Chapter 2196: Preliminary Exploration of Meteorite Crater

The darkness of the sky, the gloomy sky, the old wooden houses, the villages and towns full of fungi. Everything here is full of silence, the ground is filled with black water due to the corruption of branches and leaves, and the air is full of the smell of damp and mildew.
Under the protection of two groups of soldiers, Eliza shuttled through a dark and crushed forest. The trees here had long lost the green leaves, twisted dead branches, and desolate bark. Everything looked so ugly. The soldiers are the Republican Guards of Desman. Although this is not in the territory of Desman, in the face of such a catastrophe, only Desman can send troops to protect the sage in the garden.
The captain of the guard was named Bismarck, and he took two people to the front to investigate, and came back and said: "Further ahead, I will be close to the impact crater of the meteorite."
Eliza nodded: "Tell everyone to be careful, and don't be careless because you haven't encountered a big trouble along the way."
Bismarck is a loyal, brave and careful man. He has been sent to many countries to serve as a military attache. He ordered his soldiers to put on a guard formation, and the knights marched forward without any haste and armor. After more than an hour of walking, collapsed trees began to appear around, and the more trees broke radially as you went forward, the dead branches and rotten woods were interspersed with the corpses of many animals and beasts. The stench of rotting bones was suddenly and suddenly Blowing over with the wind, it makes people feel uncomfortable.
It's not that there is no vitality here. The carrion-eating animals and plants watched this group of people from a distance. There are birds flying in the sky, and there are maggots and old vines. Especially the corpse wolves. These wolves have a foul smell. They always lower their heads gloomily, their tails and the wet and sticky hair on their bodies are drooping, giving people a very gloomy feeling, especially in In this dark environment, those eyes that reflect red light in the dim light are very uncomfortable, as if there is always a group of creatures waiting for you to die.
The well-trained horses were disturbed by this atmosphere, but fortunately they remained calm under the control of their masters. Eliza is holding the reins in her gloved hand, and holding the'Sun King' staff in the other hand. The head of the sun disc-shaped stick that is swaying flames emits a bright light, dispelling the dark and cold atmosphere around. .
After walking for a long time, they reached the edge of the impact crater. Because of the light, they could not see the full picture of the crater, let alone see the bottom of the crater. But when everyone stood on the edge of the pit and watched this scene, they were deeply shocked.
"This is the biggest crater~!" The soldiers all talked: "It's terrible. Fortunately, it didn't fall directly in the capital of our country..."
"Don't say this, the City of Angels is blessed by heaven." Another soldier said: "But this is only one of the largest craters. Whether it is the largest is not certain, but it must be the one that caused the most damage. "
The sage Eliza lamented: "From the statistics collected before, 94 large, medium and small cities were completely destroyed by this meteorite, and countless people died."
Bismarck said: "The Republic sent people to investigate the southernmost part of the crater. From the straight line across from here, the diameter of the crater is estimated to be more than 390 kilometers. Two countries and four city-states are gone."
Eliza had also learned this information when she came. She frowned and couldn't express her inner feelings at the moment. But this time she came with a mission to investigate the crater and its vicinity and estimate the sky. The amount of dust, and look for potential dangers and rescue measures. The so-called potential danger is to worry about whether some huge and terrifying monsters are injured or alarmed, and whether these injured and alarmed monsters will come out of the disaster zone and attack the towns and villages outside.
In fact, such a thing has already happened. Not long ago, the disaster area bordering the Warcraft Forest was attacked by the Kosher monster, and several villages and towns were destroyed. On the north side of the mainland, a giant dragon came out of the mountain and attacked the city. The reason was that many meteorites fell into the deserted mountains.
Not only are huge monsters, many frightened large and medium-sized monsters have attacked human villages and towns in groups. Many of them hunted out because of insufficient food, but most of them migrated to human territories because of the destruction of their habitats. . As the twelve sages of the Sacred Garden, they are responsible for coordinating and coordinating such incidents. Eliza is responsible for this work. At the same time, her status as a Desmanian nation can better handle the work in the hardest-hit areas. .
