Chapter 18: A Strange Crystal
"Does Esther have a sense?"
Su Mo, who was holding a long sword, stayed high in the air, closing his eyes and exploring with all his might but not gain the slightest, but the previous almost terrifying fluctuation made him unable to relax his tightly locked eyebrows at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Whether it was the ongoing infiltration near the church, the ridicule of the three fallen angels about his actions, the sound of small insects in the park, and the quarrel between a man and a woman in the house, Su Mo "heard" it clearly, but despite this, there was not a trace of the fleeting but terrifying aura in his consciousness.
"No, nothing happens, but it's certainly not a delusion."
Esther's indifferent voice sounded in Su Mo's mind: "Mo, go and take a look in the forest over there." ”
"Huh?"
Esther was referring to a place that Su Mo's scan hadn't covered, a mountain forest far away from the small city - it was far from the place where he had felt the power fluctuations flickering, but when he spread his spiritual power, "This is ......."
It was very quiet, but unlike the silence of the night, where the wind caressed the leaves and the insects rustled, there was only a dead silence.
The dead silence that doesn't even exist with the sound of insects.

"Hey Transik, you were beaten up like that last time by this guy who ran away halfway? It's a shame. ”
Hotly dressed female fallen angels mock their colleagues unscrupulously.
"Shut up! What are you qualified to say if you haven't experienced it firsthand?! ”
The middle-aged gentleman-like fallen angel was furious: "Damn, that guy actually ignored my existence from beginning to end!" ”
"Alaala, we are obviously in front of you as the main general, but we don't pay attention at all until now? That's ........"
Zhu Nai smiled softly, and with a smile, he pulled out a huge shining thunderbolt from his hand: "Do you want to accept the death penalty, hehe?" ”
"Oh, oops, the juniors are really getting more and more arrogant now, do you really think that we who have participated in the big war are just hundreds of years older than you in vain?!"
Transic condensed a lilac spear of light in his hand - a talent of fallen angels, who even after falling into darkness still wielded the power of light that was as corrosive as a poison to demons.
"After hundreds of years, you still only have two wings, do you have anything else to be proud of other than your age? Or after living for so many years, don't you even understand the truth that strength is everything? ”
Lias crossed her waist with one hand, and the other hand erupted like a flame with a bright red attribute of destruction: "You know, no matter what war, there are a lot of so-called cannon fodder!" And you're nothing more than cannon fodder for those lucky enough to survive, that's all. ”
"A sharp-toothed little girl - use your strength to prove who is the empty eye!!"
"Alaala, I'm really conscious of my age, auntie, be careful of being too old and flashing your waist."
Zhu Nai's face flushed, and she licked her fingertips with a lot of anger - it seems that she has already made up countless scenes of the three fallen angels opposite S in her heart: "Then the president, I'm going to go all out—ah, no, you don't need to go all out to bully these old people, hehe~"

“....... Actually, they are all dead. ”
When Su Mo landed in the woods, the expression on his face became extremely solemn.
"The surrounding mountains and forests within a radius of 10 kilometers have all been confirmed dead, and there is not the slightest sign of life."
There was also a subtle tremor in Esther's indifferent voice.
That's right, this forest is dead, although the leaves are still green, the trunks are still green and straight, and there is even a spider lying on the newly woven cobwebs less than three meters away from Su Mo, but Su Mo is very sure that everything around here has died.
The leaves are green, but they no longer breathe;
The trunk of the tree, though straight, was rotten;
And the lord of the bird, lying in the nest like a sleeping bird, has actually lost the temperature of his soul. Perhaps other travelers who set foot here would think they were still alive, and even the forest thought they were still alive, but in fact they were dead.
"Even the supply of mana has been directly cut off here, and even the land has died with it?"
Take Su Mo as evidence.
For the first time, he felt the feeling of being completely cut off from the supply of power, even in the desert known as the forbidden land of life, after all, even the desert itself was a part of nature. But this place is different, it's completely dead.
"It's like being dug out of the world......"
His expression was a little ugly, and there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart, a very annoying feeling.
"What the hell is going on here......."
Everything was too weird, from the dangerous aura that flashed over the city dozens of kilometers away, to the inexplicable death in this mountain forest far away from people, Su Mo had a feeling of complete incomprehension of the situation for the first time, which made him rarely begin to feel anxious and uneasy in his heart.
But in spite of this, or perhaps because of this, he became more meticulous, roaming the forest, probing everything he felt suspicious, and nothing could appear in the world without leaving the slightest clue.
Even the strongest existence is the same-unless you can directly eat the existence itself like the demon king of a certain red world in a certain world.
The sky paid off, about an hour later
"Is this a (ahem, this should be reread in the fourth tone)?"
Su Mo and Esther squatted in front of a very strange tree with half of its trunk gone, and looked down at the thing in the palm of their hands with even more strange expressions.
It was a few black-gold crystals with irregular shapes, and Su Mo didn't feel any breath from above, but it was very strangely suspended in front of this big tree that had been cut off half of its trunk before—well, it didn't disappear half of the trunk horizontally, but split vertically from top to bottom, and then the other half of the trunk disappeared inexplicably, and the entire cross-section was unusually clear and smooth, as if it had been cut and flattened with a wooden planer.
And after Su Mo approached, the three crystals floating in mid-air fell to the ground as if they had lost their support.
“........ Esther, let's go back and study it first. ”
After frowning and observing for a long time to no avail, Su Mo decisively gave up the treatment, after all, it was obvious that the existence that caused the power fluctuation before had left, and after scanning the entire forest, he only found an anomaly in this one place, he didn't think that there would be any results if he continued to do so.
"Really, it's weird everywhere......."
