While Snaffa was meditating, the others could only wait silently.
No one spoke, and except for the sound of the fire burning in the fire, the entire underground cave was completely silent.
Angel looked back at the people in the cave. Everyone's expressions were solemn, including the official wizards. Perhaps these powerful wizards belong to the top of the pyramid in the Southern Territory, but when they came to the abyss, they could only be ranked at the bottom.
In the middle and lower levels, there are many creatures stronger than them in the abyss.
At this moment, Angel truly felt the terror of the abyss.
The atmosphere of deathly silence was maintained for a long time, just for fear of disturbing Snaffa's meditation. However, at a certain moment, among the apprentices, one person suddenly screamed.
"Ahhh! Stop talking, get out of here, get out of here!"
It was a young apprentice who looked a little thin, wearing a purple and old wizard robe. His expression was a little distorted, his hands covered his ears, he kept shaking his head and shouting hysterically.
His shout was so harsh that it attracted the attention of everyone present.
Maher stepped forward angrily, grabbed his collar, and raised it in the air. He looked at him with a menacing look: "Shut up!"
The apprentice didn't seem to be quite sober at first. It wasn't until Maher lifted him up and held his breath with his collar that he suddenly came back to his senses. Then he looked at the scene in front of him, startled, and faced Maher.
The pressure unleashed on him alone made his whole body begin to tremble.
"Maher, let him go." A cold voice came from behind.
Maher turned around and realized that Snaffa was standing behind him at some point.
"Miss Snaffa, were you woken up by him?" Maher threw the apprentice away and asked with concern.
"It's okay. I was almost recovered when he called. After a little tidying up, we're ready to hit the road." After Snaffa finished speaking, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the apprentice who was thrown to the ground by Maher.
The apprentice's lingering fear has not subsided and he is still trembling. However, he is still covering his ears with both hands and repeating in his mouth: "Stop talking..."
Snaffa raised her eyebrows, as if thinking of something, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The young apprentice was trembling and unable to speak a word.
Maher frowned and turned to look at the other apprentices around him: "Does any of you know what happened to him?"
All the apprentices looked at each other in confusion. After a while, a middle-aged man wearing the same wizard robe as the young apprentice raised his hand tremblingly: "Sir, Gu Xia seems to be under too much pressure and is suffering from hysteria."
"Hysteria? How to explain it." Snaffa looked over.
Facing Sinaifa's inquiry, the middle-aged man stuttered a little and told what he had seen before.
This apprentice named Gusiya comes from the Forest of Night Whispers. He came to the Abyss because of someone's calculations and was forcibly placed in front-line tasks. He has always been very timid, and kept everything he encountered in his heart. After coming to the Abyss
He suffered from repeated battles. Perhaps the accumulated pressure was too great, so he had hallucinations.
"He asked me before and asked me if I heard anything. I didn't hear anything at the time, so I asked him what happened. He didn't say anything at first. After a while, he hesitated and said that someone had been
Whispering in his ear, calling him to go to a certain place... Later, he even said that he saw the person who called him waiting for him there."
After hearing this, Snaffa's eyes flashed with thought, and she looked at each other with Maher.
"I understand." Snaffa nodded and looked at the middle-aged man: "You... keep an eye on him and try not to let him out of sight."
Snaifa said these words very lightly, and the middle-aged man did not hear the underlying meaning. He just thought that Snaifa was worried that Gusiya's yelling would affect others, so he nodded: "I will keep an eye on him."
Sinaifa didn't say anything, but sighed inaudibly, then turned to everyone and said: "This is not far from the grayscale overlay area. Let's try our best to reach the destination within ten hours."
After Sinaifa finished speaking, everyone immediately started to take action, and following the Frost Moon Guards, they left the cave one by one from the passage.
Angel left relatively behind, his eyes always curiously placed on Gu Xia.
Most people thought that Gu Xia was talking nonsense, and Angel also thought that Gu Xia was under too much pressure, which resulted in a rebound effect.
However, Madeleine said at this time: "There was something wrong with the eyes of Snaifa and Maher just now. There may be something fishy in what Gusiya said."
Not only Madeleine, Angel also discovered that some official wizards were also looking at Gusiya with probing eyes. Obviously, they also discovered something strange.
Because of this, Angel followed Madeline's gaze and looked at Gucia curiously.
Gu Xia seemed to be in a calmer mood, and there was nothing unusual about him. Together with the other apprentices, he put out the bonfire, and then walked towards the corridor. Next to him was the middle-aged man from before, who was talking to him.
talk.
However, this calm did not last long.
