Chapter 1099: Traces of Canaan
The metal-cast eyes hovered over the sickle chain.
The rumbling sound in the surrounding furnaces never stopped, and the high temperature from the lava pool distorted the transmitted images.
In this distorted image, Angel seemed to see the same distorted expression of the owner of the sickle chain, its struggle, roar and despair.
No matter how it begged for mercy, cursed and cursed, the chain still devoured its life, and even no bone residue was left.
Such a chain made Angel feel very strange.
Is this really the chain he made?
After calming down a little and looking at the empty lava pool around him, Angel did not stay any longer, but controlled the exploration puppet to leave here.
As the exploration puppet left the lava pool, Angel also divided some of his thoughts and thought about the matter of Bopota.
He still remembered that the demon swallowed by the chain once asked a question: "Hua Que Que, why did you do this?"
Before, Angel vaguely felt that Hua Que Que sounded familiar, and when he thought of Bo Pota, a deep memory was opened.
Angel didn't have much contact with Bo Pota, and in the few times he had contact, Angel had a good impression of Bo Pota. This is a very talkative person. When Angel first contacted him, Bo Pota talked about many topics very familiarly. During the chat, Angel's vigilance against Bo Pota was also reduced a lot.
Speaking of which, the memory of "Hua Que Que" was what Bo Pota said during the chat.
The reason why Angel can remember these trivial memories is that as his strength improves, his memory ability is strengthened; secondly, Bo Pota's topic at the time was very interesting.
He started by making fun of his own name, which made Angel remember it vividly-
"People who hear my name for the first time will find it strange. In fact, this is the custom in our place. Our names must not be forgotten once people hear them, even if it means going against time." Standing deep in his memory, Bopota, who was glowing with a faint white light, said to Angel with a smile: "If someone forgets our names, it is the biggest insult to us. So in order to make others impressed by our names, the older generation began to deviate from the style."
"My current name is relatively normal. My sister's name is Qi Pa. Flower Bird is our national bird. My father simply named her Flower Bird Bird in order to make people remember my sister's name. Do you think it's funny?"
At that time, Bopota explained his name in this self-deprecating way. It goes without saying how important a name is to a person. This was the first time Angel heard Non-Slave make fun of his name in this way, which left a deep impression on him.
This is like painting a frame for the picture in memory. In the long cliff of time, Angel will forget many details and forget many people's names, but it is these words that make him hard to forget. Just as Bopota himself said: Even if we have to be enemies with time, even if we have to be laughed at, our names must not be forgotten after being heard.
Angel really didn't forget it, and therefore remembered the name of Hua Que Que.
Since Bopota once admitted that Hua Que Que is his sister. In association with various related clues before, whether it is the chain made by Angel himself, or his similar appearance to Bopota, the title of "suspected" can be completely removed, and the devil is Bopota!
"Before, Bopota seemed to have said some inexplicable words, such as being swallowed by the 'greedy old guy' and 'becoming the rekindled fire of my people'..."
What does this mean? And my people, isn't he a human? Bopota's bone card clearly recorded his human identity.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Bopota was full of strangeness. What he said, the simple effect of the chain, and the blood soul sacrifice... a series of things seemed to be connected by an unknown dark thread, but if you don't know the internal logic, it is still like being covered by a veil, blurry and hard to see or guess.
As for Huaqueque, in fact, Angel also had doubts that he had not solved.
When Angel heard the name Huaqueque before, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and when he recalled this inspiration now, Angel didn't think of any answer.
"In addition to being Bopota's sister, could it be that I have heard of the relevant name somewhere else?" Angel thought about it, and it seemed that there was no other information about Huaqueque in his memory. Where did the previous inspiration come from?
The clues of Huaqueque were broken, and no matter how much Angel thought about Bopota's matter, there was actually no answer. He decided to put it aside for the time being, and it would not be too late to ask when he had the opportunity to find Bopota or find other humans.
Maybe, Bopota was just a scout sent to the Demon City by the wizard organization. Of course, this possibility is very small. Even if they really want to send scouts to investigate, they can't let an apprentice go to such a high-risk place.
