Chapter 201: Delusional Girls and Clues
As Luke continued to go deeper, finally, through the exploration of spiritual power, he found a basement in a remote corner below the first floor.
The doors of the basement are carved with ancient symbols, revealing an ominous aura.
As Luke telepathically opened the door, a musty and bloody smell permeated the air, and the suffocating dullness in the basement subsided slightly.
In the middle of the basement was a large altar filled with various sacrificial utensils, and the blood and rotting pieces of flesh had not yet been fully cleaned, emitting a disgusting smell.
The floor was covered with mutilated human parts, and behind the altar lay a large glass dome filled with well-preserved human organs that seemed to remain active in the dim light, slowly contracting and wriggling.
Luke used his identification ability to probe around, although this altar is a little strange, but it is not an extraordinary thing, but Ferruccio has built it with the cult knowledge he has learned, which is somewhat similar to the "sΓ©ance table" that Luke collected before.
The basement environment was suffocating and disgusting, he didn't want to stay longer, so he took down some of the negative energy appliances on the altar with his mental power, let the crows be sent into the "Wanhua Mirror" space, turned around and left.
As for the basement, after all, it may still need to be explored here, so he did not destroy this basement directly, but sealed the door with a large amount of dirt and debris with telekinesis to prevent others from entering.
After returning to the surface, he quickly returned the same way, and it didn't take him an hour to go back and forth.
After returning to Waldburg, Luke didn't bother Fenris anymore and went straight to Gorkan.
Seeing Gorkan again in the deepest part of the logistics base, Luke handed him several human bones and human skin products that he had taken from the altar, and said, "These items should be the sacrificial items that Ferruccio has been using for a long time, and there is a strong negative energy in them. β
Gorkan took the items, identified them, picked up a warm arm bone, and said, "The breath on this arm bone is the strongest, it should be that he often plays with it, I will try it." β
After speaking, he put away the arm bone, lowered his voice and said, "Although we can't apply for Eniack's computing power, we can occasionally rub it a little bit when prophesying, which is irrelevant, so the wizards of the Prophecy School are very eager to guard Eniak's port. β
The room where the port is located requires extremely high clearances, and a supernumerary like Luke has no access to it, so he can only meditate and wait outside.
About half an hour passed, and Gorkan walked out tiredly, with a smug smile on his face, and said: "Forcibly overstepping the prophecy, the results obtained are not accurate enough, but they can barely be used." β
After speaking, he took out a map and drew a circle on it, which was probably more than 300 kilometers away from Phoenix.
"It's in this area."
Good guy, looking at the circle he sketched, it was several times larger than the urban area of Phoenix, and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a specific person.
However, judging from the map, it is a vast jungle, and there must not be too many people.
The advantage is that you don't have to distinguish one by one in the vast sea of people.
The disadvantage is that it is easy to be noticed by the other party when you go by yourself.
However, at this time, everything is undecided, and if you find it, you will just do it again.
He has [Defeat the Enemy First] in his body, but he is not too worried about the other party's sneak attack.
Revenge does not happen overnight, and killing needs to be done as soon as possible.
Anyway, there was Halpier, and Luke didn't say that he was going to a place more than a hundred kilometers away, and it wouldn't take long to run Europa, so he determined the address, said goodbye to Gorkan, and set off directly to the direction pointed out in the prophecy.
The city sped away behind it, past human settlements, and eventually beneath it was an endless primeval jungle.
After flying for another distance, Luke saw that he was about to reach the vicinity of the destination, so he first lowered his altitude, was vigilant at all times, and his mental power also swept downward, trying to find traces of humans.
Not long after it fell, there were really signs of human activity, and there were quite a few.
The people below also spotted Luke who was depressed, after all, it was too difficult for such a big bird not to attract attention.
However, when they saw this strange beast, they did not panic much, but beckoned to Luke happily, as if they had seen an idol.
Somewhat surprised, Luke slowed down Harpie and used his mental power to probe the crowd below for anomalies, looking for bloody, dark energy breaths.
He swept over the top of the crowd, and after a simple investigation, he did not find an abnormal aura, but a few people had a feeling of integration with nature.
