Chapter 13: The Misty Ruins
The three figures didn't search for any more traces this time, because the two figures climbing halfway up the mountain were simply obvious targets, and they just glanced at each other, and then rushed quickly in the direction where they were.
But Rod wasn't slow either.
His figure flashed, and he slid diagonally down the mountainside, accompanied by a loud whistle, and the soul bird that had been flying and hovering in the sky also seemed to have received some kind of command and flew down. Rushed to the three men in black.
βββοΌοΌβ
In the face of the sudden attack of the soul bird, the three men in black did not panic, they quickly set up a formation to meet the attack, one of them waved the double sword in his hand and rushed forward, while the other two continued to pounce in the direction of Lijie and Mace. It is clear that they have a clear division of labor and are very professional. They won't stop their steps for this little entanglement.,If the other party is really just an ordinary bird.,It's really impossible to stop them.γ
Unfortunately, it's not an entity.
Facing the cold blade, the turquoise bird had no intention of dodging, but directly met it. There was a hint of joy in the eyes of the man in black who saw this scene, but in the next moment, his expression changed to horrorβββ because the man in black clearly saw that the green bird actually penetrated the blade of the sword and pounced straight towards him!
Elemental creatures!
The man in black was shocked, he hurriedly and forcibly twisted his body, which was able to avoid the other party's attack, but even so, the soul bird still passed through his shoulder, and the man in black only felt that half of his body seemed to fall into the ice kiln in an instant and half lost consciousness, and the body that was still trying to maintain balance was stagnant in mid-air, and then fell to the ground heavily, and even the short sword in his hand flew out.
And the other two weren't much better, neither of them bothered when the soul bird passed by them. But soon, a bone-chilling wind followed, blowing through their bodies. The two of them only felt that their bodies became numb and stiff in an instant, and they had to stop.
Although the strange discomfort quickly dissipated, because of the delay of a few seconds, Lizzie and Mace had already reached the location of the white stone. Seeing this scene, the man in black at the head frowned, he made a gesture, and then took out a short crossbow from his waist.
"Fa, what's going on!"
The fat merchant who was already tired and paralyzed halfway up to the road stumbled to the side of the white stone under the guidance of Lijie, he held the stone wall next to him with one hand and gasped, but before he could complain a few more words, suddenly several black shadows brushed past the fat merchant and shot on the stone wall on the side.
"Wow!"
Mace hurriedly squatted down with her head in her hands, and Lijie also subconsciously shrank her body, and at the same time, she didn't forget to pull the fat merchant and push him into the shadows to avoid another attack.
"We've got to hurry."
At this moment, Rhodes also appeared after him, he glanced at the three dark shadows not far from the bottom of the mountain, and spoke.
"He, who are they! What happened! Why do you want to attack us? β
"Probably an agent."
Although the distance is not too far, but because of the sunny weather, Rod still got a glimpse of the standard outfit of the spy on them, and most of the spy outfits of the countries under the protection of the dragon soul of light are similar, as for which country these people come from, we can only know the way after killing them. However, the current Rhodes does not have such strength, and it can be seen from the fact that even the special ability of the soul bird can only freeze them for a few seconds, not that these people's resistance to soul elemental attacks is too high, but because their level is too low, they can't achieve better attack effects.
It doesn't help to stay long.
"As for why they want to attack us, I think you can ask yourself, maybe they will tell you before you die."
Although Rod told a rare joke, but the fat merchant couldn't laugh at it, as a businessman who had been doing business abroad for many years, of course he knew that those spies were not easy to mess with. What would happen if it fell into their hands, and the fat merchant was already pale and sweating profusely at the thought of the not-so-rosy rumors that had been circulating among his peers. So although his legs and stomach trembled, he managed to stand up and follow Rhodes towards the path hidden behind the white stones. β¦,
The Zenar Hill Road was once a glorious trade route, wide enough for two carriages to move side by side. However, it is now completely abandoned, and all kinds of rocks that have fallen from the cliffs on both sides have piled up in the road, turning the once wide road into a bumpy and extremely narrow road. The three of them stumbled forward, but they didn't dare to stop. Rhodes looked back from time to time, but the situation did not improve - the footsteps of the pursuit behind had become clearer and clearer, if it weren't for the terrain restrictions here, I am afraid that he and the others would have been surrounded long ago.
