By the time he returned to the waterfall below, it was already getting dark.

Loki began to notice signs of animals by the waterhole, but a few of them looked like moose-like animals, not fierce carnivores.

But it was not ruled out that there were other dangerous animals, and he searched carefully along the cliff beside the waterhole, but he did not expect to make an unexpected discovery.

Beneath the mountain wall, he saw a hidden cave.

Loki crept closer, the entrance to the cave was just over a man's height, one side of the stone wall was not easy to spot, he carefully watched some of the ground around him, and found no trace of the footprints of other beasts.

The optic nerve image shows a dark green cave with a stone wall, and in the depths of the cave the green is darker and the image becomes darker and blurry.

His low-light visual image optimization is not omnipotent, unlike the natural night eyes of some creatures, and it needs to rely on a little light to see more clearly.

The cave was not a direct one, and Loki cautiously leaned into it, turning a few more times but vaguely found that there was something on the ground, not a dirt slope and a rock wall.

The glimmer of light was no longer clear, and when he looked closer, he saw that it was a human corpse, a young man in a dark robe who couldn't see his face.

The cause of death was supposed to be in his chest, as if he had been hit by something, and it was obvious that a circle of sternum had collapsed.

Although the limbs and muscles of the corpse were stiff, the skin did not decay at all, and it did not appear to have been dead for long.

Loki's heart lifted, he carefully looked in the cave, the cave is almost at the end here, there are no other creatures except himself, there is a little bonfire and traces of human activity in the cave, but what is the identity of this person?

Or was he killed by something? Loki was eager to find out.

It's not that he's curious, it's that the Forest of Secret Words is full of strange dangers, and he must be vigilant to avoid the same fate as this dead human being.

Carefully rummaging through the corpse, Loki found that he couldn't find any clue items in his robes, not even a single coin, and it was obvious that someone else had taken them.

Eventually, he found the corpse in a clenched fist, and it seemed that there was something inside, and Loki took a lot of effort to break open the corpse's stiff fingers, and found that it was a metal nameplate.

This nameplate is not large, and it is tied with a leather rope, which should be an ornament that was hung around the neck before.

It was too dark for Loki to look too closely, and the plate was delicate to the touch of his palm, as if it was engraved with an intricate image.

Loki put the nameplate away, and carefully closed the corpse's fist again.

There is no need to guess anything, he was definitely not killed by creatures such as forest poisoning insects and beasts, his killer took all his belongings, and left calmly, and he didn't leave for too long.

Be careful in the future, Loki's vigilance has risen.

It was already night, and Loki didn't plan to look for another campsite, but found a dry stone platform in the cave, threw a little hay and planned to rest directly.

Although the cave is somewhat shady, in order to reduce the possible danger, Loki does not plan to start a fire.

Being in the same dark cavern as a corpse, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't have any fear.

Loki lay down on his back, the dark green walls of the cave in his field of vision, and after thinking about it, he got up and covered the young dead man's face with the rag that wrapped his bag.

At night, the cave was quiet, and with the exception of the sound of the waterfall, Loki was able to rest peacefully.

Consciousness controls the optic nerve to display images, and he pays a little attention to his physical attribute data.

Power: 0.33

Dexterity: 1.24

Constitution: 0.56

Perception: 1.83

Accuracy: 1.60

(The average value of the average adult is 1, and this data is the limit value, which is not affected by the abnormal state of the body)

The height of 166.1cm has increased a little, and the weight of 35.8kg has become lighter, and now he is thin and thin, fortunately, his physical talent is not bad, although he has been a little malnourished, but the development is basically healthy.

In terms of comprehensive attribute data on optic nerve images, the perception has increased the most, which may be caused by the continuous optimization of visual images, sound wave jerks and tactile senses, agility is temporarily stagnant, and accuracy has been steadily and slowly improving.

After thinking for a while, fatigue gradually set in, and Loki finally fell into a deep sleep.

......

I don't know how long it has been, and suddenly there is a flash of light at the entrance of the cave, followed by the sound of footsteps stepping on gravel at the entrance of the cave.

The footsteps grew louder and louder, apparently not deliberately concealed, and in the depths of the dark cavern, Loki's gray eyes opened suddenly.

A moment ago, he was still in a daze of sleep, and after the sonic hearing system gave a warning, the half-elf boy immediately woke up.

The footsteps at the entrance of the cave drew nearer, and Loki hurriedly glanced in the darkness and was immediately startled at the sight of the tattered linen covering the face of the young corpse.

He put away the sackcloth as quickly as he could, and at once restored the rest of the cave to its original state as much as possible.

His rapid movements were almost perfectly combined with basic stealth, without making a sound.

The moment Loki hurriedly hid behind a stone wall, the light of the torches immediately danced, illuminating the depths of the cave where the half-elf boy had just stayed.

Loki didn't dare to look up, just tried to keep his breath down, hiding himself and waiting for the other party to leave.

The footsteps of the comer were heavy and powerful, like that of an adult in a pair of hard leather shoes, and the sound stopped near the location of the corpse, and Loki could guess it with his ears alone.

"Mir...... Sen, I'll come back to see you. ”

The voice was hoarse, as if his fingernails were scratching on the top of the iron sheet, which made Loki frown when he heard it, and besides, it was difficult for the murderous guy to run back, what did he not say?

"You're the teacher's best apprentice, Milson, and want to compete with me for that noteworthy fortune, so I can't keep you. ”

"Besides, I can't let the old fellow of the academy overseer find you, I'm going to let you ...... Completely gone!"

After speaking, there was a sound of a strange soo, as if the comer was digging something, and then he was heard to put down the torch in his hand.

Suddenly, the man's hoarse voice uttered an obscure and esoteric incantation that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Why is it a spell, when the first character of the voice began to be pronounced, Loki only felt a creepy feeling in his body, like a sense of fear from an ordinary soul.

There was something incredible about the incantation, he was convinced in his heart.

Is this an evil witch? an evil wizard who makes ordinary people smell and turn their colors?

Loki's thoughts were racing, and at the same time, he forced down the discomfort in his heart, carefully holding his breath to minimize the possibility of his exposure.

After the sound of the spell of the suspected evil wizard ended, another 'sand, sand' sound suddenly came.

The sound sounded familiar, like the sound of countless beetles crawling past and gnawing on their mouthparts.
