Chapter 13

"The land of black earth?"

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

Cecilia and truen will know that Sean will not be surprised. Because the word "black earth" is handed down by magicians, and the kingdom of potoroa is a country dominated by magic, truun will know that "black earth" is not unusual.

"You know there is a land of black soil here. Why didn't you tell us at the beginning!" Durun suddenly looked like a grumpy beast. The elegance and etiquette of the aristocracy completely disappeared from him at this moment. "Do you know the danger of the black land!"

"I know." Sean said calmly, "remember what I told you? This is the forest of stars and meteorites, a place I know better than you. "

"You..." frightened by Sean's so calm momentum, truen didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What is the land of black earth?" Old Peter also frowned. At this moment, he noticed the panic and fear in Durun's heart.

The atmosphere became a little overcast and cold.

Fear began to breed in the crowd.

"Let's go first," he said as he walked along the road Instead of answering immediately, Sean urged everyone to get ready and set off immediately.

Although after the development and revolution of Shengshi, miracle has been improved to a great extent, especially in AI. However, there is still a big gap between the game and reality. At least in the game, Sean hasn't heard of anyone who will be treated so grandly by the wind grain black wolf group. Even if there is a "ethnic hatred" dubuff on him, he is far from strong enough to need the wind grain black wolf king to do it himself.

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

The team soon embarked on the journey again. It may be caused by the changes in the attitudes of Cecilia and truun. The whole team was in an extremely tense atmosphere. Sean knows that this will accelerate the physical and mental consumption of the team, but at this time, he has no time to take into account the psychological adjustment in this regard, because he himself must pay high attention to prevent any accidents that may occur.

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

Although Haley's body is a little fat, he has lost some weight in recent days. At the moment, although he is still panting when running, he can at least say a few words: "Mr. truen, in the end... The land of black earth... What is...?"

Truun's face struggled and his eyes fell on Sean's back: "that madman!"

But in the end, you can only sigh helplessly: "you should all know that when the ash age comes, the world will no longer have any light, and the order of the old era will completely collapse..."

Hearing Durun's words, Sean couldn't help thinking of the original official background setting of miracle.

At the end of the twilight era, the hatred of the people towards the gods was so great that it could not be repaired. Therefore, the people no longer believed in the gods, and the angry gods lowered the divine punishment, so the whole world became chaotic. Because they no longer believe in the gods, the people who have lost their divine power have to start to develop in other aspects. They begin to contact the field of elements, so they can use magical means without the help of divine power, which makes the gods feel panic and fear. Therefore, in order to re-establish the majesty of the gods, The gods finally launched a protracted war with the people.

It was a losing war called "twilight of the gods" by historians.

After the war, the gods no longer existed, but the people did not usher in their so-called ideal world. The alienation power left by the divine power and elements broke the order of the whole world, lost the protection of the gods, and the sky lost its color. Desolation and ruins became the most common scene in the whole world, just like the ashes left after the flame burned.

Because of this, this era is called the ash age.

"In the ash age, there is no light in the world, and even the air is turbid." Durun said in a deep voice, "but these are not the most terrible. What is really terrible is the ubiquitous dark forces in the world. Under the continuous invasion of these dark forces, any species will be deprived of life, and only some places in the world that still retain the power of residual order can survive. "

"These places are called the ark." Cecilia quietly took over truun's words, "the gods still didn't abandon the people after all. At the last moment of that war, the God of order may have realized something. He sacrificed himself at the end and turned himself into countless fire for recovery The reason why the ark can let all the people continue to live is that there is a recovery fire in the ark. Only the power of order generated by the recovery fire can resist the invasion of the dark forces. "

"Those places invaded by the dark forces are called the land of black earth." Durun glanced at Cecilia. His heart was also curious about Cecilia's identity. Of course, he was more amazed at her talent. "You don't know that the land of black earth is normal. After all, other places adjacent to the kingdom of Celian are rich land and powerful countries. But in fact, there are still many black earth places in the world. For example, if the kingdom of potoroa goes East, it will be the land of black earth. It is a place without light and heat, let alone food. "

"So just bury the recovery fire?"

