Dumb felt warmth in his heart. He turned around to look at Xuanyue's blurry figure and swore in his heart that no matter what, he would definitely ensure everyone's safe return. After leaving the crowd, Dumb had already unleashed his full speed. He dashed downwards like a meteor. Suddenly, his surroundings lit up. He realized that he had already left the thick layer of green poisonous fog. The poisonous fog in the air obviously couldn't catch up with his full speed. Delighted, Dumb hurriedly looked down at the ground. A large number of figures were swaying on the ground, as if they would fall at any time. Dumb activated his martial arts and was surprised to find that there was a large group of zombies below him. The flesh and blood of these zombies had already rotted. Green liquid was flowing on the grayish-white rotten flesh. Their eyes were flickering with faint green light and they looked dull. The green fog above their heads seemed to be the evaporation of the green blood flowing on their bodies. Some of the especially tall zombies seemed to have discovered his presence and raised their heads to look at him. Seeing such a scene, Dumb couldn't help but feel strange. Since entering the Death Mountain Range until now, they had encountered a total of three groups of undead creatures. They were bone birds, skeletons, and zombies. These three types of undead creatures seemed to be separated from each other. There wasn't a single skeleton in this zombie's territory, and when the skeletons attacked the crowd earlier, the bone birds also retreated. This seemed to be different from what the great elf envoy Audi had said! Why were the boundaries of the undead creatures so neatly divided?
At this time, the zombies had already discovered Dumb and raised their heads one after another. Perhaps it was because they felt the vigorous vitality contained in Dumb's body, the zombies suddenly jumped up. Some zombies actually jumped vertically and attacked Dumb. Fortunately for Dumb, although zombies could jump ten meters high, they didn't have the ability to fly. Although they looked terrifying, they couldn't pose a threat to him. Only those especially tall zombies would occasionally spit out a green liquid that seemed to have some power. After all, their spitting ability wasn't strong, so it was impossible to hurt Dumb who was thousands of meters above the ground.
During his observation, Dumb discovered that although these zombies could jump very high, they seemed to be much clumsier than the skeleton soldiers. However, the green liquid on their bodies obviously contained a huge poison. Dumb identified the direction according to the shadow of the mountain peak and didn't pay too much attention to these zombies. Through the connection between the Dragon God's and Phoenix Blood, he quickly rushed towards the green fog. When he returned to the group, he couldn't help but be shocked. The Light of Purification used by Xuanyue had already been corroded to only a foot. Outside the Light of Purification, the group secretary had become a dark green. The poisonous fog seemed to condense into a liquid. Even Oliveira's and Kino's magic had no effect on it. It was all up to Xuanyue to hold on bitterly. Due to the excessive consumption of magic power, her pretty face looked a little pale. It was obvious that she couldn't hold on any longer. The silver solidified energy suddenly grew under Dumb's urging, and instantly took over Xuanyue's defensive task, blocking the poisonous fog that was about to condense outside. The solidified energy was, after all, condensed from vital energy. Although it would also be corroded, with Dumb's power, it wouldn't be dangerous for the time being.
Seeing Dumb's return, Xuanyue was obviously relieved. She panted and said, "Fortunately you're back, or else I wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer. I was even ready to use space positioning magic. Next time, don't be separated from everyone. What if you get separated from us? "
Although Xuanyue's words contained a hint of reproach, Dumb still felt warmth in his heart. After transferring a stream of vital energy into his body, he said, "Let's not talk about this first. I won't be separated from you guys again. The valley below is full of zombies. The poisonous fog is emitted from their bodies. Maintainer, Kino, quickly set up two layers of barriers around the Light of Purification. We'll rush in that direction. Xiao Xie, full speed ahead. "Under Dumb's command, everyone rushed into the depths of the green fog.
