Chapter 77: The Kingdom
of the Evil Eye Tyrant
"You are not the first humans to come here!"
Just over twenty years ago, there were some humans who came here, and those people did not conflict with the tree people, but also met Old Wood, and then entered the canyon in a vain attempt to kill the evil Evil Eye tyrant, and as a result...
Old Wood kindly pointed to the stone statue of the human knight at the mouth of the canyon... Unfortunately, it has already been trampled to pieces by a fellow treeman in the previous battle.
Du Wei immediately remembered what Baiinrich, the leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, told him: It has been recorded that the deepest place where humans walked to the deepest part of the frozen forest is this canyon! About twenty years ago, a great magician brought some high-ranking knights here, and the army was almost completely destroyed. And that magician escaped alone, and the senior knights who accompanied him all died!
Even the map given by Captain Baiinrich in Du Wei's arms was said to have been handed down by the magician who escaped!
The Treeman's expression is a bit clumsy, but the underlying meaning is obvious: I've seen some powerful humans who have come here, but they have all been defeated by the Evil Eye Tyrant, so we Treeman don't believe that you can defeat the Evil Eye Tyrant...
"Thanks for the reminder. But there's no loss to the treeman, is there? Du Wei smiled: "Let's go and kill that evil guy." If we fail, it has nothing to do with the tree people. And if we succeed, it will be regarded as compensation for what just happened.
Du Wei's words gave Old Wood no reason to be picky.
But once again, the tree man shows its incredible kindness and innocence!
Old Wood slowly leaned down, and then groped from his tree trunk for a while, pulling out a golden leaf... Du Wei noticed that this leaf was golden!
"What if... There is danger... Put it... Plugged in... On the ground, maybe it can... Protection... You guys... A little while.
Du Wei froze, you know, now they and the tree people are still in a state of opposition! The kindness and innocence of these tree people, forget the speed of hatred ... Du Wei sighed, such a race, even if the population is large, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive.
With a sigh, Du Wei returned to the back of the rock and looked at the two companions: "Hey, you all heard clearly, right?" I thought, now we have something to do... Evil Eye Tyrant, I don't know what kind of monster?
Hussein said lightly: "No matter what it is, I don't think there can be anything in this place that is my opponent." I was only interested in that spring water.
"Oh yes." Du Wei smiled and said, "That spring water should be able to heal your injuries." "Nope
!" Hussein sneered: "I don't care about my injuries... But that's where Aragon used to be! I must check it out!
"What about you?" Du Wei glanced at Dardanelle: "My friend, what do you mean?"
Dardanelle's face was serious, he pulled the bow behind his back, and said squarely: "Maybe there are golden-eyed pythons in the canyon!" That stone statue was obviously hit by petrification! Maybe there's a golden-eyed python inside! All
right.
Du Wei muttered, and he smiled: "Then let's go in and take a look." Old
Wood commanded the "companions" to move away the stones blocked at the mouth of the canyon, and the powerful tree man "companions" easily moved away from the boulders and made room for the mouth of the canyon, and then Du Wei and Old Wood waved goodbye, and together with their two companions, the three stepped into this canyon... -
How big this canyon is, Du Wei and others don't know. Although from the introduction of the tree man Old Wood, it is said that this canyon is "not big". But you know, that's measured by the height and volume of the tree man.
At least at this moment, Du Wei felt that this place was probably "not small".
After entering through the entrance of the canyon, there is a bend about ten meters away. What made the three frown was that they were greeted by a thick fog.
This is a real "thick" fog. Du Wei could clearly feel the humid feeling in the air, very strong, and even seemed to walk in the mist for a while, and his body would be stained with a lot of water vapor.
The visibility here is quite bad, and when you look at it, the effective line of sight is no more than five steps! Du Wei had never seen such a dense fog!
Walking in such a place with poor visibility, and there is also an evil powerful fellow living in this canyon. It is undoubtedly very insecure. So Du Wei tried a lot of methods. He tried to use magic to induce a small gust of wind to blow away the mist, but after the wind passed, it was still white in front of him, and Du Wei was sure of one thing... This fog was made by magic.
