Chapter Eighty-Three: The Body Hanging on the Stone Statue

The forest full of life breath at this time did not look like it had experienced the baptism of a light rain with the smell of blood, although the smell of blood still felt a little like nothing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After making sure that there were no other anomalies around the cave, Horst led the group to the Summoning Mage Canyon. He was still thinking about yesterday's cry for help, and it seemed that he had hallucinated yesterday.

Walking on the road, everyone kept joking and relaxing their mood, and the clouds of the past few days had long since dispersed.

When they reached the mouth of the summoning mage canyon, the group stopped.

"Are you going in together?" Horst asked, Dominic and a few others who weren't summoners.

"Let's go inside, it's boring for us to stay outside anyway, after all, the mage competition is all about cooperation between team members. It is said that it is cooperation, but in fact, it is more like a process of getting acquainted with each other and integrating with each other. Moria's words spoke to Horst's heart, and after a few days of getting along, Horst could clearly feel that the seven members were more trusting and familiar with each other. Although, the nightingale is cold and still a little out of place, but compared to before, there are still many improvements, at least, Horst thinks so, and feels this way.

This time it was a careful exploration, but I had only hurriedly skipped the summoning mage canyon before, and found out the general situation inside, but I didn't explore it in depth and carefully.

Inside the canyon, the stone statue is still there.

"What do these statues represent?" Horst walked over to the first statue, which looked almost toothy and clawed. It is said that it is a few stone balls, which are connected to several other stone balls.

The stone balls are of different sizes and are connected in a certain way, and they are all connected by thin and short stone pillars. These stone statues are embedded in the stone wall. It is not so much embedded in the stone wall as it is carved from the stone wall.

The nameless stone statues are all connected in different ways, and Horst used a bat to represent these models, recording them one by one.

"It's like a ball and stick model of an organic compound molecule from a previous life. Horst thought to himself, brushing aside the moss and some vine-like plants on the stone wall, and looking at the stone statue inside. The stone balls vary in size, but they are orderly.

"It's kind of like crop circles. Horst thought to himself that in his previous life, in a certain country, there was often a phenomenon of crop circles, and the circles were also of different sizes.

"There's a situation over there, Horst!" Mo Xunyun panted and ran over, patted Horst on the shoulder, and pointed in a direction with one hand.

Horst frowned, got up and walked quickly in that direction.

"Another mysterious corpse?" Horst was horrified, "Is this a coincidence?"

"Did you just have one?" Horst was about to ask, but then shook his head, "I didn't see this young man's body just now, why did it suddenly appear now?"

Summoning the Mage Canyon, the field of vision is still relatively wide, this place is not far from the location of the stone statue that Horst just recorded, and the situation here can be clearly seen there. Moreover, Horst did take a look at here just now, and there was obviously no foreign object, but in just ten minutes, this situation would occur?

The body of the man in front of him was hanging on a stone pillar. It wasn't so much a hanging as a stone pillar passing directly through his ribcage. There was also a round stone ball on the ground, constantly rolling. This stone statue is more special, it is embedded in the stone wall, but stands in front of the stone wall, although there is also a groove in the corresponding place. The man's clothes were a little tattered, his face was full of horror, and blood fell to the ground trickling down the stone pillar.

Horst tiptoed forward to inspect the man's body, his brow furrowed.

"Fresh blood, tattered clothes, vanished backpacks, and vanished teleportation stones, this is not a coincidence!" Horst muttered, "Who can do this, kill a person in just ten minutes, and hang here without any sound." ”

"I just wanted to take a look at the landslide at the exit over there, and when I walked here, I found this body. Mo Xunyun gestured at a distance, and said with some panting, although the warrior's body was strong enough, but under this short period of wild running, it would indeed affect him.

Moria had been taken away by Horst to take Nightingale to the distance, this was a corpse, nothing new, and it was better not to let a weaker woman like Lia come into contact with it.

"What do you think, from the analysis I just made. Horst's face was very ugly, full of doubts, "This corpse is still just dead, or not a few minutes. ”

"The way of death, a fatal blow, this stone pillar, completely shattered his heart. Horst looked at the blackened blood on the ground, and then at the man's clothing, "It's still a member of the Zaga Empire's warband, it feels a little strange." ”

"It stands to reason that the personnel of the Saga Empire's warring team should have walked out of the Summoning Mage Canyon, or have already moved forward. Dennis scratched his cheeks, he struggled to think of something.

