In the dense fog-shrouded border city, amazing magic shreds the silence under the night. Fire, frost, thunder, arcane missiles, these powerful spells, bombard the rear like a small army with saturated firepower. The ramp, and in the successive explosions, those tall and thin "messengers" and the "shadow residents" filled with black smoke in their bodies were torn apart again and again, and reappeared again and again.
Modil Wilde's powerful magic can destroy houses and burn all the streets, but for these strange enemies... it seems that it can only be temporarily dispelled.
"Can we only run all the way like this?" Sparrow was finally unable to help but yelled loudly, "Why don't the enemies who are catching up from behind seem to be reduced at all!?"
"Shadow residents are like this! The'entity' they show is not an entity at all. They are just projections formed in the shadow environment. Usually attacks can only cause'interference' to them," Modil ran and didn't look back. Said loudly, his physical strength shocked the two operators, "It takes a very complicated method to completely solve the shadow dwellers, but I can only run without the casting materials!"
"When will it go?!" Ye Xiao asked loudly. He looked at the road extending in the distant fog. After the ramp, there are streets and lanes, and there are ramps after the streets. This border city seems to have no The end is average, the boundless thick fog and the unkillable enemies made him feel a little desperate, "Is there no end?"
"You should be able to leave their hunting area in a while. Shadow dwellers will not chase the enemy indefinitely. They have their own fixed range of activity and wandering'targets'. No matter what happens, they will not deviate too far from this area. Modil responded loudly, "You believe me, I have experience in this area! Although I don't know where the experience comes from!"
Sparrow amp; Ye Xiao: "..."
This powerful mage with a legendary name and outstanding status will definitely leave an unforgettable impression on them tonight. The two senior cadres never expected that the first time they met such a big man in their lives would be in this way. Under the circumstances, a group of monsters breeding in the shadows ran for half of the city, and the legendary adventurer also wore a pajamas and nightcap with broken flowers leading the way...
The Sparrow couldn't help thinking, even if this is an absurd dream, it would be far beyond her imagination to this point...
And this kind of running didn't know how long it lasted, she suddenly found that the terrifying figures that were constantly approaching and emerging behind her had diminished.
This is the first time those weird "shadow creatures" have been reduced since the encounter between the two sides.
As if to confirm Modil Wild’s "experience", when the three of them finally ran to the fringe block of the southeast city, and finally saw the end of the street in the mist, those chasing after and unable to fight The undead enemies seemed to finally give up, their number gradually decreased, their strange figures slowly melted into the depths of the fog, and the chill and sense of crisis that had always been entangled in the hearts of the three finally gradually weakened and dissipated.
The streets of Plantel in winter are still bitterly cold, but the external cold is really cordial and friendly compared with the chill from the bottom of the heart brought by the shadow stalkers just now.
The three people who had rushed for nearly half of the city finally slowed down, and after confirming that no more enemies appeared, they stopped slowly. The bee was panting heavily, holding on to his knees, almost unable to straighten up. The cold air was sucked into her lungs, causing her throat to ache like a knife cut, and the night owl beside her was not much better, and her physical strength was obviously close to the limit.
But when she raised her head, she saw that the old mage who had "leaded" the whole process just stood there and took a few deep breaths. His face immediately became rosy and energetic, and then she took a few more protective shots on her body. After shooting the spell, I turned my head and looked at this side: "Do you want Stoneskin Art? I practiced special super magic skills. The Stoneskin Art on a person can stack up to twelve layers..."
Sparrow Bee: "..."
"Your physical strength is really... amazing," Ye Xiao finally panted at this time, looking at Modil with a weird expression, "I never thought that a mage could be so good at running... "
"The physique of transcendents will be strengthened, and my main job is an adventurer, and I have also exercised seriously in this respect," Modil said cheerfully, and readily supplemented the two young men in front of him. After several layers of protection, "You will encounter any situation in the wilderness. When you are alone in adventure, you can't count on others. Of course, you can only find a way to make yourself ready for everything..."
