"The Land of Black Earth?"

Not everyone knows the meaning of the word "black soil".

Cecilia and Durune would find out, and Sean wouldn't be surprised at all. Because the word "black earth" was passed down by magicians, and the Kingdom of Portoroa was a country dominated by magic, it was not uncommon for Drune to know that "black earth" was not unusual.

"You know that there is a land of black soil here, why didn't you tell us at the beginning!" Du Ruen suddenly looked like a raging beast, and the elegance and etiquette of the nobility completely disappeared from him at this moment, "Do you know the danger of the land of the black earth!" ”

"Zhilu Dao." Sean said calmly, "Remember what I told you, right? This is the Starfall Forest, a place I know better than you do. ”

"You ......" was intimidated by Sean's calm momentum, and Du Ruan didn't know what to say for a while.

"What the hell is the Land of Black Earth?" Old Peter also frowned, and at this moment he sensed the panic and fear in Durune's heart.

The atmosphere became a little chilly.

Fear began to breed in the crowd.

"Let's go first, talk as we go." Sean didn't answer immediately, but urged everyone to get ready, and then set off immediately.

Although after the development and revolution of "Prosperous Times", "Miracle" has indeed been greatly improved, especially in terms of AI, which has been achieved to the extreme. But there is still a big gap between the game and reality after all, at least in the game, Sean has not heard of anyone being treated like this by the Wind Pattern Black Wolf Clan, even if there is a "Ethnic Hatred" DUBUFF on his body, it is far from being strong enough to require the Wind Pattern Black Wolf King to take action personally.

Sure enough, there is still a big difference between the game and reality.

The team soon set out on the journey again, perhaps caused by Cecilia and Durune's change of attitude, and the whole team was in an extremely tense atmosphere. Sean knew that this would accelerate the physical and mental exhaustion of the team, but at this time, he had no time to take into account the adjustment of psychological factors in this regard, because he himself had to pay close attention to prevent any accidents that might occur.

But just because Sean didn't answer doesn't mean the rest of the team will be silenced because of this.

Although Halley is a little fat, he has lost some weight in the last few days, and although he is still out of breath when he runs, he can at least say a few words: "Mr. Durune, what the hell ...... Land of Black Soil...... Be...... What the? ”

Durune's face struggled for a moment, and his gaze fell on Sean's back: "That madman! ”

But in the end, he could only sigh helplessly: "You should all know that when the Age of Ashes comes, there will be no light in this world, and even the order of the old era will completely collapse......"

Hearing Du Ruan's words, Sean couldn't help but think of the official background setting of "Miracle".

At the end of the Twilight Age, the hatred of the gods had become irreparable, so the people no longer believed in the gods, and the angry gods sent down divine punishments, and the entire world became chaotic. And because they no longer believed in the gods, they lost their divine powers, and they had to start turning to other aspects, and they began to come into contact with the realm of the elements, so that they could perform magical means without the help of divine power, which made the gods feel panic and fear, so in order to re-establish the majesty of the gods, the gods finally started a protracted war with the peoples.

It was a lose-lose war that historians call "Ragnarok". …,

After the war, the gods ceased to exist, but the nations did not usher in what they called the ideal world. The amount of alienating power left over from the divine power and elements has broken the order of the entire world, and the protection of the gods has been lost, and the sky has lost its color, and desolation and ruins have become the most common scene in the entire world, like the ashes left after the flame burns.

Because of this, this era is called the Age of Ashes.

"In the Age of Ashes, there was no light in the world, and even the air was turbid." "But these are not the most terrifying, what is really terrifying is the ubiquitous dark power in the world. Under the continuous invasion of these dark forces, any species will be robbed of life, and only a few places in the entire world can barely survive if they still retain the power of residual order. ”

"These places are called the Ark." Cecilia took Durune's words in a soft voice, "The gods have not abandoned the people after all, and in the last moments of that war, the god of order may have realized something, and he sacrificed himself to turn into countless sparks of resurrection. …… The reason why the ark can allow all people to continue to live is because there is a revival fire in the ark, and only the power of order generated by the revival fire can resist the invasion of the dark force. ”

"Those places that have been invaded by the forces of darkness are called the land of black earth." Durune glanced at Cecilia, he was also a little curious about Cecilia's identity, of course, more amazed by her talent, "You don't know that it's normal to be in the land of black soil, after all, the rest of the land adjacent to the Kingdom of Cerien is a rich land and a powerful country. But in fact, there are still many black soil lands in this world, such as the black soil land further east of the Putoloa Kingdom, which is a place without light and heat, let alone food. ”

"So wouldn't it be better to just bury the flame of recovery?"

