Chapter 34: The Dark Abyss
Andy pondered for a moment as Larson kept yelling at the Minotaur while the other team members dug a pit and buried the dead elf. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I think it's better to look around for clues, and it's not good to judge that it was done by the Minotaur so arbitrarily." Andy frowned, even though the appearance of the minotaur was still a beast, but from what the other team members knew, they were still more honest and responsible.
Larson glanced at Andy and said disdainfully, "What do you know!" Only the minotaurs can get here, and to be clear, they're just like the orcs! ”
"And what about motivation?" Andy said, "What are they going to do when they attack an elven outpost?" They won't get anything good, they can only invite our anger and revenge! ”
Larson's eyes widened, and he rushed to Andy, and said angrily, "Who are you, or an elf?" How do you always speak for someone else! If you keep doing this, I'm not going to be kind to you! ”
"You think I'm going to be scared of you?" Andy didn't show weakness, "You've been targeting me, where did I offend you?" Besides, what do you want? Go to the Minotaur theory, can you understand what they say? Or take a few of us directly to Thunder Cliff and single-handedly pick up a group of minotaurs? ”
"This ......" Larsson was speechless. Andy is telling the truth, he really doesn't understand the language of the Minotaur, and he really can't go directly to Thunder Cliff, that can only cause trouble.
At this time, the elven warriors also came over and played a round at the right time: "Lord Larsen, you all calm down, let's just investigate, let's look around first, if there are any other clues, if it is really related to the Minotaur, it is not too late for us to report." ”
Andy gave Larsson a blank look, turned and walked away. Larsson was so aggrieved that he angrily whipped the ground and turned to the side.
Several elves scattered in all directions, carefully searching for suspicious traces in the ruined outpost.
Andy was also in the search, surrounded by almost nothing but half-human-tall weeds and thick woods.
Within an hour, they had searched a large area, and Andy was getting farther and farther away from Mestra, and farther and farther away from the elven warriors.
Another half an hour passed, and on a patch of weeds, stained with a trace of blood. Andy leaned down and checked, the blood was dry, apparently from a few days ago.
The bloodstain is not this one, but it extends all the way forward. Andy followed the bloodstain and walked forward for a distance of about fifty meters, but he didn't see the end of the bloodstain, thinking in his heart that there must be something wrong.
"There's a situation here!" Andy walked back a bit, shouting at the elven warriors in the distance.
Several elven warriors heard Andy's shout, and they all ran towards Andy, even Larson, who had always been unhappy.
"Here!" Andy led the group to the spot where the bloodstain was found, and said, "This bloodstain goes all the way forward, and I can still find it after walking for a while." ”
"It's not elven blood!" Larson squatted down and looked at it for a while and suddenly said, "Although I don't know what kind of blood this is, it's definitely not an elf!" ”
"Whatever it is, it's not normal to be here!" Andy said, "There are no clues at all now, so it's better to follow along." ”
Larson didn't want to ignore Andy's opinion, but seeing that the other people were secretly nodding, he stood up and nodded.
Andy Larson was in front of the group, carefully identifying the blood stains on the weeds, followed by several other people guarding the surroundings.
"Gone?" Larson clapped his hands and said, "It looks like I'm busy in vain!" ”
Andy looked puzzled, stood up and looked around, and suddenly asked, "What is the place further along?" ”
"Further along is the Endless Sea, you don't even know this?" Larson looked dismissive.
"It's impossible for this bloodstain to be gone!" Andy said with a frown.
"I'm not going to mess around with you!" Larson said, "Maybe it's some kind of animal's blood, wounded and passing through here, stained with it!" ”
"Captain, you'd better come and take a look!" One of the elven warriors, as they were arguing, walked some distance to the side.
Larson glanced at Andy and turned to walk towards the warrior.
In a patch of overpowered grass, a corpse huddled. The corpse had begun to decompose, and the whole corpse emitted a disgusting stench, and from time to time maggots burrowed in and out of the corpse's body, and Larson covered his nose and frowned.
"Naga?" Andy walked over and said with his nose covered.
"You still know Naga?" Larson looked at Andy in surprise.
Andy snorted, and he replied, he didn't want to tell him that he had been killed by a Naga!
"How can there be Naga's corpse here?" Andy wondered, "It's still a little far from the sea!" ”
"This is not the Naga of the sea!" Larson said proudly, "This is a Naga that has lived on land for a long time!" But how did it get here, they never left their habitat! ”
"yes, then this may be going to break their convention, this Naga corpse is already very abnormal!" Andy said, crouching down and fiddling with the corpse twice with a stick.
There was a long gash in the abdomen of the corpse, although it could not be fatal instantly, but it could quickly cause blood loss, and at this time, Naga's stomach and intestines flowed all over the ground, exuding a foul smell.
Andy poked Naga in the shoulder and turned her head up, her face already rotting, her eyes hanging in their sockets, and corpse worms crawling in her mouth. Andy felt sick to his stomach and thought about withdrawing the stick. A pale green gas suddenly came out of Naga's mouth, and it also had a faint fluorescence.
"How can there be such a thing!" Andy's face was shocked, and the stick in his hand was thrown out in an instant.
Larson and the others were also startled by the sudden gas, and said in surprise: "What is this? ”
"Evil power! It's evil power! Andy glanced at the corpse in disgust, stood up and took two steps back, "It's this evil magical power that makes orcs invade this world!" Where is this Naga habitat? ”
Larson also took two steps back and looked at the corpse, at this time, the weeds around the corpse, all of which were shrouded in the green gas just now, all died instantly.
"They inhabit ......," one of the fighters hesitated, ready to say.
"Mata, have you forgotten the taboo!" Larsen suddenly interrupted the elven warrior and shouted with a glare.
"What taboo?" Andy asked in surprise.
"It's a taboo for elves, and you can't have any connection with those Naga anymore!" Larson said.
"What taboo could be more important than the current crisis?" Andy almost jumped up and slapped Larson, when was this, and it was taboo or something.
"You have to think clearly, Larson!" Andy walked in two steps and said, "This is the hinterland of the elves, and now that the existence of evil energy has been discovered here, what is more important than life and death!" ”
Larson glanced up at Andy, his face struggling, thousands of years of racial taboos in his heart.
"The place they inhabit is what we call the Dark Abyss!" Larson finally sighed and said, "There used to be an underground altar they built, and I don't know if it's still in use, but this Naga has been living there. ”
"Dark Abyss!" Andy frowned, from his understanding of this world, Naga is not the only one in the dark abyss!
"You know where they are, don't you!" Andy asked.
Larsson nodded.
"Let's go there!" Andy said he would not allow such an unstable factor to exist.
"What!" Larson was taken aback, "No! Elves are not allowed to go there! ”
Andy glanced at the crowd, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, and they were very resistant to it.
"Okay." Andy sighed and said, "You guys wait for me here, give me the location of the Dark Abyss, and I'll go by myself!" ”
Larson looked at Andy sharply, grabbed Andy by the collar, and yelled, "You can't do it either!" This matter must be reported, and no one can go there without permission! ”
