Versatile mage: I am lucky

The mercenary group was indeed well-trained, and it didn't take long to organize the formation. A group of rock mages and light mages stood on the outside, and the destruction mages stood in their protective circle. Some of them had flexible movements and movements. The agile mages are attracting the attention of demons in other directions on the outer periphery, and there are also a few more powerful ones who can use them freely.

"Did a white shadow rush over there just now?" Lingling pointed to the end of the cave and asked Apasi.

"Yes, that's a leader-level tiger demon. It should be the Tianshan Demon Tiger you mentioned. What's wrong?" Apasi didn't feel anything was wrong. Since becoming the emperor, she now sees everyone as the same. The people who insert bids and sell out don't care about those weak monsters.

"The Tianshan Devil Tiger's habitat is far away from here. It will definitely not appear near here under normal circumstances. There must be some reason. Can you track the location of the Tianshan Devil Tiger?" Lingling asked.

"Is this Tianshan Demon Tiger important?" Apasi felt guilty after hearing Lingling's words.

"Of course if there is an abnormality, you need to know more information... What did you do?" Lingling also slowly tasted the meaning of Apasi's words.

"The devil tiger was about to come in just now. It was quite fast. I was afraid that you would be injured and I would just crush it to death... How about I catch another one for you?"

"Since he's dead, forget it. Our target is the Trace of Tianshan Mountain. We will always encounter it again on the road. There is no need to go out to find it." Lingling shook her head and looked at the mercenary group.

The terrain of the Great Rift Valley is quite complex, especially the stone walls, cracks, inverted rocks, and steep slopes above the head. Those desert bone-eating spiders can climb on them perfectly, and basically no one has climbed to the ground...

This means that these desert bone-eating spiders attack from top to bottom. Before casting powerful destructive magic, they must first consider not to collapse the rock mass above their heads, so as not to bury themselves under the rift valley.

More desert bone-eating spiders appeared. None of them touched the ground. They were all crawling or hanging upside down. This made everyone in the mercenary group have to raise their heads. Different elemental magics flew up to high places, constantly Many desert bone-eating spiders were directly shot down because they hid behind too fragile rock formations, but compared to the number of all desert bone-eating spiders, the number was a bit small.

The leader of the mercenary group made a prompt decision and led everyone to break out to the Kuo Gorge in the distance. The Kuo Gorge is a relatively direct large crack, about three hundred meters wide. There is the sky above the head and rocky cliffs on both sides. The Desert Bone-eating Spider cannot Hide into the crevices of those strange and rugged rocks.

However, the desert bone-eating spiders behind them no longer followed, but the rock masses on both sides of their path and above their heads were all covered with these desert bone-eating spiders, which made the originally purest brown rock walls appear to have appeared. The terrifying and ferocious texture, as well as those pairs of eyes that make people shudder, twinkling like stars.

These desert bone-eating spiders can cling to rocks, and their body skin is completely the same color as the rocks. As long as they lie there motionless and close their eyes, people will not notice them walking by them. The mercenary group died as a result. A few people explored the road, but the road was winding and the number of desert bone-eating spiders was unknown, so they had to retreat to the cave.

"Lingling, I don't understand. We can obviously pass easily, why are we still spending time here with this mercenary group?" This group of people can be said to be of no use, but Apasi is puzzled by Lingling's behavior.

"Always be cautious when facing the unknown. Even if you are an emperor, you are not invincible. There must be someone to help you, right?" What Lingling said is not at all like what a little girl should think. It seems a bit ruthless and does not take it seriously. Human lives matter.

But in fact this is not the case. Mercenaries work by exchanging lives for money and resources. Even if Lingling does not hire them, their trip to the Tianshan Mountains will not stop. They will still face various dangers. Lingling's existence will give them Added a layer of protection, like now...

Lingling touched Haidong Qingshen who was resting on her shoulder. Haidong Qingshen raised his head, and his majestic and high-pitched cry echoed in the canyon, showing his pressure!

The desert bone-eating spiders that originally attacked like crazy fled like a cat after seeing a mouse, disappearing into the rock crevices and disappearing. The mercenary group felt that the difficult difficulties were instantly dispelled, and no one knew how many people were saved.

