Lord of Hyranza

"Until just now, I didn't understand why that guy was able to enter the barren land alone. When he was tracking me, I couldn't find him. Now I figured it out." Suldak pointed with his hand Looking at a small black spot among the gray clouds in the sky, he asked Selina: "Have you seen that night harrier in the sky? In the morning, I found it hovering strangely above our heads. Now It flew back again!"

Selena looked up at the sky full of volcanic ash, and shook her head blankly.

"I can feel that he is rushing towards us at full speed. Let's pack up and leave quickly. No, it's too late to pack up. Let's go now. If we are later, we may not be able to leave!" Suldak said sensitively from Jumped off the boulder, and then caught Selena who jumped off, and pulled Selina quickly towards the two Gu Bolai horses.

The two of them didn't have time to pack up the tent, so they quickly rode on Gu Bolai's horse and fled to the north of the pustule mountain. Sure enough, the night harrier in the sky chased them.

Because he knew that the dark red knight was trailing behind them, Suldak did not choose to leave the range of Pustules Mountain. During the journey, although the legs of the two ancient horses were scalded to varying degrees, Suldak Ke used his power of holy light to continuously treat the two horses, so the two horses could barely move on such a mountain road with complicated terrain.

It wasn't until the night fell again that Suldak exhaled lightly, but he still didn't dare to stay where he was. He didn't continue to walk eastward along the periphery of Pustule Mountain, but took advantage of the darkness and chose to lead the horse. Climb the north slope of Pustule Mountain.

Along a river of hot lava, Surdak walked up the mountain for half a night. The road up the mountain was very difficult, and there were many dead ends, but Surdak never gave up trying to find a new way .

After trying many times, the two actually didn't get very far on the north slope of Pustule Mountain.

Suldak said with a confused face: "It doesn't make sense! When I was at the foot of the mountain, I clearly saw a cave next to this lava river. We can only avoid the night harrier by hiding in the cave. tracking..."

Chapter 309 Tracking 2

Paitus Mountain is called Pustule Mountain by the mountain people outside the mountain pass because this active volcano erupts magma all year round. The entire peak has a magma pool of nearly ten hectares or even wider, but this The magma in the magma pool is not surging outwards, relatively speaking, it is a very quiet volcano.

As people describe it, it's like a pustular acne on the face of an adolescent teenager.

The lava keeps bubbling outwards, but it rarely erupts. It rains volcanic ash all year round, but it is only within a radius of tens of kilometers. Because it is located deep in the barren land , so this area is inaccessible, few people come here.

The dark red knight rode a black-scaled horse through the rocky foot of the mountain. The ground was covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash. A thin layer of magmatic rock, and the magmatic rock layer is covered with a thick layer of soft volcanic ash.

The black-scaled horse itself can weigh nearly a thousand pounds, and it is carrying the dark red knight and his heavy armor made of magic patterns. This allows the black-scaled horse to walk on the rocky ground covered with volcanic ash, and every step of the horse's hooves Deeply plunged into the volcanic ash, the black scaled horse almost kept moving forward while dripping with volcanic ash.

The usual terrain is okay, but it will consume some of the black scaled horse's physical strength.

Once encountering an underground magma river that is surging undercurrents, if the black-scaled horse steps on it, the horse's hooves will be scalded by the hot volcanic ash, or the rock formations on the surface of the river will be crushed, and small streams of magma will follow from the ground. It splashed out with the raised hooves of the horse, and sometimes even splashed on the horse's belly and the crimson knight's calf.

Although the dark red knight made some preparations for this, when the black-scaled horse crossed the foot of the pustule mountain, its four hooves were still severely burned.

Most of the black-scaled horse's fur below the ankle was scalded off, exposing the white bones. The blood and volcanic ash mixed together covered the horse's hooves, and then peeled off continuously as it moved forward. Even if this black-scaled horse The scale horse is a well-trained army horse, but for this reason, no matter how the dark red knight whips his whip, he is unwilling to continue to move forward, even by one step.

The night harrier on the dark red knight's shoulder was dirty and its feathers were covered with volcanic ash. It shrank its neck like a quail, squatted on the dark red knight's shoulder with its eyes closed and didn't want to move. The edge of the nostril near its beak is also covered with black volcanic ash. The night harrier's breathing is very rapid, as if it has some kind of lung disease, and it looks dying.