Dumb actually commanded the Holy Evil to descend, trying to pass under the green fog. However, the Holy Evil was carrying so many people, so its speed was much slower than Dumb's. The green fog seemed to have a soul, following them up and down as they moved. Dumb knew that to get out of the green fog, they would probably have to rush out of the area where the zombies were. He continuously slashed forward with his vital energy, splitting the poisonous fog into two sides, protecting the Holy Evil as it rushed out of the green fog.
After some time, when Dumb felt that his vital energy was showing signs of drying up, and when the mana of Xuanyue, Oliveira, and Kino was almost depleted, the Holy Evil finally rushed out of the green fog and flew to the top of a tall mountain. Because of the nervousness, even Yanshi and the others, who did not do anything, could not help but sweat profusely. Everyone stood on the top of the mountain, panting.
Kino wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Boss Dumb, what the hell is down there? The green fog is really thick. I'm afraid it's not possible for us to rush back now. "
Dumb nodded solemnly and said, "Every corner of the Death Mountain Range is full of danger. In the valley we just passed through, there are tens of thousands of zombies. Those zombies look harder to deal with than skeletons, but fortunately, they can't fly."
Xuanyue said angrily, "What's so good about that! Although they can't fly, the green fog is the most powerful killer in the air. It's really difficult to deal with, and its corrosive power is surprisingly strong. Even the Light of Purification, which is used to detoxify the poison, can't deal with it. Let's rest here for a while. We have to recover some strength first. "
Dumb thought for a while and said, "The Death Mountain Range now seems to be very different from when Great Elf Ambassador Audi entered a hundred years ago. Didn't you notice? Now, the undead creatures are not mixed together like what Great Elf Ambassador Audi said. Instead, they are clearly separated and will not rush into the territory of humans. It seems that Luoshui was right. The headquarters of the dark forces might really be here. These undead creatures are probably controlled by them. From the outside to the inside, I'm afraid that the enemies we encounter will be stronger and stronger. The hiding place that Great Elf Ambassador Audi mentioned might not even exist anymore. Yue, take out the map and show me. "
Xuanyue listened to Dumb's analysis and nodded with appreciation. She unfolded the map and said, "You are indeed much smarter than before. In the past, the person who analyzed and gave the voice should be Brother Yanshi."
Dumb was stunned. He scratched his head and said, "Really? I just had an idea in my mind, so I said it out loud. Look. " Then, he pointed at the map of the Death Mountain Range and said, "Although the mountains in the Death Mountain Range are arranged irregularly, generally speaking, they are formed by ring-shaped mountain areas. We may have just passed through three mountainous regions, which are guarded by Bone Birds, Skeleton Soldiers, and Zombies respectively. " After measuring with his hands, he continued, "From the outermost to the inside, we have to pass through about 12 ring-shaped mountain areas. I'm afraid that the danger we will encounter in front of us will be greater. We don't know what the next wave of undead creatures will be. "
Yanshi nodded and said, "Dumb is right. It should be like this. The Death Mountain Range must be controlled by the Dark Saint Religion. All the undead creatures here are organized. If it wasn't for the Holy Evil's super flying ability, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to pass through the skeletons. We still have to pass through nine mountain ranges before we can enter the center of the mountain range. I'm afraid the danger will increase. There are many undead creatures, and they are not afraid of death. Once we meet one with a strong single target attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it. Since it is still safe here, let's take a good rest and adjust our condition before we continue forward. "
Oliveira sighed and said, "I'm afraid we won't have this chance. Look, is it safe here? "Everyone was shocked and looked down the mountain. They saw a large number of densely packed spiders the size of washbasins constantly climbing up the mountain. Their bodies were all red, and there were eight eyes on their backs. Their bodies were shrouded in a layer of black gas, and their eight long legs with black hair moved quickly, surrounding the group from all directions. Dumb looked at the Holy Evil helplessly and said, "I'm afraid we still have to fly! I hope there are no enemies in the air for the fourth stage. " “
Xuanyue pulled on Dumb's collar and said, "I'm afraid that's just your dream. Look up in the sky. " Due to the continuous danger they encountered, Dumb's heart was no longer as calm as before, so he did not notice anything strange. When he heard Xuanyue's words, he looked up and couldn't help but tremble. He cried out involuntarily, "Flying spiders." It turned out that there were already thousands of spiders the same size as the ones on the ground a hundred meters above them, except that they had a pair of wings on their backs and their bodies were blue.
