Chapter Forty-Nine: A Town in the Mist
The sound was faintly recognizable, made even more piercing by the empty ruins. Like a hoarse gasp, low, shrill and continuous; Sometimes mixed with the dull and rapid sound of hammering; Sometimes it seems to come from the depths of darkness, thorn bushes, or some hidden corner; Sometimes it seemed to come from under my feet, through cracks in the ground.
Where does this sound come from? Which night elf is screaming or slapping? Unknown. Listening to the creaking sound of rusty parts of a loom, Blue Feather couldn't help but think of the legendary ugly weaver, weaving the ropes on the gallows in the ruins of the middle of the night.
Their first reaction was the Void Creature, and in the town where the citizens had fled, the only monster that could move and make an oozing sound could only be the Void Creature.
The two of them were back to back, and Lan Yu's sensitive skin could feel the girl's smooth skin even through two layers of clothes, but at this moment, Lan Yu didn't have any such thoughts, and all his attention was on the uneven sandstone streets of the town.
After landing, without the Dark Star, an impregnable sea fortress, it would be almost impossible to resist once again facing the attack of a giant void monster and swarm. Even Vikz has a good chance of coming to the abandoned town from the wasteland of Acacia and ambushing them somewhere.
The order horizon was opened, and Blue Feather closed one eye, allowing the normal light vision and entropy vision to coincide, searching over and over again the missing corner of the porcelain jar, the stall that had been dumped on the ground, and the angle formed between the crooked door and the wall, in an attempt to find the ghostly purple point of light.
Nothing! Nothing! Empty! No life!
An idea popped up in Lan Yu's heart: Could it be that Vikz was aware of his way of searching for Void creatures and developed targeted stealth means to escape the search of the Order Horizon?
How is this possible? The entropy ability is stronger than the Void, and it is impossible to crack. The only explanation is that it's not the void creatures that make the noise!
Blue Feather breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a void creature, it was easy to say.
The two walked into the hall holding hands. Blue Feather struck the ground with the Dark Star Scythe, and the sound stopped, and then it sounded again; He knocked again, it stopped again, and then it sounded again.
In the midst of the knocking, Blue Feather saw a large frightened bat, which flew out of the niche of the wall because of the knocking sound, hovering melancholy above his head, just like he had just seen inside the collapsed tower.
He felt as if he was disturbing some creature that lived in the ruins. Don't know who it is? But it was true, Lan Yu was sure that he had broken some kind of silence.
He suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing wrong with the Land of Runeteres being a high demon world, and even more so in the ancient era when Shurima was in full swing, it was only because the Void devoured a large amount of magic power that the heroes of later generations were weakened.
How many creatures could threaten him? Fedtic, who feeds on fear and greed, and Tam, who are like Tam, are one of the kind. The Ascended Beings of the Shurima Empire can also be used, and then there are the super evolutions of the Void creatures and the Void Heroes, as well as some scattered characters, such as Lisandro and the Weapon Master.
How could they be seen casually, the Ascenders and the Void Heroes are fighting on the front lines of the Aclesia Peninsula, the weapon masters are friends and foes, and the demons say they can meet them?
Lan Yu laughed at his nervousness, turned his head and asked Lan Bing beside him: "Have we been so nervous lately, that we have a nervous breakdown, and we feel uneasy when we see a stir." ”
The latter nodded in agreement: "You still need to ask...... When we encounter the void, the mind of normal people has already collapsed, and we are either stupid or crazy, and we are good to be like this. ”
"Let's go, let's go see what's behind it!"
The two wandered through the deserted halls, slowly discovering more strange places. The first is the cobwebs on the ceiling of the hall, which densely obscure the ceiling, making the already blurry frescoes completely invisible. Only the outline can tell that it is a statue of a solar disk.
The second strange place is the dust that has accumulated on the ground, a thick layer, and you can clearly feel the feeling of stepping into the ground when you step into the dust. In the dimly lit hall, Blue Feather simply activated the ability on the side of the dazzling star and began to illuminate, and in the azure beam, small insect-like dust particles flew in all directions.
"This is not like ten days and a half months of desertion, and it is impossible for this temple to become so dilapidated in such a short period of time." Blue Feather can see the problem.
To test his idea, he quickly ran out of the door, broke off a piece of oak from the eaves of the inhabitants, and then usurped it in his hand to unleash the power of entropy. I saw that the structure of the wood began to oxidize rapidly, and layers of dust accumulated on it, but in a few seconds, the oak wood had become exactly the same as the tables and chairs in the temple.
Lan Yu threw the wood on the ground, splashing a cloud of dust, and with a wave of his hand, he drove away the dust that rushed to his nostrils: "The effect just now is eight years!" The temple hasn't been cleaned in eight years! ”
Lan Bing took his words: "One more thing worth noting is that the Sun Disc is the belief of the Shurima people. It is unimaginable that a temple of the sun should be abandoned, and there must be a special reason behind this. ”
While they were talking, the two walked to the inner room. The door was already rusty, and the oil on the bearings hadn't been changed for a long time, and it took Lan Yu some strength to push it open.
The inner room was furnished with a bed, a rudimentary set of tables and chairs, a fireplace, a kettle, and a window that was almost never opened.
A figure curled up at the head of the bed wrapped in a quilt, seeing a living person for many years, Lan Yu felt a trace of joy, he wanted to go up to ask the person for news, who knew that the other party saw him come forward and wrap the quilt closer, as if the quilt was his own snail shell.
With the faint glimmer of morning light projected from the dusty window, Blue Feather could see the other party's face clearly. He was a middle-aged man, but he described it as withered, with a scruffy beard, and a pair of eyes that were deeply sunken, and a pair of dim eyes that only shone with fear was bright.
"You...... Hello. What's going on in the town? Lan Yu sensed that the other party's mental state was not right, so he asked cautiously tentatively.
The other party did not answer, but raised a bony hand and pointed out the door with a finger stuffed with black dirt between his fingernails.
