The red moon returns

Chapter 157 We are going home

Lynch had a dream, in which he seemed to witness the rise and fall of the city with Zul'Grassar.

A city founded by countless ghouls, worshiping death and disease, and dedicating corpses to Mordiggian is the highest honor.

Since its birth, it has been constantly at war with the surrounding cities, until the great disaster struck at the end of the Third Age, and it also ushered in its own end amidst plague, war and famine.

In response to the prayers of his family, Mordiggian threw his avatar into Zul'Glasar, and sank under the rock formations together with the entire city, disappearing from the records of history. From then on, few people realized that in an unknown corner , an ancient city still sleeps.

Borrowing the power of the evil god's clone, the city was isolated from the soil and rocks and remained as it was before it sank. Even the residents who died with the city were transformed into stone statues, wandering on the edge of life and death with the aliens they fed. , only when a sacrifice is made, a little of the creature's characteristics will be restored.

So, the ancient city, the clone of the evil god, the residents who were neither dead nor alive, and the aliens wandering in a daze, the days continued in the darkness for tens of thousands of years, until the crimson moonlight broke...

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

Lynch suddenly woke up from his dream, and then he remembered that he had just found Miss Valente awake. He felt relieved and fainted from the pain on the spot.

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but suddenly he felt someone dragging him, causing severe pain to come from the wound he had just suffered, and he woke up directly from the pain.

Screaming and opening his eyes, Lynch saw a gravel at least as big as a basketball falling from the sky and hitting him directly in the face.

Damn it.

Joy falls from heaven.

Lin Qi's eyes widened and he tried to roll away with all his strength. However, as soon as his muscles tightened, the tearing pain from his lower abdomen interrupted his movement.

However, the drag force was still there, and Miss Valente was dragging his ankle to move with difficulty, just out of the range of the stone. There was a bang, the stone hit the ground wiping his hair, and the gravel splashed. , it hit Lynch's cheek sorely.

Only then did Lynch realize that there were frequent roars and vibrations under his feet, and dirt and gravel continued to fall from his head. Occasionally, large rocks fell down, leaving holes of varying depths on the ground.

what's the situation?

Her last name is Valente, not Drake, and my last name is not Crawford. Why did it suddenly become like this?

"Get up, Mr. Lynch. I know you're in pain, so bear with it."

Miss Valente let go of Lynch's ankles and rushed forward, grabbing his arms and lifting him up.

Lynch held the wound and endured the pain. Lynch helped Miss Valente stand up. The wound was treated well. At least the intestines were not touched, but the body was still weak and the wound was in constant pain. It seemed that the treatment Abilities also have limits.

Miss Valente struggled to hold Lynch up. She was also pale and sweating profusely. She would gasp after walking a few steps. It was obvious that her injuries had not healed, but even so, she still had a bright smile. It seemed that something strange and happy had happened. He was almost beaten to death, but he seemed to be so happy that he was about to sing a song.

It's baffling, why don't I know what is so happy about?

Lin Qi only dared to think about it, but did not dare to ask, for fear of being left on the spot. So although he was in pain and couldn't feel happy at all, he still tried hard to maintain the balance of his body and help reduce the girl's burden.

Boom.

Just as they stood firm, the ground shook again, almost causing the two of them to fall down again. They only managed to survive this shaking thanks to mutual support.

"What happened?" Lynch picked up the fallen cane, and with the support of the cane, he finally stood firmer.

"Without the support of the evil god's power, the city is about to collapse. We must replicate your actions in the dream before it collapses in order to escape alive. What exactly did you do in the dream?"

You're only asking now.

But realizing that this girl probably never expected to leave alive before, Lynch explained it again, and then asked: "If there is no power of the evil god, will Maya's characteristics also become invalid? Can we still escape? ?”

"No, she is connected to Zul'Glassar. Her connection will not be cut off before the city collapses. We still have a chance. The problem is..."

"Shaft."

The two people's faces became ugly at the same time. They supported each other to avoid the falling rocks that fell from the sky from time to time, and reluctantly moved back to the falling shaft. At this time, it was already dark inside, and there were waves of ominous atmosphere.

This is how to do?

Both of them realized that this might be the biggest obstacle on the way to escape. When it was intact, there were many ways for both of them to go up, but now it was difficult for them to stand, and the dozens of meters high shaft was simply an insurmountable gap.

Damn it, could it be that even the evil god's clone was destroyed, but he was buried with this city?

The road to immortality has just begun, and I am not willing to give in. There must be a way.

Boom.

There was another violent vibration, and the two of them hugged each other and shook for a long time before regaining stability. It lasted much longer than the previous times, with large pieces of gravel falling around the two of them, and even large pieces of artificial stone slabs falling from the shaft, almost hitting the two of them several times.

The two looked at each other and knew that there was no time. Maybe the next earthquake would cause even this shaft to collapse.

Lin Qi gritted his teeth. Since he had no other choice, he would take the risk and give it a try. As soon as the vibration stopped, he immediately asked loudly: "Feather Falling Technique can help reduce weight. If it can be used when falling, can it be used when falling?" While climbing?”

Um? Use it the other way around?

Miss Valente's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out a handful of feathers, lit them, and blew the ashes onto Lynch. A strange feeling immediately appeared. Lin Qi felt that his whole body was light and airy, and the pressure of his weight was less than 1% of the original weight. It was as if he could jump into the air with just a little effort.

