Chapter Seventy-Four: The Source of the Plague
Alice walks out of the door of the small hotel and reappears on the bustling street, looking for the target of the mission.
Since she didn't wear a hat today, her angelic face attracted many crowds of onlookers, but no one came to her for help. After sitting by a small pool in the city for a long time, nothing was gained.
"Ah, it's boring. ”
Alice sighed, walked to a tavern called Morning Light, and sat down. As soon as she entered the door of the tavern, a Terran boy took the initiative to greet her, and his costume should be that of the shop.
"Beautiful Miss Nun, what do you need?"
The Terran boy asked enthusiastically with the tray.
"Please bring me a glass of cold milk. ”
Alice said as she sat on a chair next to the bar in the Terran Tavern.
"Please, your milk. ”
The Terran man poured out a glass of milk from the large wooden barrel behind him, and used a small magic guide to shine it at the milk cup, and several floating ice cubes immediately appeared in the milk cup. Alice reached out and took the milk and drank it, this is Alice's favorite drink in the Terran City, but as soon as the milk was eaten today, Alice's strange feeling came out again.
"It's strange that today's milk is so bad, no, no, it's the damn feeling again. ”
Alice thought with some annoyance.
"Hey, Tom, have you heard? Just outside of our city, in the northern mountains, there's a plague. Even the Church of the Dawn sent people, but they were still helpless. ”
Alice's extraordinary hearing heard the sound of a Terran Khan talking to his companion again.
"Oh, really, are there many people who get sick?"
Tom asked his companion.
"I heard that it's about to spread to the city, and I'm about to leave tomorrow.
When Alice heard this, she didn't continue to listen, she drank all the milk in one go, threw a few copper plates to the hotel owner, and hurried away.
"This may be an opportunity. ”
Alice walked as she thought, and gradually and unconsciously she ran faster and faster, and finally gradually turned into a white figure, and the guards at the city gate did not even see what she looked like before they saw a white light disappear before their eyes.
"Huh, am I running too fast?"
Alice had been running for about five minutes, and by the time she came back to her senses, she was out of the city, into the grove outside the city.
"Forget it, no one sees it anyway. ”
Alice stretched out the angel wings behind her back, and the wings glowed with golden light, and flew up. The wind whistled past her ears, and Alice felt a sense of pleasure she had never felt before. The feeling of flying freely on her own wings was truly indescribable, and she flew like a goshawk into the high clouds, then spread her wings and glided down.
Flying through this grove, there is a huge plain in front of you, the ground on the plain is undulating, and you can vaguely see the houses of the human race, some of which are still rising black smoke next to them and seem to be burning something. Alice flew towards the smoke, and when she was near, she found a corner and landed, and walked over on foot. As she walked forward, a startling sight appeared in front of her. Sparsely populated and desolate slum villages of Terran thatched huts, a Terran holding the corpses of their loved ones and throwing them into the huge fire, from which the plume of smoke Alice had just seen in the sky came out. Alice's presence caught their attention, and the Terran villagers gathered around her, asking Alice for help.
"Look, it's a nun of the church. The church finally sent someone to save us. ”
A large crowd of Terran villagers gathered around.
"Beautiful Miss Nun, please save us, our village has been attacked by the plague, please save us. ”
The Terran villagers all knelt beside Alice and said, they gossiping about what had happened to them.
"Please be quiet, and you can send a representative to talk to me. I'll do my best to help you. ”
The Terran villagers fell silent when they heard Alice's words, and an old man with gray hair came out of them and said to Alice.
"Beautiful nun, I am the head of this village, let me tell you, just a month ago, the village of Sigantu, which lives in the northern part of the Yaksa Plain, was the first to be hit by the plague, and then it quickly spread to us. ”
Alice listened to what had happened, and said to the village chief.
"Mr. Village Chief, can you take me to see your food and water sources?"
Alice judged that this so-called plague was actually an infectious disease, but it was not effectively treated, resulting in a large number of deaths. In the case of general plagues, the main sources of infection are food and water. Alice was led by the village chief through a path to a small rushing river outside the village.
"This is the source of water that our village usually drinks. ”
Alice had just approached the river, and the Angel Clan's feeling made her feel a strong evil aura in the river, and she also smelled a faint smell of blood in the river. (Since she's now a high-level bloodline, she's particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.) )
"I think I've found the reason. ”
Alice said as she looked at the rushing river.
"Miss Nun, what have you discovered?"
The village chief asked with concern.
"The cause of your illness is this river, you should go back first, don't come here to drink water in the future, I will investigate this matter clearly." ”
Alice said solemnly to the village chief.
"Thank you, Miss Nun. ”
The chief returned to the village with his villagers, while Alice continued her way up the river. Gradually, she reached no man's land, spread her wings again, and continued to fly towards the upper reaches of the river. She could feel the smell of blood in the river and the disgusting smell of evil growing. After flying for about two hours, gradually the river converged in all the tributaries in front of Alice's eyes. Alice continued to fly upstream, and a mountain about 200 meters high gradually appeared in front of her, and the source of the river disappeared into a cave deep in the mountain forest. Alice walked cautiously and turned the exit of the cave, and a shocking sight appeared in front of Alice, in the middle of the cave was still the source of the river that was carrying water from the outside. On both sides of the river, stumps and severed arms and human corpses were flowing blood into the river. Alice turned away from the bodies, she held her breath and walked on, as she heard some strange sounds with her keen hearing, and she walked in the direction from which they came. Ahead is a mountain wall, and the ground of the mountain wall reflects an eerie green light. The strange sound came from within. Just as Alice was approaching the inside of the cave, she suddenly heard a gentle sound of wind coming from the side, getting closer and closer to her, and Alice did not hesitate to retreat.
"Bang, click. ”
A huge scorpion tail with a diameter of 2 meters stuck to the ground where Alice was standing just now, and a large hole was directly smashed into the mountain wall by the scorpion tail. Alice looked up to see a huge black scorpion about 30 meters long entrenched above the rock face. Alice gasped, if she had taken a slow step, she might have been smashed into a patty. (But she didn't know it at the moment, and now she was powerful.) Seeing that the blow missed, the giant scorpion swung its huge left pincer and threw it at Alice. Alice dodged easily, and another large crater appeared in the ground. The giant scorpion swung its right pincer and threw it at Alice again, Alice dodged easily again, and the giant scorpion shook its huge tail and pierced Alice again, this time very fast. Alice dodged, the giant scorpion smashed the mountain wall frantically, and Alice dodged lightly.
Huge craters appeared on the mountain walls under the ravages of giant scorpions. Just then, a hoarse voice came out.
"Stop, my little Charles, don't treat our guests like this. ”
The giant scorpion stopped attacking.
"Smack, smack, smack. ”
At this moment, there was a clear sound of footsteps in the quiet cave, and a figure limped out from behind the mountain wall and gradually appeared in front of Alice.
(Who is this strange figure, he is able to control such a ferocious giant scorpion, please pay attention to Chapter 75 of the Legend of the Moon Warrior.) )
