Green explained the speculation of the hunters who had just come to him. At this time, there is no more time to make too many inferences, and the top priority is to find the two first, and then interrogate them carefully.

Therefore, after simply assigning each person's task, everyone immediately rushed towards the place where the two mysterious people had left before.

The noisy voice woke up the sleeping Xiao Mu, and he sat up sleepily, looking confused, "What's the matter?" However, Xiao Mu seemed to be still immersed in his sleep and said nothing.

It backfired, and the hunters who had gone to track it soon returned in vain. The lead hunter reported to Green that there was no trace of the direction in which the two had left. In the Sunset Mountains in this season, there are muddy snow mixed with mud everywhere, and they can actually leave no footprints or anything, it can only be said that these two people have a big problem, and they deliberately concealed it.

Things have come to this point, and Green has no better way, it is clear that these two people are related to dark magic anomalies, but they can't find anyone. The Sunset Mountain Range is indeed too big, two people drill into the deep mountains and old forests, and then deliberately clear the traces left, even if they sprinkle 10,000 people into the mountains, it will be difficult to find them, not to mention the dozens of people in the special dispatch team. What's more, it's night, and the beasts in the Sunset Mountains are in a period of madness again, so for the sake of safety, Green still let everyone rest first.

Kui Gang was by the campfire, angrily smashing his scimitar, and everyone knew how much clue they had missed.

Fortunately, when the red sun rose the next day, the Clay hunters of the Kaman Adventurers' Chapter brought good news. It turned out that the two who left were not found last night, and early this morning, when Clay took a few people to re-inspect the neighborhood, he found a hidden trail, which seemed to be two rows of footprints, one of which was very uneven.

Clay suddenly thought that it might be the pair of mysterious people from yesterday, and one of them was not just walking with a limp in his lower limbs. Green listened to the report and understood that these two people probably came down from the mountain along the footprints. They were in a hurry to leave yesterday and erased the traces of leaving, but the direction they came from still left a clue.

The news brought by Clay made everyone's mood lifted, and sure enough, it was another village.

So, Kist woke up Xiao Mu, followed the team, and immediately prepared to go. After a night's rest, Xiao Mu's spirit is obviously much better, mental power, after being exhausted, and then recovered through rest, it will be more full, Vester nodded to Setie, which can be regarded as approving Setie's previous explanation.

Little Mu and Kester, who recovered, followed Green, Quigang, and Setie on their way. The hunters of the Adventurer's Guild had already set off ahead of time and followed the clues on the ground and headed directly up the mountain. The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the less obvious the traces on the ground become, but fortunately, the hunters are all knowledgeable and experienced, and there are even a few times when Green personally lies on the ground to look for them, and finally no clues are broken.

After a long journey, the group followed the footprints to a peak in the Sunset Mountains. The peak temperature is lower and still snowy. Here, there is a cave entrance, which stands in the snow like a bloody mouth in the sun, and the row of footprints that appear more obvious on the snow extends all the way to the mouth of the cave.

The hunters, like facing a great enemy, clenched their weapons and went into the cave to investigate. In a short time, Clay came out of the cave and reported to Green, "Chief, there is no one in the cave, but there is something strange, you better come and take a look." ”

"What is it?" asked Green.

"Blood Array!"

"What are you talking about?" Quigang and Setty, who were beside Green, heard the word "blood array". I gasped and was amazed. Green's complexion also changed dramatically. Drawing his sword, he and Kuigang Clay rushed into the cave.

Setie didn't rush over, and explained to Kester and Xiao Mu beside him.

Blood Array, a general term, is often used in certain evil rituals or magical events. The manifestation is a huge pentagram, of different materials, the simplest is to pluck the earth into a array, or it is made of metal or fired from clay. In the pentagram, blood is often infused, especially evil and terrifying. Because no matter what the form, most of them are evil rituals of blood, and all countries call this kind of ritual "blood array" in general. "Judging from the existing information, where the "Blood Array" appears, evil dark magic events are generally found.

After listening to Setie's explanation, Xiao Mu nodded towards Kested, "She's right, there are relevant records in the library of the Royal Capital Academy, and I saw similar records when I was consulting folk astrology. ”

"Mu Gongzi, what you said is incomplete, although folk astrology or occultism will also use pentagrams, but those should be ordinary pentagrams, and they will not be infused with blood. Only those who are infused with blood can be called a blood array," Setie listened to Xiao Mu's words and added.

