Chapter 601: Maple Forest
Let's talk, apart from those you don't want to communicate, is there anything else the two of us have to say? ”
Uma slowly walked out of the room.
"Remember the last time I told you?" The mountain girl spoke directly.
"I need you to help me with something."
The smile on Uma's face retracted, "Didn't you say you needed Roger's strength to some extent?" ”
"It's just one aspect, the most important thing is the change in you."
The mountain girl pointed to Uma.
"You went somewhere peculiar, resembling a shadow fragment."
Uma didn't answer, but her attitude already said it all.
"How do I know, you mean?"
The mountain girl said to herself.
"You're not going to tell me." Uma sneered.
"Yes, I won't, but listen to me, the next thing is important to us, as long as you're willing to help me......"
Uma plugged her ears irritably, she knew that such an action could not affect the voice of the mountain girl, she just wanted to express the emotions in her heart through her own actions.
"I can give you freedom."
Uma was stunned for a moment, but soon the expression on her face became extremely angry, "Hell, freedom, the last time you said that to me, I became a sarcoma on your ugly body!" ”
"Do you think I'll still believe you?"
"Or else?" The mountain girl sneered.
"But trust me, can you count on your so-called master?"
"I'm the only one in this world who stands firmly on the same side as you."
"You know that the contract between you and that man doesn't give you real freedom."
Uma was silent.
The mountain girl continued.
"You must have sensed something special in that place you are going, and if you have the chance, I hope you can guide your master to the deepest and most central part of that area."
"Uma, you know how to find there, and the energy will guide you."
"And then?"
Uma looked up.
"And then, then you don't have to do anything."
The mountain girl was expressionless.
"What will happen to Roger?" After hesitating for a long time, Uma asked.
"Him?"
"I don't know."
…………
When Roger and Yatsukaku left, they didn't attract anyone's attention.
At first, Roger thought that entering the Darklands would require a trekking through mountains and rivers, but after setting out, he realized that this was not the case.
He Jianjiao came to the city below Hanchuan, and teleported the two to Mingsha City through the Black Tower, and what he did next opened Roger's eyes.
After entering Mingsha City, Yagajian Corner rested for a day, and then when the first rays of sunlight hit the top of the Black Tower the next day, a talisman was buried at the central intersection directly east of the city.
Then, every once in a while, Yagakanjiao changed its position, following the trajectory of the sun, and buried corresponding objects in all corners of the city.
The places he chose were all intersections, and the places were all strange.
A wheel, a fan, unknown hairs and eyeballs, until finally the sun set, and under the circle, Yagajian Jiao buried the last talisman in the direction of facing the sun due west.
So far, all the work is complete.
In this process, Roger did not bother Yagajianjiao, he could see that this was not a fixed process.
There must be something hidden in it that he doesn't know, and the things used in it are very strange, and there are many things that people can't think of the Yin and Yang Circle.
"Here, where the vitality of many cities converges, it is the entrance to the place of constant darkness, on which the expansion of cities and the concentration of people are based."
Yatsuya explained casually.
"Then we need to wait."
After finishing the work at hand, Yatsugaku looked a lot more relaxed, "12, this is the number of all entrances so far, and the rate of growth has been getting faster and faster in recent years. ”
"The people of Tengu Shrine may already feel hopeless, since they can't be killed, let's merge with each other."
Time passed little by little, and Yagakujian sat in the black tower.
Day and night alternate, transformations occur in an instant, and at the same time, at the crossroads of the city, what has been buried during the day is activated by unknown forces.
Starting from the first talisman in the east, all the nodes were opened in turn, and Roger noticed the changes in the city, and at first he could perceive the vitality stirring in the energy nodes, but soon this power weakened.
The whole city was asleep, and the changes went unnoticed by anyone.
As the ritual progresses, the vitality fades and darkness grows.
In the corners of the city, some forces are beginning to stir up.
It's very slow to say, starting with the first talisman buried in the east and ending with the last talisman buried in the west, and it only takes a dozen breaths before and after.
It's over, and all the forces converge on the Black Tower.
