Rather than saying that they were plants, they were more like things that were randomly assembled with many thin and long thorns. When they danced in the air, the area they covered was extremely large. If one was touched slightly, one would be wrapped up and then be pierced to death.
Although the sharpness of the spikes can easily penetrate the human body, their hardness is not very good.
The Eagles waved their weapons and cut off the main trunk covered with spikes. Sticky liquid flowed out of the trunk and sprinkled on the pile of bones.
Although more than 30 people died, the rest of the people have stabilized the formation and resisted the attack of the spiky plants. There will be no more victims.
Law and several people reached out to help and soon cut off all the moving plants.
At this time, the Eagles have lost half of their members. This happened a few minutes after Law dissuaded them. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a step into hell.
There are too many things hidden here that are more dangerous than the desert. People who don't know anything about this place can't expect what will come to them in the next second.
Looking at the corpses pierced by spikes, a dark cloud shrouded the hearts of the Eagles and others.
The pile of bones on the ground is a warning to the latecomers. Now, those who ignore the warning are slowly following in the footsteps of the former.
"Do you want to keep going?"
In the silent atmosphere, someone said with a trembling voice.
Compared to these strange and dangerous things, the members of the Eagle Regiment hoped that the people they were facing were fierce desert bandits.
"Go!"
Ali gritted his teeth.
It's not easy to come here. How can he give up? He wants to unveil the veil of the Millennial Empire. He wants to leave here safely with the treasures linked to the Millennial Empire!
This time, Law just watched silently and followed the team.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, he still wants to go to the tiger. This is the behavior of pursuing something in his heart.
The team continued to go deeper and encountered a lot of fatal potential dangers. Although Law helped, some people died one after another. When the exit finally appeared in front of them, there were only fifteen Eagles left.
Through the mountain road, a large expanse of green came into everyone's eyes.
The sky is still covered by dark clouds, but the light is much brighter than outside, about the same as a cloudy day.
An imperial capital surrounded by a valley is located on a large grassland. Yes, it is a grassland!
Before coming, who would have thought that there would be a grassland in the valley? This was a desert!
Everyone, including Law, was stunned and stood at the exit of the mountain path for a long time without speaking.
The height of the grass on the grassland was very low, almost reaching their ankles. At a glance, they could see several lakes and towering rocks. There were also many places that were dazzling white. Those were skeletons, both human and animal.
The skeleton was a warning. It meant that there was still fatal danger hidden under this peaceful grassland.
The people of the Eagles stopped and said nothing. Law's eyes crossed the bones on the grassland and fell on the imperial capital in the distance. It was an ancient city entangled by many green vines. Even from a distance, one could feel the heavy momentum.
He touched the dead phone in his pocket and felt regretful. At the same time, he thought that this was an environment suitable for plants to grow. Even if there was not enough sunlight, there were still grasslands full of vitality.
"Commander."
Someone was the first to regain his senses.
"Let's go."
Ali pursed his lips, gripped his spear tightly, and led the remaining people down the slope towards the grassland.
The Thousand Year Imperial Capital was right in front of him, and he was only one step away!
Some excitement diluted the sadness in the hearts of the Eagles and the others.
William held his sword in front of him, his face filled with melancholy that couldn't be dispelled. He looked exceptionally complicated.
Law and Bohara walked side by side and followed the team closely. Ge Er unknowingly leaned towards Law.
"Why are you here?" Ge Er said in a voice so low that only Law and Bohara could hear it.
On the way here, Ge Er saw Law doing his best to help the Eagles. Hypothetically speaking, if Law hadn't joined, Ge Er was certain that this trip would definitely have ended in failure. They wouldn't even have been able to touch the periphery of the forbidden zone.
Ali definitely knew this very well, so from beginning to end, he never asked Law's intentions and gave him unreserved trust. Of course, this also had to do with the fact that there was no conflict of interest.
"Unknown," Law replied briefly.
Ge Er fell silent when she heard that. Although she knew that Law was more like a Food Hunter, she still silently assigned Law the identity of a Ruin Hunter.
There were many skeletons of creatures on the grassland, but everything was calm along the way. As they got closer and closer to the Imperial Capital, everyone became even more vigilant.
Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters …
After walking out of the grassland and arriving at the flat ground outside the Imperial Capital, the members of the Eagle Regiment heaved a sigh of relief. They turned back to look at the peaceful grassland. After all, what had happened on the mountain path had left them with too much psychological trauma.
The flat ground was about two hundred meters away from the Imperial Capital. It was rather empty, and the Imperial Capital was actually an ancient city without walls. Thinking of the uniqueness of the terrain, they accepted it.
Just as everyone was about to enter the Imperial Capital that was entangled by many Climbing Vines, several figures suddenly appeared from the buildings, causing them to stop abruptly.
"Living people?"
Law frowned and muttered to himself.
.....
There were four mountain paths in the valley — north, south, east, and west. Law's group took the east path, and the desert bandits, who had also passed through the sandstorm, took the west path, which was the opposite direction of the Eagles.
Geralt might have had more accurate information than the Eagles. He had set off from Red Rock Canyon with five hundred captives. When he arrived at the forbidden zone, there were only three hundred captives left. These captives were used as cannon fodder to cross the mountain path.
The desert bandits had also encountered fatal threats such as Tibetan Seed Flowers, Black Compound Eye Soft Bodies, and Spiky Plants that the Eagles had encountered.
However, compared to the heavy losses of the Eagles, the desert bandits had lost less than ten people crossing the mountain path. Compared to the base of more than three thousand desert bandits, it was pitifully small.
They drove the captives covered in kerosene in batches ahead. Once there was a change, they would shoot out rockets and ignite the kerosene on the captives to avoid danger.
Just like that, the desert bandits stepped on the charred corpses amidst the miserable screams of the captives and safely passed through the hidden dangers of the mountain path.
Until they got out of the mountain path, the number of captives they brought was reduced to fifty, and Milia was lucky enough to survive.
When the desert bandits selected captives to step on the mine, they first chose those who were like frosted eggplants as the vanguard, so Milia, who was in a better state and spirit, was not turned and stayed at the end.
Through the valley, the desert bandits also saw the grassland that was incompatible with the desert. Even the largest oasis would have a lot of sand in the green.
