After discussing it all afternoon, we still couldn't come up with a solution.

No matter what method is used, it cannot get around the chasm of the ancient soulless card. Even if it can be separated from the girl, when it realizes that this is a conspiracy, it will be enough to rush back to the girl and crush everything.

In the final analysis, it is because the strength of the ancient soulless card is too strong. For us, it is absolutely powerful. In addition, they are not stupid. Any strategy will be weak and pale in the face of absolute strength. Unless we have

Wisdom like Belial is another story.

Although several elders thanked them profusely and thought that we were good enough friends for this and there was no need to take this risk, their hunched backs as they left still touched us deeply.

After being imprisoned for thousands of years, he can still hold back his strong hope. For the sake of our safety, such an ally is worth saving.

How to save? Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Even Raphael in the telegraph paper was silent, obviously not thinking of any good solution.

Under the arrangement of Elder Leighton, our group stayed in the central tower, thinking and observing the enemy's actions.

A few days later...

"Elder Leiton, why haven't you seen the ancient soulless card?"

In a mysterious space in the central tower, everyone stood inside the magic circle and observed a three-dimensional image.

This three-dimensional image shows the surrounding environment, and the monster enemies show red dots. Although simple, it is more detailed and intuitive than the sand table. For more than half a year, the Horadric clan has relied on

In this way, you can always avoid the enemies biting behind you without being caught by their tails.

Now, you can see that the monster army is divided into three groups. The group closest to us is located dozens of kilometers southwest. There are many densely packed small dots. A rough calculation should be tens of thousands.

One of the red dots is particularly prominent. Not only is it much larger than the other red dots, but it also emits circles of red light like a radar signal, just like the location of the final boss on the game map.

According to Elder Layton, this red dot represents the location of the mysterious girl.

So what about Brother Card? Logically speaking, the red dot it represents should be larger than the girl, and the aperture it emits is more intense. But from the first time we came here, until now,

I have never seen Brother Ka’s red dot.

I even wonder if Elder Layton’s old eyesight is dim. This red dot should represent Brother Card, right?

"No reason...impossible...why..." Without noticing my suspicious gaze, Elder Leighton muttered to himself in front of the three-dimensional image map, with a different look on his face.

"When did the ancient soulless cards disappear?" He suddenly turned his head and asked the Horadric mage next to him who had been monitoring the map.

"Elder, three days ago, when Elder Fan first came here, not only that, but more than half of the monster troops that had been chasing us were also missing." The mage lowered his head slightly and replied, looking at us.

His eyes were filled with awe and adoration.

Could it be that he thought it was our appearance that scared away the ancient soulless cards? What an international joke this is.

"It's strange, why is this happening? In the past, although the ancient soulless card occasionally disappeared, it never left the girl for more than half an hour." Elder Leiton muttered to himself again, his eyes falling on

On us, there is a slight smile.

"Could it be that he was really scared away by Elder Fan?"

"Elder Leighton, please stop teasing me. If I could scare away the ancient soulless card, I would have gone to the Duriel Palace deep in the ancient tomb."

My helpless sigh made everyone laugh. Although the future is unclear and we don't know whether we can get out of trouble, no matter what, our appearance has made these Horadrics a lot more cheerful.

"Seriously, Elder Fan, what do you think the abnormal behavior of the ancient soulless card means?"

"In this case..." I thought for a moment and replied seriously: "I think this is a trap. After all, Horasan is also a member that cannot be ignored in the entire Western Kingdom's hell power system. It was defeated. Others

The strong men in hell will definitely receive the news as soon as possible. I think the ancient soulless card may have known that we are here, so it deliberately hid it and wanted to lure us out and kill us. Is this possible? "

"Well, that's pretty much what I think. There seems to be no other better explanation. However, would it be too obvious to do so? Judging from our dealings with it for more than half a year, the ancient soulless card

He doesn’t look like a guy who would play such a bright card.”

"No matter what, we can't take action now to capture this mysterious girl."

Looking at the red circle on the map, Layton and I both licked our lips in unison, completely treating her as a piece of fat. Unfortunately, even though it was on our lips, we didn't dare to take a bite because of many worries.

It would be a pity if there weren't the ancient soulless cards watching eagerly from the sidelines.

"It is not an option to continue like this. For more than half a year, our food has been extremely scarce. The water is okay. Those monsters have not ambushed the water source. It is convenient to get water. It is just food. No food can be grown inside the central tower. We are now

I can only survive now by relying on my previous savings and the gains from my short stay, but... I can no longer support it for much longer."

Thinking of those warehouses that had been emptied, Layton smiled bitterly. Even the sandworms, scorpions, rats, snakes, etc. in the nearby desert had almost been eaten.

