Chapter 29 The beginning of darkness
The process of this time travel is completely different from the past experience.
There was no tearing feeling of being stuffed into the monster's mouth and chewing, nor the weightlessness and inaccuracy that he had traveled through the portal for a moment. This time, Shen Yan was like being pulled upside down into a long, smooth and curved tube, and then he kept accelerating and then accelerating!
Until he felt that he had turned into light, electricity, and elementary particles. After flying for infinite time, he suddenly reversed and stopped and instantly turned from an extremely fast speed to an extreme stillness! Except for psychologically, he did not feel any inertia.
...
Darkness, this is Chen Yan’s first feeling about the new world after traveling through time.
The "glitter vision" brought by the elves' blood usually allows Chen Yan to gain an advantage in the dark, but glimmer vision still requires light. Although the elves' eyes are particularly good at capturing light, they are still useless in pure darkness.
The environment in front of you profoundly describes what "no five fingers" means.
Fortunately, there is more than one way to observe the environment... After confirming that all the items are still there, Chen Yan relaxed his heart a little, and then opened his own perception. First, he smelled a smell of soil, which was extremely scented and insufficient oxygen content; the tip of his tongue was slightly bitter, and the air obviously contained substances that were not suitable for the human body; there was no wind on the surface of his skin, which meant that the air flow here was almost stagnant; his mental touch was extended forward and backward without any obstacles, but when it extended left and right, it touched the irregular walls on the surface;
Finally, his perception of magic told him that although the magic concentration here is greater than that of the swan plane and is similar to the fragmented world of the city, it is obviously biased towards negative energy in nature!
In other words, based on the "concentration" of light, air quality, location, etc., Chen Yan roughly judged that this should be an ancient passage deep in the ground, which is likely to lead to a tomb.
Chen Yan did not lit the torch rashly, because the sense of crisis in his heart reminded him that it was not safe nearby, and the light-oriented nature of the creature would make him a target the moment the torch lighted up.
Just when Chen Yan was standing in the dark passage and considering whether to go left or right, he suddenly heard a woman's breathing, which appeared in the right position within reach!
Chen Yan was shocked! He was absolutely sure that even a millisecond ago, the position was still empty!
Then a woman suddenly appeared in that position just like the way Chen Yan appeared!
Chen Yan suddenly realized that it was another time traveler! It was exactly the same as his way of traveling!
"What should I do?" Chen Yan hesitated in his heart.
A voice told him, "Relax and be a good person! You should make a joke at this time, you can say to her, 'Yes, you are the best quality one among the people who came this time'."
But another voice was saying, "What are you still hesitating! Hurry up and kill her! Look around, this is a dark jungle, you must follow the rules of the strong! How do you know if she is malicious?! If she yells, it will bring you tons of danger!"
Although Chen Yan has evolved from a new socialist newcomer to a big boss in society, Xin has not been completely black after all, so he hesitated... However, in just a second of his hesitation, the other party helped him make a decision first.
That woman attacked him!
No hesitation for a second!
The short sword silently wiped Chen Yan's neck. If it was a complex environment like the city, the sneak attack sword would be enough to take away most people's lives. But this was in the tunnel where the air was almost solidified. Even if the short sword had slowed down, the flow of gas brought about could not be hidden from the feeling of the elf. Chen Yan raised his head, and the ruthless sword slapped the slight sound of the wind, which struck his neck! The cold cold air stained his skin!
The woman then opened her hand, and the dagger rotated half a circle in her palm and turned into a backhand holding. Then she continued to stab her hard without hesitation, pointing directly to Chen Yan's heart!
Chen Yan had time to fight back at this time, and a long sword with a scabbard was lifted up and the blade was lifted open.
Chen Yan is good at solving combat in the middle and long distances, and the long sword is already his shortest weapon. This kind of close-fitting battle is actually what he is most not good at. Especially in close combat, the most important thing is not skills, but ruthlessness and footsteps. Obviously, the other party is much better than him!
In order not to cause dangerous chain reactions around Chen Yan, all the magic with sound and light effects cannot be used, and he can't do anything to the other party for a while! The woman's arm was tightly attached to Chen Yan's body, and the short sword was within an elbow distance, flying up and down around Chen Yan!
Fortunately, Shen Yan's basic attributes, especially his agility, were much higher than the other party, and he always allowed him to avoid the sword blade in an unstoppable moment! Even if he was defeated many times within a few minutes, he was in danger!
