The first impression of the Dark Mountains on Lucien was the word "huge", with huge peaks, huge trees, huge vines, and huge beasts.
Dozens or hundreds of meters tall towering giant trees abound, which seem to be dyed with a layer of black leaves to cover the sky, making people walking in the dark mountains feel like they are in the evening, and it is rare for bright light to shine directly into it.
The thick layer under your feet is full of piles of rotting leaves, and when you step on it, you can't tell where it is solid ground and where it is a dangerous swamp, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it, and you can suddenly get out of the dirt, trees, rotting leaves and shrubs at any time and anywhere, poisonous snakes, spiders and other dangerous and disgusting creatures can suddenly emerge from the dirt, trees, rotting leaves and shrubs.
Moreover, all kinds of rotten auras were often mixed into colorful and poisonous mist of different colors, which even official knights did not dare to touch easily.
But in such a harsh environment, Lucien was dressed in a white shirt, a black double-breasted long dress, and monocles, as if walking in the safety of Alinge, Rentat and other cities.
"Mr.
Elvis, how long will it take to reach the Nightmare King's Magic Tower" Lucien, cautious in his heart, asked the contact next to him while observing the tall trees, tangled vines, and the bewitching flowers that emitted a fishy smell around him.
The liaison, Elvis, is an ordinary-looking brown-haired ordinary person who usually wanders around the adventurer's camp to buy materials and other goods, and then sells them to the magicians in the depths of the Dark Mountains who are not easy to get close to the fortress in the Dark Mountains.
After accepting the mission, Lucien, who received information from the Magic Council, knew that he was not as simple as he seemed, and that there was a faint figure of the Nightmare King Stanis, who was tasked with helping the Nightmare King inquire about the outside world and guide visitors.
So, as soon as he arrived at the adventurer's camp, Lucien shifted his conflicting thoughts back to the dangers of the Dark Mountains and the completion of the mission, and found Elvis directly, indicating his intention in vague words, and received his response without surprise.
Elvis, who was wearing a black tightsuit, walked briskly, and the whole person looked like a cheetah with restrained strength and ready to attack, after hearing Lucian's question, he didn't look back, continued to look around vigilantly, and replied in a flat tone: "At least more than half a month."
Mr.
X, you should know that it is better not to fly without legendary strength in the Dark Mountains, and it is easy to react and crash into some terrifying creatures if you go too fast. ” Mr.
X is the code name that Lucien told Elvis, without using his real name.
Lucien bowed his head slightly, agreeing with this, the sky of the Dark Mountains is said to be full of cracks, connecting various dangerous alien spaces, so there are strange shapes and a wide variety of creatures here, and many powerful magical creatures like to divide their territory, if the strength is not enough but fly over their territory, it is very easy to be attacked, the most typical example is the dragons, not to mention that there are many flying creatures hovering in the air, such as lightning eagles, griffins, scavenging birds, etc.
Stepping on the pile of soft, rotting leaves, a turquoise snake suddenly sprang up and bit Lucian's leg.
With a crisp snap, the snake almost snapped its teeth like it had bitten a stone, and its strip-shaped body flicked and fled in panic, hiding in the rotting branches and leaves.
From the beginning of entering the Dark Mountains, Lucien has carefully stacked two defensive spells for himself, "Stone Skin" and "Douglas's Spell Absorption Wall", which cannot be left careless.
"I didn't even sense it beforehand" Lucien seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was asking Elvis, and with his four-ring magician's spiritual power, he couldn't find a poisonous snake at his feet.
Even if the rotten aura that permeated the surroundings was very suppressive of the spiritual force field, it should not be suppressed to this extent.
Elvis frowned slightly: "My intuition also seems to be suppressed, could it be that there are some high-level magical creatures nearby?"
The path he took with Lucien was a gap between the territories of many magical creatures, and the possibility of a sudden disruption of the balance could not be ruled out.
Discerning the environment, Elvis deviated slightly from his original direction, and then continued on his way, anyway, there was no real road in the Dark Mountains.
Just a few steps in the shadows, Lucien heard a strange creaking sound.
A huge spider suddenly fell from the sky, the bulge on its back was colorful, and it seemed to form a strange smiling human face, with protruding fangs like pitch-black daggers, and two black arms wrapped in carapace stretched out from below, and twelve fingers with a total of one hundred and twenty curved joints.
As the spider fell, the thick white spider silk spewed out in a huge web, covering Lucien and Elvis.
Lucian's wrist flashed, and a red fireball appeared out of thin air, hitting the spider's web.
A violent explosion occurred, and the rising flames quickly ignited the spider silk and spread rapidly, quickly turning the spider web into a web of fire.
The weakness of spider silk is fire As a magician, if you don't know even the most basic knowledge of monsters, you can't be called qualified As soon as the giant spider landed, it moved with extraordinary agility, and its joints creaked again, and its speed was not much slower than that of the third-level grand knight.
At this moment, the surrounding squeak and rattle sounded like noise, and one after another huge multicolored spiders flew down from the sky or swung to the ground along the thick spider silk that drooped, enveloping Lucian and Elvis in the center.
"Transforming Spider", a kind of spider unique to the Dark Mountains, a monster that can change the body of the Chengren head spider, has a third-level strength when he becomes an adult, is fast, agile, and is good at using supernatural powers such as illusions, likes group activities, group hunting, and can often deal with enemies much stronger than himself.
