Chapter 1 Crossing the Border
The howling cold wind blew across the black rock mass, and the strong airflow rolled up snow foam in the sky. These churning gray-white colors seemed to cover up the faint black mist in the air, leaving only a series of terrifying sounds breaking through the air in the void.
The gloomy sky was pressed very low, and the black and black mountain seemed extremely monotonous, but suddenly, there was a faint distorted texture in the void at the pass, and the invisible ripples gradually spread and became more and more obvious. Not long after, a circle of azure glow lit up on the ground. In a trance, a space leap like an energy explosion occurred.
Dozens of figures appeared out of thin air in the aperture. Before the glow of the teleportation array fell, the rough words spread out in the air: "This environment is too bad, right? The sky is dark, the earth is cold, and there is a stinking smell in the air. It looks poisonous no matter how you look. I can guarantee that it will be difficult for even the Minotaur tribe to survive normally here."
"Kapoca, silent!" Fuldera, who had just completed the plane teleportation, glared at the bull-headed warrior beside her fiercely, and then she began to look at the surrounding environment.
Several people walked forward on the low-high Floating Snow Kakaka and walked around the teleportation array for a while. Leding then pinched a snow ball: "The natural environment here is better than I guess. At least the main component of this gray-white snow is still water."
"Lord, I feel that there is something hidden in the mountain." The Texon Shaman walked over. His keen perception had already vaguely communicated with the spirit of the earth. A hostile pressure was gathering around him.
"If there is a monster, will we be afraid of who else?" Before Leding could speak, Nimilly, dressed in military uniform, took up the topic. She was looking at the leader of everyone with a proud look, looking down on everyone's head with a look of no other than me.
There were only twenty-nine people following Leiding into the sub-plane of the Obsidian Plateau this time!
In addition to Fuldra and Capoca, standing beside Leiding, there were Clark of the Lux tribe, Texon, Nemily, and Grom of the Eye of the Behemoth. As for the other soldiers, they were all Golden-level orc warriors.
When Leding saw Nemily's arrogant look, she couldn't help but sigh. Although this nineteenth princess with the Eye of the Giant Beast was not bad, her temperament could not be praised. Based on the principle that more things are worse than less things. Leding ignored her arrogance.
"The plane teleportation just now is likely to attract the attention of the guardians of the secondary plane. Let's leave here first!" After erasing the traces of the teleportation array, Leding issued his first order.
The exploratory troops of thirty people did not carry too much supplies. So after Leding gave the order, they jumped directly into the black mountains and quickly disappeared into the fine snowflakes.
Volunteering Nimilly took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the forward scout. She and Texon walked on the side of the team, bent on the siege of people to capture the natives in several sub-planes and get the first-hand information here.
While the team was moving forward, Leding did not forget to instruct everyone to collect geological specimens and vegetation samples. Unfortunately, in the second plane in the deep winter, there was a bare area everywhere, except for the lichen moss growing in the cracks of the rocks, there was no life.
This exploration action is a field investigation by Leding, while sorting out the things in the territory, to deliberately carry out a field investigation of the secondary plane!
As Leiming Port enters a high-speed channel for development, the territory has more and more demands for magic resources, and the local resource reserves have become increasingly poor. A few days ago, when Shari counted the procurement lists of various departments, he even found that the total budget had been terrifyingly reached the terrifying situation of tens of millions of gold coins. This is simply forcing Leding to develop resources in the secondary plane as soon as possible.
After all, the sub-plane is different from the wild land of the Black Forest. Although the sub-plane is full of crises, compared with the demonized environment and the furious elemental state of the Black Forest, the sub-plane has a stable topography and is more suitable for large-scale resource development.
Since the exploration plan is mainly based on magic resources and mineral resources, the first stop that Leding chose is the Obsidian Plateau sub-plane, which is very different from Leiming Port. It not only has a large area, but also has plateau and volcanic landforms. If it is expected, all kinds of magic minerals will inevitably be extremely rich.
In fact, Leding soon gained something. He took a miner's hoe and knocked down a few black stones on a bare magma rock wall. After a little identification, he found that it was obsidian of good quality. In the blue pattern of the rock formation, there were actually many beautiful malachite and moon stones.
But before Leding expanded his exploration range, a thunder and anger came over. Amid the sound of bat wings, hundreds of black shadows suddenly appeared in the dark sky. The familiar black body and huge stone bat wings showed the identity of the uninvited guest. This turned out to be a group of obsidian gargoyles!
"It's an alchemist! Everyone fight quickly!" While Leding spoke, he directly released the range-forbidden air spell.
