Lightning flickered in and out of the clouds. The desolate Abyssal Plane was as dark as usual.
The orange flame continued to burn in the stone basin, making crackling sounds.
Cyber sat at the side with a smile on his face as he stared at the flame in a daze.
Gando looked at the smiling Holy Son with a strange expression. He waved his pustular hand in front of Gando's face, but there was no reaction.
He shook his head and took out his water sack. He opened it, sniffed it, licked his lips, and carefully closed it.
"Why are you being so careful? We're going to the Cliff of Sorrows tomorrow. I'll let you drink to your heart's content when we get back! "
Gando was embarrassed when he heard Gando's mocking voice.
He turned his head and glanced at Cyber, who had returned to normal. He clicked his tongue and said,
"What do you know? This is the last sip. We'll drink it when we climb the cliff tomorrow! We'll only have the motivation to go home after drinking the flower tea! "
Looking at Gan Duo who was glaring at him, Cyber laughed out loud.
After two months of interaction, their relationship had gotten better and better. They didn't even address each other with respect now.
Gando put away the water sack like it was a treasure and raised his eyebrows at Cyber.
"Why were you in a daze just now? Why do you come here every few days? I really want to draw that silly smile of yours. "
"Hey, Gando, would you believe me if I said I was recording our journey and writing it for my companions in the Elven Forest?"
Cyber laughed.
Gando curled his lips.
"You're fooling this old man again."
"Hahaha, it's fine if you don't believe me. Do you dare to make a bet with me? Why don't you introduce yourself when we get back? Let's see if everyone knows you. "
Cyber narrowed his eyes and laughed.
"Do they know me?"
Gando was stunned.
He widened his eyes and looked at Cyber suspiciously.
"Do you really have a way to contact my people in the Elven Forest?"
Cyber smiled but didn't say anything.
"Hmph, you must be lying to me again. You don't have the integrity of the Elves. Why would the Mother Goddess give her favor to a little bastard like you?"
Gando snorted. He didn't realize that he had been led astray and learned to swear.
The flames in the stone basin crackled, and in the distance, the laughter of the Frost Fairies could be faintly heard.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Perhaps not many people in the entire camp would be able to sleep.
The migration of more than two months was coming to an end, and the Cliff of Sorrow was right in front of them.
Standing on the hillside and looking into the distance, one could already see the top of the cliff surrounded by lightning.
In these two months of migration, there was sadness, parting, pain, and bitterness …
And now, everything was coming to an end.
Listening to the elven ballad, Cyber lifted his head to look at the sky.
The lightning in the sky continued without any signs of dissipating. This meant that tomorrow would also be a safe day.
If nothing unexpected happened, tomorrow night he would be able to drink a little wine in a tavern in the City of Heaven's Chosen.
At that time, he would pull Gan Duo and introduce him to his friends.
"By the way, where is Estelle? Also … where is the idol you brought with you? Didn't Lady Aurora ask you to carry it with you? "
Just as Saibo was lost in his thoughts, Gan Duo's voice sounded again.
Cyber retracted his gaze and said,
"The idol … Lady Aurora said that she wanted to use it tonight, so I returned it to her."
"As for Estelle …"
He pointed to the distance with his mouth.
"She's playing with her friends over there."
Gan Duo looked over and saw a group of young frost elves dancing around a bonfire.
Estelle was like a cheerful little angel, running to and fro in the crowd, giggling.
Looking at the girl's innocent and romantic figure, a smile flashed across Gan Duo's eyes.
He clicked his tongue and said, "Young people are still young.
"Young people are still the most energetic. Old bones like me can't jump anymore."
"Nonsense, you're stronger than me!"
Cyber scolded with a smile.
…
The frost elves made a ruckus for a long time.
It wasn't until the clouds in the sky completely turned into deep darkness and the lightning dimmed that they slowly stopped.
This was the way the Abyss Plane distinguished between day and night.
Although the sky was always dark, there were subtle differences in the color of the clouds. During the "day", the clouds were slightly gray, but during the "night", they were pure black.
There were also variations in the lightning, either bright or dark.
This was also the way the frost elves kept track of time. For thousands of years, they recorded day after day like this.
The camp gradually fell into silence as the elves fell asleep. Only the bonfire continued to flicker.
They still had to climb the mountain tomorrow, and there was also the possibility of encountering demons in the city ruins. A battle could not be ruled out.
