Chapter 438: Traces of the Vanishing Mage

Although Benjamin had all kinds of doubts in his heart, but now that the movement was so big, he was afraid that he would attract something again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info So, after disposing of the bear carcass, they quickly left the area.

The bear corpse was too huge, and they had never encountered a magical beast of this size. Therefore, they had to collect some blood and fur, and the rest was difficult to pluck out, and Benjamin had to give up and throw them there.

And on the way to transfer.

"Where the hell did this crystal ball come from?"

Wallis's voice was also helpless: "Teacher, I told you everything. Someone else donated it to us, and the other person didn't know what was going on with it. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he could only hold the crystal ball and take a deep breath.

Until now, he couldn't quite understand how this thing worked, but the only thing he knew was that it was extremely destructive. The bear's fur and flesh were very hard—they had felt it when they were handling the carcass, but it was as fragile as tofu when it came to this tiny crystal ball.

What exactly is at work? Purely physical impact, or is it accompanied by some abnormal elemental effect?

He had also observed the small hole in the bear's chest, if anything, it was like a person being shot through the chest, and the powerful impact went directly through the lobes of the lungs and the heart - I have to say, Benjamin's luck report, this solid ball was thrown strangely accurately, and it could be scored full points.

Therefore...... Just looking at the wound should be a purely physical impact. But Benjamin felt that something was not right.

He couldn't figure it out.

"Teacher, that ...... Don't keep holding this crystal ball. Suddenly, Wallis came up again and said tremblingly, "Everyone is a little scared when they see you holding this thing, afraid that you will accidentally throw it out again." ”

Benjamin came back to his senses, glanced at the trembling mages behind him, and smiled dumbly.

Well, this thing is really dangerous, too.

In desperation, he could only put the crystal ball into a special box, which was padded with thick cotton, otherwise he would bump and bump along the way, and his mages had been uneasy, afraid that they would have a nervous breakdown.

After the study for now, it was time for them to consider the situation of the mountain range.

They had only been walking in for a few hours, and they were still on the outskirts of the mountain range, and they had already encountered this level of demonic beasts. Benjamin couldn't help but hesitate a little if they wanted to go deeper.

It's not that I'm afraid of accidents, it's just that if the Candela Mountains are so dangerous, the chances of a mage hiding here will be greatly reduced.

Without a mage, what would Benjamin be looking for here?

"Teacher, look there!"

As he thought this, Frank suddenly pointed to a few small dirt bags in the bushes in front of him and exclaimed.

Benjamin looked over there as well.

On the side of the sloping and winding mountain road, those protrusions look extremely conspicuous, as if they have only recently been made. There is a bunch of picked wildflowers on the edge of the dirt bag, which have completely withered at the moment, and I don't know how long it has been there.

Suddenly, Benjamin's heart moved.

Instead of digging up the dirt bag, he sensed it with the water element. I saw that under the soil bag, there were several white bones buried, and some broken pieces of cloth were attached, which may have been the clothes of the deceased before his death.

It's a grave.

Judging by the newness of the soil, this is still a new grave, and it may have been buried in the past few months.

...... Could it be a mage hiding in the mountains?

Benjamin wasn't sure either. It's just that as soon as he felt hesitant because of these things, a clue appeared in front of him, as if there was something in the dark that wanted him to go deeper into this mountain range.

There is no doubt that these new tombs prove that there are people passing by in the mountains, and that they are civilized humans who can bury people and offer flowers, and there is a high probability that they are mages. Even if you are not a mage, you may be some kind of master who lives in seclusion in the mountains.

They could have gone over and inquired.

After thinking about it, Benjamin told the system to start paying attention to the footprints around them, and they continued to walk on. Soon, the system did find some clues. Strips of cloth scraped off branches, traces of camping, household garbage thrown in the grass, and even some traces of fights and potholes blasted by magic...... There is no doubt that there are people passing through this area.

And these clues converge and converge into a route, stretching deep into the mountains.

Benjamin finally made up his mind.

After leaving the mainstream view of Carretus, there were indeed a few mages who walked into the Candela Mountains, and there could be quite a few of them. They fought monsters along the way, some were killed, but many more went into the depths of the mountains.

How so...... These people's determination to live in seclusion is really firm!

Thinking of this, Benjamin no longer hesitated. What is there to be afraid of the monster? He did not take his men back halfway, but followed these traces all the way.

Over the next few days, they encountered five or six waves of demonic beasts. However, like the previous giant bear-level existence, they had never seen it again. Benjamin couldn't help but wonder if that giant bear would be an existence like the Warcraft Lord in this area, and unless he entered a new area, he wouldn't encounter any more powerful guys.

Benjamin is not worried about Warcraft, with that crystal ball here, it is a good thing to have another powerful Warcraft to practice.

And so, after a few days, they gradually descended deeper into the Candela Mountains.

"The clue disappeared when it got to the front. ”

The system suddenly reminded him.

When Benjamin heard this, he also stopped and walked around. There is nothing special about the surrounding environment, and there are not many magical beasts, but as the system said, the walking traces they found all the way suddenly disappeared.

Where did those mages go?

It was already approaching night, so Benjamin decided to set up camp here first, and also look for clues nearby, and then set off tomorrow.

So, the team of 100 mages stopped here. Benjamin, on the other hand, walked alone towards the place where the traces had disappeared.

It was a huge rock, and there were a few traces of a campfire on the ground beside the rock. The marks looked faint, at least from a month ago.

Benjamin walked over to the edge of the rock and looked around.

The forest was quiet, the breeze was blowing, rustling, and there was hardly any sign of demonic activity. The nearby elementals are particularly active, and it seems that this is a special kind of elemental activity zone.

Suddenly, he found a strange fragment at his feet.

"What is this?" he picked up the debris.

Gray-white shards, no bigger than a fingernail, with sharp edges, as if they had been peeled from top of something. Benjamin looked at it for a moment, and suddenly it seemed like the bones of some creature.

Bone fragments......

Was there a fight here?

Benjamin had a bad premonition. The traces disappeared here, don't tell him that it was because the mages were wiped out in this place.

As for the absence of traces of battle...... If the attack on the Demonic Beast is special, or if it is some strange illusion-type Demonic Beast, it is not impossible for the mages to be unprepared and suddenly attacked.

Thinking so, Benjamin suddenly became a little worried.

"Everything I'm seeing now is real, not an illusion, right?" he asked in his mind.

"It's true. The system replied indifferently, "But...... Who knows? If there's something so powerful that you've fooled me, there's no way I'm going to know for sure. ”

"Then you activate the state of nothingness again. ”

Last time in that valley of the abyss, he fell into a sinister hallucination, and finally activated a void and came out of the hallucination. In his opinion, the state of nothingness may have something to do with the inner world and the elemental plane, and it is impossible for a mere illusion to deceive it.

The system didn't say anything, activating a second of nothingness. After nothingness, everything was still the same, nothing changed, and Benjamin was sure that he was not hallucinating.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he thought too much...... Actually, the Candela Mountains are not that dangerous, so he should not scare himself.

After thinking about it, Benjamin put away the bone fragments, looked up again, and looked around.

However, as soon as he looked up, not far ahead, in the dim forest, he saw a miserable white face.
