The pale land has hills and rivers, but overall it is a plain. An ordinary person, if his eyesight is normal, can see scenes two to three kilometers away. Card Xiu and the other three are all masters at the fighter level, so they can naturally see farther and clearer. But the planet is round, so the end of their field of vision isn't exaggerated.
In other words, the limits of their field of vision are naturally limited.
However, in the pale earth, the limit of vision has no meaning at all. Because the ash falling all over the sky blocked the sight, making it difficult to see very far.
Even Ka Xiu and others could barely see one or two hundred meters.
Any further away and you can only hear sounds. And it needs a loud enough sound, because even if the ashes fall to the ground, there will still be a sound.
Three figures stood outside Huijin City, like isolated bamboo poles on the flat land. Densely packed ash fragments fell from the sky, resembling light catkins and colorful snowflakes. The slight swirling of high-altitude air currents can bring out large swaths of ash in wave-like trajectories visible to the naked eye. As the ashes fell to the ground, there was a rustling sound, and there was an inexplicable feeling of loneliness.
At a glance, Kaxiu saw a flat stretch of white snow stretching toward the end of the plain. Standing stones, strange trees, hills, and flat ground are all covered in silver, as if it's the dead of winter. However, the pale earth does not feel as cold as winter, but instead carries an unspeakable heat.
Just like the poison of fire, it grows and spreads.
A hand slowly stretched out and took a piece of white ash in the air.
Hui Jie immediately dissipated, and two streams of air went straight into Ka Xiu's hands.
One of them can be called pale fire poison, and the other is a higher concentration of disaster breath. Yes, compared to the countless dark creatures on the pale earth, powerful disaster spirits or undead spirits. The environment of the pale earth itself is the more deadly thing, and the concentration of disasters here is higher.
If the soul is directly exposed to walking on the pale earth, the time he can last is only half of the original time. From this point of view, Huijin City can indeed be regarded as a novice village.
The concentration of disasters there is quite low, and the level of danger is not too high.
"Sizzssssssssssss..."
The ghost man and the iron knight suddenly heard a sound like grease being burned by flames. In their hands, they held a turquoise stone the size of a finger knuckle, which glowed slightly and seemed to be resisting the disaster in the ashes.
Card Xiu naturally knew what it was, the ghost had already revealed it to him. The mission prop Shelter Stone provided free of charge by Black Rain Villa can protect the imprinted person in a high-concentration disaster environment. But each shelter stone can only last ten hours, and the number is very rare.
This is an expensive one-time consumable, incomparable to the reusable defensive array of the asylum tower. Ghost Man also gave Kashiu one five minutes ago, but he wasn't very happy. Obviously, I don't have enough shelter stones, so I felt a little distressed to give him one for free.
When the pale ashes fell, Ka Xiu held the shelter stone in his hand, but stuffed it into his pocket. He exhaled a stream of hot air slightly from his nostrils, and the Demon Elephant Secret Martial Arts began to operate automatically. The Demon Image's life magnetic field emanated from the core of his body in circles. Penetrates through skeletal muscle membranes like water.
Finally it reaches the surface of the body, like black scales.
The ash fell on the scales, the fire poison was eliminated, and the disaster airflow was also eliminated by half. It is no different from the environment in Huijin City.
The ghost and the iron knight looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They all looked at Kaxiu. At this moment, the surface of Kaxiu's body seemed to be covered with large black scales, like a totem of ancient sacrifices.
"It's not enough. The resistance to disasters can be even higher..."
Ka Xiu murmured to himself. He followed the steps of breathing, heartbeat rate, and blood circulation frequency and activated the Golem Secret Martial Arts with all his strength.
Suddenly, the golem's energy surged wildly in his body, and then spurted out from under his skin like hot water bubbling. It seemed like water vapor enveloped Kaxiu's entire package, turning into a black column of air that shot straight into the sky.
The ghost man and the iron knight involuntarily stepped back more than ten meters.
They could feel a strong threat of demonic aura.
call……
The black vapor swirled to form a vortex. In the vortex, a huge figure loomed, and finally appeared completely on the pale earth.
