Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 152: Dark Winter (Part 1)
In the dark cave, two figures were moving forward quickly and swiftly.
It was not the first time for Jessica and Marvin to enter the underground space, but compared to Marvin, Jessica's experience was obviously much more immature.
The terrain near the Rocky Mountain is very complex. Not only are there various terrains on the surface, but the underground space is also full of caves. In order to kill nearby monsters, she often goes underground.
But that is only the shallow underground space.
She had never been to the real underground world.
That's why she invited Marvin to go with her. Otherwise, with the Apocalypse Warlock's arrogant character, he would never accept help from anyone.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the current situation is too serious.
The three sisters had finally established a new order in the Stone Mountain and built the City of Hope, but they were suddenly faced with such a terrible siege.
If the problem cannot be solved fundamentally, these endless underground monsters will sooner or later swallow up the City of Hope!
Kate can't leave the City of Hope.
She is a key figure in protecting the Spark of Order, and with her unique power of protection, she can help the Spark of Order expel dark creatures.
This is also the reason why City of Hope has been able to persist until now.
Marvin had seen Kate before, and the reason why she looked so pale was because she was continuously consuming a large amount of the power of apocalypse.
But this is not a long-term solution. She alone cannot fight against the monsters in the underground. Jessica investigated a lot of information, and finally all the clues pointed to the eternal frozen spring.
As the founder of City of Hope, Jessica will never sit idly by.
Ma Wen could understand her anxiety. If the White River Valley encountered such trouble, he would also be very troubled.
All I can say is that the geographical location of Luanshi Mountain is really awkward. It has suffered major impacts many times in previous games and is a famous location where many super-large missions have taken place .
Now that the Golden Sons - the players' participation is gone, the difficulty for the three sisters to hold on has undoubtedly increased many times.
As an ally , Marvin would not sit idly by.
After looking through all the maps of the Underdark that Jessica could find and memorizing them firmly in her mind, the two immediately set off quietly.
It is not difficult for two legendary strongmen to hide from some demonized monsters when they join forces.
In fact, these creatures are not individually strong, but their endless numbers are really a headache.
They entered the tunnel from an entrance inside the City of Hope, dodged several waves of monsters roaring out from the ground, and headed towards the underworld.
Along the way, they quietly observed the number and quality of the monsters.
What worries Jessica is that the number of creatures leaving the underground is about the same as before, but the strength of each individual creature is increasing.
These monsters all have one characteristic, that is, their eyes are all pure white.
There are no impurities and it is the color of white snow.
This is the characteristic of the dark ghost!
"How far has the Dark Ghost Clan expanded in the Underdark?"
Marvin and Jessica looked at each other, both horrified.
The two of them went down all the way, and relying on Marvin's experience and memory from his previous life, they avoided many dangerous places. Finally, after about three hours, they arrived at the city closest to the Rocky Mountain.
Marvin vaguely remembered that the name of this city was [Bledsoe], a city founded by gray dwarves.
There are many mines near Bledsoe, which have attracted a large number of gray dwarves to settle here. At the same time, dark elves and bugbears are not welcome here. As for other dark races, the gray dwarves do not refuse them - as long as you can afford the entrance fee.
However, when Marvin and Jessica bypassed the cave and reached a high platform overlooking the city of Bledsoe below the basin, they both fell silent.
Today, Bledsoe has turned into a dead city!
The buildings, the majestic city walls, the crisscrossing streets... everything was the same as Marvin remembered in his previous life.
The only difference is that there is no one here!
"Have all the gray dwarves moved away?"
This was unbelievable to Marvin.
" Let's go! Let's go into the city and take a look!"
Jessica was decisive.
Both of them have strong perceptions, Marvin has dark vision, and Jessica, through the power of Revelation, can open the Eye of Night and move freely in the dark world.
Because the whole city looked like a dead city when viewed from above, there seemed no need for the two to hide.
They jumped right off the platform!
Jessica turned into a meteor and rushed directly to the center of Bledsoe City.
In the sky, a low roar was heard, and Ma Wen, transformed into a crowned griffin, also began to soar and patrol.
"Separate and look!"
The two immediately reached an agreement and began to search for the changes in Bledsoe City.
…
The griffin spread its wings, stabilized the airflow, and began to lower its flying altitude.
He flew through the streets with his eyes as sharp as torches, but he could not see any living creature in his field of vision.
The buildings of the gray dwarves are very distinctive, low but majestic. They are experts in architecture and forging. If they were not too evil, Marvin would have been interested in inviting some gray dwarves to settle in the White River Valley.
However, the fighting power of these dwarfs should not be underestimated.
What kind of changes happened that made them abandon this city that they had run for hundreds of years?
Marvin had a vague idea of the answer in his mind.
"The butterfly effect... is it really that serious?"
"The Dragon God's Wrath has come early, and now even the Dark Winter has come early."
Ma Wen smiled bitterly in his heart.
[Dark Winter], this name not only represents an extremely harsh climate that appeared in the dark world before the catastrophe, but also a large-scale plot mission in the previous life of the Fenan Continent game!
But in his memory, [Dark Winter] happened after [Guarding Rocky Mountain]!
The invasion of the Hades had not yet begun, but problems arose at the Everfreeze Spring first, which caught Marvin somewhat off guard.
The experience and memories of my past life have gradually lost their effect. I can no longer rely on these memories.
He must have his own judgment.
At this moment, a staggering gray dwarf suddenly appeared in his sight!
The other person was holding a wine barrel that was as big as him and was drinking like crazy!
"Anyone?"
Marvin was delighted and cancelled his transformation spell, appearing on the street in an instant.
The gray dwarf was chugging his wine and didn't notice Marvin approaching at all.
Gurgle gurgle!
He poured a large amount of alcohol into his stomach.
His eyes were blurry and he could hardly stand.
Marvin frowned slightly, and immediately launched his [Field·Killing]!
He did not use the advanced virtual godhood to activate this domain, but simply used the legendary power to open his own domain.
That's enough.
Under the cover of the terrifying killing field, the gray dwarf, who was almost drunk, suddenly shuddered and almost fell to the ground!
"Answer me a few questions."
Marvin stared at him coldly.
