137. Roadblock
The cold wind in the middle of the night is particularly cold.
Even if it was a house with a courtyard wall, in this damn ghost weather, there were still people who couldn't help but murmur about complaints. And with the full arrival of winter, this situation will worsen, and the weather will naturally be even more cold and cold.
And for the indoor environment is so cold, then let alone the outdoor situation.
As long as they are not strong in the Holy Realm, they cannot completely resist the influence from nature, so the cold and heat are still a threat to most strong people.
Especially for elves.
Perhaps the situation of the dark elves and blood elves living in the underworld would be slightly better, but the cold has always been a place they have tried to avoid for several elven races living on the surface. The situation of the Highland Elves is better, after all, the temperature in the Highlands is slightly cooler than in other places, but in the cold season, even the Highlanders will try to avoid outdoor activities.
But at the moment, there is probably no such option.
Whether it was Vinia or Marton, the two Highland elves looked a little trembling at the moment. On the one hand, it is because of the effect of the cold, and on the other hand, it is also because of the increasing erosion of the abyssal toxins in their bodies.
The changes brought about by reality are more real and delicate than Sean can imagine.
In the game, the impact of the Abyss Toxin on the player is not particularly large, even if the poison is deep, it can be cured and healed quickly, not to mention that there are various special potions that can be used to resist the Abyss Toxin. But for NPCs, the Abyss Toxin is not something that can be easily defended. If you want to get a complete cure, you must find the priest of the Church of Life to deal with it.
Therefore, in the history of the Miracle Continent, the expeditions against the abyss have always been high-level counterparts of the Living Church.
But that's just the original introduction to the game.
In this real world. The situation has become much different. For the natives of this world, the abyssal toxin is not only a stubborn disease that cannot be quickly cured, but it also constantly erodes the body of the poisoned. So if Vinia and Marton could still maintain six or seven percent of their combat strength before, then now they are only about fifty percent, and the situation continues to worsen.
So much so that these two elves had to stay on the back of the black stone for a long time to rest at this time.
Luckily for you. They hadn't encountered anything for the whole day since they had dealt with the enemies last night, which allowed both Vinia and Marton to get a better rest. And Rena. Although the influence of the abyssal toxin on her was not as deep as that of Vinia and Marton, it still had some effect, at least to restore the combat power of Fù in its heyday, it was obviously impossible before returning to the territory.
Marshmallow for their long resting place was occupied. I feel some dissatisfaction. Of course, the more upset was that Cecilia was not by his side. But just as Rena and Blackstone have a contractual bond, Marshmallow and Cecilia also have a contractual bond, so he can feel Cecilia's position, so in this special team, Marshmallow is responsible for leading the way.
Although the road ahead was a little difficult, no one chose to give up.
At this time, Rena and the others were walking on a small path.
This long-abandoned trail was once used as a road for transporting mineral resources, but when the mining resources were exhausted more than a decade ago. The stronghold built around the mine was removed, and the trail became desolate due to the loss of renovation. Even rugged because of weathering. It is only possible to find a record of this trail in the map of the territory of the Finlistin family more than ten years ago.
The reason why Rena and the others went here was due to the fact that the Void Realm, under Hela's order, had drawn the entire terrain of the entire Duchy of Lane half a year in advance. And this time, because the path route was negotiated by Hela and William, they all remember very clearly what trails they had to pass through or what kind of hiding they could provide, whether it was Sean or Rena and others.
In the event of a desperate situation, it is possible to leave this trail and reach the River of Green Springs a day earlier than originally planned.
And the River of Green Springs is the meeting point that Rena and Sean and others have agreed to.
If nothing happens, they will arrive at the River of Green Springs by noon tomorrow, and then they will be able to wait for the Scarlet Knights to come to their rescue.
Of course, the premise of this qiē is that there are no accidents.
The marshmallow who led the way didn't have the slightest intention of stopping to rest, so Rena and the others naturally didn't want to stop. It's just that I don't know why, half an hour ago, Rena noticed that Marshmallow seemed to be a little anxious, which mainly showed that Xiàn was obviously more eager than before in his actions, and this kind of look she had never seen before, at least in the past two days.
As a result, Rena keenly sensed that something was wrong.
The marshmallow suddenly stopped, turned abruptly, her whole body tensed, the hair on her body almost stood upside down, and she let out a roar towards the darkness in the distance.
With the strength of marshmallows, it is just a demonic beast equivalent to the strength of the human Bronze Realm. A magical beast like this may be a big trouble for the people of the Bronze Realm, even if it is a big trouble for the lower level of silver, but for the masters and powerhouses of the upper level of silver or even the Golden Realm, the marshmallow is not the slightest threat, and even if it wants to kill, it seems to be easy.
It's just that even if there is only the Bronze Realm, Marshmallow's sense of smell and hearing is still not comparable to ordinary people, or ordinary magical beasts.
