Chapter 248 The Inescapable Reality
Above the poisonous swamp, two figures were walking.
Although they were said to be walking, a closer look revealed that the two figures did not touch the surface of the poisonous swamp at all, but were suspended a few centimeters in the air.
“These boots are amazing.”
Floating above the poisonous swamp, Hawkwood felt the feeling of flying and couldn't help but say to Xia Yu beside him.
Xia Yu did not reply, but made a downward gesture, asking Hawkwood to calm down. He had already taken out so many technological products, why was he still not used to them.
The boots on Hawkwood's feet are jet boots similar to Iron Man's armor, but they are more stable and can directly reach the level of walking in the air .
The energy consumed is just ordinary water, because Xia Yu and others on the technological side have already analyzed the reactor in Neil's world, reaching the level where as long as there is water, there is energy.
Of course, now that Xia Yu and others on the technological side have real power, they are no longer satisfied with sufficient energy, but are trying to create the legendary endless energy.
It’s a pity that there is no Xia Yu from the world of Seer, otherwise at least we could get some endless energy for them to refer to, so they don’t have to start from scratch.
As the two moved towards the center of the fortress, more and more mutant monsters discovered them.
In order to regain the feeling of fighting, Hawkwood went alone to deal with the mutated monsters.
"They are Guru, the descendants of the fortress's deacons. They were originally a great help in our fight against the abyss, but because of the overflow of the abyss, they were also corrupted into this state."
After Hawkwood killed a Gollum that suddenly attacked him, he explained to Xia Yu beside him.
"The Gollum tribes live in the deep swamps of the Fran Fortress, guarding their home. However, due to the corrosion of the environment, these guys have also spread to a wide area and even mutated into different appearances."
Listening to Hawkwood's explanation, Xia Yu nodded in understanding. As for the shampooer, no one understood his ferocity better than him.
It's just that washing your hair is a little painful, to the extent that your brains will be washed out.
And at the moment when the two were talking, a huge figure suddenly broke through the blockade of the poisonous swamp and crawled out from the depths of the swamp.
It was a strange half-beast creature with twisted horns on its head and a bloody mouth. Its sturdy body seemed to be made of trees and was covered with dirty black hair, which was dripping with smelly mud.
The monster twisted its stiff head, spotted the two people in front of it at a glance, and immediately let out a shrill howl.
“Roar, ahhhh!!”
The howl directly caused the swamp to shake, and ripples appeared in all directions.
"Elder Gollum..." Hawkwood's face did not look very good, as if he did not expect to meet such an enemy.
"It is the ruler of the Grunt race. It has a huge body that is extremely inconsistent with its peers. It is a ferocious beast that lives in the swamp . Be careful!"
At the moment Hawkwood was explaining, Elder Gollum swung his thick branches violently and smashed them towards the two people in front of him.
Xia Yu floated away from the attack range, while Hawkwood dodged by twisting his body in a weird posture.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu wanted to say, Hawkwood, you said you can't do street dance! !
boom--!
The huge branch brushed past Hawkwood's body and smashed into the swamp. In an instant, the swamp was instantly raised more than ten meters, and even the earth shook.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu was about to draw his weapon, but Hawkwood suddenly shouted.
"let me!"
"After all, they were my companions who once fought with the Undead Corps. Now that they have been corrupted by the Abyss, it is up to me to let them rest in peace."
As he spoke, Hawkwood raised his greatsword in his right hand and rushed forward with a shield in his left hand.
The Undead Corps' wolf swordsmanship cannot be used with a shield. Now that Hawkwood has picked up a shield, he is unable to use the Undead Corps' most powerful wolf swordsmanship.
But even though he lacked courage and strength, he still had the upper hand when facing Elder Gollum.
No matter how clumsy he was, he was still a member of the Undead Squad who could fight one against a hundred. The fighting skills that penetrated his soul would not be easily forgotten even if they were burned.
As the battle with Elder Gollum continued, Hawkwood's figure became more and more graceful, and his agility and offensiveness were gradually restored.
However, he still couldn't drop the shield in his hand, and the curved dagger that matched the wolf swordsmanship was still quietly on his waist.
boom--!
With a loud bang, the tall elder Gollum was finally chopped down by Hawkwood's sword, and even the hard horns were all broken.
At this moment, Hawkwood has regained some of the demeanor of a member of the Undead Squad, but he still hasn't taken out his pointed iron hat and put it on.
Looking at Elder Gollum who had already lost his life, Hawkwood performed the etiquette of the Undead Team and then waved in the direction of Xia Yu.
"Let's go."
…
Although the scope of the Fran Fortress is large, it does not take long for Xia Yu, who has already completed the exploration, and Hawkwood, who is familiar with the environment.
However, when he was about to reach the temple that sealed the abyss in the Fran Fortress, Hawkwood's pace slowed down.
His body began to tremble, his face gradually turned pale, and his body shook with every step he took.
Looking at the gate of the mausoleum that had appeared in his sight, Hawkwood felt a little dry in the mouth, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
It was clear that if he walked a little further he would be able to see his former companions, but at this moment, Hawkwood just couldn't take a step forward.
He is afraid, he is terrified.
As for what he was afraid of and terrified, perhaps he had already thought about it, but he just didn't want to believe it or imagine that scene.
“Bang!”
After taking another step, Hawkwood couldn't help but want to turn around and leave, but before he could take action, a hand suddenly pressed against his back.
Then a great force came and pushed his body towards the door.
“Pah—”
Hawkwood stumbled, his body tilted, his steps were unstable, and he fell directly at the door of the mausoleum.
But he did not get up, but buried his head deeply in the ground, because he heard the sound of fighting coming from behind the thick door.
"What? You're not going in?"
Xia Yu took a step forward and asked casually, looking at Hawkwood who was like an ostrich at his feet and was afraid to face reality.
Hawkwood didn't reply, but just lay on the ground trembling. Seeing this, Xia Yu didn't say anything else.
No matter how much you try to escape reality, you still have to face it in the end. Besides, you have come this far. Even if you want to escape, it is too late.
Xia Yu did not look at Hawkwood again, but stretched out his hands and pressed against the rough and heavy stone door. The patterns on the stone door had long been blurred.
Listening to the sounds of fighting, Xia Yu took a deep breath, used both hands to push open the door that had been closed for a long time.
