Chapter 166 Soul Valley
Heading north-eastward from Star Dragon City, after walking for a while in the cold wilderness wind without any mountains blocking the way, you will see a canyon that looks like the mouth of a giant beast.
There is a fork in the road not far before the canyon, one of which extends into the canyon like a long gray tongue delivering its prey into its mouth.
There is another one that extends toward the northwest. The terrain in that direction is more bumpy and the road is winding, so it is unknown where it leads.
Ignore the bumpy and winding broken road for now and continue along the gray and white road. It won't be long before you are close to the entrance of the canyon.
The terrain of the canyon is concave. Standing on the edge and looking down, it feels like you are at the lips of a giant beast, and you will fall into endless terror.
There were sporadic lights flickering in the distance, probably from people walking by with torches in their hands, staggering.
There was the howling of wind in the air, and this place seemed to be a place that even the broken moonlight was unwilling to touch. Except for the swaying stars in the distance, there was only silence inside the canyon.
The soldiers who set out from Star Dragon City finally set foot on this land. The leader was the soldier Reed. As one of the lord's most trusted men, he served as a sentinel this time and was given the task of "breaking the city directly if there is a chance."
Of course, investigating the information intelligence of Soul Valley is his first priority.
Only our own people would be able to pass on the key information in a timely manner, as for the undead people... although they received the mission, it seemed that since then, they left in groups of three or two, and there has been no movement or response.
Lind was very curious as to why the undead people in the Weeping Town of Soul Valley had disappeared without a trace, as if they had simply evaporated.
The crazy blood in the bloody lamb can force the undead to hang up, and the abyss can force the undead to log off and disconnect from the network.
Apparently the "ghosts" here also possess similar abilities.
The undead are not as invincible as imagined, which is good news, but the bad news is that this power comes from the enemy.
The wind blowing up from the bottom of Ghost Valley hit the armor of Reed and others. Their helmets had been specially modified, and the visors almost blocked all the weaknesses, leaving only a gap for seeing from the inside to the outside, but the viewing angle was not large.
The cold and hard patterns make them look like delicate tin cans, very cold and indifferent.
The weapon in his hand was unsheathed at the first opportunity.
Reed pulled the reins of the Calamity Warhorse, gently squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and slowly moved forward.
Visibility in the canyon is extremely low, and the line of sight can only find faint traces through the hazy light from the stars above their heads. This also requires them to be more careful when moving forward to avoid accidentally entering the disaster area.
If you are suddenly attacked by a disaster at this time, you will definitely be in a panic. Of course, launching a charge after the panic can solve all the problems.
Suddenly, Reed paused: "Did you hear that?"
"Master Reed," the soldier nodded, "It seems like there was a very vague sound, but it could just be the sound of the wind."
The whistling sound of the wind sounded like someone talking.
"Rumor?" Reed didn't think so. Before coming here, Lord Linde had specifically told him to be careful of the Soul Valley.
Not only must you be careful of the undead and ordinary residents here, but also any unheard-of enemies that may pop out.
Being cautious is essential for survival, but with a dozen heavily armed knights riding doom horses on this trip, the chances of anything going wrong are low.
Their strength is enough to run rampant in this area. Even if the opponent is a high-level knight or a high-level wizard, they may not be able to deal with them.
"Keep going and be ready to fight at any time."
Just as Lord Lind said, if the enemy is really strange and special, then you should become stronger and crush it. The only way to defeat the enemy is to become stronger than the enemy. Because of this, the soldiers with a high-spirited spirit of charging forward can not fear disasters.
But not long after they walked away, the strange sound was heard again.
It was as if someone suddenly whispered something in his ear. The cool breeze swept the hair on the auricle, making him feel itchy and he subconsciously wanted to tilt his head. But when he reached out to clean his ears, he would immediately become quiet and just raise his hand subconsciously.
When they raised their hands, they suddenly realized that they were wearing helmets. Not to mention the wind, even sand could not penetrate the protection of the helmets and touch their ears. It was as if someone was blowing in their ears and they could not do it at all.
This time Reed heard the voice, and he was sure it was that voice!
It's very clear, a bit like a whisper, with some strong emotion.
"Dome!"
"What?" Reed asked subconsciously. It was a sound like an old man taking off his pants. It sounded disgusting and sour.
He turned to look at the soldiers around him.
"What did you hear?" he inquired.
The knight swallowed his saliva, and his throat seemed to have swallowed a razor blade. It became very difficult for him to speak: "Dome!"
The Great Knight repeated, "The voice said, Dome."
Most of the soldiers living in the Kingdom of Rand have never seen any fantastical or bizarre things in their lives, such as ghosts, dragons, giants and other things that only exist in picture books and theater performances.
The sudden appearance of something like a ghost now can indeed make people panic.
Yes, you will feel a little helpless when facing it, but you won’t be so scared that you dare not move. After all, the end of the world has come and God is gone.
"You are just playing tricks. If you really have the ability, you would have come to kill me long ago!"
Reed had already obtained relevant information about Soul Valley from the lord, including "Dome", a book thief who was also a high-level wizard.
However, the opponent is not good at fighting. From the information obtained, we can also know that among the nine superiors under the new noble Leon, only the storm wizard Yaza is good at spell combat. Wherever the storm sweeps, nothing can stop it.
It’s a pity that the wizard ran into Lord Lance and was shot in the head by an arrow.
It was a wonderful battle, and everyone's eyes would sparkle with excitement every time they heard that story.
The most legendary character today is undoubtedly the Lord. He used just over two months to develop the Star Dragon Outpost from ten people to the Star Dragon City of two to three thousand people.
Below him is Lance. Whether it is the pair of antlers or his ice bow that can release ice arrows, they are all legendary.
The dwarf Ludo occasionally makes a guest appearance as a bard, especially in recent times.
As for Duomei, he plays the role of a "wise man" more often. Now the other party should have noticed the arrival of him and others and started to play tricks.
The slight noise in their ears did not stop, and after hearing Reed's scolding, the soldiers quickly got themselves in order.
Just as Reed said, if someone was stronger, he would have come to kill us long ago. Why would he do something weird to scare people?
Not taking the initiative to attack is sometimes a sign of weakness.