Seeing Marshmallow's vigilant look, just like last night when facing the sneak attack of Donkey Kong, the Beast, Penrose and others, Rena immediately realized that there was an enemy in ambush in front of her left. And the two who also discovered this anomaly were Vigna and Marton. Although the two of them looked a little tired, they also knew which was more important at this moment, and immediately jumped off Heishi's body without the slightest hesitation. Ready for battle.
Even the black stone showed a hideous roar.
When Rena and the others were ready to fight, two figures slowly walked out in the darkness.
A middle-aged man on the right, nearly two meters tall, but he doesn't have that particularly burly feeling, he seems to be a little thin, but the aura emanating from his body. But it made the three people present, including Rena, dare not act rashly.
If Rena is in her heyday, she thinks that it is still unknown who will kill her, and it is not a problem to force her opponent to fight to a draw. But now. Rena's eyebrows were furrowed, she knew that the other party had locked the qi machine on her, so any move she made at this time was likely to cause a stormy attack in an instant. And that's exactly what Rena wants to avoid at this time.
As for the one on the left. Rena, however, recognized.
This is a short man who is less than 1.6 meters tall - in a place like the Miracle Continent, where the height is generally 1.7 meters or even more than 1.8 meters, the height of 1.6 meters is no different from those dwarves who are taller. However, it was this skinny and even obscene guy who made Rena and the others feel unusually tricky yesterday, and even Marton and Vinya gave up fighting him.
Because this man is a beast.
So when they saw the beast appear here, Rena and the others suddenly understood why the other party was able to find them. Because last night, this lewd man named Beast showed his amazing talent for tracking and pursuit, and no matter how Rena and the others acted, they couldn't get rid of this man. That's why in the end it led to that massacre. It's just that during the massacre against the Gray Wolf Blade's troops, Rena and the others also exhausted almost a bit of their strength. Even if I have carried out some physical recovery on and off along the way today, but in this situation of physical and mental exhaustion, the recovery I can get is naturally limited.
The thin man glanced at Vinia and Marton, then returned his gaze to Rena's and said in a deep voice, "My name is Ferns. ”
Ferns's voice was a little hoarse, but it wasn't the kind of deep voice full of magnetism, it sounded more like the kind of hoarse that the vocal cords had been damaged. It's just that in this kind of hustleness, there is a unique temperament that is concise and capable, and this almost idiosyncratic character is simply clear at a glance.
And Rena, when she heard the words "Ferns", her brow furrowed even tighter.
Unlike Vinia and Marton, Rena, as one of Sean's earliest followers and a core member of Sean's command, is well aware of the hostile characters in the major families that need to be paid attention to. And Ferns of the Finlistin family is undoubtedly one of these key lists, it is said that he has been stuck at the peak of the upper gold for ten years, and he is only one last kick away from breaking through the holy realm, so the accumulated combat experience and momentum are naturally incompetent.
At least, during the period of the Duchy of Lane, among the invincible powerhouses under the Sanctuary, Ferns could definitely be regarded as one.
"You don't have any way back, surrender." Ferns said lightly, but the calmer his expression was, the more confident he became.
"You alone can't kill us." Rena said in a deep voice, although her current strength is only about seventy percent of what she was in her heyday, but with her momentum alone, she may not be much inferior to Ferns, not to mention Vinia and Marton, if these two people join forces, they are comparable to a high-ranking golden powerhouse.
"I really can't kill you." Instead of denying Rena's words, Ferns admitted it very frankly, "But what I need to do is not kill. Whether it's crushing you or pestering you, it's not difficult for me. …… If you were all in your heyday, then even I wouldn't dare to come here alone, but if you have been poisoned by the abyss, your strength must have suffered a big loss. ”
Hearing Ferns's words, Rena and the others' faces changed.
"You fought with a demon god in the royal capital, and this matter has spread throughout Lane, and all the holy domain powerhouses who participated in the war at that time were more or less infected with the abyss toxin, so I don't think you can get away with it." Ferns still said calmly, "Furthermore, based on the battle impressions reported by the beast after fighting you yesterday, we have concluded that you have been deeply corrupted by the abyss toxin, and the strength you can exert at this time is extremely limited. ”
"Yesterday, I really shouldn't have let you go." Rena looked at the beast, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said lightly, while looking at the beast looked more like looking at a dead man.
"It's too late to say anything." Ferns shook his head, "I just want to avoid unnecessary fights." …… So before I came, I had already informed all the troops and strong men in the vicinity who could be mobilized, and it was only a matter of time before they came over, and before that, it would be very easy for me and the beast to join forces to pursue or intercept you. …… Therefore, can I advise a few people not to waste their efforts? ”
"What if I say no?"
"What a pity, then." (To be continued......)
PS: I really want to reply in the book review section, but I don't know why, I can't speak. …… Hmm, what I want to say is that the sword I sold is the five aunts of telecommunications, and the details can be viewed on my Weibo, or send me a private message on Weibo to add my QQ query, if you are interested.
