Chapter 34: The Plains of Dust
Soon after, the three people behind Joshua came to their senses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The first to stand up was the old dwarf, and as a gold-level dwarf warrior with a higher rank than Joshua, his physical fitness was very strong. After freeing herself from the dizziness caused by space-time teleportation, Moriah quickly regained her ability to think and began to observe her surroundings.
"Dust in the air is poisonous."
After taking a breath, Moria patted the dust on his body, and immediately said to everyone seriously: "There are too many impurities, and there is some special energy in the gray mist, it can erode our body, although I don't know what the consequences are, but it is definitely not a good thing, everyone be careful." β
"That's right, and it's best not to touch the dirt and gravel on the ground directly, the chaotic power is very strong, and it will be eroded if you are not careful."
Joshua chimed in, and neither he nor Moria talked nonsense, and went straight to what was known. Both of them understand the current situation, and the most important thing now is to understand the situation around them, not meaningless panic and confusion.
ββ¦β¦ Unable to connect. β
On one side, Cleel raised her hand, then frowned, she looked up at the sky, her green eyes staring at the black dome, and shook her head, "No...... This place has no natural will, and I can't connect with it. β
"This is no longer the Mycrof continent, and looking at the surroundings, it is clear that there are no more creatures and jungles here, and the natural cycle is gone...... You can't get along. β
The force of nature is derived from the power of the biosphere, but if the biosphere does not exist, then this power will naturally disappear completely.
Joshua had been sober from the beginning, and he had already determined a series of information, and he said to everyone: "Actually, not only the force of nature, but also the magic and fighting spirit are also in a similar situation, I don't know if you have noticed that the surrounding environment is constantly weakening our strength, just like the magic equipment that is gradually deteriorating in the environment where magic is thin, our power is gradually dissipating." β
As he spoke, the warrior stepped forward, took Rin's hand, and pulled the boy who was still sitting on the ground to his feet.
While holding the other party's palm, Joshua was keenly aware of the difference.
- In Rin's body, there is no loss of energy similar to that of him and the others.
"It's a little strange, isn't the magic machine affected by the surrounding environment? This state of affairs has not been encountered in previous battles...... There is no presumption. β
After everyone was back in shape, they began to examine the situation in detail.
By observing, it was clear that they were now on a barren plain covered with dust and gravel, and the thick gray fog obscured their view, and even Joshua could not see hundreds of meters away, but the view that could be seen was enough to be called very bad.
Hundreds of meters away, there was already a blur, there was no life on the earth, no water, no plants, and no shadow of living creatures, in this barren wilderness, there was nothing but gray fog and dust, even above the sky, it was only a chaotic pitch black, not the slightest sun and starlight, clouds and sky
This is not a scene that can be found in a normal world, even if there is at least magma and demons in the abyss, the current scene reminds Joshua of some uninhabited worlds in the astral void that have not produced life in the first place.
"I'll see what's different in the deep soil."
The warrior simply crouched down, he half-knelt on the ground, checking the dust texture of the earth, and then Joshua tried to dig deep into the dirt at the bottom, and found some surprising marks.
Continuing to dig, after the warrior dug a pit more than three meters deep, he was not surprised to find a lot of things: broken pieces of armor, broken swords, the remains of metal shields, and all kinds of broken weapons, these once hard, tempered blades and armor are now only a little bit of broken debris, fragile and vulnerable.
Thousands of years have passed, even the near-eternal rocks have turned to dust, the toughest of steel industries have turned to rot, and the dust on the plains, which may have once been grass, rocks, human corpses, or other things, is now just a dry piece of gravel, meaningless.
Joshua cautiously tried to remove a fragment of his armor, but even with care, the rotten piece of iron shattered into powder at his touch.
Abandoning the matter of taking out the fragments of weapons in the pit, Joshua jumped back to the ground, his face was serious, then he looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, before we came to this ghost place somehow, you all saw that vision, right?" β
Of course.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they did see the visionβthe Armageddon that took place on the plains.
"I said a possibility, of course, a very good chance is not possible."
Joshua turned his head to the pit he had dug, and then pointed to the fragments of armor and weapons at the bottom of the pit, he raised his voice and said solemnly, "I can probably be sure that where we are now is the place where the war took place, in the vast plain. β
"Any proof, Joshua?"
Moria asked, and he didn't seem to doubt what Joshua said, just asking.
"Except for the fragments of the weapon underneath, no, it's just speculation."
Joshua shook his head, patted the dust off his body, and whispered, "But for now, we can only accept this statement, you know, our previous state is obviously through the time portal - the ghost knows where it came from - and then came to the world behind it. β
This world has been eroded by chaos.
He thought silently in his heart, and then continued: "And just before the crossing, we happened to see the illusion of that scene, you said that there is no coincidence, I don't believe it. β
ββ¦β¦β
Clam up.
In fact, Cleel and Moria had long thought of this possibility, but they were still shocked to be told in such a firm tone, while Rin stood silently behind the warrior, not saying a word.
"That's not good."
Brushing his beard, the old dwarf said with some distress: "The space-time gates leading to our world have been sealed, and it is extremely difficult to go back, and you and I are not here, after a long time, Moldavia will have a big mess." β
"I can only hope that my son will stabilize the situation before we go back." He sighed.
"There is no force of nature here, and my strength has decreased a lot."
Cleel looked very unhappy, the gold druid looked worried, she looked at her white hands, bit her lower lip, and said softly, "The elements are also very inert, and do not listen to my call...... The power of all spells has been reduced by more than eighty percent, and the 'fire' in this world is very weak, which I have never seen before. β
Joshua felt almost the same way, and felt it even deeper than these two people, the energy in his body was constantly overflowing all the time, and no matter how much the warrior tried, he couldn't stop it, just like an increase in entropy, the high energy flowed irrepressibly towards the low energy.
I'm here because of the strange power in the Crystal of Steel, and if I want to go back, I need to at least find the source of this power...... The source of this power must be somewhere in this world.
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but recall the strange voice he heard at the end of the illusion.
"Soul Abyss...... Soul Burner ......"
Muttering a few times, the warrior simply asked the others, "Guys, do you know what a Soul Burner is?" β
The old dwarf glanced at Joshua and said strangely, "Aren't you?" β
"Me?"
Stunned for a moment, Joshua couldn't help frowning: "I am?" β
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Before the old dwarf could answer Joshua's words, a strange light suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