"It's not as simple as you think." Cecilia shook her head, "Only in the dark vortex of the Black Earth Land can the revival fire be buried and order in the Black Earth Land restored. In this world, there is an organization called the Pioneers' Guild, and their duty is to find the fire of recovery, so that the land of black soil can be restored to a place of order, so that people can reclaim new land and build new homes. However, the land of black soil is also very dangerous, and according to the strength of the dark power generated by the dark vortex, the amount of dark power on the land of black soil is also strong and weak. …… There are some places where the dark power is relatively weak, even we can go, and some places where the dark power is relatively strong, even the legendary powerhouses dare not trespass. ”

At this point, Cecilia paused slightly, and then said in an unquestioning tone: "Since Sean dares to bring us, it proves that this black earth land can be passed through even by us alone." …… But even if we could get through, the dangers of the Black Dirt were by no means something we could afford to take lightly. ”

Cecilia's words clearly reminded everyone that there was no doom ahead, but if you take it lightly, you will still die.

Behind him, the howls of the wolves came and went, mixed with a few more high-pitched roars.

Hearing these wolf howls, everyone couldn't help but start to rejoice, Sean's judgment was really accurate, and even the fear of the black soil land was not so strong.

Of course, it was the same with Durune.

After all, as citizens of the Kingdom of Portoia, the vast majority of Portoroa people have seen the land of black soil with their own eyes, so they naturally have a relatively full understanding of the fear of this land. And Durune's knowledge of this land is even deeper than that of ordinary people of the Kingdom of Portoroa, because he is a pioneer officially registered by the Pioneer Guild, and he has also had the experience of entering the Black Earth Land once. …,

This time, because it was rushing with all its might, coupled with the lack of harassment from the demonic beasts, the team's advance speed was a few points faster than before.

However, everyone can still perceive the changes along the way.

The scenery along the way became more and more desolate: the unusually lush trees of the Starfall Forest were gone, replaced by dead trees that had fallen off their branches and leaves. As far as the eye can see, the bare dead trees in the field of vision make people feel cold, and the silence of the environment adds to the heavy pressure on everyone, as if there is an invisible giant mouth in front of the darkness to swallow everyone.

As the team progressed, the ground was no longer hard, but as black as scorched earth, as if the nutrients of the entire earth had been extracted. The originally silent environment was also a little louder at this time - the abnormal sound of the team stepping on the mud ground was like a bell ringing again and again, tense everyone's nerves. It should be a windless environment, but there is always the whining sound of the wind blowing from the dead trees, which squeezes the spirit of everyone little by little.

However, before everyone could fully adapt to the current environment, they ushered in a new challenge: the low temperature air pressure made everyone feel a chill in their hands and feet, and the armor, which had not felt the weight of the armor, became extremely heavy at the moment, and even the hands holding the sword and shield became a little numb and sore.

Du Ruan's gaze sharpened.

He glanced at Sean, and it was strange that Sean didn't remind him at this time, knowing that when they felt the pressure of the low temperature, it meant that they had entered the land of black soil. And within the confines of the Black Earth Land, the spirit will be eroded by the dark force all the time, and the will can easily be disintegrated without warning and attention.

At this moment of Durune's thoughts, the team happened to pass a dead tree, and a black shadow suddenly pounced out from behind the dead tree.

At the moment of seeing this black shadow, everyone in the team lost their minds for a moment, even if Du Ruan and Old Peter reacted quickly, but the trance of nearly a second just now was irreversible. By the time the two of them reacted, the black shadow had already found the leading Sean, and was only less than a centimeter away from him, and even if the speed of the two of them was too fast, it was too late to support.

But at this moment, a pale blue light suddenly swept out of Sean's hand.

Everyone only heard a slight "click", and the black shadow had already fallen next to Sean, and a skull fell from mid-air and slowly rolled to Durune's feet. Only then did everyone see that the black shadow that came out was actually a skeleton.

Sean slowly lowered the slashing sword, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Welcome to the world that belongs to darkness and death, the land of black earth. …… I have only one word of advice for you, be vigilant and keep an eye out for the shadows of your feet and dead trees, for that is where the enemy likes to stay the most. Trust your peers that someone will take care of you out of the corner of your eye, because we are a team. ”

At this moment, Du Ruan finally knew what Sean was not doing at the beginning, and reminded everyone at the beginning.

Because in many cases, actions are far more convincing than words.

As long as you glance at the current team, you can know that the spiritual influence originally brought by entering the land of black soil has disappeared without a trace at this moment, and it has been replaced by an elite team full of cohesion and vigilance!