The Night Harrier completed its mission. It flew back from Baron Grenfell and brought back the portrait of Selina for the Dark Red Knight. It searched the sky for two days and one night, and found Suldak again. And Selena's whereabouts, and guide the dark red knight to chase here, and it seems that it is about to come to the end of its life.

Its lungs were filled with hot volcanic ash, which made it unable to breathe smoothly. It wanted to open its wings again to shake the volcanic ash on it, but after opening its wings, it found that it could no longer retract them. It was like A stone sculpture fell from the shoulder of the dark red knight, and the volcanic ash kept falling like snowflakes flying in the air...

……

The dark red knight looked at the night harrier that fell into the volcanic ash, only a handful of tail feathers remained outside, seeing that it was about to die, the dark red knight just snorted coldly, and looked indifferently. I ignored the night harrier, letting its head be buried in the volcanic ash, and its body slowly twitched until it became stiff.

The black-scaled horse refused to take another step forward, so the dark red knight could only give up the horse and stride forward alone.

He was wearing a heavy full-coverage magic pattern armor, a heavy double-edged broadsword on his back, and a pair of black iron heavy boots stepped on the volcanic ash, almost half of his calf sank. The road here is not easy to walk. His iron boots also slowly heated up, and his feet were like stepping on a hot iron pot. He could only circulate the blood in his body to counteract the scorching heat under his feet.

He thought about how long he hadn't had such a painful experience after he became a Constructed Knight, so long that he almost forgot about that battle.

That wasn't on the battlefield, but one year after I entered the Black Magic Retreat in pursuit of greater power, when I was chasing the black magic of the Hell Demon Race "Hell Flame", a leader in the southern province of Petersburg In the lord's castle called Fred Gary, he was fighting the sword dancer. The sword dancer was unexpectedly a constructed knight with both magic and martial arts. His double swords were burning with raging fire during the battle. The battle almost roasted the dark red knight, and the dark red knight split the sword dancer in half with a powerful dark martial art 'Dark Strike'.

After so many years in Hailansa City, I seem to have forgotten those hard battles.

He reached out and touched the black mark on his neck that was still bleeding. The pain was gradually awakening the will to fight deep in his heart. Could this be the power of the Goddess of Darkness?

At dawn, the sky was bright white, echoing the mushroom-shaped gray clouds above the head. The dark red knight stood alone on a huge rock at the foot of the mountain. He had been searching for the whole night at the foot of the mountain, but unfortunately Losing the whereabouts of Suldak and Selina, he stuck his broadsword on the rock of the magma rock, took out the little water bag left, and drank the water inside in one gulp.

If they can't be found again, the Dark Red Knight will consider withdrawing from this barren land. Since the two of them came out of Wall Village, they can go to Wall Village to investigate, he thought in his heart.

The fiery morning sun shines on the pustule mountain through layers of obstacles, stretching the figure of the dark red knight on the boulder. Just as the dark red knight was about to jump off the big rock, he just happened to be looking at it within his field of vision. When he arrived at a cave, he looked up at the cave located between the walls of the lower half of the pustule mountain, and suddenly a thought arose in his heart. He covered the bloody black mark on his neck with one hand, and walked towards the cave. After fifty steps, the pain caused by the black mark on his neck was faintly intensified. Then he turned and ran towards the opposite direction of the cave for nearly a hundred meters, and the pain on his neck lessened accordingly.

They must have discovered the night harrier, and they hid in that cave in order to avoid the night harrier's pursuit. The dark red knight felt the pleasure of revealing the final answer. The knight who couldn't be considered a knight of construction stepped on his feet, cut off his head with a sword, and then brought the pretty good-looking messenger of the dark goddess to Grenfell. Presumably he wouldn't mind enjoying the spoils himself, after all, he Lost a priceless black scale horse.

The dark red knight thought of the black-scaled horse, touched his chapped lips and shriveled stomach, and strode back along the original road.

The black-scaled horse lay down on the soft volcanic ash, and when it saw the dark red knight striding back, it let out a weak whine. The broad-bladed sword had already landed on its neck, and the black horse's head was cut off by the dark red knight's sword, and the blood splashed all over the dark red knight's body. He cut off a large piece of horse meat with hide from its hind leg, held it in his hand, and began to climb the mountain of pustules in front of him.

There are some dark rivers of lava all over the north slope of the pustule mountain. After the dark red knight suffered a lot, he found that he only needs to walk next to the more eye-catching lava river. Although it is hotter and unbearable than other places, it will definitely not Then step on those hot lava dark rivers.

