Chapter 1057: 　Akabi Promenade

Daddy Ian was worried along the way.
"What makes you so upset?" Allen rode up to the old man and handed him a water bag with wine.
The old man took it and unscrewed the stopper and smelled it. The wine smelled, and he smiled immediately: "Good stuff." He raised his head and took a sip, handed the wine bag back to Alan, wiped his mouth and said, "My lord, Shadow Demon. Activities are very abnormal."

"Oh?" Allen knew that Ian was an experienced guide who was more familiar with the situation in the Shadow Land than he was, and asked: "You mean they attacked us last night."
Father Ian nodded and said, "Not only did they attack us, that strange mine is probably their masterpiece. I find it very strange, my lord. First, the mine. The Coldridge Mountains don’t have any veins worth mining, and most of them are stones. What's more, it is in a dangerous place like the Shadow Land, where the most are Shadow Fiends. So this mine, I can't figure out why it appeared in such a place."
"Then there are shadow demons. These demons live in the shadow land. They hunt and occasionally attack travelers who come and go near the shadow land. But the scene of large-scale deployment like last night is unheard of, and , I’ve never heard of the giant-like aliens and dark-skinned creatures among Shadow Fiends. These things scare me, my lord, I always feel that the world has become strange."
"The world is always changing all the time, daddy." Allen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you worried that one day, Shadow Fiend will attack Frostwind City on a large scale like last night?"
Ian nodded vigorously: "This is where I fear, my lord. We have always thought that Shadow Fiends are just like ordinary beasts. Of course, they are even more dangerous beasts. But I didn't find these things until last night. It can also be an army. Yes, I can only describe them as an army. After all, they know how to charge, my God, I can't imagine them appearing under Frostwind City."
"You are overwhelmed, daddy." Alan smiled: "I admit that I opened my eyes last night, but the shadow demons are still in their unavoidable weakness. They are afraid of sunlight, flames and all things bright. Here is the shadow land. The lack of sunshine for many years provides the conditions for the Shadow Demon to move around during the day. It takes at least three or four days from the Shadow Land to the Frostwind City, and there are very few caves on the way that can accommodate a large number of Shadow Demon hiding. , Or a similar environment. So if the Shadow Demons want to attack Frostwind City, they have to pay a lot of price."
"What's more, the Frostwind City today is no longer the time when you just opened up wasteland. You are under the protection of the empire. If something like that happens, the emperor team will not sit idly by."
Ian's face improved a little after Alan said this. After more than an hour, Ian raised his hand and the caravan stopped. The old man looked into the distance and sighed: "We are here, Akabi Promenade, Death Valley..."
He raised his finger forward.
Allen looked up and saw that the Great Rift Valley of the Akabi Promenade was not far away. The topography of the Shadow Land kept rising from here. The peaks on both sides rose high, the rift valley was deep and long, and the valley was light. Dim, even more misty
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Mist. Occasionally, there is wind blowing from the rift valley, bringing a low noise like a ghostly whisper.
This is the Akabi Promenade.
At this time Edward and a Dark Blade whispered a few words, then came to Allen's side and whispered: "We have to pass through the rift as quickly as possible, Dark Blade found something following us."
"Shadow Demon?"
"Probably."
"It's really a ghost..." Allen squinted and asked, "Father Ian, how long do we have to walk on the Akabi Promenade?"
"If it's fast, it will take two days."
"It's a bit tricky." Allen whispered, and called Fares again, and asked him to allocate the manpower to protect the front and back ends of the team, so as not to make a sudden attack by the Shadow Demon and mess around. After getting ready, the caravan moved on and slowly entered the Akabi Promenade.
After the team entered the rift valley, behind a large rock outside the entrance of the rift valley, a head appeared. The shadow demon with the crimson skin jumped on the stone, looked at the entrance of the crack and let out a whistle, then waved the wall towards the entrance of the corridor. Suddenly countless black shadows appeared around, and a head of shadow demon flew off from the ground, from its side and the cliffs on both sides.
The ground shook slightly, and two trolls walked side by side. They stopped behind the Scarlet Shadow Demon, and the Scarlet Demon jumped on the neck of one of the trolls and patted the troll's head as if sitting on a mount. The troll whispered and walked awkwardly towards the Rift Valley.
The wind blew through the two black holes, making a whining sound. The goat skull lying on the gravel was hidden by a few weeds, and a mountain lizard crawled out of the left eye socket. The skin of a lizard is gray with spots of different shades. It is difficult to distinguish it from the rock when it is not moving. The mountain lizard's eyes are turning, reflecting the picture of a horse hoof stepping down. It swam away very alertly, and the next moment the fragile goat skull stepped on it.