In the azure glow, half of the gargoyles immediately fell from the sky. With the impact of lightning and thunder and the flickering of swords and swords, whether it was the shadows that fell into the sky or the monsters that swooped down, they were all beaten into pieces all over the ground.
"Lord, there is a gargoyle knight here. Unfortunately, we fired too hard, and he has already died." Kapoka walked over with a corpse that looked like a monster. The corpse was covered in scorch and its hair was angry. It must have been killed by lightning.
Leding walked up and saw that the monster's race was the servant creature that the academy mage liked to raise. But strangely, the monster did not have any mage's branding symbols on it, which showed that he did not have a master.
"Put him down, I'll try it with the undead magic to see if I can detect his memories of his life." Leding's hands suddenly opened, and the jumping Nether Fire was then stimulated. A wisp of ghost that roared out of the monster's body, and then pulled into Leding's palm. After dozens of seconds of soul-squeezing, the monster's death essence was completely shattered.
Straws of memory fragments were recalled by the magical power, but except for a picture, they were all blurred. Everyone only saw the monster lying on the ground and receiving the order of a huge black shadow to search for the invaders in the mountains.
"Lord, it seems that we have been targeted by the indigenous leaders!" Fuldera communicated with the spirit of the earth in the mountains, and a series of warning signals were clearly expressed.
"Tell me the direction! Since a group of obsidian gargoyles can come so soon, there is at least a gargoyle nest nearby, and maybe there is a Dragon God Fortress!" Leding narrowed his eyes. Since the natives in the sub-plane had noticed it, he did not intend to hide it. Instead of trying to explore the resource information, it would be better to arrest some natives for interrogation.
"First ahead! No, Nimilly and Texon have rushed forward!" Fuldera shouted suddenly.
"Then let's go together!" Leding waved his hand and issued an order for the entire army to attack. Although he was not many people this time, the weakest one was the golden middle-level combat power, and the main personnel all enlightened the elemental power.
This time, a large group of obsidian gargoyles came, but there were monsters holding muskets on the back of the gargoyles. Amid the sound of ping-pong fire, dozens of figures of lamp gods flew over from afar, and a chaos began in the valley. Amid the glory of magic and the roar of muskets, the encounter lasted for more than twenty minutes before it ended.
After annihilated hundreds of enemies, Leding found that more than a dozen orcs rushing into the enemy formation were injured, and the one with the worst injuries was hit by the sound wave explosion of the God of Light. At this moment, he had already become a state of more breathing and less breathing.
Texon also rushed back with Nimilly. At this moment, the orc princess was covered in fireworks. Her arrogant expression also turned into an angry expression. As soon as she met, Nimilly gritted her teeth and said, "Lord, these alchemists are too cunning. They actually set up an ambush. If you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid Texon and I would have..."
When Leding was about to speak, his face changed slightly. He stared at the mountain road in the distance and directly released a group flight miracle: "You guys take the wounded, let's hide in the mountain now!"
After using spells to arrange the traces of turning around and escaping, Leding released the black fog technique and took his soldiers and wounded soldiers to the steep cliff next to it. Not long after, five or six hundred alchemists drove over with nearly a thousand alchemy golems.
"Lord, the natives here seem to be very informative!" Fuldra grinned at Leiding.
"Then turn these good materials into our Leiming Port resources!" Leding looked at the alchemist warriors hurriedly under the mountain, and gradually looked at the endless darkness in front of the mountain road.
Judging from the performances of the natives, the secondary plane, which is full of Black Stone Mountain, is probably based on alchemy warriors as the main combat power. Otherwise, some regular troops would always appear in such a long time. So after thinking about it, Leding decided to carry out the beheading operation and wait for an opportunity to seize the alchemy fortress in this secondary plane.
Before Leding finished setting up the combat plan, Texon Shaman suddenly interrupted and said, "Lord, Dukil can't do it!"
Looking at the orc warrior with a slightly undulating chest and a mouth full of bleeding, Ledin couldn't help but sigh. Since he had used advanced healing techniques, his injuries could not be restored, so Ledin closed his eyes and shook his head at Texson.
Texon first looked at Nimillie, then he made up his mind, pulled out the dagger from his boots, and suddenly stabbed into the chest of his companion who was breathing but could not breathe for a while. He was extremely solemnly stained with the blood on the dagger and had a revenge war pattern on his face.
Such a move represents Texson's swearing to take revenge, and he wants those natives who attacked the sub-planet to pay their blood debts!
