Three thousand meters away from the camp, there was a slightly sunken depression on the surface of the earth. The soil was dark and shiny but still barren, but the soil suddenly became loose.
Silently, cracks appeared in the flat and compact soil. In a moment, dozens of four-finger-wide irregular cracks appeared on a river bed that had dried up after a long drought.
Several pitch-black but paper-thin arms poked out of the soil, and then four pitch-black humanoid creatures emerged from inside.
The breeze that had been blowing across the entire plain before had completely stopped, and the four humanoid creatures slowly moved forward after crawling out of the soil, heading towards the direction of the bonfire in Raymond's camp.
They were bare-handed, and their bodies were so thin that they could be blown away by the breeze. However, every step they took took a huge span, and it seemed that their entire bodies were very heavy. Every time they landed, they would leave an inch-deep mark on the hard ground. There were footprints, and they didn't make any sound as they walked, not even the sound of breathing.
At the same time, Raymond, who was sitting by the bonfire, had the compass-shaped magic weapon in his palm. The surface of the semicircular water film formed above it changed color strangely because the water vapor inside was boiling, and it changed with the length of the three sticks. After the different pointers suddenly pointed in the same direction at the same time, four black spots appeared on the water film!
With his eyes narrowed, Raymond quickly judged that the direction of the black spot was the camp. He immediately released his senses again, but based on the position of the black spot on the water film, he still found nothing. .
Such strangeness made Raymond a little puzzled. After thinking about it, he released a 'Eye of True' spell and set the position in the mid-air of the area where the four creatures were about to enter.
On this dark and silent plain. With the generation of weak magical energy, a somewhat blurry closed eyelid appeared in mid-air. As the eyelid quickly became solid and solid, it opened, and the light red eyelid appeared in mid-air. The pupils appeared in mid-air.
After a moment, the four blurry figures who came within the sight of this pupil couldn't help but stop and raise their heads as if to check.
But the pupil of reality hanging in mid-air was turning slowly and blankly. The four blurry figures at the edge of its field of vision could not be noticed by the pupil. It was just that these four blurry figures were on the surface of the earth. The deep footprints left behind can be seen by Raymond beside the campfire.
The leader in the blurry figure seemed to be interested in the Eye of Truth in the mid-air. He waved his arm as thin as paper and led the other three to the place directly below the Eye of Truth. He raised his neck and tilted his head as if he felt strange. He stared at it for a long time before starting to move towards the bonfire again.
But Lei Meng, who was far away by the campfire, could clearly see four rows of deep footprints coming from far to near under the Eye of Reality. He paused for a moment before continuing to move forward, but he couldn't see them at all. If you notice the existence of any figure, you can only watch the footsteps appear continuously until they disappear from the direction of his magic field of vision!
The extremely shocked Raymond stopped observing through the Eye of Reality, thinking for a moment but still couldn't figure out the reason. "The Eye of Reality can completely see the existence of energy bodies, even ghost-like inorganic life forms should be able to see it. Fuzzy shadows...but what on earth are these four things that can leave such deep footprints on the surface..."
What the compass detects is definitely a living creature, but this completely unfamiliar life form cannot be observed through the Eye of Truth, so it definitely cannot be a ghost.
Thinking like this, Raymond reconnected with the vision of the Eye of Truth, and after narrowing the distance of vision, he carefully observed the footprints left by them.
The footprints were as if they had been struck by a heavy object, one inch deep into the ground. The edges of the footprints were smooth and flat, as if they had been struck by a knife or an axe. Moreover, the footprints could not be seen at the bottom. By the time there was any loose soil, a full inch of soil had been pressed down.
After examining dozens of such footprints, Raymond found that these footprints did not provide any useful information for him to identify. They only allowed him to understand that the guy who made these footprints weighed a lot.
The size, shape, and even the depth of the footprints formed by the four creatures are exactly the same. They are as perfect as if they were made with molds, without any flaws.
At this time, Raymond finally felt a little uneasy. After canceling the spell True Eyes, he condensed his senses into lines and started to explore the source along these footprints. Soon he found the depression like a dry river bed. .
The cracks were only four fingers wide, and even the soles of the feet that produced the footprints could not pass through smoothly. However, these footprints clearly appeared for the first time from this depression, and after he went ten meters deep into the ground, he It was found that everything underground seemed normal, and there was no energy left at all near the depression.
The widest part of all the gaps was only four fingers wide. It was obvious that the creatures emerging from the ground were completely unfamiliar to him.
But when Raymond regained his senses and quickly caught up with the area where these footprints were produced, he saw eight footprints appearing continuously on the surface, but he still could not see the bodies of these four creatures.
"It takes half an hour to arrive. The speed is not very fast. It seems that this must be some special creature living on this plain..."
Although he understood the weirdness of this creature, Raymond, who had come into close contact with ghost-like life forms in the Mirror Realm, did not feel scared. Instead, he felt a little excited and excited about this special life form in the abyss plane. Curious, but considering his injuries and being unfamiliar with the abyss, he decided to wake up Scar and Dark Elf Freya first out of caution.
He first wiped the compass in his hand clean and then put it away into the storage ring. Following his perception, he suddenly rushed into the two tents not far away, accompanied by Scar's horrified exclamation and the somewhat embarrassed tone of Dark Elf Freya. Screaming, Raymond roared in a deep voice. "Everyone, come out!"
There was a soft crash, and the curtains of the two tents were opened almost at the same time. In a flash, the dark elf Freya appeared beside the campfire, with an angry look on her face but doubts in her eyes.
Scar, who was a little flustered, stumbled over the leather armor left at the door when he rushed out of the tent. He staggered and wanted to get angry. However, after he saw what was under his feet, he smiled happily and didn't care about the leather armor. He stomped it a few times, picked it up, and quickly put it on his body before running over with a smile.
"After the wind stopped, four very tall creatures were slowly approaching the camp. They were able to leave clear footprints on the surface, but their physical presence could not be seen..."
After giving a general introduction to the four strange creatures that came to the camp, Raymond asked directly. "Does any of you know what they are?"
The dark elf Freya, who had been frowning, had confusion and thinking in her eyes, while Scar, who was squatting in front of the campfire, thought for a moment after hearing this, then looked frightened, and his vision lost focus.
And his body seemed to be trembling.
Seeing this, Raymond understood what he knew and did not rush to urge him. However, after waiting for a while, he still looked lost and could not help but raise his voice and ask again.
But the scar in his eyes was getting bigger and bigger, and his face was covered with cold sweat, as if he was trapped in extremely frightened memories, as if he didn't hear Raymond's shouts at all, and he moved his legs unconsciously.
He was walking backwards, as if the bonfire in front of him made him want to run away!
The dark elf Freya, who noticed Scar's weirdness, immediately stood up and appeared behind Scar in a flash, pressing her toes against his back to prevent him from moving any further.
But the sudden touch from the dark elf Freya made Scar suddenly scream and jump up. "Black paper man! Black paper man! It must be black paper man!"
