Chapter 1208: Buried Bone Wilderness (Plus Change)
The Bone Wilderness, a wilderness that occupies about two-thirds of the continent of In'an.
If East Beacon City is a civilized zone, then the Bone Wilderness is a primitive zone.
Those who try to cross the wilderness of bones end up being part of the wilderness.

Qian Cang leaned his back against the wall, blood running down his arm, gathering on his fingertips and dripping to the ground.
The Miracle Ring on the index finger of the right hand glows pale green, repairing the wound on the shoulder.
He took a deep breath and smelled the strong smell of gunsmoke in the air.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from a corner not far away.
Even if the other person doesn't show up, he knows what he's going to see.
Qian Cang quickly got up and hid behind a rock.
He raised his pistol in his left hand, his lips pursed, ready to pull the trigger at any moment.
There are too many footsteps......
Qian Cang's eyebrows furrowed, and when the figure appeared in sight, he quickly pulled the trigger.
Table tennis!
The man who was shot fell to the ground.
The two men in the rear continued to rush out, shooting at Qian Cang's side at the same time.
Qian Cangyi hid behind the rocks and let the bullets fly overhead.
He took out a dagger from his side, wiped the blood from it with his sleeve, and placed it in front of his eyes.
Robert's face was reflected on the dagger.
No matter what kind of expression Qian Cangyi makes, the reflected face always keeps smiling.
Qian Cangyi reached out of the stone with his dagger and used the reflection to observe the enemy's tracks.
Enemy bullets hit the ground and catapulted into the distance.
Qian Cangyi sighed, intending to use the leader of the Time Tomb again, but at this time, two gunshots rang out in the distance.
After that, everything fell silent.
"Marshall!" Merman's voice came.
Qian Cangyi did not poke his head out, but again observed with the help of a dagger.
Around the corner not far away, three people walked out.
The clothes of these three people are different, but they all have one thing in common.
Their faces were all Robert's, and they were all smiles.
"Merman?" Qian Cangyi shouted.
"Marshall." Merman quickened his pace.
As soon as Qian Cang spoke up, he stopped:
"Don't come here yet."
"I look at everyone now with a face, whether it's you or those cultists."
"So...... For everyone's safety, try to stay away from me, Robert, and Rachel, we've all been tricked. ”
"The next time you see us, remember to identify yourself in advance, otherwise it may cause misunderstanding."
Merman stopped, completely incomprehensible.
Qian Cangyi continued:
"I'm not kidding."
"I've thought that before, but I don't want to shoot you in the head right now."
"Do it yourself, watch out for the traps in the village."
"Don't rush after it, steady progress is the best way for us."
Merman glanced at the officer next to him and replied:
"I see, be careful yourself."
After he said this, he walked the other way.
Qian Cangyi looked at the wound on his shoulder, which had begun to heal, and would almost recover in another ten minutes.
He glanced up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh that the Bone Wilderness was really another world.
It's now been a month since the destruction of East Beacon City.
That day, he traveled with Robert to the ruined East Beacon City in search of the names provided by Sander, but found nothing.
Later, Kan Cangyi approached Sander and George, hoping that the two would find the Rachel that Merman was talking about.
When they find Rachel, she is helping Dr. Tom at White Pigeon Hospital with the care of the injured.
Rachel has long fiery red hair, a fair face, a white coat over a pale gray shirt, and light blue slim trousers underneath.
In front of her were injured patients who needed urgent medical attention.
Just as she had bandaged the wounds of one of the wounded, several more rushed over.
"It's too busy here, come and help!" Rachel shouted into the distance.
"Rachel?" Qian Cangyi stepped forward.
"Looking for me?" Rachel didn't stop moving.
"I need to talk to you alone." Qian Cangyi said softly.
"Yes, but can you do me a favor first?" Rachel turned to look at Qian Cangichi, her bright brown eyes full of sincerity.
"What's the busy?" Qian Cang asked.
Rachel turned her head back and said:
"These injuries need to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise the wounds will deteriorate quickly."
"If you really have something important to do with me, it should be okay to help bandage it, right?"
Rachel bandages an injured patient and lets him sit aside to rest.
Qian Cangyi and Robert glanced at each other and reluctantly accepted.
After the setting sun sank to the ground, Rachel finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at the East Beacon City, which had already lit up with a faint light.
"There are many corpses in the city, and if they are not buried, I am afraid that it will cause a plague." Rachel's brown eyes sparkle with humanity.
It wasn't until dinner time that Kankuraichi finally found the time to talk to Rachel.