When looking from the bottom of the mountain, I didn't feel how far the cave was.

But when he started to climb the mountain, he realized that the cave was really far away from him.

What made him feel refreshed was that he found a small pile of horse manure on the way. He even bent down and squeezed it carefully with his hands, and found that although the outer layer of the horse manure was dry, the inside was damp , indicating that the existence of this piece of horse manure is not too long.

So he was even more sure that Suldak and Selena must have hid in that cave.

……

The horses of the two of them also suffered serious burns, but with the power of Suldak's holy light, the two Gu Bolai horses are still barely able to walk.

Moreover, Suldak has already found out how to avoid the dark river of lava hidden under the volcanic ash. Since he can sense the magic elements around his body, as long as he feels carefully, it is not difficult to find the thick fire element in the rocks under his feet. By avoiding the fire element belts in perception, one can avoid those dark rivers of lava.

Selena followed behind Suldak. Although the two were fleeing, she looked at the broad arms of the man in front of her, but she felt extremely at ease in her heart. She always wanted to rush from behind. Go up and hug him tightly, the heat in your body rushes from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.

He is brave and decisive, and will not give up lightly. In adversity, he is like a solid shield in front of himself, always welcoming the first round of storms.

Selena looked at Suldak in front of her with extremely bright eyes.

She had a thick mask on her face, and she was panting slightly when climbing the mountain. Fortunately, the speed of the two of them was not fast. He seemed to slow down the speed deliberately to accommodate himself.

"How much longer do we have to go?" Selina asked quietly, leaning against Suldak.

"Are you tired? Do you want some water?" Suldak handed the water bottle to Selina.

He took out the scroll of gathering water from his bosom and unfolded it casually. The water element here was quite thin, and the dripping water droplets fell extremely slowly. Suldak drenched the water on his body and felt much cooler for a while. wiped his face.

She placed the water gathering scroll on top of Selena's head, allowing her to enjoy a rare coolness. She raised her head in the magic rain, letting the water drop on her fair and delicate face, and then flow down her neck into her plump body. Moisturized by the rain of magic, the dry lips on the fair chest instantly turned into bright red rose petals. Her big beautiful eyes stared at Suldak dreamily, and the bright red rose petals bloomed with the most beautiful smile.

The two rested on a rock.

The two Gubolai horses needed water, food and treatment, and Suerdak didn't dare to give up on these two horses. It would take at least half a month to walk back to Wall Village from here.

"What should we do if lava keeps flowing out of that cave?" Selina asked Suldak.

Suldak said without even thinking about it: "Then go find another cave. This kind of road is likely to be the same as us, even if you are a knight, you should not be able to ride a horse. The night harrier wants to find us, at least tomorrow during the day." Don't worry, he won't catch up so quickly."

Suldak seemed very determined, then he patted his forehead hard and said, "By the way, I almost forgot about this..."

Then, under Selena's silent gaze, Suldak re-established the temporary altar for the sacrificial ceremony beside the boulder. The phantom of the demon god watched him skillfully take out a wolf's head as a sacrifice, and then a holy light fell on him.

"Is that the god you believe in?" Selina asked Suldak who was packing four pottery bowls.

Suldak put the pottery bowl into the magic pocket, and clapped his hands. At this time, the phantom of the demon god had turned into a little bit of starlight and disappeared. Help is paid, I offer sacrifices to him, and he can send down power and blessings, maybe because I can't be regarded as a devout believer."

"Then what is this?" Selena asked, "What kind of blessings do you wish for yourself?"

"The divinely blessed body can give you endless energy." Suldak replied.

After resting for a while, the two continued to drive up the mountain. At night, they couldn't find the cave by sight, but could only rely on the location in their memory to keep exploring.

The two of them walked up the mountain along the river of lava for most of the night, and finally found the mine cave before dawn. Standing in front of the cave entrance, they realized that the cave really flowed hot water from the cave entrance just as Dailina said. magma, but it is a bit different from what Selina said, this river of lava is more like a crack, the exposed part is not much, and the heat is more like an unbearable heat, not that An unbearably hot temperature.

The two stood at the entrance of the cave for some hesitation, but in the end it was Suldak who made the decision: go in and have a look first, and then withdraw if it doesn't work.

When the two approached the cave, they found a gust of hot wind blowing out from the cave. It was this wind that made breathing a little smoother. A thin layer of sulfur mines grew next to the lava fissure at the entrance of the cave. The smell is also a bit pungent.

