The team made their way up the rugged mountain trail and had now finally reached the summit.It is said to be the top of the mountain, but because this is an ancient road built specifically for crossing the mountains, it is a low-altitude "gap" in the Longji Mountains, with towering peaks on both sides, and it feels like the cliffs on both sides are about to crush towards you, which can be said to be a strange sight.Lily was still at the front of the line as usual, she didn't seem to know what it meant to be tired, and even when the sturdy horses that followed the team were panting, she still had the strength to jump in front of her: "See the blood lake!"
See the Lake of Blood!
”Hao Ren followed, and when he heard Lily's shouting, he immediately took two steps, standing on the open ground on the top of the mountain, he finally saw the destination of this trip - this is actually some distance from the Blood Lake, but because the air quality in this world is excellent, there are no clouds and fog here, and you can see the scene in the distance when you stand on the mountain.At the foot of the mountain, a vast expanse of plains and forests stretch out, and the Beinz Blood Lake shimmers with a magnificent ruby luster in the midst of the forests and plains, as the legend says, the waters of the lake are as red as blood, shining in the sun, eerie, but magnificent.Becky's voice sounded behind him: "It's much easier when you go down the mountain, the mountain road in front of you is better than the eastern foothills, and the slope is relatively gentle."
After descending the mountain, go a little southwest to Leighton Town, which is the last regular town before entering the Blood Lake, let's take a little rest there, and enter the Blood Lake area through the outpost of Leighton Town. ”"This thing is really magnificent," Hao Ren said sincerely, he had guessed countless times before what a "blood lake" would look like, but it was nothing more than changing the color of the photo of the earth lake in his mind, and now after witnessing it with his own eyes, he realized that the imagination in his mind has its limit after all, and the visual impact brought by such an ocean of wanton blood-colored water spreading out in front of him is extraordinary, it is not only dyeing the earth, but also projecting a strange red light into the sky, The sunlight shining on the blood lake creates a hazy light effect, giving the impression that the Beinz region is wrapped in a otherworldly barrier.The entire area of the lake was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and Hao Ren stood on the top of the mountain for a long time without moving, until he suddenly noticed that some of the colors around the Blood Lake did not seem to be simply dyed by the lake light, "Is that a forest?"
”Betsy looked in the direction of Hao Ren's finger.It was a large forest between the Blood Lake and the mountains, and the only way to get out of Leighton to the Blood Lake, a forest with a surprisingly neat distribution of vegetation, almost everywhere covered with the same density of "canopies", and an unsettling purple-red hue overall.Betsy noticed that Hao Ren and the others were looking at the forest in amazement.There was no surprise on his face: "It feels incredible to see it for the first time, right?"
That's the forest, the twisted woodland, supposedly created by the angry thoughts of the goddess when she destroyed the world, which were left in the lake and thus encroached on the surrounding plants, and I said before that there are many strange and dangerous creatures around the blood lake, and that forest is one of the most dangerous creatures: it is a plant, unprecedentedly large, covering half of the plain, but we must pass through the forest. ”Hao Ren was stunned: "A plant?!"
What does it mean?
”"Literally, you don't even know this, do you?
At least I've heard of it. ”Betsy shrugged, "All the trees in the entire Twisted Woodland are actually the same plant, the tentacles of some unusually large and ancient being piercing the surface of the earth, a fact that a small group of elven scholars have spent more than a hundred years figuring out.But don't worry, the twisted woodland itself is not aggressive, we just need to be careful of the poisonous plants and beasts that grow in the forest. ”Hao Ren got goosebumps, and he looked at the large purple-red forest on the plain at the foot of the mountain, imagining that the thousands of plants there were actually branches of some strange, massive, ancient creature, and that he would have to walk through that living behemoth, which made people's hairs stand on end.Lily didn't hide her worries.She jumped back twice with her tail between her legs: "Is there any other way?"