He continued to fly forward, and not long after, an eagle with flaming tail feathers flew directly in front of him from a distance, and the person on the eagle didn't know what spell he used, and a nice and familiar voice sounded beside Luke: "Friend in front, this is the territory of the Vopatoni tribe, please stop for a moment and identify yourself." β
Vopatoni?
Luke thought for a moment, isn't this the tribe of shamans from the Flame School?
It's all in Jinzhi Prefecture? It's far enough.
The owner of the voice also confirmed that it should be Lily who taught him the technique of breathing.
He stood up and looked forward, and could vaguely recognize a slender woman on the back of the giant eagle, and he confirmed his inner guess even more, and shouted, "Is it Lily?" β
"Huh?" The woman was a little surprised, and her voice became smart: "It's me, who are you?" β
As he spoke, the distance between the two narrowed again, and Lily could vaguely see Luke.
She had already seen Halpierre and knew what it looked like, and although Halpierre had upgraded it again, it was only more luxurious in detail, and the overall shape still retained its original style, which was roughly recognizable.
At this time, Lily finally recognized Luke, her whole body was a little frozen, her mind was a little confused, and all kinds of thoughts were constantly fighting.
"Ahh How did Luke come? Did you come to me specifically? β
"He doesn't like me."
"It must be, otherwise he came all the way from Phoenix City to the tribe to do here!"
"Oh, I left in a hurry, and I never saw him again, but I didn't expect him to come to see me."
"But grandpa said that I had a good impression of him at the beginning because shamans are naturally attracted to people with high soul strength, and that is not love."
"But he's so handsome!"
"He hasn't traveled thousands of miles to see me!"
"He loves me so much!"
"Woo woo, I can't let him down."
"No, if Grandpa still doesn't agree to let me go, I'll elope with him!"
"Have a baby! Have a litter! β
"The boss is called Ethan Williams, if it's a girl, what should it be called?"
At this time, the two were already very close, and Luke looked at Lily, who was flushed and lost in thought, and suddenly thought of the scene when the two had just met, and she was like this.
This girl can't be mentally ill.
He called out softly, "Hey, Lily! β
Lily was awakened from her fantasy by this sound, her body trembled, and when she saw Luke looking at her with concern, she knew that she was stupid again, and she was embarrassed to immediately jump off the "Red Lotus", that is, the giant eagle under her, and disappear from this world.
But in order to maintain her image in front of Luke, she forcibly calmed down, made a look of surprise, and said to Luke: "Luke! You've come to see me! Really, it must be hard to go so far, let's go, let's go down and rest. β
Yes?
See you?
Sister, did you misunderstand something?
But by this time, Lily had already grabbed the neck of the giant eagle beneath her, ordered it to turn, and flew ahead to lead the way for Luke, not forgetting to turn around and wave to Luke, motioning for him to follow, with a big smile.
At this time, revealing the truth, this girl will probably be embarrassed to death.
Luke didn't explain in the end, and followed her, flying in the direction she had come.
Less than ten minutes later, the two of them came to a group of tribes, probably where the Wopatoni tribe was located.
Lily instigates the Giant Eagle's fall, and Luke follows suit.
The two of them landed in a large clearing, which was very empty and flat, and appeared to be used as an "airfield" for flying mounts to take off and land.
Lily jumped lightly from the giant eagle's back, and in the flight just now, she deliberately didn't communicate much with Luke, and prepared herself well.
She took three steps and two steps, came to Luke's side, pointed to her mount, and said, "Originally, the common companion of our tribe was the cheetah, but after I met your animal companion, I begged my grandfather to help me find a fire-feathered eagle, its name is Red Lotus. Look, as handsome as your raven! β
Under Luke's close observation, this firefeather eagle is indeed handsome.
Unlike other eagle beasts, this giant eagle is not only twice as large in size, but also has an orange-red hue in its feathers, giving people the feeling that the whole body is burning with flames.
Of course, the most striking thing is the feathers on its tail, each of which has a golden flame burning at the tip, and even looks a bit like a variant of the phoenix.
