"Qilihe Village, originally there were only 100 households, with a population of less than 500 people, it was originally very poor, it was not suitable for farming, the villagers lived by fishing, and they would also go to the mountains to hunt some game, but the mountains were too small, and there were few wild animals in it. Thirty years ago, a villager picked up a piece of ore in the mountains, and since then it has been known that there is a rich mine of pure gold in the hills. ”

Adamantite is the most needed resource in the Empire, and it is extremely valuable, and is the favorite of all magicians and alchemists. Since the discovery of the mine, a large number of people have come to Qilihe Village, and the life of the villagers has been getting better and better.

At its peak, there were more than 6,000 people in Qilihe Village, and the villagers relied on this pure gold mine to become very wealthy. But twenty-five years ago, strange things began to happen.

First, there was a corpse of the people in the mine, the body was a miner in the mine, and no one cared about this kind of thing, but the mine was not exhausted, nor was he crushed to death in the mine, and his body was covered with small wounds, and he was murdered.

Local officials, sheriffs, and others went to the scene to see it, but they couldn't see how the wounds were formed, they were all small scars, and the wounds were a quarter the size of a finger.

From this day on, several people died every day, and at most, dozens of people died a day, but no one appeared around the mine, and the claw marks of the beasts could never be so small.

Rumors abound, some say it was a miracle, others said it was murder, and the aim was to get the gold mine alone. There are not many people who believe in the former statement, since people have discovered the mine, the gods should not intervene, although the pure gold mine is precious, it has been found all over the mainland.

As more and more people died, no one was willing to go up the hill to mine, and in the two months before and after, the death toll rose to more than 2,000.

The Adamantite Mines are one of the Empire's vital resources, and the Mayan Empire has sent a group of powerhouses, consisting of a mid-level Magister and three Martial Saints. The four strong men lived on the mountain for seven days, and the death was still there, but nothing was found. In the end, the Magister asserted that this series of deaths was caused by a small beast.

This assertion was a sensation, everyone knows that Warcraft will not leave the Demon Forest, Qilihe Village is not far from the Demon Forest, only ten kilometers away, but it is still impossible to have Warcraft, even if you enter the Demon Forest for dozens of kilometers, it is impossible to see Warcraft.

In the end, the matter was settled, and the Magister's assertion was overturned, and there was no way to find out what kind of creature the murderer was. I had to abandon this quate gold mine, only those outlaw mercenary groups would occasionally appear here.

All the miners were evacuated, but death did not leave the village. The people of the village began to die, and fear spread like a plague through the village, even in the town thirty kilometers away. The village chief, whose life had begun to become rich, began to move away one by one, and within a few days, Qilihe Village became an uninhabited village.

At that time, Maya's family consisted of only her parents and Leah, and she became the only one in the village who did not move away. It's not that I don't want to move, but in the past few days, Maya's mother is about to give birth, and there is no way to move at all.

Maya's mother's condition is not very good, labor pains have lasted for seven days and seven nights, but she has never been able to give birth to Maya. The family stayed in the bedroom, brought food, and prepared to leave the village as soon as Maya was born.

Maya was not born, but the water in the room had been drunk, and a lot of hot water was needed during the birth, so Maya's father had to go out of the bedroom, but never returned.

With Maya's father silently dying, Maya fell to the ground, and Liya at that time was already panicking. Her mother was bleeding profusely after giving birth to Maya, and Liya, who was still a little girl at the time, didn't know what to do with it.

When Lu Lingfeng arrived, Maya's mother had died of blood loss, and Lu Lingfeng left Qilihe Village with the two sisters and never went back.

After listening to Maya's narration, Feleg said: "The first stop, go to the Qili River, I want to see what it is, the demonic beasts should be unlikely, they will not run out of the demonic forest." ”

Maya hesitated for a moment and nodded, she left her hometown since she was a child, she had no impression of Qilihe Village, and there was no homesickness. But this kind of strange thing, she also wants to find the answer, at least to find the murderer of her father, in order to comfort her father's soul in the sky.

Bidding farewell to his family and teacher, Beka, the two headed west. It was not set off with the army, there was a hurricane, and the speed was very fast, and it used to take a month or two to walk, and it was completed in less than ten days, and this was not a full speed rush. Anyway, it's a travel mission, so there's no need to rush too much.

Who would have thought that thirty years ago, this place was once the largest pure gold mine in the Mayan Empire.

"Do you remember where your home is?" asked Feleg, twenty years later, and it was a barren mountain, thirty kilometers from the nearest village. In the small village of the past, only broken bricks and tiles remain.

