Chapter 1218 Black Feather

Angel still remembered that although the Hangu ruins in the outside world were called "ruins", according to Madeline, there were no traces of any buildings in that area. Some people even dug three feet into the ground but could not find the so-called ruins. .

Angel was also wondering at the beginning, since it is called Hangu Ruins, why are there no traces of the ruins? Has it been completely eroded by the power of time?

Now it seems that, combined with the corpse of Gu Xia appearing here and the large number of aboriginal cities they saw along the way, it just happened to answer Grewu's words.

This may be the ancient Han ruins that have been sealed in dust for tens of thousands of years!

The so-called "Hangu ruins" outside are just a platform leading here. The real ruins are in this sealed continent!

…

Although the location was roughly confirmed, how to leave became another problem.

Angel looked at Grewu. If the Hangu ruins in the outside world were just a platform leading here, then there must be a passage.

Grewu shook his head: "I never thought that I would end up in the Hangu ruins, and I never asked 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 it is.

With nothing to do, he could only turn his attention back to Gu Xia's body, hoping to get some clues from him. After all, Gusiya came in from the outside world.

Popota began to examine Gucia's body.

"Nothing is missing. The disposable space soft capsule is still there. There is some wealth in it, and there are many medicines to restore injuries. It seems that Gu Xia was fully prepared when he came to the abyss, but unfortunately something happened halfway." Popota sighed. With a sound, he continued to detect the energy and began to examine the internal situation of the corpse: "From the consumption level of the remaining energy and 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 withstand the destruction of the physical body... Hey, there is a wound on the skull. It doesn't look like it was caused by energy. It looks a bit like it was pecked out by some kind of creature."

Popota looked back at Angel: "Gusiya shouldn't have had these injuries before she disappeared, right?"

Angel nodded.

Bobota stood up, "Nothing else was found except the skull wound. This should be the fatal injury."

The expressions of the two people slowly became heavy. It was not a fatal injury caused in the outside world, which meant that there was still some unknown creature here that killed Gu Xia.

Unknown creatures make them worried. However, Gu Xia's body also gave some other clues. From Gu Xia's death time, it can be roughly inferred that he died not long after entering here.

In other words, his entrance to the Hangu ruins from the outside world may be near this area.

Bobota: "You said before that Gucia suffered from hysteria, had auditory hallucinations, and felt someone calling him, and then he disappeared. Could the person calling him be the person who killed him?"

"It's hard to say."

Popota mentioned hysteria, and Angel recalled another incident.

"After the disappearance of Gu Xia, Brufen once talked to me about some things about the Hangu ruins. He said that in the past few hundred years, at least thousands of people have disappeared in the Hangu ruins. The frequency is not high, but it accumulates. There are a lot of them.”

"Later, the Frost Moon Alliance did research and came to the same point: all the people who disappeared in the Hangu ruins had a hysterical hallucination before disappearing. In addition to feeling someone calling in their ears, they could also see a human figure. " Angel recalled what Brufen said at that time: "It was finally confirmed that the figure was a man wearing a black crow cloak. It was recorded in some documents that he was the guide of death from the bottomless abyss."

"Kurando!"

When Angel said the name, Grewu immediately followed suit.

"You know that too?"

Grewu nodded: "Kurando is the god of death, a subordinate of an ancient person who masters the rules of death."

"The Ancient One? What is this?"

"The existences that have been alive since before Ragnarok are what we call ancient ones. Among them are demon gods, demons, and even aborigines. Kulando himself seems to be an ancient one."

Because of his limited vision, Grewu didn't actually know much. The only thing he knew was that Kulando was a person who specialized in guiding the souls of the dead. Among the aborigines, he was called the guide of death. In the eyes of the devil, he was a person who led the way to death. grim Reaper.

"Since he is the one who leads the way to death, could it be Kulando who killed Gusiya?" Popota asked.

Grave glanced at Popota and didn't want to answer, but the shopkeeper was nearby, so it still shook its head angrily, "I don't know, Kulando's deeds are very far away from my life."