"What you are talking about is'I will encounter any situation', including encountering such a large group of shadow residents and weird'messengers' in a city shrouded in dense fog?" The sparrow was a bit weird, "This seems to be beyond the ordinary. The concept of'adventure'..."
Modil thought for a while and nodded: "In fact, the situation that I encountered today should be regarded as a relatively ordinary one in my adventure career..."
Sparrow Bee: "...?"
"Let’s not discuss this anymore," the old mage waved his hand at this time, as if he was not interested in continuing to talk about his past adventures. After all, he didn’t remember more than half of his adventures. What's the matter, if you want to find a way to get out of this weird thick fog, I also have to find a way to go home and come along your way. Do you have a clue?"
The bee frowned. She looked up at the misty scenery around her. Under the dim street lights, the houses on both sides of the road stood silently in the night, and the doors and windows showed faint lights. Everything was the same as what she used to be in the inner city. At that time, the scenery was not too different, but perhaps because it was close to the edge of the city, the fog here seemed to be thinner. I don’t know if it is an illusion.
"Let's not stop and continue to walk outside the city." Worried about another accident, the bee stepped towards the city wall after recovering a little bit of strength," said while walking on the road.
The three began to walk towards the city wall. On the way, Ye Xiao talked about the information he had at present. When he ran madly before, although he also talked to the old master about the strange current situation of the city, it was after all. On the way to escape, in order not to affect the running and to save energy, he couldn't say too much in detail. It was only then that he had the opportunity to tell the situation in detail.
"...We suspect that this extraordinary vision is continuously spreading outward and strengthening centered on the city of a thousand towers. Judging by the order of the interruption of the news in each city and the degree of distortion of the vision, except for the city of a thousand towers, Pa Lan Santo and Lenghaicheng, between the inland and border cities, may have already encountered something similar to this place...
"Violet has always been in a state of isolation in various areas, and it is difficult for outsiders to inquire about the internal news, so until the vision has developed to this point, we can guess something...
"At present, we don't know whether this thick fog will continue to spread to areas outside the Violet Kingdom. If it does continue to spread outward, then I am afraid it will lead to a disaster..."
Modil quietly listened to Ye Xiao's account, and suddenly said: "You two, obviously are not ordinary businessmen doing business here... Amber's?"
"...That's true," Birdbee pursed her lips, but didn't mean to continue to conceal it. Although at first she and Ye Xiao did not disclose their identities to the "mysterious mage" in front of them due to regulations, but now they know that the other party is Mo Dill Wilde revealed a lot of clues in the process of running together. There is no need to keep confidential, "We are from the External Affairs Department."
"Oh, that's the case, I suspected it just now..." Modil nodded, then involuntarily looked behind the two senior operators, up and down as if looking for something.
Ye Xiao was awkward by the opponent's sight: "What are you looking for?"
"Where are your two-handed swords?" Modil looked curious, "the one used to release the whirlwind."
Ye Xiao: "...Different equipment is used on different mission occasions, and the two-handed sword is inconvenient to move around."
"Reasonable," Modil nodded, and then his attention returned to the business in front of him, "Actually, I have felt very strange from just now... How come those shadow dwellers appear in this place?"
Sparrow was curious: "What do you mean?"
"This is not the Shadow Realm, at least the Shadow Realm as I know it does not grow like this," Modil raised his finger to point to the foggy street and the houses on both sides of the road. Even if someone strays into the real world through the "crack" occasionally, they will never form such a large scale, let alone stay and act in the real world for such a long time. Our real world is very uncomfortable for them. Place, unless..."
When he said this, he paused, and shook his head slightly: "...This whole city is shrouded in a strange environment. Maybe this is not exactly the real world we are familiar with, maybe it's a "crack". ', maybe some kind of superposition field... This is a bit beyond my knowledge reserve. I have never seen such a weird environment in my life."
Sparrow pondered, she suddenly thought of something, and said to the air: "Manager, as long as we leave the city, are we safe?"
