Chapter 205 Pit in the Sand
"Sand? I've been patrolling the Sunset Mountains for so long, and I've never seen any sand here. And you said the sand is still hot? How could it be!" Mom stretched out his hand and touched the sand, frowned even more: "Swear in the name of the dwarf, this is definitely not sand! It looks like it, it feels like it... Bah, and it even tastes like it. But the dwarf's bloodline will not be wrong, it is definitely not sand!"
"Maybe it was the feces in the monster's belly that kept warm under the ashes?" As soon as Ssina finished speaking, Mom waved her fist and told her to shut her mouth quickly.
Kelly waved his hand: "Feich, have you noticed anything other than the sand?"
Feiqi shook his head. The surface of the sand was covered with thick ashes, and the bottom was also ashes, so it was really possible that it was what Scina said, which was the remains of something in the monster's belly. Since no one had seen this five-color five-headed monster before, and there was no record in any book, it was not uncommon to find any abnormality on the monster.
"Maybe the monster has some unknown characteristic? No one can tell now. So should we stay here for a while for research or go to the Land of Light?"
It was obvious that everyone chose to continue moving forward. So everyone walked carefully on the ridge, supporting each other and jumped through the cracks, and continued to move forward in the snow blowing from the wind. At dusk that day, they finally arrived at their destination.
The bright red and blue light came from a valley, and shot from bottom to top. A light curtain formed on a ridge, blocking everyone. I stared at the light curtain directly and could not see anything in the valley. Although Feiqi was not affected by the light curtain without grasping the cat stick, there was nothing doubt in the valley. There was nothing but snow in the valley. The empty and quiet atmosphere gave Feiqi a strange feeling.
Ssina grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, squeezed it into a snowball and threw it into a red and blue light. The snowball flew directly over and fell into pieces in the opposite valley. "It took a long time to do it, but this turned out to be a luminous phenomenon?" Ssina shook her head and walked towards the light curtain. "Mom came over and saw if the rocks on the ground were glowing?"
"It's better not to just... forget it, just pretend I didn't say it." Feiqi wanted to stop it, but there was no problem with Scina passing through the light curtain. She went to the other side, and then squatted down to clean up the snow on the ground. The light source obviously came from under the snow, but why it could transmit and why the snow couldn't illuminate it, this is an unsolved mystery.
Everyone joined the work of shoveling snow and digging, and Feiqi continued to detect magic on the spot. He closed his eyes, carefully felt and analyzed the mana fluctuations and runes in the light, but after opening his eyes, he found that all the other four people were gone. Not only that, even the snow pit they had just dug was gone.
"Gilles Kelessina Mommy? Where are you? This is not funny!" Feiqi shook his hand vigorously, and a wave of fire formed and continued to advance, sweeping across the sides of the ridge. If there is something hidden, it should also appear under the rolling wave of fire. However, except for the snow turning into water and freezing into ice, no other phenomenon occurred.
"What did they do but I didn't do it?" Feiqi could not let his comrades disappear inexplicably, so he first armed himself with magic, then walked through the light curtain with his cat stick and dug it in the snow. His muscles were tight all over his body, and the entire area of Hawkeye meditation was vigilantly observing the surroundings. At this moment, he felt that the things around him began to twist, the white snow turned into yellow sand, and in an instant, he found himself suddenly appearing on a huge sand dune and began to slide down at a high speed.
The sand under his butt was thick and hot, and it kept hitting Feich's body like a hot knife. He quickly inserted his hand into the sand and slowed down, and heard the voice of Kerel coming from below: "Look, Feich is here too! Here, there is a solid ground here! Be careful to grasp the rope!"
Rope? Feiqi looked at it intently and found that there was a stone platform protruding from the dune slope about two hundred meters in the left front. Several people who had disappeared before were there. Giles held up a heavy crossbow, Keresse on a special crossbow arrow, and Ssina hung a rope. He heard a bang and buzzing sound, and the crossbow arrow flew over with a thin rope and inserted it under Feiqi to pass.
Sisina's hands were in a trumpet shape in front of her mouth, and she shouted loudly: "With your body tilting can change direction! If it doesn't work, grab the rope!"
For Feich, there is no need for ropes or tilting his body. He casts magic, drills out the earth element tentacles from the sand, then pulls him, hooks him, throws him in the direction of the platform, and can control speed.
"Come slowly, don't fall out." Mom stretched out his hand and grabbed Fitch. "Huha, at least we are still together. Obviously this is not our world anymore, don't you think it's, Fitch?"
It's indeed obvious.
Even after traveling to the seventh floor of Hell, Feiqi had to say that he had never seen such a strange place. From a near distance, the sand slope where everyone slid down appeared out of thin air from a thousand meters away, rolling down and disappearing into the rolling river water more than a thousand meters away. The river meandered forward, surging, turning up and down, turning left and right ignoring gravity. The river passed by river banks, some of which were above Feiqi's head, twisting and twisting, like a kaleidoscope.
