Chapter 1057 Akabi Promenade

Along the way, Papa Ian was worried.

"What makes you so uneasy?" Allen rode to the old man and handed him a water bag containing wine.

The old man took it and unscrewed the cork and smelled it. The aroma of the wine was tangy, 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 abnormal."

"Oh?" Allen knew that an experienced guide like Ian was more familiar with the situation in the Land of Shadows than himself, and asked, "You mean they attacked us last night."

Father Ian nodded and said: "Not only did they attack us, that strange mine was probably also their masterpiece. I think it's very strange, my lord. First of all, there is no mine worth mining in the Coldridge Mountains. The most here is stone. What's more, in a dangerous place like the Shadowlands, the most common people here are shadow demons. So this mine, I can't figure out why it appears in such a place."

"Then there are shadow demons. These groups of demons inhabit the Shadowlands. They hunt, and occasionally attack travelers who come and go near the Shadowlands. But such a large-scale mobilization like last night is unheard of, and , I have never heard of the giant-like aliens and those dark-skinned guys among the shadow demons. These things scare me, my lord, and I always feel that this world has become strange."

"The world is always changing, Dad." Allen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you worried that one day, Shadow Demon will attack Frostwind City on a large scale like last night?"

Ian nodded vigorously: "This is exactly what I fear, my lord. We have always thought that shadow demons are just like ordinary beasts. Of course, they are more dangerous beasts. But I didn't realize until last night that these things It can also be an army. Yes, I can only describe them as an army. After all, they know how to charge, oh my god, I really can't imagine them appearing under Frostwind City."

"You're overthinking, Dad." Allen smiled and said, "I admit that I opened my eyes last night, but Shadow Demons still have their inescapable weaknesses. They are afraid of sunlight, flames and even all bright things. Here in the Shadowland The lack of sunshine for many years provides the conditions for the shadow demons to be active during the day. It takes at least three or four days to travel from the Shadowlands to the Frostwind City, and there are very few caves on the way that can accommodate a large number of shadow demons. , or a similar environment. So if the Shadow Fiends want to attack Frostwind City, they will have to pay a lot."

"What's more, today's Frostwind City is not the same as when you were just opening up wasteland, you were protected by the empire. If such a thing really happens, the imperial team will not sit idly by."

Hear what Alan said,

Ian's complexion improved a bit. After more than an hour, Ian raised his hand, and the caravan stopped. The old man looked into the distance and sighed: "We have arrived, the Akabi corridor, the valley of death..."

He pointed forward.

Allen looked up, and the great rift valley of the Akabi Corridor was not far away. The terrain of the Shadowland continued to rise here, and the peaks on both sides rose high. The rift valley was deep and long, and the light in the valley Dim, more floating a misty

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Mist. Occasionally, a wind blows from the chasm, bringing a whisper like a ghost.

This is the Akabi Promenade.

At this moment, after Edward and a Dark Blade whispered a few words, they came to Allen's side and whispered: "We have to pass through the rift as soon as possible, and the Dark Blade found something following us."

"Shadow Demon?"

"Probably."

"It's really lingering..." Allen squinted his eyes and asked, "Father Ian, how long do we have to walk in the Akabi corridor?"

"It will take two days if you hurry up."

"It's a bit tricky." Allen said softly, and called Fares again, asking him to allocate a good manpower to protect the front and rear ends of the team, so as not to be in a hurry when the shadow demon suddenly attacked. After getting ready, the caravan continued to move forward and slowly entered the Akabi corridor.

After the team entered the rift valley, a head popped out from behind a big rock outside the entrance of the rift valley. The shadow fiend with scarlet skin jumped onto the stone, looked at the entrance of the crack and let out a soft whistle, then swung the wall and pointed at the entrance of the corridor. Countless black shadows suddenly appeared around, and a shadow demon flew from the ground, its side and the cliffs on both sides.

The ground shook slightly, and two trolls walked side by side. They stopped behind the red-skinned shadow demon, and the red demon jumped onto the neck of one of the trolls, patting 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. This goat skull lying on the gravel is obscured by a few weeds, and a mountain lizard crawls out of the left eye socket. Lizards have gray skin with spots of varying shades. It is difficult to distinguish it from rocks when it is not moving. The eyes of the mountain lizard are rolling, reflecting the picture of a horse's hoof stepping down. It swam away very vigilantly, and the next moment, the weathered and fragile goat skull was trampled away.

There are not many bones of such animals on the Akabi promenade, and in some places there are even piles of bones. There are usually unusually bright flowers under those bones. Ian calls them Lori flowers. According to the legend of Frostwind City, the wife of Akabi, the god of death, is called Lori. So this kind of flower that grows under the bones is named after it.

