步步惊心丽百度云

It was after we were transported to the middle realm that we opened our eyes to what we thought was a mountain, seeing as we found ourselves in a bright place with a great wall of stone next to us.

However looking around again changed our perspective, instead of the mountain that we thought it was, we instead found that it was actually a great chasm. The light that we thought was the sun, flashes of battle that were happening above us.

We found ourselves in a difficult position, we couldn\'t go down only up but up led to the battlefield where neither Aoif or I were likely to survive.

Even if we tried to go down there would be nothing for us to find there. Again the only way forward was up.

*BOOOM*

The sounds of battle kept echoing down into the chamber as we thought of our options.

"We are going to have to climb" I said to Aoif, to which she nodded, it was the obvious answer but it was good to confirm it with her.

"How, though?" Aoif said, asking the unsaid question.

"I think I have an idea," I said cryptically, still trying to think of a way out.

…

It was rather simple now that I was really thinking of it. The only problem that came about was how to secure our weapons so that we could climb with both hands.

Luckily a solution presented itself in the forms of naturally occurring vines that grew in the chasm that we were in.

I went to chop some down with Aoif following behind me to help.

I tugged at the vines trying to secure them to my spear and myself. It worked out surprisingly well.

The only thing was that they couldn\'t carry my nor Aoif\'s weight, which was a problem because I wanted to give us some extra security when climbing.

It was then that an idea popped into mind, I could evolve them and so that was what I did.

…

\'Evolve\' I commanded, targeting the vines that we had gathered.

Soon enough the menu popped up and looking at the options I picked the one that would give them the most carrying weight.

After finding the option that did that I confirmed the evolution.

With a flash of green light the vines disappeared and a tiny screen appeared in the corner of my eyes.

The vines that had disappeared seemed to be growing, seasons passed and the vines still endured.

When winter came the vines looked like they had compressed the once thick vines being compressed into less than a cables width.

It kept doing that, countless seasons passing the vines becoming stronger and stronger before they underwent a great transformation.

The once green vines were now colored vibrant blue and lengthened another 5 feet. They seemed to have grown some sentience too as they slithered out of the way of things.

…

Another flash of light and the vines were back in front of us.

No status screen popped up in front of me as the vines were not yet considered a sentient species, however I could feel the subservience they had for me even with the tiny shard of sentience that they had grown.

Now that we had something strong enough to hold us I tied our weapons around our bodies.

Aoif\'s dagger on her hip while my spear was tied perpendicular to me on my lower back.

After that was done an additional strand was used to connect us together to make sure that if one fell the other could hold them while the regained their grip.

"I\'ll take the front, \'\' Aoif insisted, pulling me towards her with the vine that attached us together.

I had no complaints so I just followed, watching as Aoif instead of finding a hold to pull herself up, created a hole in the stone to make a grip and continued to do that as she climbed.

I followed once Aoif was far enough up that we wouldn\'t be in each other\'s way.

…

The climbing went well. It was what came after that went to hell. When we got up I was pulled by Aoif back down the chasm where she made a little alcove where we could sit.

"Too many" no more words were needed, I understood.

When Aoif was up there she must have seen too many enemies for us to fight or even flee. That made Aoif\'s actions make more sense.

Using my skill I look at what Aoif had seen and what greeted me must have been hell.

All around the chasm was blood red sand. The sand wasn\'t inherently red as I could see grains of sand that were still yellow. That meant that so much blood had been shed in this area that the very ground had been stained red.

Looking further I could see mountains of bodies that were being eaten by vultures. Battles off in the distance echoed loudly in her ears.

Thousands were being slaughtered in my very vision. Elves and Gauls that was what I had seen.

Back in the alcove with Aoif, I retract my skill and look at Aoif.

"How are we going to move forward?" I ask.

"I don\'t know," Aoif grimly said, grinding her teeth in frustration.

There were not many options for us. The amount of carnage out there would not allow us to move. I could feel that the average level of our opponents would be around tier 7. Even if it was two tiers below us it would still be a hard challenge to even flee from them given their numbers.

Sure we could take on maybe a hundred or two of them on our own and combined we may even be able to take a thousand but there were not just that amount but hundreds of thousands of them.

The only thing I could think of was to flee however even that was not allowed seeing as stray shots from beings that we could not take on were flying around us everywhere.

"Lets wait maybe the carnage will slow down at night fall"
