The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 542: The choice of 3 explorers

Sean didn't dare to use the oath torch under such a clear night sky for a while.

He could only do the same as his companions honestly, using a flashlight to light the way through Xuelin.

They stepped deep in the snow, trying to leave this ancient area, leave the dense forest, and return to the hitch field.

It's certainly been a long journey, however, they've reunited with Evan Burns.

So, for this part of the return journey, they have no complaints.

However, the state of Xiao En and his party was a little different. The enchanted Pansha returned with his teacher's body.

At this moment, a strange-looking pack beast summoned by Pan Sha was walking beside Pan Sha, carrying the body of the black book holder.

Saddened by the teacher's death and the shock caused by everything just now, Pan Sha changed from his previous activeness, and just walked with his head bowed without saying a word.

What Sean has been worried about, the person behind the scenes who planned all this and wanted to make up for Wendigo did not appear.

He was momentarily relieved. In order to be able to find out the truth of the year, and to make the return journey less depressing, he began to ask Ivan.

"What happened in this forest, and who did it?"

Evan Burns panted slightly: "I don't know who wants to make up the Wendigo, but I basically know the whole story...

"As you can see, if you hadn't stopped all this, I'm afraid I would have been killed by Wendigo now.

"If this is the case, then the legendary monster will break through its boundaries and walk freely in the world.

"According to its ability, it is at least a demigod-level existence..."

Ivan exhaled a breath of mist: "So, there is no doubt that the person who designed this scene is to create a god, to create a powerful demigod from a divine thing with many restrictions."

Moonlight recalled everything the old painter said, and the time and space in his heart were connected: "So, those explorers who created the Wendigo back then did this for the same purpose, creating a demigod?"

Possessed Panza and Evan Burns looked at the pianist in amazement at the same time.

The surprise of the former is easy to understand. He has never visited the old painter, and of course he does not know that it was witnessed by those three explorers who created the Wendigo.

But Ivan's surprise was different: "Have you investigated this far?"

He has lived near Rongyer all the year round, and he has heard of the tragic incidents that happened to the Northward Brigade since he was a child, but if he hadn't heard the black book holder speak out during his escape, he would not have known that the Wendigo The truth of birth.

Therefore, he was a little surprised that Sean and the others had gone so far.

Sean stepped in the mud: "Yes—we found the eyewitness by accident. However, we have no clue about this situation..."

"I don't have a clue." Ivan's soul was stained with some golden sparks, and that kind of warmth made him feel much more comfortable. "I was surprised for a long time when I heard the black book holder talk about it."

Seemingly unable to understand the ongoing conversation, Pan Sha, whose purple light in his eyes had weakened a lot, stared at Ivan quietly.

"After I learned the truth, I realized how much my grandfather and the other two explorers had to bear..."

Everyone kept quiet tacitly, listening to Ivan's story.

"Sixty-five years ago, a northbound brigade led by three explorers got caught in a snowstorm and got lost in this strange forest.

"They tried everything they could to get out of the woodland.

"In the depths of this forest, that is, within the border, there is a natural delusion, and it is difficult for outsiders to get out. Back then, they were like being swallowed into the belly of a boa constrictor, and will be slowly digested .”

Sean thinks so.

Possessed Panza was too wise not to rush into the border before.

If it wasn't for the absolute coordinates that were always in effect, it would be difficult for them to get out of here.

"In the end, they had no choice but to camp here and wait for rescue.

"The days of waiting passed day by day, and even though they were frugal again and again, the food they carried was exhausted.

"Winter has not passed. The Northward Brigade is in a serious predicament."

At this moment, they finally walked out of the border and came to a relatively "friendly" area.

Everyone immediately felt a little more relaxed.

"Someone fell from hunger and cold.

"The Quests who are the leaders of the group will face a dire situation: They will have to watch people starve to death.

"These people chose to believe them and put their lives on...

"If the Northern Expedition Brigade is destroyed, for the three explorers, it may be more uncomfortable than waiting to die."

While walking, Moonlight looked at the surrounding trees, as if seeing pairs of desperate and sad eyes.

"In order to allow more people to live, the three explorers decided to do something." Ivan took a deep breath, "In the end, they chose to use some kind of power that was already lingering in the forest, supplemented by Mysterious means to summon Wendigo..."

"Why did you do that?" Moonlight asked subconsciously before she could figure it out.

But when he asked this question, he suddenly understood.

The shock made him even stop for a moment.

The people of the Northward Brigade, when there was no food and their companions starved to death, they would rather starve to death than eat their own kind.

Faced with such a situation, the three explorers, in order to delay for some time until rescue came...

They summoned the Wendigo, who turned the members into beasts and forced them to eat human flesh.

They tried to extend the life of the entire team by means that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

In the end, after almost all the members committed taboos, they finally waited for the rescue brought by high-level explorers.

"The moment help arrives, the three Quests scatter the mutilated Wendigo.

"And swear to take this secret to the grave."

The few people shuttling in the forest fell into a deep silence.

They were shocked by this past event.

A team leader cannot accept a situation where people are ruined because of moral compliance.

They had to violate taboos, introduce seemingly evil forces, and let people break through the lower limit, in order to preserve the fire of life.

After the tragic Xuelin was rescued, it also opened up decades of discrimination, attacks and incomprehension.

The three explorers didn't say a word about this, and watched the establishment of Rongyer~lightnovelpub.net~the children who almost starved to death back then gradually grew up.

They saw the kid in hiding, and let the kid who grew up to be a painter see them as monsters.

For the survival of their lives, the three explorers endured a lot.

But they didn't say anything.

Bear everything in the dark, and use unimaginable means to continue the life walking in the light.

"Your grandpa and the others..." Moonlight's eyes flickered, and he looked at Ivan, who seemed a little tired because of the narration, "did what a leader should do. They also did what a mystery explorer should do."

Let go of the shackles of prejudice and morality, regardless of whether it is worthwhile, just to survive, to choose a path of life for everyone...

Sean fell into deep thought. If he was the explorer back then, would he be able to make such a choice?

After thinking for a long time, he didn't have an answer.
