Demon Sage

v3 Chapter 79: they are dormant

stench!

When the gravel was blasted open, revealing the hole below, Donald was about to take a few steps closer to check the situation, and immediately smelled an unbearably disgusting smell.

"This smell... it doesn't look like a good place here."

Using the wind element spell to blow away the stench in front of him, Donald retreated helplessly.

"It should be that after the flesh and blood rotted, it was blocked in a confined space for many years, which made this place...cough, no, I am a chef, I have to stand farther, if you still want to rely on me in the future. cooking."

Anthony retreated as he spoke. In his opinion, facing this kind of place was more challenging than the previous fight in the ghost tide.

"Liluo, I'm afraid you'll have to go down this time. We are nearby. If there is any danger, we will help you as soon as possible."

Lilo is an undead spirit. As long as she wants, she can seal off all kinds of human senses anytime, anywhere, because she doesn't need to breathe at all, and naturally she won't feel the odor.

In fact, without needing to say more from Donald, Lilo had already started walking towards the blasted hole over there.

And Donald wasn't idle either. He took out the wolfhound scroll and summoned a wolfhound to follow Lilo's back to serve as his own eyes. If something really happened in the cave, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

The inscription was activated, and Donald closed his eyes and leaned against the stone. Immediately before his eyes, there was a weed that kept going backwards and Lilo's "tall" back.

The wolfhound's body size is only one circle larger than that of an ordinary local dog, so the viewing angle is low, but it doesn't affect it much.

"The pothole is weird, I can tell it's not a basement or some sort of secret warehouse or something."

In order to allow others to have a general understanding of the situation, Donald worked as a part-time announcer and told the three people next to him by dictation of what he saw.

Through the wolfhound's field of vision, he was able to see the irregular shape at the edge of the hole. It wasn't that he blasted it. Although the blasting inscription was powerful, it wasn't big enough to blow the thick soil out of an inner cavity.

"There is a blockage at the entrance of the hole. I saw stone bricks and some sundries from inside. It should have been blocked by someone in an organized way. If there is no accident, it should be someone from the Emerald County Government. Strange shape, semi-circular arcs, large pieces..."

The entire entrance of the cave was not directly exposed because the external stones were blasted open. There were also various kinds of debris accumulated under the stones. Someone should have moved these things here to block them, but they were not blocked tightly. It can only be said that the vicinity of the hole is sealed so that it can be covered with some gravel blocks for cover.

Relying on Liluo's "violent demolition", she lifted a large number of stones directly from the cave and threw them outside, and soon a hole that was barely accessible for people to pass through was quickly cleared.

As the sun shone in, Donald soon discovered some special features of the inner stones. Unlike the previous upper stones, going down could see many broken stones with smooth arcs.

"Anthony, what you thought before was correct!"

Further down, Donald's face suddenly became serious, and he saw that there were stumps and broken arms among the gaps in these stones...

It wasn't a great experience, but definitely impressive enough.

Donald now regrets why he used the Wolfhound Inscription Scroll before.

The pile of rough and messy stones squeezed the flesh and blood, and Donald could even imagine what happened here at that time.

He wasn't sure if these "flesh fillers" and stones were thrown down this cave with any breath, but in any case, this kind of brutal desecration of the corpse was really not so easy for normal people to accept.

Perhaps because it has been buried underground, the flesh and blood of the corpse here has not completely melted away, and many bones are still stuck with brown and shriveled muscles, and even Donald can see a few skulls that still have flesh.

Even under the sunlight, they exude a gloomy and gloomy aura all the time.

"These should be the corpses of the people in the town. Using them as materials to fill this cave shows that the situation at that time was very urgent. What was it that made them panic so much that they even did such a thing by desecrating the corpses?"

As stated earlier, the placement of the dead is very important in most parts of the world, and desecration of dead bodies is a very serious crime in many religious areas.

Nearly speaking, the former Morning Light sect is a typical example of this.

For all the strange phenomena he had seen so far after entering the ruins, Donald didn't have much in his heart. His quick thinking made him vaguely feel like he had some clues. One has a headache in vain.

Liluo completely ignored these things. In her eyes, things like corpses were not too ordinary. She still cleaned the stones and walked down by herself, and her movements were getting faster and faster.

Donald didn't realize why the pothole appeared here until Lilo actually stepped on the ground or the water.

"well!"

Donald's voice rose suddenly.

Yes, he was sure that this place was originally a well, and the broken semi-circular arc stones he saw before were obviously the broken walls of the well, and the water gradually flowing from the accumulated gravel in front of him is the best proof. .

Although the flow is not large, Donald can also be sure that this place should be a cave with underground water channels.

"Wait, the well... Lilo told me before that as long as you don't drink the water in the ruins, you'll be fine, and there is no river around this town, and the water must be drawn from the underground river and the well here. In other words, the root of the problem is here... Yes, the problem lies in this well!"

Donald had just discovered the problem here, and he thought he could find more, but then he realized that he was thinking too much.

Controlling the wolfhound to sway around in a circle, except for the gravel, there is nothing else.

Lilo has begun to absorb the special energy she needs.

There is no specific location, as if these special energies already exist in this hole.

Unexpectedly.

When Donald saw those corpses and rubble, he was actually a little worried that there might be some kind of monster in the hole or something similar to the resentment aggregate he met in the wasteland before, and he was always ready to help in the past. I know it went so well.

In fact, Donald thought too much. Since the Emerald County Government dared to let this place idle and did not send people to guard it, it was naturally confident that nothing could happen here.

Or the existence of those ghosts, resentful spirits and resentment aggregates are their guardians.

But in any case ~lightnovelpub.net~ something extraordinary that once appeared in the ruins of the plague must have been resolved.

It's not a time of war and chaos. For more than ten years, if Emerald County feels that it can't control it, it can report it to the Ryan Empire. If it can't solve it on its own, can it be solved by the Imperial Government's Discord Bureau?

"We came too late. What happened in the past, and now it is impossible to go back and dig out the truth."

Looking at Lilo, who began to linger with gray air in his field of vision, Donald was naturally very happy with her recovery, but he was somewhat regretful about missing the truth behind the ruins of the plague.

Donald doesn't know what he's missing right now.

Some things disappear in the dust with the passage of time,

There are also some, even if they have been dormant for an unknown time, when the right time comes.

They will make a comeback!
