Chapter 408: Barren Land


I went out to do things during the day, and I came back late to the code word code until now, and it was half past twelve o'clock and the update was late, please forgive me Chapter 408: Barren Land "What do I do now" Chen Daolin looked at Lu Gao.

The fourteen stone slabs had been arranged in order, and the words embedded in the stone slabs seemed to come alive, faintly flowing on the walls.

Lu Gao didn't pay attention to Chen Daolin's inquiry at all, but just stood there with his hands in his hands, slightly distracted, as if he was recalling something.

Just when Chen Daolin was stunned, the fourteen stone slabs inlaid on the wall suddenly fell off silently and fell gently in front of him, and in a ray of light, the Chinese characters on the fourteen stone slabs, "I don't know my life" and so on, all disappeared.

Immediately, two large golden characters appeared in the pit on the original wall.

Reset Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

This means password reset hahahahaha In other words, when you open the door, you have the highest authority and can reset the password Chen Daolin touched his chin, this is an unexpected joy.

That Du Wei made the last password so unrestrained, if he didn't get a bizarre one, wouldn't he be weaker than him Darlinggo pondered for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Fourteen words will do, right?"

He quickly wrote on the fourteen stone tablets In Lu Gao's opinion, the smile on Chen Daolin's face at this moment is a repetition of Du Wei standing in front of him with a cheap smile on the day more than a hundred years ago The arrogant and cold Lu Gao couldn't help but ask: "What kind of password did you get?"

"Hehe, anyway, no one in this world can guess except me."

Chen Daolin laughed, patted the dust that didn't actually exist on his hands, and looked at his "masterpiece" with satisfaction "Enemy, army, also, have, 30, second, to, reach, battle, field, grind, press, he, they" "What are you doing now" Chen Daolin looked at the wall in front of him, subconsciously stretched out his hand, touched it, and immediately saw that his hand was effortlessly submerged into the wall, as if it was touching the air "Huh" Chen Daolin raised his eyebrows, and was about to say something, but Lu Gao beside him was cold, and shouted with a sneer: "Go in, you" Lu Gao flew up and kicked Chen Daolin's buttocks, and immediately kicked Chen Daolin directly into the wall Then, Lu Gao took a deep breath, with a complicated expression on his face, looked around, and then looked at the passage outside the secret room, and there was a faint nostalgia in his eyes "Goodbye no, I should say goodbye to this, the world" After saying this, the strongman snorted, without looking back, and strode into the wall, and the figure disappeared.

"Stroke hard, stroke hard" As the boatswain shouted, the sailors sitting on either side of the boat rowed their oars separately.

Five small boats were on the surface of the sea at the same time, speeding towards the land not far away.

Tacitus was dressed in military uniform, and he even put on the armor of a holy knight that he had not seen for a long time, and stood at the bow of the ship, his body as straight as a javelin, and a knight's sword in both hands, standing proudly in the sea breeze.

His eyes were sharp, staring coldly like an eagle at the shoreline that was getting closer and closer The ship anchored in the sea, not too far from land, and found a sheltered position behind a cliff and stopped.

Twenty-eight sailors, plus thirty members of the Church, including Tacitus himself, formed a temporary landing party.

Tacitus thought he had been careful, leaving a captain on board and three holy knights to keep watch on the ship, in case anyone rioted or escaped in the boat.

Five small boats, fifty-eight landing officers, and in addition to the members of the church, the sailors were each given a weapon.

When the boat finally washed up on the beach, Tacitus jumped out of the water, waded a few steps forward, and when he stepped on the soft sand, the leader of the Holy Knights had tears in his eyes "Everyone, please remember that at this moment, we are stepping on the land of the New World, a place that the Roland people have never reached."

Everyone's emotions were a little excited, the only slight difference was that the faces of the sailors and crews, in addition to excitement, were also a little apprehensive and faint fear.

Lan Lan waited for the boat to be completely on the beach before getting off the boat.

