Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1217 Black Feather
Angel still remembers that although the cold ancient ruins in the outside world are called "relics", according to Madeleine, there are no traces of buildings in that area, and even some people dug the ground three feet, but they did not find the so-called ruins .

At the beginning, Angor was also wondering, since it is called Hangu Ruins, why is there no trace of the ruins?Has it been completely corroded by the power of time?
Now it seems that the combination of the corpses of Gucia appearing here and the large number of aborigines cities they saw along the way just corresponded to Greewood's words.

Here, perhaps it is the Hangu ruins that have been covered in dust for tens of thousands of years!

The so-called "Hangu Ruins" by the outside world is just a platform leading to here.The real ruins are in this sealed continent!
……

Although the location has been roughly confirmed, how to leave has become another problem.

Angor looked at Greewood, if the cold ancient ruins outside are just a platform leading here, then there must be a passage.

Graywood shook his head: "I never thought that I would fall into the Hangu ruins, and I didn't inquire about the exit here, but in ancient times, there must be a way for the aborigines to leave here."

There is a way, but I don't know where.

When he was at a loss, he could only turn his gaze back to Gucia's body, hoping to get some clues from him.After all, Gucia came in from the outside world.

Popota began examining Gucia's body.

"Nothing is missing, the disposable space soft capsule is still there, but there are some wealth inside, and there are a lot of potions for healing injuries. It seems that Gu Xiya has made all preparations for coming to the abyss, but unfortunately something happened halfway." Popota lamented With a sound, he continued to protrude the energy and began to inspect the internal situation of the corpse: "From the degree of consumption of the remaining energy and some general traces, it can be basically judged that the time of death should be two months ago."

"There is damage to the internal organs, but it should not be the cause of death. It may be that the energy is not enough to withstand the damage of the physical body... Hey, there is a wound on the skull. It does not seem to be caused by energy. It looks a bit like it was pecked out by some kind of creature."

Popota looked back at Angor: "Before Gucia disappeared, there shouldn't be these injuries, right?"

Angor nodded.

Popota stood up, "Except for the skull wound, there is no other discovery, this should be a fatal injury."

The expressions of the two slowly became heavy, and it was not a fatal injury caused by the outside world, which meant that there was still some unknown creature here that killed Gucia.

Unknown creatures made them worry a lot.However, Gucia's body also gave some other clues. From the time of Gucia's death, it can be roughly inferred that he died not long after entering here.

In other words, the entrance for him to enter the Han Ancient Ruins from the outside world may be near this area.

Popota: "You said before that Gucia suffered from hysteria and had auditory hallucinations. He felt that someone was calling him, and then he disappeared. Could the person who called him be the one who killed him?"

"Hard to say."

Popota mentioned hysteria, and Angel recalled one more thing——

"After the disappearance of ancient West Asia, Bruffin once talked with me about the Hangu ruins. He said that over the past few hundred years, at least thousands of people have disappeared in the Hangu ruins. The frequency is not high, but it has accumulated There are many."

"Later, the Frost Moon Alliance did research and came to the same point: all the people who disappeared in the Hangu ruins had a hysterical hallucination before disappearing. In addition to feeling someone calling in their ears, they could also see a figure. " Angel recalled what Bruffin said at the time: "Finally, it was confirmed that the figure was a man wearing a black crow cloak. It was recorded in some documents that it was a death guide from the bottomless abyss——"

"Kurando!"

When Angor said the name, Greve immediately followed suit.

"you know too?"

Graywood nodded: "Kurando is the god of death, subordinate to an ancient man who masters the rules of death."

"The ancient? What is this?"

"Before the twilight of the gods, there are living beings. We call them ancients. Among them are demon gods, demons, and even aboriginals. Kurando himself seems to be an ancient."

Due to the limitation of his vision, Greewood doesn't know much. The only thing he knows is that Kurondo is a person who specializes in attracting the souls of the dead. He is called the guide of death among the aborigines. In the eyes of the devil, he is just a grim Reaper.

"Since he is the guide of death, could it be Kurondo who killed Gucia?" Popota asked.

Greve glanced at Popota, and didn't want to answer at first, but with the shopkeeper at his side, it still shook its head angrily, "I don't know, Kurondo's deeds are very far away from my life."

For a while, it seemed that the clue was broken again.In other words, the clues are too numerous to connect together.

