Although the mountain where the head of Eternal Wisdom is buried seems far away, in fact, after walking for less than an hour, the three of them have arrived at the foot of this mountain.
Before, Bailu had shown Leo an image of this mountain. At that time, the surface of this mountain was still covered with tall trees, but now all the trees have disappeared, and there is no land visible on the ground, because the mountains and plains are covered with mountains and plains.
Corpses covered the entire ground, forcibly raising the ground level by more than ten meters.
Yes, it's only a dozen meters away. Compared with the corpses I saw before, the corpses here can be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones. Looking around, all you see are white bones, giving people a feeling that if you walk...
If you go in, you will have the illusion that you will become a corpse.
Although these bones are not dangerous, the bones themselves contain an inexplicable aura. Even if Leo stands in front of this sea of ​​bones, his body and mind can't help but feel an inexplicable pressure. Sylvia and Selan
He also needs support to stand firm.
"What on earth happened here?" Sylvia couldn't help but mutter to herself after looking at the bones scattered all over the mountain.
However, her question did not require Leo to answer at all, because the answer quickly appeared in front of her.
The clouds and mist wrapped around the mountainside in front suddenly shook, and then a huge black shadow came out of the middle and hit the ground hard, smashing the bones under him and making a big hole in the ground.
.
Leo turned his head and looked at Sylvia, then gave a signal and walked towards the place where the black shadow fell. Sylvia and Selan followed closely.
Leo walked to the hole that was made and looked down. He saw a corpse of a giant beast that was 17 or 18 meters long lying in the hole. The fatal injury on the corpse was not caused by falling. It was fatal.
The injury came from its head, which seemed to have been cut off by some sharp weapon.
Blood flowed from the corpse to the bottom of the pit, and those dense white bones seemed to contain some kind of force field and would not be stained by the blood. All the blood quickly penetrated along the gaps in the bones under the body and soon disappeared.
"The injury was not caused by a metal weapon." Sylvia looked at the wound, quickly made a judgment based on experience, and said with certainty.
"I think so too." Leo nodded, looked up towards the mountainside shrouded in clouds and mist, and said, "It looks like there is a lot of trouble on the mountainside. We need to be more careful if we go up there."
"Look at the corpse." Selan suddenly reminded the two of them.
The two turned around and looked over, and found that the blood in the corpse in the pit seemed to have drained away, and the skin and flesh on the body was rotting rapidly as if infected by some bacteria. In less than ten seconds, only a pile of bones remained.
.
Seeing this, Leo directly cast a witcher's seal to create a protective layer, then jumped into the pit and walked towards the corpse.
"Be careful." Sylvia did not go down, but reminded her with great concern.
Leo walked up to the corpse. Although there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the surrounding situation, after the scene he just saw, there was something wrong with this normality.
In addition, Leo also discovered that the bones in front of him were no longer just bones, but more like fossils that had evolved over millions of years. The same situation was also reflected in the surrounding bones.
It is obvious that the mountain where the head of eternal wisdom is buried is very different from other places. Even if the creatures or monsters in other places die, their bones will maintain a normal decay rate.
Just like in the Witch Cemetery before, the surrounding corpses were perfectly frozen and still retained their flesh and blood.
But here, all the corpses will be completely decomposed in a short period of time, and the bones will become fossils. It is as if the flow of time in their bodies was accelerated tens of thousands of times the moment they died, and a few minutes seemed to have passed by.
Same for millions of years.
"Did you find anything?" Sylvia asked from above.
"Don't die." Leo replied simply.
It was just this answer that made both Sylvia and Selan puzzled.
Seeing the two women's confused expressions, Leo told them what he had observed.
Although they were surprised that the corpse turned into a fossil, they were not too worried about anything. After all, the people were dead, so it didn't matter what the bones became.
"What should we do next?" Sylvia asked as she watched Leo climb up, then looked at the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, and said, "Are you going to the top of the mountain?"
"It shouldn't be the top of the mountain. Bai Lu said it was inside the mountain." Leo frowned and carefully recalled what Bai Lu had said to him.
"Inside the mountain? Then we have to find the entrance." Sylvia frowned, looking at the endless sea of ​​bones, she couldn't help but have a headache, and said: "If you follow the normal method, you want to be here
It may be difficult to find the entrance deep into the mountain."
"It would be great if Denise were here. Her abilities should be able to cope with such an environment." Selan muttered regretfully from the side, then showed a surprised look and said, "Have you ever felt the surrounding environment?
The environment seems to have some...some good influence on our strength."
Hearing Seran's reminder, Sylvia also sensed the power in her body. Although this effect is not very obvious, it is certain that this kind of good influence exists, just like when she usually uses her
Innate power takes three seconds, but now it may only take more than two seconds.
Leo also heard Selan's words, but he did not feel any good influence here that would help the power in his body. On the contrary, several divine powers were being suppressed in his body.
However, there is an exception to the power within him, and the surrounding environment seems to be somewhat helpful to this power.
"What's wrong? Don't you feel the impact?" Sylvia asked, seeing the serious expression on Leo's face.
"I feel it, but it's not a good thing." Leo shook his head and said, "It's the eyeball of the Abyss Serpent."
Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia immediately thought of the source of the witch, and her face became serious, because this meant that the power of the abyss in this area was very strong, and it also meant that there must be a passage connected to the abyss.
This is not good news for them.