She stepped on the sand, actually bent down, grabbed a handful of wet sand, and pinched it in her hand.

The holy woman sighed softly and whispered to herself: "It seems that it is no different from the sand of the Roland Empire."

"Drag the boat ashore and hide quickly, move quickly, and the sun will go down" One of the captains who accompanied him shouted and ordered his men to work.

And Tacitus had already led his holy knights to quickly form a temporary defensive formation on the shore.

Lan Lan's expression was very relaxed, she walked on the beach casually, occasionally bending down, picking up a shell or two, and finally walked more than ten meters away, jumped on a rock by the sea, and covered her hands on her eyebrows to look into the distance.

"Lanlan, come down and be careful" Hearing Tacitus's shout, Lan Lan smiled lightly: "I don't think I need to worry too much about the knight lord, it seems that there are no people here." ” Lan Lan was right, when Tacitus himself ran to a high ground and looked into the distance, he finally admitted Lan Lan's judgment.

Looking inland, there is no sign of people here.

As far as the eye can see, there is a wasteland.

Yes, the wasteland Vast expanses of bare mountains seem to be hard and cold stones.

There is also vegetation, and some green trees and plants look quite different from the plants of the Roland Empire.

In just a few moments, Lan Lan discovered at least six plants that she had never seen in the Roland Continent, you know, Lan Lan could cultivate in the frozen forest for many years, and in the frozen forest, she had never seen any plants and trees Everything seems strange here.

The land is red, and the mountains and slopes seem to have been weathered, standing on the moor under the setting sun, glowing a faint red.

The stone is red, the earth is red, and it seems that even the sunlight here is red, and of course, the last one is just an illusion created by everyone.

But for now, at least, no signs of smoke have been found.

"Where is the other civilized country that Darling Chen is talking about" Tacitus looked very serious: "Could it be that the people here live inland, far from the coast?"

"It's not impossible."

Lan Lan cautiously analyzed: "Even in the Roland Continent, many coastal areas are very desolate and inhabited.

If we are allowed to go inland, we will meet anyone. ” Tacitus took a deep breath and looked at the sky, and as the leader, he made a decision: leave two people on the shore to guard the landing craft.

The rest of the people went deep into the interior together.

"Find a way to find the local residents here, without my order, everyone is not allowed to communicate with each other rashly, from now on, the right to communicate with the people of the New World belongs to me alone, without my permission, no one is allowed to contact strangers, and be vigilant" Tacitus chose two skilled knights to lead the way at the head of the procession, and the group left the coastline and headed inland.

They have a sailing compass in their hands, and they can also observe the direction of Luoyue, so they are not afraid of getting lost.

It was just a procession of a few dozen people that went inland, until it was almost dark, but there was still no human presence in sight.

Tacitus had no choice but to order a suitable place to camp.

In an unfamiliar environment, traveling at night is not a smart move.

The Holy Knight Leader still retains full caution.

Searching for shelter behind a huge red rock, several simple tents were soon erected.

The sailors chopped some bushes and branches around and built a bonfire.

When night fell, the sound of the wind whistling in the surrounding wilderness, especially as it passed through the weathered red rocky slopes, and the sound was like the howl of some wild beast.

At least the blazing bonfire in front of me gives people a sense of security.

Tacitus did not forget to arrange for the personnel on duty, and the rest gathered around the campfire, ate some dry food, and rested.

The next day, the landing party had a little better luck.

They found a river.

The river is clearly headed towards the sea, the water is clear, and the river is full of pebbles.

After Lan Lan and a few magicians checked and confirmed that the river water was free of toxins, a group of people who were worried about the shortage of fresh water on the sea immediately rushed into the river excitedly.

Some of the sailors even took off their clothes and soaked their whole bodies in the water, and they splashed desperately in the water, gulping down fresh water Lan Lan was the only woman in the adventure team, she immediately left here with a few people from the church, walked dozens of meters upstream, and then took out the storage ring upstream, and carefully began to replenish the fresh water reserves.

