What they saw was a village filled with deathly silence. There was not a single soul in the whole village, and even the animals that were supposed to be kept in the animal sheds had no shadow.
Tristan looked at all this with confusion, and finally his eyes fell on a piece of shriveled skin on the ground.
fur?
To be precise, it's fur wearing clothing.
But it is completely different from ordinary animal skin. Its texture is drier, as if it has been dehydrated at the moment of peeling. In fact, it is spread out on the ground like a piece of paper, boring and flat.
At first glance, I can’t tell that this skin is special.
But Ivan walked to a village house and opened the door impudently.
Everyone thought there would be an enemy rushing out of the house, and quickly prepared themselves on guard. What they waited for was another period of deathly silence.
The room smelled rotten, but the source of the stench was not the corpses, but the food that had been on the table for several days.
There are also two pieces of withered skin placed next to the table. The human figures composed of these withered skins are lying on the table in a very strange posture, giving off a strange atmosphere.
It was as if someone was suddenly attacked by something while eating. Before he could resist, he was drained of water and died, turning into these two withered skins.
The fish-man prince was horrified by the sudden thought in his mind.
In order to suppress this inexplicable fear, he bravely laughed and said: "Foxes are so perverted, they actually play such a twisted game. Haha, what is this? Put two animal skins on the table to play the role.
?"
Ivan said with a gloomy face: "They are not animal skins. They once lived."
This sentence made Tristan's fears come true.
"These...are the corpses of fox people?" Bedivere (Albert) sighed in disbelief as he looked at the flat and shriveled fur.
"Weak life response detected. This way!" Boles knocked on the door and entered a room.
It was a bedroom. Two beds were side by side. On one of the beds lay a shriveled corpse. Its fur was not much different from the ones seen before, but it was slightly plumper.
Just after everyone broke into the room, the "fur" moved slightly.
He seemed to want to say something.
Merlin walked to the bed and cast a magic spell on the fur, "Don't be afraid, I'm using healing magic to prolong your life. What do you want to say?"
The thing made a very weak sound, but under the influence of Merlin's magic, the sound was amplified to the point where everyone could hear and understand: "Monster..."
"Monster?" Ivan asked, "What kind of monster and what does it look like?!"
"The monster... wears the skin of Patriarch Leonard... but inside is that kind of slime... it sucks up everyone..."
!"
Tristan gasped.
Ivan hurriedly asked: "What on earth is it! How can I kill it? Tell me quickly!"
"...All of this... is our fault..." The thing's voice became smaller and smaller. It seemed that even Merlin's magic could no longer make it so quiet.
The pitiful voice grew louder, "It's just that I didn't listen to that woman at first..."
After saying that, the fur was completely dry and dead.
Merlin carefully inspected the body of the fox-man, "All the cells in the body were liquefied and then sucked out, not even the bones were left. This way of death is really unbearable, even for a race full of evil like the fox-people."
"
The fishman prince frowned. This way of death was really terrifying. He was afraid that something like this would happen to him one day.
"So, everyone in this village is dead? They were attacked and killed by the [monster] he said?"
"Probably." Ivan used the eagle eye technique to observe the surrounding terrain, "Moreover, the monster has also gone northwest. It is probably the same destination as us."
"Could he be the owner of that huge footprint just now?" Bedivere was about to ask, but as soon as he spoke, he realized how stupid he was: [Big Foot] passed by just five minutes ago, but this village passed by several days ago.
was attacked.
"This is not the time to speculate, let's go." Ivan walked out of the bedroom, "The foxes were killed by the monsters I researched. It's your own fault. This is just right, as it saves us from having to sneak all the way. Tristan, the road ahead is a mountain range.
, your sled doesn’t work anymore, is there any better way to travel?”
"Oh, don't ask me. Master Merlin? You have great powers, so you must have a way, right?" The fish-man prince looked at the young mage expectantly. As soon as he asked this question, everyone present stared at Mo Lin.
Lin looks.
"Oh, here we go again!" the master said, hiding his face.
"Don't worry, no matter what magic weapon you bring out, we won't tell anyone." Tristan said with a smile.
Ten minutes later, Master Merlin attached a box full of photon reflectors to the bottom of the giant sled, and after starting it, the entire sled floated.
After installing the previously used thrusters, this thing made of ice is no longer a sled, it is already an excellent anti-gravity spacecraft.
"Gee, I really didn't expect that we could transform a piece of ice into such a high-tech gadget." Tristan looked at the ice ship, his eyes shining brightly, "Mage, can you give me those two small boxes?"
? They are really the best props in time. "S (super-civilization heritage) cannot be given to people of this era, otherwise it will disrupt the destiny of this era." Merlin said. s? You can forget it if you don't give it, at least
Tell me where I can dig it out." The fishman prince shamelessly pestered the mage.
Merlin sneered. He made this thing himself, and it is impossible to dig out any ancient ruins.
"Okay," Ivan jumped onto the spacecraft, "We've delayed long enough, let's leave quickly. Rabbit, keep your time and space ring ready at any time. Once we find danger, we will get into the mirror world."
"Is it necessary to hide your head and show your tail like this?" Tristan jumped on the boat, and the boat shook slightly.
"Of course." Ivan Rabediville boarded the boat, "Maybe our initial idea was wrong. Big mistake."
"What do you mean?" Ryder also jumped onto the boat. His jumping movements were so similar to that of a rabbit.
"I always thought that Romani's territory was heavily guarded and full of enemy ambushes. But the truth may be completely the opposite." Ivan pulled Lianyin onto the boat, "Due to biochemical leaks, the foxes had already died under the attack of dark creatures."
It's light. What's running rampant in this wilderness is not enemy troops, but wild dark creatures."
Thinking about the previous attack by dark crawlers, it was exactly the same. It was not a planned attack, but rather like the usual hunting rhythm of Warcraft.
"So, according to you, is it ------" Pasiva climbed onto the spacecraft, and the armor on his body rubbed against the ice of the spacecraft, making a harsh sound.
"------Yes, this place has become a dead area where dark creatures are rampant, and what we encountered before were all dark sub-infected creatures that leaked from this area." Ivan replied seriously.
Things are worse than imagined. If nothing is done, the spread of dark particles will become more and more serious, eventually turning the earth into the second Elison Pure Land.
And their action goals gradually became clear. There must be the leader of the dark creatures lurking in the territory of the Romani tribe. It is like the dragon queen Aialis in the pure land of Elison, commanding the actions of the dark army.
.
------Find the leader and destroy it. This is the message Elaine, the young white bear man, has always wanted to tell everyone.
The White Bear was clumsily climbing onto the spacecraft. As soon as he climbed up, the entire spacecraft sank an inch.
"Uh, Elaine, you have to lose weight." Constantine also climbed onto the spacecraft.
"Hug, sorry." The white bear scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
"Are you all on board?" Merlin fiddled with the control panel of the thruster, "Then, sit tight and steady, let's set off."
"Wait a minute," Ivan said hurriedly, "don't go too fast------waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Whoosh! The spaceship had already sped out like an arrow from its string, leaving everyone's screams at the same place.
