Chapter 597: Return to the Old Place
When I return to Vupalaguan again, it is already the coldest season of the year, after the severe cold, the earth will gradually recover, and spring will slowly return again.
A few people waited for several days at Vupalaguan before Wicks arrived here from the Karaka Fortress without stopping. Hig and Lufasi made careful preparations for this adventure, all of them were fully armed, for the safety of Mizt, Hig lent Noah's dragon king armor suit to him to wear, the prophetic sword to Lan Xian'er, the Titan Greatsword to Lufasi, and the Divine Walking Boots to Weeks, since the fusion of Higg and Blue Fairy's blood, has recognized the master, this pair of boots that can enhance the lethality of magic, only Blue Fairy and Higg can use it, and Blue Fairy itself can't magic, and only Higg himself uses it.
Thunder hovered above the sky, keeping an eye on everything on the ground, looking for signs of the natives. The aboriginal camp is a three-day trip from Vupalaguan, such a distance, anyone who has only walked once, it is easy to get lost, to find the original place, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, go to the wrong col, recognize any river, it is possible to get farther and farther away from the goal, not to mention, did not think of returning to this unsettling inaccessible place at the beginning, so, Wicks and Mizter, did not remember some important landmarks along the way too deliberately, and after more than half a year, I can only move forward with a vague impression.
If there was no thunder in the air to guide them, I believe that in the past seven days, they must have been like ghosts hitting a wall, repeatedly spinning in place, such things were commonplace when the advance party passed through the Karaka Mountains. Higg, Blue Fairy, and Lufasi didn't rush too much, but instead regarded the only trip as a new exploration, and since Mizter and Wicks were able to stumble into the great mausoleum by chance, they would definitely find that place again if they relied on Ray as a guide to search the carpet.
There are four seasons in a mountain, and ten miles of different days! The climate in the mountains is always changeable, when you are on the mountainside, there is ice and snow everywhere, but in the cols, it is much warmer, and even some valleys with hot springs, surrounded by mist, there are spring-like scenery, but everyone has no heart to enjoy these scenery.
"There is a situation!" Higg was alerted to the fact that something in the valley seemed to be alarmed, and immediately called for vigilance.
Usually this is the case when a large beast comes out to forage for food or find a sunny place to bask in the sun in the winter and is alarmed, but Higg faintly feels that it is not a beast but a human at one time.
Blue Fairy, Lufasi, and Mizt slid slowly, while Higg and Weeks scribbled left and right at their target.
Approaching the target, Higg really saw a person lying next to the stream, dying, seeing Higg approaching, it seemed to be alert and wanted to get up and run away, but because he was covered in injuries and had no strength, he couldn't stand up at all, only staring at Higg who was slowly approaching him, with a frightened and desperate expression on his face.
"Diego!" Wicks came from his right loaf of bread, and when he saw the man lying down by the stream, he immediately screamed.
"What, acquaintance?" Higg asked, surprised.
"He was the guide who took us out of the mountains!" Wicks hurriedly said, "Save people first, you come!" ”
Diego, who saw Wicks, looked even more frightened, and with the last of his strength as if he had seen a ghost, he buried his head in the arms of Higg, a stranger he didn't know at all.
Higg pressed one palm on Diego's back, injecting a stream of heat into his body, and the other hand quickly probed the whole body with water therapy, fortunately there were some external injuries, no major problems, mainly caused by hunger and cold caused by extreme weakness, as long as a little recuperation, he could recover quickly.
Lan Xian'er, Lufasi, and Mizt also gathered together, and when Mizt saw Diego's appearance, he was also so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and then looked around, and shouted, "Something's wrong!" ”
"What's wrong?" Lufasi asked alarmedly.
"What's going on?" Wicks also asked busily.
Mizter said: "Wicks, do you remember, when Diego left the Wupara Pass, he wore such clothes, but now he is still wearing the same single clothes, or I gave him, on such a cold day, do you think it is normal to wear summer clothes?" ”
Wicks was surprised to find that the ragged Diego was indeed wearing only a robe, these indigenous mausoleum keepers, usually wear animal skins and furs, rarely such a costume, and then looked around carefully, and said in surprise: "Isn't this stream the one that flows through Diego's village, along this stream, you can not only find the village, but also find the big mausoleum!" ”
At this time, Higg had slowly stood up, Diego had fallen completely asleep, sleeping peacefully, people couldn't bear to disturb him, Higg took off his coat and covered Diego gently, Lan Xian'er stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" ”
Higg said lightly: "It's not a big deal, it's caused by excessive hunger and cold, excessive fright, and weak body!" ”
"Excessive hunger and cold? Frightened too much? Wicks was even more incomprehensible, "They are hunting for a living in this jungle, how could they end up like this with Diego's ability?" ”
"So, something happened!" "And it's a big deal!" ”
"How do I get there now?" Lufasi immediately asked.