Loliflower and weeds can be said to be the only plants in the Akabi corridor, and they have become a rare embellishment in this monotonous rift valley. There is no fork in the rift valley, you only need to keep walking when you get here, and Father Ian is finally free. Riding a skinny horse and smoking a cigarette, but kept silent. No one in the line talked, only the sound of wheels rolling, and the people of Frostwind City believed that speaking loudly in the corridors of Akabi would wake up the god of death. Allen doesn't believe in the existence of any god of death, but the atmosphere here is more depressing than the Shadowlands, which naturally makes people have no idea of ​​​​talking.

Everyone lowered their heads and hurried on their way, hoping to get out of the rift as soon as possible.

At noon, the caravan stopped to rest. The soldiers started a fire to make food, and Ian stopped smoking, and just squatted on a big rock to drink water. Allen walked up to him, took out a dry ration bought in Frostwind City, and handed it to his father. The old man's eyes lit up, and he took it happily: "Hey, Yves meatloaf. Do you know, my lord, this is the meat of the black goat, which is smoked and roasted, and then put in the sun and rubbed with salt to expose it to the sun. The dough can be used to make cakes, and the meatloaf can be stored for three months, and we can take them wherever we go to taste the taste of our hometown.”

He took a hard bite and ate with relish.

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) "Father, Shadow Demon is following us." Allen said softly.

Ian sighed: "Those demons are very vengeful. If the battle last night still can't scare them away, then there will be more of them today."

"I need a place where I can fight. It shouldn't be too spacious. It's better to have obstacles that can divide the number of shadow demons. If these followers are not eliminated, I'm sure our journey ahead will not be very pleasant."

Ian looked at Allen and said sincerely: "Your Excellency must be the bravest warrior I have ever seen. We are not willing to provoke those demons even if we are killed. I think about it, we will reach the Hundred Eyes Cave after walking about two kilometers. There are large and small natural caves on the mountain wall, and it is said that they are the windows for Akabi to gaze at the surface, so I don’t know whether the environment meets the requirements of adults.”

"Sounds good." Alan chatted with Ian casually, and then returned to the camp. I bumped into Edward and Fares head-on, and seeing Alan approaching, Edward said softly: "I discussed with Fares just now, and the action of the Shadow Demon is very suspicious. Dark Blade has confirmed that there are thousands of Shadow Demons following him Behind us, this is not a small number, it is already an army. It stands to reason that they have a numerical advantage and should have launched an attack earlier. But they are still hanging far behind us, as if they are 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 can solve these things in the Shadowlands."

"There are a lot of opponents." Fares reminded.

Allen nodded and said, "There is no need to wipe them all out. From the battle last night, it is not difficult to see that there are intelligent alien species in the Shadow Demon. As long as such alien species are killed, they will become a group of beasts, not an army."

"Go get everyone ready for battle, check the equipment, prepare ammunition and fire mines." Allen patted Fares on the arm, and the latter nodded and went down.

Allen looked towards the rear of the team, and he could barely see the vague outlines of things in the mist of the misty mountains, just like the motive of the Shadow Demon that seemed to be hidden deep in the mist. Allen can only be sure of one thing, those things must not be treated as ordinary beasts!

Baiyan Cave, this is a unique scenery in the Akabi corridor. It is located at a sharp bend in the rift valley. Due to its special location, the mountain wind has been whistling all year round. Those caves are not so much natural as they are formed by years of wind and snow erosion. These caves eroded by the wind and snow are large and small, distributed randomly among the mountain walls on the left. From a distance, the cave is gloomy and chilly.

After the caravan turned into the rift valley bend, the horse wagons were gathered in a larger cave in Baiyan Cave. The inch fire shooter began to climb up the rock wall, and the small caves above were natural shooting bunkers. The mountain king warriors moved huge boulders and piled them up high, and then tied them horizontally with thick ropes to fix them...

When the soldiers were preparing for battle, a pair of dark, ink-like eyes looked at the bend of the rift valley in the distance. Riding on the troll's neck, the scarlet-skinned shadow demon couldn't see the human beings on the other side of the curve. It hit the troll on the head, and the two trolls began to stride. The Red Shadow Demon let out a series of rapid whistling sounds, as if the horn of war had been sounded, and the Gray Shadow Demon and the Black Demon mixed with it all began to accelerate and rush forward. From the ground and both sides of the cliff, the Shadow Demon rushed forward like a torrent flowing through a rift!
