Volume 1 Forest of Strange Beasts Chapter 17 The Strange Cave
After leaving the three of them, Lu Yunfei walked alone along the river to the vicinity of a stretch of mountain ranges, and through the mountains in front of him, he entered the scope of Area B.
"There's a strange sense of death around here. Little Black Sword said suddenly
"What do you mean by dead air?" Lu Yunfei heard this kind of word for the first time, and he was a little confused.
"It's this one that has killed a lot of people. Something that accumulates over time. ”
"Why do so many people die, encounter some kind of powerful alien beast? Shouldn't it, although it is a alien beast forest, but it seems that most alien beasts follow the law that the deeper they go into the forbidden area, the more terrifying they become, and now it's only Area A, so there won't be so many people dying in one place, right?"
"Who told you that only strange beasts can kill? The little black sword said with some disdain, "It's very strange, there is a special aura in the dead air, but it seems to be far away, and I don't feel it very clearly." ”
"Ancient battlefield?" Lu Yunfei said after thinking for a while.
However, Little Black Sword did not respond.
Lu Yunfei also tried to sense it, but it felt the same as usual.
"Don't feel it, a low-level monk like you can't feel it. ”
"It's like some kind of treasure feels like it's going to be like it. ”
"Hee-hee... Why don't you give it a try, maybe it will make you a step to the sky? The little black sword seemed to be encouraging Lu Yunfei
Lu Yunfei's eyes lit up, there are many kinds of exotic treasures, some are inherited from ancient times, and some are congenital spiritual objects that have existed for tens of thousands of years, it is said that there was once a certain monk in the alien beast forest, recognized a fairy grass, and after eating it, his physique directly changed, and he was promoted all the way to the Great Martial God.
Although many rumors are unfounded, these heavenly treasures must have existed, and they have gone through countless years, even through the Great Dark Ages before the Federation.
Lu Yunfei walked along the river to the valley, and after passing through the valley, a strange white mist appeared, which made him feel very strange that this side of the river was full of greenery, and after crossing the river, it was very long, full of dry soil and rocks, and it was a very inconspicuous black hill in the distance.
There are no markers on this black hill map, no wonder, after all, the alien beast forest is so big, even if it is Area A, it will not be able to explore it completely. Only some of the more prominent locations will be marked on the map.
At this time, it was raining lightly, and Lu Yunfei sensed the surroundings, and it seemed that he couldn't hear any other movement except for the sound of the rain.
"Walking forward, the closer I got, the more lifeless I feel. Little Black Sword reminded.
braved the rain all the way to the front, Lu Yunfei didn't care about his wet clothes, and the rainy white mist looked extremely weird.
"Interesting, the induction disappears at this point. ”
"Don't be kidding me. Lu Yunfei couldn't help but roll his eyes, he couldn't feel the strange feeling that Xiao Heijian said, and after walking for so long, he told him that he couldn't feel it, are you playing with me?
Up to now, the itinerary has become difficult, every time Lu Yunfei lands, he almost gets stuck in the mud, and he can't help but stop and catch his breath for a while without walking much distance.
Lu Yunfei looked back, and now because of this broken weather, the visibility was extremely low. After stopping and resting for a while, Lu Yunfei finally gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
One foot deep and one foot shallow, heading towards the halfway up the mountainside, didn't walk for a while, Lu Yunfei asked a very strange question, it seemed to smell earthy and fishy, like the smell of something rotting and then being soaked in rain. This smell has been surrounding, Lu Yunfei smelled it for a long time and even wanted to vomit, and finally had to tear off the cloth to block his nose. Lu Yunfei looked up, the overlapping and undulating peaks around him, surrounded by the white mist, looked like one giant beast after another.
Even the sky is gray, and with the light rain, it doesn't look like a good sign. Lu Yunfei didn't know why he had become so bold.
However, when Lu Yunfei was halfway up, he suddenly stopped, and the path next to the hillside was full of dead trees like dried corpses, slender and long, drenched by the rain, looking black and sticky, in the corner of a pile of dead trees, a large white bone was lying on its back, which was very eye-catching at a glance.
