Path of Light.

Chapter 633 634. Two-headed snake monster
The lower the adventure group went, the more obvious the traces of the sea became.

Roy even saw a huge fish skeleton. The entire skeleton was three kilometers long. Although countless ribs had been destroyed and fallen off, and the entire spine was broken into dozens of pieces, everyone could still tell from the remains that this sea beast was at least several kilometers long when it was alive.

Most of the bones were buried in the black sand. They became very brittle and would flake off with a slight touch of the hand. They were completely worthless.

The adventure group encountered many low-level dark beasts along the way. Great Swordsman Alvin was worried that the adventure group hunting these dark beasts would disturb the surrounding large dark beasts, so everyone concealed their breath along the way and continued to move deeper into the sea.

Leah almost always walked in front with Great Swordsman Alvin.

Byron Thor and Etia Mika were in the middle of the team, while Roy and the great magician Oppaia always fell behind the team without realizing it.

The dry and cold wind blowing on your face will make your face dry. If you don't pay attention to skin care, your skin will crack...

Every time he walked a distance, Roy would drink some water even if he didn't feel thirsty.

Although there is hardly any water source in the entire dark land, the magic rune plate of "Water Gathering" is almost a must-have item for the adventure team, so everyone's water bags are always filled with clean water.

Get out of the lich's territory and into new places.

There are more and more dark monsters around, and everyone needs to hide their tracks and slip past them.

Byron Thor and Etiamika took turns to explore the surrounding situation. They were responsible for the reconnaissance mission in the team...

The adventure group's route could no longer go straight forward. They kept circling around in this piece of black sand, and unknowingly took a lot of detours.

Great Swordsman Alvin looked up at the gradually darkening sky, pointed to a huge rock a few hundred meters ahead, and said to everyone: "Let's rest here tonight."

Everyone sat down around the fire, and Oppaia, who was walking at the back, quietly came to the camp and sat at the edge of the tent in the sheltered spot.

She carefully lifted her veil, drank some water, and then leaned against the tent with her eyes closed to meditate.

As a great magician, she had to take time out every day to meditate. She looked a little tired, but her beautiful face did not seem to have changed at all because of the dry, cold wind and sand.

Seeing her wake up from meditation, her tired eyes regained clarity.

Roy then came over and handed a cup of life-sap to the great magician Oppaia.

Oppaia reached out her hand, pinched the edge of the cup with her fingers, and asked Roy curiously: "Are you concerned about me?"

Roy was slightly startled, and seeing her teasing look, he coughed twice: "We are companions, this is what I should do."

Oppaia turned her head away and stopped talking to Roy.

Roy helped Oppaiya remove the dark energy that had contaminated her body, and then he sat down by the campfire.

The temporary camp that Great Swordsman Alvin found was in the shadow of a rock, which was sheltered from the wind and quiet.

There are indeed some dark creatures around, but they are not dense.

The campfire was blocked by the tent. Great Swordsman Alvin sat opposite Leah, carefully wiping his crystal sword while asking her:

"Leah, will there be a team of demon hunters hunting here?"

At this time, Leah was peeling an orange, which was very rare in the dark land.

Only magicians would bring in fresh oranges, and this orange of Leah was given to her by the great magician Oppaia.

"Yes, but very few. The demon hunters who can come here are the best in the demon hunting group."

"And it's almost impossible for us to encounter them. When they see our team, they usually hide their whereabouts or keep a certain distance from us. Few demon hunting teams will communicate in the wild unless both parties are very familiar with each other, because everyone will try to avoid such dangerous contact."

Great Swordsman Alvin nodded slightly, because in the morning, Etia Mica told Great Swordsman Alvin that he had found traces of a group of demon hunters, but they soon disappeared.

The Great Swordsman Alvin looked at Leah and asked her, "Liya, have you been here before?"

"came."

Leah nodded in acknowledgment without hesitation, her eyes hiding a hint of sadness as she glanced secretly at the dark sand.

Great Swordsman Alvin immediately asked:
"The lich was still there at the time, right? Why didn't the lich target you?"