Fortunately, both sides did not want to make a big noise in this strange place. After killing the other party, they would have to survive. So they gritted their teeth and fought hard without making a sound! Chen Yan's fist and the woman's sword kept from the opponent's vital points every time! If they could not avoid it, they would simply use the leather armor on their body to resist! Because if they were blocked with metal, they would undoubtedly make a crisp impact sound, which would be worth the effort!
Even if you use leather armor, you have to shake your body to eliminate strength and sound... It can be said that this is the weirdest battle!
Perhaps by this time, the woman already knew that she had hit the wrong person. The other party should not be the evil mage who forced her to summon her, but it was too late! Even if you stop, can you laugh and eliminate your grudges? And work together to support each other? Don’t joke, who would hand over his back to an enemy who would have to kill his own enemy a second ago? Once the trust is broken, it cannot be rebuilt. It would be better to make the mistake!
After fighting for a few more minutes, Chen Yan gradually became familiar with this fighting style and gained the upper hand by relying on his attribute advantage.
After the woman noticed it, her body suddenly retreated and her body was short... Chen Yan was caught off guard and suddenly lost the other party's lock in the darkness!
The woman's fighting experience is too rich, everything is within her expectations! Just before Shen Yan found her, she had already rushed into Chen Yan's arms, and her body was opened and completely gave up defense. She held the hilt of the short sword in both hands and stabbed Chen Yan's throat with all her strength!
However, just like Chen Yan didn't know her, she didn't know Chen Yan, just in this moment, Chen Yan did nothing. He silently used the "Dream Shield" and suspended the shield directly in front of his throat. The shield was usually made of multi-layer structure, and even if it was a metal kite shield, only the front was metal, the back was wood, the middle was filled with wood chips, and the inner layer was also lined with soft leather.
The woman's throat was obviously to prevent Chen Yan from making a sound before she died. Therefore, before she noticed the abnormality, the sword edge had already stabbed into the soft object inside the shield, and the sword edge was clamped by the shield.
Just as she was stunned by the moment, Chen Yan suddenly burst out! One hand passed through the woman's arm and locked her throat, making her unable to make a sound; the other hand pressed against the woman's chest, and her elbows were forced outward to fold her arm in the opposite direction!
The woman closed her eyes in pain... One mistake made, and the whole game was lost.
When she bit her lip and was about to bear the pain of her arm being broken, the other party suddenly stopped! The elbow that was strangling her arm did not continue to exert force, but instead grabbed her big hand, which was holding her chest, clenched again.
The woman's face was flushed, and bad thoughts surged in her heart. Could it be that he wanted to...
Although she was not afraid of death, she was afraid of losing her body inexplicably, and the woman couldn't help panic. In this posture, even if there was magic, it could not be released because it could not form a magic seal... She could only forcefully snatch the hand that was still holding the short sword. Even if she couldn't kill the other party, she could at least kill herself!
However, at this moment, she felt the man approaching and asked in a very small voice, "Catherine?"
Catherine was shocked... She would never forget this voice until she died! At this moment, her mood was as ups and downs as waves, and the survival of the disaster immediately made her lose her strength. Her hands and body were softened, and the dagger fell.
A hand holding her released, steadily catching the sword in the darkness.
"Chen...Yan? Is it you?" Catherine asked in a trembling voice.
"It's me!" Chen Yan knew that he could not tolerate jokes at this time, so he answered seriously in his voice and let go of his hand.
"Hu~" Catherine breathed a long sigh, and without saying a word, turned around and threw herself into Chen Yan's arms! She came to a strange and dark environment for no reason, and inexplicably fought with someone silently. When she was almost dying, she found that the other party was a lover who had been secretly in love for a long time. Is there anything more exciting than this?
The two of them hugged each other quietly, and no one wanted to speak. At this time, silence was better than sound.
However, if there is a third party on the scene, I must ask.
"Big breasts, can you recognize Catherine in this way? Who did you learn this trick of 'grasping the breasts and judging women' from? I want to learn to criticize..."
"Why are you here?"
The two of them asked the most concerned questions in their hearts at the same time.
Chen Yan knew that this was probably his own fault, but he was still very puzzled in his heart that the fate of intrusion into others was not a trivial matter that could be done casually. First of all, the prerequisite was that the protagonist of fate had a strong desire to change his own destiny! Secondly, he had to make a formal wish to the "God of Destiny" or non-existent existence, and wanted to pay all the price to reverse this destiny.
Only by satisfying these two premises can Chen Yan take the plea first before the non-existent "God of Destiny".
He jumped into the other party's destiny river on the premise of helping the other party reverse his destiny, but was pulled in.
The question now is... Why did Catherine, who was operating the space-time altar to travel through the time and space, be pulled over from Green Corner Bay, or even across the world? If he didn't understand this problem, he would probably not be able to start his journey easily next time.
