Looking at the suspicious dents on the cliff, Becky stared at them for quite a long time without speaking.
"Those rock monsters probably split from the cliff," Y'zaks frowned, feeling some of the mysterious forces around him, "There is a very weak force ing from the depths of the earth, the mountain is the vent of this power."
"There were four of them on the east side of the mountain, but there must be more rock monsters out there. We don't know where the rest of them are now." Vivian's tone was tense, and the fact that the cliff caved and a whole bunch of rock monsters could possibly rush out of the mountains reminded her of the Mythological Era on Earth. She was sure this was going to be a disaster— because she had witnessed many similar catastrophes before. "Becky, who should we report to?"
They could not solve the situation in front of them by themselves so, the first task was to inform the "relevant department" in this world, but Vivian did not know who could deal with such a thing.
"The Disciples of Glory... or the Knights of the Kingdom." Becky had been in a daze since the beginning and now, she finally woke up from it. With cold sweat on her forehead, she spoke hastily, "Let's go back now! We need to inform the Knights of Leyton Town!"
No one dared to delay and they quickly ran down the hill. Hao Ren found that Becky was in a panic from head to toe and he realized that this kind of incident was unprecedented in The Plane of Dreams. He asked, "You've never heard of rock monsters being on Dragonspine Ridge?"
"No!" Becky said loudly to stay calm. "Never has any kind of big monster appeared in the mountains, let alone rock monsters! This must be related to the disappearance of the Orb, I'm afraid the goddess will..."
Becky was afraid to continue. As a native, the tale of the destruction of their world by the goddess, and the atonement of humankind were deeply rooted in her mind. Not to mention, the job of a mercenary was precarious. Therefore, she was quite superstitious. In her mind, there was a secret and ancient connection between the Beinz Blood Lake, Dragonspine Ridge, and the Orb of the Holy Synod. These connections made her even more tempted to associate the situation with a bad course of events.
"Don't worry too much," Hao Ren forted Becky. "Even if the sky is falling, we have Y'zaks here. The Church and those important individuals within the Knights will find a way."
Becky looked at Hao Ren gratefully and said, "Although I don't know where your weird words e from, they sound quite reasonable. Thank you."
Y'zaks, the tallest one in the team, could not help but draw back his neck. Even he felt that Hao Ren was truly not very good at forting people.
Going down the mountain was much faster than going up the mountain, and with them rushing at full speed, they finally left the mountain range before sunset. They set foot on an old, wide path, which led them straight to Leyton Town.
In the fading daylight, Hao Ren saw a lavender glow, rising from the earth in the far distance. He did not know what it was.
"It looks like a town-level defensive barrier." Becky saw the lavender glow. It was uncertain if she looked relieved or worried. "The town's activated the defense, I'm afraid the rock monsters have…"
Hao Ren mounted the horse and said, "Don't say anymore, let's go!"
Everybody mounted their horses and rushed away. The urgent situation pelled the foolish Lily to make more errors. She could not mount the horse after trying many times. In the end, she could only give up and barked loudly. She carried her horse and rushed all the way to catch up with them. So basically it looked like this: Hao Ren, Vivian, and Becky were riding horses and rushing in front of the team, the fierce-looking Y'zaks was running wildly behind them, while Lily was carrying the horse and running madly at the back of the team, with sand and stones flying around her. It was chaos. If not for the wrong timing, Hao Ren would have to stopped and recorded Lily. What was the use of this horse?! They might as well have let her run with Y'zaks from the beginning!
After rushing all the way, Leyton, the small town at the foot of the mountain finally appeared in front of them.
This town was slightly smaller than Lamberg, built according to the shape of the mountain. It was located in the middle of a canyon terrain, and this valley was the key road to the Gnarled Grove. It was obvious that the town was built specifically to guard this thoroughfare. Large tracts of lavender light curtains hung from the sky like a waterfall, which sealed both ends of the valley.
On the open ground in front of the valley, there were traces of battle.
The originally flat, triangular rocky beach was still littered with blast pits. Green smoke was still ing out from the pits. Broken swords and fragments of various equipment were scattered everywhere. There were a lot of cracked, dark brown stones scattered on the ground within hundreds of metres of the town entrance, some of which were still slightly trembling. They were probably the remains of the rock monsters.
Large-scale bat spells seemed to have been used at the site. Strange magical energies still remained in the air. Plenty of glimmering, tiny air masses or energy sparks were floating about half a metre above the ground. They were momentary magical life. Although the Disciples of Glory believed that these magical remnants were just ordinary energy reactions, far from being "life