When they walked out, Angel kept staring at Gu Xia, but in the blink of an eye, Gu Xia disappeared.
Angel's pupils shrank and he looked carefully, and indeed he did not see Gu Xia's shadow. The middle-aged man next to him hadn't noticed anything strange yet and was still talking.
Angel looked back at Madeleine, then at the other wizards, and found that they all had looks of surprise on their faces. Apparently, this apprentice named Gusiya suddenly disappeared, and even they didn't notice it.
"Sure enough, I asked why Snaffa just added, asking his companions to keep an eye on him. It seems that she had known that this would happen." Madeline thought for a moment, "Maybe, this is Hangu
What dangers exist in the ruins?”
From Madeline's mouth, Angel also learned that she was actually paying attention to Gusiya. Gusiya disappeared without any warning. There were neither space fluctuations nor energy ripples. She just disappeared out of thin air before her eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Madeleine even checked the place where Gucia disappeared, but did not find anything strange.
When everyone walked out of the dim corridor, the middle-aged man exclaimed, "Sir... Sir, Gu Xia is missing!"
Snaffa's response was just a faint nod and didn't say anything.
"Should I go back and look for it?" the middle-aged man stuttered.
"There's no need to look for it, you can't find it." A hint of coldness flashed through Sinaifa's eyes, and she shook her head.
Then he continued to ask where Gusiya had gone. Sinaifa just gave an ambiguous answer: "Perhaps as he said, he was summoned away by someone."
Listening to Snaffa's words, the others felt a chill in their backs. A big living person disappeared among them, but the reason was unknown. How could people not feel panic?
"Could this really be the crisis at Hangu Ruins?" Angel asked.
"More than that." A smooth male voice came from one side.
Angel turned around and saw Brufen appearing beside him, saying with a smile.
"You mean, there are other terrifying crises in the Hangu ruins?" Madeleine looked at Brufen.
Brufen nodded.
Madeleine: "Then what does this crisis refer to?"
Brufen gave it up at this time: "I can share this secret with you, but...do you mind giving me a ride?"
…
After a while, Angel's gondola was boarded with a Brufen who was as fat as a ball.
Angel's wariness towards Brufen has not subsided, and he originally planned to keep away from him. But Madeleine quietly sent a message: "Don't worry, Brufen won't dare to attack you as long as I am here."
Now that Madeleine had spoken, Angel naturally found it difficult to refuse.
As soon as Brufen boarded the gondola, he immediately began to study the gondola in various ways, mumbling words, as if he wanted to study it thoroughly.
"This starry sky gauze has a bit of charm... Hey, this is the special effect of Tidal Wave Shell. I'm so lucky... I actually used meteorite cores here..."
When Brufen saw the gondola in the giant stone forest, his eyes had already started to shine, and he wanted to go forward to study it immediately. However, due to his previous behavior and Madeleine's presence, he had no chance to board the boat.
Now that I have finally found an opportunity, how could I not research it thoroughly?
However, the path of enchantment alchemy is different from that of Brufen. He wanted to copy a gondola, but it was at best similar to it. In the end, he could only shake his head with regret.
"You've finished reading what you need to see, now let's talk about the topic, right?" It was Madeleine who spoke. Now Madeleine and Angel were sitting on the same side, and Brufen was sitting opposite them.
The main reason is that Brufen is so big that one person takes up two places.
Brufen: "What you want to ask about is the crisis at the Hangu ruins? In fact, the sudden disappearance of the former young apprentice named Gu Xia is a kind of crisis."
There was a hint of fear in Brufen's eyes: "As early as a hundred years ago, when the Frost Moon Alliance planned to build a stronghold city here, they discovered something was wrong. Some people disappeared here inexplicably, and the reasons were all as Gusiya said before.
Then, he felt someone calling him."
"Because not many people disappeared, it didn't cause any alarm at first. Until the criminals also disappeared here..."
Shock flashed in Madeline's eyes: "Sin Capital Walker? You mean Puccio?!"
Brufen nodded, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes: "Yes, Puccio also disappeared here."
"This genius true wizard from a hundred years ago actually disappeared here." Madeleine murmured in a low voice: "No wonder, Puccio has not shown his face in the past hundred years..."
"The disappearance of Puccio made people in the alliance start to pay attention to this place. Then after checking the past records, they found that the number of people who disappeared here in the past thousand years has reached thousands, including two official wizards.
It was suspected that he also disappeared here! Since then, the sound of building a stronghold city at the Hangu ruins has gradually become quieter."
"The loss of a true wizard for no reason is a big deal in the alliance. Someone came here to investigate, but found nothing. Later, even Mr. Mengqi came here to investigate..."
