Vol 4 Chapter 67: Deserted land

When the boy's figure stood in front of Harry Gerns and others again, his eyes were already full of awe.
That was the last thing Xiuyi wanted to see.
"If I can, I would like to tell you my identity in another way, but now I don't need to explain anything," he said.
Harry Gerns shrugged. "You saved our lives."
"Not everyone's." Xiu Yi was a little emotional.
"You've tried your best, we can all understand." Harry Gerns sighed. Originally, I wanted to make a fortune by hunting King Kong rhinoceros, but the group suffered heavy losses, and four of the eight were left. It is luck to be alive.
He didn't worry that Xiuyi would kill them. If that was the case, Xiuyi would just choose to do nothing. But he was still curious to say, "In the propaganda of the Empire, you are an asshole."
"For them, that's not excessive propaganda. It's like you are in the eyes of Vajrayana," Xiuyi's answer surprised everyone.
Is not it? For the diamond rhinoceros, they lived on this land without any care. The appearance of humans has greatly reduced their living space. Even so, humans will not give up their hunting, use, and ignore their pain.
For the vast majority of Warcraft, human beings are unforgettable demons.
It is a pity that they do not know unity, cooperation and creation, otherwise Warcraft might kick humans out of this world.
Udic came over: "Thank you, Ann ... I think I should call you to repair Iglell. So what next?"
In this situation, Harrigues is seriously injured, Xiuyi has become a well-deserved leader, but apparently he has no interest in leading a Warcraft team.
Xiu replied: "This place is a bit weird. The strength of King Kong rhino seems to be affected by some kind of power. My pet ... oh, it's back."
In the jungle, Xu came to Xiu's sidelessly. He has transformed into a little boy and got into Xiuyi's arms: "Father, I'm ashamed, I've also lost my mother's face, I even lost our abyss The faces of the dragons. "
"It's a good thing for you to let you know that racial superiority is not the only capital you can rely on."
"I will work hard."
"It's okay, you're still a child. It's nature to be delicious and playful."
"It doesn't sound like comfort at all." Xu muttered.
The scene surprised Harry and others, pointing at the little guy: "It's ..."
"He's the magic dragon just now," Xiu answered.
"It's your father?" Carmela couldn't believe it.
This made Xiu helpless: "I and his mother are innocent ... Forget we do not explain this, this is still a secret to the empire, the power I have exposed, the empire only knows the black warrior and blazing Bird. I don't want to hear about Xu as a magic dragon in the future ... This is not a request. "
"We understand, please be assured that we won't tell you what happened to you." Harry Gaines responded immediately.
Xiu Yi's previous words were undoubtedly a reminder that if this matter was leaked out, they would become the enemy of Xiu Yi.
Xiu Yi's attitude towards the enemy is like the rumor of the Empire: do no evil.
The Warcraft team's hunting plan has failed. Xiu Yi has learned enough from this team and his identity has been exposed. There is really no need to stay.
Nodded to the black warrior, the black warrior whistled, and the figure of the undead monster rat floated to the ground.
"Carmela and Harry are sitting on the monster mouse, Udyk, you can only run with it. I will give Harry your temporary command of the monster mouse, it should help you to leave the land of grace."
"What about you, Xiuyi?" Carmela asked pale, her blood loss was too much, and she could still stand up and talk.
Xiu Yi looked back at the direction in which the rhinoceros disappeared: "This place is a bit weird. I'm going to explore it to see what caused all this. Maybe that diamond rhinoceros can help me find the answer."
"I know that our strength is too small to help us, but it's something like tracking a big rhino," said Higgins. "I'm an expert."
Xiu Weiwei: "But you were seriously injured."
"Can't die," Carmela replied coldly, "I also want to know what caused us to suffer such a fate."
Xiu Yi looked at Udic again, this young man about the same age as he cried out, "You all go, I go too. As long as you don't think I'm burdensome."
"No." Xiu shook his head. "The courage you just showed is admirable."
He was referring to Udiq's desire not to leave him alone.
Udic smiled a little embarrassingly.
"That being the case, let's follow the diamond rhinoceros and see what weird in this canyon."
The place where King Kong rhino walked was like the road over the tank, and the traces were clearly visible. Even without Harrison's way, Xiu could find the footprint of this big guy. In fact, the diamond rhinoceros is not fast. In its non-combat situation, its walking speed must even be described by the turtle speed.
The dying diamond rhinoceros did not choose to return to the former community, it went straight along a road deep in the canyon.
The road is very remote, extending beyond the canyon, and also passing through many Worlds of Warcraft. Everyone carefully traversed the area where these Warcraft were located, followed the diamond rhinoceros to a mountain wall, and then lost the trace of diamond rhinoceros.