It works.

Lin Qi exerted force on his legs, lost weight, and even the pain from the wound caused his whole body to fly into the air. Although the muscle contraction still brought strong pain, his body still rose into the sky and got into the dark cave.

That's it. Lin Qi was secretly happy. Seeing that his ascent was getting slower and slower, he tried to reach out and grab the protrusions of the shaft wall as if he were rock climbing.

However, as soon as he touched the rock wall, Lin Qi's heart sank.

Due to the power of cold, the temperature in the cave is extremely low. Although there is not much moisture in the air, there is still a thin layer of ice on the rock wall, which is so smooth that it cannot be used. Lynch failed to find a fixed point several times in a row and could only drift down the original path.

Boom.

There was another slight shaking, and Miss Valente quickly stepped forward to support Lynch who was about to fall: "Can't you?"

"Well, the temperature is too low, it's freezing." Halfway through his words, Lynch suddenly froze and frowned, "Wait, what's the temperature?"

"how?"

"There is a way we can try." Lin Qi's eyes sparkled and he asked with suppressed excitement, "Do you have a tent? It's a canvas one. You must have brought it."

"Well." Miss Valente took out a single tent and handed it over with a confused look on her face, "What's the use?"

"Just to confirm again, theoretically the Feather Falling Technique can also be used on items."

"Yes, you can."

"Hey, that's easy."

Lynch grinned and quickly cut the tent open, unfolded it into a large piece of canvas, tied strings to several corners, and tied it to a large iron plate below to make the simplest hot air balloon shape.

The vibrations became more and more frequent, and rocks continued to fall, but Lynch didn't care at all, and was extremely focused on playing with the canvas and tray. Although Miss Valente was confused, she didn't ask a question. She stood by Lynch's side silently and shot several times to smash the rocks that hit the canvas and the tray. She watched as a crooked ball quickly formed.

"What is it?" It wasn't until Lynch clapped his hands and finished the operation that Miss Valente asked with confidence, "Can it really help us escape?"

"It's theoretically possible, let's try it, I hope so."

Looking at what he had made in a few minutes, Lin Qi also sighed. If he were in his hometown, this thing would never fly, but he had tried it just now. The effect of the Feather Falling Technique was very good, enough to offset the effects of a simple hot air balloon. Due to its own weight, and the temperature difference in the shaft being large enough, the hot air balloon might actually be able to fly.

"Use Featherfall on items and myself so I don't need it."

Under Lynch's guidance, Miss Valente used the secret method several times in a daze, and then she saw Lynch squatting into the tray.

"Help lift the tent, yes, that's it. Don't let go yet, wait for it to stand up on its own."

While giving instructions, Lin Qi put on the ring, and with a roar, it turned into a large ball of flame that did not require fuel.

"It sure works." Under the steaming heat, the sphere gradually filled up and floated on its own. A burst of flames immediately heard Lynch's cry, whether it was a wail or an excitement, "Quick, grab the rope, the hot air balloon Lynch will set off immediately. "

"Kala ka la."

Spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly from the direction of the underground canyon. Large chunks of the ground collapsed and fell into an unseen abyss. Large chunks of rock above the head also collapsed and fell, hitting the cave floor hard and accelerating. The ground is falling apart, making the cracks spread more and more fiercely, and the pace of collapse is unstoppable.

Under the tray, Miss Valente tied the climbing rope around her waist with a pale face. She held the rope tightly with one hand and shot a rock above her head with her other finger: "The crack is coming soon, Lin Mr. Qi, come on."

"Then go ahead, it's already burning to the maximum!" The human-shaped flames were burning brightly, and the fire kept beating. I don't know if it was the flames or the people, but the voice was more anxious than the flames, "Let me fly."

"Boom."

The sky collapsed.

The roar of rock breaking became louder and louder, and suddenly there was a crack on the ground under my feet. Then more and more cracks became more and more dense. In the blink of an eye, the cracks had spread. In the exclamation of a man and a ball of fire , with a bang, the ground collapsed completely, and tens of millions of tons of rocks, wrapped in soil, fell into the bottomless depths of the strata.

"Ah~~"

As soon as her feet were empty, Miss Valente fell into the abyss together with the tray. Just as her desperate scream sounded, her waist and hands suddenly tightened, as if they were being pulled by something.

Has the fall stopped?

Boom boom, boom boom.

With her heart beating nervously, Miss Valente carefully opened her eyes.

There are dark rock formations above, and the rocks are collapsing and falling. Below you are an endless abyss with no bottom. Being in mid-air, I couldn't even tell whether I was going up or down.

The next moment, the flames became more intense, and the tattered hot air balloon expanded to its maximum size, rushing upstream amidst countless falling rocks and rushing towards the intact shaft above.

"Mr. Lynch, it's really flying."

Miss Valente was hanging on the rope, her braided hair had unraveled at some point, and her long chestnut hair was flying in the wind. The aristocratic lady clutched the rope tightly, her brows and eyes filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement. She raised her head and stared at the dancing flames on the tray above her head. The flames flashed and flickered, and her eyes flickered, seeming to contain indescribable emotions.

"Oh, yes, we are going home. Goodbye, Zul'Glashar."

The human-shaped flames flickered and became more powerful. The hot air balloon was broken and ugly, but it floated higher and higher, and sank into the well-maintained shaft.