"There is a closed space above the head. Except for the sand that doesn't know how it appears and disappears, the land and rivers are circulating. The only place that looks like an exit is this platform." Momm said, pointing behind him.
From the sand slope, this platform stands out. But from the platform, it is an exit of a tunnel to "explode" into the sand, but the ceiling is not obvious when it is covered by sand. The channel connecting the platform and it are spliced with huge square stones, covered with wind-eroded scars, and full of the vicissitudes of time. If you check carefully, you will find that there are many shell fragments crushed into fine slag in the stone. This is a very ancient "concrete brick", and similar technology was used in the construction of the pyramid.
The passage is dark and dark, turning to the right after more than fifty meters ahead. Bright light shines from the end of the passage, illuminating the corners, so everyone can see clearly. A relief that uses thick rings of different sizes to indicate eyes, mouth, ** and navels, and uses thin lines to outline the outline of the body is on the corner wall. Its hands are raised on both sides of its head, pointing to the other side of the corner, as if telling everyone that they should go there.
"Do you have any opinion?" Ssina asked Fitch, "Can your teleportation spell send us out?"
"No. I don't know where this place is, so there is no precise coordinate. If you force teleport, 70% of them may be lost in the teleportation process or die directly. It is best not to make that kind of attempt unless you have to." Feiqi stood on the platform, looked at the closed kaleidoscope area, then looked at the deep passage, and pondered for a moment. "Look at this point, I want us to walk through the passage. Uh, I think it's better for us to do the opposite."
Giles smiled slightly, and Cale nodded, "Hey, I taught well, right? Obviously Feiqi has not forgotten the way Monster Hunter acts. Where to come in, at least we must first see if we can go out the same way, so we all did not enter the passage. Can you use your dirt tentacles to go up against the sand slope?"
"It's not difficult." Feiqi raised the cat-hitting stick and gently tapped it on the ground, and the earth element tentacles stretched out from the sand. They formed two rows symmetrically, and then the corresponding tentacles on the left and right were low and entangled with each other, thus forming a continuous upward ladder. Feiqi took the lead and walked upwards with his hands and feet.
The surrounding sand kept sliding down, but the earth element tentacles remained motionless. Feiqi climbed while observing the situation here. He suddenly had an idea and asked, "Mom, are the sand and soil here real?"
"Wait, I haven't tried it yet." Mom stopped on the tentacle ladder, took off his gloves and reached into the soil. He immediately frowned, with an incredible expression on his face: "This is not sand, but it is the same as what you found in the remains of the monster!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly arose, and a strange sound of "Woo... Woo... Dong Dong Dong" came from all directions. "Damn, what the hell is this?" Mom threw away the sand in his hand and looked around: "I swear with the blood of the dwarf that there must be strange here!"
"Nonsense!" Ssina pulled out her weapon, just like everyone else. The dongdong dongdong sound continued, becoming louder and louder, as if it was getting closer and closer. The sound was erratic, and sometimes even sounded at the heart. Feiqi used the magic seal, giving divine grace and strengthening armor one by one, which also brought him to the middle of the team. At this moment, with a loud bang, a big hole suddenly exploded on the sand slope, and a group of ugly and weird little creatures jumped out from the fish inside. They were more than half a meter tall, with bare bodies, and were squeezed, and had fierce and thin eyes on their big heads. Their bodies were dry and thin, with powerful short legs and large flat feet that could walk freely on the sand. These guys had slender arms, holding sharp daggers with serrated teeth and claws to kill everyone on the ladder.
"Melee!" Giles pulled the crossbow bow behind him and drew out the long sword and the short sword. In an instant, there were about thirty little monsters that jumped out of the hole, and they were still coming out one after another. This overwhelming number would quickly consume all the crossbow arrows. So if you want to win, the possibility of using melee weapons would be higher.
"I'll do it first!" Feiqi waved the cat-teaser, and a wave of fire pushed towards the monsters and hit them head-on. The little monsters rushed out of the fire wave, covered in burns, howling and rolling on the sand slope, colliding with each other, rolling into a ball. However, more little monsters still rushed out and rushed directly to the fire wave, and then rushed over with the flames fiercely.
"Okay, Feichi, keep on lighting the fire! We'll cover you!"
After rushing through the barrier formed by the fire waves, the number of monsters dropped by more than half, and the monster hunters had raised their weapons to the earth element ladder to be on the ground. "Here is here! They are here!" Kailey shook his wrist, and his gun and sword were swung to the longest, and he swung his whole body with all his strength. The little monsters jumped and then installed the sword blades, which were cut off or severely injured. The red blood flew out, and the wailing sounds mixed with the crazy fighting shouts.
