Chapter 132

After camping in Crescent Lake, Ryan waited for a day, but did not wait for the three pack carts he had seen before.

Night falls.

When the last ray of sunlight fell on the horizon, Ryan also withdrew his attention. After dark, it is basically impossible for anyone to rush in the wilderness of the Gobi. Even if that person is a great magician, it is impossible to be vigilant all night. state.

The Gobi wilderness is not only a forbidden place for ordinary people, but also a forbidden place for extraordinary people.

The road leading to the grassland is on the edge of the wild. Although extraordinary people can make a foray, it is only during the daytime.

At night, it is the world of poisonous insects and beasts!
After Matthew left, Ryan could only make dinner by himself. Fortunately, the barbecue was not difficult. Although what he cooked was not as delicious as Matthew's, it was still enough to fill his stomach.

The night wind was howling, and Ryan sat alone by the edge of the tent, drinking a glass of wine from time to time.

"Only the great magician who leads the tomb knows the exact location and opening method of the tomb. Nao Lei and Joel only know that it is near Crescent Lake. I have to explore and familiarize myself with the surrounding environment before they arrive." Ryan thought silently in his heart.

After drinking the last glass of wine, he stood up and returned to the tent, and changed into a black night suit.

It is said to be night clothes, but it is actually a black robe.

The weather tonight is not very good, the bright moon is shrouded in dark clouds, so the black robe is enough to hide his figure from a certain distance.

As the largest oasis settlement in the vicinity, Crescent Lake's influence is far greater than that of all oases Ryan has visited before. Even the few hills hundreds of meters away from the lake are covered with dense green vegetation.

Walking along the stream flowing out of the lake, Ryan gradually left the firelight of the settlement and entered the dark wilderness of the Gobi.

"Wow~~"

Beside the dark stream, Ryan could see several pythons with the thickness of arms swimming in the stream with his eyes alone, and in the hills not far away, sometimes there were shadows of wild beasts running by.

"Hey!" By the stream less than five meters away from Ryan, a dark black krait with an almost triangular head jumped and bit Ryan.

call out!Ryan waved his right hand, and the dark chain hidden in his arm jumped out instantly.

The dark black krait bounced back at a faster speed, splashed blood, and fell to the ground without moving.

"Silk~~Silk~~"

The other poisonous snakes stared at Ryan and stuck out their tongues for a moment, and immediately swam away one by one.Although beasts can't speak and have no intelligence, their spirituality far exceeds that of humans at certain times, killing the weak, avoiding the strong, or submitting to the strong!Such reactions are almost engraved in their minds.

Although simple, it is effective in making them live longer.

The moment Ryan shot, they knew they couldn't offend that figure, but Ryan was a human being, they didn't understand and were unlikely to surrender, so they could only choose to avoid it.

"The Gobi wilderness can be said to be the den of poisonous snakes and beasts. In less than half an hour, I was attacked five times." Ryan shook his head and sighed.

Fortunately, these snakes, insects and ferocious beasts near the settlement are not strong, not even monsters.

Warcraft have their own territory, and they don't need to compete with humans for the oasis. Only wild beasts will pitifully squat around the oasis to drink some water.

After Ryan explored around Crescent Lake, he found nothing special, so he had to go back to the camp.

after one day.

Ryan was sitting in a cave not far from Crescent Lake. In front of the cave were some beast corpses and bushes.

Through the bushes, Ryan can see a large area in the north of the oasis at a glance. If someone is close to the oasis settlement, he will be able to spot it immediately.

Skillfully taking out the wine and barbecue from the warehouse, Ryan looked at the oasis while eating the meat.

at this time.

"Huh?" Ryan's eyes lit up, and he looked at the three tiny ants-like shadows in the distance below: "It's finally here!"

In the north of the oasis, three pack carts that were familiar to him slowly drove into Crescent Lake.

The place where the pack cart camped was not far from the mountain where Ryan stayed. It seemed that they didn't want to get too close to the crowd, so they chose a deserted location to camp.

"Haha, finally arrived at Crescent Moon Lake!"