"Regardless of whether it was Gu Cia killed by Kurondo or not, finding the way to leave now is the most important thing." Angel: "Continue to see if there are any clues here. If not, let's go to the wasteland. As I walked, I felt... not far from the place that called me. Maybe there will be an answer there."

There were still many corpses in this town, but they found no other useful clues.Occasionally there are human corpses, mostly those of apprentices.

In the end, nothing was found.

"Since there are no clues, let's move on." This time, they did not take the gondola, because Angel had already sensed that the place of calling was very close.

The figures of their group disappeared into the gray rain and fog.

……

A deep footprint was stepped on the ground, the heavy rain fell, and soon a puddle of water accumulated in the footprint.

Such puddles of water footprints continued into the depths of the wasteland.

Angel, who had insufficient control over his strength, accidentally stepped on another hole.Greve and Popota next to them continued to walk forward as if they hadn't seen them.

This eased Angor's embarrassment a little.

"Shopkeeper, can you feel who is calling you now?" Greewood asked suddenly.

Angel shook his head. He just felt that he was getting closer and closer to the place of calling, but he still couldn't perceive who was calling him, was it a certain life calling, or was he being guided by the continental consciousness?These are still questions.

And traveled a few miles.

The further he walked, the more intimacy Angel felt.

At the beginning, Gu Xiya also disappeared because he felt that someone was calling him.Before, Angel felt that Gucia's situation was very similar to his own.

But thinking about it now, they are still different.

After Gucia heard that he was called, he was hysterically repulsed, which was completely opposite to his own situation.

Having said that, Angel is still very vigilant.After all, Angel himself will also be able to confuse people's five senses and cognition.Maybe this kind of intimacy is an illusion deliberately created.

"Ahead, there seems to be a dark shadow?" Bobota pointed to the front.

Angor raised his head and looked into the distance. The front was still covered by rain and fog, but there was indeed a black shadow that was not very tall, but looked very tall and straight, standing still in the distance.

This is a wasteland, and I didn't even see a slightly larger stone along the way.Suddenly, a black figure appeared, rather abruptly.

The black shadow remained motionless, and they approached carefully and cautiously.

When they approached, they realized that the black shadow was not a living thing, but a dry tree.

Standing alone in the wilderness, alone in the rain.

"I thought that there would be no plants on this continent, but I didn't expect to see a tree. Although it is withered, it at least means that this place was once covered by vegetation." Popota sighed and moved towards Go in the direction of the tree.

Angor was going to follow, but was stopped by Graywood.

At this time, Popota had come near the tree, and after turning around the tree a few times, he realized that Angel and the others had not followed.

He walked over again, and when Popota stood in front of Greewood, doubts flashed in Greeve's eyes, and he muttered in a low voice: "It shouldn't be, I feel that there is something wrong with that tree, it seems that there is something wrong with it. A dangerous breath, why..."Are you going to be okay?
It wasn't until this moment that Angel understood the reason why Greve stopped him, probably because he felt that there would be danger ahead, and Popota was used by it as a pathfinding tool.

Popota also ignored Greewood, they are not a race in themselves, and they don't fight each other.

Angel shook his head and walked towards the tree.Now that Angel had stepped forward, Greve naturally followed.

When Greve came to the tree, he happened to see Angor take something from the dead tree and put it in the palm of his hand.

It leaned forward curiously: "What is this...feather?"

At this moment, what was placed in Angel's palm was a black feather.The down feathers are a bit hard, and the color is like a deep void.

Popota also came over at this time, and when he saw the feather on Angel's hand, he froze for a moment: "Where did you find this feather?"

Angel pointed to the dry branches.

Popota looked confused: "When I came just now, I observed carefully, and I didn't see any feathers."

"Are you sure?" Angel looked at Popota.

Popota said in a firm tone: "This tree is not tall. I checked it very carefully, and there is nothing there."

Popota wouldn't lie about this kind of thing, that is to say, this feather probably just appeared?
"When I walked over just now, the first thing I saw was this feather, it was very conspicuous." Angel looked at the feather in his hand, doubts flashed in his eyes: "Could it be that some kind of creature has been around, Didn't we find out?"

It seems that only this answer can explain the matter in front of me.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little silent.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from their ears:
"This is a gift from Kulangdo, please accept it, the savior of Yuantan Continent."