"Whole-domain vision improves the efficiency of movement!" Kailei waved his gun and sword while shouting for the monster hunter's battle precautions. "Breathe, pay attention to breathing! Advance and retreat are only three steps in the range! Be good at assisting, cover each other, and communicate with each other!"
While maintaining the Earth Element Tentacles, Fitch casts fire waves and provides mana for Hawkeye meditation and magic seals. If this continues, his combat efficiency will not take long, and the magic transformation will cause flaws. He quickly used his brain, then extinguished the fire waves, saving mana to invest in the Earth Element bondage spell.
"Start!" Feiqi raised his hand suddenly, and ten earth element tentacles stretched out from the sand pit where the monsters were drilled out. "Fold!" He then shouted, and the tentacles began to slap the sand on the edge of the passage, and a large amount of sand poured into the cave, blocking all the little monsters inside.
"Good job, Feiqi!" Mom just praised him when he heard Boom explode two consecutive times. It was the same big hole, and there were countless little monsters. This time one hole was above and one hole was on the other side of the rope ladder. Ssina chopped over the two little monsters with a scimitar, and roared at Mom: "Shut up, you guy! I'm in luck as soon as you open your mouth!"
"What does this have to do with me?" Mom just muttered, and then heard another explosion. This time it was not many little monsters, but a huge guy, an enlarged version of the little monster, at least three meters high, with pale skin wrapped around a strong body, and a thick and short neck with an ugly head full of scars. Its whole body was covered with black chain mail from head to toe. The little monsters gathered and squeezed behind him to make it show its power. It waved a huge spear in its hand, its tongue was bright red, and its eyes were as dark as black charcoal. Feich glared over, and it glared back without being outdone, which aroused Feich's great interest.
So, Feiqi pulled out the pit sword with his left hand, and then flipped his wrist to make it longer, and at the same time began to exert the long-range ability of the Demon. The Demon's weapons were directly created using the power of hell, including their arrows. On the battlefield of hell, the Demon's arrows were infinite, and after leaving hell, the arrows were related to their mana, but they were still of good quality and low price. Feiqi swung the Divine Sword, and a thunder shot out, instantly hitting the eyes of the huge monster. Red blood and other gray-white liquid flowed down. The monster covered his face in pain, then let out a roar, and threw the spear in his hand at Feiqi.
Only one eye seriously affected the accurate head, and Fitch didn't need to dodge at all. His spear was so crooked that it was unbearable to look at it. However, this action seemed to suddenly inspire the little monsters, chirping, and then threw daggers at everyone.
"Wind Dragon!" Giles suddenly raised his left hand and activated his magic seal. A wind wall suddenly appeared, surrounding everyone, and the air flowed down. The daggers flying from all directions quickly landed in the strong wind, and even those who could fly over became crooked. Everyone used the weapons in their hands to block the sporadic daggers, and then continued to kill the little monsters close to him.
Feiqi threw out another lightning bolt, the next one, and the next one, continuously! His lightning bolts were not very powerful, but they were fast and accurate, and the consumption was extremely low. He estimated that he could fire like this all day. He tried to increase his mana, and he could indeed shoot more powerful lightning, but the cost-effectiveness was not as good as using lightning magic directly. Therefore, the most suitable one was the super labor-saving small lightning bolt.
Without exception, these lightning hit the big monster, and it carried it all down with its thick skin and flesh, and was injured, and its chain armor and flesh were ragged. Since the weapon in its hand had been thrown away by itself, the monster made a crazy move in a rage: it treated itself as a siege car, rushed down from the high slope, and prepared to hit it all the way along the earth element rope ladder!
Feiqi suddenly put a greasy technique on the place where it stepped on.
The monster slipped, rolled to the side, and then rolled down the sand slope with screams, bringing waves of smoke and dust. Kelle let out a sigh. He was about to use his guns and swords as a counter-charge spear, but now it seems that there is no need. "Good job, Fitch!"
Before Mom finished speaking, even before Ssina could take time to glare at him, more explosions appeared. This time, not only on the sand slope, but also other places in this strange space, there were open holes everywhere, and there were small monsters and giant monsters everywhere, and the number was endless. Seeing this, Mom immediately closed his mouth and bit his upper and lower lips with his teeth, indicating that he would never speak anymore.
"Retreat! Go to the cave immediately!" Kaile waved his hand and everyone began to rush down the earth element ladder. Obviously, the number of monsters had seriously exceeded everyone's ability to deal with it. Even as long as they threw out the weapons in their hands, a covered rain of blades would form, and everyone except Feiqi would die.
