The moment Angel flew down from the gondola, he suddenly paused and looked back at the gray wasteland in confusion.
The heavy rain still hasn't stopped, and the edges in the distance are covered with gray fog, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Angel?" Popota had already jumped to the top of a dilapidated stone house and looked back at Angel.
Angel frowned and followed Popota again.
At the same time, deep in the rain and fog, in the endless wilderness, stood a lonely, dry tree that had been dead for an unknown period of time.
There was a black crow sitting on the tree, its dead eyes looking towards the distant city from the crow's pupils.
"Kurangduo, do you see anything?" A vicissitudes of time and ancient voice came over.
The crow's wings flapped a few times, and the solid body gradually turned into a shadow. Finally, a figure wearing a black cloak and a crow mask was revealed.
"He seems to have discovered me." A cold, ghostly voice, as if it sounded from the abyss of death, came from under the crow mask.
"This is a very special human being...it makes sense that he has some miraculous powers."
Kulando also seemed to recall the scene he saw not long ago. The true spirit of a great demon god was struck and fell. Such a terrifying power may only be justified by a "miracle".
"I originally thought that I would take you to your destination of death soon, but now it seems that you are in good luck, Your Highness Wardle."
"Hahaha, I haven't heard this name for a long time. Probably, you are the only one who still remembers my name." The old voice sighed in a low voice: "Although Yuantan Continent has found salvation from the overthrow, can it be re-entered?"
On the right track, this is still not something I can decide."
"So, you called him from afar." Kulando said calmly.
"The favored one by miracles may be able to open this box of miracles."
Kulang was silent for a while, and did not continue to talk about this topic. Instead, he changed the topic: "This place has been noticed by others, including lords and demon gods... I hope that the next time we meet, it won't be so soon."
"The guide of death, Kulangduo. I can understand that you are worried about me?"
Kulangduo did not respond, but said lightly: "I really left this time so that I can take care of myself."
After that, Kulangduo turned into a black crow and flew into the heavy rain in the distance.
After Kulangduo left for a long time, a shadow wearing a primitive totem mask suddenly appeared next to the withered tree. The shadow stood beside the withered tree, letting the rain fall continuously.
The lonely tree and lonely figure look like a gray-toned painting in the rain.
After an unknown amount of time, the shadow glanced in the direction of the wasteland city and finally disappeared.
…
Angel soon arrived at the place where Grewu called.
Greve stood on a round, wide-roofed roof. There were two corpses in front of it. Unlike the skeletons he encountered before, these two corpses had not begun to decay and still had human appearance.
It was as if he had just died.
"This body was seen in a ditch. I brought him here." Grewu pointed to the man wearing golden armor on the left.
"As for the other one, he was originally on this roof."
These two corpses are undoubtedly human beings, and there are still faint residual energy fluctuations on their bodies. They indeed look like they died not long ago.
"The cause of death was that the internal organs were severely damaged and fragmented. Because of the protection of residual energy, there was no extensive decay. However, it should have been more than a month since death. At the same time, no soul fluctuations were found." Popota flipped the golden armor.
After a while, a knight's sword and a disposable space soft bag were pulled out from his body.
"The space soft bag is full of food and water, as well as a few bottles of plaster for recovering injuries." Popota waved his knight sword, and a fierce sound was heard in the air: "The weapon is quite sharp, it should be able to
Sell dozens of magic crystals."
"It should have been refined by an alchemist apprentice. The impurities have been removed well and the strength is acceptable, but it has not yet reached the advanced level." As an alchemist, Angel could directly see the essence of the knight's sword without even using the Eye of Narda.
"His armor was probably made by a mortal blacksmith. It only has a certain resistance to slight physical attacks." Angel also told the details of the armor. In fact, if he wanted to dig deeper, Angel could learn from some
It was deduced from the details that this armor was probably a standard armor, and some dark patterns indicated that this person was probably a knight supported by a noble, or a knight from the royal family. However, there was nothing interesting about this information, so he saved his words.
"Can you find proof of identity?" Angel asked.
Bobota nodded, crushed the disposable space capsule, and took out a green leaf with clear veins from a large pile of drinking water.
"He's from the Gravity Forest." Seeing Angel's confusion, Bobota explained: "This green leaf is the identity certificate of the Gravity Forest, just like the bone card in our Savage Cave. There should be information about this person in it, but
The green leaves are locked with special energy and cannot be opened by force."
