Victor didn't care about the monster's name, he focused entirely on his heavenly eye, and the picture shown by the heavenly eye was a body without eight gates and chaotic energy.
This state is similar to that of the Sphinx, which means that this winged humanoid creature known as the Sky Guard may not be a real living creature.
It is very possible that even the Samadhi True Fire cannot stop its action, and there are more such things in the sky.
Victor tightened the reins and immediately turned the head of the mount under his crotch, making it run in another direction, away from the giant in front of him.
Klein had held his breath and was too frightened to say a word.
Sitting in the back, he could clearly feel the pursuit of this huge winged monster.
Compared to the name "Sky Guard", they look more like giant statues with wings.
Giant sculpture-like statues can be seen everywhere in the city, and they almost all come to life after the high priest issues an order.
Victor knew very well that he could not fight this kind of thing head-on. He needed to get away from the open area as soon as possible. Running here would become a very obvious target.
Although the land of the Uruk Dynasty was deserted in large areas, it was not without forests and vegetation.
With the help of his mount, Victor saw a dense forest in the distance, and the area was quite large.
The trunk of the tree is tall and straight. Although the crown of the tree is not wide, it grows very densely. If you can hide inside and cooperate with the water spell, you should be able to get rid of those things in the sky.
Thinking of this, Victor galloped towards the woods.
The whistling sound overhead was getting closer and closer, and the long-legged lizard was still slower than the winged sky guard, but fortunately the woods ahead were not far away.
However, at this time, Klein seemed to have recovered from his panic and stared at the woods for a long time.
He saw the species of the tree and recalled a terrible legend.
"It's a cedar forest! A cedar forest!%%￥%..."
His shouts were drowned in the howling of the galloping wind. Victor only heard the word "cedar tree", then ignored everything else and rushed into the forest.
The strange thing is that when he rode in, the long-legged lizard, which was originally very docile, suddenly became uncontrollable.
It hissed and its head kept swinging. No matter how hard Victor pulled the reins, he was unable to stabilize the creature until it was violently thrown off.
The two fell to the ground at the same time, rolling down until they stopped.
When Victor climbed up with difficulty, the mount was already gone.
The long-legged lizard had already escaped, and not only that, even Klein didn't know where he was thrown.
Victor used his Sky Eye to observe the flow of air in the surrounding environment, and then looked up above. No flying objects were found in the sky obscured by the tree canopy.
"Didn't you come after me?"
Although it was expected that the forest could hinder the Sky Guard's attack, those things didn't seem to make any attempt to continue the pursuit and stayed outside the woods.
"strangeness……"
He lowered his gaze and continued to observe his surroundings.
At this time, some rustling sounds came from the bushes nearby.
Victor's vigilance suddenly rose. Just as he was about to draw a spell, he heard Klein's whisper.
"Come here...come here quickly!"
Victor's celestial eye also discovered the flow of Qi from the human body in the bush, so he bent forward and passed through it.
Klein grabbed his arm and pulled him in front of him.
"Why did you enter the cedar forest? Your decision is too stupid. You should listen to me first!"
Victor didn't quite understand what he meant.
The light inside was very dim, and the entire country was only illuminated by the mysterious light source above the giant building at night. Victor could hardly see the faces of the nobles in front of him clearly.
"This is a place where even the locals from Akkad dare not come in, including the high priest!"
Upon hearing this, Victor realized that Klein must know something, so he asked him to answer quickly.
Klein swallowed his saliva and reminded in a low voice: "Among this primitive and barbaric ethnic group, there are legends about this cedar forest. I occasionally heard them mention that there is a very terrifying devil hidden in it, named
Called Humbaba."
What a funny devil's name.
Victor complained in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
"Any creature that enters the cedar forest cannot survive, but you have led us into a dead end!"
Klein is obviously complaining about Victor.
But Victor didn't care about this. He asked: "Aren't we still alive now?"
Klein was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's just temporary. Don't be too optimistic. We'd better wait quietly until morning."
Victor was even more curious about how this guy stayed in Akkad for a month.
His first impression of that city was that the people in it were all slave laborers controlled by some kind of mind. Apart from building the giant tower and the city, they had almost no ability to think independently. How did Klein communicate with those people?
What about?
Unless... In fact, some residents in the city have self-awareness.
He thought again about the possibility that had occurred to him when he had fled for his life.
There are workers of various nationalities in the city of Akkad. If he really traveled through time and came to the ancient Uruk Dynasty, then shouldn't the people living on this land be all the old people of Nippur?
So could it be like this - all slaves from foreign races are in the same situation as Victor, and were brought here inexplicably.
They are not seers. They are spiritually weak. They were affected by the power of the high priest and lost their self-awareness. However, the city residents who were originally Nippur people actually have self-awareness, but their nation itself identifies with the Hero King.
's rule?
"Can you say more about Humbaba?"
Victor looked at Klein.
Klein paused for a moment and replied: "According to legend, in order to gain power, the god of the Uruk Dynasty, their hero king, killed a mysterious monster in the fog-shrouded cedar forest and took the head back.
He took the throne and left his headless body there."
"From then on, the Hero King got the throne, but the forest was cursed. The dead monsters were strangely resurrected. All creatures that stepped into it would be devoured. People named him Humbaba in Nippur language, which means
A devil to be avoided.”
Listening to Klein's eloquent speech, Victor felt that he was listening to myths and legends instead of the truth.
However, this guy's words revealed a strange contradiction.
Victor smiled maliciously and saw everything, and suddenly interrupted him: "That's it, but I remember that when I mentioned the Uruk Dynasty before, you said you didn't understand it, but it seems that you do.
Get more.”
Klein was stunned after hearing this. He realized that he had let slip the truth and wanted to crawl out, but Victor grabbed his arm and used force with his five fingers.
"My lord, don't we have to wait until daylight to take action? Are you not afraid of death now?"