For a moment, it seemed that the clue had been lost again. In other words, the clues are too complicated to be connected together.

"Whether it's Gu Xia killed by Kulando or not, the most important thing is to find a way out now." Angel: "Let's continue here to see if there are any clues. If not, let's go to the wasteland. As I walked, I felt... that the place calling me was not far away, and maybe there would be an answer there."

There were still many corpses in this town, but they found no other useful clues. Occasionally there are human corpses, but they are basically those of apprentices.

In the end, nothing was found.

"Since there are no clues, let's keep going forward." This time, they did not take the gondola, because Angel had sensed that they were very close to the Land of Calling.

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

...

A deep footprint was stepped on the ground. The heavy rain fell, and soon a pool of water accumulated at the footprint.

Such pools of water footprints continued to the depths of the wilderness.

Angel, who had insufficient control over his strength, accidentally stepped on another hole. Greywood and Bopota next to him pretended not to see it and continued to move forward.

This slightly eased Angel's embarrassment.

"Shopkeeper, can you feel who is calling you now?" Greywood asked 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 sense who was calling him. Was it a life calling, or was it guided by the pan-consciousness of the continent? These were still questions.

They walked several miles again.

The further he walked, the more familiar he felt.

Guxia also disappeared because he felt someone was calling him. Before, Angel thought that Guxia's situation was very similar to his own.

But now that he thought about it, there were still differences between them.

Guxia was hysterical and rejected when he heard that he was called, which was completely opposite to his own situation.

Having said that, Angel was still very vigilant. After all, Angel himself would also confuse people's five senses and cognition. Maybe this kind of familiarity was a deliberate illusion.

"There seems to be a black shadow in front?" Bopota pointed to the front.

Angel raised his head and looked far away. The front was still covered by rain and fog, but in the shadows, there was indeed a not very tall but very tall black shadow standing in the distance.

This was a wasteland, and he didn't even see a slightly larger stone along the way. Suddenly a black shadow appeared, which was quite abrupt.

The black shadow was motionless, and they approached carefully and cautiously.

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

Standing alone in the wilderness, bathing 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 means that there was vegetation here." Bopota sighed and walked towards the tree.

Angel was going to follow, but was stopped by Greywood.

At this time, Bopota had come to the vicinity of the tree. After he circled around the tree for a few times, he found that Angel and others did not follow.

He walked over again. When Bopota stood in front of Greywood, Greywood's eyes flashed with doubts, and he whispered: "It shouldn't be, I feel that there is something wrong with the tree, and it seems that there is a dangerous breath left. How..." Will you be okay?

It was not until then that Angel understood why Greywood stopped him. It was probably because he felt that there would be danger ahead, and Bopota was used as a pathfinder by it.

Bopota ignored Graywood. They were not of the same race and did not get along with each other.

Angel shook his head and walked towards the tree. Since Angel had walked forward, Graywood naturally followed.

When Graywood came to the tree, he happened to see Angel taking something from the dead tree and putting it in his palm.

It came forward curiously: "What is this... a feather?"

At this time, what was placed in Angel's palm was a black feather. The down feather was a little hard, and the color was like a deep void.

Bopota also came over at this time. When he saw the feather in Angel's hand, he was stunned for a moment: "Where did you find this feather?"

Angel pointed to the dry branch.

Bopota looked confused: "When I came here just now, I observed carefully, but I didn't see any feathers."

"Are you sure?" Angel looked at Bopota.

Bopota said in a firm tone: "This tree is not tall. I looked carefully and there is nothing."

Bopota would not lie about such things, which means that this feather is likely to have just appeared?

"When I walked over just now, the first thing I saw was this feather. It was very conspicuous." Angel looked at the feather in his hand, and doubt flashed in his eyes: "Could it be that there is some kind of creature nearby that we have not discovered?"

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

For a while, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came to their ears:

"This is a gift from Kulangdo to you. Please accept it, the savior of Yuantan Continent."
