The outskirts of the Forsaken Land are more littered with rubble and the bones of various animals, and wild animals will always plunge headlong into the fog for one reason or another, and then die inexplicably.

"That's the importance of this mask, the entire Forsaken is filled with curses and unknown mystical elements that even a barbarian with giant blood would not have been able to hold out for long without it. ”

Gusfu pointed to the mask on his face, his expression could not be seen clearly, but from his serious tone, Roddy felt caution, and couldn't help but tighten the strange mask that was clinging to his face again.

As Roddy gazed curiously at this world full of legends and fascinating mysteries, the leader of the scavenging team, Gusfu, pulled out a fire fold from his pocket and lit it with some rancid smell of a beast that had died shortly ago.

It was a saber-toothed tiger with jagged fangs, and if it was encountered in the deep forest, even the most experienced hunter would die in Huangquan, and no one could withstand its great strength and sharp fangs.

"Fresh blood food can easily attract living corpses and unknown dangers, so in order to ensure safety in the future, we must also clean up this hidden danger on the basis of scavenging. ”

Roddy took the captain's words to heart, he was the first time to enter the Forsaken Lands, and he was also a new member of the scavenging team this year, so he had to be more cautious and careful than anyone else.

The number of scavengers in Leo Village has always been six, on the one hand, because there are only six sets of equipment necessary to enter the Forsaken Land, and on the other hand, there are not many young people in the village, and even fewer are able-bodied.

As he passed by the burning saber-toothed tiger, Roddy was surprised to find that there was not a trace of smoke rising from the burning corpse, but the strong smell of meat caused his throat to tremble slightly.

Gusfu was keenly aware of this, and said half-jokingly, half-warningly:

"If you want to see what it's like to be a living corpse, you can try tearing a piece of cooked meat and tasting it. ”

Roddy quickly looked away from the saber-toothed tiger, although the smell was indeed tempting.

The other four team members laughed when they saw Roddy's appearance, thinking that they hadn't been like this in the first place.

In Leo Village, meat has always been in short supply, and it can only be eaten on New Year's Day throughout the year.

Along the way, many animal carcasses were burned, some large and some small, but as we went deeper, the carcasses of those animals that had strayed in gradually disappeared, and with them the gloomy environment and the strange trees that were lonely.

Teeth and claws look like a roaring goblin.

It wasn't long before Gusfu traced the route he had traveled and identified the area to explore.

In fact, it's still on the periphery.

"It's been an hour, and there's only three hours left to explore, and counting the time on the way back, so we actually have less than two hours to explore. ”

Gusfu looked at the team members solemnly, emphasizing that after exploring the time, he took out the thick rope woven after the wool rope grass was dried from the package and fastened the end around his waist and tied it tightly, while handing the rest to the other members, like a lifeline climbing a snowy mountain, connecting everyone together, and each person was also equipped with a sharp and sharp serrated knife in case of an accident to cut the thick rope.

"Remember the rules!, and pay attention to your teammates' mental state, even if it is a small change, if you notice it in advance, you may save your teammate's life. ”

The team members looked at each other and nodded solemnly, Roddy didn't know how to be in an abnormal mental state, but he felt that Gusfu's gaze had been paying attention to him.

"The exploration begins. ”

Here, Leo Village holds a scavenging festival every year, but the area to really explore can be said to be very few, all the areas together are estimated to be less than a Leo village, someone has done experiments, it only takes thirty minutes to walk back and forth from the head of the village to the end of the village, and the abandoned land, no one knows how big it is, how many there are, maybe one day the gods will come down to know the answer.

Six people are no more than two meters away from each other, like kindergarten students queuing up to cross the street, so the exploration is inevitably extremely inefficient, but correspondingly safer.

Led by Gusf, Etro, the second most experienced member of the team, finished the race.

"Captain!"

Roddy's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but shout.

"I might have found something!"

The others turned their heads one after another, in fact they didn't think that as a newcomer they would be able to find something useful in such a short period of time, not to mention that there were four veterans in front of him, one of whom was the most experienced Gusfu.

Most likely, this kid has never seen the world, and has regarded some strangely shaped stones as relics.

Gusfu took a few steps back, looked into Roddy's eyes, and didn't ask until Roddy was at a loss:

"Where?"

Luo Di pointed to a piece of black soil not far from the left hand side, and Gu Sifu squinted his eyes and found a faint silver light under the black soil, which he really couldn't see if he didn't look carefully.