Leah was stunned for a moment, then said casually, "We will avoid it from a distance. As long as we see the black fog around it, we will get away from it as soon as possible."

Great Swordsman Alvin was silent for a while before asking Leah:

"How far did you go inside?"

Leah pointed to the dark sea of ​​sand ahead and whispered, "It should be just ahead. If we don't go too far off the track, there will be a canyon ahead. We originally planned to hunt down the two-headed demon snake in the valley, but unfortunately that hunting plan failed. The leader of the demon hunting group was killed by the demon snake, and the entire demon hunting group was dispersed. I also ran back to Iris's camp."

Although Leah spoke these words quietly, Etiamika, who was sitting next to her, exclaimed: "Two-headed demon snake?"

Leah nodded and continued to describe the two-headed demon snake:
"Yes, it is a demon snake with the dual attributes of ice and darkness. It has been lurking in that canyon for a long time. We first discovered it because it was fighting with the lich next door. Only then did we realize that there was a two-headed demon snake hidden in the canyon."

Etiamika asked quickly, "A two-headed demon snake that can fight the lich face to face is probably also a level six dark beast. How dare your demon hunting group try to hunt a level six dark beast?"

Leah shook her head slightly, lowered her head and introduced:

"If it was a two-headed demon snake with an intact body, we certainly wouldn't dare to attack it. But that time we happened to see the lich tear off one of the demon snake's heads and its body was torn apart. We think the two-headed demon snake was seriously injured and may have died in the cave. We don't want to give up such a rare opportunity."

The smile on Leah's face completely disappeared. "In the end, you failed?" Great Swordsman Alvin continued to ask.

"Ah."

Leah rested her forehead on her knees.

"The demon snake you mentioned is probably a three-headed demon snake. Generally, a three-headed demon snake is a level six magical beast. However, most snake monsters are proficient in electricity, fire, and poison magic. The three-headed demon snake in the dark land is probably proficient in dark and ice magic. If I have a chance, I would like to go and see the injured demon snake."

The following sentence of Great Swordsman Alvin was addressed to Byron Thor and Etiamika.

Etiamika smiled and said to the Great Swordsman Alvin: "Why... do you think that snake demon has something to do with the gathering of frost?"

Great Swordsman Alvin nodded, stuck the crystal sword in his hand into the sand, stood up and looked up at the dark creatures floating around him that were becoming more and more dense. He could only pull the magic tent down.

Roy was sitting by the fire. When he heard Etiamika talking about the Frost Dragon, he asked Great Swordsman Alvin:

"Great Swordsman Alvin, are the remains of the frost dragon you mentioned buried deep in the sea?"

Talking about the remains of the Ice Dragon, Great Swordsman Alvin sat by the campfire again. The flames on the magic rune board jumped a few times, and Great Swordsman Alvin recalled:

"I know what you want to ask. You want to know whether it is worth it for us to enter this dangerous area, and whether the news that the remains of the frost dragon are hidden deep in the sea is reliable."

He pulled out the crystal sword stuck in the sand, the blade facing the firelight, emitting a crystal light.

"From the time I had memories, the first thing I came into contact with was a hand-painted scroll of an ancient battlefield. According to my father, this was the only wealth my grandfather left him. My father told me that the battlefield was said to be in the dried-up sea of ​​the Dark Land. In fact, I have investigated this matter for a long time and learned from some... priests of the expeditionary force that there is no sea in the Dark Land. The so-called sea should be the sealand where a large number of dark monsters gather."

Great Swordsman Alvin continued:

"My grandfather was a Silver Moon Elf who loved adventure. When he was in the Kekian plane, he had the opportunity to follow a black magician into the Dark Land through a space rift created by a summoning array. During his time in the Dark Land, he became a somewhat famous demon hunter."

"In order to avoid a beast tide, the demon hunting team accidentally entered the central area of ​​Haiti. There was an ancient battlefield there, and the remains of countless dark warriors still lie on the battlefield. At that time, he found a cave next to the eye of the sea. They found the remains of the frost dragon in that cave, but unfortunately they had no way to bring the dragon's remains out at that time."

