Chapter 621: Encountering Problems
Although the mountain where the head of eternal wisdom was buried seemed far away, in fact, it took less than an hour to walk for the three of them to reach the foot of this high mountain.
In the past, Bailu had shown Leo the image of this high mountain, when the surface of this high mountain was still full of tall trees, but now all the trees are gone, and there is no land to be seen on the ground, because the bones all over the mountain cover the entire ground, and the ground is forcibly raised by more than ten meters.
Yes, it is more than ten meters, compared to the corpses seen before, the corpses here can be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones, looking at it, all you see are the bones of Bai Sensen, giving people the illusion that if you walk in, you will become a corpse.
Although these bones are not dangerous, the bones themselves contain an inexplicable momentum, even Leo standing in front of this sea of bones involuntarily produces an inexplicable pressure in his body and mind, and Sylvia and Thran need to be supported to stand firm.
"What the hell is going on here?" Sylvia muttered to herself as she looked at the bones that littered the mountains.
However, her inquiry did not need to be answered by Leo at all, as the answer quickly appeared in front of her.
The clouds and mist wrapped around the mountainside in front of him suddenly shook, and then a huge black shadow came out of the middle and slammed into the ground, smashing the bones beneath him and smashing the ground into a large hole.
Leo turned to look at Sylvia, then gestured and walked towards the spot where the shadow had fallen, followed by Sylvia and Therland.
Leo walked to the smashed pit and looked down, only to see a seventeen or eighteen-meter-long corpse lying in the pit, the fatal wound of the corpse was not caused by falling, the fatal wound came from its head, its head was cut off by some sharp object.
Blood flowed out of the corpse and to the bottom of the pit, and those white bones would not be stained by blood as if they contained some kind of force field, and all the blood quickly penetrated down the gaps in the bones under the body and disappeared quickly.
"It wasn't an injury caused by a metal weapon. Sylvia looked at the wound, quickly made a judgment based on experience, and said with great certainty.
"I think so too. Leo nodded, looked up at the mist-shrouded mountainside, and said, "It looks like there's a lot of trouble up there, so we'll have to be careful if we want to go up." ”
"Look at the corpses. At this time, Seran suddenly reminded the two.
The two turned their heads to look over, and found that the blood in the corpses in the pit seemed to be drained, and the flesh and skin on the body were rapidly decaying as if they were infected with some bacteria, and it took almost less than ten seconds for only a pile of bones remained.
Seeing this, Leo directly cast a witcher's magic seal to create a protective layer, then jumped down the pit and walked towards the bones.
"Be careful. Sylvia didn't go down, but just reminded her with great concern.
Leo walked over to the corpse, and although there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the surrounding situation, after the scene he had just seen, then it was normal in itself.
In addition, Leo also found that the bones in front of him were not just bones, but more like fossils that had undergone thousands of years of evolution, and the same situation was also reflected in the surrounding bones.
Obviously, the mountain where the heads of eternal wisdom are buried is very different from other places, where creatures or monsters will rot at a normal rate even if they die.
Just like in the witch's graveyard before, the surrounding corpses were frozen in good condition, and there was still flesh and blood.
But here, all the corpses will completely decay in a short period of time, and the bones will also turn into fossils, as if the moment they die, the flow of time on their bodies will be adjusted tens of thousands of times faster, and a few minutes will seem like millions of years have passed.
"Did you find anything?" asked Sylvia, standing on it.
"Don't die. Leo replied simply.
It's just that this answer made both Sylvia and Thran inexplicable.
Seeing the two women's blank expressions, Leo told them what he had observed.
Although they were surprised that the corpses had turned into fossils, they were not too worried about anything, after all, people were already dead, and it didn't matter what the bones became.
"What are we going to do next," Sylvia asked as Leo climbed up, then looked at the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, and said, "Are you going to the top?"
"It shouldn't be the top of the mountain, Bailu said it was in the mountain. Leo frowned, thinking carefully about what Bailu had said to him at the beginning.
"Is it inside the mountain? Then it's time to find the entrance. Sylvia frowned, looking at the boundless sea of bones, she couldn't help but have a headache, and said, "If you follow the normal method, if you want to find the entrance to the mountain here, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”
"If only Denise were here, she should be able to cope with such an environment. Theran muttered a sad sigh on the side, then showed a look of surprise and said, "Do you feel that the surrounding environment seems to have some power on us...... Some good effects. ”
Hearing Therlan's reminder, Sylvia also sensed the power in her body, although this effect is not very obvious, but it is certain that this kind of good influence exists, just like she usually uses her natural power, it takes three seconds, but now it may only take more than two seconds.
Leo also heard Therland's words, but he didn't feel any good influence here that would help the power in his body, but there were several divine powers in his body that were being suppressed.
However, there was a force within him that was an exception, and the environment around him seemed to help this force somewhat.
"What's wrong? don't you feel the effect?" Sylvia asked, seeing the serious look on Leo's face.
"I feel it, but it's not a good thing. Leo shook his head and said, "It's the eye of the Abyss Serpent." ”
Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia immediately thought of the source of the witch, and her face became serious, because it meant that the power of the abyss in this area was very strong, and it also meant that there must be a passage connected to the abyss, which was not good news for them.
Theran obviously didn't know anything about the witch's origin and other things, she looked at Leo and Sylvia, who were a little puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with you?