Fortunately, those who study magic never avoid accidents, discover problems and solve problems.
Now is not the time to talk about this. Chen Yan hugged Catherine and whispered after she calmed down, "I'm not sure where this is, but I can feel that there is a great danger around me. We have to leave soon."
"I can't see anything... I was pulled into the teleportation channel in the training ground, and I only had leather armor for training and a short sword." Catherine said quickly. At this time, we should share the situation as soon as possible to make Chen Yan clear, rather than showing off and causing more trouble alone.
Under normal circumstances, a fully armed mercenary is twice as powerful as a training state! What's more, after Katherine becomes a demonized and awakened, she is still a half-baked warlock now.
"Follow me, I can see something a little, I'll take you out." It's hard to explain clearly the perception and mental touch, so Chen Yan simply said that he could see it.
While speaking, Chen Yan handed one of the two long swords, metal braided armor, pulley bow and arrow bag to Catherine, which was equivalent to half of the equipment being distributed. Catherine did not hesitate and groped to arm herself first. She knew that holding a short sword would only become a drag, and when she was armed, she still had rich experience for Chen Yan to refer to. It was not necessary to consider which of the two is more important. What?
You said that they just took each other's lives, so why did they establish a trust relationship now? Didn't it be said before?
Ahem, this is love and killing each other!
Who can tell the matter between dogs and women...
Next, it is the problem again to the left or to the right.
Going wrong, God knows how deep this cave is?
Even if you are full of persistence, you will never know whether this persistence is getting closer or further away from hope.
Chen Yan tried to find the answer from the aspects of air humidity, air flow direction, etc., but there was no difference between the two ends of the cave at twenty steps. Just when he was at a loss, Catherine gave the answer, "Toward this side!" she pointed in a direction and said quietly.
Chen Yan was in the scientific experiment, Katherine kept touching the wall and found some scratches on the wall. Someone walked through this passage, and these scratches could point out the direction of their walking. The marks on the wall were usually deep in front and shallow in the back. Generally, people only left traces on the wall when they went deep into the tunnel to prevent them from getting lost. When they left, they all rushed to the road.
After figuring it out, Chen Yan held Catherine's hand and gave a thumbs up. Catherine smiled... The mercenaries digging doors and stealing holes and doing anything, but this is experience, and sometimes it works better than anything else.
...Then the hand they held did not let go, and they walked slowly towards the direction they left.
(You can't see the great master? It should.)
The corridor is dark and long, with broken stones under your feet from time to time, coiled tree roots and bumpy soil, which can trip people up at any time! Both of them must be extremely careful to avoid making any sound.
However, the two had a very cooperative understanding. Catherine could guess what was ahead just by the power coming from the hand she was holding... In fact, Chen Yan could not see anything. He almost applied the elf's talent and perception to the extreme, and with the assistance of magic perception, Chen Yan could walk on this road like during the day.
And this road is not without dangers, in fact, dangers are everywhere!
They could hear the crawling sounds of creatures everywhere, and their bodies sounded very huge. There were also areas where negative energy suddenly became thick, and there were probably a large number of undead creatures gathered inside the vast halls!
All of these were avoided...
Creatures living in the dark usually have "dark vision" and can see infrared rays. In their eyes, humans are like walking light bulbs. Undead creatures can sense the radiation of the breath of life and are automatically awakened. But humans are also improving. Mercenaries with a little experience have learned the skills of restraining breath and isolating body temperature. Therefore, the confrontation between the two sides eventually returns to sound and vision.
...
Catherine felt Chen Yan squeezing hard twice in front of her with a large number of undead spirits!
Chen Yan led her around the distance. Catherine was a little envious. She could only barely feel some cold breath, but Chen Yan could accurately sense that "boundary". This is probably the difference between a wild path and a professional magician.
The two seemed to be moving against the wall of the hall, and they were about to walk halfway through the group of undead creatures... at this moment!
There was a loud "boom" sound!
The stone door of this hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside! And several bright torches appeared in the world outside the door! By the way, some situations in the hall were illuminated.
I bought a watch last year... I saw that there were no less than a few hundred undead warriors in the middle of the hall, wearing rusty metal armor, holding shields and swords in their hands, and they had already begun to wake up... Chen Yan pulled Catherine's hand and turned around and ran away!
However, at this moment, another "sniff" sounded
A "flare" crossed the hall, rubbed the top of the two of them and flew over them, illuminating everything!
Chen Yan and Catherine were also exposed to all the undead.
Chapter completed!