The sudden appearance of the red and blue spiders weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. At that moment, Dumby, Mystic Moon, Kinu, and Oliveira were all exhausted. They didn't have a shred of confidence that they could fight against thousands of spiders that didn't look weak at all. From the spiders' cold eyes, they could tell that these undead creatures wouldn't stop until they completely devoured everyone.
Xuanyue shouted, "Everyone gather together and get ready to use teleportation magic." At her call, everyone except the Holy Evil gathered together. Dumb said, "Don't rush to use teleportation magic. Let's see if we can deal with these spiders first. At least there aren't that many of them. " As he said this, he punched out, and the surging vital energy collided with the two blue spiders that fell from the sky. Just as Dumb's white vital energy collided with the two spiders, they suddenly spat out a large amount of blue spider silk, which shrouded everyone with a chilling aura. Fighting Qi was connected to Dumby's aura, so Dumby could clearly feel that the spider silk was very sticky. Unexpectedly, it had successfully attached itself to the fighting Qi that he sent out. Moreover, the spider silk had very good ductility. Even if the fighting Qi expanded, it didn't have the slightest trace of breaking. What surprised Dumby the most was that the spider silk contained an icy aura. He believed that if it really wrapped itself around his body, even if it was him, it would be very difficult for him to escape. Wrapped in the spider silk, the vital energy still hit the two blue spiders. Their bodies were abnormally strong. Although Dumb had expended a lot of energy, a casual punch was still enough to break a stone. However, when the vital energy hit the two blue spiders, they actually used the force to float away. Although they let out a painful cry, their lives were not in danger.
"These spiders are ice-type. Kino, hurry, cast a fire spell on them. A normal fire meteor will do. "Dumb anxiously shouted.
Kino did not dare to be negligent. The level three fire meteor was very fast in his hands. A large red fireball with a diameter of three centimeters instantly covered the area above everyone. It rushed towards the blue spiders in the air. The blue spiders seemed to feel the threat coming from below, and slowed down their speed. Almost all of the blue spiders did the same action, spitting out silk. Large amounts of blue spider silk interweaved in the air to form a large blue net that pressed down. The fire meteors that Kino shot out turned into steam after hitting the blue net, and did not pose any threat to the blue net at all. The blue net quickly followed the blue spiders and covered them. At the same time as the blue net descended, there were already more than ten red spiders climbing up the mountain. The fierce eyes on their backs flashed, as if they were worried about the blue net in the air, and did not attack the group.
Dumb secretly sighed. Xuanyue said: "Activate the spatial positioning. Let's go back first. " As he spoke, he kept the Holy Evil back into the Blood of the Dragon God. A white light flashed, and as the blue spider net floated down, everyone disappeared from where they stood. A few greedy red spiders were caught in the blue net, and a burst of smoke rose. Under the ice net that gathered the energy of thousands of blue spiders, they were completely frozen. The rest of the red spiders quickly retreated, and left the mountain peak at lightning speed. The blue spiders pounced on the frozen red spiders, and in an instant, devoured the red spiders' corpses and ice. Only when there was nothing left did they spread their wings and fly away from the mountain peak. The mountain peak regained its desolate calm, and there was no more sound. It was as if the massacre had never happened.
A light flashed, and under the shocked gaze of Queen Elves, everyone returned to the Ancient Elven Tree. They sat in the center of the magical formation, and panted heavily.
Queen Elves quickly scanned the group, and only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was missing. She hurriedly asked: "How is it? Is the Death Mountain Range very dangerous? "
Oliveira said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the positioning spell was activated. Otherwise, we would have become the Specter Spiders' lunch."