Could it be that under forced circumstances, we really have to hunt and eat those monsters?

As he was thinking about it, Layton's stomach suddenly made an emptying sound. Even though his face was wrinkled and his skin was tanned by the sun, a slight redness could be seen on his old face.

"We can't go on like this, we have to find a way." Hungry made him wiser, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Leighton's mind.

"I have an idea."

"What can we do? As long as we can help, it doesn't matter." We asked quickly. We saw the Horadric tribe's current predicament, and we were anxious in our hearts. The dry food we had was constantly distributed to the children. Now

We are also running out of ammunition and food, and we are about to starve.

"Since the ancient soulless card can set traps in the dark and lead us to appear, then we can also do the opposite and test it."

Saying this, the ideas in Layton's mind gradually became clearer. After a while, a complete and feasible plan was formed.

He took a few steps forward and pulled hard on the three-dimensional image map. Just like swiping the touch screen, the map moved quickly and landed in another place, a corner that seemed far away from our current location.

"This is the edge of the storm. The reason why our Horadric clan is trapped, I think everyone knows, is because the defensive magic circle created by our ancestors was too powerful and built a circular storm wall in the center of the entire desert.

, trapping the entire Horadric inside, making it impossible to get out through the storm, and Horazon blocked our backup channel, so we were forced to be trapped here."

Everyone is familiar with this dark history of the Horadric tribe and nodded.

"This is the edge of the storm wall." Pointing to a corner on the map, Layton continued.

"Our people have explored here and found that there is a canyon here, located on the edge of the storm wall. Although we cannot pass through the storm wall through here, we can enter the interior of the storm wall."

"Then what should we do?" Everyone's eyes fell on the map.

"The storm wall has a characteristic, that is, it can block all perceptions. We entered it through the canyon and introduced the mysterious girl together. Once the girl's existence cannot be sensed, the ancient soulless card will probably be unable to sit still. By then,

He will definitely appear. Inside the storm wall, even he can't find the girl quickly. We can use this time..."

At the end, everyone's eyes lit up and they all realized the feasibility of this plan.

"What if that girl doesn't want to follow us in?" Sa Qili suddenly asked from the side.

"If that's the case, there is no other way." Layton smiled bitterly.

"No matter what, you have to give it a try. Elder Leighton, is there anything else you need to add? If not, let's take action immediately."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then, Elder Fan."

"As long as it's not an ancient soulless card, I'm still a little confident. Everyone, please keep your wind tight so that I can escape in time." I laughed.

"Aizara, go and inform us of the change of target, new target, Storm Canyon!"

A mage took the order and left, but we continued to stay and discuss the details, such as how to release the wind. It cannot be sensed in the canyon. It interfered with the ancient soulless card and also interfered with us, making the difficulty and danger of wind protection

raised dramatically.

Then the technique of pulling monsters must be sharp. Similarly, because she cannot sense it, the girl may not be able to track us with some strange means. We must keep a certain distance from her and let her catch up.

It's easier to get started when you go deeper into the canyon.

After making a detailed plan, we were not far from Storm Canyon. We took a look at the map. Hey, those stupid hell army, including the girl, followed us. Now, we have to see if they are willing to enter the canyon.

If you are alert and unwilling to enter, all your plans will be in vain.

"Since there is a place like Storm Canyon that can isolate perception, why didn't we hide inside it in the first place?" Suddenly, I thought of this question and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Although Storm Canyon can isolate perception, the energy of the storm inside is too strong, and there is no food or water source at all. Not to mention that these storms can also cause erosion to the central tower. If you stay there for a long time, the central tower will be damaged.

The towers will all be destroyed.”

"That's it." I nodded clearly, my eyes fell on the map, and I stopped talking.

Everyone's attention was also on the map, watching the central tower approaching Storm Canyon little by little, watching the dense red dots behind them, and following them little by little.

Finally, the green dot representing the central tower on the map slowly entered a T-shaped opening. The moment I entered the mouth of the canyon, I didn't know if it was an illusion, but I suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing over me.

, the whole person shivered involuntarily.

Looking at other people, including my king, everyone also had this reaction. Only Layton and the other Horadrics seemed relatively calm, as if they had known about it for a long time.

What's going on? It's obviously protected by the central tower. Where did this dark wind come from?

Our eyes fell on the Storm Canyon again, and our expressions became solemn. Needless to say, the eerie feeling just now must have been caused by the storm wall created by the Horadric tribe.

No wonder, it was said that even the three demon gods could not break through the defense of this storm wall head-on. I originally thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that the truth is not that simple.

After sighing with emotion, all our attention was focused on the red dot behind us.

Will they catch up? Success or failure depends on this move...
