Chapter 297 Dangerous
Nana also got her own mission. She and her people were responsible for coming to the Iron Blade Mountains to lobby the snow elves and frost monsters.
She also got a strange gem from Lu En, saying that she just had to take it with her when talking to the frost monsters and snow elves, and she didn't need to worry about anything else.
The journey was long and boring, so she and a few coins played cards in the car. She had to drive for four consecutive nights after she lost! It was so cold that she was numb. If she hadn't been a high-level vampire, her physical fitness was different from ordinary people.
I must have frostbite all over my body!
After struggling for a long time, they finally reached an agreement, allowing Nana to go in to hide from the wind, while another person came out to help her drive.
Along the way, these people were fighting and joking, happily running towards the frost monster's territory.
Then, they finally climbed over the mountains and arrived at the permafrost tundra below.
It seemed that Lu En had sent a letter in advance, so even though the frost monsters didn't pay much attention, they didn't refuse and invited them in.
However, all requests and talks were rejected.
The Frost Monster King said straightforwardly: "We have no need to go out, nor do we need people to have any power in the human world. Even the empire cannot covet this land of ice. Although the encounters with external monsters have caused
We sympathize, but this has nothing to do with us. Maybe you can contact the snow elves and see, they may have stronger sympathy."
They were allowed to stay here as guests, but could not receive any help.
Nana knew that she couldn't really stay here and waste too much time, so she left quickly after saying goodbye, and quickly arrived at the territory of the snow elves within one day.
It was a city of towering ice sculptures. All the buildings here were made up of crystal and glittering ice cubes, which made people dizzy. The snow elves, like all other elves, were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
But their attitudes are as cold as ice and snow.
"King of monsters? What is it? Never heard of it, ah? Count of the Ontario border, this is somewhat impressive, but what does it have to do with us? Leave quickly, otherwise you will freeze to death."
The snow elf's voice was pleasant, but her tone was cold. They didn't even open the door and directly issued an eviction order.
Not only was there a cold wind at the top of the mountain, but the air was also very thin. Nana and the others could not stay for long and had to go down the mountain quickly. By this time, it was almost dark.
It was impossible to rush on the road when it was dark. The snow-capped mountains were very dangerous and they would fall if they were not careful. They had to find a shelter from the wind, light a bonfire, and roast dry food around the car to keep themselves warm.
"It's over, I haven't finished any of the things arranged by the master... What should I do?" Nana sighed while leaning on the fire, taking off her boots filled with snow, pouring out the snow and water inside, and then putting her feet on the ground.
Ya and the boots were put on the fire to roast.
A traveling companion shook the snow out of his clothes: "Oh, but we should not be the only ones making arrangements, right? I think it's just because the four of us often run this route, so he asked us to talk about it, what kind of big shot?
Maybe you can put the whole thing on us, and be safe. Others must also have such tasks. This is called casting a wide net! He will definitely be happy if one or two succeed." He comforted Nana.
"That's right, our words have been brought here. Why panic? It's not our fault that they don't accept it. Hurry up and finish this order and go back to work." Another person answered next to him.
"This is different. This is a task that the master personally assigned to me! Those of you who came later don't know that when Anluo was not built yet, I followed the master closely. The task that he has personally assigned to me now must be
It's different from the others!" Nana retorted irritably, continuing to wait for the ice on her shoes to melt away.
"Come on, that was all in the past. How long has it been since you last seen the Count? He's been working with a few of us every day! None of us are tired of hearing those things about you~." A man next to him who was baking clothes said with a smile.
.
Nana was so angry that she escaped directly into the shadow world, emerged from their shadow, and wanted to teach these people a lesson.
There was another fight, but in the end it was nothing. A few people dried their clothes, and then baked some dry food to eat. Finally, they packed up and buried the fire, entered the carriage, sealed the gap, and carefully took it.
He took out a small test tube of alchemy potion and sprinkled it into the carriage. The temperature inside immediately increased a lot, and then the four of them each wrapped their own blankets and went to sleep.
As she slept in a daze, Nana vaguely felt that there seemed to be a rustling sound around her.
But her eyelids were heavy and she slept so deeply that she felt like she couldn't move her limbs and couldn't wake up at all.
But after running a business for so long, Nana would no longer be so sleepy. She noticed something was wrong in her vague consciousness, and forced herself to sink into the shadow world, trying to wake up.
"Something happened..." She was keenly aware of this, and even though she was still half asleep, she still wanted to warn her companions.
Then...some distorted shadows suddenly appeared in her sight.
The Shadow Realm is shaking! Something is in the Shadow Realm too!
But immediately, the shadow world collapsed and turned into countless black mist. The black mist was filled with massless particles traveling at infinite speed.
Time expansion and length contraction will never end. There will be no time and space, no cause, and no effect. All positions and times will change in an instant, and all positions, directions, and speeds will change drastically.
Time, space and matter no longer exist!
Consciousness, soul, and body are meaningless!
She seemed to have sunk into the ground, and the black mist crowded around her, like the dark waves on the sea, turbulent and undulating, while Nana herself was like a small boat in the wind and waves, being tossed high by the waves and then falling heavily.
Come on. I can't help myself.
What was going on! She was horrified, but immediately, many strange beasts appeared around her, biting her!
Her expression changed greatly, but her body could not move at all. However, when those evil beasts rushed to her side, they suddenly turned into black mist and merged into the surroundings again.
Then, many dangers appeared in the black fog, and the whole world changed. She could feel the parasites gnawing at her brain, and a group of jackals howled beside her, trying to eat her.
Surrounded by nameless ghosts and ghosts, you want to breathe but find yourself in the water, unable to speak. Countless corpses and ghosts are entangled together. They are like waves in the sea, clinging to each other, floating up and down in hell.