Dumb said: "Auntie Queen, we have exhausted a lot of energy. Let's take a rest first, and then I will tell you about the situation in the Death Mountain Range."
Queen Elves said: "Alright, you guys rest first. It's fine as long as everyone is fine." The group did not leave the Ancient Elven Tree, and directly sat outside the magical formation to cultivate and recover. The one who exhausted the most energy was Xuanyue. Not only did she have to maintain the connection with the magical formation, but she also had to fight against the Specter Spiders. It took her half a day, and she only recovered when night fell.
With a heavy heart, everyone ate the fruits that the Sidhe Queen had ordered people to prepare for them. Their faces were gloomy. Even though they were safe now, they had yet to recover from the dangers that came one after another in the Ghost Mountains. Audi and Queen Elves looked at each other, and then said to Dumb: "How is the situation? Did you guys find the cave that I was hiding in? Why did you guys come back so quickly? "
Dumby sighed and described everything he had encountered on this trip in detail. After listening to him, Audi could not help but fall into deep thought. After a while, he said: "The situation that you guys described is indeed different from what I encountered before. At that time, I was ambushed more than ten miles into the Death Mountain Range, but all kinds of Specter Spiders were mixed together. There were Bone Birds, Skeletons, Zombies, and Specter Knights that you guys have seen before. These should be lower level Specter Creatures. As for the two colored spiders that you guys saw at the end, I have never seen them before. They should be stronger Specter Creatures. I am afraid that the Dark Saint Religion has changed the situation in the Death Mountain Range. According to Dumb's judgment, the Death Mountain Range is dominated by 12 kinds of Specter Creatures, and I am afraid that it will be very difficult to deal with. Just the fourth layer alone has forced you guys to retreat, so the Specter Creatures at the back must be unbelievably strong. If this is really the case, it is impossible for you guys to achieve the goal of this trip! "
Dumb shook his head and said: "I think the main reason why we failed the first time we entered the Death Mountain Range was because our method was wrong. We should not have been entangled with those Specter Creatures. If we had charged at the fastest speed, even if we were entangled by those two kinds of spiders, we should still have the ability to fight back. The next time we enter, we will directly charge towards there. We will see what exactly is inside. Moreover, it is not a complete failure this time. I realized that the Specter Creatures in the Death Mountain Range are more effective against the enemies on the ground, because they can combine the power of the air and the ground. But if we only use the power of the air, we can at least reduce the resistance by half. Next time, we might as well charge directly from the air. "
Yanshi sighed and said: "Dumb, before you woke up just now, I have already discussed with everyone. The next time we go to the Death Mountain Range, I, Yan Li, Yue Ji, and Zhuo Yun will not participate."
Dumb was shocked and said: "Why? Big Brother, I know you won't back down, why do you want to give up? "
Yanshi shook his head with a bitter smile and said: "I don't want to give up, but our participation will only be a burden to you guys. Only when we face those powerful Specter Creatures will we know how insignificant our ability is. If there are no burdens like us, you guys will have an easier time moving forward. Don't worry, we will be fine. We will just stay here and guard the formation. "
Yue Ji looked at Kino with a complicated expression and said: "My bow and arrows are almost useless against those Specter Creatures. Big Brother Yanshi is right, we better not participate in it. "
Dumb and Xuanyue looked at each other. They both knew that Yanshi was right. In the process of entering the Death Mountain Range for the first time, they were indeed of no help. However, looking at their silent and dejected looks because they were not strong enough, Dumb also felt bad in his heart, but he did not know how to comfort them.
Xuanyue held his big brother's big hand and said: "Alright, let's not talk about this first. Let's first analyze the situation of the enemies we have encountered and the way to deal with them."
