There is a virgin forest that is uninhabited all the year round in the depths of a certain continent far away from the continent of Ishurgar. More than 90% of this virgin forest is covered by lush dense forests. Knowing how many miles of a huge gorge, when viewed from high above, this gorge is like a giant python, cutting off the forest on the east side.
This forest is called "Kalunku Forest" by people on this continent!
It is said that in the Karenku Forest, a primitive tribe lived in it a long time ago, and in the language of this primitive tribe, "Karunku" means death and nightmare.
The canyon in the forest on the east side is called the "Canyon of the Dead" by residents on the mainland. As the name suggests, only the undead can survive in this canyon.
Karenku Forest has a very long history. Because of this, countless rare and precious creatures and treasures have been bred in this forest. Therefore, Karenku Forest has always been filled with treasure hunters, mercenaries, and wandering wizards. There are places where taxis like to patronize.
of course.
At least 90% of these people will eventually be buried in the Karenku Forest.
Otherwise, Karenku can't be regarded as "desolate" all the year round, after all, the dead are not humans, but only "corpses".
But just today, Karenku Forest has come to a "distinctive guest".
Chrissy is a student of the Astilin Academy of Magic, and it is one of the very good grades, but compared to other outstanding students in the college, Chrissy's family background is not so outstanding.
is the so-called "civilian genius".
a week ago!
Chrissy’s mother was diagnosed with "Lalkasi disease", which is a disease of internal organ failure, which is almost incurable to ordinary doctors.
But if you use "magic" means, there is a glimmer of hope of healing.
However, the medicines needed to treat "Lalkasi's disease" are extremely expensive. At least in Kris's family situation, it is impossible to spend this amount of money.
Chrissy has thought of countless ways, and also asked several ‘pharmacists’, but the final result was disappointing.
Fortunately, Kris has a good relationship with the college tutor.
After Chrissy's pleading, the "Pharmacy Instructor" who taught Chrissy finally gave her a hint.
Ghost Flower!
This is a special potion that only grows under the cliffs of the "Gorge of the Dead". The "ghost flower" is the core material for refining the potion for the treatment of "Lalkasi's disease". Similarly, the reason why this potion is so precious, Most of the reason is also because of this potion.
If there is a "ghost flower", the pharmacist's cost of refining medicine can be greatly reduced, or even free.
After getting the news!
Kriss kept the word from everyone, and after spending money alone to ask a team of "mercenaries" to take him to the outskirts of Karenku Forest, she walked towards the "Dead Canyon" alone.
Although the "Gorge of the Dead" is located on the east side of the Karenku Forest, it is actually located closer to the depths of the forest, and because there are many strange and dangerous creatures living near the "Gorge of the Dead", even senior hunters and Sorcerers rarely come here to take risks.
This is also the reason why Chrissy just asked the "mercenary" to take her to the outer forest and stopped. If you want the "mercenary" to **** her all the way into the depths of the forest, it is not a matter of spending a little money.
Chrissy's magic level is not low.
At least this is the case in the Astidin School of Magic. Only the first grade of higher school has the level of A-level wizards. This kind of magical strength can be regarded as medium even among the students who are about to graduate from the third grade of higher school. Up to the standard.
However, in the Karenku Forest, this level of magic is nothing at all.
Just one day.
Chrissy has already experienced nearly 20 battles, big and small, and of these 20 battles, at least ten of them are when Chris just turned around and fled when she saw the enemy, and then the "enemy" chased and killed him. .
And in the other seven games, after a short fight, Chris turned and fled again.
Only three battles were won by Kris.
That was when Chrissy had just left the "mercenary" team and went on the road alone.
Just entering the Karenku Forest, Chrissy's mood was nervous with a hint of curiosity, so although she kept warning herself to be careful, but when Chris faced an ancient mud monster, she couldn't help but rise. There was a "desire to fight".
Then.
Chrissy thus began her first escape in her life.
Emmmm!
Don’t get me wrong, Chrissy was not chased by the "Gu Mud Monster". The "Gu Mud Monster" is just a kind of disgusting but actually completely harmless elf in the Karenku Forest, which really caused Chris to be chased. The reason for the killing was that when Chris was hitting (qi) and defeating (fu) the mud monster, she accidentally used her magic trick and disturbed the nearby pair of green-skinned gorillas who were about to create offspring.
