Chapter 165 Trap and smoke
When he returned to the camp at dawn, Kellot rode on Xiliu's back, holding a big fish that had been blown out by a spiral water dragon in his hand.
Clinton and others had almost woken up at this time, and they also went to the nearby stream to wash their faces. When they saw Kellot coming back with a big fish in his arms, they directly set fire and made a pot of fish soup.
After a hearty breakfast, the group continued to set off. Kylot's horse was now riding by Maria, and he sat on Xiliu's back, and he took the backpack with the Green-winged Eagle Egg and carried it on his back.
The environment of the outer periphery of the Forgotten Valley is different from that of the middle layer. The middle layer jungle is denser and the terrain is steeper. This is the terrain of the valley. Kelot and others cross the flatter periphery and enter the sinking area of the valley. The real core is the plains inside the valley.
The terrain is not difficult to distinguish, so after walking for a long time after entering the middle-level area of the Forgotten Valley, the old hunter said that he was leaving.
"Can't you take a little longer? We can pay extra, and it's better to take us where you see that town."
Clinton wanted to fight for it, but the old hunter said he disagreed with anything. Finally, after marking a clear reveal on their map and pointing out the general direction, he rode his horse and took other rented horses back to the outer layer.
This was the agreement between them. The old hunter and the horses would wait in the outer camp for six days, and within six days he would be there all the way around, in order to bring the people who had completed the mission back.
If no one comes out in six days, he will return, because six days are the limit of his waiting, and he cannot stay in the jungle all the time.
"Next, we have to walk on the road ourselves. The current determined direction is this... The old hunter said that the town is located in the core area of the valley, so he could only see the situation there on a rock in the middle-level area. Let's go to the location he discovered first."
It is definitely wrong to rush down rashly. The other party is a well-organized cult organization, and the early intelligence collection is understandable.
The old hunter was very impressed by the location at that time because he saw the legendary town in the Forgotten Valley, but he did not have much ease along the way.
It’s not because the road is difficult to walk, but because of something that does not belong to the jungle.
"This is the third battle ruin. No wonder the old hunter is unwilling to walk inside again... We have only walked for more than an hour, and such places have appeared one after another."
Maria kept taking photos with her camera, and the rocks and trees here were covered with traces of weapons hitting and a lot of blood.
But one thing is strange, there is no corpse!
No matter where it is, no matter how fierce the battle situation is seen from the remains, there are no corpses!
Even some people's remains can't be found!
"Can it be eaten by wild beasts in the forest or something? There are many wild beasts in the Forgotten Valley. Haven't we seen mountain leopards before?"
On the way here just now, Biden discovered that there were mountain leopards in the nearby forest with good eyesight, so there is this saying.
"The possibility is not high. It is understandable that wild beasts eat people, but they will never eat clothes and bones together. Think about the few places we encountered before, no clothes and bones were left on the scene. I think... it was someone who cleaned it up!"
Kylot pushed his glasses and said his thoughts.
"I have the same feeling. Next, everyone should be careful. If you find any abnormalities, you must first say them. Remember not to act alone or rashly!"
Clinton frowned and said, "I found such a strange situation before I arrived at my destination."
"I saw a place over there without trees, white... it should be stones, and that should be where you are going."
Maria held up her camera and looked at the scenery in the distance by focusing on it, and found a small sparse place of trees.
Taking out the monocular lens, Kylot looked out in the direction of Maria, and indeed found a place with very few trees in the distance.
"Stop! Don't move forward, there are traps!"
Benedict suddenly spoke and stopped everyone walking forward.
Undead spell·Skull summons!
The gray-white magic circle spread out on the ground, and two short pale skeletons walked to everyone in a strange way.
After walking about seven or eight meters, the skeleton in front suddenly stopped, and then a thick rope pulled its body into the air. A sharp wooden sprint rushed down from the tree. Within a few seconds, the skeleton used for exploration was completely broken.
"Hiss~ It's so dangerous! But Mr. Benedict is so powerful that he can actually summon such a small skeleton... take a picture, take a picture!"
Maria was very nervous. After pausing for a while, she picked up the camera and clicked a few times.
The remaining little skeletons continued to explore the way, and everyone's vigilance increased a lot. This kind of jungle trap can be killed by accident!
Finally, after destroying three small skeletons one after another, everyone finally walked to the place they saw before. Everyone thought it was a good idea. This was the place where the old hunter had been, because he could see the marks he left behind on the tree next to him!
“He said it was in this direction…”
Kylot picked up the telescope and looked down the gap among the sparse trees here, looking for the location of the town mentioned in the old hunter's mouth.
"Finally found it! Look at the forest, is there smoke rising?"
Since someone lives in it, it is time to make a fire and cook, so finding smoke is the best way to cook!
In the location where Gness looked, you can indeed see a lot of smoke rising between the jungles. Although you can't see the houses and buildings, there must be many people in such a large-scale smoke.
"How can we get there? Go down directly?"
"No, we can't pass during the day. The number of evil believers here is conservatively estimated to be hundreds of. There are only a few of us, and we will die when we pass during the day."
Infiltration is the best way to act now. Kylot's goal is to capture the leader of the sect, and Clinton's goal is to obtain holy objects within their sect. If you are discovered during the day and startle, it will be difficult to achieve the goal.
Roar ~
Xiliu stood behind Kylot and gently pressed his back with his head.
"There is an enemy approaching, it should be the trap we set out before that attracted their attention!"
Xiliu asked about the similar smell to those men in black robes last night. The trap was triggered, and it was normal for the person who set the trap to react.
The group was hiding in the nearby jungle, and the Xiliu also narrowed its body and kept quiet.
