Outside the deserted village, the black land continues to spread outward.
On the black soil, dots of dried blood appeared, looking as good as new.
"Sir... do we really want to go in?"
In the outside world, the sound of horse hoofbeats came softly. Sitting on the horse, Sol showed a wry smile on his face, looked at Adil and asked.
"This is already the outskirts of the forbidden area. There is no sign of life around. If we go in again, we may encounter something weird."
A wry smile appeared on his face, he looked at Adil and advised: "If you need anything, you can send someone back to explore. There is no need to risk yourself in the forbidden area."
This is what he really thinks.
During this period of time, they have gained an extremely deep understanding of Adil's military power.
Even those terrifying monsters that could destroy a small army would not be able to do anything in Adir's hands.
This kind of force is shocking in this world. Even a well-informed person like Thor couldn't help but feel hot after seeing it.
With this kind of power, you can live a good life wherever you go, so why bother taking risks in those forbidden areas.
"If you don't want to go in, just wait for me outside."
After listening to Thor's words, Adil's expression remained unchanged as he looked at them and said.
"That's...okay."
After hesitating in his heart, Sol finally nodded and said nothing more.
"That's it."
After a while, when they reached a certain place, Adil spoke and motioned for the others to stop here before continuing to walk inside.
Behind him, looking at Adil's back, Thor hesitated in his heart.
There is a forbidden area ahead. In such a dangerous place, if you dare to go in with Adil, you might be able to gain some favor from him.
But the dangers of the forbidden area also need to be considered. Although the force Adier has shown during this period is amazing, if he really encounters those terrifying weirdos, I am afraid it will be very dangerous, and he may not be able to take care of them. Maybe in the end
Will fold them in.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, looked directly at the entourage beside him and said: "Let's wait here, remember not to run around."
On the side, listening to his words, the other people nodded silently.
Ahead, Adil's figure slowly walked past.
When he reached the gate of the village ahead, he stopped and looked ahead silently.
What lies ahead at this time is the ruins of a village.
There are dust and blood stains everywhere, like a former battlefield that has been silent here for hundreds of years.
"High-energy radiation detected..." The sound of chip machinery sounded in my mind.
Listening to the prompt sound of the chip in his mind, Adil's heart moved slightly and he strode in directly.
Walking into it, a faint smell of blood came from the distance, vaguely visible, but very clear.
Smelling this smell, Adil didn't react at all and still walked forward calmly.
At some point, something started to change around me.
A little noisy sound appeared in the originally quiet and terrifying ruins.
Listening to these voices, Adier was slightly stunned, couldn't help but turn around and look ahead.
The surrounding scene began to change.
On top of the original ruins, houses rose up one after another, and they all looked old.
Throughout the village, villagers walked by one after another, each doing their own thing, looking very busy.
But what is strange is that, standing in the village, these villagers seem to have not seen Adil, they are all doing their own things, and no one pays attention to him.
Standing among the crowd, Adil had a strange feeling of being isolated from the entire world.
Hee hee hee...
Children's laughter could be heard in the distance, attracting Adil's attention.
He looked towards the end of the village, where several children were chasing each other and playing, laughing loudly from time to time, which was endearing.
They laughed and ran quickly towards Adier, seemingly not noticing Adier standing in front of them.
"ah!"
There was a crisp collision sound, and a little boy slammed into Adil and fell directly to the ground, making a sound.
Falling to the ground, the boy shook his head, as if he didn't understand why he fell, so he raised his head and looked forward.
"Brother...you bumped into me."
He seemed to have discovered something. Looking at Adier standing in front of him, the boy's face wrinkled and he spoke in a very aggrieved tone.
As the boy spoke, the world around him suddenly returned to silence.
Staring quietly at the little boy in front of him, Adil looked calm and showed no reaction at all.
At some point, figures gathered around him.
Those were the villagers in the village. They were standing around Adil, with different faces staring at him blankly and indifferently.
"Hallucination?"
Feeling everything around him, this thought flashed through Adil's mind.
Before he could do anything, the surrounding scene changed again.
