Late at night, the carriages that had been moving forward had just had a change of passengers to rest when the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped significantly.
Ophina, who hadn't been able to fall asleep, suddenly sat up straight and looked around nervously.
She had walked this road more than ten times, but had never encountered this temperature before.
Her fingers tapped inadvertently on the roof of the carriage, and the mercenaries who had been dozing off stopped one by one and became cautiously on guard.
call!
A cold wind blew by, and the first to react were not the mercenaries, but the horses that had been working hard for a long time. They involuntarily slowed down and even stopped in the middle of the road.
Ophina stood up from the carriage, pointed to the road ahead, and the three mercenaries immediately jumped off their horses and cautiously peered over.
Bang!
With a seemingly insignificant impact, the three mercenaries were thrown back one after another, collapsing onto the road in front of the convoy.
"Line up!"
At a command, the mercenaries in the front row grabbed their unconscious comrades and retreated in an orderly fashion into the shield wall formed by several mercenaries behind them.
"Commander, he's not dead."
He's not dead?
Although Ofina was puzzled, her fear deepened. How many people could silently pin these three people to the ground?
A fleeting feeling of unease crossed her mind, but she could only grit her teeth and continue probing. In the blink of an eye, a pair of bright yellow eyes emerged from behind the thick, cold fog and slowly stepped out.
clang!
The demonic blade was the first thing to enter their vision, its grotesque dragon bones and twisted flesh gripping their hearts.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng, who had been completely corrupted by demonic energy, stepped out. His pure black armor revealed the texture of flesh and blood, which made the other party think of two terrifying words.
Dip!
Ophina swallowed hard, her saliva trembling. The mercenaries blocking her way also lost their strength and huddled together tightly.
"Meals".
A deep, resonant voice entered their ears, floating on the wings behind Lin Feng, slowly spreading outwards from the carriage, as if it could utterly destroy them at the slightest provocation.
Lin Feng observed carefully, his gaze never leaving anyone.
After a long silence, Ophina sighed deeply, and the people around her stirred and looked at their leader.
These people... know.
Including Chuck!
The demonic wings drew closer, and Ophina, terrified, closed her eyes and waved her arm at one of them.
Just as the other party was about to turn around, the F. Rost siblings stepped out from behind the carriage, raised their flaming wands, and unhesitatingly shot a blazing white fireball at Lin Feng.
Bang!
The demonic blade cleaved the fireball in two, scattering the shattered flames across the ground.
Immediately afterward, just as Lin Feng was about to do something, the fearful eyes of Ofina and the others suddenly turned cold, and they stared at him intently, their previous fear gone.
Um...?
Were we exposed?
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and the aura he had just created vanished in the blink of an eye.
Just then, a fireball ignited again on F. Rost's staff. The scorching air around the edge of the fireball resembled tentacles, emanating a destructive aura that devoured everything.
It is divinity, the divinity of Mantog, the god of destruction.
Lin Feng suddenly understood. No wonder the assassin said he was fake. He thought it was the strength of his power, but in reality, he didn't have any divinity at all!
Oh...
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lin Feng raised the Demon Blade.
Divinity is indeed a lofty term. When this term was created, it was intended to represent the complexity and wickedness of human nature. Moreover, the creator of this term created it precisely to represent the baseness of human nature.
If divinity is truly great, then it should not reflect the insignificance of humanity!
If divinity is great, it should not use extreme, oppressive, and contemptuous methods to destroy humanity!
If the existence of divinity is beyond human power to resist, then it can only be described as "vast"!
boom!
A fireball shot towards him, its fiery tentacles bursting forth in an instant, engulfing Lin Feng's entire body.
The black figure standing amidst the flames remained unshaken; for a fleeting moment, the scorching flames and the black power rising from his body took on the same form.
Undeniably, the moment he learned about divinity, he had already fallen into a trap. The pollution of one's cognitive perspective is far more ferocious and more inhumane than the assimilation of supernatural power!
"Food!"
Lin Feng's voice was colder than ever before, and his outstretched demonic hand was writhing with demonic power tentacles that twitched just like the fiery tentacles from before.
This time, F. Rost and his companion remained completely still, obediently lowering their heads and daring not to make any sudden movements.
Ophina loosened her clenched fist, took a box from behind her back, and handed it over with a somber expression.
The box opened before them, and the demonic hand slowly lifted a string of stone tablets inside.
These are the inscription patterns on the food items in the game. There are six in total. According to the game's settings, four are enough to complete the decay, while the remaining two are for attribute compensation.
However... this set of inscriptions, or rather the medium on which the inscriptions are written, is somewhat too rudimentary.
After a brief silence, Lin Feng stopped dwelling on the details and flew into the sky without warning, disappearing from their sight.
Only when the cold ahead of the convoy disappeared did Ophina urge the group to move forward.
On the other side, Lin Feng cleaned himself of the burning aura that clung to him and returned to the small cave where the orcs were resting.
"They'll catch up with us in about half an hour." Lin Feng squatted down next to the group, and was just surprised by the healing signs of their wounds when he heard footsteps outside.
"They are scouts from the Knights."
Their current small cave is just below the road, or more accurately, a crack, just big enough for the few of them to hide inside.
“They’ll find us.” Mar’s breathing had calmed considerably as he said to Lin Feng, “Take Rein away; I have a way to stop him…”
"Forced immersion?"
Before Renn could object, Lin Feng suggested slowly, "Why don't we escape into the deep valley and climb back up in a few days?"
“There’s no escaping it.” Mar restrained the agitated Rein: “Andis Dawn certainly has more than just these Pegasus Knights. If he suddenly dies, those Pegasus Knights will definitely obey the orders…”
You've thought things through very clearly...
Lin Feng felt that this Mar was quite interesting. Ironclad 99 monitored that hundreds of Pegasus riders took off from the mountaintop. It was because of this that, after expanding the scanning range, they discovered traces of Pegasus riders stationed on nearby mountaintops.
"You can't hold them off for long by yourself. You might as well find a way to kill them again and buy more time."
"Only when we reach Upper Dallas will we have a chance to survive."
"Ha, how can you be sure the nobles of Upper Dallas will help us?" Mar sneered a few times. "What if they, like Andis Dawn, get their hands on the goods and then defect to the Empire? We... will become victims just like them."
Lin Feng couldn't help but agree: "Yes... The Empire has blocked all roads leading to Upper Dallas, and with the Twin Flowers in bloom, this place will fall on its own before long."
Relying on a single inscription is indeed somewhat idealistic. Only by overcoming the current difficulties can they possibly launch a counterattack against the Gordondas Empire as planned.
so...
At this moment, Mal said, "So I want you to take Renn away. I will buy more time. Once we get out of the valley, we won't have to be afraid of them anymore."
