Chapter 775 Shadow Killing
When collecting Haska's potions, one of them was not labeled. The dark green liquid did not seem unusual, but it gave people a sense of heaviness and depth, attracting people's attention.
Angel used the Eye of Nalda to identify it, and the final result surprised him.
"Withered Waiting." This was actually a bottle of intermediate potion, and it was a very special intermediate potion.
The effect was only one sentence: "Reducing life consumption can effectively prolong life."
This effect seemed ordinary and could not support the glory of being an intermediate potion. But when Angel saw the notes behind it, his eyes lit up.
"Using this potion will not consume any potential, but during the process of the potion taking effect, the body will wither significantly, and the body will become as weak as a mortal. This is a reversible effect. The longest life extension can reach 100 years."
The fact that it does not consume any potential is enough to support the quality of an intermediate potion. By shrinking the consumption of the body and squeezing out a life span of up to 100 years, it is the most powerful life extension potion Angel currently has.
Moreover, because it does not consume potential and can be used with other life-extending potions, it is an extremely precious potion for many wizard apprentices stuck in front of the Great Barrier.
Withered waiting will always wait for the sweetness of spring returning to the earth.
This potion alone may be able to sell for tens of thousands of magic crystals at the auction. Angel did not expect to get such a precious potion here.
However, this also made Angel more vigilant. The reason why Haska was able to calmly write down the notes on the paper was largely because he had no lack of life. He believed that he could rely on the remaining life and this bottle of "Withered Waiting" to cross the Great Barrier. Once he became a formal wizard, it would be easy to leave here at that time, just walk through the plane alley.
But what Haska did not expect was that he thought he had explored this area, but in fact there was still danger under the undercurrent; in the end, because of his carelessness, he stayed here forever.
"Unfortunately, Haska did not record what the hidden dangers are on this dead island."
Haska's collection is mostly potions, and there are also several magic pattern scrolls, all of which have never been opened. From this, it can be seen that his death was extremely quick, and he didn't even have time to resist.
Angel put away Haska's relics with worry, and prepared to continue looking for clues.
But not long after he left, he returned to this empty area. He took away all the extraordinary items, but he didn't touch all the daily necessities.
He originally thought that he didn't lack these supplies, and it was useless to take them. But when he left, he felt a little alert. It seemed quite inappropriate to leave these daily necessities here.
If this island is really the place that Deep Sea Song and Xia Lu Hailing are looking for, they can infer that there were people on the island before when they see these unrotten materials after they come in.
Angel knows that there is a magic method for formal wizards called breaking delusion. Through clues, you can go back to the past and restore the historical truth.
The traces he left here were so heavy that even the daily necessities were placed here, and he might be caught by someone. Thinking of this, Angel turned around, took out a disposable space capsule from the bracelet, and put all the daily necessities here into it.
At the same time, he carefully eliminated his own traces nearby, including pheromones. When everything was done, he turned around and left.
Angel did not go to the Ship Tomb again. The ship inside was already damaged by more than half, and he could not find any useful information inside. He decided to go along the coast to see if there were other traces of people.
The ships in the Ship Tomb are basically ships sailing in the Devil's Sea. The smallest ship here can carry more than 50 people, and there are even many large ships carrying more than a thousand people. But strangely, he did not see too many skeletons in the Ship Tomb.
This means that many people got off the ship. After getting off the ship, whether it is daily life, there will be traces of people, and there should also be clues. Therefore, what Angel is looking for now is the gathering place of these people who got off the ship.
He carefully searched along the coast in one direction.
Human garbage occasionally appeared on the coast, but no complete human traces were seen. Until Angel came to a river flowing into the sea, he saw a large number of fire remnants here.
There should have been many people gathering here, but there were no skeletons nearby, so they should not have stayed here for a long time.
Angel's eyes did not look at the opposite side of the river bank, but along the river flowing into the sea, looking at the source of the river. This river flowing into the sea should be connected to a lake or an underground waterway on the island.
Since ancient times, humans have always lived by the river. For example, there are many primitive tribes in the central area of Feilan Continent, and there must be rivers around the addresses of the tribes they built.
Even though the river water here is very dirty, Angel still thinks that those who survived may go up the water.
He followed the river bank and walked inland again.
As he walked, he also controlled the exploration puppet to check the situation under the river.
