Historical Heritage—The Battle to Defend the World Tree Chapter 48 Waiting
"Well, since Sophia and the others took over my work, I haven't done any blending for a long time, and I don't have the energy to study it. I can't see any effect for the time being, and if you don't have a clue, wait until we get together and give it to the others.
Let's take a look. We have to search this place to see if there are any clues."
Alexander began to search the village to see if there were any clues.
Most of the monsters in the building broke out. She ignored the humanoids and entered a house to check. However, she was unable to conduct a detailed search while guarding against attacks.
Judging from the furnishings of the house after entering, there were only some collision marks caused by the unconscious movement of human figures. These people seemed to have suddenly turned into monsters, with no signs of resistance or panic. There was also fat and solidified broth on the stove.
Judging from the dust, at least three months have passed since the mutation occurred.
However, if we don't kill the humanoids that try to attack again and search carefully, there will be no information in this room. So Alexander exited the building. "No, let's withdraw first. I will meditate to restore the magic power, and then we will
Lure out the remaining monsters in the house and kill them all."
"Well, I always feel that we need to solve the problems here as soon as possible. Maybe there are some unknown secrets about the underground city here." Zate took the lead to stay away from the village.
After the break, Alexander used up all the holy water arrows and there were still nine left, so he had to use the power of protection to burn them all.
In the end, the blood-colored polymer became the size of a fist. After carefully searching the village, several people obtained information about the time from a diary of the village chief.
The group of people disappeared in mid-February. The last diary entry was dated August 27th of the eighth year, and the estimated time is now at least November.
In other words, during the almost short time that the group spent in the space rift, more than half a year passed in the material plane, more than 270 days to be precise.
It is also certain that the reason for the mutation of these villagers should have nothing to do with the dungeon, after all, it took a long time.
"It's been so long?!" Alexander was shocked.
"I thought it was our fault that caused the tragedy here." Zate patted his chest.
"It's over, it's over. Maybe there are already rumors in the world that our Thirteen Mad Wolf Mercenary Group failed to complete its mission and took the Queen's money and ran away. Ahhhh..." Alexander looked hopeless.
"Ah this." Although Jiujiu didn't quite understand the seriousness of the matter, he also knew that he seemed to have lost face.
"Calm down Alexander, maybe the matter is not as serious as you think." Zate turned the diary forward and checked other times. But the records were all trivial things. However, on July 14th, an explorer came to investigate the plague.
event.
Zate found that the grammar of some words was confusing, and he couldn't figure out the meaning of some short sentences. Many ordinary people can't read and write, which is normal. Maybe it would be better to show it to others. "Well, Alexander, I'm here
I don't understand something, why don't you take a look?" Yaren handed the diary to Alexander.
"Where?" Alexander took it and took a look.
"Well, here, and here." Zate pointed to several locations. She turned over the pages, and Alexander made judgments based on the context. It took about a quarter of an hour to sort out all the confusing parts of the diary.
Interpreted.
This gave several people another piece of information. The location of this village is east of Ndigon, which is the long mountain range west of the border of the principality.
Going further west, you will reach the old border line before the principality unified the surrounding areas.
In other words, if you go west along the north road, you will reach the territories of the small countries that were extinct in the principality, and if you go east, you will reach the hinterland of the principality.
The explorers who had gone before were heading west along the road in this direction to investigate the plague, which seemed to have spread from cities outside the border.
"Okay, I took a look at it. The good news is that we are still within the territory of the principality. If we take the north road, the explorers who came before were going to investigate this... plague? The general direction is that if we go east, we can return.
To Rosemar." Alexander touched his chin and fell into thinking. "I think maybe we can go to the north road first. After all, the situation here seems to be related to that underground city. Maybe we can
What clues can we find to prevent us from being thrown out by that weirdo again when we go to the dungeon again, and it’s been half a year? Maybe we should first confirm that we are not wanted. What do you think?"
"I can do it." Dinefel has always been indifferent. Now he is temporarily confused. His body is better than before, but his soul's improvement has been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time.
"I agree with Alexander, let's investigate the plague by the way." Zate said.
Jiujiu's mind was empty. "I heard it."
