Section 12 Gate
Lancelot, who was standing beside the thorny bushes, beckoned, and Chen Yin untied his safety rope. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"You stay here first, I'll go and see." After speaking, without waiting for the others to agree, Chen Yin walked towards Lancelot's side.
Just after taking two steps, there was a sudden fluctuation of soul power behind him, and then there was an extra layer of pale yellow halo on Chen Yin's body.
"Holy Shield?" Chen Yin was stunned for a moment and turned around.
Angel stared at the gray mist on the right with a sideways face, as if studying what was different about the plants there.
Looking at the charm of the silver-haired girl unintentionally, the corners of Chen Yin's mouth curled slightly, and he continued to walk towards Lancelot without saying anything.
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Yin walked up to Lancelot, dissatisfied with the weird smile on his face.
“…… The corners of your mouth are a little cramped, don't worry, Your Excellency. Although Lancelot behaved respectfully, the narrowness in his eyes was so obvious that people couldn't ignore it.
"......" Chen Yin was silent for a moment, and decided not to continue to dwell on this issue, it was too embarrassing.
"Uh...... What is it? It's strange......" Chen Yin pretended to squat down and seriously studied what the black thing on the ground was.
The first few seconds were a bit pretentious, but soon his expression began to become serious, and quickly became cloudy.
After careful observation, he finally determined that the black on the ground was actually a very common substance......
Carbon.
Unburned carbon after combustion.
Gently crushing those small pieces of carbon particles can reveal that the carbon particles have a biological structure inside, and the carbonized cells are stacked on top of each other, and as long as they are gently twisted, they will break into finer carbon particles.
"It's ...... Charcoal? Chen Yin himself was a little unsure.
"It's similar, but it's a little different." Lancelot shook his head.
Chen Yin stood up, pinched the small piece of carbon particle in his hand and fell into deep thought, and did not speak for a long time.
"Hey, how's it going over there?" Aunt Jiya shouted softly.
Lancelot looked at Chen Yin, and after Chen Yin nodded, he beckoned in the direction of Aunt Jiya: "Come here, there's no problem." ”
When several people came, they were also puzzled by the layer of carbon particles on the ground.
"Was there ever a fire here?" Aunt Ji Ya stared at the carbon pellet in her palm and said strangely. However, after she said this, Chen Yin, Angel, and Lancelot looked at him with strange eyes.
"Shhh Uncle Tim couldn't look at it, so he tugged on his aunt's arm and whispered to persuade him.
"What's wrong! How am I ashamed? Look at it, these thorns are so thin, they must have grown later! The old vines must have been burned, otherwise where did they get so much charcoal? So there must have been a fire here! Aunt Jiya concluded.
Uncle Tim held his forehead: "Okay, okay, people have long seen it, but you can't see it if you are the stupidest." ”
"No, what Auntie said makes sense, and she is very meticulous in her observations." Taking advantage of the fact that Aunt Jiya's anger had not yet burned, Chen Yin hurriedly gave Aunt Jiya a step down.
"The plant-based carbon particles and the vines that grew out of them can basically recreate the scene at that time. The question that remains for us, though...... What kind of flame can burn in such a place? ”
In this thick gray mist, it is very difficult for fire to rise, unless soul stones are used as fuel, other ordinary flames will be extinguished as long as the gray mist is gently rolled. In this dead forest of gray mist, fire is something that is strongly repelled.
Before, because the ground was difficult to see, Chen Yin and the others had only made a few simple torches to use. But in fact, as soon as those torches were lit, the gray mist would become thicker, and gently wrap around the dancing flames, and it didn't take more than a minute for the freshly lit torches to be violently extinguished by something transparent.
In such an exclusionary environment, it is basically impossible to ignite the lighting. Even torches can be in this situation, so how can a fire burn? Chen Yin did not believe that any natural phenomenon could ignite such a large area of thorns.
After all, this is a gray mist forest.
Not enough, who can run idle and set fire to this place where birds don't?
“…… So, this carbon is weird. Chen Yin made a summary.
With such a question, Chen Yin and the others slowly continued to walk forward, and it didn't take much effort to see a more shocking scene.
The plain composed of endless thorns suddenly recessed in front of it, and it wasn't until Chen Yin and the others walked over that they found that it was not only recessed, but even a large area of black soil was exposed.
There are a large number of bone fragments buried in the black soil, and in this huge pit, there is also a layer of toner and carbon particles of different thicknesses.
Chen Yin straightened his arm and made a strange gesture, first closed his left eye and looked at it for a while, then opened his left eye and closed his right eye to look at it.
"What are you doing here?" Angel was curious, because Chen Yin's gesture was really too strange.
"I'm estimating the size of this big crater." Chen Yin measured the probe slightly, which was in response to Angel. But his gaze never moved, staring at the big pit in front of him, muttering something in his mouth.
"Well, it's about 800 meters in diameter, and the bottom of the pit seems to be very deep, so I can't see it clearly here." Chen Yin shook his head, turned his head and asked a professional, after all, the Holy Light Church has more research on this gray mist.