Eliza took the long blond hair behind her head, tied it up with a rope and said to Bismarck: "General, you stay here, I will take a few people down to the bottom of the pit to have a look."
"How can this be done?" Bismarck said respectfully: "You are the sage of the holy garden, the glory of our Desman, this kind of rough work is for me. The Grand Archon sent us to accompany you, except on the road Protecting and taking care of you is here to do these tasks. You can just stay here and wait. I will solve the dangers below in case there is any danger."
Eliza was helpless. She knew that in her own capacity, General Bismarck could not let herself lead people down, so she said: "Then you and I will take two more people down, and the rest will stay on top and wait for the response."
Bismarck thought for a while and nodded: "That's good."
They assigned some personnel and began to descend into the pit. From the estimated diameter of the crater of 390 kilometers, the depth of the crater must be extremely deep, and there are many black or reddish-brown crystals in the impact area in the crater. These are crystalline ores formed by impact and high temperature. Eliza picked up a few representative pieces casually, made a rough distinction, and then took out the container and sealed it, preparing to take it back to study it carefully.
Stepping on the soft rock crystal soil, I walked down in the crater for about an hour and a half, because the walking speed was slow, and it seemed that it was far from the end at this time. At this time they could smell a strong smell of scorched earth, and the air was still filled with thin gray-black smoke, with a little sulphur smell.
Eliza and the others had been prepared for a long time, and put on the thick cotton masks, but just as they were about to continue to enter the smoky area, there was movement under the sloping pit.
"What sound?" The soldier poked his neck nervously and looked into the gloomy smoke. The sound came suddenly, and he couldn't tell the distance for a while.
"There may be wild monsters lying in ambush inside, everyone be careful." Some soldiers said, but Bismarck didn't think so. He walked at the bottom, and he was the one with the most tight protection up and down, so he naturally took up the job of exploring the way. He turned his head and motioned Eliza to stop moving for the time being, and went down to take a look. But before he could go down, there was a soft laugh from a woman in the mist, which made everyone else blow up.
The soldiers opened their eyes wide, seeming to wonder if there will be people in this ghost place?
The chuckle was short, and soon disappeared. Bismarck was also a little hairy. He beckoned back: "Come and three of you come with me." After speaking, he took the person into the smoke.
Eliza also wanted to go with her, but she didn't want to cause trouble to the general. Although she is the twelve sages of the Sacred Garden, she is a typical academic, proficient in magic, knowledgeable, but not good at fighting, and can be said to be the weakest sage in the Sacred Garden. Of course, the weakest depends on who said it, for magicians all over the world, she is certainly not the weak.
After a burst of smoke, there was a sudden scream of horror, followed by screams and fighting. The very light female laughter sounded again shortly, and then there was the roar of monsters, the sound was very brief and messy. The soldiers guarding the sage were too nervous one by one, holding weapons and shields in their hands and forming a circle to protect the sage in the center. At this time, there was no movement in the smoke. Just as everyone was surprised and uncertain, a figure suddenly rushed out of the smoke, shocking everyone, and after a closer look, they discovered that it was General Bismarck.
Bismarck roared and ran out: "Go, there is danger inside!"
"What's the general?!" As soon as Eliza's voice fell, a group of black and inky ape-shaped objects flew out, and two black long strange hands of incomprehensible length stretched out to grab Bismarck's back.
Without saying anything, Eliza immediately sacrificed her magic, a strong shield of light covered the general's body, blocking the flying black hand, and then the high sun king raised it high, and the sun-like flames burned into the fog.
The black mist in the fog gave out a stern cry, and then turned into a female chuckle, and then the black shadow burst into the mist like a flame, and all the shadows of everyone burned under the magical light of Elizabeth, igniting a raging shadow fire. Black Flame!
Eliza was taken aback, the magic changed instantaneously, and a cloud of light enveloped herself and everyone and disappeared in place.
