"Will the Source Stone be placed in the room where they were hiding?"

Gehr thought of another possibility.

However, he did not immediately turn around and run back to the cabin to look for it, but first went to the galley to find some simple food to fill his stomach, and then checked the food storage room to make sure that the food on the ship had not been tampered with.

After a short rest, Gell gathered all the supplies on deck into the galley and set up a makeshift base before stepping out of the cabin with an oil lamp for the night watchman.

Gell re-examined the ship, eventually confirming that there were no other living people on the ship other than him.

After confirming this, Gehr can finally stay on the ship to recuperate, as for the possible risks caused by killing Naxinda and Susu, he doesn't have to worry too much for the time being, the airship located in the depths of the Boundary Forest is undoubtedly the safest place now, and it is also the most suitable place for him to recuperate now. As for the revenge that he might encounter after he returned to civilized society, the organization or family behind these two parties was already a matter of later, and he didn't need to think too much about it now.

Over the next week, Gell recuperated from his injuries and searched floor by floor, but unfortunately, Gell searched the entire cabin several times, but failed to find the source stone, which made him wonder if his judgment was wrong.

During this time, the injuries on the surface of Gehr's body have already healed, and as for the damage caused by the xenomorphous energy particles in his body, it is not so easy to heal, and the estimated time for complete recovery will be a month.

In addition, Gehr also found the ship's map and compass. These days I finally decided where I was and planned my next journey.

Now everything is almost ready. It was time to leave the airship and start again, although the airship's power source was destroyed. But that doesn't mean that the airship stays still in the air – the incoming and outgoing air currents push the airship around like a floating balloon.

After these days, Gehr found that most of the air currents over the Boundary Forest were blowing in the direction of the depths of the forest, and only around midnight would there be winds blowing in other directions every day, which caused the airship to continue to go deep into the forest for several kilometers every day, and as time passed, the distance of this movement became larger and larger, as if there was an eye of wind in that invisible place, converging the surrounding air currents towards there, and the closer to it, the stronger the air flow became.

The airship's location is still in the outer area of the Boundary Forest. However, after all these days of moving, Gell can be sure that he is already close to the Central District, which the wizards have designated as a mortal danger, so in order to avoid trouble, Gell decides to stay on the airship for a day at most, and then he must leave.

"It's going to rain......"

Sitting on a deck at the bow of the ship, Gehr looked up at the sky in front of him, only to see that a cloud of gray was pouring out of the distant sky, and soon a large area continued to encroach on the originally blue sky, and the originally bright sunlight began to become dim.

Gehr shoved the last bit of bread in his hand into his mouth. Then he stood up, walked to the side of the boat not far ahead, grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, and poked his head out to look down.

The dark green forest below finally took on a different color—at the end of the line of sight that met the sky. Patches of dull orange come into view, which is a sign of entering the Central District of the Boundary Forest. According to the research of wizards, the plants in the Central area have been growing in areas where energy particles are overactive for many years. Therefore, the body is infected by elemental energy to varying degrees, and both the branches and leaves and the body of the tree will turn orange-red. The closer you get to the center, the brighter the orange becomes, and it is said that the plants in the deepest part of the Boundary Forest are as bright as the sun. It's just that during the time Gehr was in the Aishi Rift, he had never heard of anyone who could come out alive to confirm this rumor.

The wind on the deck was stronger, mixed with some wetness.

Suddenly, Gehr smelled a faint stench, the stench of corpses as they decomposed.

"Almost, to this day, it's the limit. ”

Gehr muttered as he turned and walked towards the control room.

When I came to the door of the control room, I pushed open the door, and a strong foul smell came to my nose. Naxinda's body was still in the same state as when it had just died, lying in the corner of the room, its skin had completely lost its luster, and patches of dark corpse spots appeared, and yellowish pus spread out from under his corpse, leaving patches on the floor.

Fortunately, there were no flies in the air far from the ground, otherwise Gell had no doubt that he would encounter a buzzing black torrent when he opened the door.

Although Naxinda, as a high-level apprentice who is very close to a wizard, has increased the strength of his body a lot under the long-term immersion of energy particles, he is not a wizard after all, and it is already the limit that he can delay until the seventh day after death before it begins to decay. It is said that there are powerful wizards who can keep their bodies from decaying for half a year after death, and if they have been embalmed accordingly, it will not be a problem to keep them for hundreds of years.

