out copper lamp, and the other hand raised with a sickle.
Although its face is also made up of straw, it doesn't know why, but it has a big mouth, and the straw seems to form sharp teeth, which looks daunting.
Out of curiosity, Beina walked over to the scarecrow, and Qi Ling frowned and observed, and said, "Beina, be careful. It is."
Qi Ling originally wanted to remind Beina that this scarecrow was not an ornament, but a living creature, but it was too late. The scarecrow in front of Beina had already moved Qi Ling, and it made a sound like rust rubbing, and it was In a completely irregular manner, the limbs of her crawled towards Beina in a crawling state.
"Yah--!" Facing such a sudden and strange thing, Beina was so frightened that she almost flew away, she even forgot to resist the attack, and saw that the scarecrow's scythe was about to be swung down.
And just when Qi Ling was about to make a move, a sword light suddenly shot at the scarecrow from the side, directly cutting off one of its arms, making it lose its ability to attack.
Beina, who had reacted, suddenly felt annoyed and angry, and rushed towards it like a little tiger: "Damn, let you scare me, let you scare me!" It didn't take long for the scarecrow to be dismantled.
When Bei Na calmed down, he said to Qi Ling, "Really, okay, let's move on, I hope there will be no such thing in front of you, otherwise, I'll take one down!"
Qi Ling pointed to the front helplessly, and said, "You mean, that group?"
"Ah?" Beina heard Qi Ling's words, and looked forward slowly, only to see a large group gradually revealed in the thick fog, just like this scarecrow, the scarecrow parked there quietly, with a sickle in his hand Reflects the cold light.
Seeing this group of monsters, Beina's face suddenly turned ugly. After hesitating for a while, she slipped quietly behind Qi Ling and silently grabbed the corner of Qi Ling's clothes.
Qi Ling looked at the scarecrows in front of him, and couldn't help frowning. From the attack of Jianlan just now, it can be seen that these things are not powerful monsters, they can even be said to be quite fragile and can be killed very easily.
Even if there are a lot of them, they will not pose any threat at all. If it is under normal circumstances, Qi Ling can kill them all without much effort.
But what really made Qi Ling hesitate was that the scarecrow who had a hand cut off by Jianlan and was removed by Beina just now reassembled himself and returned to his original place. In the place, he resumed his previous posture and remained motionless.
There is no doubt that these things are not afraid of being demolished, and even Qi Ling began to doubt whether these things would have no life at all. stimulus response.
"Sure enough, it's a weird place. If you do it easily, something bad will happen." Qi Ling said cautiously, "Jianlan, what do you think?"
Jianlan also said slowly at this time: "My sword qi does not feel like it has cut life. These things should be dead objects, and they are manipulated by a special force."
It's like throwing a fist at the sky, if you don't understand the principle of their existence, it's impossible to deal with them.
"Hey hey, a few distinguished guests, do you need help?" At this moment, a strange voice suddenly appeared, and then in Qi Ling's surprised eyes, a man in a cloak appeared in Qi Ling at an unknown time. beside them.
Qi Ling was very sure that before and after this person appeared, he had absolutely no feelings, as if he just existed in the air there, without any sense of existence, and even whether he was a living body, it was impossible for people to judge.
Beina and Jianlan were also very surprised at the appearance of this person, and they didn't feel anything, so Qi Ling asked cautiously: "Who are you? What do you mean by help?"
The man continued to speak from the cloak that was completely shrouded: "Hey hey, don't be afraid of the distinguished guests, my name is Arthas, I'm just a guide, all I have to do is to come here. The guests, they all take them where they want to go.”
"Do you know where we want to go?" Qi Ling asked.
"Hey hey, of course I know, please come with me." Afterwards, Arthas didn't say anything else and walked forward by himself.
After thinking for a while, Qi Ling followed behind Arthas with the two of them, and then he quietly cut his fingers and wiped his blood on his eyes.
It doesn't matter, at first glance, Qi Ling was immediately surprised and didn't know what to say, because only a green skull appeared in the length of this Arthas.
Thinking of what the Gorefiend said, Qi Ling felt speechless. Where did such an opponent who could not resist, where did he plan to take the three of them? Wouldn't it be better for them to run away now?
But then Qi Ling gave up the idea. He didn't know anything about this place. If he escaped without authorization, the situation might be more complicated.
Under the leadership of Alsace, the scarecrows around didn't seem to be able to feel the breath of the three of them. They just watched them pass by, but they didn't make any movement. A sigh.
"Qi Ling, you say, is he really a good person? Otherwise, why would he take us out of there?" Beina said.
Qi Ling sighed helplessly: "Hey, Beina, I don't think there would be any good people in a place like this. The reason why he took us away must have his own purpose."
"Hey hey, that's right, a few distinguished guests." Arthas apparently heard a few people's words, and let out a strange laugh, "Before telling a few of my purpose, I also ask a few to guess a little puzzle! Do you know where these scarecrows on the side of the road come from?"
Qi Ling looked at the scarecrow on the side of the road and found that the number of these things was far more amazing than he imagined! In the thick fog, there is simply an endless army of scarecrows!
"I don't know, it's not enough I think, it shouldn't be any fun," Qi Ling said.
But Arthas smiled and said: "Oh, it's fun, it's very fun! These people are all the people who were defeated by fear and despair in this Howling Abyss, and then stayed behind! That is to say, each of them is inside , but there is a real soul in it!"
After listening to Arthas' words, the three of them were suddenly surprised: "You, what did you say?! You mean, these scarecrows are actually the souls of living people?"
"That's right, the souls of those who are swallowed up by despair and fear will stay here and become the eternal guardians here!" Arthas said, "Of course, here are all weak guys, really powerful souls. , will be stronger here as well.”
Qi Ling frowned and said, "If that's the case, how come so many people come to such a terrifying place? Shouldn't they be all tied up by you?"
"Oh, honored guest, you are really joking. I don't need to do such a thing. Every day people want to come here, but there is an endless stream!" Alsasi laughed, "After all, people's greed is eternal. There is no limit, and only the real strong can take away what they want from here."
"What on earth is there that can make so many people flock to it?" Qi Ling asked.
"That's too much, there are elixir to bring back the dead, there is a powerful magic weapon, there is the supreme determination to decarbonize and change one's bones, and everything you want!" Arthas laughed, "Of course, also There is what you want, once the number one demon soldier in the world, the demon god Fang Tianji!"
"Devil God Fang Tianji?" Qi Ling said silently to one side, Gorefiend said before that his weapon seemed to be called this name, but he clearly said that no one except him would know the whereabouts of this demon soldier. Why? Will this Alsace know?
As if feeling Qi Ling's doubts, Arthas continued: "Please don't be confused, I know everything in the Howling Abyss, because I am the Howling Abyss itself!"
