Chapter 269 Gossip of the Storm Goddess(1/3)
The secret paths between the mountain peaks were almost completely buried by the wind and snow, and the traces of when Liu Yifei and the others came out had already been traced.
If anyone wants to look for clues from the ground to enter the mountain at this time, he is destined to find nothing.
It's just that for Inheim, who is familiar with everything, finding the way "home" is not difficult.
After previously dealing with the "Patrol Sentinel Team" of the dungeon army, before the enemy's army arrived, the three of them set off again and finally arrived at the "mountain stronghold" that Liu Yifei and the others had seen before when they came out.
This place is said to be a stronghold, but from the outside it looks like nothing more than a strange abandoned magic tower standing in the wilderness.
And this is exactly the case
As for whether there was a magic tower here originally, but it was later used by the devils, or whether it was a deception set up by the devils to cover up the exit of their secret stronghold, it is far from clear.
According to Inheim, when he "took over" this amazing secret stronghold, everything here was what Liu Yifei saw now.
I don’t know if it’s a magical miracle left by the devils, or if everything is just a natural coincidence.
The intensity of the wind and snow here is much more astonishing than that of the outside world. Even the powerful annual icy monsoon known as the "Breath of Ice" is slightly inferior to it.
Liu Yifei hadn't noticed these details when he just came out of the devil's stronghold. Now he went out for a walk and came back to compare...
Damn it!
No wonder he caught a "cold" just after coming out of the stronghold...
However, with the help of Inheim, after applying multiple layers of resistance protection, Liu Yifei and Xue Lan finally managed to withstand the baptism of the blizzard.
Inheim was tinkering in front of the abandoned magic tower for about half an hour. During the slight trembling of the earth, a teleportation circle that looked familiar to Liu Yifei finally lit up on the ground.
After a flash of silver light, the three figures had disappeared into the increasingly fierce blizzard. But perhaps what they would never know was that shortly after the three figures disappeared, two blurry black shadows appeared.
Ordinary "objects" quietly appear where they disappeared.
"They...are they going to the Water Prison? Are they from Amat?"
After a moment of silence, one of the dark figures asked in disbelief.
"It seems correct...but I'm very curious. The method they used to open the door just now was quite sophisticated. With their strength, it doesn't seem like they can control that kind of magic circle."
Another dark figure paused for a moment, then continued:
"But the strange thing is that I don't feel the seeds of chaos from them, let alone Amat's unique sulfurous smell originating from hell demons...
It's not that I don't feel it at all.
When the wizard came out of the soul space of the little toy just now, there was a little fluctuation of chaotic power, but the time was too short and the fluctuation was not obvious. I almost thought it was wrong..."
"You mean...they're not from Amat?"
"At least it's not a direct 'gift'... maybe it's a descendant of the gift developed by Amat or something."
"Then...what should we do about our affairs?
The little toy was broken by them again... Do we need to discuss this matter with Emmat?
We have spent a lot of effort on the little toys, so Amat must give an explanation, right?"
"Hmph, do you expect that traitorous devil to have much patience and talk nonsense with us?
In fact, I am surprised that Emma has not rebelled and returned to the hell camp after so many years. After all, after the war between gods and demons, many great devil lords fell into seals or fell into sleep. If Emma at this time
If Te rebels, we really don’t have much to do with her..."
"What now?"
The black shadow who spoke first asked helplessly.
"Monitor them closely. Tell all our downlines to be extremely careful if their whereabouts are discovered again in the future. Don't easily cause conflicts."
"Where are the little toys?"
"Humph, that loser, even though I've given her such a strong body, she still...
That’s all
Aren't Sphedes's subordinates currently working on that 'Chimera' research experiment in the Tower Clan?
This waste has been debugged several times by us. Although the level has not improved, it is quite accustomed to the adaptability of the soul fusion process. Collect her soul fragments and give them to Sphedes. Maybe he can make some progress there.
maybe."
"Then...Lord Bois, those people just now...should we also go to the water prison to have a look?"
"No need
Since there might be someone like that guy from Amat, we don't need to get involved too much.
The fetal movement of darkness has already started to sound. I believe that it won’t be long before it becomes clear whether they are friends or foes. Why bother guessing now?
Doing what we are doing right now is what we should do most...
