[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

【Imeki Mountain - Flame Lizard Habitat - Water Pool】

Trista came to the pool again.She always had a strong intuition that this suspicious small pool would point to Lorca's final destination.

Cuista came prepared this time, and she sprinkled a large amount of prepared medicine into the water pool to decompose the remaining medicament components in the water pool.While waiting anxiously for the potion to disintegrate, she couldn't help but think of Elder Abelson's words: "The Milo Cultists will sacrifice a lot of blood to the devil. Back then, the 'Eye of the Devil' French especially liked to ingest the pure blood of Alan." The blood of the Ti people"

"It also requires a spiritually powerful magician to sacrifice his soul to enhance his mana."

Knowing at that meeting that the victims of Milo Cultists would be "purified" by the Council of Elders, Trista suppressed her horror and dared not tell anyone about the progress of her investigation. Meaning tied to Mason's disappearance.

Custa became more and more anxious, and couldn't wait for the potion to completely decompose before jumping into the pool.

The dark leather armor made by the violent demon can be activated by mana to form a close-fitting enchantment underwater, allowing freedom of movement.The long whip made from the saber-toothed thunder eel was gathered into a short stick in her hand.She searched carefully under the water.There is really nothing to see in this small pool.It is clear at a glance.The diameter is only two or three steps wide.The walls are rough and irregular rock walls.It wasn't too deep either, Custa raised her head and could see the sky outside through the turbid water waves.

Was it the same scene that Lorca saw at the bottom of the water?

Loka was also injured, what would he do when he was trapped underwater?

Cuista probed and tapped the rock wall with a short stick made of a long whip.Still nothing.

The Aranti people of the Mirror Lake tribe are good at water magic, especially women.Custa meditated in the water.The spiritual power dissolves into the water of the entire pool.She sensed everything in the water, and the pool water also turned into an extension of her perception, rippling against the surrounding rock walls.At this time, she noticed that there were very thin streams of water seeping into the cracks in the rock wall.She observed carefully and found that these gaps are regular, and they are connected close to the shape of a rectangle.Like a door.Just enough for a person to bend over and pass.

Cuista was refreshed, and used her mana to drive the water waves to hit the area.But there was no movement.But feel more water seeping into the gap.Her perception extends along the water flow, and she can trace the overall shape of a rock wall.It turned out that there was a passage behind it!

Cuista then urged the water waves to impact against the pool from the passage behind the rock wall, increasing the surge of mana.

With a "crash", a square rock fell from the stone wall.A channel was suddenly revealed.

The entrance to this passage is on the stone wall near the bottom.If Loka was at the bottom of the pool at that time, he could just bend down and walk in.

There was darkness in the passage.Cuista urges a large mirror lake pearl to hang in front of it for illumination.As she walked in the passage, she carefully searched for all possible traces, and she felt that the slope of the passage was slowly rising.Coming to this passage from the pool gave her the feeling of entering the spout from the body of a huge jug.As the slope rises, the water level gets lower and lower.Trista quickly stepped onto the drier ground.

She found some dark marks on the side wall, and reached out to touch these marks, which looked like scratches. After investigating, she found that it was blood!After walking a few steps, some blood-stained scratches appeared intermittently.

Judging from these scratches, Loka may have been staggering when he came here, and could only move forward by leaning on the rock wall.He didn't even have one wound on his body.

Custa felt a sharp pain in her heart when she thought of this, and her breathing froze.She concentrated on examining the surroundings carefully, but suddenly her foot stepped on the ground, and the road was suddenly cut off.Custa screamed, lost her balance and fell down.

Fortunately, the height of the fall was not high, and Cuista was protected by the dark leather armor and was not injured.The smell of rancid blood is everywhere.Let Cuista retch instantly.It took a while for her to recover, she stood up, activated the barrier of the dark leather armor to slightly isolate some of the foul and rancid air, activated the three Mirror Lake pearls to hang in the air, instantly dispelled the darkness, and this space was completely illuminated. bright as day.

Lying in front of him was a giant scorpion that had been split in half, surrounded by large chunks of coagulated black blood.That neat incision may have come from "Morning Dew."There are some sporadic cut marks on the surrounding rocks, which are likely to be traces caused by the wind blade of "Morning Dew".

Cuista resisted the discomfort and carefully inspected the remains of the giant scorpion and the surrounding environment.There are signs of struggle everywhere.It is very easy to deal with this giant scorpion with Luoka's usual skills and the "Morning Dew" in his hand.She once heard the team members led by Luoka talk about the experience of entering the cave to explore. His Royal Highness Luoka's athleticism and decision-making in the face of danger made the team members admire them all.

And everything on the scene showed that Lorca had fallen into a difficult battle.

Cuista suddenly noticed something shining in the dark brown bloodstain on the ground.As soon as she raised her hand to shoot it in the air, she couldn't help crying when she saw the thing clearly.

This is a broken crystal.But Trista still recognized that it was the amulet pendant she gave Lorca.Use mirror dream crystal to refine into water waves.At that time, Loka needed to enter a swamp in the Doro Valley to perform a task.The giant crocodiles in this swamp unleash a maddening miasma.Wear it next to your body to purify the invasion of miasma to the soul and keep people clear.

Maybe Lorca relied on it to get here, but it was broken in the fierce battle.

Custa looked at the obvious blood-stained footprints, and mustered up the courage to go on. Along the way, she became more and more afraid that the answer she was least willing to face would appear in front of her eyes in the next moment.

As she walked, she suddenly found that the surrounding landforms were very similar to the karst caves at the northern foot of Yimeijiluo Mountain. There were strange rocks of various shapes everywhere, and the forked roads criss-crossed.

Perhaps Loka was stained with the blood of a lot of giant scorpions at that time, and the traces were more obvious than in the passage. Custa followed these traces and soon came to a more open cave.

The traces on the ground extended to the edge of a protruding rock, where there were many bloodstains and scratches.Judging from these traces, Lorca is likely to sit here in the end.The clue seems to be broken again here.

Reluctantly, Cuista urged more mirror lake pearls to illuminate all parts of the place. She found several scratches on the right side of the protruding rock that resembled the remaining edge of a wind blade.The shape was very similar to the ones found before, but the traces were very shallow, so shallow that she couldn't even be sure if a battle really took place here.If it was indeed from "Morning Dew", its power would have been greatly reduced.

She sat down where Lorka might have stayed, and speculated about Lorka's behavior in her mind. Lorka was sitting here at the time, holding Morning Dew in his right hand, and the imprint of the wind blade on the angled stone wall was consistent.Why would he attack?Are there any enemies here?Thinking of this, she began to carefully search every trace, every corner, even the cracks between the rocks, hoping to find some clues.

Finally living up to her expectations, she found some fragments in the shadow of the rock, a broken magic crystal, and half of the bracelet, which was exquisitely crafted, and found the other half in a gap.The magic crystal should have been inlaid on the bracelet.There were also fragments of fabric that were not the color of the clothes Lorca was wearing.

Who do these belong to?

At this time, footsteps were heard in the silent cave.Custa immediately turned off all light sources vigilantly.The cave was instantly dark.