Suldak led the horse and walked in, and a wave of heat hit his face.

Chapter 310 Combat

At night, except for a little light from the lava river, the surroundings of the cave are very dim.

Suldak originally only wanted to hide at the entrance of the cave with Selena. No one knew what kind of danger would exist in the cave on the mountainside of an active volcano flowing with hot magma. If the lava pool is connected, it is likely to periodically spew out magma.

Suldak carefully searched for traces of lava eruption. It seems that this cave should be considered safe, but the traces of volcanic ash at the entrance of the cave are rather messy, and it is impossible to tell whether those footprints were left by humans or beasts.

The crack at the entrance of the cave is like a river of dry lava. Only in the center of the crack does the rock show signs of melting into magma, just like a narrow band of light. With a trace of light yellow crystals, countless tiny sulfur crystals are scattered on the cracks of the rock wall. These are all sulfur mines.

Moreover, there are also crystallized sulfur ore crystals on the rock wall at the entrance of the cave. The temperature at the entrance of the cave is not too high, and hot wind blows out from it from time to time, with a pungent and pungent smell, which can be clearly seen through a mask. smell.

Selena followed behind Suldak, a red mark was burned on her calf, facing the red light of the lava river, the scar was extremely eye-catching on the snow-white skin.

The two walked in less than ten meters from the cave entrance against the stone wall, and found a stone platform covered with volcanic ash in the cave.

The interior space of the cave is very wide, and the location of the stone platform is about seven or eight meters away from the lava river. Apart from the need to endure the hot wind blowing from the depths of the cave, the temperature here is not high, at least tolerable.Suldak first checked the surroundings, and it seemed that this cave should not be a den, and there were no such things as fur, feces, and bones of wild animals.

He walked to the entrance of the cave and took a look outside. Except for some lava rivers with dark red veins on the hillside, the rest was pitch black.

Suldak took out a wolf fur mattress from his magic pocket and spread it on a strip of feldspar, and sat down to rest with Selena.

There is no need to set up a tent in the cave, so Suldak took out some dry food and clean water. There is no need for a concentrated fire scroll here, just fill an iron pot with some clean water, put it on the hot stone slab beside the river of lava, and then put Add a few pieces of jerky, and after the water boils, you can throw some baked wheat cakes into the pot.

The food cooked in this way is not delicious, but it is rich in nutrition and easy to cook, especially this cooking method is the most popular in military camps.

The two Gubolai horses seemed a little restless in the cave, but they gradually calmed down under Suldak's comfort. Suldak took out some beans and water to feed the horses.

Selena took off the saddle and shaved off the sweat of the two horses. She was as strong as a weed in Beigou pasture called 'Immortal Thirst', squatting beside Suldak, Selena obsessively chased after Suldak's back, and said to Suldak: "The god you believe in is really powerful."

Suldak didn't turn his head, and only said: "But the price is also very high. Every time I start the sacrificial ceremony, I need to offer a sacrifice. The worst of these sacrifices is the head of a monster."

Suldak cut open a lizard claw fruit with a skinning knife and handed it to Selina.

Selena didn't reach out to pick it up, she put her mouth close to Suldak's hand, bit the nut of the lizard claw fruit, her soft lips touched Suldak's thumb and index finger, her green eyes were bold Facing Suldak, Suldak covered her eyes with his hands and said, "Take a good rest, I don't know what will happen tomorrow."

Suldak deliberately didn't look at those seductive eyes, and said to Selina: "If that Constructed Knight can still find us like this, I will be completely helpless, and I will inevitably have to fight him desperately. Can your dark goddess help us one more time?"

Selena said with a silly smile, "Probably possible!"

She leaned her head on Suldak's shoulder, closed her eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "When the goddess descended into the dark mist, I seemed to hear some oracle. Only believers who believe in the Goddess of Darkness can gain stronger power from her."

"... Having said that, if you want to develop believers of the Goddess of Darkness, perhaps the heretics from the Black Magic Priory may be better persuaded. The Grimm Empire is full of believers in the Goddess of Liberty, but it is not easy to change their beliefs." Suldak both Not believers of the Statue of Liberty, nor of the Goddess of Darkness, except for some blasphemous words that cannot be said, others have less scruples, and it is bolder to say these things. "Selena, those people from the Black Magic Priory tried their best to find you, maybe they just want to get the guidance of the Dark Goddess from you and become a follower of the Dark Goddess?"