The surroundings were silent, but after the bee’s voice fell for a few seconds, some pale writing appeared on a nearby wall: "Go to the beach to the southeast. That is the exit of the vision. I have arrived near the beach. Ready to meet you at any time."
Modil watched the writing abruptly on the wall.
When he started running a while ago, he saw such handwritings that appeared out of thin air, and now these handwritings appeared in front of his eyes again, still presented in this weird way.
The old mage thoughtfully.
"This is our'shop manager' and the team commander we are operating here," the sparrow bee on the side saw Modil's sight but thought that the old mage was curious, so he took the initiative to explain, "He can't directly communicate with him now. When we meet, we can only use this method to deliver the news. He went to Beicheng District to investigate the situation and he knew more about this vision than we did."
"Manager, is your side safe now?" Ye Xiao asked on the other side.
"I am safe here," another pale handwriting appeared on the wall not far in front. "The'messenger' and the shadow residents summoned by the'messenger' seem to only move around the inner city for the time being. They should be there. A clear mission or purpose will not move outward for the time being."
Seeing the pale writing on the wall, Sparrow Bee and Ye Xiao finally felt a little relieved. Then they unanimously looked towards the end of the road ahead, only to see a slight orange-red brilliance. I don’t know when it appeared in the night. The other side, and it was spreading slowly and silently in the mist.
That's not the light from street lights or buildings. It's the rising sun.
"The sun is rising soon!" Ye Xiao reacted in an instant, his tone of voice was involuntarily agitated, although there is no evidence to prove that the sun will disperse this weird vision, but at this moment, here is already close to the city. At the edge, he suddenly saw a ray of morning sun appearing in the boundless thick fog, and he still felt a huge encouragement in his heart.
The sparrow bee also smiled at the moment the slight sun appeared: "Great, the sun is rising soon... Let's speed up!"
When the voice fell, she had already walked quickly towards the end of the road, towards the direction where the little sun gradually spread.
It was like walking towards the exit of a weird nightmare.
The fog on the surrounding streets surging slightly, as if the sun from the sky has disturbed and stimulated the dense fog. The gray-white fog is flowing like a liquid between street lamps, eaves and walls, as if wanting to interweave. Twisted into a big net, but this invisible and innocent net can no longer stop the sparrow bees who have reached the edge of the city.
They are walking fast. Although they have been running around in the night all night, their bodies are lighter than ever at this moment. The overly yellow street lights on both sides of the road have become brighter than before. The outline of the building is gradually becoming clearer, and the brighter the sky gradually spreads across the border city.
However, the thick fog is still there, as if this thick fog will chase and cover everything forever as long as it does not leave this strange land of visions.
The sparrow bee and the night owl walked through the fog, constantly leaving the foggy street behind, facing the distant world illuminated by the sun.
They came to the end of the city, where the fog rose like a towering wall, presenting a clear posture like a “line of demarcation” with fierce conflict.
Before this last obstacle, the bee's footsteps suddenly stopped.
She looked at the end of the road with a little surprise, watching the stone pavement ahead suddenly stopped as if it was cut off by something, and even some of the surrounding houses appeared to be cut off by a sharp edge in front of an invisible boundary. , And a little further ahead, there was only an empty piece of darkness in the thick fog. The city wall that should have been standing there... I don't know when it has disappeared.
Looking through the thinner "crevices" in the mist, she could only see the darkness in front as thick as ink, which looked strange and prohibitive.
"Where are the city walls and gates?" Ye Xiao was also puzzled, "and the road here..."
"Go forward," a pale handwriting suddenly appeared on the nearest lamppost, "Don't be fooled by this last illusion. You will see the road before you step out and you will see it."
Ye Xiao and Sparrow Gazed at each other subconsciously, and then looked back at the old mage who followed them.
Modil just nodded slightly: "You make the decision, anyway, I think your'store manager' should be certain, and I don't feel any danger."
The bird bee retracted his gaze, turned his head and glanced at the boundless darkness at the end of the abruptly stopped road, and then took a step forward almost at the same time as Ye Xiao.
In the next second, their figures suddenly disappeared into the boundless darkness.