Barely lit a torch ... This is still a branch that Du Wei casually ripped off from the body of a fellow tree man before entering the canyon. The most powerful Hussein unyieldingly walked in the front to open the way. After Dardanelles broke, Du Wei, who had the worst melee strength, walked in the middle.
After walking in this thick mist for a while, Du Wei's spiritual power always maintained a full state of strength, carefully sensing the movements around him. But neither Du Wei nor the reactive Hussein noticed anything suspicious.
Instead, Dardanelle, who had had adventures, asked the question: "Did you find out... The ground here seems to be getting less and less snowy.
This reminded Du Wei and Hussein, and the two suddenly found that the snow under their feet was getting less and less. Du Wei sniffed his nose hard and frowned: "It's not that there is less snow, but the canyon seems to be much warmer than the outside, you see."
Du Wei pointed to the ground, slowly squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful on the ground, he grabbed some snow, and some wet and soft dirt.
"If it's in a forest, the frozen soil on the ground is difficult to cut into even with a knife. But the soil here can be grabbed as soon as you grab it. A
little further, the snow on the ground was almost gone! Under their feet was the muddy ground that the snow had melted, and the three of them walked along the way, their boots and pants covered with mud, and their leather boots stepped on the slippery mud, making people's feet extremely uncomfortable. But fortunately, the further you go inside, the higher the terrain gets, and under your feet, there is more and more dry land...
Du Wei stood up again, his eyes flashing: "Did you find out?"
Hussein and Dardanelle also stopped and nodded at the same time.
Du Wei touched the ground with his hands, and then said with a smile: "The ground is hot. Hell, is this canyon a valuable geothermal area?
"That's why the snow here melted." Dardanelle laughed.
Du Wei thought about it carefully. Suddenly figured out one thing.
This thick fog after the mouth of the canyon comes in!
This is the cold air outside the hesitant canyon, and the warm air in the canyon impacted, condensed at the mouth of the canyon, melted the snow here, the water vapor rose, forming more and more mist... And here it seems that the other party has deliberately used some kind of magic to solidify this mist. It has become a zone where the wind cannot be dispersed and water vapor cannot evaporate.
The further you go into the canyon, the drier the ground becomes, and the temperature of the air gradually rises.
Let Du Wei waitHelplessly, from the beginning of this canyon to the present, the three of them have been walking in a not too wide valley. This valley seemed to have nine turns and eighteen turns, the three of them turned a few turns, turned left and right, and finally waited until the thick fog in front of them gradually thinned, and the ground under their feet was already dry. Even under the rocks on both sides, you can even see a few green weeds and moss!
Compared to the ice and snow outside, the wind is cold and cold. The temperature in this canyon is much more comfortable.
"It seems that the Evil Eye Tyrant has robbed a good place." Dardanelle couldn't help but laugh: "In this damn forest, there is actually such a good place, if it is me, I will definitely not be willing to give it to others after grabbing it." It's cold outside!
Du Wei had unbuttoned the top few buttons of his leather coat, so that his neck was exposed and breathable, it was very warm here, and wearing the leather jacket, Du Wei felt that he was about to sweat. He even took off his fur hat and tucked it into his arms, and then looked around carefully.
The fog is so thin that it can be ignored. Du Wei felt a little more comfortable: the thick fog just now not only affected his vision, but also caused Du Wei to cough. Du Wei had no doubt that if he stayed in that thick fog with too much terrifying moisture in it for a long time, I was afraid that people would have edema in their lungs.
Now that there is no thick fog, the three of them can finally observe the place properly.
The deeper the canyon in front of you, the road gradually widened, the mountain walls on both sides were still rocky, the exposed rock faults showed a blue-gray, and in the gaps in the rocks, occasionally a few clusters of unknown plants would be tenaciously protruded, and even Du Wei saw many piles of decayed and withered wood on both sides of this canyon. Those roots that have been corrupted do not know how many years old.
"Look, there's something interesting here." Hussein, who was walking in front, suddenly let out a strange cry.
Du Wei and Dardanelle immediately followed, and saw Hussein standing in front of a "stone tablet".
It is somewhat reluctant to say that it is a "stone stele", this is clearly a large rock on the side of the road, as if it has been cut off, and on the neat cut surface that is exposed, there are a few lines of words densely carved... It is the universal text of the empire!