The exploration puppet was found by him on the previous ship carrying white shells. It was a full box, and it would be a waste not to take it. Using it as a wizard's eye at this time is obviously much more convenient than his personal search.
In Angel's vision, the underwater world is much more exciting than what he sees with his naked eyes.
From time to time, he could find a few remains underwater, but he found nothing near the river bank. However, it was precisely because of the corpses underwater that Angel was more certain that he should find clues along the river bank.
After walking for about half an hour, Angel finally saw a platform leaning against the cliff. There were obvious signs of human habitation here, and even houses built with wooden boards.
At the same time, there were a large number of bones here.
The bones were scattered, and from the location where they died, it can be roughly inferred that they might be escaping in all directions.
These bones had more or less information records, such as portable diaries, iron box necklaces... and so on. Angel had a vague intuition that perhaps he could get more clues from them.
One portable diary after another appeared in Angel's hands, and he put it back in place after reading it.
As he read deeper, his expression gradually became solemn. Most of the records were whining and hysterical shouting, but from these desperate remarks, Angel saw a word that almost everyone used.
Black shadow.
Every now and then, a black shadow would come and kill people with cruel means and then leave. He had many ways to kill people, and his killing speed was incredibly fast. Many times, it was just a blink of an eye, and he felt a hot stream splashing on his face. When he opened his eyes, his companions beside him had been separated from their heads.
The black shadow was like a monster in the shadow, weighing heavily on everyone's heart. Under pressure, many people collapsed, and some even showed their fangs and started to attack their companions. Some people chose to end their lives by jumping into the river to commit suicide.
Only then did Angel suddenly realize why there were so many corpses in the river before.
After reading these people's logs, thinking about the records of the Goblin of the Night Fu, and the black shadow that Angel had seen before, he also felt the invisible pressure.
According to their description of the black shadow, maybe that Haska also died at the hands of the black shadow.
One hit to kill, otherwise why didn't Haska even have time to take out the magic pattern leather scroll.
Angel did not touch the corpses of these people. After erasing his own traces, he walked towards a cave on the cliff. This is a cave that was obviously dug out by humans. It is not too deep. There are also corpses inside, but there are much fewer than those outside.
Moreover, the skeletons here are basically wearing iron armor and silver armor, and they are probably knights. After all, only professionals such as knights can dig out such a cave in a short time.
Angel did not find any clues in the armored corpses. Professionals basically do not express their emotions in words.
However, it is worth mentioning that their armor is intact.
Unlike the occasional half-body skeleton outside, their armor is very complete, except for the rust left by the years, there is almost no other damage. There is no external injury on their skeletons, so the cause of death is a bit strange. Maybe the "black shadow" also knows energy operation?
Angel walked around the cave and thought that there would be no more gains, but in a very remote place, a pile of dead wood surrounded by wooden fences, he found a hidden skeleton.
There was also a notebook of his near the bones.
Angel picked it up and saw that the contents in the front were similar to those recorded by others. They also came here accidentally from the Gear Abyss, and then landed in the Ship Tomb... It was not until the last few lines of the notebook that Angel took it seriously.
It also wrote "terrifying black shadow", but this person seemed to be recording when he was hiding in the dead wood.
The text left a row of words in a sloppy manner: "He is outside, I saw him, he killed Taki and Moana... I was so scared, I was about to die... Ah! I saw him! When he killed Joseph, I saw his back! His clothes, clothes... That horned helmet and the broken leg hook, like a person, the legendary pirate king of violence recorded in the book, Turas!... Oops, he found me..."
There was no record at the end, but from these contents, Angel also roughly guessed some clues.
First of all, he finally learned the identity and name of the violent king. Although he is a "legendary" pirate, it seems that he is just a mortal title, and has nothing to do with the legendary wizard.
The owner of the skeleton in front of him was a person from the Bronze Age of Feilan Continent 1,500 years ago. At that time, there was just a rush of boats, and young people embarked on the journey of the sea. He was one of them.
1,500 years ago, he had the "King of Violence" in his records.
And the Goblin of the Night Fu, who lived only 300 years ago, also encountered the "King of Violence".
This can explain one thing, that this King of Violence lived for a long, long time, and maybe he is still alive now.
The identity of "Black Shadow" is obvious, and perhaps the person who killed Huska is also this King of Violence. I just don't know what this person is like, why he killed so many people, and... where is he?
