The sky is dark, there are no stars and no moon, but there is a mysterious pale green fluorescence reflected down, the reflection of giant trees, between the branches and branches, dense traces of green light, teeth and claws.

The bright starlight of the star's grip brought a trace of comfort to the three of them.

Eslena walked at the front of the group, her longbow clenched in one hand, her sharp eyes not missing a trace of detail around her. Iluri held back, guarding Hadilith in the middle.

The forest is home to elves, they have a lot of experience, and Iruri's words are not boasting.

What's more, there is always a pair of invisible eyes in the sky, staring at them, ready to escort them at any time.

Bypassing the towering runic minaret, Esrena also found that the tower had no entrance, presumably some kind of totemic structure, which had been abandoned for a long time. However, it is not affected by the green power like a giant tree, and there is not even any moss or other attachment on the surface, and it maintains a smooth plane.

Leaving the rune spire, the three of them cautiously set off in the direction of the pit. During this period, although they were all nervous because of the strange and strange environment, they did not encounter any danger along the way.

Smoothly came to the pit, which was the size of a small farm, and around the crater was a dark green, magma-like liquid.

"Do you smell it?" said Eslena paused.

"Fishy. Iruli's gaze fell on the magma pool in the center of the pit: "It's coming from the central pool." ”

Hadilith frowned slightly, and a strange instinct arose in her heart: "I think that smell should be blood." ”

"Blood?"

"Yes, my intuition. ”

The dream omens belong to Hadilis, and her judgment is valuable.

"The smell of blood doesn't last long, and once it solidifies, it loses its flavor. Suppose that the green liquid is the blood of some kind of creature. So...... This neighborhood is by no means as simple as we see. ”

This is the experience that belongs to the jungle hunter.

"You're saying there might be life nearby. Or rather, wounded creatures?" Iluri had been taken captive at a young age, and her jungle experience had come from her father, and she couldn't compare to Esrena.

Eslena said to herself, "What creature's blood would be green?, and not only the pits, but also the green stains on the giant trees, and...... Farther away is the wasteland with dense green cracks. ”

"If Hadilith's instincts were correct, the green marks were blood. So...... There must have been a terrible war here. ”

Many questions rose in my mind, but there were no clues.

Perhaps the answer lies in the tomb. Eslena tightened the magic bow in her hand, and conjured a magic arrow on the string: "Everyone be vigilant, this place is definitely not simple." ”

Skirting the pit and passing through the fallen giant tree, a jagged and broken rune pillar appeared in front of him.

"That's right, this is it!"

Hadilith recognized it at a glance, observed the environment, took a few steps faster, and stopped, pointing to the front: "You see, it doesn't look like a tomb." ”

It was a small hill filled with rune pillars, and the lower edge of the hill was a path made of stone slabs that led to a hole about two meters high and one meter wide.

Eslena jumped up the hill first, stood on the highest stone pillar with one foot, surveyed the environment, made sure there was no danger, and landed nimbly at the entrance of the cave.

"There was supposed to be a stone gate here. ”

In the shadows at the entrance of the cave, dozens of shattered stone slabs were scattered all over the ground, all carved with runes.

Iruli, who threatened to drag out of the coffin, swallowed and salivaed: "There won't really be something resurrected and crawled out of it, right?"

Seeing Eslena and Hadilith looking at each other at the same time, her face turned red and she quibbled, "Hey, I'm not afraid. I just felt, felt like the rotting corpse crawled out, it was disgusting. Don't you think?"

Eslena shook her head: "The door was shattered by an external force, and the pieces fell inside. ”

Iruli muttered unconvinced, "What if it was pulled from the inside?"

"Shhhhh......h

Eslena gave her a serious look on her face.

I saw Hadilis, who was standing at the entrance of the tomb, Xiumei wrinkled slightly, and her eyes were constantly changing, as if she hadn't heard their conversation, and was in a state of distraction.

The two of them watched her quietly, and after a long time, she showed no sign of consciousness.

Worried that something had happened to her, Eslena had to walk over and gently tat her on the shoulder.

"Huh?" Hadilith snapped back to her senses, her chest heaving violently, and making a 'whirring' sound.

"Hadilis, are you alright?"

"I'm ......" Hadilys calmed down, but there was still fear in her eyes, "Someone is whispering, from the tomb." I could feel his pain, and I could even understand some of his words. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Iluri's eyes widened and she blurted out, "Did he crawl out and crawl back again?"

Eslena gave her a blank look and said straightly, "Hadilis, what is he talking about? ”

"Well, I understand. ”

Hadilith nodded, gathering her thoughts: "That's not the universal language we speak, but a very obscure ancient magic language. My mentor studied the origins of ancient magic in the former Imperial Library of Kurminsk. In the past few years, his body has gradually weakened, and his mana has also declined, and he is unable to continue his magic practice. Therefore, most of his energy is spent sorting out what he has seen, heard, and learned. ”

"If I have time, I'll be a note-taker for him and put together his magical codex. The origin of this ancient magic language is very mysterious, the history is very long, and there is very little relevant information. Even a mentor has only mastered part of it, and the rest is speculation and inference. ”

"Tracing back to the language of the other party is also extremely important information. Eslena didn't think she was verbose, in fact, in her description, at least the general origin and identity of the other party could be guessed from it.

"How far away?"

Hadilith was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "At least ten thousand years." ”

"Ten thousand years?" Eslena gasped, the elves had a long lifespan, most of them were two or three hundred years old, and the priests and elders were even seven or eight hundred years old. But on the scale of 10,000 years, it is not worth mentioning.

Iluli was not so confident anymore, and said, "You mean, the one lying inside is a dead man tens of thousands of years ago? No, it's not a dead man, it's a dead ghost, a zombie, a resentful spirit, he crawled out, and he still exists......"

"Maybe even longer. ”

Hadilyse added.

There was a terrible silence at the scene.

The time scale of 10,000 years is too long for mortals. So much so that their imagination is so lacking that they can't imagine what it will be.

Tombs that have been sealed for thousands of years, ghosts that have whispered for thousands of years.

Unknown, mysterious.

Bring terror from the bottom of your heart.

Eslena was the first to suppress her fear: "What is he talking about?

Hadilith shook her head: "The ancient magic words are too obscure, and I can only understand some of them through my mentor's codex, but I can't know their full meaning. ”

"So, what about the words? What is he meant? pain?"

"Yes. A groan of pain. ”

"Glaring disappointment, repentance, horrible crimes. Unforgivable, Save, Meaning...... What?"

"That's all I can understand. Hadilith involuntarily looked at the tomb and took a soft breath: "But there is a word that appears many times. I can only describe the pronunciation, I can't understand the meaning. ”

"Pronunciation?"

"Yes. ”

"Candusos, Reta. ”

Eslena muttered, "That sounds like a ...... Name?"

"I don't know, but it could be a specific word, a spell, a place, an instrument. Because, I can't understand even one of the affixes. ”

"But ......"

Hadilys looked up, and there was certainty written in those eyes: "My intuition tells me that this word is important and important. ”

Yiluli, who felt a little not too trembling, unconsciously touched her nose, felt the fine beads of sweat in her fingers, and whispered: "What about now......?

Esreena looked inquiringly at Hadilith.

Hadilith struggled to squeeze out a smile: "I...... I want to know the answer. You can choose not to go on adventures with me, I'm serious. ”

"I agree with your previous statement. Esrena's face was full of determination: "Hadilis, accompany you to find the answer, not for you." And my family, the dawn of Arabe, I will not choose to back down. ”