Seran obviously knew nothing about the origin of the witch and so on. She looked at Leo and Sylvia who were a little confused and asked: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Sylvia and Leo looked at each other, and Sylvia moved her mouth slightly, as if asking Leo whether he should tell Selan about the matter. Although Sylvia did not say any words,
Leo could understand its meaning, so he nodded.
So, after receiving Leo's reply, Sylvia told Selan about the abyss, the witch and other things in detail, which made Selan's face become a lot pale.
Selan was completely confused. This was even more incredible to her than what she heard before about coming here and the head of a certain god. Although she didn't know what the abyss was, she instinctively felt that the abyss was definitely not a good place.
This place naturally created a feeling of rejection in my heart.
"Does this abyss have any bad influence on us?" Seran suddenly asked.
"It will turn into a monster." At this moment, a voice that was familiar to everyone present suddenly sounded, and then they saw the king chooser Saran and the forest banshee Denise soundlessly appearing not far away.
Appeared and walked over, and heard Saran say as he walked: "If you are too deeply affected by the abyss, the witch power in you will cause you to be irreparably mutated, and eventually become a person who has lost all reason.
monster."
"Do you know about the abyss and the origin of our witch?" Sylvia saw Saran appear, her expression became a little serious, and she asked in a deep voice.
"Of course I know. In fact, the gatekeepers of all generations have known these things." Saran admitted generously.
Sylvia was about to open her mouth to continue questioning, but Selan had already spoken first: "You didn't tell us such an important thing?"
"Do you think your situation has changed in any way after telling you these things?" Saran asked.
"But..." Seran faced the rhetorical question and didn't know how to refute it for a moment. He could only say forcefully: "But you also need to tell us. After all, this matter is related to our lives."
"Wrong, this matter has nothing to do with your life safety. In fact, witches rarely lose control of their power before death." Saran, who had already walked up to the crowd, retorted, and then seemed to sense.
He looked at Selan and Sylvia respectively as if something had happened, and said: "But you two may be an exception."
"Exception?" Sylvia asked with some displeasure, "What do you mean?"
Saran said in a deep voice: "It means that you awakened your bloodline by directly taking the demon crystal."
"Is there anything wrong with this method of awakening blood?" Leo frowned and asked with some concern.
Saran looked at Leo and was not surprised that Leo would appear here. She turned her head and looked at Sylvia and said: "Not only is there no problem with this method of bloodline awakening, it is actually the most formal one."
The method of awakening the witch's bloodline. The bloodline you awaken through this method will go further and increase in strength faster than the witches who awaken the bloodline through other methods."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Selan said innocently without understanding the other meaning of the other party's words.
Sylvia shook her head and said: "The faster our power increases, it also means that the improved power is more difficult to control. In other words, our chance of becoming an out-of-control witch is much greater than that of other witches, just like back then.
Just like the death witch Lilith."
"Yes, just like the death witch Lilith." Saran nodded and confirmed Sylvia's speculation.
Leo couldn't help but frown when he heard their conversation. Especially after hearing about the death witch Lilith, he immediately recalled some information related to it in his mind.
Death Witch Lilith is a witch from hundreds of years ago, and can also be said to be the most famous witch in the Velen world. She appears in various literature and dramas in the Velen world, but she often plays an ugly, evil character in them.
witch, witch.
It can be said that most of the bad reputation of the witch group is related to the death witch Lilith. She has done everything related to evil and madness in the world of Velen. Hundreds of thousands died directly or indirectly at her hands, almost more than
There was a large-scale national war, so she also got the title of Death Witch.
The outside world describes Lilith as having an evil nature. Now it seems that the death witch became evil because of the influence of the abyss.
Seran couldn't help complaining: "Since the demon crystal is so dangerous to awaken the bloodline, why didn't you ever tell me? If you did, why would we use the demon crystal directly?"
"The reason why I don't say it is because there has never been a witch who directly used the magic crystal like you two." Saran rolled his eyes at the other party angrily and said, "Do you still remember the information you saw? Use the magic crystal directly.
There is a high chance that the crystal will fail to awaken. Once it fails, it will take a long time to awaken again. However, if you use the magic crystal to make a potion, the chance of awakening will be much greater, and there will be no adverse effects.
But after you got the Demonic Crystal, you took it directly and your bloodline was still awakened. I don’t know if this is good luck for you? Or bad luck?"
After hearing Saran's words, Sylvia and Saran's expressions became much calmer. They both thought that in the situation at that time, if they did not take the magic crystal, they would be able to survive by awakening their bloodline.
If they had the strength to resist the unknown influence and regain their ability to move, they might have died in the snowstorm now, so they did not regret awakening their bloodline through that method, and if they did it again, they would know that there would be hidden dangers.
, will also use this method to awaken their bloodline, because there is no way out for them at that time.
"Is there any way to solve this hidden danger?" Leo, who was also concerned about this problem, asked the two of them.
"Of course there is. After all, so many years have passed. How could the witch know that there would be such a hidden danger and not think of a way to solve it." Saran gave an affirmative answer, but did not continue, but turned to look at
Leo asked: "But before I talk about this question, I am a little curious, why does Mr. Leo Dodd come here? Or is there something here that attracts you?"
"What do you think?" Leo did not answer directly.
Saran looked at the obvious pothole not far away, then looked up at the mist-shrouded mountains, and said: "Don't you think that this place is really real after reading the book "Witch Mountains" by the great adventurer Will Jackson?
