Chapter 173: One hundred and seventy-two: Fall into the dark and walk with death
When Xian Yu actually arrived at Ba Ling Island, he understood why the child was so scared.
Heavy rains continue, and thunderstorms occur frequently, comparable to the thunderstorm areas in the Inazuma Sea area.
In addition, there is an ancient malevolence floating here, eroding this land all the time.
What's even more strange is that there aren't any living beings seen here.
Yes, there is no living creature, not just humans, not even animals.
This situation is unimaginable and it is the first time for Xian Yu to encounter it.
Even in Guyun Pavilion in Liyue, there are living creatures alive, but not here. You can imagine that this place must be a desperate place!
I knelt down and picked up the soil and smelled it. The fishy smell hit my nostrils. It was a mixture of rotting corpses and soil.
"Such a heavy rain did not wash away the stench..."
Moreover, the thunder in the sky was probably caused by the devil, so the rumors he heard before must be true.
Just jump into the air and watch from a high altitude.
"Huh? That's..."
The dense elemental power formed a purple light mist, rising from a cliff.
He didn't care about the elemental power, what he cared about was the skeleton at the cliff.
Landing on the skeleton, looking away, it actually stretches for hundreds of meters.
Plus huge cliffs.
"This skeleton is just a section, not the whole picture, and this huge broken wall... seems to be left behind by a slash?"
I'm not sure because it was so long ago that although both sides of the stone wall are smooth, they have been washed away by time and eroded many marks.
But this trace was obviously caused by a weapon.
One move cut through an island thousands of miles away. Such a powerful attack could almost be concluded to have come from the hands of the devil.
Combining the known information, it is easy to guess who was responsible for the blow.
Inazuma's god - Raiden Shogun!
"Such destructive power...I don't know if it is full power, if not..."
Looking at the slash marks that still exuded powerful elemental power, Xian Yu fell into thinking.
He could also achieve this level of destructive power, but only after using all his strength. And this... he wasn't sure if it was an ordinary blow from the God of Thunder.
Collect your thoughts and prepare to look around.
Although this place is dangerous, it cannot be the Land of Desolation, and what he is looking for is in this area, so it is best to find a local.
Ba Ling Island is said to be an island, but its area is not small. At least Xian Yu did not reach the other end after flying for a long time.
This is still flying in a straight line without turning.
This shows how big this "island" is.
What is the difference between looking for a sword on the island and looking for a needle in a haystack?
Even if Xian Yu let go of his senses, he still couldn't find any relevant traces.
However, several other huge skeletons were found.
These bones had no effect on Xian Yu. He just extracted some crystal ores and left them alone.
Just like Du Lin's skeletons, too much time has passed, most of the strength has been lost, and the bones have become loose.
…………
"Misha, you said you knew that person? Why did he become like that?"
The girl named Misa had a face full of sadness. Although she escaped because of her sister "Kamiko", she also witnessed the tragedy of that day with her own eyes.
No one in the village survived except her and Kijiro.
If it hadn't been for several rebels passing by behind, she doesn't know if she would have survived.
I thought that Kijiro would be living somewhere else now, but I didn't expect that this time there was a miko sister who came out with the two rebels, and actually saw my sweetheart.
What was even more unexpected was that the other party turned out to be the evil ghost who turned Ba Ling Island into the land of Shura some time ago.
With his own efforts, he forced the defenders and their resistance forces to cease fighting, and wherever they went, life was extinguished.
This is Kijiro now, the person she likes.
"Maybe... it's because of hate..."
When Misa said this, she shed tears.
"hatred?"
The four people traveling with us, two guards, and a witch, are all affiliated with the Coral Palace. They just came here to pick some Dendrobium for treatment.
The person who spoke out was also the miko next to her.
"Well, hate, even I have never let go of the hatred in my heart. I still remember clearly what happened that day."
"And Kijiro... he probably remembers it too, so he turned into a demon..."
What kind of hatred can make a boy who originally yearns for a better life abandon his "human" side, completely fall into darkness, and become a companion of killing?
Can't imagine.
Although the experiences of the three of them were not very good, there was always a light shining in their hearts and they embraced life.
Tears kept flowing, and the sadness in her heart was uncontrollable, but Misa still told these things.
"Stop talking, Misa!"
Seeing Misa sinking into sadness and hatred, Lingyi shouted to stop.
Doing this is not only to win back your good friends, but also for the sake of the people present.
This is Hachi Island! The place where the Demon God Orobus and Orobas fell, and there is endless resentment left. Once it resonates, Misa may also fall into darkness.
"Yes...I'm sorry, Sister Lingyi, I'm just very sad, it's okay..."
She said it was okay, but Lingyi still noticed that Misa's tears kept flowing.
"Don't be too sad, Misa. We will explain the reason to Xinhai later. Maybe she can save Kijiro, sir."
When Misa heard Lingyi talking about Lord Xinhai, hope seemed to ignite in her heart.
"Really? Does Master Xinhai really have a way?"
Lingyi actually didn't know if she could save the boy named Kijiro.
But whether as a friend or a miko, she didn't want Misa to suffer forever and let this sadness accompany her throughout her life.
"Well! Don't worry, Lady Xinhai is the 'Miko of the Goddess', I believe she will find a way!"
The trip to collect herbs was very short. Lingyi only dared to hurriedly pick a few Dendrobium trees in the periphery, and then left with Mesa.
The environment of Yaoji Island is already harsh, and now there is "Kijiro" who wanders here all the time, so no one dares to come.
In the past, there were some unbelieving adventurers and treasure-thief groups who wanted to learn more about the Demonic God's ruins, but those who finally entered never came out again.
Even one of the chosen ones from their Coral Palace never appeared again.
The people who followed Tian Ling also had a hard time. Even their leader, Kujo Sura, was wounded by a sword during an investigation.
I heard that I haven't recovered yet.
The appearance of Kijiro cannot be said to be only harmful, but also allowed their Coral Palace to rest and recuperate.
The long-term battle, casualties, and supplies can be said to be huge.
…
On a beach, "Kijiro" wearing blood armor stood with a sword.
Thunder kept falling all around, but he remained motionless, like a statue.
The bright red blood on the ground was constantly being pulled and disappeared.
Lightning flashed again, and there were no bloody figures on the spot, leaving only seven or eight dry corpses.
There are... a few badges on the ground.
The pattern seems a bit like that of the solstice.
