Chapter 188 Qie Yun Aling
The Eno Oak Desert is divided into three different areas. The Standing Stone Plain is one of the three branches of the Eno Oak Desert. The dwarves in the north call it: Dream Broken place.
To the north is the Supreme Glacier, and to the south is the sandy land called Sword Desert.
The area is often ravaged by strong winds, resulting in almost no water, oases and trees, and is filled with gravel and jagged rocks.
In fact, there are few plains here either, most of which rise as plateaus from the sandy desert in the south.
The strong winds carved these rocks into grotesque shapes such as pillars and spikes, leaving cliffs, cracks and rubble everywhere.
Unlike the Sword Desert region in the southern part of the Aenorok Desert, the Netherese did not establish many settlements here before the fall of the Netherese Empire and the formation of the desert.
Therefore, there are not many ruins or buried treasures.
However, this land is rich in mineral resources, and it was here that the Netherese first discovered the Stone of Kalinda.
While moving forward against the raging strong wind and the sand that could obscure his vision, Brian recalled the information about Standing Stone Plain.
The dry air made every breath he took become unbearably hot, with the smell of the baked earth. The scorching sun in the desert also made it difficult for him to open his eyes. Even with the blessing of protective magic, he still felt it. The heat is trying to squeeze every bit of water out of your body.
“This area is really weird.”
Herister wiped her smooth and jade-like forehead with a trace of sweat, and said to him, “The further north you go, The more I leave, the more I feel the weakening of magic and spiritual energy in this area."
"Because the pain left by the Felin Demon Sun on this land has not been completely recovered. The chaotic magical energy is absorbed by the hot sunlight and shines on us, and the protective spells will be affected to some extent."
Brian shook off the dust on his cloak and wiped a wisp of it on his forehead. He stroked his sweat-wet hair behind his ears and said with a smile, "If I had known we should have set off at night, at least we wouldn't have endured this burning torture."
"I once heard you mention something inadvertently." Herister re-established a psychic barrier for the two of them, "Did you say that you wanted to restore this desert to its original appearance?"
"Indeed." Brian did not deny it, "If there is a chance, I will do it."
In fact, someone is already doing it.
Among them are the druids of the Emerald Garden, and the most active person on this matter is the High King of Shadow City, Telamante Tanshur.
But he has worked hard for nearly a hundred years. In addition to the improvement in the areas on the edge of the desert, central areas like the Standing Stone Plain have become more serious, and even the air has gradually begun to fill with chaos. of magical energy.
According to his speculation, the fundamental reason why the High King wants to assist the lost goddess Shar and let the Shadow Demon Web completely replace the Demon Web is to use the power of the Shadow Demon Web to restore the trauma of the Eno Oak Desert.
“It’s probably not as easy as imagined to control this desert.”
Herister quietly released a line of detection energy, a pair of eyes flashing under the scorching sun. Mei Mu looked around and sighed softly, "I can feel that there is a mysterious force hidden deep in the desert, which is constantly absorbing the vitality of this land. This feeling is like..."
"Like the Sun Mage in the world of Atas?" Brian expressed his guess.
"That's right." Herister seemed to have been immune to his shocking quotes from time to time, and nodded calmly.
"If that's the case, then I should give it a try."
Brian opened his hood and exposed his slightly messy hair to the scorching sun, feeling the stinging sensation of the strong wind blowing on his face. He said in a casual tone, "If this desert can be cured, maybe we can find a way to restore the world of Atas."
Helist heard this and was covered by the shadow of her hood. The beautiful woman who lived there was stunned for a moment.
She kept her strange eyes on Brian's back facing the wild sand.
For a moment, she suddenly felt that his figure became a little more majestic in her mind, as if he was gradually growing into her support.
Recalling every bit of time the two had gotten along, she couldn't help but feel surprised and incredible at her own idea, and then she quickened her pace to follow.
Of course Brian didn’t know that his careless words had already made people look at him with admiration.
His words seemed careless, and his tone seemed to be a casual mention, but in fact, this was indeed an idea he had long ago.
After all, he already had a clue in his mind about how to manage the Enoch Desert.
The most direct and effective way is to eliminate the Phayling Demon Sunflower, and he happens to know the location of the memory tower buried in the deepest part of the desert, known as the 'Phayling Demon Sunflower Tomb'.
Of course, with his current abilities, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
Unless his strength reaches a high level legend, he will never touch this forbidden power.
