Chapter 6 Dark Journey

()

The Arquice Mountains run across the vast continent north and south, and to the east are countless hills and vast plains. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the land is fertile, and the land is thriving. Here are the three great empires of mankind and dozens of federal principalities. Most people believe in light, and the Holy Church has a great say in this continent. Here, it is called the "Sacred Alliance" by all the intelligent creatures on the continent.

To the west of the Alquez Mountains are endless mountains, wrapped with few rivers and plains, and to the west of it, there is a scent of sulfur-smelling abyss hell, which is said to live in terrifying demons. Large areas of primeval forests cover most of the areas, countless beasts travel through them, and the smoke that never dissipates all year round covers mountains, rivers and rivers, and darkness and evil are born. The intelligent creatures here believe in darkness, advocate violence and conspiracy, and evil are brought to life.

It is regarded as the highest faith. For generations, there are orcs and the Dark Night Clan that feed on blood. Of course, there are a large number of humans. Most of them hide here after the Holy Alliance was labeled as pagan. They hated each other but were united in unity. It is said that in the deepest ancient mountains of this mountain, there are still a few ancient dragons living in this ancient mountain range. This place is called the "dark land" by the Holy Alliance, and the intelligent creatures here are also called pagans.

In short, the Cangmang Continent is a world where swords and magic, saints and pagans, dragons and beasts coexist. It is also a world where blood and fire, love and tears, subversion and counter-subversion, belief and despise, fantasy and turmoil are all the time.

God said that all unrest is the root of sin. And all believers said that the true root of sin is that God has abandoned us.

Yes, the Gods that are high above and are the weak and abused, have disappeared for thousands of years, and the so-called miracles have never seen them personally. The so-called faith has gradually faded from generation to generation. Usually, people believe in or rely on themselves more, and only those who are sad and despair will put God above survival.

God has become the most funny topic of private talk for the nobles, and the civilians in the lower class will still show a hint of awe in their eyes when talking about God, just a little bit, not even as good as the fear they reveal when they see the lord or the sheriff.

….

Under the blood rose's urgency, Griffili and others packed up the grilled or grilled half-baked horse jerky one after another, and began to cross the mountains that broke in front of them. Perhaps because of their eating, the crowd crossed the mountains before them before noon this time and arrived at a canyon without any danger. Their dark journey will start from here.

Under the reminder of the family guards around him, Griffili knew that this canyon had a terrifying name, "The Canyon". It means that if you enter the canyon, you will embark on a road of no return.

But for Griffili, who was reborn from death, what is the point of not returning? The end of the road is the rebirth! Moreover, now they are driven to the shelves and have no choice but to retreat.

Griffili ignored the guard's apology and stepped into the Canyon of No Return. In an instant, a cold chill of death arose from his heart, and his body was covered with goosebumps due to tension.

A whirlwind circling in the valley, colliding with the cliff walls on both sides made a strange "whimper" sound, which was really creepy.

After marching hundreds of meters like this, not to mention the beast, even the bones of the beast were not found. At this moment, the sentry who was already rushing in front finally discovered a simple trap composed of vines, wooden frames and sharp bamboo strips. It was cut into pieces by the sentry's sword - it was triggered rather than being discovered, but the sentry looked complacent, and in his opinion, these pagans in the Dark Land were nothing more like this.

"Damn it, I can't move forward anymore. This must be a gathering place for some dark creatures. They gnawed us out of bones." Everrey howled loudly, his sharp voice echoed in the canyon for a long time, repeatedly testing their hearts and ear drums, which shocked the strongest warriors in a cold sweat.

In addition to the irrelevant little fright, the howl actually scared people, in fact, few people even looked back at him, and more people's eyes were focused on Griffili. There was no doubt that he was now the actual commander of the team.

"Dark creature?" Griffili smiled at the corner of his mouth, "For me, there is only a chance where there are people." Thinking of this, he directly ignored Everre's attitude and looked at Kang Duo. He was not afraid of Kang Duo's opposition, but in fact, Griffili would not let Kang Duo stop there, and he could get rid of this evil spirit.

Facing Griffili's inquiry, Kang Duo just slapped his beautiful eyebrows, then turned his head to the side, as if she had seen through Griffili's trick, and was silent.

The troops continued to go on the road, but this time, in order to prevent accidents, Griffili sent a total of 100 sentries, or a scapegoat, to set the way in front. Seeing that everyone ignored his reminder, Everre had no confidence to fight back with the strength of his less than 200 people, he muttered a few words beside Kang Duo, and saw that she ignored him, so he could only follow.

The entire bluff of Bugui Canyon was undulating in irregular waves. Griffili, who was walking in front of him, always felt that countless eyes were peeking at them. Although this feeling was not good, he could only walk forward with his teeth.

The team was trembling and approaching the middle of the canyon, it was almost dusk. When they walked here, their vision suddenly became clear. The steep cliff walls turned into relatively steep slopes. The trees covering the entire canyon above their heads became strangely loose here. The not-so-strong light shone into the canyon through the branches, forming round spots at the bottom of the valley, making Griffili, who had almost adapted to the dim vision, and the eyes were dazed in front of them. All the scenes they saw turned into two blurred, and then slowly merged into one.

"Ah..." At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the front. When more than 100 sentries who were exploring the way first rolled and crawled back, there were less than fifty people, and many of them were injured - feather arrows penetrated through the gaps in their armor.

Apparently, they were attacked by unknown dark creatures.

"What happened?" Griffili asked, holding a warrior who was hit by two arrows on his shoulder.

When answering him, there were dense figures on the cliffs on both sides and rushed down the slopes on both sides, surrounding Griffili and the others in front of the team. The defeated generals of the Menid Empire under the cliff did not escape this time. In fact, they had no war horses, and could not escape these hideous monsters with a much taller figure than them. Instead, they raised their shields in their hands as soon as possible and prepared to fight back.
