Chapter 245 Village, Clues

The map of the Wailing Ruins was downloaded in advance at the Secret Realm Management Center before entering.

Nearly half of the entire map is in a black unexplored state, and the explored areas are marked with "D~S" with different danger levels.

At the top of the map is a small bright red "restricted area" marked with the four words "Not Explorable" in eye-catching red letters.

The upper left corner of the map displays the words - total exploration degree: 59%, and current exploration degree: 0%.

Lu Yuan looked around and found that his current location was exactly at the entry point at the bottom of the map.

A large chunk of the map has been explored, and most of the unexplored black areas are located in the upper half of the map.

"Cleaning out the evil cultists in the secret realm, obtaining effective information about the secret realm, and collecting the corresponding secret realm specialty materials can all be converted into corresponding exploration degrees, but it will not be settled uniformly until you leave the secret realm."

Lu Yuan casually clicked on the exploration task bar of "Screaming Ruins" and took a look and found that all tasks can be roughly divided into these three categories.

"Let's find an unexplored black area first. Whether we should go deep into the red restricted area or not, we will consider it later."

Lu Yuan turned back and glanced at the entrance where he came from.

I saw that the entrance to the glowing gap began to fluctuate violently, as if something was trying to get in from the outside.

Expecting that the group of people from the Mysterious Team that he had just seen outside were about to come in, Lu Yuan was slightly afraid and did not want to meet these people, so he casually confirmed a direction and ran forward in large strides.

The area that has been explored is very peaceful, and no evil presence shown in the data has been seen.

The flat land is bare, without any vegetation, and occasionally the ruins of low buildings can be seen.

The style of these ruins is ancient and crude, reminding Lu Yuan of those old adobe houses that collapsed after being disrepaired in the countryside.

"There is a rumor circulating among Huang Xiong that the secret realm is a livable place created by the ancient evil god for believers.

Being able to create an independent small world space like this for people to live in, how powerful is the ancient evil god?"

As I walked far away, I thought to myself silently.

The deeper he goes into the secret realm, the more he feels his own insignificance.

He had only seen this kind of creation-like feat in novels before.

When a few imaginary words in the book turned into reality, they were truly presented in front of him.

The kind of awe and excitement for the unknown power that comes from the heart is difficult to describe in words.

Lu Yuan stopped in a relatively large ruins.

He dispersed the aerosol-like mental power and searched carefully among the ruins, but unfortunately found nothing.

Lu Yuan was not disappointed either, after all, this area had already been explored.

lv3 [Eye of Death Omen], activate!

Lu Yuan suddenly activated his skill, and his eyes turned into pure darkness with a ray of paleness in the middle. He raised his head and looked around.

This was a spur-of-the-moment attempt.

The feedback he received surprised Lu Yuan a little.

He clearly saw that the dead energy lingering in the air, seemingly floating randomly, was actually like water falling from high to low, all flowing in several general directions.

He compared the map of the secret realm and chose the direction closest to him and rushed there.

In the process of rushing there, Lu Yuan also activated the two skills level 3 [Crow Whisper] and level 8 [Death Wrapping].

The aerosol-like mental power radiates out quickly when the [Crow Whisper] skill is activated.

Not long after, I received intensive feedback.

Black dots appeared one after another from the field of vision and quickly gathered towards Luyuan.

As they got closer, Lu Yuan realized that the crow he summoned this time was somewhat unusual.

"dead?"

Lu Yuan casually picked up a crow, and was shocked to find that the crow summoned from the secret realm was completely rotten, without any flesh and blood, and only a few scattered feathers were attached to the body.

His whole body was wrapped in a thick air of death, and his eye sockets were hollow.

But it can still fly.

Although the consciousness fed back is particularly muddy, it can also provide Lu Yuan with a role in monitoring his surroundings.

He currently has 22 points of intelligence and the detection range of his mental power is less than 300 meters.

Having a crow as an eyeliner is much better than relying on yourself with a half-dead drone.

"Undead Crow"

Lu Yuan let go of the crow in his hand, and the strong death energy gathered from all around like a tide and wrapped around him.

Like a black flame that burns silently, or like a decaying cloak blown by the strong wind.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the battle with the powerful god of Crow God Cult, Karofis.

The death energy around him slowly began to gather behind his back, gradually forming two huge black wings whose general shape could barely be discerned.

"fly!"

Lu Yuan stamped his foot violently, making a big hole in the ground with a bang.

The whole person was like a sharp arrow piercing the air, and instantly jumped dozens of meters into the air.

Then it started to fall.

During the fall, he "flapping" his wings desperately.

But it only slowed down the falling momentum slightly, and the whole person continued to fall uncontrollably.

finally

"Boom!" He stepped heavily on the ground.

"My body is too dense and my weight is many times that of Karlofis.

The strength of the death energy is not enough, and the technique used to use the death energy is too rough."

Lu Yuan summarized the reasons for his "failure" and let out a sigh of relief, not feeling too frustrated.

This time he entered the Wailing Ruins with the intention of upgrading the [Calling the Dead (Extraordinary)] level and sharpening the [Calling the Dead] skill.

He continued to move forward, and continued to try the ability to fly with the help of death air. His posture was clumsy but he was having a great time.

Unknowingly, the deathly aura before his eyes became thicker.

Even without opening the [Eye of Omen of Death], with the naked eye you can still see large groups of black mist condensed with death energy shrouding the front.

"Uuuuuu——"

Faintly, there seemed to be the sound of wailing and crying wafting out of the black mist.

"Crack-"

Under Lu Yuan's control, several undead crows flapped their wings and fled into the black mist.

Lu Yuan gathered his death energy, and the lv1 [Clothes of Hades] quietly emerged on his body, condensing a thin translucent light film, and then slowly walked in step by step.

Map display.

He has now reached an unexplored area.

The information sent back by the undead crow was also vague, and it could only be vaguely identified from afar, which seemed to be an abandoned gathering point.

Like a small village?!

The aerosol-like mental power dispersed in the black mist, suppressed by the death energy, and the detection range was compressed to less than a hundred meters.

The drone carrying the resource package behind him made a rustling noise that sounded like the signal was being interfered with. Lu Yuan continued to go deeper with a calm expression.

"thorn-thorn-"

Suddenly, there was a series of strange sounds coming from the front.

The sound sounded like someone dragging something heavy and rough while walking and rubbing against the ground.

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed and he looked at the [Eye of Omen of Death].

In the black mist, he saw a dense human-shaped death aura walking towards him.

No.

Not a group.

"thorn-thorn-"

Similar sounds came from all directions, far or near, shadowy in the black mist.

The unknown, mystery, and fear follow one after another.

For a moment, Lu Yuan had a sense of déjà vu that he was playing a horror game.

but

"The protagonist of a horror game can only run away, but I can force it."