The white bones are mixed with dirt, and even mottled with yellow marks, making it impossible to see how long it has passed. Lu Yunfei couldn't recognize the white bones of a strange beast. It's normal to have white bones in the mountains like this, maybe some strange beast died violently here, and then slowly turned into a pile of dry bones.
However, not long after Lu Yunfei continued to move forward, there was more than one white bone along the way... Some are bulky, and some are more slender. Most Lu Yunfei couldn't tell what kind of beast it was, but Lu Yunfei, a white bone not far away, recognized it.
"This is the white bones of the Flame Shadow Weasel?" Lu Yunfei couldn't help but be shocked, there was a mark in the manual, one of the most vigilant alien beasts in Area A was the Flame Shadow Weasel, this strange beast was extremely rare, extremely difficult, extremely fast, and could release extremely terrifying flame energy, generally only the monks in Area A could only go deep into the A area, and they could only run when they saw it.
And yet it was exposed here.
The further you go, the more white bones there are, and some of them are even broken into slag, as if they have been trampled by something.
Lu Yunfei walked in the direction of the white bones to a detour path, in the middle was a dense forest formed by dead trees, and in the dim sight, a towering mountain wall appeared in front of him. There are white flowers blooming around the flash wall, but there are red fruits in the blooming flowers.
However, Lu Yunfei stood still, because there was a huge hole on the side of the mountain wall, and in the hole, there were two human footprints.
"There are humans here?" Lu Yunfei thought, the traces were a little faint, the back half of the footprints had been blurred, and there were no traces of time.
Lu Yunfei cautiously approached the entrance of the cave, focusing his eyes on the front, the entrance of the cave was relatively narrow, but after stepping into the hole, the inside instantly opened up, Lu Yunfei stood in front of the entrance of the cave and stopped for a moment, and searched the surroundings with his poor divine sense, there seemed to be no movement within three or four meters, except for the sound of one or two drops of water falling on the ground.
The vision is a little dark, and it is too unwise to go in the dark like this. Lu Yunfei fumbled in his bag for a while, took out a torch, and then lit it, his vision instantly brightened.
Except for the footprints at the entrance of the cave, the footprints seem to disappear at the entrance of the cave. What caught my eye was a pile of rough stone walls, and you could feel a clear moisture when you got close to them.
The light of the torch was not very visible, Lu Yunfei held the sword in his right hand and the torch in his left hand to continue to go deeper. "It looks like a natural cave. Lu Yunfei felt that this cave didn't seem to be anything special, it was just a very ordinary cave that could be found casually halfway up the mountain.
The visibility ahead is very large, but it is still pitch black, and it seems that there is still air flow blowing outward, and there are many stone pillars on the stone wall above the head, and if you are not careful, you may hit your head and break the blood flow. Lu Yunfei walked and suddenly kicked something, Lu Yunfei thought it was an ordinary stone, but the corner of his eye swept over, Lu Yunfei was shocked into a cold sweat, and at his feet was a human skull. Under the light of the fire, the skull looked at Lu Yunfei in a daze, and there was a small broken hole on the top of his head, which was divided into hideous.
Unexpectedly, the skull belonged to a human monk, but the monk who had arrived there before had fallen here.
Lu Yunfei's heart beat faster, he saw the bones of a human for the first time, although it was normal for him to face these cruel things as a monk, but Lu Yunfei couldn't help but breathe gradually shorter.
The dim space, the environment where he knew nothing, Lu Yunfei instinctively took a few steps back, his divine sense expanded to his limit, but at this time he froze, and he heard a dull breathing sound other than him, like muffled thunder.
Lu Yunfei shone the torch in the direction that his divine sense had detected, and the dark environment gradually became clear under the light of the torch in an instant, and in front of him was a terrain like a deep pit, and the flames shone on the stone wall in front of him, swaying.
This is a humanoid giant beast, the body is three meters tall, a body of black hair mixed with thread-like white hair, but there is something like a bird's wing on its back, a pair of huge scarlet eyes on its dark and wrinkled face looked straight in the direction where Lu Yunfei was, its mouth was half open, and saliva kept falling down on its white teeth, and it looked very strange like a dark red stone embedded in its forehead.