Gusfu cautiously stepped forward to confirm whether it was safe, and after receiving the affirmation, he took out an old shovel and dug it carefully.

The other teammates looked at it curiously, since the captain really started excavation, it means that Roddy is very likely to have really found the ruins, and he can't help but have a sense of anticipation.

As the captain tinkered for a while, he took out a silver goblet from the black soil, and there were some delicate patterns on it, especially after wiping off the stained black soil, it was even more delicate and elegant.

"Oh my God!"

"There really is!"

The teammates couldn't help but sigh and praised Roddy for his good eyesight.

Even Gusfu changed his serious expression and couldn't help but stretch out.

"Hehe, don't worry, you have to check if it's contaminated with a curse. ”

In this abandoned land full of unknown curses, many seemingly ordinary things may contain terrifying curses, and once a scavenger carelessly brought a very ordinary stone brick back to the village, causing the demon to descend.

Everyone couldn't wait to urge the captain, and as the biggest hero, Luo Di couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart.

Gusfu first took out a small jar of white powder, drew a circle on the ground, then drew a simple eye inside the circle, and then placed the silver cup in the center.

Carefully put away the jar, and took out a small wine jug, scattered some crystal droplets of water and landed in the silver cup, and then crossed his hands, his left hand in front of him, and his right hand in the back of his chest, and whispered:

"Sheltering us who have been abandoned..."

"The Creator of Time Travel..."

"Your faithful servant asks for help..."

"Is this relic dangerous..."

As soon as the words fell, Roddy held his breath and stared intently at the pattern that looked like a one-eyed, for fear that the excessive breathing would affect the outcome of the ritual.

Although he didn't understand why the prayer spoken by the captain was not directed at the Seven Gods, he didn't care when the other team members didn't show any abnormalities.

Everything was not as magical as Roddy had imagined, there was no sudden light, and he didn't see the angels sent by the gods, as if nothing had happened, which made him slightly disappointed.

Gusfu listened with his eyes closed, and soon his expression began to soothe.

"Hehe, there's no danger. ”

Everyone shouted in unison.

"Captain, this silver cup is worth a lot of money! I remember the nobles' unusual fondness for silver. ”

Gusfu gave an affirmative opinion, and roughly estimated that the silver cup would be exchanged for at least fifty pounds or so of gold coins, and perhaps more.

This made the members of the scavenging team more and more happy and happy, and they were even more unabashedly appreciative of Roddy, which made Roddy, who was slightly disappointed, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Fifty pounds is enough to buy supplies for the whole village to survive the winter, and even save a little to buy a lot of cured meat.

Roddy only thinks of his parents praising him for this, thinking of the villagers being able to survive this cold winter with peace of mind, and thinking of the blonde girl.

It's simply amazing!

However, in addition to the excitement, Luo Di still expressed his doubts about the ceremony, and Gusfu did not feel strange and patiently explained.

"You should know that there aren't many villages like our Leo that can enter the Forsaken Lands, partly because of the danger of the Forsaken Lands themselves, and partly because of the specificity of the Forsaken Lands. ”

Gusfu pondered it for a moment and tried to express it as plainly as possible.

"You can't pray to the Seven Gods in an abandoned place, just as you pray to the Church of the Night in the Church of Order and the Law. ”

It dawned on Roddy, but he was still curious about the patterns and prayers that Gusif had drawn during the ritual, as if the object of prayer was a real deity.

"Your guess is correct. Gusfu's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The specific character of the abandoned land we are in now is the place where the fallen gods fell, which means that this was once the territory of the gods. ”

Roddy gasped, he had never imagined that this abandoned place near Leo Village would be the result of a fallen god.

"He... Still alive?"

Gusfu smiled slightly, shaking his head in denial.

But it's still His kingdom. ”

Roddy reined in his thoughts, not daring to mention anything about the Seven Gods and the Fallen Gods.

The rest of the exploration has been safe, there have been no accidents, but nothing of value has been found, but with the silver goblet that Roddy has found, the exploration has already been considered a full load.

The rest of the time was left to wait for Gusfu to record the new route he had explored, and by this time everyone was feeling empty, which was a problem for the scavengers to overcome.

Because of the mask and the curse, it is naturally impossible to eat in the Forsaken Lands, and the time for exploration is very short.

There was still excitement in Roddy's heart, and the journey did not make him feel particularly dangerous, but rather fruitful, which made him gradually relax, and took advantage of the captain's leisure time to draw maps and set his eyes deeper into the darkness.