Oliveira said: "We have encountered a total of four types of Specter Creatures this time. Those bone birds are the weakest and can almost be ignored. As long as Boss Xuanyue uses a few light magic, I think they will not be able to pose a threat to us at all. As for the Skeleton Soldiers, they are also very easy to deal with. As long as we fly in the air, only those Skeleton Soldiers that can fly can be of use. The next time we go, as long as we repel or destroy them, we will be able to pass the second stage easily. This time in the Death Mountain Range, the real threat started from the green poisonous fog emitted by the zombies. We used up too much of our magic power there, so when we encountered the two-colored spiders, we did not have any extra skills to fight against them. Therefore, the problem we have to solve is how to break through the zombies. "
Yanshi said: "Villa is right, the green poisonous fog is very corrosive, it is very difficult to withstand it. If we had used all our strength when we first encountered the green poisonous fog, perhaps we could have reduced our consumption by quite a lot. " Dumb's eyes lit up and said: "I have an idea. The limit of my flying using battle energy is about a thousand meters, but the Holy Evil can reach more than three thousand meters. If we directly fly to three thousand meters after dealing with the Skeleton Soldiers, and then use all our strength to advance towards the Central Mountains of Death, not only can we successfully pass through the zombies, but we can also shake off the spiders. At the very least, we will only have to face one type of spider. According to my guess, the two types of spiders should have the ability of ice and fire respectively, but their spider silk is not pure ice and fire energy, it contains the aura of death. If we fight them head-on, I am confident that I can rush out, but I am not sure that I can destroy them. Moreover, we do not know if the Ice and Fire Spiders have the ability to regenerate. Since we are here to explore the situation, we should try to move forward as little as possible. This way, we should be able to avoid a lot of trouble. "
Xuanyue: "This idea is feasible, let's do it this way. Tomorrow morning, we will control the Death Mountain Range again. It is still early, we can try a few more times, there will be a way. However, I am more afraid of the creatures behind the undead spiders, I really do not know what surprises await us. I am afraid that the powerful undead creatures behind us will be even more difficult to deal with. "
Dumby said gravely, "That's for sure. Let's go, let's rest in the tree house first, and leave tomorrow morning. This time, we will try to rush as far as possible, and do not use positioning magic easily. "
The Death Mountain Range was still silent. On the top of the mountain where Dumb and the others had escaped using space magic, there were a few people covered in black clothes. They looked around suspiciously, and one of them said in a low voice: "I don't know what the purpose of these invaders is to break into this place, this is not something that ordinary people can do."
"Yes, these invaders are very strong, and some of them are good at light magic. The bone birds were seriously injured, almost half of them completely died because the undead fog was destroyed by the holy energy. What I am curious about is, how did these invaders get through the skeletons and zombies? The zombies and skeletons are almost unharmed! This is simply impossible, even if they can fly, it is impossible for them to rush here so easily. Could it be that the Pope of the Holy Hall came in person? "
"It is possible. I am afraid that the people of the Holy Hall have long been aware of the existence of the crisis, so it is not surprising that they sent people to explore the Death Mountain Range. Forget it, these people have died in the hands of the Bipolar Undead Spiders anyway. If the Holy Hall wants to send people to explore the Death Mountain Range, then they are overestimating themselves. Not to mention humans, even if the bullshit god they believe in comes in person, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to break through the 12 Calamities of the Undead. I am sure that no matter how many experts they send, they will all die. Let's go, there are still a lot of things to do. "The black fog rose into the sky, and the black figures wrapped in the fog disappeared into thin air.
At night, Dumb and Xuanyue sat by the Elven Lake. The moonlight fell on the clear Elven Lake through the dense trees. Under the contrast of the water fog, it was breathtakingly beautiful. No matter who was surrounded by this beautiful scenery, they would feel very comfortable.
Xuanyue leaned her head on Dumb's chest and said, "Dumb, do you still have the confidence to complete this mission?"
Dumb hugged Xuanyue's delicate body tightly and said, "Of course, but we have only met with a little difficulty, we can definitely overcome it."
Xuanyue faintly sighed and said, "However, I am really worried now. If the Death Mountain Range really has a hundred meter long Bone Dragon like in the legends, how are we going to deal with it? Even if you are already one of the top warriors of the continent, I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with such a powerful enemy. Are you really confident?"
