Chapter 76 Chapter 73 Canyon

The three of them set out on the road and continued walking along Dayuan Lake to the north of the forest. The forest in front of them seemed vast and endless. The three of them walked along the lakeside, and finally reached the north bank of Dayuan Lake after two days of hard trekking. Du Wei took out the map of the Bingfeng Forest presented by the leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, Beinrich, and looked at it.On this map, the south bank of Dayuan Lake is described in detail, where it is relatively safe and where there are more monsters. On the north shore of Dayuan Lake, the markings are relatively simple: the large blanks on the map simply read the word "forest", and the only direction of progress in it is also based on the research of Captain Beinrich. It was written based on the information left by many previous adventurers.

"Okay, if we continue to go north, I think it's best to follow this road on the map." Du Wei unfolded the map and showed the two of them: "Look, this is probably the only road that has been walked by people in two hundred years." The place, follow here... This direction, just go up to the left at our current location... Keep going north, we will pass through a safe area. The map says that there are fewer monsters in this place, but after walking for two days, we will Go to a canyon, oh, this canyon has no name, but it is clearly written that the place is dangerous, and there will be high-level monsters haunting it. And if you go further north... it is completely unknown."

Dardanelle looked at the map seriously, but Hussein looked indifferent. "Let's decide, my companions, how do we go?" Du Wei said with a smile: "Should we follow the map and follow the canyon? Or just go northward aimlessly? Where do we go?" where?" When he said this, Du Wei was probably looking at Hussein.He felt that the old magician's trip to the Bingfeng Forest must have a purpose, and the holy knight who betrayed the temple should know the destination of the trip.They didn't talk about it before, but when they got here, they should talk about it. But Du Wei was disappointed, and Hussein said indifferently, "Whatever, as long as you go straight north. As for which way to go, you can decide."

"Let's go to the canyon." Dardanelle pondered for a while, and put forward his own suggestion: "No one has ever been to other places, who knows what's in those places. Only this canyon has been walked by people before, although There is not much information left, but at least we can be prepared." "Okay, then it's decided." Du Wei put away the map and said with a smile, "Let's head towards the canyon!" He seemed indifferent, after all, he was accompanied by the number one knight in the mainland, and there would be a top super magician following him at any time, so even if he encountered any danger, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Heading north across Great Round Lake, the weather was already unbearably cold.It can be said that if it was Du Wei's previous physique, he would have froze to death on the road.But now, he practiced the new routine that Hussain had taught him several times a day, enough to keep out the cold. And Hussein, relying on his fighting spirit, is not afraid of the cold. On the contrary, Dardanelle, although he is a strong warrior, but after all, his strength is only a third-level warrior, seems to be gradually unable to support. The north shore of Dayuan Lake walked into the forest. The weather here was very strange. There was no wind in the forest, and the surrounding was silent, but the snow under the feet was so thick that it made people feel numb!

Sometimes, if you accidentally step into a snow nest, the thick snow can almost bury a person's waist! Moreover, the snow here is not only very thick, but also very hard!When we camped these two days, when we dug up the snow on the ground and pitched our tents, the land was almost invisible under the snow!Several times they dug up the snow, but there was a hard layer of ice underneath! "Damn... I suspect that there is no soil on the ground here! It's all ice! How do these trees grow on this kind of ice? Could it be that these trees can grow in the ice?" Dardanelle sighed .

Du Wei frowned, and he whispered: "By the way, do you feel... Ever since I left the lakeside and walked into this forest, I always have a strange illusion... It's very quiet here, with almost no sound, but I feel like It feels like we are being stared at by something all the time... Do you feel this way?" Dardanelle shook his head, he said no.Hussein seemed to smile, and then the knight glanced at Du Wei: "Oh? Did you feel it too?" Du Wei relied on his strong mental power and keen senses, while the knight relied on his transcendent strength.Only Dardanelle, who is relatively low in strength, is only an intermediate warrior and does not have such a strong sensory ability.

"Are we being targeted by some monster?" Du Wei frowned. "Maybe not one, but a group." Hussein said lightly: "Whatever it is! They'd better not show up. If they do, we'll just have some extra dinner." Du Wei had no doubts about Hussein's words. In fact, along the way, along the Dayuan Lake, the three of them were attacked by monsters more than once. In this icy and snowy place where food is scarce, the level of monsters is also very high. Some bloodthirsty monsters will even attack them recklessly for a little prey - even at night, Du Wei sprinkled dragon feces around the tent , are gradually less effective.

The monsters here seem to have relatively high intelligence, and the dung of the giant dragon can't scare them away. Although they dare not attack directly, they will launch some temptations. One night, in the middle of the night, three earth dragons emerged from the ground under the tent to attack them.This kind of earth dragon is not a real dragon, but a small animal that looks like the pangolin that Du Wei had seen in his previous life, but this kind of thing can make people very headache! They can freely dig holes under the frozen soil and ice layers that are harder than iron under the snow here, and the speed is very fast!These guys are covered with a layer of hard scales... Just ask Dardanelle how hard it is.Because in a night attack, Dardaniel, a third-level warrior, took a scimitar and slashed on the back of an earth dragon with all his strength. As a result, the earth dragon just shook its body, and Dardaniel The scimitar in Er's hand has been broken in two!

These earth dragons have extremely powerful defensive capabilities, and their sharp claws and teeth are even more terrifying!Can easily bite off hard metal!You know, they rely on their sharp claws and teeth to make holes under the frozen soil and ice! This kind of small thing is not big, but its speed is amazing, almost inferior to a knife or a gun, but if you are caught by them, or take a small bite, it can kill you! If it weren't for the fact that there was a strong man like Hussein in the team, Du Wei had no doubt that he and Dardanelle would have been finished. That night, Dardanelle slashed at an earth dragon with a knife, and his knife broke. The earth dragon just swayed and jumped on Dardanelle's body with claws that were strong enough to dig through the frozen ground. It had already been placed on Dardanelle's shoulder, easily piercing through his leather armor, and even piercing through the bones of his shoulder!