Buzz!
The energy oscillated, and the world was turned upside down in an instant!
It's not a description, but Roger watches the black tower where he and Yatsuya are spinning upside down.
When everything fell silent, Roger frowned, he was already aware of the dark energy outside the Black Tower.
Yatsuya opened his eyes and stood up.
"Came in."
"This is the place of constant darkness."
"When we leave here, our vitality is magnified and captured by what wanders inside."
"To find the Everdark Flower, we need to return through here."
He put on a hood draped over his robe, "Be careful, this garment will cover us with life, and try not to engage in pointless battles, which will expose our tracks." ”
Yachiya Jianjiao admonished.
Roger nodded, hiding his face in the shadow of his hood.
"Let's go!"
Taking a step forward, the structure around the Black Tower passed through his body like an illusion, and feeling the familiar smell of decay beneath his feet, Roger knew he was in the Constant Darkness again.
As he walked away, the inverted Black Tower gradually became illusory until it disappeared.
"Won't anyone destroy this place?" Roger asked with some curiosity.
Yatsuya shook his head, "It's not here, it's not there, the passage was opened by me, and no one else can find it." ”
"Amazing Yin-Yang Technique." Roger sighed.
"Who created such a powerful Yin-Yang technique?"
"To be honest, I don't know, it seems that from the beginning, this kind of yin-yang technique has existed."
Yatsuya replied casually, and then he looked up as if to discern the direction.
Truth be told, there was no sun or moon in this place, the sky was chaotic, there was no obvious reference, and Roger didn't even know which direction to go.
"Here, we judge the direction by the special areas of the world, the strange mountains, rivers and buildings."
"In these areas, there will also be powerful monsters, and most of them will be named after the special landscape of the area where they are located."
"Mt. Hiei, Kaede Forest, Kurokawa, Kasumi-ji Temple, and so on."
Yachiya explained casually.
Kurokawa ...... Hearing the name, Roger thought of the powerful man dressed in black.
"According to the celebrities, the place we are going to should be near the maple grove, where each area will have a different atmosphere."
A disc appeared on the palm of Kenkaku Yatsuka, "This is the only criterion for judging the direction." ”
"Strength and weakness, far and near."
Roger noticed that the disc in Yagaku's hand was completely different from the traditional compass and other things that could discern direction.
To him, it looked more like an overturned dye tray.
Different colors represent different areas, and the place where the Black Tower was originally located is the most conspicuous, and it will be much easier to return the way it came.
"Let's go."
Yachi's figure flickered, and Roger followed closely.
The black robe on their bodies can hide their vitality, but they can't use the spiritual power in their bodies to move forward at full speed, and the three-legged black speed bonus.
At first, Yaga Jianjiao was worried that Luo Bojie would not be able to keep up with his speed, and deliberately controlled the spiritual power in his body.
Soon he found that Roger behind him also increased his speed, and he slowed down, and Roger also became slow.
A little competitiveness rose in his heart, although the spiritual power fluctuations on Roger's body had also reached the realm of psychics, but Yaga Jianjiao still had some pride of his own in his heart.
In his opinion, the fluctuation of strength does not represent the actual combat strength, Roger's rapid improvement naturally has some of his talent, but more importantly, it should be the help of the Jackdaw Sword Master.
In fact, this is the real reason why Yatsuya Kenko repeatedly asks Roger.
In his heart, the attention of the Jackdaw Sword Master is what matters.
Obviously, in recent times, Roger has been the one who has attracted a lot of attention.
If he knew what Yagashi was thinking, Roger would probably be amused.
No matter how you look at it, this is like the mind of a proud teenager who wants to be recognized by his father independently.
But in fact, although Yatsuya Jianjiao grew up in this chaotic world, he has been growing up in Hanchuan, and he has the most powerful sword master to guide his cultivation, and he is talented and intelligent.
He lived a short life without experiencing any setbacks.
All the thoughts are on getting the approval of the Jackdaw Sword Master.
This idea, which seems a little ridiculous in this world, is very reasonable to him.