After all the empty barrels in the storage ring were filled with fresh water, everyone's mood was inexplicably much lighter.

In fact, everyone couldn't help but think in their hearts: with plenty of fresh water, even if nothing was found, now return to the ship and sail back to Roland, at least the fresh water will be enough.

Everyone was very happy, those sailors were bathing downstream, and Lan Lan looked a little envious that she was a girl after all.

She hadn't bathed in days on the boat due to the shortage of fresh water, and now even she could feel something strange smelling of herself.

Tacitus came to Lan Lan's side, patted Lan Lan's shoulder, and sighed: "Okay, you don't have to be tense here, you go and relax, I'll send someone to give you the wind." ” An hour later, everyone had finished showering and dressed, and everyone's hair was wet.

But there was an expression of satisfaction and joy written on everyone's face.

Only Lan Lan, although she also took a bath, but after going ashore and returning to the team, her face was a little faintly uneasy.

"Knight, Chief."

Lan Lan quietly pulled Tacitus aside: "I found out something" "What" Tacitus immediately became excited: "What did you find" Lan Lan's expression was very strange: "Nothing." ” Tacitus was stunned.

Lan Lancai sighed and added, "It's because I didn't find anything that I feel strange. ” After a pause, she pointed to the river beside her and said slowly: "My lord, think about it, even if it is in an inaccessible wild area, even if there are no people living nearby, at least there should be some wild animals."

Ordinary beasts and even monsters must know that whether they are beasts or monsters, they must at least follow the most basic biological laws, and they always have to gather where there is a water source.

In the wild, wherever there is a water source, there are often traces of animal survival or activity around.

But I have searched carefully on the shore just now, and the shore of this river is so clean that I can't understand the shore here, and I haven't found any footprints or footprints left by wild beasts, which is very abnormal, such a big river, there are no wild beasts on the bank to drink?"

Tacitus's expression immediately became solemn.

"There are very few trees and vegetation here.

Probably because the special red soil here is not suitable for plant growth, and you see those mountains, they are all bare and dried red rocks.

Lan Lan shook her head and pointed to the distance: "But even if there are fewer trees, there should always be some birds here."

I haven't heard any birdsong from last night until now. ” Lan Lan's face became more and more ugly, and she said in a low voice: "In fact, when you were camping in the wilderness last night, did you ever hear the sound of insects chirping?"

Tacitus's face darkened: "No" He did ignore this detail As a knight chief, he is highly skilled in martial arts, has no shortage of military strategy and wisdom, and has also been trained by the elite of the church.

But this kind of experience of survival in the wild is poor after all, far inferior to Lan Lan, who once cultivated alone in the frozen forest.

"I even suspect that we may be the only creatures in the nearby area."

Tacitus raised an eyebrow, and he noticed that Lan Lan was talking about "creatures", not "people".

After talking to Lan Lan, Tacitus returned to the group and immediately gave an order that left everyone at a loss.

He ordered everyone to immediately search the surroundings on the spot The search is not for people, but "Rats, bugs, snakes, birds, anything, as long as it is alive and can be found, report it to me immediately."

The team disbanded with a bang.

Immediately, dozens of people divided into seven or eight groups searched everywhere, picked up the swords in their hands and dug up in the ground The people who had already washed it were soon covered in dirt again.

But as a result, it made Tacitus and Lan Lan's expressions more and more ugly More than 50 people dug for more than an hour Not to mention what kind of rat it was, not even a single earthworm was found There isn't even a living creature in this place "It's not normal, it's not normal" Tacitus clenched his fists and swept around with his blazing gaze, looking into the wilderness in the distance After more than an hour of busyness, not even a single live bug was found, and even those sailors who were very slow to react felt that something was abnormal.

There was some panic in the ranks very quickly.

But Tacitus was quick to react.