So … after the celebration, it was better to recharge and store up energy.
However, Cyber couldn't sleep at all.
He got out of the tent and went outside the camp to enjoy the wind.
Of course, that was what he thought, but wind rarely blew in the silent Abyss Plane. There was only an occasional breeze at night.
Once there was a strong wind, he had to be careful because it often meant that the Black Tide was coming.
Cyber didn't know what the Black Tide was before, but after communicating with Gan Duo, he knew that it was actually the migration of the Abyss Creatures.
And the Abyss Creatures chased after the Abyssal Power in the sky.
The Abyssal Power was thick, and the dark clouds were thick. The rapidly thick dark clouds changed the air pressure and produced strong winds.
It wasn't an ordinary wind, but a wind that carried the pollution of the Abyss and was often accompanied by fog.
In other words, the gray fog that could accelerate mutation.
Of course, the air pressure theory was just Cyber's own guess based on what Gan Duo said. As a player, he also liked to copy the scientific knowledge of the Bluestar in the Segers World.
Unfortunately, he had been slapped in the face many times, especially when it came to magic power.
After leaving the camp and without the bonfire, Cyber felt a little cold.
He called out the system's backend and planned to play a recorded elven song.
However, when he was choosing the song, he was slightly startled and looked at the hillside in the distance.
On the hillside, a beautiful elven girl was standing and looking at the Cliff of Sorrow surrounded by clouds.
Her delicate side profile shone faintly in the darkness, beautiful and dreamy.
Cyber's heart skipped a beat, and he walked over subconsciously.
Standing on the hillside and looking into the distance was none other than the Demigod Aurora.
Although he had been with her for two months, every time he saw her, Cyber couldn't help but feel a little reserved.
It couldn't be helped, she was simply too dazzling.
This didn't mean that Aurora was glowing. Although it was true that the Demigod had a faint divine light, the most important thing was Aurora's powerful aura and noble temperament.
She was just like her title, like the stars in the sky. Although she emitted a gentle light, it was difficult to get close to her from afar.
In her, Cyber seemed to see thousands of years of loneliness, which caused her to be completely cut off from the mundane world.
Although she was respected, she would always be alone.
"Lady Aurora, aren't you going to rest?"
Cyber asked respectfully as he came in front of Aurora.
However, when he saw the expression on Aurora's face as she looked into the distance, his gaze froze slightly.
Because he saw that Aurora's gaze was full of seriousness.
"Lady Aurora, did you find something wrong?"
Cyber asked anxiously.
Hearing Cyber's words, Aurora retracted her gaze.
She sighed and said,
"Your Excellency Cyber, during tomorrow's climb to the summit, please activate your divine defense barrier."
"Tomorrow … might not be very smooth."
Cyber was slightly stunned, and his expression instantly became serious.
"Lady Aurora, what did you find?"
Aurora was silent for a moment before saying,
"None of the clansmen I sent out to scout in advance returned this evening."
None of them returned …
Cyber's brows furrowed completely.
Along the way, the Frost Elves had suffered the most losses from the scouting team.
However, it was precisely because of the contribution of the scouting team that the entire race was able to avoid danger time and time again and finally reach this day.
But no matter what, there had never been a situation where no one returned.
At this moment, Cyber couldn't help but look in the direction of the Cliff of Sorrows. He didn't know if it was because of Aurora's influence, but he felt that the cloud-covered mountain peak actually looked eerie and mysterious at this moment.
"Lady Aurora, you mean … there might be fatal danger on the mountain? There might be a large number of demons? "
Cyber's expression was serious.
Aurora sighed softly.
"It would be fine if there were a large number of demons entrenched. With your control of the divine defense barrier and my support, it's not impossible to resist."
"But … I'm afraid that it's not a large number of demons, but a powerful enemy secretly watching us."
A powerful enemy …
Cyber's heart skipped a beat.
To be called powerful by Demigod Aurora, it was probably only a demigod-level Demon Monarch or an evil god …
And if there really was such a thing on the mountain, it would be really troublesome.
The divine defense barrier he controlled could withstand the siege of the demon army, but if a demigod-level enemy appeared, it would be completely useless.
And it would be difficult for Aurora, who was suppressed in the Abyss, to defeat the enemy alone.
Everyone below the Mythical stage was an ant. If they really encountered an enemy that Aurora couldn't contend against, it would be really troublesome.