Shaking her head, she had just been born at that time, how could she know which house her home was, these houses had already collapsed, and the bricks and stones were mixed together, even if she knew, it was not easy to tell them. Moreover, there is no point in doing so, everything is already in the past.

From the head of the village, you can see the Qili River not far away. The river is about fifteen meters wide, the water volume is not very large, it is very smooth, and it is said that the water is so deep that small boats can be carried on the river. The original Qilihe Village relied on this small river to feed the whole village. It can still be seen that the small dock, which has long been rotten, cannot be seen by a single ship.

"Is that the hill?" said Feleg, pointing to the mountain to the south.

"I guess, there's like there's only one mountain here. Maya said, she didn't know where the Adamantite Mine was.

"Let's take a look. "The hurricane ran towards a hill not far away.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a huge sign, the wooden board that makes the brand, has been somewhat rotten, the words on the wooden sign are still faintly visible, it is nothing more than saying that there are monsters on the mountain, warning people, do not go up the mountain, otherwise they will die or something like that, and the following payment is a security club.

Halfway up the mountain, Feleg turned around and asked, "Is anyone still here now?"

"There should be, it is said that there are many magicians who will come here to mine some fine gold ore in person, but there are many fewer ores, and you can only find some in the depths of the mine. There are also quite a few mercenaries who have come to try their luck, most of them have died here, and it seems that decades have passed, and the monsters here are still killing people. Maya said that these were all messages she had heard from her sister Leah. Leah has lived here since she was a child, and she has a deep memory of the village.

"What's wrong?" Maya noticed that Feleg seemed to be looking for something.

"If you look at the ground, it looks like a person's footprints, and this mountain is full of plants, and if no one walks for half a month, the footprints will be covered by the newly grown grass. Feleg said.

After listening to Feleg's words, Maya took a closer look, and sure enough, not far in front, she found a row of footprints, which appeared from time to time, and it seemed that it had been a while. If Feleg judged correctly, the person who went up the mountain should be within half a month, five to ten days ago.

"There were no footprints down the mountain. Maya said after a moment of observation.

Feleg nodded, patted the hurricane's neck, and the speed immediately increased a lot, but the wind beast was not suitable for mountain roads, and Feleg still felt a little slow.

As they reached the top of the mountain, the hurricane stopped, and the two jumped down and walked briskly forward. The camp was empty, the tents had fallen to the ground, and there were a few piles of black, charred wood from the burning bonfires around it.

In the middle of the camp, there were two corpses, the corpses had begun to decompose, and a large swarm of flies were flying next to the corpses, and the two of them ran all the way, and the flies flew in all directions.

Feleg blessed himself with a magic shield first, and then sent out a small wind spell, but unfortunately the stench came from the corpse, and the wind spell could not blow the stench away, so it could only reduce the smell slightly.

Maya covers her nose with her left hand and holds a sword in her right hand to protect her, it seems that there is no danger here, but in the wild, anything can happen, and a team of more than two people must have a clear division of labor. The two have been together for a long time, and there is no need to explain at all, and they each do their jobs.

The corpse was still wearing armor, there were no obvious scars on the neck and body, and there were already small holes all over the face, and the holes had festered, and the young chrysalis of the fighting flies were crawling in and out of it, looking extremely disgusting.

Fortunately, he saw a lot of corpses, but Feleg didn't care about this, took out his broadsword, cut the armor on the corpse, and the body was covered with the same small holes, but unfortunately it took too long, so he couldn't see the original appearance of the wound.

The two withdrew a few dozen meters away, and Feleg said: "It should be the kind of injury you said, the degree of decomposition of the corpse is relatively high, it should be more than seven days, and the original appearance of the wound can no longer be seen." ”

Maya nodded, looked at Feleg and asked, "Are we going to continue?"

"Of course. Feleg nodded firmly, this kind of thing looks weird, even the strong are not willing to touch this kind of thing, so the strong man sent by the Mayan Empire back then only checked it hastily, and finally made an unreasonable judgment and left.

However, from the analysis of that incident, it seems that the murderer will not attack the strong, the four strong men, who lived in the mountain for seven days and did nothing, but people still keep dying, which is a little unreasonable. With the abilities of the Magister and the Martial Saint, no matter what wind and grass are within a kilometer around, it is impossible to escape their ears and eyes.

"Is it a human or an animal, or is it a monster?" asked Maya.

"The possibility of Warcraft is almost non-existent, and the reason goes without saying. The possibility of people is also very small, it was the Magister who came here to check back then, even if it was a Dharma Saint, it was impossible to kill people silently and escape, at least there would be some traces to be found, and animals were the most likely. Feleg thought for a moment and said.