Even if you fight hard, you must run fast. Use your mobility to maintain distance and use long-range attacks. This is the biggest feature of the Eagle School. When it comes to retreating, everyone will never be interested in fighting and jump on the earth element ladder at the fastest speed.
The monsters swarmed up and tried to close to the center like a tide. Mom raised his seal and slapped it on the ground. Although he wanted to shout out the name of the move, he held it back! He could only hear the rumbling sounds constantly sounding on both sides of the stairs, as if two rows of mines were detonated. Many small monsters were blown up, and there were screaming everywhere.
"Ten Thousand Needles!" The Ssina magic seal flashed, and the tiny objects around her were attracted - in this scene were countless sand - and then suddenly fired out, like a rain of flowers, and a sandstorm, directly blasting a death channel directly in front of her. Feiqi immediately shot out two thick lightning bolts, consolidating the space just cleared, at least they would not be blocked outside the tunnel.
"Take! Throw them to death!" The imbalance was caused by greasy techniques, causing the big monsters rolling on the sand slope to appear again. It seemed to rush down the slope and then go directly to the top of the sand slope. Its hatred for Feich was the strongest, and while trying to restore his body balance, he issued an order. The little monsters immediately began to throw, and even the big monsters joined in. The daggers were mixed with spears, colliding in the air, drawing strange arcs, and flew towards the group.
"Protect your head, depending on luck, stopping will die!" Kelly rushed to the platform first, but he did not go in, but danced the super long gun sword, constantly blocking the throwing weapons flying over. Ssina was the second one. She did not use the gun sword, so there was not such a large blocking range, but she did not go in directly. At this time, she could not feel sorry for the consumption of weapons. Ssina grabbed the collar and pulled her clothes down and exposed the dense flying knives on the inner side of the leather armor, the outer side of the underwear, and the belt. Any enemy who dared to approach would have a flying knives to serve him, so that Kelly could concentrate on blocking the rain of daggers at the entrance of the cave.
Giles was the third one. He jumped in without saying a word, squinted his eyes and looked at the situation, and then silently took off the heavy crossbow. He now regretted leaving the bridge outside, but he had already confirmed that there was no need to build another bridge, so it was necessary to reduce the load.
He opened the magic seal. Giles' magic seal had no attack power and was used to assist aiming. His target was the giant monster leader. Shooting from the inside of the hole not only requires considering the enemy's next move, the influence of wind and gravity, but also considering allowing the crossbow arrow to pass through the rotating gun sword formation. This requires complex calculations, and at the same time, you must have a deep understanding of your companions' attacking habits.
Then everyone heard a "buzzing" sound, and Giles took action. The first strike hit the enemy's eyes, and it was completely lost. However, Giles frowned and expressed dissatisfaction when he looked at the dead enemy. The strange environment outside caused strange gravity, which made his crossbow more difficult to control than usual - he was aiming at the other eye. However, he quickly made adjustments, and still shot the eyes or the eyebrows, in short, he was getting closer and closer to the position he aimed at.
As the three people arrived at the cave platform, the pressure outside increased sharply. A dagger finally broke through the armor protection strengthened by the Luli Army and hit Momm's ankle, causing him to fall directly from the earth element ladder. The sliding sand slope led him to rush towards a large group of enemies. The group of monsters raised their daggers one after another, and the end of the dismemberment of Momm would be the result of a random sword. At this time, a Qi element rope grabbed Momm, and then Fitch stood on the ladder and threw him towards the platform.
Feiqi stopped for less than two seconds and was hit by dozens of attacks on his body - the hit rate of these monsters hitting fixed targets at least dozens of times that of mobile targets! Momm let out a scream, and he almost foresaw the next scene that Feiqi fell to the ground seriously injured and then was flooded by the enemy. As a result, Feiqi just shook his body, threw away most of the daggers and spears, and had several enemy weapons hanging on him, and just kept rushing down like nothing happened.
Momm was pulled by Giles and then threw it into the passage. "Treat!" Giles was still pampering his words and picked up the heavy crossbow and shot again. A few seconds later, Feiqi finally rushed in. He immediately knocked on the ground with a teasing rod, and the earth element tentacles stretched out from each edge of the hole to the middle, as if closing the door. At the same time, countless sand fell from above and covered the hole with the tentacles. Only two spears passed through the sand curtain, but there was no force. The monsters were digging hard outside, but the earth element tentacles kept carrying the sand over, and they had time to work.
"Fech, are you okay?" Ssina asked hurriedly: "I saw you hit a lot!"
"It's okay, my armor is good, they haven't penetrated it. And I have good character, but no one hits me in the head." Feiqi explained with a smile. In fact, those weapons penetrated his bear coat. After all, this is just a clothes, not armor. But his wings are inside, and his defense ability is stronger than the armor of the whole body, and ordinary weapons can't be worn at all.
Chapter completed!