"It's too dangerous to travel in this wild Gobi. If it weren't for Lord Eddis, the devil bear from yesterday would have killed me!"

The three middle-aged men in brown robes let out a long sigh of relief, chatting with each other with smiles, all of them seemed very excited.

Edith, the leader, shook his head and said solemnly: "Everyone has been tired these days! But there is no way. Ole and the others went to kill Lane Dylan, but they didn't come back. I'm afraid something happened. We have to No defense."

The middle-aged man in the brown robe next to him said with a smile: "Although we have encountered some troubles these days, we are traveling very fast. Even if Ryan Dylan got the news and wanted to rush back to inform the Church of the Dawn, he would pass the news. It will take time, and it will take even more time to come from Layton, as long as we are fast enough, they will definitely be too late."

Eddie nodded.

Originally, they were going to disguise themselves as a caravan and drive carefully. If Aurei and Joel returned to the team alive, they would not speed up, but both Aole and Joel lost news. They were worried, so they naturally chose to speed up. Crescent Lake.

It's a pity that they didn't expect Ryan to be faster than them. Although he made a slight detour when leaving the second oasis, Ryan was not burdened and was able to travel at the fastest speed.

On the contrary, Eddis and his party brought a lot of servants in order to pretend to be a caravan. Even if they hurried on their way, their speed was slightly slower than Ryan.

"The sun is about to go down. When the sun goes down, we will enter the Gobi."

"Yes."

Several other people also agreed.

Half an hour later, the sun had completely set, and the four people in brown robes began to explore outside the oasis.Most of the area outside the oasis is the territory of monsters. The great magician "Edis" is in charge of clearing the way, and the other three assist each other, and the four of them grope towards the south of Crescent Lake.

While keeping a certain distance, the four spread out and walked side by side, following Eddis forward, carefully paying attention to all directions.

Ryan, who was hundreds of meters away from Eddis and others, followed quietly all the way, every step was silent. In order not to alarm Eddis, he did not use a trace of magic power, and even his breathing weakened.

Ryan at this time is completely different from before.

Not only did he put on a black robe, but he also tied up his long hair, put on the drama mask he brought from Layton, and controlled the swelling of his body muscles, making him appear much stronger.

"Don't they know the exact location?" Ryan frowned and hung far behind the few people. The four people didn't seem to have a clear goal, and it was more like a carpet search, which made him a little confused.

Just then, a voice came from a distance.

"Mr. Green, the news we got is that the magister lived in seclusion in Crescent Lake, but maybe he left Crescent Lake before he died?"

The person who spoke did not deliberately control the volume. Although the distance was a bit far away, Ryan's physical fitness was already approaching that of a third-level fighter, and he could hear clearly even if the distance was hundreds of meters away.

The magician called "Green" shook his head and said: "The magister, after all, was a strong man more than 800 years ago. The news we have now is that he has been staying near the Crescent Lake since he broke through the magister. Qianxiu, no one knows if he left before he died."

"However, if a magister who has never been alive appears outside, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble, but after his breakthrough, there has never been any news."

Another person said: "Green is right. After all, this is a magister's hermitage. It must not be so easy to find. Look for it more carefully!"

While communicating, the speed of the few people was also much faster. They never expected that someone would follow them. After all, they found that Ao Lei and the two had not kept up, so they immediately accelerated to Crescent Lake. In their opinion, Ryan Even if Dylan knew the news and wanted to notify the powerhouse of the Holy Light to come, it was too late.

"Huh? The magister's hermitage?" Ryan was a little confused. This seemed to be inconsistent with Ole's confession, but judging from what they said, the magister should be dead, and he barely explained it as a tomb.

Ryan in disguise followed the four of them all the way.

"There's no trace at all!" Green and the others kept searching, spending more than three hours, and almost searched the surrounding area.

"Your Excellency Eddis, I have no clue here."

"We didn't find either."

"I've searched all around, Sir Eddis, what shall we do now?"

Edith was silent for a while, then suddenly turned to look in the direction of Crescent Lake.

"The bottom of the lake, I haven't found it yet!"