As they spoke, the three of them also entered the cave. This is a cave that is not particularly large, it is relatively dark, the walls of the cave are uneven, there are a large number of sharp stones hanging upside down on the top of the cave, and the hunters around have lit multiple torches, and the cave looks extremely terrifying under the dim light.

Not surprisingly, the cave must have been inhabited not so long ago, as evidenced by the discarded bedding and charred beast bones beside the cave walls.

In the middle of the cavern, Köster saw a large pentagram symbol. Consistent with Setie's explanation, it was a pentagram that had been dug out of the earth, and the dug ravine, a dark black liquid had solidified and had dried up.

Green was crouching beside the pentagram, wiping some of the dark, dry liquid with his hands, sniffing it near his nose, and then immediately wiped his fingers clean with his clothes. "That's right," Green explained to the group, "and the ravine here is filled with blood, and it's a literal blood array. ”

Xiao Mu was also looking at the five-pointed star painted with blood. In his impression, as a pentagram symbol commonly used in occult astrology, it has never had anything to do with blood, so he can't help but be frightened by such a terrifying picture in such a deep cave.

At the same time, there was a sour and rancid smell in the air of the cave, and in the middle of the pentagram, there was a humanoid trace of blood, as if someone had been thrown in the center of the pentagram, receiving something or some other mysterious practice.

"The smell of dark magic is strong, and someone used this blood array to perform a dark magic ritual here not long ago. After scrutinizing the Blood Formation, Setie spoke to Green in a very soft voice.

"That's right, and most likely, the two guys we met yesterday. Green replied.

"Lord Chief, can the clues here determine the identities of those two people yesterday?" Xiao Mu asked beside him, and at the same time, Koster also nodded secretly, he should also have this question in his heart.

"It's hard to say," Green didn't look back, but walked back to the pile of abandoned household garbage next to the cave wall, rummaging through, "Now I hope that the remnants of this cave will give us some clues that will lead us to catch those two men." I now have a strong premonition that the recent dark magic anomaly in the Sunset Mountains is related to these two people. ”

Under Green's command, the hunters of the Adventurers' Guild sorted and packed the abandoned materials, focusing on collecting the discarded clothing and bedding, etc., and removing the animal bones that had obviously been eaten aside.

At the same time, the magician Seti further examined the pentagram on the ground, recording the characteristics of the pentagram, its size, and the amount of blood on the parchment. Xiao Mu and Kerst couldn't help on the side, so they had to walk out of the cave with Kui Gang, who also couldn't help.

The guards of the Kaman Guard were spreading a guard in the cave at this time, and the three of them found a place to sit and rest, waiting for the adventurers' guild to finish their work.

This time, the mission of the special investigation team is to find the recent dark magic anomalies in the Sunset Mountains, and at the same time, it hopes to find the cause of the frequent occurrence of dark magic anomalies in recent years.

Such a major discovery in this cave should be able to give an account to the adventurer's guild, but it's a pity that the mysterious man named Tucker and his assistant who met before were deceived by them after being fooled in front of many people, otherwise it would be a major breakthrough for the investigation to catch these two people.

While waiting, Mu and Kerst discuss recent discoveries. Xiao Mu believes that this pentagram blood array in the cave should be a mysterious formation, and the dark magician uses this formation to place the animal in the center of the formation, and through the power of dark magic, exert magic on the animal.

This cave is supposed to be the experimental site of this dark magician.

"Mu Gongzi, you're right. And, not just animals, but people. Setie walked out of the cave at this time, she had already finished her investigation, "I just found human hair in the formation of the pentagram, this dark magician, should have done dark magic experiments with humans.

This is also in line with our previous speculation, he first used dark magic to control the crystal nucleus of the lower demon beast, and then he could control the heart of the non-demon beast, and finally it seems that he directly controlled the human mind, which is really terrifying. ”

At the same time, Green finished his work and walked out of the cave, and when he heard Setty's words, he slapped his forehead and said, "I suddenly think that the assistant of the mysterious man named Tucker, who is deaf and dumb and unable to walk, could it be that he is controlled by dark magic?"

"Probably not," Setty replied after a moment's thought, "According to the records of the Great Library of San Jose, the slave prisoners of war controlled by the Magic Empire with magic are very mobile, not as clumsy as that person." ”

San Jose and Xiao Mu glanced at each other, and their hearts were shocked. Green and Setty's speculation is terrifying. If that's the case, that dark mage is probably a great threat to the humans on the continent.
