Xia Zor and Locke continued deeper along the riverbank, with enough vegetation to block the way, and the way forward became more and more difficult.

Suddenly, Xia Zuo noticed that there were runes on a plant on the riverbank, so he crouched down to take a closer look.

Locke also saw the plant, and after making sure that the lines on the plant were indeed runes, he spoke.

"We're already in the depths of Mount Cahill. ”

"Uncle Locke, do you know what this is?"

The green runes on the plants, the new non-elemental runes, made Xia Zuo interested in it.

"It's ...... An ordinary plant. Or rather, this is the world as it is. ”

"What it is?"

"Yes, my grandfather's grandfather told this story to my grandfather's father, and then my grandfather's father relayed the story to my grandfather's grandfather's grandson, and my grandfather's grandfather's grandson relayed this story to my grandfather's father's grandson, and then my grandfather's father's grandson relayed this story to me......"

"Ancestral stories?"

"That's right!

"That's when my grandfather's grandfather said to my grandfather's father......"

“...... Direct storytelling. ”

"My grandfather's grandfather at the time ......"

"Tell the story directly!"

"Don't interrupt me, doesn't my grandpa's grandpa's story begin with my grandpa's grandpa?"

“...... You speak. ”

"A long, long time ago, my grandfather's grandfather lived within the ninth wall, and then Mogold IX announced the start of the construction of the tenth magnificent wall. ”

Maybe Grandpa was screaming too much, Locke opened the water bag and took a sip of water before continuing.

"The cause of the matter is very simple, just like the eight walls in front, the magnificent wall of the heavenly moat keeps out the threat of the rune beasts, the people of Norvis live and work in peace and contentment, people live and live, the ninth wall is saturated, and the kingdom continues to advance south in order to solve this contradiction, competing with the rune beasts for living space. ”

"Of course, people don't want to give up the comfort inside the walls and go to the world outside the walls where runemons are infested. ”

"The "purge" plan is carried out as always, it is said that this is the tradition that began with the construction of the fifth wall, and the powerful rune master army of Norvis marched outside the wall, killing and driving the rune beasts everywhere they went, and then completely destroying the rune ecology, without the rune environment they relied on to survive, the rune beasts naturally did not want to stay here, and the few rune beasts that stayed here degenerated into ordinary beasts from generation to generation because of the disappearance of the rune environment. ”

"Without the threat of runebeasts, and the kingdom's reward for moving outside the walls, my grandfather's grandfather has since moved outside the walls to live and hunt for a living. ”

"My grandfather's grandfather also witnessed the power of the Purge Legion. ”

"They are clothed in light, they tear the earth, they harness the wind, they reverse the rivers, they hold the fire and thunder in their hands, and they punish the great beasts of the mountains and mountains that walk in the world......"

These bard-like sentences are exactly what my grandfather's grandfather said. ”

"I thought, if this is true, there must be some traces in the mountains of Cahill, the peak-like beast, hahaha, how can a hunter not aspire to hunt such prey. ”

"Purge" ...... ?

Xia Zuo stroked the green runes on the plant, cut off a few complete runes with the "Blue Moon Dagger", and carefully put them away.

"Uncle Locke, keep going. ”

"Are you sure? Hunting runemons in this area is enough. ”

"Now that the 'purge' has passed, I don't think there will be any mid-level rune beasts, and I want to go deeper. ”

Locke pondered for a moment, clapped his hands, and made a decision.

"Keep walking along the river, there should be no runebeasts with water elementals here, and the fire elemental and wind elemental seem to be the main elemental composition of Cahill Mountain. ”

The inaccessible depths of Mount Cahill don't have the same scenic roads as tourist attractions.

Xia Zor and Locke's path was completely carved out with the knife and dagger in their hands.

"Wind Deer!"

Locke shouted with some excitement, he would not admit the rune beast that made him really embark on the path of a rune master.

Quickly pulled an arrow from the quiver, and the power of the crimson rune wound up from the tail of the arrow, condensed at the tip of the arrow, and even ignited a small flame.

Arrows with the power of fire runes whizzed past, skimming the plants and leaving them scorched.

The "Wind Deer", which was passing by not far away, dodged the arrow with a twist of its buttocks, and continued to lower its head and graze unhurriedly.

Xia Zuo could still see clearly...... There were green runes on the grass.

Locke fired two more arrows in quick succession, but both of them were slowly dodged by the "Wind Deer".

And the Wind Deer was still grazing slowly, and by the way, let's see what the two two-legged beasts wanted to do to it.

This time, Locke directly unfolded the talent rune.

"Flame Blast!"

The diameter of this fireball is one meter, and it seems that Uncle Locke has shot with all his might.

As if frightened, the rune "Wind Walk" on its back lit up, and in an instant, several dodges disappeared into the dense forest.

The fireball exploded and dissipated, and in the humid environment, it did not cause a wildfire, but only left a large area of charred black.

"Uncle Locke, did you really shoot a Wind Deer with a bow and arrow?"

"It's true...... But I'm also having some self-doubt now. ”

“......”

"I'm going to get the arrow back. ”

Locke retrieves two arrows but can't find a third.

"Watch your back!"

The ground suddenly sagged, and Locke stumbled and almost fell into the hollow created by the subsidence of the land.

"Dirt Rat, Xia Zuo immediately reacted to what kind of rune beast this was.

"Don't get stuck in the hole!"

The low-level rune beast "Soil Thief" has only one rune skill, "Soil Thief", which can instantly absorb a portion of the soil within the area, and then return it.

The Soil Thief usually travels underground, stealing the soil from the target's feet and then returning the soil when the prey falls into the pit, suffocating the prey to death.

Due to the limited soil capacity of the "Soil Thief", and as a rune master, it is not a pile of soil that can be easily crushed to death, as long as the rescue is timely, there is no danger, the "Soil Thief" is a small number of scavenging rune beasts, and the living prey will not eat it.

Xia Zuo let go of his mental power, scanned the movement under the soil, and found that the "Soil Thief Rat" was actually under his feet.

After several runemon attacks, Xia Zuo also had some experience in dealing with runemons, and the "Pale Claw" was instantly ready, stabbing at the soil under his feet without hesitation.

The "Dirt Thief" seemed to sense the danger and fled in an instant, away from Natsuzo.

Xia Zuo chased for a short distance and found that although its speed of escaping the earth was slightly inferior to his pursuit speed, the "Earth Thief Rat" was getting deeper and deeper, and Xia Zuo, who did not have the earth element rune, naturally had no choice.

Just as he was about to join Locke, Xia Zuo was shocked by the distant sight.

In the dark valley, a skeleton like a mountain peak stood silently.

The mutilated runes on the bones still have a faint light, and they have stood tall for a hundred years.

“...... They hold the fire and the thunder in their hands......"

“ ...... Punish the mountain beasts that walk in the world......"
