Chapter 10: Catenillus

On the third day, Stiena woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she immediately nervously wandered around, and when she found that she was not in the elves, she immediately exhaled, and her body gradually relaxed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chrisse became more and more sure of his inference.

The self-exiled Stiena became more and more reticent, and even the beautiful scenery along the way failed to cause her expression to change.

One more person didn't slow down the trip.

Chris and Pandis had always liked to ride together, and the rest of the household items were placed on the other armored beast, and after Demut's plea, Chris also tied it to his mount with a rope while he was on his usual journey, and Stianna rode on the armored beast he had brought.

The two of them were in no hurry, so they walked slowly along the way, watching every beautiful scenery they passed along the way.

The more they moved forward, the warmer the weather became, and after half a month, the three of them had entered the wasteland realm.

As far as the eye could see, there were no trees on all the mountains, and the ground was covered with rough stones, and countless small grasses were burrowing out of the ground, growing strong and stubborn, dyeing the endless wasteland with a thin layer of yellow-green.

There are no roads, or rather, there are roads here, and from time to time you will see lifeless dry bushes and roots gently swaying in the wind. Some of the areas were already showing some signs of desertification, the wind was very small, but there was a lot of it, and there was always some sand and dirt in the air that made Chris and the two of them think of the edge of the Dantour Desert almost at the same time, of course, it was not as water-deficient as the Dantour Desert, and a very wide muddy stream of water turned from the foot of the mountain all the way to a distant and unseen place.

"Here, perhaps, there is no official name for the human realm, but among us elves, we all call it 'Catnillus,' which means 'forsaken land,'" Pandeis said quietly as he nestled in Chris's arms, "and it is the habitat of our elves a long time ago. But I didn't expect it to be like this now. ”

Chris couldn't help but raise his eyes to look around, and he couldn't help but think of the green scene here back then, and then sighed, a desolate feeling rose in his heart.

Stiena still didn't speak, but she looked around the same way, her eyes complicated.

The land may lack beauty, but the surrounding bare mountains are rugged and loosely soiled, which is probably the main reason for the lack of trees, and as you pass through the foothills, you can see some signs of weathering on the surface of the originally hard stones.

How many years have passed!

Maybe it's not all because of the tree of life, the population of the elves was the largest race except for humans and orcs, and hundreds of years of breeding in this place also made this place once a country of elves, compared to humans, elves are not a race that is good at creating, therefore, the three of them have gone all the way, and they have not been able to find the traces left by the elves back then.

However, on the sixth day of entering the wasteland, some inconspicuous remains of human buildings began to appear on the road, such as wall roots, foundations, and some broken and rusted metal flakes.

Chris could vaguely think of the reason for their appearance, and Pandis also said, "This must be the camp where the humans have been stationed here after our people left." ”

When the elves were expelled and left, many elves died in this battle, perhaps too hastily, the tree of life was not transferred in time, and only some of the elves escaped, but when they escaped from afar, they realized the importance of the tree of life to the people, but at that time, the original tree of life had been cut down by humans, and the most powerful part of the life element, the heart of the tree of life, was also taken away by the temple of light.

This time when he came to the elven clan, Chris had already seen the Tree of Life, which was already a behemoth, so the Tree of Life that was originally here must be much larger. As you can imagine, when dividing up this tree of life, it must also be a huge project for humans and the Temple of Light, and it will not be completed in just a few days, so it is not surprising to build a camp in this vicinity.

One of the largest buildings was the largest, two stories high, made of large, neat but slightly rough stones, with a roof that had collapsed, revealing the potholed ground, but even after hundreds of years, the stone slabs on the ground could still be seen.

Such an emphasis on pomp and enjoyment, if it were not for the royal family and nobles, it would be the Temple of Light, and then, on the rotten hilt of a stone wall, Chris saw a vague pattern of the Temple of Light, confirming his hypothesis.

Seeing that Pandis and Stiena had gloomy eyes, Chris clamped the belly of the armored beast between his legs, and scolded, "Let's go!"

Three armored beasts slowly made their way through the ruins.

As the sun set, the fading light pulled the three of them on the ground into three long shadows, and the night slowly fell on the land.

Chris pitched his tent at the foot of a hill.

The three of them had dinner, and Chris didn't need much sleep because of his mental strength, so Stiena was scheduled to keep vigil in the first half of the night.

In the middle of the night, Chris was awakened.

He was awakened by a scream from the armored beast.

The armored beasts have a gentle and obedient temperament, and it is rare to see them screaming angrily, so something must have happened!

Chris rolled over and Pandis said confusedly, "What's wrong?"

"There may be something, I'll go check it out first. ”

Outside the tent, the charcoal fire in the fire emitted a faint red light, Demut trembled next to the tent, barely startled Cris, lifted it angrily, Chris frowned, "What about Stiana?"

Demut stammered and raised his sleeve to point to the darkness: "Just now... I called over there... Miss Stiena just... Only... Rushed over!"

"Do you see anything?"

"No... Nope..."

Chris put down Demut and ran towards the place Demut was pointing.

Then faintly saw the figure of Stina, she was crouching in the middle of several armored beasts, heard footsteps, turned around and whispered: "Mentor!"

"Well, what's going on?" Chrissy walked over to her.

Footsteps rang out behind him, and Pandis arrived.

At Stiana's feet lay a beast that didn't move, so it must have been dead, and the two nearby beasts walked back and forth, snorting and looking a little restless.

Chris lit a torch, and a bright yellow glow rose to illuminate the clearing.

The armored beast that fell to the ground was dead, but there were no scars on its body.

Chris held the torch close to its head, and blood was spilling from its ear holes, in its nostrils, in its eyes, but strangely enough, there were no scars on its head, and Chris examined it closely, and there was no sign of blunt impact, not even pinholes.

So, how did it die? (To be continued.) )