It has bony pointed vertebrae and a long tail, hooked barbs, sword-shaped scales, huge camel toe-like soles, and terrifying muscles full of blood vessels. The demon statue standing in the gray rain is four meters high. It is not a slender and streamlined shape, but a majestic and tall tank. The sarcoma on his knees and shoulders protruded, as if they were the steel shoulder armor of an ancient knight. On the back of the inverted triangle, the surface of the vertebrae is covered with dense spikes, like teeth that bite each other, inexplicably ferocious.
Look at the sharp and stiff curves of the joints and the heavy muscle armor and stomach.
This is clearly a terrifying fighting machine born to kill.
The ghost man grasped the sickle with vigilant hands, and the strength surged throughout his body, suppressing the fear in his heart. The Iron Knight also assumed a full-strength fighting posture, with his left arm stretched across the front of his body, and the heavy sword behind his back was stuck in the crook of his arm.
"Huh~"
Two hurricanes rushed out from the demon elephant's nostrils, winding like snakes.
"Don't be nervous, you two. It's just another form of my boxing will. This is a world of disaster, and our bodies are made up of spirit. When the boxing will and the spirit are condensed, we can change the form..."
The demon suddenly opened its mouth to speak, and its voice was like Hong Zhongdalu.
When the ghost man heard this, he gradually let down his guard. He was once fortunate enough to have brief contact with a martial arts fighter and saw him take action.
The energy surges up, and with each punch, the illusion of boxing will naturally forms. Card Xiu is also in the same situation, but this guy's boxing will is a little too evil, a little too demonic.
It's almost like, like some kind of powerful dark creature!
Winter, winter, winter...
The four-meter-high demon statue walked over step by step, and the ground trembled slightly.
The golem's face showed an expression of human thought.
Card Xiu discovered that Golem Miwu is very suitable for the world of disaster. He pushed the technique with all his strength and used his energy to condense the illusion of the devil. This illusion can be maintained unexpectedly, and the consumption of card repair is very small.
Only one percent or even one thousandth of the real world.
While in the golem state, Card Xiu's resistance to high-concentration disaster auras actually crossed several stages and reached an extremely high level, which was twenty times greater than before! In other words, he can move freely for two hundred hours in a place with a low concentration of disasters like Huijin City. Able to move on the pale land for one hundred hours, which is about four days. With Ka Xiu's mobility, four days was enough for him to reach another special area.
"It seems that while the Golem Miwu imitates the dark creature Golem, it also inherits some of its characteristics. For example, disaster resistance, and its powerful deterrent force against low-level dark creatures." Card Xiu commented in his heart: "But after all, it It is a secret martial art, not a real dark creature. Therefore, it is still unable to survive directly in the disaster world like dark creatures..."
He simply adapted to it again and became slightly familiar with it. Then he turned around and said to the ghost iron knight: "Let's go, I will lead the way from the front."
winter.
The golem stepped forward and made a deep footprint. In a few steps, he walked dozens of meters, facing the gray sky.
Behind him, the ghost man and the iron knight looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Card Xiu's devilish posture is really scary.
But after all, the two of them were well-informed and did not lose their sense of proportion. After a slight adjustment, the ghost man and the iron knight followed suit and entered the pale.
Ashes rolled across the sky and turned into a burst of white flakes as they fell. The world of disaster is not the real world, but it still has the weak and the strong. There is no difference between low-level dark creatures that have lost their minds and normal beasts.
On the ground, a giant dry tree spreads and covers. The tree trunk is not a single thick tree, but twisted and intertwined vines like green and black arms. The surface is covered with densely packed black spikes.
The position of the crown of the tree is particularly strange. It is not branches and leaves, but roots that dance wildly like tentacles. At the end of the roots, human baby-like arms fluttered in the wind, glowing slightly.
A swarm of dark, bat-like creatures flew across the sky. They have bodies like human babies, deformed heads, and wings formed by overlapping layers of fleshy membranes. The tips of the wings were dripping with black water.
The black water fell to the ground and suddenly turned into flames and burned.
They flew in groups over the woods, heading towards the burning river. One or two of them flew too low, causing riots among the dead trees. Black tentacles shot out like snakes, dancing wildly in the air like seaweed drifting with the current. A tree was triggered, and the commotion caused a large forest to start rioting.
At a glance, it is simply a rolling black ocean. In the ocean, there are countless struggling hands, floating in pain in despair.