Qian Cangyi ate a little casually, and then said to Rachel:
"I'm investigating the disappearance of a child."
"Director Merman said you know about this, so I'm here to ask you."
Rachel put down the bread in her hand, looking a little unhappy, and she replied:
"Merman, ......"
"He's right, I do know that I've been approached for this before."
"The result...... You know, there was no result. ”
"Why do you want to know these things? If you're trying to save those children, I thank you for them, but I also advise you not to go too deep. ”
"Perhaps your fate will be the same as that of those corpses that sank into the Sea of Villefort, no one knows."
Qian Cang nodded and continued:
"I'm investigating a cult whose followers call themselves Sagula, and they believe in an evil god named Hezerak."
"I was dealing with them in the first few months and something happened in the interim," he says.
"I need to find them at the moment, but because the East Beacon City has been destroyed, the relevant clues have been broken, so I want to start from this aspect."
"As far as I know, the cultists need a large number of children, and many of the children transported to Inn'an are transported to the depths of the bone-buried wilderness through a route, and perhaps I can find the location of the cult's headquarters based on this clue."
Rachel heard this, nodded thoughtfully, and asked:
"Do you still eat it?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the untouched loaves of bread on a plate in the money warehouse.
"If you don't eat it, will you? I'm starving. ”
"You can eat." Qian Cang gave Rachel all the bread.
"I have one more point here." Robert also took out the rest of his bread.
"Thank you, thank you!" Rachel nodded repeatedly, saying as she ate.
After dinner, Rachel hiccuped, and then she turned her head to look at Qian Cangyi, and her expression became serious:
"I do know of a route to the depths of the Boneless Wilderness, but I haven't explored it, which is probably why I can still breathe now."
"Sagura, I also know that it is said that deep in the Bone Wilderness lies their village, a world of seclusion."
"You go there to investigate like a mouse running into a cat's nest."
Qian Cang turned his head to look at the ruins of East Beacon City, and then said to Rachel:
"I'd like to ask you to lead the way."
"In addition, the destruction of East Beacon City is also inseparable from them, and it can even be considered that they planned it."
"What did you say!" Rachel's brow furrowed, and she stood up.
Qian Cangyi looked at Rachel's brown eyes and said in a serious tone:
"The reason for the destruction of East Beacon City yesterday is precisely the plan of the cult."
"Do you think last night's strange scene was a natural disaster?"
"There are a lot of secrets hidden here, and we have to find them as soon as possible, maybe they are now planning a new plan."
"Take us, Rachel, for your own sake and the citizens of East Beacon City."
"If it is not destroyed at the source, in a few decades, maybe what happened today will be repeated."
Rachel heard these words and fell into deep thought.
It was about half a minute before she spoke:
"I need to think about it and I'll get back to you tomorrow."
"I'll be here tomorrow too."
Qian Cang nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll come back to you tomorrow."
At night, the stars shine, and Qian Cangyi and Robert find a place to rest.
Fortunately, the weather was sunny and there was no rain on these two days, otherwise the situation would have been worse.
At about four o'clock in the middle of the night, Qian Cang opened his eyes, and he found that Robert had disappeared.
He sat up and looked around, but there was no sign of Robert.
"What's going on?" Qian Cangyi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
At this time, there was a slight noise not far away.
Qian Cangyi followed the sound.
The bright moonlight illuminated the way forward, and as the distance approached, Qian Cangyi reached a dark corner.
The strange noise came from within.
Qian Cang thought about it for a while, turned on the helmet lamp, and in an instant, a bright light shot from the center of his forehead illuminated the corner.
Robert curled up in the corner, his hands clasped around his legs, his head buried in his knees.
Qian Cangyi walked over slowly, and at the same time shouted softly:
"Robert?"
"Are you alright?"
Suddenly, Robert lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot and the corners of his mouth trembled.
Qian Cang stopped.
Robert raised his head to look at Qian Cangyi at this time, but the focus of his eyes did not fall on Qian Cangyi, but on the distance.
"I see them ......"
"No matter what we do, we can't stop it."
"Those terrifying beings existed long before the birth of mankind."
"Meaningless."
"Meaningless ......"
Qian Cangyi stretched out his right hand and comforted:
"Robert, be sober, those are hallucinations."
"Do you remember the hallucinations you saw in Sander's collection room? It's all the same. ”
"It's the way those monsters attack, and they want to destroy our sanity."
Robert froze, then his hands began to pull at his hair.
Qian Cang rushed to stop him, but Robert was still in a state of panic, exactly like Father Hall at that time, and in desperation, Qian Cang knocked him unconscious.