No …
Wait …
Did Aurora just say 'spying in the dark'?!
Cyber suddenly raised his head and looked at the Demigod Aurora, only to discover that she was also looking at him calmly.
"Your Excellency Cyber."
Aurora continued.
"Actually, since two days ago, I vaguely sensed that there was some kind of evil gaze secretly watching us."
"The other party hid very well, but … I've always been very sensitive to auras, so I still sensed it."
"It seems that something has been following us for at least two days."
"The other party's strength is probably not weaker than mine …"
"I was worried that this matter would cause panic in the tribe, so I didn't say it."
"For tonight's ceremony, I wanted to take the opportunity to fish him out by making everyone relax. This was also the purpose of taking the statue from you."
"But … he was more cunning than I thought … He didn't take the bait."
Hearing Aurora's words, Cyber's pupils constricted slightly.
At this moment, his originally relaxed mood sank once again.
However, Aurora didn't finish her words.
"But … this isn't the worst case scenario."
She glanced at the Cliff of Sorrow hidden in the dark clouds, and her gaze became more and more solemn.
"The worst case scenario is that the tribesmen we sent out didn't die in the hands of this evil existence secretly watching us, but met with danger on the mountain …"
"On the mountain …"
Cyber's expression changed slightly, and his mood became even heavier.
He knew what the other party meant.
If the tribesmen who were sent out to investigate encountered danger on the mountain and were collectively wiped out … that meant that there might also be a demigod-level abyssal creature on the mountain, or even an evil god …
"Your Excellency Cyber."
Aurora suddenly spoke again.
Cyber raised his head and looked at the beautiful elven demigod, and realized that she was looking at him gently.
Facing Aurora's clear gaze, Cyber suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and felt that he could vaguely guess what she wanted to say …
Aurora revealed a gentle smile and said in a soft voice, "It's fine.
"If … if we really meet an evil god or an abyss monarch, I'll leave the Frost Tribe to you."
"I'll think of a way to delay the enemy and buy time for everyone."
Looking at the gentle and beautiful elven demigod in front of him, Cyber was stunned, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He was silent for a few seconds, and then squeezed out a smile:
"Lady Aurora, perhaps you're thinking too much …"
"Even if the tribesmen who were sent out to investigate encountered danger and didn't return, it doesn't mean that there must be a terrifying enemy, or perhaps … the enemy secretly watching us might only be a Legend."
When he said this, even he himself felt that it wasn't convincing.
Aurora heard this and slowly shook her head.
He let out a deep sigh and said, "That's right.
"Your Excellency Cyber, I hope so too, but unfortunately, if it's really a Legend, it won't be able to escape my senses."
"Don't look at me like this, I'm still considered a demigod!"
Saying this, she smiled faintly:
"However, Mother Goddess has already recovered, and my greatest wish has already been fulfilled."
"The remaining mission is to protect the Frost Tribe."
"Victory is right in front of us, and for the return of our children, I'm willing to give up everything …"
"This is what I, as a guardian, must do, and it's also what I love to do."
"Your Excellency Cyber."
"If there's really a chance … by then, the tribesmen will be in your hands."
Aurora smiled faintly.
Looking at her warm smile, Cyber opened his mouth, and his heart ached.
He took a deep breath and said:
"Lady Aurora, protecting the Frost Tribe's return is also my responsibility, and I'll do my best!"
Saying this, he forced a smile:
"However, I feel that you don't have to be too pessimistic, Lady Goddess is still waiting for you! Right now, what our Elven Forest lacks the most is a Legend of the Elven Tribe, and everyone is especially looking forward to your return. "
Hearing Cyber's words, Aurora's gaze became blurry, and a trace of yearning flashed across her expression.
However, she quickly revealed a gentle smile:
"I'm also looking forward to it …"
"It's just a pity, perhaps it's already too late."
A gentle breeze blew past, blowing Aurora's divine dress and sleeves.
Along with the breeze, what was revealed was faintly visible layers of black sarcomas hidden under her gorgeous dress …
That was a sign of being corroded by the power of the abyss.
Cyber's expression instantly turned into astonishment.
At this moment, he suddenly realized a problem in his heart.
The tribesmen that Aurora had been protecting would all be contaminated.
Then … how could she, who had been severely injured thousands of years ago, tried her best to escape with her tribesmen, and persevered alone until today, be safe and sound?