Selena sat up straight, grabbed Suldak's hand, and said to him seriously: "The goddess told me that the group of people in the Black Magic Priory believe in the god of magic and the king of hell demons. Looking for me, just want to get shadow word from me. These magicians of the Priory are a group of lunatics advocating black magic. edge, and keep me far from them."

Suldak didn't expect that Selina, as the Goddess of Darkness's envoy, communicated quite frequently with the Goddess of Darkness.

Selena frowned, and said to Suldak, "That constructed knight smells like a demon."

The night was fading little by little, and a dazzling white line lit up on the horizon.

A beam of light was refracted into the cave from the outside, and the edge of the cave close to the lava river was actually covered with light yellow sulfur crystals. Seeing that there were some sulfur crystals hanging on the top of the cave, Surdak looked into the cave. After only walking a few steps, he saw a large piece of sulfur ore crystal growing on the wall of the cave, just like a layer of crystal hard shell condensed on the stone wall. Walking inside, the pungent smell gets worse.

He pulled out his Roman sword and dug a piece of sulfur mine on the rock wall. The sulfur fell off the rock wall of the cave, and only then did he expose the original magmatic rock inside.

The cave is full of scorching heat, and gusts of hot wind are still blowing from the depths of the cave. The hot wind is filled with a strong smell of sulfur. Surdak's consciousness has become clearer. He has already realized the sulfur on the cave wall. Where did it come from? It was brought by the hot wind gushing from the depths of the cave. The air was full of sulfur. The sulfur was deposited over the years and slowly condensed a thick layer on the cave wall.

He widened his eyes and saw that the surrounding stone walls were covered with sulfur mines, extending along the cave to the mountainside. He did not expect that there were a lot of natural sulfur mines in this cave. Sulda held Selina's hand and said I was full of excitement, "Selena, this place seems to be a sulfur mine, and there seems to be a lot of sulfur stored in this cave, at least more than the rocky area on the southern slope of the pustule mountain..."

Selena followed behind Suldak, looked at the sulfur in the cave in shock, and covered her mouth.

If his idea is true, it means that there will be more sulfur mines in this cave. He wants to take Selena to the depths of the cave to check the situation inside. His mood at the moment Some can't wait.

Just when Suldak became a little excited because of the sulfur mines in front of him, Selena suddenly pulled Rasuldak hard, and reminded him beside him: "I have a feeling...he is gradually approaching us , he came after him..."

Suldak was walking deep into the cave, he stopped and asked Selina, "Can you feel him?"

Selena nodded with great certainty, and replied: "I can feel that I used the shadow word 'pain' on him, and I even heard the sound of blood surging in his body..."

"It seems that this battle between us is unavoidable." Suldak rubbed his forehead in distress. He didn't expect to hide in the cave, but was still found by the dark red knight.

Suldak grabbed Selina and walked quickly into the cave. At this moment, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. He stood at the entrance of the cave and roared loudly: "Suldak..."

Suldak also ignored the dark red knight's shout, and did not respond with words. Instead, he re-staged the sacrificial ceremony behind a protruding sulfur stalagmite in the cave.

Selina stood aside, and she carefully watched every step of Suldak, watching him ignite the fire of his soul one by one.

Under his prayer, the demon statue reappeared...it was very tall, and the head of the demon statue was on top of the cave.

The solemn and peaceful face of the statue faced Suldak. This time, without any hesitation, Suldak took out three sand wolf heads from his pocket, one half-sacrificed to the statue, and the other The half-sacrifice was given to the golem on the other side, and the spells of the natives of the Warsaw plane were recited from Suldak's mouth, and then three bright, three dark and four beams of light fell on Suldak frequently... …

'Blessed Body'

'Shield of Blessing'

'The Eye of Truth'

'Life Burns'

'Death and Decay'

'The Whisper of Death'

For some reason, Selena had a feeling that after the three dark beams of light fell on Suldak, the demon statue in front of Suldak actually rotated a bit, and the golem that was completely turned away from Suldak was revealed. The side face came out, and the face of the god statue was tilted to the other side, and only half of the face of the god statue could be seen from the direction of Surdak.

'Tasamet...Tasamet...Tasamet...'

The distant murmuring voice reappeared in my heart, like a call from a god.

At this time, a ball of black flames emerged from the palm of Suldak's left hand, and the black flames continuously transmitted a kind of power to Suldak's body.