Although Roger's appearance made Yagaku feel a little strange, deep down he still had his own pride.
But at this time, under the condition of limited spiritual power, as well as the speed bonus of the three-legged black, Yachi Jianjiao felt that he was just barely tiring with the young man behind him, and he was somewhat unconvinced.
He tried to speed up, but as time passed, he became more and more frightened.
Roger's speed is steady and terrifying.
It is clear that he does have a speed bonus, but Roger also has a physical boost.
In the case of suppressing the fluctuations of spiritual power at the same time, Roger's staying power is stronger.
In this way, in a strange atmosphere, the two of them moved forward one after the other.
On the way, I occasionally encountered monsters that found anomalies, but before I could get closer, they were thrown away by the two of them.
I also met a difficult guy in the middle, but Yachiya Jianjiao made an instant move, solved the other party with a face-to-face, and then the two quickly moved away.
In this chaotic place, in addition to the sense of direction, even time has become blurred.
This is not an exaggeration, but seems to be inherent in the nature of this place.
Not long ago, when he was with Sunset Mountain, Roger used the Hunter's Hut to determine the passage of time.
I don't know how long it took, but the Hachigajian Corner, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped, and the two came to a hill, and as far as the eye could see, a stretching red line appeared in the sky.
Brilliant as fire.
The maple grove has arrived.
"There are plants in this kind of place?"
Accustomed to seeing the bare and desolate scene, and gradually getting used to the stench that permeated the surroundings, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and Roger actually felt refreshed.
"Be careful."
Hachiya Jianjiao said in a condensed voice.
"Several other areas have monsters whose strength has reached the level of the Lord or close to the Lord reside, but this is the only place that is very strange."
"It is said that a few powerful monsters appeared a long time ago, but then they left here one after another, and over time, it became a place that no one cared about."
The expression on Roger's face also became solemn.
He had felt the strength of the Black River Lord, even if the strength of the other monsters did not reach the level of the Lord, but since even they would not choose this place, it was enough to show the strangeness of this place.
The two of them rested for a while, dealt with a few strange monsters, and when their strength returned to their peak, they set off to rush to the maple forest in the distance.
"Celebrities once told me that when they first came here, it was a complete coincidence, and the maple forest on the periphery was like a large labyrinth."
"When he was chased by a powerful monster, he remembered that he had been running into the depths of the maple forest, and when he was almost exhausted, he was lucky enough to run out of the maple forest, and then saw a towering giant tree."
"There was a naturally formed passage under the tree, and he followed it into it, and deep underground, he found the Flower of Constant Darkness."
"However, according to the celebrity, he did not approach at the time, but took another path to the surface, carefully hid, and finally left there."
"So our goal this time is to find the giant tree."
As they spoke, the two of them had come to the edge of the maple forest.
Bang la blah.
There was no wind, but as the two approached, the leaves rubbed against each other, as if welcoming the arrival of the two.
Yachi's corner flicked casually.
Tong!
Spiritual power runs through the trunk of the tree.
Knock knock knock.
A hole broke in the trunk of the tree, and viscous blood gushed out of it, and the leaves of the maple tree rubbed against each other, making a sound that resembled a scream.
Immediately after, the roots of the other trees around them burst through the ground and tangled into the wounds of the maple tree.
In just a few breaths, a pile of dead wood was left in place, but strangely enough, from the shriveled trunks there was a stench like that of corpses.
Roger tentatively released a part of his spiritual power, as if he was shocked, the friction of the leaves suddenly stopped, and all the branches spontaneously parted to the sides, forming a passage in front of the two of them.
Glancing at each other, the two of them were on guard and walked into the maple forest together.
The building angle is in the front, and Roger is in the back.
"Although these things are plants, they have biological properties, and they even know fear."
Yatsuya said.
Roger nodded, he seemed to feel something through the passage more than ten meters long, stopped and turned his head sharply.
Behind him, a passage of more than ten meters remains.
But farther away, it's endless splendor.
In all directions, the rubbing leaves emitted a silent mockery.