He asked all the holy knights to assemble and line up, and the mighty and mighty holy knights, wearing armor polished with streams, holding a bright sword, stood in front of him, plus the prestige of the Holy Knights of the Temple of Light, it was still very able to bring people a sense of security.

There are also several magicians in the church, who also showed their wands intentionally or unintentionally under Lan Lan's instructions.

With these powerful people of the Church as companions, the twenty-eight sailors finally settled down a little.

But the uneasiness between Lan Lan and Tacitus' eyebrows did not relax at all.

Tacitus showed the qualities of a good leader, and he understood that survival in the wild was his weakness, so he humbly asked Lan Lan for advice.

"It's not entirely impossible."

Lan Lan thought for a while: "There are also two possibilities in the Roland Empire, which will cause the possibility of the extinction of creatures in an area.

The first is that there may be some kind of special minerals around, and some special minerals or plants will exude a special atmosphere, so that many creatures are very repulsive to this substance, so they have to stay away from here, creating a biological vacuum within a certain range.

Another possibility is that there is something particularly powerful here, something that makes all other creatures feel scared and threatened, so they all stay away from here.

Maybe I didn't make it clear enough, but you can imagine that there are no other beasts in the territory of a lion.

Maybe we've intruded into the territory of a powerful creature, maybe it's some kind of monster. ” This explanation relieved Tacitus.

Mighty beasts Warcraft The Holy Knight Captain didn't care.

Not to mention that there were more than a dozen powerful holy knights by his side.

Even if he himself has the powerful combat power of a high-level warrior, even if he encounters a high-level demonic beast, Tacitus is not afraid at all, but he just lets his long sword get stained with blood Even so, Tacitus made arrangements: he sent a number of holy knights to roam the front and back of the procession, left and right, and kept an eye out for possible "powerful beasts or magical beasts" that might appear.

The group left the river and continued to walk inland, walking for another half day, and when it was dark, they stopped again to camp.

Sitting by the campfire, Lan Lan was still very careful to comfort Tacitus: "Maybe it's just these red rock peaks around us, and there is a certain mineral in it that we don't know about yet."

You know, almost all beasts and animals are far more powerful than humans in terms of smell and some other senses.

Perhaps there is some mineral substance here that animals don't like.

I knew that there were some special minerals, and there was no grass growing in a large area around them.

Perhaps this is just the kind of situation we are experiencing.

Of course, it's always good to be careful. ” "Yes, you're right, it's always good to be careful.

Those who are on duty tonight will be doubled," Tacitus nodded slowly.

As a chief knight, Tacitus was still very good, he did not sleep on his own, but personally participated in the vigil on duty, and having such a leader led by example could ensure the morale of the holy knights.

Lan Lan originally wanted to take the initiative to ask for a vigil, after all, she was the most experienced in wilderness survival among everyone.

But considering that she was a woman and a saint, coupled with a little bit of machismo thinking in the hearts of those holy knights, Lan Lan finally slept in the tent.

However, in the middle of the night, Lan Lan still couldn't sleep.

There was always some faint uneasiness in her heart, which was not clear, but only vaguely existed, but it tormented her heart repeatedly.

This made Lan Lan very nervous and alert With years of experience in penance in the frozen forest, this kind of alertness like a sixth sense, having saved her life many times, seems to have every time she has this strange sense of uneasiness, something bad will always happen Lan Lan sat up, grabbed her hair, and made a decision in her heart "I'd better advise Tacitus when the day comes, that we go back the way we came, and then get on the boat and take a boat to go around the area by sea.

It will take some time to search along the coastline on the boat, but at least it is much better to be safe, and as soon as it is dawn, I will advise Tacitus."

Just as Lan Lan made up her mind, she heard a voice that made her creep "Ahh In the darkness of the night, a scream, terrible and sharp, instantly broke the silence of the night Lan Lan had already jumped up quickly and rushed out of the tent She could tell that the screams were coming from the guard post on the east side of the camp.