But then again, how could we ever have friends?
Alas, this world is really lonely..."
The blizzard became bigger and bigger. Amidst the whistling of the north wind, the conversation between the two strange black figures finally seemed to be absent. In the end, they disappeared as inexplicably as when they appeared, leaving no trace at all in the same place.
None of them were left behind, as if they had never existed in this world...
However, just a few hundred meters away from here, underground, what appeared in front of Xue Lan was a completely different and magnificent scenery!
The vast underground world, the complex buildings and decorative patterns with a slight rococo style, and the rumbling thunder that is like roaring in the ears
Looking at it, the entire underground world is like a paradise hidden outside the world, but it is extremely quiet. Just like a sleeping place in a deep sleep, people can't help but wonder whether they really exist here, or whether they are just in it.
in a strange dream
"That's the waterspout..."
Looking quietly at the giant waterspout in front of him, Xuelan almost lost the ability to speak.
Although I had already learned about the existence of "waterspouts" from conversations with Liu Yifei and video recordings. Even the video recordings clearly recorded this super wonder of the magical world.
However, this is vastly different from immersive appreciation.
When Xue Lan stepped out of the teleported white light, and when her ears were filled with the roar of the waterspout, Xue Lan truly understood the "incomparably small feeling" that Liu Yifei had mentioned before.
Yes
Compared with this magical super wonder, the human body is really too small.
A diameter of hundreds of meters wide, directly connected to the top of the endless void...
Even a giant dragon is as small as a drop in the ocean next to this super waterspout. This has exceeded the limit of human language description. Xue Lan felt shocked! Incomparable shock! She was so shocked that she couldn't believe it. This is actually true.
"Are you surprised? Haha, I was also shocked when I saw it...
Okay. Let’s go there quickly and you’ll know if it’s true or false, and you’ll know if you try it once.”
Under the guidance of Liu Yifei and Inheim, Xue Lan silently watched the magical waterspout. In his heart, he was even more looking forward to the "call" he had felt...
As for why Liu Yifei suddenly decided to come back here, Inheim was actually extremely curious. However, when he asked once before, Liu Yifei only replied that it was "to verify a conjecture" and left it at that. Obviously he didn't want to go into too much detail. So Inheim did not continue to ask.
But what can be sensed is that the purpose of their trip is obviously to let the dark witch named Xuelan in the dungeon "come into contact" with the waterspout...
This is a totally crazy idea!
In short, in Inheim's memory, he remembered that he was also very interested in this waterspout in his "last life"
Although even with his legendary level strength in his previous life, he could not feel obvious power fluctuations from this waterspout, what is certain is that this thing definitely does not move naturally.
There are indeed all kinds of wonders and scenic spots in nature, but the ones in front of you are definitely not normal!
If you want to say that there is no powerful magic involved...then even a three-year-old child would not believe it!
But no matter how Inheim, who was still a lich at the time, tried to investigate, he just couldn't find any mystery.
In the end, Inheim did something fairly "reasonable" and that was to simply go deep into the water and take a look.
But this idea soon proved to be an extremely bad idea!
Although this deep blue seems to be the source of coolness in the underground world. However, after actually coming into contact with it, the remaining impression on Inheim is as hot as a blazing fire!
Damn it
Inheim really didn't expect that even though he was the body of the undead, he could still feel the "scorching, boiling" temperature!
In his shock, Inheim became interested in this magical waterspout, and simply added various elaborate protections to himself in order to force his way deeper.
It's a pity that he failed in the end
As long as he was within three hundred meters of the waterspout, he felt as if he had hit a wall head-on, unable to make any further progress.
And no matter what method Inheim uses: flying, teleportation or counter-summoning, the result is not feasible!
Even after he applied the "Protect of the Underworld" spell with a temporary invincibility effect on himself, he still could not enter the core area of the waterspout...
This almost surprised Inheim, who was a lich at the time!
And Inheim was convinced that even if he regained his peak "legendary power", it would be difficult to break through the "protection" of this waterspout.
So after several days of hard research, Inheim had to give up. To this day, Inheim has been reborn as a skeleton with only spiritual level strength. He still cannot understand what secrets are hidden in this waterspout.
Things that even he had been unable to do...
To be continued...