"Yes, we've searched all around here, but the bottom of the lake is missing. The nearest oasis is hundreds of kilometers away, so it's unlikely to be that far away." Green nodded in agreement with Eddie's words. .

Ryan moved his ears. He is now in the middle of Eddis and Crescent Lake. If Eddis turns around now, even in the dark, he is very likely to find him.

Thinking of this, Ryan grabbed a stone and threw it to the left.

"Silk~~Silk~~"

The python hidden tens of meters away let out a painful cry, which instantly attracted the attention of Eddie and the others.

Taking advantage of this time, Ryan quickly moved tens of meters to the right without making a sound. The dark clouds covered the sky, and the visibility of the Gobi in the dark night was extremely low, making the best cover for Ryan to hide his figure.

"It turned out to be just a poisonous snake."

"I thought it was Ryan Dylan catching up." Someone joked.

"It's important, don't waste time." Edith scolded in a low voice.

"Yes, my lord!"

After a while, several people returned to the lakeside of Crescent Moon Lake. It was already late at night, and except for those who were on duty, all the people in the other camps were asleep.

thump!thump!
There were four successive sounds of entering the water from the edge of the lake, which did not attract anyone's attention.

Ryan, who was hanging tens of meters away, showed a smile on his face: "It seems that they have all entered the bottom of the lake."

Seeing that the lake was no longer turbulent, he took a deep leap into the Crescent Lake. When he entered the water, the lake water seemed to have life, turning into a water curtain and wrapping around his body.

Among the water magic, there is a primary magic called Water Curtain, which can condense a water curtain in front of the caster. Although the defense is not strong, it has the effect of isolating poisonous gas and other damage, and it will not affect breathing.

The upgraded high-level magic of Water Curtain—Water Escape is enhanced on the original basis, and can condense a spell that wraps the whole body of the caster, producing a magic similar to the "avoidance" that Ryan read in the novels in his previous life. "drops" effect.

This time he entered the water, he used this "water escape technique".

"It's a good thing I left the mirror image in Layton, otherwise I, who don't know the water shield technique, will lose my combat power if I enter the water!" Ryan thought silently.

Deep in the bottom of the lake, it was pitch black, with only a few faint spots of light floating, which were the four magicians from the Gancheng Magic Association.

"The depth of this Crescent Lake is terrifying! Along the way, I have dived at least nearly 200 meters, but I haven't reached the end yet!" Ryan secretly frightened.

At such a depth, even in the daytime, light cannot reach the bottom of the lake at all, let alone it is late at night, and there is no visibility at all.

The two chains work together, and one wraps around Ryan, protecting him like a shield.The other chain was stuck in the rock wall beside him, dragging him to continue diving to the bottom of the lake.

In order not to be exposed, he didn't even use any lighting means, but just stared at the few light spots not far below that slowly sank.

As the depth gradually increased and decreased, the speed of the magicians below became slower and slower. Obviously, such a depth put tremendous pressure on them.

They don't have Ryan's physical fitness, and the depth of more than 200 meters underwater, even if there is defensive magic to resist water pressure, this depth is extremely terrifying.The lighting spell can only illuminate a distance of less than two meters in front of them, and they can't step on anything under their feet. If they stay in this extremely depressing and dark environment for a long time, it is enough to drive people crazy.

"Huh? Stopped?" Ryan frowned slightly, and the chains were firmly biting on the rock wall beside him, fixing his body.

The four light spots below stopped for some reason, which made him a little puzzled. Could it be that they have finally bottomed out?

At this moment, he was less than 30 meters away from the four light spots. If this distance was on land, he would definitely be found, but underwater, they didn't realize that they were being followed by Ryan at all.

At this depth, it is not easy for ordinary high-level magicians or warriors to dive down. Now Ryan understands why Matthew said that no one can definitively answer the secret of Crescent Lake.

Seeing the people below stop, Ryan did not act rashly, and silently floated above the people to observe, but the underwater line of sight was severely blocked, and he couldn't see what they were doing except for the faint light spots.

Just when Ryan was hesitating whether to continue diving, those light spots suddenly disappeared from his sight.

There was no disturbance.