There are many bones of such animals on the Akabi Promenade, and there are even piles of bones in some places. Under those bones, you usually see unusually bright flowers. Ian called it Lolita. In the legend of Frostwind City, the wife of Akabi was called Lolita. So the flower that grows under the bones is named after this.
Loli flowers and weeds can be said to be the only plants in the Akabi Promenade. They have become a rare ornament in this monotonous rift valley. There is no fork in the Rift Valley. When you get here, you just need to keep going forward, and I'm finally free. Riding a thin horse and smoking a cigarette, but silently. No one in the team talked, only the sound of wheels rolling. The people of Frostwind City believed that speaking loudly in the Akabi Promenade would wake up the of death. Allen didn't believe in the existence of any of death, but the atmosphere here was more depressing than the shadow land, naturally, people didn't have the idea of ​​talking.
Everyone bowed their heads and hurried, hoping to get out of the rift sooner.
At noon, the caravan stopped to rest. The soldiers caught fire and made food. Ian stopped smoking and just squatted on a large rock drinking water. Allen walked to him, took out a kind of dry food bought in Frostwind City and handed it to his father. The old man's eyes lit up and he took it happily, "Hey, Yves patties. Do you know it, my lord, this is smoked and roasted with black goat meat, then exposed to salt in the sun, and then dried into dried meat. The meatloaf can be stored for three months, and we can take them to eat the taste of hometown."
He took a bite hard, eating with gusto.
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) "Father, the Shadow Demon is following our ass." Allen said softly.
Ian sighed: "Those demons are very vengeful. If the battle last night couldn't scare them away, then today, there will be more of them."
"I need a place where I can fight. It should not be too spacious. It is better to have obstacles that can divide the number of Shadow Fiends. If you don't get rid of these petty bugs, I am sure that our next journey will not be too pleasant."
Ian looked at Alan and said sincerely: "Your lord must be the bravest warrior I have ever seen, but we are not willing to provoke those demons to death. I think about it, we will arrive at Baiyan Cave after another two kilometers. There are large and small natural caves on the mountain walls. Legend has it that they were the windows through which Akabi stared at the surface, and he didn't know whether the environment met the requirements of adults."
"Sounds not bad." Allen and Ian chatted a few more words, then returned to the camp. When I ran into Edward and Fares head-on, watching Alan come over, Edward whispered: "I discussed with Fares just now that the actions of Shadow Demon are suspicious. Dark Blade has confirmed that there are thousands of Shadow Demon following. After our ass, this is not a small number, it is already an army. It stands to reason that they have a quantitative advantage and should attack early. But they are still hanging far behind us, seeming to be waiting for something."
"No matter what they are waiting for..." Allen pointed in the direction of his father: "The guide will take us to a suitable place, where we will solve the things in the shadow land."
"The number of each other is quite large." Fares reminded.
Allen nodded and said: "There is no need to wipe out. From last night's battle, it is not difficult to see that there are alien species with superior wisdom in the Shadow Demon. As long as such alien species are killed, they are a group of beasts, not an army."
"Go and get everyone ready for the battle, check the equipment, and prepare the ammunition and fire mines." Allen patted Fares on the arm, and the latter nodded.
Allen looked behind the team, and only barely saw the fuzzy outline of things in the mist of Mengmeng Mountain, just like the motives of Shadow Demon that seemed to be hidden in the mist. Allen has only one thing for certain, those things must not be treated as ordinary beasts!
Baiyan Cave~EbookFREE.me~ This is a unique scenery in the Akabi Promenade. It is located on a sharp bend in the rift valley. Due to its special location, the mountain winds roar all the time. Those caves are not so natural as they are formed by erosion by wind and snow over the years. These caves eroded by the wind and snow, large and small, are distributed disorderly between the walls on the left. From a distance, the cave is gloomy and chilly.
After the caravan turned into the rift valley, the horses and carts were concentrated in a larger cave in the Baiyan Cave. The Inch Fire Archer began to climb up the rock wall, and the small caves above were natural shooting castles. The mountain king soldiers moved the boulders and piled them up high, and then used thick cables to pull them horizontally...
While the soldiers were preparing for battle, a pair of jet-black eyes looked at the rift bend in the distance. Riding on the neck of the troll, the red-skinned Shadow Demon couldn't see the human scene on the curve. It knocked on the head of the troll, and the two trolls began to take strides. The Scarlet Shadow Demon let out a series of rapid howling sounds, like blowing the horn of war, and the Gray Shadow Demon that had been advancing at a constant speed and the black demon mixed in it all began to accelerate. From the ground and on both sides of the cliff, the Shadow Demon rushed forward like a torrent flowing through the rift valley!