"Strange, its footprints disappeared here?" Harry Gaines observed the ground. "There must be a secret passage near here."
Xiu frowned. "It's not that simple. I feel the magic. There is a magic circle operating nearby."
"Magic array?" Harry and Carmela both were taken aback.
On the contrary, Udik nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I feel it too, but the power of this magic is strange, I can't be sure of it."
Xiu Yi took a surprised look at Udik. With Udik's ability, there is no reason to feel the reason for this power.
Maybe he was aware of Xiuyi's doubts, Udik blushed and replied: "My elemental affinity is average, but the sensing ability is OK, but of course it cannot be compared with you."
"You are not humble, strength and talent are not a concept. You mean, you have a strong sense of magic?"
"That's right."
"Why not be a prophet or alchemist?" Xiu Yi was a little strange.
There are also many types of magical talents. Combat magicians have the highest requirements for elemental affinity. Some non-combat wizards need better element manipulation. As for those with strong element perception ability, the most suitable for learning should be prophetic spells. Prophecy spells require magic induction because they do not need to manipulate and use magic, but only need to sense events that have occurred from surrounding elements. And some elements have strong alertness to what may happen in the future, and once they can be sensed, they will form prophecy. In addition, the element induction ability is also very helpful to alchemy. After all, the alchemist uses items to create magic props. The element induction ability can help them quickly judge the characteristics of materials, so that they can play a better role.
Regarding Xiu Yi's question, Udik smiled helplessly: "Not everyone's talents can be used in the right way. My origins are not good. It is already lucky to be taught by a natural mage. I can learn Magic is already a great thing for me at home. My mentor is not a very capable person, but the fees are also cheap for others. Despite this, tuition still becomes the biggest burden on my family. I still have the right to choose. . Moreover, low-level prophecy has almost no value at all, and I urgently need to make money as soon as possible to return to my parents. As for alchemy ... you know that it needs more money to support, I dare not even think about it. "
"That's why you're with Harry them? You need money, a lot of money."
Udic bowed his head and did not answer.
If you want to be a magician, you must have not only talent, but also strong financial strength. Magicians are not synonymous with generosity. Their abilities require students to pay enough to learn.
Whether it is the Arcane Tower or the Academy of Magic, they are more concerned about the interests of the magician than the interests of the apprentice. As for Hugh Glair, he must be said to be lucky. At the beginning on Purgatory Island, he received the teaching of Cloth, the red robe master, and took him into the mysterious magic hall, but did not charge him a fee.
"If you want, I can teach you later, including the alchemy you want to learn." Xiu said suddenly.
"You ... what are you talking about?" Udic couldn't believe his ears, and Shuigler wanted to teach him magic? This is simply amazing.
"I'm afraid you dare not learn." Xiu Yi laughed.
"I have nothing to dare. My parents have paid too much for me, and I don't want to drag them down anymore. I followed my mentor for three years, but he only taught me a few spells. If this continues, maybe becoming a junior mage is already my limit. In his words, the money I paid is only enough to learn these things ... This is like a businessman who uses the cheapest spells It was sold to a large number of people in a wholesale manner, and then they were given the title of magical apprentice. Under his teaching, it was too difficult to become a formal magician. "
"It turned out like this ... then you have to think carefully. If you choose to follow me, the consequence is that you will most likely not be able to return to your parents, otherwise it will drag them down ... I have many enemies and they are very powerful.
"... So, can I see them secretly?" Udic asked. Udic felt unwilling when he heard he was leaving his parents.
Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, you can choose to follow my pseudonym and occasionally visit your parents. You can even return to your parents gloriously one day in the future."
"You don't limit my freedom?"
"As long as you don't do anything that hurts me, you are free."
"I know what to do and what not to do," Udic answered confidently.
He bowed solemnly to Xiuyi: "Udik salutes you, mentor."
Xiu accepted this title politely. Although he is almost the same as Udik in his age, psychologically, he is already an adult.
In the battle with the violent dragon rhino, Xiu saw some good qualities on Udik. Although he was a little timid, for a young man who had never experienced blood, fear of danger was quite normal. This magic apprentice has a strong sensitivity to elemental induction, even similar to Xiuyi, a fourth-level mage. If cultivated, he may be an outstanding talent in the future.
"So now tell me, in which direction is the magical atmosphere around here?" Xiuyi asked her new student.
"There." The cliff in front of Udic's fingers.
It looks like there is no way out.
"That's right." Xiu Yi answered with a smile, and a handful of gold powder had appeared in his hand: "This is the enchanting powder, which has a strong affinity for magic energy. They can be used to find some magic circles that cannot be seen by the naked eye."
Then, Xiuyi spilled the enchanting powder.
In the golden light, the opposite mountain wall showed a strange magic pattern.