As for why he came up with the idea of restoring the Eno Oak Desert, the reason for this is not only his own unwillingness to do so, but also an invisible responsibility for him.
In the game world, his strength is limited to the mid-level legend. Naturally, he still has some experience on how to break through the high-level legend. Even above the high-level legend, he also has the unknown realm that no mortal has ever touched. Heard a little bit.
It is said that this involves something similar to 'cause and effect'.
Based on this uncertain news, he can also understand why the High King of Shadow City is so obsessed with rebuilding the Arcane Empire.
There is no doubt that the reason for this cannot be something like "It is our duty to rebuild the glory of the Arcane Empire!" ’ and other slogans that make young people excited.
As an old man from Netheril, High King Telamant has spent thousands of years, and the blood in his heart may have been worn away long ago, so he speculated that this Is it related to some cause and effect, or to improving one's own strength?
When the two were walking along the sand dunes and were about to reach Longbei Ridge with dense cliffs, a group of uninvited guests jumped out from the deep sand and blocked their way.
“Human flesh? It’s fresh human flesh!”
Five humanoid creatures with spikes on their backs, like rhinoceros walking upright, roared with excitement from their fanged mouths,
drops seeped out from between their teeth. The mucus that came out kept dripping and evaporated on the hot surface.
“This is the supernatural human-eating demon.” Brian quickly told Helister the information about the human-eating demon through the spiritual link.
The supernatural trolls are violent hunters that appear in the desert. These dangerous and evil humanoid monsters like to prey on intelligent creatures.
They fully enjoy the process of torturing, killing and devouring these creatures. They are eager for human flesh and will even go deep into the settlements of the Bedai barbarians at all costs.
They look like a hulking, two-legged, lizard-like humanoid monster, like a cross between a rhinoceros and a spiny beetle, with thick, horn-covered plates lining their heads and backs, and at their nostrils. There is a thick horn protruding in the middle.
Since the height of a fully adult human-eating demon can reach more than 5 meters, with a challenge level of about 12, far exceeding many giants, Brian judged from the size of these five appearing human-eating demons. This would be a family of five.
Faced with this situation, he naturally chose to take action directly without any hesitation.
Before the supernatural troll could launch its attack, Brian's Mayoufu micro-meteor took the lead in igniting the encounter.
With bursts of brilliant explosions, the smallest of the five human-eating monsters wailed and fell into a pool of blood. Its hard body surface was covered with more than a dozen blood holes, and the blood flowed smoothly. And down.
"Kill! Fresh human flesh! I will break their bones and suck out the marrow!"
Seeing the death of the human-eating monster, the remaining four human-eating monsters said a harsh word and rushed forward with a roar.
The two largest trolls faced Helister, while the remaining two rushed straight towards Brian.
——"Psychic blast!"
——"Psychic piercing!"
In an instant, as the wild scarlet eyes of the supernatural troll flashed brightly, Brian suddenly felt a jolt of pain coming from his brain.
However, for understanding these monsters that can release spiritual energy, he was naturally prepared for it. He added the fifth-level ability "Steel Tower of Will" to himself in advance and successfully withstood them. mental attack. ——"Sixth Ring Spell: Dissociation!"
——"Arcane Twins!"
Brian separated from the two trolls through teleportation spells distance, then stretched out his finger, and two green rays shot out from his fingertips, shooting towards the two trolls respectively.
——"Any door!"
A human-eating demon reacted very quickly, activated the spells it could use at will, and dodged in time.
The other troll, which was slower to react, was hit in the chest by a green ray just as it was about to escape.
The terrifying green energy spreads on its carapace-like skin like maggots attached to bones, cracking and disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The tearing pain caused the human-eating monster to cry out in mourning, with pure fear flashing in its scarlet eyes. In panic, it continuously used various protective psychic powers to try to stop this attack. The near-destructive pain caused by the terrible spell.
——"Supernatural ability: Ice spitting!"
The other troll who escaped the dissociation ray stood on the sand dune, took a deep breath, and spit out a large ball that shimmered crystal clear in the scorching sun. The lustrous, frozen aura swept towards Brian.
Brian calmly built up an elemental shield for himself to resist ice damage.
Then, he set his sights on the human-eating monster that was hit by the dissociation technique, but did not collapse in an instant due to its strong body.
——"Level 6 power: energy barrage!"
His eyes narrowed slightly, and in the void around the human-eating monster, terrifying ectoplasmic energy seeped out, turning into countless tiny blue-white arcs, drowning the human-eating monster screaming in terror without any wind pressure. in the explosion.
