Chapter 213: Corpse

"Dig it out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Pannis held the skull between himself and Catherine, blocking Catherine's strange gaze, and said innocently: "In the pit over there, there are other bones, do you want to see it, you want to see it for you." ”

"Hey, come back. Catherine said angrily: "You guy is deliberately making trouble again, in fact, I know what I'm asking, is there anything special about this skull, let you dig it out with so much effort." ”

"Well, it's nothing special, it's just that I see that Xiaolu has been very lonely lately, so I want to find her a friend, oops, don't pinch it. Pannis quickly avoided Catherine's fierce fingers, ran to the other side of the girls with his skull, covered himself with a skull, and said, "Don't stare at me, I said, in fact, this skull, no, I should say that this corpse is quite strange." ”

"Is it a complete corpse?" Catherine frowned, "something is strange, and you can't have seen a corpse before, how can you think that the corpse is strange in advance, otherwise you wouldn't have excavated it." ”

"Well, that's why I said weird. Pannis asked rhetorically, "Have you ever seen a corpse since you entered the area of the Forbidden Land?" from demonic beasts to small mosquitoes, any corpse, including bones, have you ever seen one along the way?"

"I ......" Catherine was stunned for a while, recalled carefully for a while, and shook her head a little confused: "It seems that I really haven't seen it, of course, it is not ruled out that I didn't pay attention to the small size, but it is indeed a little strange for you to say this." The lack of encounters with creatures can be explained by the fact that this is a forbidden place, but there are no corpses...... Isn't it true that there are often demonic beasts that strayed into this place and are turned into distorted souls by soul shocks?

"No, it's not that you missed it, it's that the Forbidden Land is basically free of corpses. Pannis put his skull on the ground aside, took off his thin gloves and shook his head while rinsing: "Anyone who enters the forbidden land of living beings, is attacked by the soul impact, and the soul is distorted, the powerful power of the soul distortion causes the body to be unable to preserve, and no matter how tough the body is, it will be shattered, of course, there is also a saying that the body will be distorted along with the soul, that is, the soul of the body." Of course, no matter what you say, there are basically no corpses in the Forbidden Ground. ”

"Wait, that's not right. Lina asked curiously: "There are jungles on both sides of the Forbidden Land, oh no, in addition to wandering the woodland, the Buried Bones and the Lake of the End are surrounded by jungles on all sides, right, if the demonic beasts in the forest chase the prey and come in, after eating the prey, ......"

"Then it's dead inside. Pannis shook his head and said: "Warcraft is different from intelligent creatures, intelligent creatures can support for several hours or even more than ten hours in the forbidden land, but if it is replaced by Warcraft, it can't be supported for a few minutes, this phenomenon may be related to the strength of the soul, the soul strength of the intelligent creature is much stronger than that of the Warcraft, even if it is an ordinary intelligent creature, as for this traffic...... Wow, bastard, you bite me. ”

"Idiot. Dilly let go of the teeth that were biting Pannis's calf, spat a few times as if he had bitten something dirty, wiped his mouth with the back of his paw like a human, and said in disgust: "Bastard Kyle, you don't feel bad if you don't get beaten for a day, don't you, damn it, I don't even bother to pay attention to you." ”

"If you're right, there's really no body here. Catherine ignored the aggrieved Pannis, stared at the skull on the ground and thought, "However, what if you enter the forbidden land of the living, but you don't have time to be twisted your soul, and you have already died for some reason? ”

"That's the only exception. Pannis no longer continued to pretend to be pitiful, and replied seriously: "Only this situation will lead to the appearance of bones in the forbidden land, I also carefully examined the corpse just now, his ribs are broken twice, broken bones

There are deep incisions on the surface, and the surface of the cavity inside the bone near the broken bone is purple. ”

"There were only two broken ribs, and there were incisions on the surface of the bones, which meant that it was not caused by a blunt impact, but something was inserted directly into the body, leaving a cut when it passed through the ribs, and at the same time, the ribs were also broken because of the excessive force. Catherine said thoughtfully, "As for the purple color of the bone marrow cavity...... I guess it's a toxin. ”

"Yes, only very strong toxins can cause discoloration of the inside of the bone marrow cavity. Lina also put on gloves, took the skull in her hand and observed it repeatedly, and even broke her jaw to closely observe the connection between its teeth and jaw, and nodded after looking at it for a while: "That's right, although I can't determine the ingredients, but it is certain that this is a very strong toxin, even if I want to use divine magic to get rid of this toxin, it will take a long time, and those clergy who do not have the assistance of the law book may have even more difficulty." Vivien, Freya, you mages know more about the types of toxins than we priests, can you tell what toxins are?"

