Ingres still remembers that although the cold ancient ruins in the outside world are called "ruins", according to Madeleine, there are no traces of construction in that area, and even some people dug three feet into the ground and did not find the so-called ruins.

At the beginning, Angel was also wondering, since it is called the ancient ruins, why are there no traces of the ruins? Could it have been completely eroded by the power of time?

Now it seems that the corpses of Ancient West Asia that appeared here, and the large number of aboriginal cities they saw along the way, were exactly what Grivu said.

Here, perhaps, is the cold ancient ruins that have been sealed for tens of thousands of years!

And the so-called "cold ancient ruins" in the outside world are just a platform leading here. The real ruins are in this sealed continent!

......

The location was roughly confirmed, but the question of how to leave was again.

Ingres looked at Grivu, if the cold ruins of the outside world were just a platform leading here, then there must be a passage.

Grewood shook his head: "I never thought that I would end up at the Cold Ancient Ruins, nor did I inquire about the exit here, but in ancient times, if the aborigines could leave here, there must be a way." ”

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

At a loss, he could only turn his gaze back to Gucia's corpse, hoping to get some clues from him. After all, Gusia came in from the outside.

Popota began to examine the corpse of Gucia.

"There is nothing missing, the disposable space soft bag is still there, there are some net worth in it, and there are a lot of potions to recover the injury, it seems that Gu Xia came to the abyss to make all preparations, but unfortunately something happened in the middle of the road." Bobota sighed, continued to probe out the energy and began to examine the internal situation of the corpse: "From the degree of consumption of residual energy, as well as 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 resist the destruction of the body...... Hey, there's a wound in the skull, it doesn't look like it's caused by energy, it's a bit like it was pecked out by some kind of creature. ”

Bobota looked back at Angels, "Before Gucia disappeared, there shouldn't have been these injuries, right?"

Angel nodded.

Bobota stood up, "Except for the wound in the skull, nothing else has been found, and this should be a fatal wound." ”

The expressions of the two slowly became heavy, not a fatal wound inflicted in the outside world, which meant that there was some unknown creature here that killed Gusia.

Unknown creatures make them worried. However, there are other clues given on Gusia's body, and from the time of Gusia's death, it can be roughly inferred that he died not long after entering here.

In other words, the entrance to the Cold Ancient Ruins from the outside may be near this area.

Bobota: "You said earlier that Gucia had hysteria, auditory hallucinations, and felt like someone was calling him, and then he disappeared. Could this person who called him be the one who killed him?"

"It's hard to say. ”

Bobota mentions hysteria, and Angel recalls one more thing—

"After the disappearance of Ancient West Asia, Brufen once talked to me about the cold ancient ruins, and he said that in the past few hundred years, at least thousands of people have disappeared in the cold ancient ruins. The frequency is not high, but the cumulative number is large. ”

"Later, the Frost Moon Alliance did research and came up with a similarity: all the people who disappeared in the ancient ruins of Han had a hysterical hallucination before disappearing, and in addition to feeling that someone was calling in their ears, they could also see a human figure. Ingres recalls what Bruffin said: "It was finally confirmed that the figure was a man wearing a black crow cloak, which is recorded in some documents as a death guide from the bottomless abyss—"

"Kulangdo!"

When Angels said the name, Grewood immediately followed.

"You know that, too?"

Griwu nodded, "Kurando is the god of death, a subordinate of an ancient man who has mastered the rules of death. ”

"What is this?"

"Beings who have been alive since before Ragnarok are called the Ancients. Among them are demon gods, demons, and even aborigines, and Kulando himself seems to be an ancient one. ”

Because of the limitations of his vision, Grewood doesn't know much, the only thing he knows is that Ku Lang Duo is a person who specializes in guiding the souls of the dead, and is known as the death guide in the mouth of the aborigines, and in the eyes of the demons, he is a god of death.

"Since he is the guide of death, could it be that the one who killed Gucia was this Kurando?" asked Bobota.

Grewood glanced at Bobota, not wanting to answer, but the shopkeeper was beside him, and he still shook his head angrily, "I don't know, the deeds of Ku Langduo are very far away from my life. ”

For a while, it seemed that the clue was broken again. In other words, the threads are too redundant to be connected.

