"After that, no one dared to go there. We would get sick if we went there, and the hospital seemed to be unable to do anything about it. Those officials later came again and emphasized the matter, saying that it was very dangerous and we were not allowed to go in. If we were discovered, we would be
There are very serious punishments." The old man seemed to be endorsing, "Actually, even if they didn't say it, looking at the looks of those people, we didn't have the courage at that time. It's not a good disease, it's very painful."
"Didn't those officials explain the specific reasons?" Cassia asked, "Such a matter must be within the scope of their management and handling. There should be some explanation, right?"
"This,,,I don't remember clearly. There was no explanation. Later, it seemed that they really didn't say anything at all. They came twice. Apart from increasing the scope of the dangerous warning lines, they didn't say anything else.
What."
"Young man, you don't want to go in, do you? It's best not to go in. You look very strong, but those people decades ago were all like you, very strong. But after you come back, ordinary people
They all look the same." The old man persuaded, but judging from their appearance, it was just words. Whether it can have any effect depends on the decision of the young man in front of him.
The sky turned completely dark during the conversation, and the temperature quickly dropped a bit, but more old people gathered around, and this seemed to be the only place where they could spend time in their lives. Most of them were of the same age, and there were some younger ones, and some
With black hair.
The people here all came from the nearest city and planned to spend the rest of their lives here. Cassia asked a few people again and got basically the same answers. The imperial management agency did not do much to deal with it. According to
From the words of these old people, he guessed that the reason for this might be that it was originally an uninhabited land, which had been there a long time ago. It would not involve anything else, so the subsequent processing was gradually forgotten amid the delay.
Back at the limo, Cassia was preparing to set off again early tomorrow morning. There were no lights ahead. Although the surgeon's eyes could capture the general scene under the dim light at night, to get more clues, Cassia wanted to ask more questions.
Ask others.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Cassia was the only one left in the small square. Adding a few logs to the fire in front of her, Cassia sorted out the collected information. Naturally, she related the strange symptoms to the second generation.
The Holy Sword was connected. He had never seen the Holy Sword himself, and he only knew a little bit of the basic information about the Holy Sword, but he didn't come up with anything in the end.
After spending a night in the limo, it was getting brighter the next day. Cassia bought some food from the nearest old people and continued to move towards the mountains in front of her along the almost invisible dirt road.
"If you feel uncomfortable, remember to turn back immediately. The current hospital should be able to cure that kind of disease." The old man finally reminded him kindly, and Cassia nodded in agreement.
On both sides of the road, several other towns that the old people mentioned came into view one after another, surrounded by lush grass. In a few years, they may become completely ruins covered by weeds.
Soon after, the dirt road disappeared, and there were only weeds and more and more dense trees around. Some concave earth bags began to appear on the flat ground, and when the weeds and soil on them were peeled away, black rocks emerged.
"Have you entered the area covered by the volcanic eruption?" Cassia stopped the limousine and looked at the mountains in front of her. The exposed rocks like ferocious scars could be clearly seen, and the same clusters of weeds gradually
It was replaced by dense trees, and the limousine could not drive in.
After camouflaging the limo, grabbing a gun and a forged steel sword, Cassia planned to walk to the lake at the foot of the mountain to discuss the rest of the plan.
Over the past few decades, the surrounding environment has completely changed. According to the old people, there has always been a flat land in front of the lake, and the town's crops were grown on it. But it is no longer there now.
As farmland should look like, the trees became denser and denser as we moved forward, becoming a forest. The trees became thicker and thicker, but Cassia noticed something strange. They seemed to have a strange disease, and there were almost no straight trees.
The trees were all twisted and twisted into a ball.
At this time, Cassia climbed up to the middle of a tall tree, and through a piece of enchanting green leaves, a calm lake appeared in the distance.
There were probably less than five thousand meters to go. When Cassia was muttering to herself, she tilted her head slightly and reached forward with her right hand. When she stopped, she already had something caught between her fingers.
It was a green snake, and its soft body changed color at this time, from the tan color of the tree trunk to a uniform green. It was still struggling, and its trunk was wrapped around Cassia's arm, about one and a half meters in length.
The color also changed again, becoming the same mottled camouflage as Cassia's clothes. Between the two sharp fangs, a dark red tongue kept moving up and down. Cassia's fingers were strong enough to crush its skull, and the pain and pain passed through it.
The danger made the snake want to run away.
"Natural mimicry?" What Cassia cares about is not its fangs, but the danger signal that never appeared in his perception before the snake attacked him. It's not that the danger is too low to notice, Cassia is even more
It tends to be the ability of the snake itself. After all, he has never seen a snake with scales like a chameleon in the book, and it has excellent hiding ability, so it would not be surprising.
"Class II creature?" Cassia shook his head as he thought. He opened the snake's belly and did not feel anything when his fingers came into contact with the blood. Even if he used the devouring method, he still did not feel the snake's blood.
Any trace of dragon blood.
"It's probably a species that migrated from the edge of the southern forest." Cassia finally judged. Without thinking much, he got down from the tree and continued moving forward. After a few minutes, he stopped and his face became more cautious.
I don’t know when I started to feel a slight burning sensation on my fingers. The skin was slightly corroded. If you look closely, you can see a very shallow pit that was dissolved on it. Up to the belly of the fingers, there was a slight burning sensation.
red. However, there was no feeling of poisoning in his body, and the toxicity of the blood that corroded the skin could not penetrate his skin and enter his body.
At this time, Cassia remembered what those old people said - her skin was also a lot redder, as if she had been exposed to the sun for a long time,,,
Do the animals here suffer from the same strange symptoms? Or is it the same situation with the plants here? Looking at the twisted trees around him, Cassia breathed out: "Is this the influence of the Holy Sword? It seems that the first
The Acting Knight King Grote and Sucarius both have the same character. They always hide things and don’t tell me everything.” (To be continued)