A dozen dark bat-like creatures were caught and dragged down in an instant. In a few seconds, there was no trace of the body left.
The remaining survivors fluttered their wings and quickly disappeared in the rain of ashes. Not far away, under a colony of bats. In front of it is a river, but instead of water flowing in the river, it is fire.
It was a liquid white fire that burned the air quietly.
The black fire on the wings of these bat-like dark creatures needs to be supplemented by soaking in this liquid white fire. Many dark creatures in the pale earth need this liquid fire. Some are soaked and some are drank. And some just sit back and wait, ambush at the source of the fire.
For example, now, more than fifty bats jumped into the river of fire to soak.
Next to the river of fire, densely packed firethorn grass grows. And among the firethorns, a two-meter-long lizard was eager to try. It also has a strange shape, with a head in front and a head in the tail. There are also sarcoma-like protrusions on the back, forming an outline similar to a human face.
From the holes of the sarcoma, wisps of green smoke slowly merged into the air.
stop!
The lizard rushed out and jumped into the river of fire. The sarcoma on the back fired green poisonous arrows, directly piercing several bats. Its two heads opened together, and its mouth opened to bite the bat's baby-like body.
The sickle-like saw teeth are tearing, trying to feast on it.
Unexpectedly, it thought the bat was prey, but actually the bat was bait.
A three-meter-tall figure suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the liquid flame, and bit the lizard into two pieces with its huge mouth. Its huge body stood upright, and its eyes emitted a strange light on the surface of its carapace. The pliers-like claws grasped the two body parts of the lizard and brought them to its big mouth.
Winter winter winter! Winter winter winter! Winter winter winter!
A series of sounds like crushing tanks quickly came from far to near.
The armored centipede-like dark creature stopped and turned its head blankly.
Peng!
!
It seemed as if it was hit by a train, and its entire upper body flew out, leaving only half of its body lying in the flaming river. The upper half of the body was rolling on the ground, still alive. A huge camel toe-like sole stepped down hard, crushing it into flesh and making holes.
In the gray and white rain, a majestic and tall iron tower stands.
As soon as it appeared, a domineering and dangerous aura spread rapidly along the river. The dark creatures lurking in the grass or in the river were startled, whimpered and roared a few times, and then fled in all directions.
The demon transformed by Ka Xiu lowered his head slightly and absorbed the centipede's life vibration energy. He was helping the ghosts and iron knights clear the way. Wherever he walked, there would be traces of aura, and wild beasts would not dare to walk nearby. In addition, he was also testing the intimidating power of the golem's courage.
After more than a dozen encounters, Card Xiu almost understood. The aura of the golem is a bit more intimidating than the strongest disaster spirit, but it certainly cannot reach the level of the ultimate form of darkness. It can only scare wild beasts.
He feels that this is actually quite practical. There is no need to waste time and energy on some miscellaneous fish and avoid over-consumption before actually hunting. Card Xiu let go of his palm, and the devouring of life vibration energy ended.
The golem took long strides and walked into the tentacle forest.
Everything is as usual, the tree is still the same tree and will not move at all. Card Xiu left across the woods, but the tentacle forest still showed no reaction at all.
Until two minutes later, the ghost man and the iron knight walked in. Suddenly the tentacles danced wildly and the flames whipped, as if it turned into a hell where demons danced wildly.
】
The two of them were suddenly attacked and were a little embarrassed. The ghost man's robe and mask were somewhat damaged, and there were also black marks of flame whipping on the iron knight's armor. Then he broke out of the tentacle forest and caught up with Kaxiu.
"You two..."
Ka Xiu looked at the disgraced ghost man and was speechless. It's better not to explore the road ahead of time and lead the group like a nanny.
"Follow me closely, I feel that the Undead Cemetery is nearby..."
The demon took steps forward, moving forward at a neither fast nor slow speed.
The ghost man and the iron knight smiled awkwardly and quickly followed.
Time passed by minute by minute, and five or six hours had passed since everyone left Huijin City. They have penetrated deep into the pale earth.
This is the southeastern corner of the pale land, the top of a hillside.
Three figures stood on it, looking into the distant sky.
There, black light and blood twined up, like two pythons.
The smell of decay and danger can be felt from afar.
"The Cemetery of the Undead has arrived..."