At this time, Hussein, the number one knight on the mainland, made a move.He swung an old long sword with a faint golden arrogance. This kind of pale golden fighting spirit was extremely dazzling in the night. In such a brilliance, three extremely hard earth dragons , Twice, decapitated at the same time!The three earth dragons were broken into six pieces, while the one on Dardanelle was still lying on his shoulders, but its head had already rolled in the snow. This evening, the three enjoyed a BBQ meal. After the hard scales on the outside of the earth dragon were broken, the meat of these little creatures was also very tough, and they couldn't be bitten at all... But their internal organs were very delicious. Hussein even peeled off the scales of the three earth dragons, put them in a heavy bag, and gave them to Du Wei: "Use these things to make armor. They are very light, but harder than metal. Should be good material." The knight even pulled out the tendons of three earth dragons, the tendons were extremely tough, and he used this thing to exchange the bow for Dardanelle's bow.The bow made of earth dragon's tendons is several times better than ordinary iron tire bows! Dardanelle has no hatred for Hussein anymore, although Hussein almost killed him, but now this knight not only saved his life, but also bought himself a good bow... Anyway, after all, But I owe this knight. Hussein still looked indifferent and didn't talk much. When he was free, he folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest. Dardanelle was embarrassed to talk to Hussein, but Du Wei didn't care. He was full of questions and could only get the answer from the knight. "Hey." Du Wei walked to Hussein and sat down: "How is the wound? I still have some ice berries here." Hussein looked up at Du Wei: "Thank you, but no need. If you eat too much of that kind of thing, you will become addicted. Besides, I ate ice berries that day, and I already said something that shouldn't be said. Now I can I can support it, I don’t need these things anymore.” Du Wei smiled, and then said in a low voice: "I noticed that your vindictiveness... is golden. I have heard that only the vindictiveness of a paladin is golden. A strong knight, look at the color of your fighting spirit now... you are already a paladin, right?" Hussein raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile: "Paladin... If I were already a paladin, I wouldn't have so many injuries on my body." "Aren't you a paladin?" Du Wei was a little surprised: he killed two ninth-level knights of the same level as himself, and also killed a top magician (judge) in the temple. I know what level of magician the presiding judge is, but I think there must be at least level eight or above.In addition, there is an eighth-level holy knight, plus several intermediate knights... Hussein has such terrifying strength, hasn't he reached the realm of a paladin? "I'm still at level nine." Hussein sighed: "I feel that I'm almost at the threshold of a breakthrough, but I'm still a small step away... This step is clearly in front of me, but I I don't know how to get over it. Maybe today, maybe I won't be able to pass this level in my life, only God knows." Du Wei took a deep breath: "So... what kind of paladin is it?" "I don't know." Hussein shook his head, and his eyes were also a little confused: "But what I know is that there is an insurmountable gap between the holy rank and the ordinary rank. Ordinary knights, whether they are eighth rank or ninth rank , although the strength varies greatly, it is not impossible to win the challenge of leapfrogging. For example, a ninth-level knight is stronger than an eighth-level knight, but if you can gather a few eighth-level knights together, you can defeat a ninth-level knight But the holy rank... that is a realm that I don't know... According to ancient legends, only the holy rank cannot be challenged by leapfrogging. Only knights can be your opponents, and knights lower than you, even if they gather a lot of ninth-level knights, they will never be able to defeat a paladin! There is only one level difference between the ninth-level and the holy knights, but this A level represents a huge, unbridgeable gap!" "..." Du Wei didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking about something. "Sometimes, I feel that I am already very strong." Hussein said with a wry smile: "In the decisive battle with Knight Commander Luke and Knight Commander Kaili, although I am stronger than them, I can deal with it at most. The joint attack of the two of them has reached my limit. But if I were a paladin..." Hussein shook his head, closed his mouth, and did not continue. Seeing that Hussein stopped talking, Du Wei knew that this guy didn't want to continue the conversation, so he could only sigh, shook his head, and went to the side to help Dardanelle light the fire. The next afternoon, the trio finally approached the last marked spot on the map: canyon. In fact, the terrain of this place is very simple. There are two hillsides in front of you. Yellow rocks are exposed on the steep hillsides. The rocks are covered with ice and snow. That "canyon". The three of them walked to the entrance of the canyon, but they were all stunned. Because at the entrance of this canyon, on both sides, as if on purpose, there are two stone sculptures standing! The one on the left is a human knight, about the size of an ordinary person. This stone carving is extremely exquisite, and the carving skills can be called master level!The long sword in the knight's hand was still waving, the expression on his face was angry, his eyes wide open, his expression was lifelike, almost extremely realistic!The armor on his body was a little broken, but even every broken gap was carved extremely finely! Gently wipe off a layer of floating snow on it, and even the patterns on the exposed knight's armor are so delicate and clear! ! Du Wei looked at this too realistic stone statue, and suddenly his expression changed! "This... doesn't seem to be a stone carving! It's not carved! It's a real person, petrified!" Soon, Du Wei and Dardanelle glanced at each other, and they both uttered a sentence from their mouths at the same time! "Golden-eyed python!" Hussein looked gloomy, he suddenly pulled out his long sword, frowned and said in a low voice: "Hey! I have that nasty feeling again! Something is watching us from the dark!... It seems... just in the here!"