Then, she felt a finger touching her shoulder. The tempting touch passed through her back, as if her soul was being invaded.
The forbidden pleasure caused an abnormal flush to appear on her face, but this feeling was dispelled just as it appeared, and the pleasure gradually disappeared. Suddenly, she smelled another smell in her nose, and she was stunned for a moment.
I found it smelled like blood.
She forced herself to open her eyes and found that the traveler's clothes all over her body had turned dark red and wet, and another pool of dark red liquid gradually fell from her body, which was obviously blood.
Large globs of blood flowed out from the surrounding black mist. Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be faint magic fluctuations around her. The shadow of a giant dragon enveloped her, making it impossible for the black mist to invade at all.
At this time, the fog rolled, and something came out of the black fog. There was a pair of eyes in the fog, and the shapes of the stones changed. Some were monsters with seven or eight hands, and some were people with two heads, sometimes with snake waists.
Immediately it turned into water waves again, but each one was different.
She seems to be able to understand it conceptually automatically... This is not the other party changing forms, each of these forms is real.
It's just that the situation is seen from different angles. This situation occurs because the shape of the black mist cannot be described, whether it is using words or pictures, it cannot be explained clearly.
It's like a collection of countless contradictions, so she can't understand its existence. Just like two-dimensional creatures can't understand a sphere, three-dimensional creatures can't understand four dimensions. They can only turn the most superficial part into vision, but they can't understand it.
The essence cannot be seen, so the shapes in the eyes are constantly changing, impermanent and formless, making it difficult to see the true appearance.
This incident suddenly woke her up. She suddenly broke the illusion of sleep and wanted to get up!
This time, she woke up easily, and she recovered directly from her sleep.
"Was that...a dream?" After waking up, Nana felt a splitting headache, but she still forced herself to open her eyes and look around.
But the scene in front of me was completely different, and I was no longer in the carriage!
There was a dark cave all around, but she had dark vision, so she could still see clearly what was going on around her. It was like inside a cave, and the carriage she and the others were in was long gone!
Now she understood that this was not a dream at all, something had happened!
"Get up, Hank!" She stood up immediately and wanted to call out her companion, but the other party seemed to be as fast asleep as she was before. Even though there was a gurgling sound in her throat, she still couldn't wake up.
.
In the end, she became anxious and simply kicked her companion in the stomach. The body of her companion was bent into a crumpled shape by the kick. Her saliva and tears flowed together, and she woke up from her dream!
"Hank, Faith, and Claude, get up!" It took a lot of effort for her to pull the three of them up.
"Ahem! You... are so harsh. I'm going to vomit out my dinner. Where is this place? How did we get here?" Hank, who was the first to wake up, regained his consciousness, complained, and immediately entered
into a state of alert.
Others gradually woke up, and the four of them gathered in a group. They first checked their injuries and the items they carried, and then slowly and slowly walked outside.
"There is wind here, which means there is a cave entrance. The breath is not suffocating. We should not be very deep underground." Claude judged the situation.
He has Scout 2 and is a scout and strategist in the caravan team.
"Look, these are igneous rocks, and! Look at the top carefully!" The rocks above looked loose and full of holes. After careful identification, Wright finally confirmed this.
"Porous basalt, there are really volcanoes nearby! This is stone that has been covered and solidified by lava in the past few hundred years! Isn't the Iron Blade Mountains just a volcano group! We may be inside the mountains!" Claude immediately said
.
"What's the use? Can we still find a way? Is it useful inside?" Hank rolled his eyes. This information has no value at all.
"Idiot, if it's inside the Iron Blade Mountains, who brought us in? Didn't you dream about the black mist when you were dreaming? The carriage is also missing! There must be a ghost in the middle!" Faith cursed.
"Who doesn't know there are ghosts? If there are no ghosts, you moved me in? But will that help the current situation? We have to find a way first, find a way! Get out!" Hank immediately retorted.
"Okay, stop arguing! I'm going to explore the way! Search from the shadow world, you guys wait for me here." Nana interrupted the argument, she wanted to sneak into the shadow world and check the whole place.
Where there are no shadows, there is no shadow world. Relying on this feature, you can avoid many dead ends, because the dead ends must be solid walls, and there are no shadows inside.
"Be careful. Isn't the shadow realm within the empire solidified? Be careful of Tuoli inside." Feis reminded.
Although the Shadow Realm has not completely solidified to the point where it cannot be penetrated, for advanced vampires, it is just like fish swimming in water or swimming in asphalt. Originally, they would be more comfortable in the Shadow Realm, but now, they
Sneaking into the shadow world requires a lot of physical strength. If it is too much, you will collapse to the ground from exhaustion and temporarily lose the ability to enter it.
Therefore, all high-level vampires will withdraw from the empire and choose to settle in Anluo.
"I will be careful, don't worry." Nana nodded and dived into the shadows.
Then almost instantly, she withdrew immediately!
"Run! Run!" She shouted in panic: "The shadows around here are all alive! Those black fogs are not fake! We are still in the black fog!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the darkness around him began to riot!
The darkness quickly condensed and turned into a black mist beast, with fangs protruding and saliva dripping, rushing towards them!
"Nana, run first! Use shadow jump to run out, we will stop you!" Hank, as the only combat professional, rushed forward!
And Nana was not pretentious, she started shadow jumping without hesitation and prepared to escape!
The only other option is to escape. The time your companions have fought for must not be wasted. She is the only one with the ability to jump in space, so it is her turn to escape!
Hank, Faith, and Claude immediately began to act in tacit understanding. The combat professionals stepped forward to meet the enemy. Claude was responsible for running in the other direction to attract firepower, while Faith stayed to help Hank analyze the enemy's situation.