"Guys, what do you think of this?" Chen Yin looked at the girl and the uncle and aunt.
Lancelot Chen Yin doesn't count on it, this guy is just running errands for the church, although he knows a lot of things, but he definitely can't touch such a core thing. And Angel, the three of them were all high-level leaders of the Holy Light Church before, so they must have seen more.
"I think ......" Uncle Tim was not sure, and looked at Aunt Giya with an inquiring gaze.
"Well, that's what I thought too." Aunt Jiya inexplicably knew what Uncle Tim wanted to say, and I don't know how many years and how much trust this tacit understanding could be honed.
"Meteorite." Angel thought about it for a moment, and finally she gave the answer.
"You say it's a crater!?" Chen Yin frowned, "If it's a crater, the ratio of this diameter to the depth of the crater is a little inconsistent...... Moreover, the shape of the crater smashed by the meteorite on the ground is basically occasionally elongated by three or five times the shape of a droplet, and this kind of pure circular crater can only form this effect of being close to a perfect circle when it falls vertically from the sky. ”
Chen Yin actually hasn't finished speaking, if it is really a meteorite, the structure of the meteorite has been basically stable after the melting of the ionosphere, and although it will be some temperature when it falls to the ground, it will never bake a large area of gray thorns into charcoal.
"We're talking about cards: Meteorite." Angel laughed.
8-Star City Destruction Card, Meteorite. It can summon a huge flaming meteorite to fall from the sky, which can not only shatter the enemy's flesh with physical impact, but also create a hell on earth at the landing point of the meteorite.
That's just that, but although Angel and others guessed so, it was just a guess after all. Meteorite cards have not appeared in the public eye for more than 5 millennia, and even high-level leaders like Angel are somewhat uneasy when facing meteorite cards.
The 800-meter-diameter crater on the ground silently shows what is happening here.
What makes Chen Yin most strange is why someone would summon a meteorite here?
After a short stay in the crater, with endless doubts, everyone hit the road again. This time it's not so peaceful. Strange bone fragments were everywhere along the way, and carbon marks from the scorched thorns were everywhere.
The further you go, the more "rich" the landscape becomes, with potholes everywhere......
But that soon passed.
Thick and thick brambles slowly filled everything around them again.
After walking for some reason, Lancelot suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? What strange things are you seeing again? Chen Yin asked.
"We ...... It should have arrived. Lancelot looked around, surrounded by thick thorns, showing no sign of civilization.
"Really?" Chen Yin was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how to look at the pathfinding equipment of the Holy Light Church, so he had to hand over the navigation work to Lancelot.
"Of course, that's what the map says." Lancelot calculated the distance and direction again, and said, "Don't worry, even if it's biased, it won't be too far away." ”
"......" Chen Yin fell silent.
A thousand years ago, when the Prophet stood here and found out, he must have discovered the entire Golden City, and if the direction was correct, even if it was blocked by these thorny vines, it would have left some traces, right?
But there was nothing.
In addition to mud on the ground, there are barbs falling off thorns, not to mention the Golden City, and there is not even the slightest trace of civilization to be found.
Could it be that you are really going in the wrong direction?
Chen Yin couldn't help but start to doubt......
At this time, Chen Yin suddenly felt a strong soul fluctuation again. Turning his head, he just saw two soul stones detached from the silver-haired girl's card ring, turning into a strange symbol in the girl's voice.
"Farah." Angel's index finger touched the floating symbol, and the symbol came to life on its own, making its way through the forest of thorns.
"Quick, keep up." Angel took the lead in catching up, and although Chen Yin was a little confused, it was always right to keep up.
However, everyone didn't run far, and after about 100 meters, everyone was blocked by the unusually dense thorn vines.
Angel summoned a symbol that didn't wait for Chen Yin at all, and he plunged into the layers of dense thorns.
Standing in this thorny bush coiled together like a snake, Chen Yin's face suddenly became a little strange.
"Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?" Lancelot hurriedly asked.
“…… Don't you think there's something strange about these vines and thorns? Chen Yin's face was a little gloomy.
"Uh...... Hasn't the gray mist thorns always looked like this? Lancelot was stunned, a little bit what Chen Yin meant.
"Do you think these thorns look like tentacles?"
"Well, it's a bit ...... you say that," Lancelot said suddenly, "Ah! I remembered that there was something wrong with that place...... These vine thorns look like the Death Thorns summoned by your Death Bloom card? ”
"yes, that's what I'm worried about." Chen Yin casually pulled out the Death Bloom, looked at the realistic patterns on the card surface, and looked at the snake-like entrenched thorn bushes in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more he felt like it.
“…… Throw something in and try it. Chen Yin summoned a supply crate and took out a previously hunted avian prey from it and handed it to Lancelot.
In addition to mud on the ground, there are barbs falling off thorns, not to mention the Golden City, and there is not even the slightest trace of civilization to be found.
Could it be that you are really going in the wrong direction?