Knowledge of the dark creature crossed his mind, and immediately after, Lucien activated the "Crowd Panic Technique", and invisible magical fluctuations spread in all directions.
When this magical fluctuation came into contact with Elvis, the talisman on his chest glowed milky, negating the "Crowd Panic Technique".
Most of the shapeshifting spiders were frightened and scurryed around, and a few successfully resisted, squeaking and squeaking to attack Lucien from all directions.
Some of them ripple with quiet green ripples on their bodies, flowing as if to soothe their sleep, some continue to spew cobwebs in an attempt to trap Lucien and the others, and some pounce on them, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat after successfully trapping them, defeating their opponents by biting, infusing venom and grappling, wrapping them into cocoons as reserve food.
Elvis glanced at Lucien with a slight dissatisfaction, then carried a black giant hammer the size of a skull to face the shape-shifting spider.
Although he understood that Mr.
X was planning to use indiscriminate range-type magic to control the scene, which was a better choice in the previous situation, anyway, for Mr.
X, there was no practical point in having such a helper as himself, and he could recover if he was frightened, but when he was affected by the range-type magic, he was inevitably still a little uncomfortable.
Each blow of the giant hammer can stir up burning flames, destroying spider webs and the like, and in four or five strokes, a transforming spider is hammered into a meat patty, and the monster's sleep, stun, and silent illusion are all canceled out by the light of his talisman that has not yet disappeared.
He seems to be a fourth-level knight, and he has not yet shown the power of his bloodline.
Lucien protrudes from a transparent wall of light with countless magical symbols, absorbing the quiet green ripples and terrifying black phantoms, and then uses the Coral Staff to help lock on, activating the Fireweaver's "Fireball Technique" to kill a shape-shifting spider that pounces in front of him.
By the time the spellcasting buffer had passed, Lucien's staff pointed, and a dark cloud coalesced over the heads of the shapeshifting spiders who had chosen to cast spell-like powers and spray cobwebs instead of melee combat, as well as their terrified compatriots.
Silver-white lightning bolts slashed out from within the clouds, turning them into a forest of thunder and lightning, and the shape-shifting spiders were quickly scorched to the ground.
The four-ring electromagnetic magic "Thundercloud Technique", one of the two four-ring magic built into the soul during Lucian's return to Aalto, and the other is the unique magic "Muskeline Curse".

After killing most of the shape-shifting spiders, it didn't take long for the remaining two or three to be exterminated by Lucien and Elvis one by one.
"Mr.
Elvis, is there any problem?"
Lucien asked suspiciously, seeing Elvis's solemn expression.
Isn't it normal to be attacked by monsters in the Dark Mountains, and you are also preparing to collect intact shape-shifting spider fangs, venom, and silk sacs.
Elvis looked around with some uneasiness: "Mr.
X, there shouldn't be so many shape-shifting spiders on this path, unless, unless" It was as if he had thought of a terrifying possibility.
Before Lucien could inquire in detail, he suddenly felt a strong oppressive force, which made him tremble.
Hurriedly raised his head, only to see a huge crimson lizard-like monster flying through the air, two bat-like wings flapping vigorously, panicking as if fleeing.
"Red Dragon" This is the dragon at the top of the biological chain, no wonder it has such a terrifying aura When Lucien, who first saw the legendary magical creature, subconsciously regretted that he did not have a mobile phone to capture this spectacular scene, Elvis shouted in horror, "Oops, we are in that demonic land" With that, he began to flee like a rabbit with an arrow.
"What Mr.
Elvis."
Lucien ran with Elvis.
Elvis was still determined, and while taking Lucien to find something, he said hurriedly: "There is a legendary mountain in the Dark Mountains, which can move around like a creature, and it will also change into the original terrain, so that people cannot detect it.
As long as you enter its range, you will be imprisoned in it forever, and you will never be able to get out again."
"The only way to tell the difference is if the creatures in its vicinity become chaotic and no longer follow the original rules" Lucien had never seen a similar legend in the materials of the Magic Council, and was about to inquire in detail, when Elvis suddenly screamed, and countless huge vines reached out from the rotten earth, wrapping him tightly, and dark red thorns pierced into his body.
Seeing this, Lucien was about to activate the "Elemental Order" to decompose the terrifying vines that seemed to have no energy field protection to rescue Elvis, but two rows of huge, inhuman all-black eyes suddenly opened on the knotted body of a towering giant tree next to him.
Rays of light of different colors shot out from those dense eyes, hitting Lucian at close range.
The spell absorption wall stood out, and the magic runes surrounding the whole body were broken one by one, and the transparent light wall quickly collapsed.
In this inexplicable place where the spiritual power sense was suppressed, Lucien didn't notice that this giant tree was a terrifying scarlet demon tree, so he was hit by the rays of paralysis, sluggishness, stillness, sleep, etc., and he didn't even have time to activate the "Powerful Flame Shield".
With his head dizzy and his vision blurry, Lucien struggled with the last shred of consciousness and used all his mental power to inspire the Holm Crown Ring "Elemental".
Black, white, gold, silver, and other colored points of light appeared around Lucian's body, forming a vortex of extreme danger, isolating everything else.
This is not an attack, but a defense Thinking that Lucien was sinking into deep darkness in the hope that the "Elemental Vortex" would be able to stop the enemy before he regained his senses.