"Well, it's decided. In this case, let's rest for a while, I will recover my magic power, and tell Sophia and the others about the situation." Alexander began to contact Sophia to tell her about the time and location.
After a rest, with Alexander as the backbone, who had his own opinion most of the time, the three of them headed westward.
Continuously moving forward, the group leader discovered a village built on both sides of the road with his super eyesight.
And a real living creature was lying behind a stone on the edge of the village, observing a barn. It had medium-length white hair and strange black and red decorations, but its shoes were tattered and looked a bit nondescript.
"Oh, I finally saw the village after walking for so long, and there is a living person in front of me. Walk slowly over, don't be too excited and scare the person. We still have to ask questions." Alexander walked towards the living creature,
When the distance is about the same, start to slow down.
What she did was very good. For a survivor in a crisis situation, doubt and fear may prevail when seeing a living person. Not everyone is so rational.
[Well, it seems like communication is possible, let’s keep the story short.] Zate simply communicated with his teammates through the emblem.
[I know.] Alexander has always been good at dealing with this kind of situation. "Hello, lady, we are explorers who are investigating the situation related to strange and unclean creatures nearby. We have some questions to ask. You have time now.
?" Alexander stepped forward to say hello, trying to be as kind as possible.
But some not-so-loud noises startled the broad, black figure in the aisle on one side of the barn. From this angle, Alexander couldn't see it.
"Huh?" The girl tilted her head and looked over. "Oh, is it a living person? It can still talk, which is rare, or is it a newly evolved species?"
The human figure raised its arm and bumped into Xilin.
Several people saw a black humanoid with strong mobility rushing out and punching the girl who was not far away in front of them.
"It seems I came at the wrong time, let's fight." Alexander immediately took out his bow.
A moment of powerful impact activated every cell in Sirin Tiko's body, and at the same time some forgotten memories before the great amnesia appeared.
The wounds that first appeared on his body in front of the village were not the lash of nature in the plains and woods.
Drawing blood, cutting flesh, injecting sedatives, opening surgeries, and even removing eyeballs, these damaged memories caused phantom pain. This made Sirin's body shape begin to become unstable, but the cells continued to divide, and artificially cut and pieced together to perfection.
Genes began to divide crazily.
What are those, the girl thought about in the air. [Hey, could it be that I have a masochism, will I remember such important things after being beaten?] Memories are stored in genes, maybe there is something - thoughts are confused,
Thoughts stagnate.
But her gifted brain instantly woke her up, causing her to stop "thinking about this kind of thing" and focus on the current scene.
She landed lightly in the air. The good news is that at least she didn't fall to the ground. However, the girl had nothing to do with this thing. Before, she had always tried to lure it into a fire pit and wait for it to die on its own.
Now speaking of the fire pit - she saw the group of people walking over, or rather, one of the people in the group.
"What, what is this? Please be careful." Xilin was frightened when she saw the big bird mouthing human words and began to shrink back.
The girl took out four bottles of magic oil in her hand and shouted at the people over there at the same volume as she had just said: "I have something to say, this thing only takes fire damage... Well, it has the effect of magic oil. Just these four bottles, I
If you can't beat that thing, cutting it with a knife is no different from scratching it. If you don't have a stable way to hurt it, feel free to use these four bottles of oil."
"Ah, that's it... the things we used to deal with this thing before are indeed almost used." Alexander thought for a while and decided to try it first. "Thank you very much."
"Come on." The girl shrugged. "My fighting skills are not good, so my coordination ability is more reliable."
Seeing the humanoid approaching the girl again, with a faint white glow on the stick-shaped sword, Dinefel rushed over and struck hard.
With one blow, the powerful attack turned the monster into flesh and blood. The second knife was swung away directly. However, the flesh and blood gathered at a high speed, and the human form turned into a flesh-and-blood creature again.
Seeing this annoying monster again, Jiujiu felt very helpless. He had no choice but to spread his wings and fly away.
As Zate sang, a magic trick appeared and shot at the monster. She repeated the useless attack, and had attracted the humanoid's attention by singing from a hundred meters away. This time, she was closer to the village.
Scout Jiujiu saw a humanoid figure near the building on this side of the road in the air - that is, half of the village's humanoid figure moving this way.