"Regardless of whether or not Gusya, who was killed by Kurando, finding a way out now is the most important thing. Angel: "Let's continue here to see if there are any clues." If not, let's go to the other side of the wasteland, I feel ...... It's not far from the place that called me. Perhaps, there will be an answer there. ”

There are still many corpses in this town, but they have found no other useful clues. There are occasional human corpses, and they are mostly apprentices.

In the end, nothing was found.

"Since there are no clues, let's move on. This time, they didn't ride the gondola, because Angel had sensed that it was very close to the land of calling.

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

......

There was a deep footprint on the ground, and the rain fell, and soon a puddle of water accumulated at the footprint.

Such a puddle of water footprints has continued into the depths of the wasteland.

Ingres, who did not have enough control over his strength, accidentally stepped out of another hole. Grewood and Bobota, who were next to them, continued on as if they hadn't seen them.

This eased Ingres' embarrassment a little.

"Shopkeeper, can you sense who is calling you now?" asked Grywood suddenly.

Angel shook his head, he just felt that he was getting closer and closer to the land of calling, but he still couldn't perceive who was calling him, was it a certain life calling, or was he guided by the continent's pan-consciousness?

and on several miles.

The further he went, the more Ingres felt a sense of intimacy.

At the beginning, Gucia also disappeared because he felt that someone was calling him. Before, Angel still felt that the situation of Gucia was very similar to himself.

But now that I think about it, there is still a difference between them.

When Gusia heard that he was called, he was hysterically repulsed, in contrast to his own situation.

That being said, Ingres is still wary. After all, to confuse people's five senses and cognition, Ingres himself will also. Maybe this sense of intimacy is a deliberately created illusion.

"Looks like there's a dark shadow up ahead?" Popota pointed ahead.

Ingres raised his head and looked into the distance, and the front was still hidden by the rain and fog, but among the shadows, there was indeed a black shadow that was not very tall, but looked very tall, standing still in the distance.

It's a wasteland, and you haven't even seen a single slightly larger stone along the way. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared, quite abruptly.

The shadows remained motionless, and they approached cautiously and cautiously.

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

Lonely stands in the wilderness, lonely bathed in the rain.

"I thought there would be no plants on this continent, but I didn't expect to see a tree. Although it is withered, it at least indicates that there was once vegetation cover. Bobota sighed as he walked in the direction of the tree.

Angel was about to follow, but was stopped by Grewood.

At this time, Bobota had already come to the vicinity of the tree, and after a few circles around the tree, he realized that Angels and the others had not followed.

He walked over again, and when Bobota stood in front of Grewood, Grewood's eyes flashed with doubt, and he muttered in a low voice, "No, I feel that something is wrong with that tree, it seems to have a dangerous aura left, how can you ...... "You'll be okay?"

It was only then that Angel understood why Grewood had stopped him, presumably because he felt that there was danger ahead, and that Bobota was using it as a pathfinder.

Bobota also ignored Grevu, they weren't a race in their own right, and they didn't deal with each other.

Angel shook his head and walked in the direction of the tree. Now that Angel had stepped forward, Grewood naturally followed.

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

It leaned forward curiously, "What is this...... Feathers?"

At this time, it was a black feather that was placed in the palm of Ingres's hand. The down feathers are a little hard, and the color is like a deep void.

Bobota also walked over at this time, and when he saw the feather on Ingres's hand, he was stunned for a moment: "Where did you find this feather?"

Angel pointed to the dry branches.

Bobota looked confused: "When I came just now, I looked carefully, but I didn't see any feathers." ”

"Are you sure?" said Angle, looking at Boporta.

Bobota said in a firm tone: "This tree is not tall either, I have looked at it carefully, and there is nothing. ”

Bobota wouldn't lie about this kind of thing, that is, there is a good chance that this feather just appeared?

"When I walked over just now, the first thing I saw was this feather, which was very conspicuous. Ingres looked at the feathers on his hands, and doubts flashed in his eyes: "Could it be that there is some kind of creature that has been nearby all along, and we haven't found it?"

It seems that only this answer can explain what is in front of you.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little silent.

At this moment, a sudden sound sounded in their ears:

"This is a gift from Ku Langduo, please accept it, savior of the Yuan Tan Continent. ”
