Chapter 43: Solitude in the Fog

(ps: It is finally over 25, tsk, sad and happy)

"Roar~~~~" The huge roar was like thunder, which made Lina and Freya's eardrums hurt, but the two girls didn't feel panic at all. Although this sound was huge, it was so familiar that it could be heard every day. This was Katherine's roar. This was the knight's use of fighting spirit to strengthen the vocal cords and chest cavity, and roared out the sound waves containing the fluctuations of fighting spirit, using the sound to interfere and kill the enemy with the sound. Sometimes, the knights also used it to use the sound to interfere with and kill the enemy.

This method achieves the effect of amplification and contacts the companions in the distance. Hearing the familiar roar, Lina urgently stopped the falling momentum, and Freya also stopped crawling with metal arthropods. The two girls squinted their eyes and searched carefully for a long time before they could identify a vague black shadow from the fog, waving towards them, through the noisy birds and flapping their wings around, Catherine's shout came vaguely: "Come on, swing on, swing on, I will catch you when I get to the position."

"Freya is coming down, too." Lina shouted hard, but she couldn't even hear clearly in the continuous attacks.

"Freya crawled along the cliff." Catherine used the battle cry again, but because the sentence was too long, the voice behind her was already hoarse. No matter how powerful the Knight girl was, she was still composed of *. Even after all, she was strengthened by the Dou Qi, her throat and vocal cords could not withstand too frequent roars, especially such long sentences. This is also the reason why the Knight's battle cry was very short in battle, as long as it could achieve the effect. In order to protect her body, the Knights would consciously compress the syllables of the battle cry. However, in this case, the Knight girl had no other way. She could only endure the pain of tearing the sound and use the battle cry to notify her companions not far away.

Hearing Catherine's instructions, Lina no longer worried about Freya, and began to sway back and forth to accumulate strength, and the rope swing became larger and larger. Although there were constant impacts and interference from birds along the way, most of the birds could have a place to use force to increase the swing amplitude. At the same time, Freya also re-controlled the mechanical arthropods and moved towards Catherine tightly against the rock wall. Since there was no longer the need to use crystal-energy guns to disperse the enemy, she had enough time to observe the surroundings. When the raptors pounced on the closest distance, she finally saw the birds.

"Bang bang", Lina knocked away several birds of prey around her and finally reached the location where Catherine's shadow was. Through the fog, she could see a vague ground there. She breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to let go and jump to the ground, she suddenly heard Catherine's huge roar again. The roar was already hoarse, but she could barely hear clearly: "Hurry up. Don't let go."

Hearing this voice, Lina's hands, which were about to release, immediately grabbed the climbing rope again, and her body shook on the rope for a while before stabilizing. However, she did not continue to swing back in the opposite direction under the action of gravity. A long whip had been wrapped around the rope above her at some point, and fixed her in the air. Without Catherine saying anything, Lina consciously slowly slid down the climbing rope until the distance was very close. She realized that Katherine was not at the position where the black shadow she had just seen was, but had appeared in front of her. When Lina stepped on the ground, Katherine didn't care about anything else and pushed Lina inward. The erect shield blocked the path directly in front and slapped several birds of prey chasing over.

"Stand against the wall." Catherine's defense was as tight as a city wall, and no one of the preys rushed towards the front could approach: "These birds need space to fly, and they cannot attack you against the rock wall. They can only attack from the front, so if you stand against the wall, you will be disturbed by them. But be careful on both sides and above, sometimes other wall-like monsters will crawl over the wall. Fortunately, there are not many, just pay attention."

Hearing Catherine's hoarse voice, Lina suddenly reacted, because there were no more birds of prey crying around her, and the normal volume conversation could be heard clearly. Lina looked around and asked curiously: "Sister, what happened just now? Why did I see you not here at that time?"

"The fog is weird," said Catherine. "It's like being in water, which will deflect the light and make us feel illusioned. That's it just now. There is a cliff where you swing over. If you let go, you fall down. In fact, we are all here."

"Is this sinister mist also a masterpiece of nature?" Lina said gritting her teeth: "I remember it."