A few days ago, Gehr did not throw the corpses of Naxinda and his companions into the boat as if they were any other corpses, because he wanted to find clues about the whereabouts of the source stone on their bodies, so he kept him as he was when he died, but Gehr was disappointed that he found nothing. Now that the corpse has begun to decompose, there is no value in continuing to stay, after all, staying next to the corpse and staying next to the decomposing corpse are two different things, even if Gehr has experienced a lot of bloody scenes, but he doesn't like to stay in this disgusting environment if it is not necessary.

Gehr dragged the body to the side of the boat and pushed it straight out.

With two whirring sounds, I saw the two corpses fall down quickly, quickly shrunk into two small black dots, and then sank into the dense canopy below, the dark green canopy shook imperceptibly, and there was no movement.

Gell clapped his hands, turned away from the side of the boat, and went to the kitchen to pick up a bucket of clean water. Get ready to wash the floor of the control room and wash away all those disgusting remnants.

Carrying the bucket, he walked to the door of the control room. Gehr didn't go in, and poured it directly inside. Then control the air flow to push the water to every corner of the control room.

The sound of sizzling kept coming, and after a while, the stench of decay became much weaker.

Seeing that the control room was almost washed, Gehr prepared to go back to the deck to pack his things for the rainy days that were coming.

Just as he was about to turn around, suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he sensed that something was wrong.

He walked briskly into the control room, his feet rattling in the water, and soon came to a square table in the corner. Grabbing the edge of the table, he tossed it aside with all his might, then crouched down, carefully observing the corner of the wall that had been in the shadow of the table a moment before.

"I see. ”

There was a hint of surprise on Geer's face, and in the corner of the wall in front of him, the clear water from the ground automatically separated from each other about a foot or so in front of the wall, as if there was some invisible object blocking it.

Stretching out his hand, Gehr really touched a hard object in the place blocking the flow of water, very light. Holding it up with a slight force, it looked like it was holding air, but Gehr knew from the touch of his hand that he was holding a small square metal box.

Holding the things in his hand, Gehr quickly left the control room. Came to an open deck, lowered the transparent box, and began to fumble with both hands along the edge of the box.

Soon. Gehr touched a slightly raised hard object and twisted it slightly. Then he heard a soft click, and he had a small cut hedron in his hand. A black metal crate appeared on the deck in front of him.

The chest was about a foot square and less than half the height of its length, and it looked like a gift box for cookies, but the pattern carved into the black metal surface of the box showed that it was a magical item.

"It's actually Hantom Invisible Cabinet, no wonder I can't find it. Geer's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile.

The Invisible Chest of Hantom is a well-known artifact of magic that can shield all sensory beings except physical existence, especially since even energy fluctuations can unhindered through the box itself to create the illusion that the explorer does not exist, so that Gell was also deceived before this.

Gehr didn't think that Naxinda would hide his belongings in the nearest control room, but after checking a few times and finding that there was nothing to hide, he turned his attention to the cabin, and was directed in the wrong direction, and worked for so many days until he found the strange situation of the water flow when cleaning the control room.

But think about it, if Naxinda couldn't hide the source stone, he would have been discovered by Su Su, who had a stronger sense of perception, and then went directly to the door to grab it and left, what else to fight, and the Hantom invisible cabinet is a container that can perfectly avoid the perception of wizards. It's just that Hantom invisible cabinets are rare, and Gehr has only seen them in books, but he hasn't seen the real thing, so he didn't think of this aspect for a while.

According to the book, Gehr found a hidden button on the side of the box, and with a light press and a snap, the lid of the box opened automatically.

Suddenly, a layer of colorful luster was reflected in Geer's burning pupils—a pillar of colorful light rose from the opening of the box and plunged straight into the endless sky, and a circle of water ripples like a substance began to spread around the center of the box, and an almost suffocating energy fluctuation immediately pressed on Geer's heart.

Inside the chest, surrounded by white foam-like filling, was a cyan rock heart, which could be held in one hand, and the layers of blood vessels and flesh on it were lifelike, and pulsed slightly as the ripples of the water rippled spread.

Source Stone!

Gell laughed out loud, took the source stone out of the box, held it carefully, and looked at it over and over again.

"That's right, it's the source stone, exactly the same as the record!"

After a while, Gehr finally confirmed that this was not a fake, but a real source stone.

"I made a lot of money this time!"

Gell carefully placed the source stone back into the invisible chest cabinet of Hantom, and his face was full of smiles that could not be concealed.

But at this moment, a huge roar swept in from a distance, and the next moment, the airship shook violently...... (To be continued......)