In fact, with Kris's magic level, even if you face two blue-skinned gorillas, you will not necessarily lose. However, it is clear that the students taught by the Magic Academy have a high level of magic, but in terms of combat experience, they are relatively lacking. less.
After a day and night trek.
Kris's white-green school uniform has been stained with mud and various unknown strange liquids. The soft light blue hair is also stained with a lot of dust, dead grass and leaves, and it has become dry and knotted, white and delicate. Her face was painted with black charcoal and mud by herself, and the fragrance that originally belonged to a girl was also covered by a strange smell.
If we give Kris a broken bowl and throw her at the door of the Astilin Academy of Magic, I am afraid that many kind students will be willing to give Kris some help, and no one will believe it. "Beggar" will be the "Wind Spirit"-Kris!
Practice is always the best teacher.
This day and night, Kris grew extremely fast. Compared with before entering the Karenku Forest, Kris's strength improved extremely, at least in terms of "peek-a-boo" and "escape".
Since entering Karenku Forest, Chrissy has been fortunate to have learned the "Wind Magic" more than once. If it weren't for the "Wind Magic", she would have been buried in the belly of those monsters.
The main characteristics of wind magic are reflected in two aspects: agility and perception.
With the agile speed of "Wind Magic", Chrissy has escaped countless times, and the perception ability of Wind Magic has also helped her avoid the territory of several powerful monsters.
Only a small part of the "things" hanging on her body was accidentally touched by Kris, and most of them were added by Kris herself during her later journey.
Such as the sludge made by the corpse of the "old mud monster" on Chrissy's face, and the roaring bear dung glued to her robes.
This is a little trick Kris discovered during her journey.
Most monsters don't like "poop". The stronger the creature, the more so. When Kris coated herself with the dung of the howling bear, she found that the number of monsters attacking her was significantly reduced.
Even once, Chrissy discovered that she accidentally broke into the edge of a powerful monster's domain. The momentum of the monster had already erupted from a distance, but then, the momentum of the monster quickly disappeared. , It seems that I don’t want to set off for a special trip because of a small “feces”.
Besides.
As Chrissy stays in the Karenku Forest for longer, the more she realizes how deadly she wanted to "fight" at the beginning.
Maybe her magic is not bad in the academy, but here, her magic is not worth mentioning.
It’s not that Kriss can’t beat all the monsters here, but because there are too many monsters here. Once a strong fight breaks out here, I’m afraid it won’t even take five minutes, and at least ten will gather near Kriss. The above monsters, and the longer the delay, the more and more monsters...
In one of Chris’s three victorious battles, he spent four minutes killing a red-flavored wolf, and then attracted a total of seven monsters comparable to the strength of the B-level wizard to "watch". Then Kris spent 70% of her magic power consumption, and the price of a blow on her back, released the magic of the wind and escaped.
As for the last of the three victorious battles, Chrissy returned from hunting and hunting a low-level black swan monster. She originally planned to use it as dinner, but in the gloomy sky, Chrissy just raised the fire. Setting up the black swan barbecue attracted the prying of nearby monsters. As a last resort, Kris had to abandon the black swan and escape.
a full day and night.
Chris did not eat any food, but fortunately, "The Canyon of the Dead" has arrived.
Passing through the last layer of thorny jungle, Chrissy, who became even more embarrassed, finally came to the front of the "Canyon of the Dead". Seeing the silent gorge ahead of more than a kilometer wide, Chrissy's tired eyes finally showed a trace of excitement color.
"Finally...It's finally here!"
Although Chris has no idea how much ordeals she has gone through along the way, or even the threat of death, as long as she can get the "ghost flower", then everything is worth it.
As its name suggests, the "Gorge of the Dead" does not seem to be a place where life can be allowed to survive.
The edge of the canyon is a row of black ground. There are no plants living on the ground, only graceful rocks and a large number of animal skeletons. Some of these skeletons still have some rotten black meat hanging on them, but more skeletons have changed. It became a piece of white, half-buried on the ground, trembling slightly with the wind blowing underneath the "Gorge of the Dead".······
The bottom of the canyon is pitch black, even if you look down near the edge of the canyon, the field of view is not more than ten meters.
The growth area of the "ghost flower" is more than one hundred meters below the Canyon of the Dead.