Xiu Yi walked over and looked closely for a while before affirming: "This is an ancient law formation, I have never seen it before."
"How old is it?"
"At least a thousand years." Xiuyi answered with affirmative attitude: "Because it almost stopped operating, it has not completely dissipated, because this law array is supported by some kind of energy. This energy is not here, but it is transparent. After it reached this area, this area appeared a powerful magical energy. This energy affected Asahi's transformation and also allowed the diamond rhinoceros to control the awakening of the bloodline by itself. But it takes more than just energy to maintain such a long time. There are also materials that can stand the test for a long time. Look at this. The eyes of the polar ice wolf can only be weathered by an extremely long time. It almost loses its effectiveness and can be identified as one. It's difficult. "
"But the history of human alchemy is only about a thousand years." Harry horrified.
"It is the history of alchemy, not the history of magic substitution. Maybe someone discovered and invented alchemy thousands of years ago, but they may not be called like this, and they have no interest in spreading and carrying forward." Xiu Yidan said: "... Maybe they know what to do The consequence is a scramble for world resources. "
"What does this magic circle have to do with the disappearance of that rhinoceros?"
"There is a big relationship ..." Xiu Yi slowly said: "Although I have never seen this magic circle, it does not prevent me from knowing what it is. It seems that when people grow up, their appearance will change, but they will always change. I still keep some childhood outlines. It ’s interesting, I look at it like I see old friends. If I guess correctly, then ... this should be a teleportation circle. "
No matter how things change, the core does not change.
It seems that both China and the United States will make them. Although the manufacturing processes are different, they are researched and manufactured using the principle of nuclear fission.
If a Chinese one is in front of American scientists, he has absolutely no reason to fail to recognize what it is.
Fengming Continent is currently the only one who will make a teleportation circle, but that does not mean that no one will.
But Xiuyi didn't expect that he would find such a teleportation circle in front of the valley cliffs.
It's too old, but it's amazing that it still works. Despite its inefficiency, it still exists and plays a tenacious role.
After careful inspection, Xiuyi concluded: "This is a short-range method. Its role is not to send people thousands of miles away, but it should be ..."
"Enter somewhere without a door," Harry Gaines interjected.
Xiu laughed.
Yes, it must be.
"I don't know what we will face after entering, maybe terrible danger, or endless treasure. Although we hope to be the latter, we cannot deny that the former is more likely. I have decided to go On this journey, as for you, you can make your own decisions. But I cannot guarantee that you will be able to protect you after entering. "
Harry Gaines raised his lion-like head: "Danger is never something that a Warcraft hunter will escape, poverty is."
Carmela said nothing, only her determination was expressed with firm eyes.
As for Udic, he bowed his head: "It is the responsibility of each student to follow in the footsteps of the mentor."
No more nonsense, Xiu Yi started the law formation.
This is a desolate and cold plain. The purple-black land is almost grassless, and there are dense white bones everywhere. Looking out, the whole plain is like a bone-bone world, full of the sadness of death.
Can't see a living creature.
The grey sky didn't even have sunlight.
Xiuyi they were standing on a pile of white bones at this moment. These bones looked like some kind of rodent's skull, piled up on a hill, and looked terrible.
Harry Gerns accidentally stumbled a bit and kicked a skull down, triggering a large chain of reflections, rattling, the mountain of bones collapsed, everyone rolled down from the mountain of bones, and suddenly saw that it was drowned by a large group of bones.
"Oh my God! Where have we been?" Cried Harry Gaines.
He crawled angrily from the bone pile, with a skull on his head, as if wearing a bone-bonded helmet.
They never dreamed that they would come to such a ghostly world. The difference between reality and dream is often so far away.
Udic couldn't help but ask, "Is it here?"
"No, it's a cemetery, a cemetery that belongs to Warcraft. Damn it, I should have thought about it. Where would a dying diamond rhinoceros go in the end? It's the cemetery!" Xiu Yi bit his teeth.
"It is impossible for Warcraft to make magic circles." Carmela reminded Xiuyi.
"I know, this place should have been accidentally discovered by the land of the gods of Warcraft, and chose as their final destination. Only Warcraft that is about to die will enter here ..." Xiu shook his head and said.
"So where was this before?" Carmela asked.
"That's exactly what we need to know."
With that said, Xiu Yi got out of the pile of white bones and stood on this open land.
He bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground. The purple-black soil exudes a fascinating light in Xiu Yi's palm, which deeply attracted Xiu's eyes.
He leaned in and smelled the dirt, and frowned slightly, and then he made a shocking gesture for everyone. He stuck out his tongue and licked the dirt, and felt the taste of the dirt.