Not long after leaving the cave, a trembling feeling came from not far away, as if something huge was sweeping past, it was a mudslide!
The Great Rift Valley of the Tianshan Mountains leads to areas with higher altitudes. Floods of rocks rush down like torrents and can basically fill most of the slits, rift valleys, steep slopes, and rock tunnels. However, some caves and caves that do not have a thick mountain to rely on, There is a high probability that the grotto will be directly collapsed and destroyed!
If the mercenary group had just stayed there and encountered demon siege after the mudslide crossed the border, the captain's mages who had reached the super level might not suffer much damage, but those high-level members might not survive much.

They stood on a higher ground, and some of them looked back at the long cracks, rocky corridors, and flat valleys they had walked before. They thought that the debris flow would follow the skeleton of the valley like a river entering a valley.

But who knew that the power of the flood was far more exaggerated than expected. It was like a steel dragon full of power, running rampant under the cracks on the ground, easily destroying the cracks beyond recognition, and even destroying the original landform of the rift valley. It was widened several times, and the huge sound made most people close to deafness in an instant!

The Haoyue mercenary group counted the casualties and found that two people died, who were exploring the way in the cave before. Haidong Qingshen once again showed his power, making them look at Lingling and Apasi with more and more awe.

After the mudslide passed, after a slight rectification, the team continued to move forward and set off. The mercenary group has a strong psychological quality, and it is common for people to die in the execution of missions. They do not have the intention to mourn the deceased, and more to start Introspection and began to re-examine Tianshan.

If it weren't for Lingling and the others, the team would have suffered heavy casualties long ago. Then before the snow layer on the glacier accumulates, there will be very few people left in the team, so we must act more carefully and cautiously!

The mudslide also brought a benefit, that is, they could clearly know the route to continue moving forward. The mudslide was impacted from the upper layer, so it was definitely not wrong to follow the debris of the mudslide.

After about a few hours of waiting, the mudslide turned into ordinary sand and rock. Although it suddenly changed a lot of the landforms of the Desert Rift Valley along the way, the Great Rift Valley is still the Great Rift Valley, no matter what. It will be blocked by the impact of the flood, and it will not be filled and disappeared by the flood.

Valleys, river valleys, and streams are all formed by constant erosion by rain. The Tianshan Rift Valley is probably also washed away by countless mudslides. Finally, a rift entrance was carved out at the foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, allowing people to enter it.

Therefore, the ultimate source of this great rift valley must be the Tianshan glaciers.

There is an ice-invading wind tart on the glacier layer. This is a terrifying natural force that no matter how powerful the magician is, it is difficult to eliminate it. It is like the Tianshan Mountains rejecting the ban on all foreign creatures in the world. If the ice and snow layer enters the Tianshan Great Rift Valley, Maybe you can be protected from the ice and wind, and have a chance to directly enter the Sky Trace where you can't find the entrance!
It seems that my luck has been pretty good lately, Lingling thought to herself.

...After the mudslide, the entire desert rift valley became silent. Occasionally, some corpses buried on the surface could be seen along the way. Obviously, the creatures living here sometimes cannot escape such sudden disasters. .

Following the path of the mudslide, everyone successfully walked out of the desert layer and began to enter the meadow layer with moss and cold grass.

The meadow layer means that the ground above their heads is covered with thick plateau meadows. What they see is a land of mostly green mountains and greenery, ethereal, holy, beautiful and spectacular!
Going down from the highest point of the Tianshan Mountains, there are the glacier layer, the alpine zero-temperature layer, the meadow layer, and the desert layer. So walking out of the desert layer means that they are closer to the glacier layer, and one step closer to the location of the Tianshan Trace.

The ecological form of the Great Rift Valley in the desert layer is relatively simple, mainly composed of rocks, sand, cliffs, and cracks. The meadow layer is more diverse, and the monster species that inhabit it will be more diverse and the number will definitely be larger.

The terrain of the Great Rift Valley in the meadow layer is relatively more open, and some places can even look like valleys, basins, and low-lying pastures. They also inherit the characteristics of the meadow layer.

At first, it was just some vegetation that obviously grew in low-lying areas was covered under your feet, but as you continue to go deeper, you will find that even the cliffs above your head and on both sides are covered with plants, including some large-leaf climbing grasses. It was as thick as a wall. If you didn't get closer, you would have thought you were walking into a dead end.

In places covered with vegetation, there are generally more creatures and more poisonous species. Entering this more complex territory, the mercenary group's nerves can't help but become tense.