“The target is dead!”
“Soul energy is being extracted...”
“Experience points gained: 7000 points!”
……… …
With the death of the Troll, Brian's next attack comes instantly.
——"Level 5 power: Crystal Thorn Technique!"
The ectoplasm energy seeping out from the void turned into a dozen crystal tentacles covered with spikes, The other human-eating demon was tightly entangled, making bursts of clicking sounds.
The sharp spikes pierced into the gaps in the carapace-like skin of the troll, and grew longer and thicker at an extremely fast speed, continuing to spread towards its soft flesh, causing it to wail repeatedly in pain.
It wanted to break free with its own strength, but found in despair that the harder it struggled, the stronger the pain caused by the sharp thorns piercing its body.
——"Ma Youfu Micro Meteor!"
Brian filled the casting materials slowly, raised his hand and pointed the muzzle of the flaming gun at the struggling troll, causing it to be instantly submerged. In the bursting flames, he gained a lot of experience.
Seeing that the enemy had been eliminated by him, he quickly checked the battle on Helister's side.
It was discovered that the two adult human-eating monsters with supernatural powers that attacked her had been transformed into clear crystals by Helist through the sixth-level creative power "Crystalization".
Although they were not dead yet, their crystallized bodies had become fragile. He killed them with two flaming arrows and contributed nearly 20,000 experience points to him.
After the battle, he took Helister up a sand dune and looked at a rocky cliff in the distance, which was covered with many small holes as entrances.
“Where is that place?” Helist asked, and expressed her guess, “I feel that the mountain is like a living body.”
“You don’t feel it. Error, it is indeed a complete living body." After Brian finished speaking, he immediately activated the flying technique and flew to the rocky cliff with Heliste.
The two walked lightly to the entrance of the cave. The surroundings of the cave were decorated with many colorful stones and plants, which looked bright and bright.
At this moment, doll-like spirits flew out from inside, surrounding the two of them like a group of curious babies, constantly asking weird questions.
"Humans, where did you come from?"
"What are you doing here? Are you lost?"
"Wow, this beautiful sister's dress is so beautiful. !”
“My hair looks so smooth, can you let me touch it?”
“Can you sing?”
< br>
…………
This is a group of animated dolls that are only 20 centimeters tall. They wear strange masks, have slender limbs and wild hair.
Qie Yun A Ling, an elemental spirit found all over the world, these gentle creatures are close to nature and are humble guardians.
"Hello, the darlings of nature, the lovely Qiyun'alings." Brian showed a kind smile and said to this group of chirping little guys:
"I'm here The purpose is to find a dragon turtle named Ogruul. If you are willing to help me lead the way, these delicious snacks will be yours.”
After saying that, he took out a food box filled with various pastries and handed it to these lovely natural spirits.
Suddenly, these lively and cute little dolls started snatching up the flowers like bees after seeing them.
“I know where Grandpa Turtle is, I’ll take you there.” said Yie Yun Aling, who was the first to grab a piece of mung bean cake from the food box.
"Is he a good person?" The other little guy stared at the small eyes in the mask and looked at him suspiciously.
"Young lady is so pretty, how can she be a bad person?" A little guy from the Appearance Association sat on Helister's shoulder, nibbling on a piece of cake and retorted.
"But... Grandpa Turtle said that the more beautiful a young lady is, the easier it is to deceive others." Another little guy argued.
“Yes, yes, Grandpa Turtle also said that Dragon Turtle Soup is delicious.”
“I don’t care, we have already eaten their snacks, so we must agree to take them to see them. "Grandpa Turtle."
"What are you doing with Grandpa Turtle?" Qiyun Aling emerged from the food box and asked curiously.
"I heard that your Grandpa Turtle is trapped here, and I'm here to help him get out of trouble." Brian said his purpose sincerely.
"Did you see that? He even knows that Grandpa Turtle is trapped here. I told you, they are so handsome and beautiful, they must be good people."
The little guy from the Appearance Association came from Food He took out two crayfish from the box and said to everyone confidently, "If you don't want to take them, forget it. I will take them."
"What is going on?" Herister turned her inquiring eyes Falling on Brian, he asked: "Didn't you say you were going to find an amnesiac golem here? What happened to the dragon turtle?"
"The dragon turtle named Ogruul is a living one. A desert sage of thousands of years."
Following the guidance of Qiyun Aling, Brian explained to Helist, "It's not that you can't sense the specific location of the golem. I suspect it was hidden by him. Get up.”
