Survival game, I have a card draw system

Chapter 83 Not Found
On the road that followed, Roland and his party encountered many monster attacks one after another.

But none of these monsters were particularly powerful, so it was safe to say that there was no danger.

All this seemed to be going smoothly, and they gradually came to the location marked on the map.

But at this moment, Captain Galen frowned, looking at the map while sizing up the surrounding situation.

This map is a copy, and there are many copies in the headquarters of the Knights.

Although it is a copied map, there should be nothing wrong with the above content.

But... why?

Roland noticed Captain Galen's abnormal expression and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find any problems?"

"According to the marks on the map, there should be a small hillside near here, there should be a small forest over there, and there should be a lake here, but we have never seen it along the way." Captain Galen replied.

And his answer made Roland realize that the problem was a bit serious.

"Could it be that your map is fake?"

"Impossible! Maps have been handed down since a long time ago, and after the fog fell, we also investigated the surrounding situation of Demon City, which is the same as the information on the map.

Although I haven't been to farther places to check, it should be no problem.

In addition, the distance we have just traveled is consistent with the map for at least four kilometers, and I have been paying attention to this.

And after four kilometers, it is a flat land until here, without encountering the few iconic places on the map. "Speaking of this, Captain Galen frowned even deeper.

If they encounter a monster, they can completely solve it with strength; but now this kind of weird situation cannot be dealt with by pure strength.

Roland suggested: "Let's move on first, and when we get to the location of the lofty statue, if we haven't seen the statue and those iconic places, then we have to consider retreating."

"It can only be done first."

Then, the team moved on.

As they gradually approached the place where the sublime statue should be, they gradually encountered some unexpected situations.

There was no monster attack, but some bones and corpses were seen on the road.

Some sharp-eyed members of the Knights immediately noticed the corpse buried in the ground by the roadside, and the clothes and armor on the exposed part of the body looked familiar, "Isn't that the standard armor of our Knights?"

Soon, as if the infection was spreading, they discovered more and more corpses of the Knights and the traces left behind.

"Are these the corpses of the knights who came here before?"

"What did they encounter here? Why did they all die in this place?"

"Some corpses have turned into bones, but some have not completely decomposed."

"The last action of the Knights should have been 20 years ago."

……

This discovery made the people of the Knights a little uneasy.

If they were killed because they encountered an invincible enemy, they all had the courage to face that ending.

But the situation in front of him seemed a little weird.

This is a heartfelt fear of the unknown.

Although a little scared in their hearts, they still must muster up the courage to move forward.

Captain Galen noticed the uneasiness of the knights, so he said solemnly: "This is the trace left by the pioneers. They died on the road of exploration and pursuit. How can we retreat here?"

Encouraged by Captain Galen, the knights cheered up.

They no longer worry about the death of their former compatriots.

In the process of moving on, they will rebury the scattered corpses on the ground by the way.

The land was fairly soft, and the process of covering up the corpse was relatively smooth.

In this way, they finally came to the location of the sublime statue marked on the map.

After repeated confirmations, Captain Galen determined that this place should be the place on the map.

But how can there be any noble statues here.

There is still a clear plain in front of me.

Although the surrounding fog seemed thinner than other places, it still prevented them from seeing the distant scene clearly.

How to activate and light up if no sublime statue is found?

"Let's go back and try to find the noble statues in other directions?" Roland suggested.

As an outsider, traveler, at this time, only he is suitable to make this kind of "retreat" suggestion.

Captain Galen hesitated again and again.

He is well aware of the danger in the mist, and it is not a good thing to stay here all the time.

However, since becoming the head of the regiment, this expedition can be said to be the meaning and goal of his life.

He knows that a temporary retreat is not about retreating and failing.

But my heart still couldn't accept it.

The members of the Knights didn't speak at this moment, they silently looked at the leader, waiting for his decision.

In the end, Captain Galen sighed helplessly, "That's it, let's go back to Demon City first, investigate the problem with the map, and then choose the noble statue in another direction."

After receiving the order from the leader, the members of the Knights seemed relieved.

If it is a battle with monsters, they are very brave;
But the current situation is not like this. If they can't rely on the map to find the lofty statue, are they going to search aimlessly in this area like headless chickens?
The final result was even predictable.

Now that Captain Galen decided to return, they turned around and walked along the way they came, guided by the compass and the map.

Everyone's heart is a little heavy.

This expedition appears to have failed.

When they went back, they could only tell the truth about what happened to them when they were questioned by the people in the city and the companions of the knight order.

I hope that no one will "accuse" them of "incompetence" and "weakness".

……

"Why is that?"

The situation in front of them stunned the people in the team.

On the flat ground, the corpses of those knights were still scattered all over the place.

If you take a closer look, you can find that none of these corpses should have been eaten by monsters or wild beasts, and they all look intact.

But the problem is not here.

They clearly remembered that they had buried the corpses of these knights before, why did they see these corpses on the ground now?

This discovery made them think of a very bad situation.

They got lost.

Or... this place has some kind of weird ability, which has affected their cognition.

Regardless of the possibility, it means that they are now in a dangerous situation.

The corpses of these former knights on the ground seem to herald their results.

If they can't leave this place, they will also become one of these corpses, accompanying the former knights in this form and in this place for a long time.