"Later, he met a legendary master in the Dark Land. The legendary master taught him some swordsmanship and used the sword to open a space door, sending him back to the Elf Continent from the Dark Land."

"Although he had the opportunity to return to the Elven Continent, his biggest regret in life was that he failed to bring out the remains of the Frost Dragon. As a result, he spent the rest of his life searching for the Gate of Space, trying to return to the Land of Darkness. Unfortunately, he was unable to realize this wish until he returned to the embrace of the Moon Goddess."

"He left a scroll to my father and told him where the remains of the frost dragon were hidden."

"Originally, my father didn't like adventure very much, so he kept this scroll hidden under a box."

"Later, as the Statue of Liberty appeared on the Elf Continent, they claimed to have discovered a gate leading to the Dark Land on the Elf Continent. The Statue of Liberty built a temple there and sealed the gate leading to the Dark Land."

"At that time, I remember my father said to me: If I could go to the dark land and take a look, I would have no regrets even if I died."

"Later, the temple organized an expeditionary force to enter the Dark Land, and I prepared to join the temple expeditionary force to enter the Dark Land. The first batch of the temple expeditionary force was almost all composed of priests, and I couldn't join them. Later, the second expeditionary force began to recruit mercenary warriors, so I found a way to organize a mercenary group and joined the temple expeditionary force to enter the Dark Land."

When he said this, Great Swordsman Alvin took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat:
"We followed the Temple Expeditionary Force all the way to the heart of the Dark Land. I searched for many places along the way, but I still couldn't find a place."

"At the beginning, the Temple Expeditionary Force killed a large number of dark beasts in the Dark Land. The Temple Expeditionary Force marched straight in and was invincible along the way. Our mission at that time was very simple, which was to stay in the camp or follow the logistics group to escort supplies, etc."

"At the time, I was serving in the Temple Expeditionary Force and never had the opportunity to explore other places. I learned about Haiti from several other priests who were exploring other places."

"But before I could take any action, the Temple Expeditionary Force began to decline, and later the expeditionary forces formed by the mercenary groups were also disbanded one after another."

"I left the Dark Land with the mercenary group and never had the chance to visit Haiti."

Byron Thor and Etia Mica were obviously aware of these circumstances. They listened to the story told by Great Swordsman Alvin calmly.

Roy asked the Great Swordsman Alvin: "Why did you tell this secret?"

Great Swordsman Alvin smiled and replied:

"I'm telling this story because it's better to have a piece of the pie than to get nothing. But I also know that after so many years, it's still unknown whether the remains of the frost dragon are still there... But if I don't go and take a look, I'll feel a little regretful."

We gathered around the campfire and chatted for a long time.

Dark creatures were roaming around, and when Roy was lying in his sleeping bag, his mind was full of the image of the frost dragon.

The next day, the adventure group continued to move forward. Leah said yesterday that they would probably encounter a canyon ahead. Sure enough, after walking for half a day, they saw a huge crack in the sand ahead.

The reason why Leah brought everyone here was because the two-headed snake monster in the canyon was injured. Therefore, as long as the adventure team did not enter the canyon, they would hardly encounter any danger if they were active outside the canyon.

That crack is very long...

Moreover, the crack was a depression in the flat sand, so the front was pitch black.

The adventure group stayed at the entrance of the rift for a while, and there was a small dispute between Great Swordsman Alvin and Byron Thor. Great Swordsman Alvin wanted to go into the canyon to take a look, but Byron Thor wanted to keep going forward and was unwilling to take risks in this canyon.

Since it has been confirmed that there are no liches or remains of frost dragons inside, Byron Thor believes that it is not worth it for the adventure group to stay here.

But in the end, Great Swordsman Alvin persuaded Byron Thor to stay outside the Great Rift for half a day.

He wanted to confirm one thing, that he would not provoke the two-headed snake demon...

After deciding, Great Swordsman Alvin took Etia Mica into the rift valley. After thinking about it, Leah followed them.