"Mr. Rhodes! No way! β
Lijie's exclamation made Rod turn his head, and sure enough, the mountain road not far in front of him had been completely blocked by rolling stones, and it was impossible to climb over or penetrate at all.
And so it was.
Rod shook his head slightly, he originally thought that the game was doing this to force the player to follow the route set by the system, but now it doesn't seem to be the caseβββ it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not his original purpose.
"Go to the right."
"Right?"
Hearing Rod's order, both of them were stunned, and they invariably turned their eyes to the path on the right, but they couldn't help but hesitate a little more in their steps.
Although the main road is blocked, there is still a small road nearby, and the most strange thing is that it is obviously a clear sky, but in that road, it is a thick fog, and the sunlight passes through the thick fog, bringing an even more eerie atmosphere. Just looking there makes one think there's something strange in it, and now, Rhodes actually wants them to go in there?
"Hurry up, it's too late."
However, at Rod's urging, the two quickly walked into the fog, and soon, their figures were completely obscured by the dense fog and disappeared.
Seeing the two of them enter it, Rod also breathed a sigh of relief, he looked back at the back again, and then stretched out his right hand.
βCageοΌβ
The card that appeared in the center of his palm turned from blue to white, and then the snow-white blade reappeared, and then, Rod clenched his long sword and threw it towards the cliff.
Blades of light flew out of the sword, striking the crumbling boulder above the cliff, and soon, with a loud roar, the shattered rock tumbled down with dust. When the three men in black chased after him, Rhodes's figure had already disappeared into the depths of the fog under the cover of smoke and rubble.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the wolf-like mountain road in front of him, a man in black gritted his teeth and complained. The road ahead has been completely blocked by gravel and is completely impassable. Not to mention that Rod's sword also triggered a chain reaction, and now the cliffs on both sides of the entire mountain road are trembling, and it may be even more dangerous to walk hard.
"What should I do?"
"There's no way."
Another man in black stared at the mountain road that had been completely sealed.
"I had to go back and report to the captain, and send someone to monitor all the villages and towns around the vicinity, they must have wanted to leave from behind, but I really didn't expect that these guys really have a set."
"Elemental creatures, are there mages among them?"
"If it's really a mage, then it's not surprising, but from what we've observed, it doesn't seem like there are any mages among them."
Just as the two men in black were exchanging opinions, another man in black, who had been silent all along, staring at the traces on the mountain wall, spoke.
"There's a pretty strong swordsman among them."
After saying this, the man in black turned his head.
"Let's go, these three goals are indeed not simple, but we are not without defeat, send the order to go down, immediately monitor the surrounding villages and towns, I believe they can't stay in the mountains all the time and not come out."
For Rhodes and others, the danger has not been lifted.
"It's ......... Where? β
The fat merchant stared blankly at everything in front of him, he thought that he had seen everything after so many years of traveling south and north, but what happened in the past few days told him that there were many things in this world that he didn't know.
After passing through the thick fog, what appeared in front of everyone was a deserted, abandoned town, and the whole town was wrapped in a thick fog, and almost everything was blurred. Even if you look up at the sky, you can only see a gray patch. It was completely gone, and the entire world was dim, as if it were a completely different plane.
"This is the ruins of the mist."
Rode, who came from behind, replied casually.
"Just by passing through here, we can get to the Arajaq Pass, and then we will be able to leave."
"But, here......... Is it dangerous? β
As long as they are not blind, no one will think that this place is peaceful.
"Of course there is danger."
Rhodes didn't make it completely clear, the misty ruins in the game is the first ten-level five-person dungeon in the game, and it is also the player's first dungeon, it is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say. But it's very troublesome for the three of them, after all, Rhodes is only level eight, and Lijie is only level six, and the merchant with a combat power of only five is not counted in it at all, so in the end, this is actually an eighth-level summoning swordsman and an auxiliary profession with a single-brush ten-level five-person bookβββ which will definitely be regarded as an idiot in the game.
Rod is not an idiot, in fact, he also thought of this risky way after seeing Lijie, otherwise, Rod would not have chosen this pathβββ and in fact, this path is the safest now.
If you compare it by the probability of danger.
"But as long as you follow my orders, there won't be much risk. So ............"
Saying this, Rod turned his head and looked at the blonde girl next to him.
"Lijie, it's up to you here."