"Going up this stream is the village of Diego, and downstream, in the direction of the mausoleum!" "Where are we going first?" ”
"Coo-coo-coo-coo......" There was a thunderous roar in mid-air, as if something had been discovered.
"It's upstream!" Lan Xian'er said.
"Full vigilance, let's go!" As he spoke, Higg lifted Diego, who was completely asleep, and placed it on his back, then leaped to his feet and strode towards the upper reaches of the stream, several of whom immediately followed.
Originally, at noon, although the winter sun was not strong, it could still penetrate the gaps in the leaves and sprinkle sparsely on the woodland, but the further I went, the dimmer the sunlight became, and finally disappeared completely, and even the whole sky became gray, and people's moods became nervous with the change of such weather. Everyone knows very well in their hearts that this is not a natural change in the weather in the mountains, there must be some kind of danger warning, which makes everyone more vigilant, and the danger ahead is self-evident, and everyone knows it.
"No...... Don't go for ...... I don't want to go back......" Diego on Higg's back suddenly woke up, screaming in horror and struggling hard, he was already weak and powerless, but he almost broke free from Higg's grasp.
"Diego, what's wrong?" Wicks hurriedly asked Diego.
"It's you...... It's you, the devil...... I'm going to kill you......" Diego looked even more irritable when he saw Wicks, and with all his strength, he struggled to raise his arm and hit Wicks.
"It's me, you're mistaken!" Lan Xian'er stopped between Diego and Wicks, and said slowly to Diego with a smile, "What you see is all fake, whether it was before or now, what you see is fake, you have to believe me, you just had a dream, everything is a dream, everything is an illusion, you wake up quickly, everything will be as good as ever!" ”
"Fake?" Diego raised his arm and finally didn't shoot it down, muttering, "Is it just a dream?" ”
"Yes, you look me in the eye and sleep a little more, and then you will forget your nightmares and forget everything!" Blue Fairy continued to speak leisurely.
Diego's eyes widened, staring at Lan Xian'er's watery eyes, but his eyes gradually eased, and the look of horror gradually faded, and then he slowly closed his eyes, and there was no movement anymore.
"What kind of hypnosis is this?" Lu Faxi had never seen Lan Xian'er show his abilities, and asked in surprise.
Lan Xian'er said: "This is not hypnosis, this is immortal art, which can make him feel at peace for a while!" ”
"Immortals?" Lu Faxi knew that Blue Fairy had many secrets that he couldn't understand, that was the secret of Flower Valley, he himself had witnessed the magic of Flower Valley, but he had never seen Blue Fairy himself really use any spells.
"Coo-coo-coo-coo......" There was a thunderous roar in mid-air, as if something had been discovered.
"There's danger ahead!" Lan Xian'er heard the message from Lei and immediately notified everyone to be vigilant.
The sky is getting grayer and darker, and people's mood is becoming more and more depressed, and the depression in the heart almost makes people feel nervous, more and more uneasy, and faintly feel that danger will immediately come to them at any time and place.
Finally, back to the canyon again, the stream just passed between the canyons, and the cliffs on both sides could still faintly see the wooden houses and caves scattered together, wooden ladders and stone steps connected these wooden houses and caves, and the whole canyon was like a powerful military fortress.
The villagers, or natives, in the village camp were still shuttling back and forth on the cliffs, each busy, completely unaware that an uninvited guest had approached their village.
"Patriarch Ross!" Seeing the senile Rose strolling slowly from afar, Mizt shouted excitedly, and was about to run forward, but he pulled him behind his back.
"This is the mausoleum keeper's camp?" Higg asked.
"Yes, finally found!" Wicks said happily, but he felt that something was wrong, what was wrong, he couldn't say for a while.
Higg asked, "Look at those people, slow in their movements, sluggish and mechanical, they only know how to walk, and they have no work in their hands and no communication with each other, is this the same in the original village?" ”
Mizter and Wicks only then noticed what Higg said, and it was true, everyone seemed to be completely unperceptive to the people around them, the surrounding environment, and they only knew that they kept walking, and their movements were very slow, especially going up and down the stairs and afraid of wooden ladders, which was completely like crawling and wriggling, which was not at all like the busy and lively scene of the village before, which surprised and puzzled Mizter and Wicks.
"Hey, hey, a village full of zombies!" Lu Fasi sneered, "This is the Witch Corpse King's masterpiece!" ”
Lufasi said it lightly, but it was not only Weeks and Mizter who were shocked, but also Blue Fairy and Higg.
"Mr. Lufasi, you mean that there are thousands of people in the village, all of them are zombies?" Mizt shouted and asked, "How is this possible?" ”
Having said that, even the unacceptable Mizter and Wicks, facing the reality in front of them, have actually admitted this extremely terrifying statement in their hearts.
"It's me, the people who hurt Diego, it's me, I have to dig that mausoleum, to provoke the witch corpse king, I can't escape the blame for my death...... Mizt was babbling gibberish, unsteady on his feet, and fell down at the end of the head, and Lufasi hurriedly held him up......