As Katherine said, many small monsters rush up along the rock wall, and then approached the girls. However, since Lina had landed, her combat power was no longer limited. She waved her nail hammer and slapped the small monsters flying back one by one as if she was playing with a lightning ball. Vivian and Lina stood together without magic, and directly swung the staff, exerting the skill of hitting Freya's head, accurately knocking each small monster that pounced on the cliff.

"I finally got down." Soon, Freya also climbed over the rock wall in the direction of the rope. The descent of less than two hundred meters made her sweat: "No wonder Panis asked us to come down together. If we came down alone, we might not be able to hold on."

The girls were not surprised by Freya's sigh, because during the journey just now, everyone had the same feeling, hanging in the air, not seeing the sky above, not seeing the ground below, and there was a hazy around them, and nothing could be seen clearly. All they could hear was endless strange screams, and monsters were violently hitting themselves everywhere. Climbing in this environment, it felt that except for themselves, there were only monsters full of hostility in the world, and people could easily develop an excessive sense of despair and collapse. However, when the girls felt strange in their hearts, the friends around them would be familiar. Even if they could not see, hear, or touch them, the girls still knew that their companions were around them. This invisible dependence and support made the sense of despair and collapse disappear. The girls were silent for a moment, silently savoring the loneliness they felt before.

There were continuous bangs and impacts. However, it did not affect the girls who had stabilized. Behind Catherine, Ike squatted on the ground, tingling the alloy steel brazing into the ground. Try to prepare in advance for the next speed drop.

"Here you come." Catherine suddenly said, and then she saw a figure slid down the rope not far away, and it was as fast as if it was falling down directly. However, when she arrived at the position near the platform, the person on the rope suddenly stopped and stopped in place to listen. Before Catherine could have time to yell, she jumped and landed on the platform accurately.

"I'm glad everyone is safe." Panis started to retract the rope as soon as he landed. He pulled down from above, and Ike took the other end of the rope and started to penetrate the newly nailed alloy rod. The two of them were very fast and were unwilling to waste a second of the time. Panis said while pulling the rope down, "There is no time to rest. Be prepared to continue to move downwards immediately. This time you can pass through the fog layer, and you will be safe at that time."

"How thick is the fog layer?" Catherine asked, "Can you see the fourth transit station immediately after passing through it?"

"It's about a hundred meters." The answerer was Eke: "Then you'll drop by about two hundred meters before you can get to the fourth transit station. But don't worry, after passing through the fog layer, there will basically be no creatures to attack us. The birds in the Earth Trace are very strange. They either fly at a low altitude and have a maximum height of less than two hundred meters, or they live in the clouds and nest on the rock walls in the clouds."

"Yeah?" Catherine was stunned: "What strange habit is this?"

"Only God knows." Ike murmured and said loudly: "Since everyone can get here safely, there will be no problem with the remaining half of the way. I'll wait for you below. After leaving the clouds, the vision is very good, and you can see me directly."

"Remember, grab the rope." Before Catherine descended, Panis suddenly said inexplicably. He said this sentence at the second transfer station, but there was a clear difference between the two times. When I said it last time, I could easily hear the worries and reminders in the words, but this time I said it, with a strong teasing smile: "Well, but there should be no problem for you, there is no need to remind you, it is not certain for others."

"What does it mean?" Catherine asked strangely, "I always think you're very strange. What's underneath?"

"You will know if you go down." Panis smiled subtly, knowing that Catherine couldn't see it: "When I first saw it, I was stunned for five minutes. I hope you lasted a little shorter than me, hehehehe."

"It's so hateful to pretend to be mysterious. I'm not Lina." Catherine curled her lips, jumped out of the rocks that were used as a transfer station on her back, and disappeared into the thick fog again.

"Pennis, I have a question to ask you." The enemies around were still rushing violently, but because everyone was leaning against the rock wall, there were only some small monsters on the rock. The large raptors flying in the fog dared not approach the rock wall at high speed, so they could only circle not far away without giving up. While waiting for Catherine to descend, Freya asked: "Have you carefully observed the birds in the fog?"

"Did you see?" Panis chuckled a few times and said, "Yes, I have observed carefully. Those who are probably not birds at all. But now I don't have time to explain in detail. Let's talk about it when I get to the ground and have time. Now I will focus on the speed down first."

"Okay." Freya sighed and said, "I'm very worried now. What should I do when I go up? Do you really have to climb up and tie the rope?"