Dumb took a deep breath and gently kissed Xuanyue's beautiful blue hair, then said, "I am confident. As long as you are by my side, no matter what I do, I will be full of strength. Oh right, Yue, there is something I want to discuss with you, you must promise me. "
Xuanyue stared blankly and said, "What is it? Say it. "
Dumb insisted, "No, you have to promise me first, then I will say it."
Xuanyue giggled and said, "You're so annoying. Say it quickly, don't tell me that I will promise you anything? What if you don't want me anymore? "
Dumby said, "Why wouldn't I want you? In this world, you are the most important treasure to me, I will never, ever part with you. Even after a hundred years, when you have wrinkled skin and white hair, my love for you will never change. "
Listening to Dumb's firm and affectionate words, Xuanyue couldn't help but be infatuated. She stretched out her hand and caressed Dumb's resolute face, then said, "Yue loves you too! Say it, I will promise you. "
Dumb hesitated for a moment, then said, "If we meet an enemy we can't fight against inside the Death Mountain Range, I'm afraid they won't give us the chance to use the teleportation spell, and it might even affect the success rate of the teleportation spell. At that time, I hope you can think of the bigger picture and immediately take everyone away from there. I will hold off the enemy's attack. I believe that even if it's a hundred-meter-long bone dragon, it won't be able to kill me in a short time. Yue, promise me, the safety of you and your friends is the most important to me. "
Xuanyue's delicate body trembled, and she suddenly sat up from Dumb's embrace. She looked at Dumb with red eyes and said, "No, I won't promise you. Everything else is fine, but I definitely won't agree to this."
"Yue, don't be agitated. Listen to me, in an extremely dangerous situation, this is the only way to ensure our survival. Only when you are safe, can I completely throw away my worries! Moreover, this is not only related to you, but also to our friends. Even if you don't care about your own life and death, are you willing to let them die with us? Promise me, you must leave first at that time. Don't worry, with my speed, if I go all out, I'm afraid no living creature can catch up with me. The inexhaustible nature of the vital energy should be able to support me to escape back. Yue Yue, I'm doing this for everyone's sake! "
Xuanyue's heart palpitated. Listening to Dumb's words, she seemed to have an ominous premonition. She shook her head hard, and crystal clear tears flowed down like a kite with a broken string. She suddenly threw herself into Dumb's embrace, tightly hugged his neck, and murmured, "No, no, no matter what, I'm not willing to leave you!"
Dumb gently stroked Xuanyue's beautiful hair, and said softly, "This is just my guess about what might happen, it might not really happen. You don't need to be too nervous, we just need to be careful. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't let you leave first. How can I bear to be separated from you? Even if it's temporary. "
"It definitely won't happen, it definitely won't happen …" The exhaustion and nervousness of the day made Xuanyue tired, and she gradually fell asleep in Dumb's warm embrace. Dumb looked at Xuanyue's beautiful sleeping face, and his heart was filled with warmth. He was already satisfied to have such a wife. He had to conquer the Death Mountains. For the sake of mankind, and for the sake of his and Yue's peaceful and comfortable life in the future, all he could do now was to give it his all. Dumby slowly closed its eyes as it basked in the beautiful scenery of the Elf Lake that was like a fairyland.
At the first glimmer of dawn, a figure appeared in the sky above the Death Mountains. The gray figure maintained an extremely fast speed and headed towards the depths of the Death Mountains. This black figure was the Holy Evil. And Dumb, Xuanyue, Kino, and Oliveira were all on its back. In order to prevent its vitality from leaking out, Oliveira used wind magic to completely wrap the Holy Evil's body. Not only did it increase its speed, but it also made it fly like a gust of wind. In a nervous and excited mood, they successfully passed through the territory of the bone bird and the skeleton, and did not encounter any obstacles. Looking down from a height of three thousand meters, the Death Mountains were shrouded in gray clouds, and it was impossible to see what was happening inside.