We encountered many predatory groups along the way, and they were all repelled. This was a crushing exercise in terms of pure strength. Under normal circumstances, the demonic groups in the desert layer should not be able to stop a mage group of the level of the Haoyue Mercenary Group, similar to the Desert. Bone-eating spiders are only a handful of extremely cunning and terrifying species.

However, not long after walking, the mercenary group stationed themselves on a piece of dry moss. Someone in the group suddenly fell ill. The condition was similar to altitude sickness. It would be fine if it were one or two, but half of them fell ill one after another. Very intriguing...

I have to say that the oxygen under this rift valley is indeed a bit thin. Those plant products themselves are negative and do not receive sunlight. Plants without sunlight cannot purify the air. Everyone has a kind of dull breathing and difficulty breathing. a feeling of.

Not only the people in the mercenary group, but also Lingling herself was feeling uncomfortable. She had difficulty breathing, had a headache and felt nauseous, and was so tired that she couldn't walk. Fortunately, the healing magic still worked, but she still felt sick soon after the cure. Will get sick.

Apasi squinted her eyes. She didn't notice anything the first time, but she found a clue the second time. There was some pollen in the air that was difficult to detect without paying special attention. She originally thought the fragrance was good. , now it seems that I can’t keep it.

Without disturbing anyone, or even moving in place, the Mountain Frost Demon who spread the Mountain Frost Lotus powder in the distance died instantly. All the Mountain Frost Lotuses were destroyed, leaving only one original seed in her hand. , this kind of plant life is very interesting, she is very interested in it.

The source was dead, and the bodies of the sick mercenaries were slowly recovering. Although they were a little confused, the team attributed their illness to acclimatization. Now they have adapted, and then started to move forward again.

"Did you solve it?" Lingling looked at Apasi. Although it was a question, she was very sure.

"It's the pollen from this thing that made you sick. I remember it's called Mountain Frost Lotus. It's said to be the one that can detoxify. This is its seed." Apasi handed her the seed.

Lingling sniffed and smelled some pleasant fragrance, and she probably guessed how this thing reproduced.

"Mountain Frost Lotus... first uses pollen to make organisms sick, then emits a strange fragrance to lure organisms to eat, and then uses the organisms to reproduce. It is really vicious, but it has a lot of medicinal value. I will give it to Sister Zhigu, and maybe it can develop a detoxification Drug industry, please close it.”

……

Everyone carefully panned for gold along the way and gained a lot. When the people of the mercenary group realized that they were about to step out of the rich meadow layer, they were still a little reluctant to part with it.

The real treasures of the Tianshan Mountains are hidden in the mountains and glaciers. It is a pure land without any destruction or picking. When they think of making such a fortune just at the meadow level, the people in the mercenary group look forward to the higher levels of the Tianshan Mountains. The place.

When you reach the high mountain level, the vegetation becomes obviously sparse, and most of them are steep and severe alpine rocks. Due to the greater altitude difference here, walking in many areas of the Great Rift Valley feels like you are deep under a dark cliff. .

Walking in this rift valley does not feel like walking under a crack in the earth, but more like a majestic mountain screen rising in front and on both sides. The rolling cliffs touch the vast blue sky, and even appear on some peaks. There is a very obvious snow line, and the sacred white reflects the light of day, making the more winding and steeper, long, remote and dangerous mountain road ahead more clearly visible.

The sky has just begun to shine, and the orange morning light shines on this high mountain area where coniferous forests grow. There are also many coniferous forests in this Great Rift Valley. Not all areas of the Tianshan Great Rift Valley are dark, narrow, and deep. At this level of wind and frost, walking in the Great Rift Valley of the Tianshan Mountains is not much different from walking in the mountains. Many times they will wonder whether they are still in the Great Rift Valley.

On the ground, there is a layer of fallen needles. When you step on it, it will make a slight sound. The cold frost will melt away at dawn, so the fallen leaves will look wet. Walking on such a path covered with leaves, you will feel the emptiness and silence. A feeling of unease, because many times you can't tell whether it's the footsteps of nearby teammates or the unbearable sound of a prey hiding somewhere.

"thump!"

A white shadow flew towards the edge of the team, but was restricted by the inexplicable pressure and could not move on the ground...

"Tianshan Devil Tiger?"