"It's not as simple as you think." Cecilia shook her head. "Only at the dark vortex in the black land can the recovery fire be buried and the order in the black land be restored. In this world, there is an organization called the pioneer Association. Their duty is to find the fire for recovery, restore the black land to a place of order, and let people reclaim new land and build new homes. However, the land of black earth is also very dangerous, and according to the strength of the dark forces generated by the dark vortex, the dark forces on the land of black earth are also strong or weak Even we can go to some places where the dark forces are weak, and even the legendary strong dare not break in. "

At this point, Cecilia paused a little, and then said in an indisputable tone: "since Sean dares to bring us, it proves that this black land can be crossed by us alone However, even if we can pass, the danger of the black land is by no means something we can take lightly. "

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

Behind him, the wolves howled one after another, even mixed with a few louder roars.

Hearing these wolf howls, people couldn't help but rejoice that Sean's judgment was indeed accurate, and his fear of the black earth was not so strong.

Of course, the same is true of truun.

After all, as citizens of the kingdom of bodoroa, the vast majority of bodoroans have seen the land of black soil with their own eyes, so they naturally have a better understanding of the fear of this land. Truun's understanding of this land is even deeper than that of ordinary people in the kingdom of potoroa, because he is a pioneer officially registered by the pioneer Association and once had the experience of fighting in the black land.

This time, because we are on our way with all our strength and less harassment from Warcraft, the team's forward speed is a little faster than before.

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

The scenery along the way became more and more withered: the giant trees in the forest of stars and meteorites that had grown exceptionally lush disappeared and were replaced by withered trees whose branches and leaves had fallen. Looking around, the bare dead trees in the field of vision made people cold. Coupled with the silent environment, it increased the heavy pressure on the people, as if there was an invisible huge mouth in front of the dark to devour them.

With the advance of the team, the ground is no longer hard land, but dark mud like scorched earth, as if the nutrients of the whole earth have been extracted. It was a silent environment, and there was a little more noise at this time - the crackling and abnormal noise of the team stepping on the mud floor was like a life-threatening bell, which strained everyone's nerves. It should have been a windless environment, but there was always the whine of the wind blowing from the dead trees, squeezing the spirit of everyone a little.

However, before they fully adapted to the current environment, they ushered in a new challenge: the low-temperature air pressure made everyone feel a burst of cold hands and feet. The armor that had not felt the weight became extremely heavy at the moment, and even the hands holding the knife and shield became a little numb and sore.

Durun's eyes became sharp.

He glanced at Sean and wondered why Sean didn't remind him at this time. You know, when they feel the low-temperature air pressure, it means they enter the land of black earth. In the black land, the spirit will be eroded by the dark forces all the time. Without warning and attention, the will is easy to disintegrate.

At the moment when Durun was thinking, the team happened to pass by a dead tree, and a dark shadow rushed out from behind the dead tree.

At the moment of seeing the dark shadow, everyone in the team was distracted for a moment. Even though Durun and old Peter reacted quickly, the trance for nearly a second just now could not be reversed. When the two people reacted, the shadow had found the leader Sean, less than a centimeter away from him. Even if they were fast, they had no time to support.

But just then, a light blue brilliance suddenly swept out of Sean's hand.

The crowd only heard a slight sound of "click", and the dark shadow had fallen next to Sean. A skeleton fell from the air and slowly rolled to the feet of truen. By this time, the crowd could see that the shadow thrown out was actually a skeleton.

Sean slowly put down the long sword, looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "welcome to the world of darkness and death, the land of black earth I have only one piece of advice for you, keep enough vigilance, and pay attention to your feet and the shadow of dead trees, because that is the enemy's favorite place to stay. Believe your partner, someone will pay attention to you where you can't see from the corner of your eye, because we are a team. "

At this moment, truen finally knew why Sean didn't remind everyone at the beginning.

Because many times, practical action is far more persuasive than language.

As long as you take a look at the current team, you can know that the spiritual impact brought by entering the black land has disappeared without a trace. Instead, it is an elite team full of cohesion and vigilance!