Since there is no factor to explore in the lava pool, Angell turned his attention to the "Rain Cloud Cage" he found before.
Previously, he arranged a reconnaissance puppet to explore inside, but once he entered, he lost contact.
Because Angel's attention was on the lava pool before, he didn't know what happened, so he prepared to explore the situation again.
He controlled the reconnaissance puppet near the lava pool and flew towards the area where the Rain Cloud Cage was.
Now that some time has passed, the Rain Cloud Cage is more majestic than before.
The dark low clouds in the sky and the smoke that keeps burning on the ground have completely merged into one, completely blocking the area. From a distance, nothing can be seen except the clouds and mist and the vague shadows of buildings.
As the exploration puppet approached, Angel clearly felt that the picture was blurred.
There were both clouds and mist covering it, and factors of interference by chaotic energy.
When the exploration puppet was about to go deep into the Rain Cloud Cage, the picture suddenly went black and the image transmission was interrupted.
This time, Angel finally understood why the exploration puppet had lost contact before. Although the picture was interrupted, before the interruption, Angel clearly heard the rumbling sound of fighting inside, and it was more shocking than what he heard before, as if the battle had entered a white-hot stage.
It was definitely a battle above the wizard level.
In this level of battle, the energy fluctuations can even penetrate the void. It is almost impossible to spy on the energy disorder area with low-level alchemical objects such as detection puppets. Unless Angel upgrades the materials and makes medium and high-level detection puppets. But now it is too late even if it is made now.
Unable to spy on the rain cloud cage, Angel is a little helpless. He can only transfer a detection puppet to wander around and wait for the battle to end before seeing the situation.
The detection puppets here have been hitting the wall continuously. Angel is a little disappointed. The detection puppet flying towards the central city brings a message.
Angel saw Canaan.
Before, when a large area of fire patterns appeared in the sky and countless flames began to get out of control, Canaan flew away from the store, saying that he went out to find out the situation. Later, flowing fire appeared, the sea of fire covered the psychedelic hut, and Fafnir opened the wind field... During this series of processes, Canaan did not come back.
Angell was a little worried before, but he didn't think much about it because Canaan was a half-blood demon of the water system, and it wouldn't lose control of its flames. In addition, it was very familiar with Rasuderan, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Angell even thought that it was better to separate like this. Anyway, his business in Rasuderan was over, and he was ready to return to the Ice Valley.
But he didn't expect that he would see Canaan again through the exploration puppet-
Canaan's current situation didn't look good. It was lying under an undulating cliff, covered by a stone beside it, and looked very hidden.
The reason why it was discovered was that a lot of smoke came out from where Canaan was, which attracted the attention of the exploration puppet.
When Angell controlled the exploration puppet to see Canaan's situation, he found that the smoke came from Canaan's blood, which was steamed by the scorched earth.
Yes, it was blood.
Canaan was bleeding a lot now, and it could even be said that it was almost soaked in blood.
There was a penetrating dark blood hole in its chest and abdomen. A large amount of blood flowed out of the blood hole. The only thing to be thankful for was that Canaan had not completely lost consciousness. A thin layer of water light was attached to the blood hole, which seemed to have a healing effect, but the healing effect was not ideal, and the blood was still flowing out.
Canaan's face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and he kept repeating a sentence.
Listening carefully through the exploration puppet, it was found that it was saying: "I can't sleep. If I sleep, I can't maintain the healing effect. I will die... I don't want to die, I can't sleep..."
Canaan's strong will to survive allowed it to maintain the water light on the wound. But the price of this is endless pain. Angel clearly saw that Canaan's forehead was full of sweat, and the blood vessels and tendons in his body were bulging and twitching constantly, which shows that this pain is continuous and intense.
If it were someone with a weak will, he would probably have given up early. After all, this is a wilderness, and now the devil has started a war with humans again. Who would care about the devil who survives in this corner?
Canaan can hold on until now because of his desire for life and the result of a game of will.
But will alone is useless. Canaan will eventually die in pain and despair unless someone can lend a hand to it.
And the only one who can save it now is probably Angel.
So, should we save it?