”Betsy gestured to the northern part of the forest, where the bare plains glowed with a deeper purple-red sheen, which seemed to be covered in crystalline shells in the sunlight, and the fuchsia flats connected the mountains on the other side of the Blood Lake: "There is only one other way to the Blood Lake.But that would have to be bypassed from the poisonous plains north of the lake, and eventually through the sacred mountains of the mountain and werewolf tribal states, which would be even more dangerous.Don't look at the hospitality of the mountain people, but they don't like people entering their sacred mountains, especially the werewolf tribal nation. ”Lily puffed up her chest and said that she was a werewolf: "Isn't it okay to have your own people to introduce you?"
”To be honest, if she had to be the same as Vivien, then this chest lift would be somewhat convincing......
Betsy glanced at Lily, "Are you sure you're a werewolf?"
Why do I feel like you don't know as much about the rules of werewolves as I do?
Over the years, only a few bishops of the Radiant Cult and the previous generation of virtuous kings, Bedvine, were welcomed into the sacred mountain by the werewolf tribe and the mountain people by virtue of their virtue.Where do you get so much confidence?
”Hao Ren knew that this husky would drop the chain, and quickly dragged Lily back: "Hehe, she also grew up on the plains like Yitzax, and the bloodline is not pure......
"Of course the bloodline is not pure, one-sixteenth of Jingba, this is not a lie, Hao Ren's biggest characteristic is not lying."
Betsy stepped forward: "Alright, let's go down the mountain, try to reach Layton Town before the evening, I don't want to spend the night in the mountain." ”The climate of the Dragonspine Mountains is the same as what Betsy said before, the two sides of the mountain range are completely different, the east side facing the grassland is dry and cold and the vegetation is sparse, while the west side facing the Beinz Blood Lake has warm and moist air, although the thought that this humid air may come from the strange blood-colored lake makes people can't help but mutter, but the west side of the mountain range does make people feel much more comfortable.The surrounding rocks are no longer as bare as they are in the eastern foothills, but are full of low plants that grow tenaciously in the crevices of the rocks, strangely shaped vines, and, of course, moss in some places.Becky stopped when the team was halfway up the mountain, and she pointed to the cliff in the distance and exclaimed, "Look over there!!"
”Following the direction of Betsy's finger, you can see an obvious collapsed mountain wall, covered with vines, moss, and bushes, the solid mountain body seems to have been chiseled by the gods from top to bottom, and the whole body has collapsed, leaving an almost vertical cliff of 90 degrees, this time the landslide directly dug a straight high wall under one of the peaks of the Dragon's Back Mountains, and the bare gray-brown rocks can be seen on the fractured cliff, and the dust and mist that has not completely dispersed can be seen at the foot of the mountain, It seems that this terrible collapse accident happened not long ago.Hao Ren instantly thought of the loud noise that everyone had heard not long after they had gone up the mountain before—it turned out that it was actually coming from the western foot of the mountain range?
Lily looked up at the sky, and she vaguely remembered that there were heavy clouds floating in the sky when everyone went up the mountain: "Probably the sound of the reflection of the clouds, the landslide at the western foot of the mountain range spread to the eastern foothills." ”Hao Ren coughed dryly, and said in his heart What happened to this stupid girl today, she suddenly exposed the nature of the Physical Emperor, could it be that her usual two lack of character are disguised?
But then Lily began to pick up rocks from nearby and threw them out to see if they could hit the rocks in the distance, and Hao Ren was relieved: it looked like he was still a second-hand ......, "The collapse of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range is not a good sign......"
Betsy muttered to herself, her voice revealing the fear of being a local indigenous brainwashed by various religious legends, while Vivien on the other side quickly summoned a small bat to fly to the newly cracked mountain wall, because she saw certain traces that she was quite concerned about.Soon the little bat found the evidence that Vivien had expected, and the vampire girl gasped, "Those rock giants have indeed split from these cliffs, and ......
Definitely more than four!
”The edge of the rocky cliff could be seen in a series of indentations of a certain shape, which looked like the marks left by a giant buried in the mountain breaking free from its shackles, and the huge amount of rock that had collapsed below, although Vivien could not identify it at once, saw many similar traces of detachment.The entire mountain was littered with signs of disintegration, and how many of the stones had turned into that terrifying giant monster?