Sylvia and Leo glanced at each other, and Sylvia moved her mouth slightly, as if asking Leo if he should tell Therland about it. Sylvia didn't say anything, but Leo understood what she meant, so she nodded.
So, Sylvia, who received Leo's reply, carefully told Seran about the abyss, about the witch, and so on, and Thran's face turned a lot paler when he heard it.
Seran was completely stunned, this was even more incredible than hearing about the head of a certain god here, although she didn't know what the abyss was, but she instinctively felt that the abyss was definitely not a good place, and her heart naturally produced a sense of repulsion.
"Does this abyss have any bad effect on us?" Thran asked suddenly.
"It's going to turn into a monster. At this moment, suddenly a voice that was somewhat familiar to everyone present sounded, and then I saw Saran, the Chosen King, and Danise, the banshee of the forest, silently appearing out of thin air not far away, and walked over, and heard Saran say while walking: "If you are too deeply affected by the abyss, the witch power in your body will cause you to be irreparably mutated, and eventually become a monster who has lost all reason." ”
"Do you know about the Abyss and the origin of our witch?" Sylvia asked in a deep voice as she saw Saran appear, her expression becoming a little serious.
"Of course I know, in fact all generations of gatekeepers have known these things. Saran graciously admitted.
Sylvia was about to open her mouth to continue questioning, but Thran had already spoken first, "You didn't tell us about such an important matter?"
"Do you think that telling you these things has changed your situation in any way?" Saran asked rhetorically.
"But ......" Therland didn't know how to refute for a while, so he could only forcibly say: "But you also need to tell us, after all, this matter is related to our lives." ”
"No, this matter is not about your life, in fact, witches rarely lose control of their power before they die. Saran, who had already walked up to the group, retorted, then looked at Thran and Sylvia as if sensing something, and said, "But you two may be exceptions. ”
"Exception?" Sylvia asked, a little displeased, "What do you mean by that?"
Saran said in a deep voice, "It means that you have awakened the bloodline by directly taking the Demon Spirit Crystal. ”
"Is there a problem with this method of awakening the bloodline?" Leo asked with some concern, frowning.
Saran looked at Leo and was not surprised that Leo would appear here, she turned her head to look at Sylvia and said, "This bloodline awakening method is not only not a problem, but it is the most formal witch bloodline awakening method, and your bloodline after awakening through this method will go farther than the witch who awakens the bloodline by other methods, and her strength will increase faster." ”
"Isn't that a good thing?" said Thran, not understanding the other meaning of the other man's words.
Sylvia shook her head and said, "The faster our strength increases, the more difficult it is to control the improved power, which means that we have a much greater chance of becoming a runaway witch than other witches, just like Lilith, the witch of death." ”
"Yes, just like Lilith, the witch of death. Saran nodded in confirmation of Sylvia's speculation.
Leo couldn't help frowning when he heard their conversation, especially after hearing the Death Witch Lilith, he immediately recalled some information related to it in his mind.
Lilith, the witch of death, is a witch hundreds of years ago, and can also be said to be the most famous witch in the world of Velon, her figure appears in various literature and dramas in the world of Velon, but she often plays an ugly, evil witch and witch in it.
It can be said that most of the bad reputation of the witch group is related to the death witch Lilith, and she has done everything related to evil and madness in the world of Veron, and has directly or indirectly died in her hands as many as hundreds of thousands, which is almost comparable to a large-scale national war, so she also has the title of Death Witch.
The outside world describes Lilith as evil by nature, and now it seems that this Death Witch has become evil because of the influence of the abyss.
Theran couldn't help but complain, "Since the Demon Spirit Crystal Awakening Bloodline is so dangerous, why have you never said it? If you did, how could we use the Demon Spirit Crystal directly?"
"The reason why I don't say it is because there has never been a witch who has used the Demon Spirit Crystal directly like the two of you. Saran glanced at the other party angrily, and said, "Do you remember the information you saw? There is a high chance of failure to awaken directly using the Demon Spirit Crystal, and once it fails, it will take a long time to awaken again, but if you use the Demon Spirit Crystal to make a potion, the chance of awakening is much greater, and there is no adverse effect." But after you get the Demon Spirit Crystal, you take it directly, and you still awaken the bloodline, I don't know if this is your luck, or bad luck?"
Hearing Saran's words, Sylvia and Therland's faces became a lot calmer, and they both thought that in that situation, if the two of them didn't take the Demon Spirit Crystal, With the power of awakening the bloodline to resist the unknown influence and regain their mobility, maybe they would have died in the blizzard by now, so they don't regret awakening the bloodline through that method, and if they did it again, even if they knew that there would be hidden dangers, they would also use this method to awaken the bloodline, because there was no way back for them at that time.
"Is there any way to solve this problem?" asked Leo, who was also concerned about the problem.
"Of course there is, after all, so many years have passed, and how could the witch after that know that there will be such a hidden danger and not want to solve it. Saran replied in the affirmative, but instead of continuing, he turned to look at Leo and asked, "But before I say that, I'm a little curious, why did Lord Leodord come here, or what is there here that attracts you?"
"What do you think?" Leo replied without a straight answer.
Saran looked at the obvious crater not far away, then looked up at the mist-shrouded mountain, and said, "Your Excellency must have read the great adventurer Will Jackson's book of the Witch Mountain and think that there is really some secret hidden here?"