"Are you from the Gravity Forest..." Angel slowly looked at the food and water on the ground, "It's normal for an apprentice who hasn't learned the food trick to bring food. But he actually also brought water, which means that he probably won't even
I haven’t learned any low-level water magic tricks yet.”
The first trick that Angel mastered was the Cleaning Technique. The Cleaning Technique slightly changed the elemental structure and became the Water Delivery Technique. Therefore, Angel never carried water with him on any of his journeys.
"It seems that he is a junior or intermediate apprentice." Angel knew that many wizard apprentices had gone to the surface of the abyss to experience. Back then, Nausicaa had teamed up with Sarum to go to the abyss, and even David had hired
Hercules went to the abyss to hunt the armored demon hedgehog, just to merge into his bloodline.
"Your guess should be correct, and this should be an auxiliary space on the first level of the abyss, otherwise these apprentices would not be here." The same should be true for Bobota.
After roughly determining the state of death and identity and strength, why did he die? Another question? His internal organs were severely damaged, but his armor seemed to be intact. Maybe it was some kind of energy attack targeting the body? So, there is an energy attack here.
Energy attacking creature?
After getting no more information from the golden armored knight, they turned their attention to another corpse.
This is a man wearing purple wizard robes.
When Bobota lifted his hood, a young face was revealed.
"It looks like he is less than thirty years old." Popota muttered, and began to lift up the wizard's robe for further inspection.
But at this moment, Angel suddenly said: "I seem to have seen him before."
Popota turned around sharply.
Angel frowned, some pictures popped into his mind
In the dark underground cave, there was a young apprentice who looked a little thin, wearing purple and old wizard robes. His expression was very distorted, his hands covered his ears, he kept shaking his head and shouting hysterically.
If you look closely, you will see that the young man who screamed hoarsely looks exactly like the one lying on the ground. Even he is wearing the same wizard robe.
Angel recalled for a moment and said, "His name is Gu Xia, and he comes from the Forest of Night Whisperers."
Not long after Angel entered the abyss, the human stronghold city Ash Earth Rock was destroyed. Under the guidance of Snaffa, they moved away all the way, and their final destination was the cross-layer in the grayscale overlay area.
Door.
On this stretch of road, a strange thing happened.
While borrowing the ancient ruins of Daohan, a wizard apprentice suddenly suffered from hysteria. He said that someone kept whispering in his ear, which made him upset, and he even screamed hysterically.
Even Sinaifa paid attention to his condition and ordered people to guard him.
Angel was also a little curious at the time and kept watching the wizard apprentice silently. But later, when Angel blinked, the wizard apprentice disappeared.
Afterwards, Sina said that there was no need to look for this apprentice, as he would not be able to get him back.
After Angel finished telling this story, he silently looked at the young apprentice who had lost his breath of life on the ground: "The apprentice who disappeared is him... Gu Xia."
After Angel finished speaking, Popota looked at Gusiya, and then at the dark world around him.
"You mean that Gu Xia disappeared in the Hangu ruins? Then how could he appear here?" Bobota paused and said to himself: "Could it be that there is an annex in the Hangu ruins?
The passage of the world, Gu Xia accidentally touched the passage and came here?"
At this time, Grewu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
"The words of the shopkeeper reminded me of something Butler Tanding told me before, about the Cold Ancient Period." Grewu: "Butler Tanding told me that the Cold Ancient Period happened one hundred thousand years ago.
, it was an era when the aboriginal people were prosperous. It is said that many strong aboriginal people emerged from the abyss, and some strong people even occupied certain worlds in the inner layers of the abyss."
"But later, the strength of the aborigines became weaker and weaker, and the Cold Ancient Period became a thing of the past. Moreover, because many demons were squeezed out of the living space by the aborigines before, after the aborigines became weak, they took revenge, resulting in
A large number of indigenous people died. After a period of time, there were almost no indigenous people visible on the Barren Side."
"However, the indigenous people were not wiped out. It is said that those remnants of the Cold Ancient Period went to a sealed continent."
"But later, something seemed to go wrong on that continent, and aboriginal people migrated out, and then they continue to live on the surface to this day."
"And that sealed continent became what the aboriginals call... the ancient ruins of the Han Dynasty."
Grewu said this and looked at Angel: "So, I think this may be the sealed continent. In other words, this is the real Hangu ruins."