Standing on the edge of the "Canyon of the Dead", Kris looked down with her probe, and then Kris could not help closing her eyes, staggering back a few steps, taking a few deep breaths, and barely stopping her trembling legs. .
Picking the "ghost flower" this mountain is not a difficult task, it just requires a little bit of luck.
The yin wind blowing up below the "Gorge of the Dead" is highly corrosive and can corrode objects such as ropes and iron chains in a very short time. Only a special kind of vine growing near the gorge has strong resistance to the yin wind , But it only slightly extended the corrosion time.
And the anti-corrosion time of each vine is different.
If the person picking the "ghost flower" does not climb up before the vines are corroded and broken, there is only one dead end.
"Huh~~" Chrissy let out a long sigh and comforted herself: "No problem, I can walk here from the outskirts of Kakurun Forest alone, which shows that my luck must be good."
Chrissy comforted herself, but what she didn't know was that 40% of the nine people who died in the "Karenku Forest" in the past died when they entered, and another 50% died on the way back. of.
Chrissy began to tie the vines to the boulder on the side. There are many traces of vines on the edge of the boulder, indicating that there are not many people who usually come to the "Gorge of the Dead", but now the "ghost flower" on the market is still there. It is an extremely scarce potion, which is enough to prove a lot of things.
These vines were chosen by the way when Chris came over. She was going to tie three vines to the boulder. This is the maximum number that the “stroke” under the boulder can get stuck, and most of them come here to pick the “ghost flower”. "People's choice.
In fact, the difference between the three vines and one vine is not very big. After all, the wind of the "Dead Canyon" will not corrode the vines one by one. In many cases, the two extra vines still cannot save much.
However, two more vines always give people a little more confidence.
Looking at the dark gorge below, Kris's breathing became slightly heavier, but when she wanted her mother, Kris suppressed this fear forcibly, and then imposed a magic circle on herself. Kris threw herself into the air. Jump, jumped out of the canyon.
With the blessing of the magic "dexterity" of the wind, Chrissy soon descended 100 meters below the canyon.
But just after she reached the destination, she saw a vine on her left suddenly fell under the canyon, and the vine broke.
This sudden scene immediately made Chrissy's eyelids jump. Although knowing that the gloomy wind of the canyon corrodes the vines extremely fast, the speed still scared Chrissy.
Before I could think about it, Kris quickly began to look for the "ghost flower" in the surroundings.
However, after a glance, there was no "ghost flower" around.
"Is it still down?"
Seeing the darkness below and the disappearing vines on the left, Chris was tangled for a second, and she still slid down another fifteen meters or so. Just when Chris was about to touch the bottom of the vines, suddenly, a The light black with a hint of transparent four-leaf flowers slowly came into Chris' eyes.
Hu~
A light breeze blew by, but at this moment, the vine on the right side of Chris was also broken and fell into the canyon.
Kris felt bad in her heart, but looking at the "ghost flower" right in front of her, Kris still exerted a slight force and swung her body in the direction of the "ghost flower". There was "wind magic". With the blessing of Chrissy, Chrissy's body is very dexterous, she came to the front of the "Ghost Flower" with a light swing, grabbed the "Ghost Flower", and Chrissy quickly began to climb up...
Chris is climbing very fast. She constantly releases the little magic power left in her body, and constantly urges the magic circle under her feet to exert force. In a blink of an eye, she has already climbed nearly a hundred metersSeeing the canyon The ground of Chris has appeared in front of her eyes, Chrissy’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she subconsciously stretched out a hand to grab the black soil on the ground, but at this moment...
Snapped!
The vine suddenly broke.
The sudden scene caused Kris's heart to jump suddenly, a puff of blood poured into her brain, indescribable blankness and fear rushed into her mind, and even made Kris lose her ability to think.
Then Kris watched as the ground of the canyon was getting further and further away from her. Kris wanted to call for help, but before she could open her mouth, an inexplicable weakness suddenly erupted from her body. In an instant, Kris Her sight was plunged into darkness, and her body fell like a broken kite...
At this moment, an unusually violent light suddenly burst out from the deepest part of the canyon, and rose rapidly, and then held Chrissy, leaving a light in the canyon, and quickly came to the ground.
"Huh? What is this?" A slightly puzzled voice came out from the light.
When the light dissipated, only a bright bald head and a horse-sized black and white unknown creature slowly appeared on the edge of the "Dead Canyon".