Harry almost vomited: "Oh, Shuigler, I didn't expect you to have such a perverted hobby, but there are countless dead bodies buried here!"
Xiuyi ignored Harry's complaint. He closed his eyes as if immersed in the "deliciousness" of the soil, and after a moment of tasting, he spit out, "Udik, come and try."
"Me?" Udic asked pale.
Xiu Yi nodded earnestly: "If you want to be a good alchemist, the talent of elemental induction alone is not enough. Strong thirst for curiosity and curiosity are indispensable important qualities, and the huge spirit of sacrifice determines you The size of your future success. If you can't make enough sacrifices for your desired cause, your success is bound to be limited. "
"Yes, mentor!" Udic immediately took it seriously.
He knew it was his chance and he would not give up anyway.
Quickly came forward, he grabbed a handful of purple and black clay from Xiu's hand and tasted it in his mouth, then a weird look appeared on his face.
"What do you feel?" Xiu asked him.
"Magic!" Udic replied quickly: "This land has a legacy of powerful magic, and it is very powerful. Its power makes the soil rich in a large amount of metal, so except for some metal-loving plants , No other plant can grow at all. "
"What kind of magic can cause this?" Xiu continued.
Udic shook his head blankly.
Xiu Yi pointed to the open land around him: "I don't know what kind of magic can cause such a result, at least I have never heard of it, but I know that the area covered by this magic is even wider than our vision. , The power it possesses is not at all human beings. "
"Oh my god!" Said Harriers most today.
Then he realized what Xiuyi meant.
How powerful it is to transform such a vast land into such a result, it is really unthinkable.
"Here ... it is a cursed land, but also an abandoned land." Xiu Yi sighed so loudly.
Abandoned land, everyone was shocked.
"I've never heard of such a place in Fengming Dasanriku." Harry Gerns answered solemnly.
Xiu Yi expressionless: "I haven't heard of it, this is the crux of the problem. Why is this vast area never seen before?"
"Maybe it's not in our world." Udic answered blurtly. This sentence changed the color of Harry and Carmelazi. If that's the case, then even if there is a Huey Glair, even if he can make a teleportation matrix, I am afraid they will not be able to return to the original world.
Crossing different planes requires the door of space, which is not the level of making the teleportation matrix.
Fortunately, Xiu Yi quickly denied this: "No, I'm sure we are still in our world and haven't gone anywhere else."
"How do you know?" Carmela asked.
"Because we were brought in by the telegram." Xiu's answer left everyone speechless.
That's right, since it can be teleported in using the teleportation matrix, it means that this can only be the same plane world, and it can't be a devil or an abyss. But in this case, why has no one ever found this place?
This place is so large that it cannot be hidden in a land of grace.
"Maybe we are no longer in the land of grace." Xiu Yi said to himself.
"No," Carmela said suddenly, "what about the rhinoceros? Why don't you see the rhinoceros here? Shouldn't it also be brought in by the teleportation array?"
This question surprised everyone.
Xiu's brow frowned slightly: "That teleportation matrix is ​​a one-way teleportation matrix, it should be a random teleportation in a fixed area, so King Kong rhino will not show up with us in the same place, the problem is fundamental in our vision Without it, it shows that this place is much bigger than we thought. "
"Then what do we do? It doesn't make sense to us here." Harry was dumbfounded.
This area is so large, but it is desolate and barren. There is no plant growing in the soil, and naturally there will be no living Warcraft. Except for the corpses, they found nothing.
But Xiu Yi seemed to be full of interest, because the land was not meaningless to him. These clays are rich in a large number of metals, and they also contain some special metals. Although the content is very low, it can't stand the whole plain. As long as it is refined, it can provide some special metal resources for Xiuyi.
King Kong rhino is a mineral-loving Warcraft, no wonder they will choose such a place as the ultimate place of death. For them, here is nowhere near paradise.
In addition, the wasteland is not a real inch of grass. Some special plants that can absorb metals still grow. They are extremely rare in the wind continent, and they have become the only masters here.
"An excellent alchemist must have an eye that can find value, at least here is not meaningless to me." Xiu Yi laughed: "Moreover, it is impossible to have nothing at all here. Remember that who supports the operation of the circle Energy? I can sense its existence, as if some kind of power is calling me, guiding me ... "
The crowd listened to each other.
"You mean ... what else is there?" Harry asked cautiously, "something that exudes great magical energy?"
"Maybe it's what makes this land so barren but unknown at the same time."
There was a chill in everyone's heart.
After saying this, Xiu Yi got on his way. Behind him, the black warrior always followed silently, carrying Xu who had fallen asleep on his back.
"What a bad day today," Harry mumbled, and then he shouted, "Hey, wait for me."
A group of people followed Xiu Yi's steps forward. !! ~!