Dots of black and red blood continued to flow down. Under Adil's gaze, blood marks and wounds appeared on the faces of the surrounding villagers, covering their entire faces, making them look bloody.
And in front, the boy's skin began to disappear, leaving only bloody flesh.
He stood there, moaning in pain, looking very scary.
A small fire energy particle quickly gathered, condensing into a fireball with a violent aura in front of Adil, and hit the boy hard.
ah!
A sharp wail came.
Under Adil's gaze, the fireball in front of him passed over the boy's bloody body and hit the ground hard, creating a two-meter large fire pit on the ground.
The next moment, the scene suddenly changed, and the originally quiet environment became noisy again.
Adil turned around and looked around.
Behind him, the originally bloody figures had disappeared. In the distant houses, villagers who looked like ordinary people were busy with their own tasks, which looked so natural.
Hee hee hee...
The laughter of children appeared again ahead.
Under Adil's gaze, several children in front ran towards the place playfully. One of the boys bumped straight into Adil just like last time.
But this time, when the opponent was about to collide, Adil turned his body slightly to one side and avoided the opponent's figure without being touched by the opponent.
The children laughed and ran away into the distance, their figures gradually disappearing in the village.
But in the next moment, Adil's eyes narrowed.
In front of him, a burst of laughter sounded again, and several children ran towards here quickly, no change from before.
············
"Half an hour has passed and you haven't come out yet?"
Several hundred meters outside the village, on a piece of bare land, Sol and the others stood quietly, looking at the vaguely visible village in the distance, their faces a little solemn.
"Sir, will that knight..."
On the side, a black-robed guard looked into the distance, his face also solemn, and he spoke cryptically.
Listening to his words, the surroundings fell into silence for a moment, with just the sound of the howling breeze passing through my ears.
"We'll wait another half hour."
Looking at the existence in the distance, Thor said solemnly: "After half an hour, if the knight has not appeared, we will retreat and wait further away."
"Yes!" several people around responded.
"Ah!" an exclamation suddenly sounded.
"What's wrong?" The expressions of several people around him suddenly tightened. They reflexively touched their weapons, and then looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"Blood... so much blood..."
Beside them, Ariel looked to her side in fear.
Behind her, there was a small pit with black-red blood inside, which constantly emitted waves of stench.
There was some dry grass covering the small pit, so it was not discovered by them before, and it was not seen until now.
After looking at each other, Sol and others' expressions suddenly became solemn.
On the side, a black-robed guard pulled out the long knife on his waist and walked slowly towards the small pit.
He approached it cautiously, and after reaching a certain distance, without stepping forward, he directly used a knife to pick out the hay on it, revealing the covered scene.
It was a pit more than two meters wide, looked very deep, and was completely covered in black and red blood.
And above the bloody water, a ferocious human head quietly emerged, every inch of the skin was bloody, and a pair of blood-colored eyes were filled with malice, frozen in the moment before death.
If you look carefully, you can see that the head is not too big, it should be that of a child, and the skin on the surface has been peeled off, making it look very scary.
"Damn..."
Looking at this scene, the faces of several people present looked a little unhappy.
Standing on the spot, the black-robed guard who came forward gritted his teeth and directly touched forward with the long knife in his hand.
With a slight sound, he pulled the terrifying human head out of the bloody water and rolled straight onto the black ground.
"call···"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Thor breathed a sigh of relief, and the tight string in his heart relaxed: "It's okay, it's just a human head, it's nothing."
Standing around him, the other men in black robes secretly breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer as nervous as before.
Living in this world, for people like them, if they haven't seen a thousand corpses, there must be at least eight hundred. A mere scalped head is nothing at all.
As long as it's not something weird like a corpse, it's just a corpse, no matter how terrifying it is, it won't scare them.
Even Ariel, a young girl who had been scavenging in the wild for many years, had seen corpses more than once or twice. When she saw the human head, her face only turned pale and she didn't have much reaction.
They didn't pay much attention to this episode.
However, what they didn't notice was that in the original blood hole, as the head left its place, little ripples were emerging.