"No, everything we judged was wrong, and if I'm not mistaken, these corpses will appear in every mage ruin. Horst propped his chin and gradually moved away from the mysterious man's corpse in front of him, "Maybe it's a coincidence, but it shouldn't be such a deliberate coincidence." Don't you notice that this pillar, and the pillar behind it, are also in the shape of a cross if you look at it from all other angles?"

Under Horst's reminder, the rest of the people took a closer look, and their brows became more and more furrowed.

"Yes, like that. ”

"It's greasy, can it be said ......?"

"It's true, it was a premeditated event. In Horst's mind, a series of clues were connected, "If all the members of the Saga Empire clan are imprisoned behind the scenes of this incident, then every time we pass by the mage ruins, such corpses will appear, it can only be said that we are being targeted by someone." ”

"Targeted? Unlikely? We don't seem to have offended anyone. "Dominic made a gesture, and that gesture was a tribute to the deceased.

Horst also knew that his team couldn't have offended anyone, so he didn't say anything more.

"Then what next?" Mo Xunyun asked, "Or bury him?"

"No, just leave it here. Horst's words made everyone a little stunned.

"Eh, aren't you afraid that his corpse will be eaten by vultures?" Dennis laughed, then a little more serious, "Horst, I've been worried about something. ”

"I'm worried too. The others, including Horst, said in unison.

"Let's get out of here. Horst didn't have time to think about it, it was obvious that someone was doing such a thing, and that he had succeeded in ten minutes without realizing it, which could only mean one thing, and the people of Horst were in a state of extreme danger.

Fortunately, there are not many stone statues, and they are all like stone pillars with stone balls, and there are no other shapes.

After Horst quickly finished recording this, he couldn't help but take a second look as he passed by the corpse hanging on the stone statue, and once again a sense of foreboding quickly rose in his heart.

When I reached the exit of the Summoning Mage Canyon, it was blocked by huge rocks from the landslide.

Horst pulled out a bottle of mage potion containing nitroglycerin he had prepared in the cave.

"Wait a minute!" Horst suddenly stopped, and also stopped the movement of his hand, as if his heart had missed a beat, and turned to look at the corpse hanging from the stone statue in the distance.

"What's the matter, Horst?" Seeing Horst suddenly stop moving, everyone was puzzled.

"Remember, those cries for help we heard yesterday?" Horst asked slowly, "Tucker, remember when you told me to turn back yesterday?" ”

"You're saying someone was ...... yesterday," Tucker had a look of extreme horror on his face, "......?"

"Well, there's got to be a connection. "Horst is very analytical, and soon everyone is constantly thinking about something.

"Forget it, Brother Shi, as long as we can live. Let's get out of here first, the boulder in front of us is what we have to face. Moria's face turned a little pale, and it was obvious that she was a little afraid of the young man's corpse.

"You all stand back, I'll do the blasting, we have to get out of here, it's not safe anymore. Horst's words gave everyone a reassurance.

After placing the mage flask under the boulder, and then using a strip of cotton cloth as a lead, it was only after pulling an extremely long distance that Horst stopped.

"Magnesium powder!" Horst made a casual move, and a layer of gray-white solid was immediately sprinkled on the strip of cotton cloth, straight to the mage potion bottle.

"Backwards! the farther away the better!" Horst was a little worried, and he himself retreated far away.

"Molya, fireball!" Horst dodged as soon as he lowered the end of the cotton strip. The magnesium powder on the cotton strips, under the action of sunlight, is shiny.

Without saying a word, a bright white fireball swooped down on a strip of cotton.

"What a dazzling light!" Dennis felt dizzy as the fireball ignited the strips of cloth and magnesium powder, and in an instant, a blinding glare emitted from it. With a burning sound like a "stab-la-" sound, the bright light quickly moved in the direction of the strip of cloth.

"Lie down!" Horst shouted, then threw Moria beside him to the ground.

In the next quarter of an hour, there was a loud "boom", and the boulder was blown to pieces. When the magnesium powder burned to the mage potion bottle, due to the large amount of air it needed, a vacuum condition was formed in the local area, and the sealed mage potion bottle could not withstand the pressure and shattered due to this reason, and at the same time, the pressure of the boulder caused nitroglycerin to vibrate violently, resulting in a violent explosion.

Nitroglycerin, in Khorst's previous life, was used as a high explosive.

"Let's go!"
