Chapter 1018 Ashe Yuesong’s Exploration and Doubts
"Lord of Plagues...Lord of Plagues..."
Ash Moonsong lay on her back in the thick grass, licking the fur on her paws and slapping her tail against the ground.
She had followed the team of slaves all the way to the vicinity of the research institute. The slaves filed in, but Ashe Yuesong did not dare to approach, and huddled into the grass across the Lixu Road——
In that research institute, the powerful and blazing aura of death was like a torch in the eyes of an elf close to nature like her.
Moreover, it kept scanning in circles. The special power fluctuations swept across her body several times.
If the institute wasn't located inside a crater and the mountain wall could hide her figure, she wouldn't even dare to get so close;
If nature hadn't protected her, if it hadn't been for the fact that her transformation into a tiger-cat form had reduced her sense of existence, I'm afraid she would have been discovered...
"How can we detect the situation?" Ashe Yuege finished licking the hair on her left front paw, and then started to lick her right front paw, thinking of a way while licking:
"Charging in head-on, grabbing people and leaving? I'm definitely no match. The people inside are too strong, and there's an entire mage tower as a backing;
Turn into a small animal and go in to take a look? It is too dangerous. If it is swept by the mage tower, the small animal will have no fighting power;
Or, try to communicate with the plants inside?"
She lay on the ground, her ears tucked back, and her cheek pressed tightly against the ground. She closed her eyes, and her spiritual power filled the meadow around her, and then extended outward little by little——
"Hey! No!"
The elf ranger dug at the ground angrily. The tiger-cat form was not the most convenient form for communicating with plants, and the meadows on the mountains were not the rainforest she was most familiar with——
Not to mention, there is very little vegetation in the institute.
All the houses and squares are made of large stones, with no room for vegetation to grow on them.
In the ditch and under the wall, not even moss grows——
"Disgusting human magicians! Disgusting mage towers!" Ash Moonsong muttered dully:
"I can only use [fossils to turn into mud] and [turn mud into stone] to build houses, but I don't know how to appreciate the beauty of nature! How wonderful it would be to use a mother tree to make a wizard's tower..."
However, complaining cannot change the situation. Plants do not, and small animals do not. For natural children, this is equivalent to covering their eyes and blocking their ears.
Ask about the animals again? Ash Moonsong tried to communicate with the nearby animals and found that all flying insects, reptiles, poisonous snakes and ants avoided that place...
"It's terrible there! It's terrible! It's terrible!" The birds pecking in the meadow told her:
"There is death! There is lots and lots of death! Death every day! Don't go!"
Ash Moonsong gritted her teeth and turned into a kestrel, flying into the air. She lifted up, outward, circled, suddenly tightened her wings, and flew rapidly from the low altitude above the mountain pass——
In the research institute, the power of death is so obvious! Ignorant, pure, innocent, large areas, mixed with cold pain and resentment——
There are many!
There are many!
Especially in the central area, the aura of death is extremely concentrated and obvious. Within it, there are dozens of auras, swimming lively and lively, which are particularly harmonious with the one after another aura of death.
No need to guess, it must be those necromancers!
Ashe Yuege snorted coldly in her heart. In the center of the research institute, Archmage Heins suddenly raised his head, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked upward:
"who?!"
"What?"
Gretel looked at him blankly. Then he raised his head, looked up, and expanded his mental power...
Nothing!
The ceiling is clean, and the sky above is empty. The place where birds don’t poop - it was too clean when the institute was built. There are almost no plants, and there are no insects or mice at all. What are the birds doing here?
"...It's okay." Seeing him like this, Archmage Heins breathed out and waved his hand:
"There seemed to be something spying just now... However, it was not the Holy See or the Snake God. It might have been some Golden Eagle warrior passing by? Anyway, we are not afraid, let him go..."
Gretel shrugged and continued to engage in research and discussion with the Archmage. In the air, Ash Moonsong passed by, and continued to recall the feeling just now:
On the right wing of the institute, a large number of life breaths were concentrated, some were strong and some were weak, but each one gave her a feeling of depression and stagnation.
Are these prisoners of war? Are these the people Tupac asked her to rescue?
Ashe Yuege quickly flew over the mountain pass and flew far away. In order to avoid being discovered, she swooped along the hillside for a long time, then flew over a mountain before descending. She landed on the treetops and thought intently:
There was a clear, vibrant breath in the mountain pass just now. What was that?
Is it a natural scent?
Are there any of her tribesmen inside?
Or, other, human beings who worship nature?
How could a natural child mix with those necromancers?
Was he being tempted, forced, or even imprisoned, extracting power and doing evil things?
The kestrel jumped back and forth on the branches, having no clue for a while. After thinking for a while, it simply jumped off the ground and turned into a leopard. It bent its body, kicked out its four claws, and ran down like lightning:
The leopard form is the most commonly used transformation form when she patrols the forest on a daily basis. After transforming into a leopard, it runs like flying. Even if someone watches from a distance, they can only see a gray-yellow afterimage flashing past.
"I'll go to the city below first to inquire..." As she ran, Ashe Yuege thought:
"I have been to this Eagle Country before. At that time, I didn't see any necromancers or anything like that... I want to find out how these people came here and what they plan to do here..."
"Such a big building and such a big mage tower couldn't have fallen from the sky... If you go into the city and ask around, you can always get some information... I don't believe that those people on the mountain eat and drink without relying on supplies from down the mountain...
…”
With the wind whistling in her ears and running backwards, Ashe Yuege ran at full speed, and soon she had reached the lake at the foot of the mountain. She plunged into the reeds and shook her body vigorously. Water droplets flew like rain on the wet leopard fur.
After a moment, the reeds swayed, and a heroic elf woman with short green hair stood up. She quickly looked around and raised her hand to cast a spell.
A wave of magic shrouded it like a flowing water. For a moment, the elf female warrior standing tall and tall by the water had turned into an inconspicuous indigenous woman. She lowered her head and frowned, looking down at the waterside:
"And the Lord of the Plague... Just hearing the name, it sounds like he is the one who calls the shots... Maybe the powerful spiritual power that was scanned just now is the Lord of the Plague..."
"We must investigate carefully. God knows what the Lord of the Plague with such a strong aura of death can do... What if a wave of plague arises and turns the entire Eagle Kingdom into a dead place..."