"You don't have to bring it. Vivien shook her head and said, "The bone marrow cavity is already empty, which means that death has been a long time, and it is impossible to see anything." However, if it turns the surface of the medullary cavity purple, it should be a fast-acting toxin that has a short effect, such as many snake venoms. ”

"I also think it's a fast-acting toxin. Pannis confirmed Vivien's suspicion: "However, if this is the case, then the appearance of the bones in their current location involves another question, he should have died a long time ago, how could he be here?"

"If you have enough antidote drugs on your body, even fast-acting toxins can be suppressed for a while. Lina said: "Moreover, our priest's expulsion of toxins, even if the strength is insufficient to completely remove them, can delay the onset of toxins to a certain extent. ”

"If you were him, would you wander deep into the woodland with serious injuries and poison?" Pannis asked rhetorically, "Not to mention if you can go to such a deep position, will you go deep into the area covered by dense fog with multiple injuries?"

"Well, I definitely won't. Lina was stunned for a while, shook her head and said, "But what if he is chased in by the demonic beasts outside? That's not right, then I will resist the soul impact, sit down near the edge and rest for a while, and wait for the demonic beasts outside to leave before leaving." It's still not right, so it's impossible to die in this position, unless ......"

"Unless he has companions by his side. Catherine went on for her: "They had other tasks, or for some other reason, so they couldn't go back to treat him, so they took him with them, but I didn't expect him to die on the way." ”

"So you took him all the way here?" Pannis asked rhetorically, "Don't forget where this is, this is the forbidden land for living beings, the three most dangerous areas for living beings, they have been going deep into the forbidden land, and they have been going deep into the forbidden land in an organized and prepared way, and they also carry the wounded, which means that they have barely considered the impact of the soul impact on them." If you calculate the time of death by the degree of decay of the corpse, it has been about forty or fifty years since now, do you have any associations?"

"Wait, you mean ......" Catherine's eyes widened suddenly, and she said in disbelief, "This is ...... This is...... This is my grandfather and the former president of their expedition?"

"Anyway, apart from that expedition, I don't know of anyone else who has gone deep into the Forbidden Land in an organized way. Pannis shrugged and said, "I can't think of anyone else but them, and in terms of timing, it just coincides." ”

"But that's a coincidence. Catherine hesitated and said, "The Forest of Death is so big, and the core is so big, how can it happen to come across the traces they left behind?"

"It's no coincidence. Pannis shook his head and said, "Come to think of it, Vral also said that the route they chose was almost very close to ours, and didn't they guess before, it is likely that they agreed to the mission because the necromancers provided an effective way to travel through the forbidden realm, so it is not surprising that they chose to wander the woodland as the entry into Rodharunsel." So, if they really left something, it would not be strange for us to encounter it, on the contrary, it would be strange if we didn't encounter any traces, then our conjecture is likely to be wrong. ”

"Well, you do have a point. Catherine lowered her head and thought about it, nodded with a wry smile: "It's me who is too surprised, the wandering woodland is only a few kilometers wide, and we have chosen the position in the middle, if they have left traces, the possibility of being encountered by us is indeed very high." ”

"So eldest sister, do you think this corpse may be your grandfather's teammate?" Freya asked, "This is indeed the style of the elder, I heard my father say that the elder takes the task very seriously, if it were to be replaced by the eldest sister, I am afraid that I would rather give up the mission and take the injured teammate to find a place to treat first." ”

"It's not a question of whether you pay more attention to the task, there is no place in the forest for treatment, they have already arrived here, instead of spending more than ten days or even more to return the same way, it is better to continue to move forward and see if there will be other opportunities, even if it is me, I will continue to go deeper." Catherine shook her head and said, "And even now, I just admit that the probability is very high, and even if it is them, I can't be sure whether they entered or left, so the question you said can't be established at all." ”

"It's really Old Field's team, and they're on their way in. Pannis said, "I'm sure." ”

"Why?" Before Catherine could finish asking, she saw that Pannis had another small notebook in her hand, and couldn't help asking, "You also found it?"

"This was found with the body and is supposed to be a personal note kept close to the deceased. Pannis replied, "Luckily, it's a parchment notebook, it's not completely rotten, and some of it can still be seen." (To be continued.) )