He nodded in agreement: "It's really handsome!" β
Halpiere's intelligence had been greatly improved after his last upgrade, and when he heard Luke's compliment, he suddenly spread his wings all to the sides, as if stretching his waist, and pushed the Firefeather Hawk that had just stood firm.
The Fire Feather Eagle Red Lotus is also a jungle tyrant, where has it received this kind of qi, the flames on its body are full of flames, and it is about to fight back.
The crown on Halpier's head flashed with a dark sheen, and an inexplicable fear suddenly appeared in the heart of the red lotus, its feathers exploded, its two short legs moved, accompanied by fluttering wings, and fled backwards in embarrassment.
"Quiet! Don't bully! β
is so arrogant on other people's territory, you kid, you are more ruthless than me.
Luke condensed a large lava hand and slapped it on the top of the head.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Halpier was reprimanded by his master, no longer provocative, and honestly stayed where he was.
It was Red Lotus, who hid behind Lily with the one that Lian Fei took away, and refused to be with Halpier at all.
Lilian persuaded her in her ear for a long time, but Red Lotus still refused to take her head, and in desperation, Lily had no choice but to let it go to the top of the jungle to find a place to rest by herself.
After Red Lotus left, Luke said to Lily in embarrassment, "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect it to be so childish now." β
Lily didn't care, she glanced at Halpierre enviously, and said, "It's so strong, can I touch its feathers?" β
Luke nodded, and through the psionic link, Harpier was left untouched.
Lily touched the smooth feathers on its body, and after a lot of fun, she walked out with Luke.
On the way, she didn't say a word as if she had something on her mind.
Luke couldn't help but walk and asked, "Were you on patrol just now?"
Lily replied, "Yes, there have been some strange things in the jungle recently, several animal companions and tribesmen have disappeared in the wild, and grandpa suspects that an enemy has come to the door, so we have strengthened our external defense." β
Missing.
Luke subconsciously thought that it wouldn't have anything to do with the voodoo feruccio he was tracking.
After all, his cultivation requires life sacrifices, and he happens to be active in this area, if it wasn't him, who else could it be?
With this guess in mind, Luke follows Lily all the way.
The Wopatoni tribe seems to be a large Indian tribe, and after stepping out of the "parking airport", after a few turns, the surroundings become lively.
Lily is obviously very popular here, and many people will greet them warmly when they see them, and then the final conversation will quietly move on to Luke.
It's always like that.
"Who is this handsome guy? I haven't seen it, where did it come from? β
"My classmates from when I was studying in Phoenix, came to see me."
The person who asked was gossipy, and the person who answered was shy.
After a few questions and answers, Lily couldn't stand it anymore, pulled Luke up, and the two of them quickly ran through the crowded gathering area to a slightly desolate residence.
Lily slowed down, suddenly remembered that the two of them were still holding hands, and put Luke's hand down as if she was electrocuted, and pretended to be calm and introduced to Luke: "This is the residence of the shamans, and ordinary tribal residents will not come here. β
After speaking, she pointed to the last largest house: "That is the room of my grandfather, the great shaman of Wopatoni, his name is Ezzir, but you can also call him grandpa, I will take you to visit him." β
Half of the house is within the tribe, the other half is hidden in the jungle, surrounded by tall trees and dense grass, the walls are made of rough wood with a faint woody fragrance, and the gate is inlaid with some colorful feathers, symbolizing the awe and worship of nature.
Although Luke himself did not mean this, Lily's grandfather should be the most high-ranking person in the tribe, and if he could get his support, it would be much easier to find and pursue Ferruccio.
And Ferruccio has already committed a bloody crime here, which has led to martial law in the whole of Vopatoni, and the great shaman must also hate him deeply, and the two sides have a common goal, and it is easy to agree.
He followed Lily forward, and when he reached the last room, Lily knocked on the door and shouted inside, "Grandpa, I've brought a friend to see you." β
With that, he pushed open the door and led Luke in.
Without waiting for Luke to say hello, Ezzil looked at him and spoke first: "You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." β
