1481 Arrival
These anomalies hundreds of meters away from the river beach, as the number increased, they were finally noticed by Gemma. Gemma's expression changed drastically, and she wanted to increase her speed.
But Raymond, who immediately stopped Jima's behavior, directly stated his conclusion. "These traces were left behind a month or two ago, so if something really happened to the village of Phantom Butterfly, there is no point in rushing there now!"
"No! No! Even if the village is attacked, the village supported by the spirit of the barrier will definitely be able to persist for several months. As long as you arrive in time, you will definitely be able to rescue!"
"Isn't the Phantom Butterfly a species with relatively few natural enemies in the underworld?"
Raymond asked a very strange question, which made Jima hesitate for a moment, and then answered with some uncertainty. "Although there are not many creatures in the underworld that will actively attack us, disputes between the same species will still occasionally break out..."
After telling the reason, there was a faint sadness and anger in Jima's expression, and as it was explained, Raymond also understood that the fight between the same clan of the Phantom Butterfly group was the reason why the group could not grow. root cause.
It's just that this matter involves the secret of the survival of the Phantom Butterfly clan, so the young Phantom Butterfly Jima only knows that it may happen, but she doesn't know what kind of changes will occur when the conflict between the same clan occurs. And how it will end. Moreover, the village of Phantom Butterfly hidden in the mountain col has never been attacked in Jima's memory, and what she knows about the conflicts between the same clans. It also accidentally learned from the chats of the elders in the clan, and naturally became more and more anxious and uneasy.
But as Raymond noticed the traces caused by the outbreak of these conflicts, the voyeurism that had disappeared before was felt by him again. And the distance seemed to be getting closer and closer, as if there were invisible eyes around him, observing him carefully with a scrutinizing gaze.
He didn't feel palpitations, and there was no sign of imminent danger, but he couldn't find it when being observed by this kind of gaze, which made Raymond very annoyed.
Therefore, Raymond, who had expanded the detection range of his perception, slightly increased his speed. Taking the phantom butterfly Jima, she started walking quickly.
The rushing and roaring river became more and more turbulent soon after it continued to move forward, and the river beach also changed from gentle to rugged. In the end, after passing three dangerous shoals in succession, Jima stopped moving forward in vain.
"Sir, we are close to the village here. After bypassing the fork in the front, we will enter the village. If the village is still supporting, then I believe you can see the ice mist barrier released by the spirit of the barrier. Please You must not touch that barrier!" When we arrived here, the shouting channel not far away became more and more rapid and turbulent due to its vain narrowing. The water mist stirred up by the water hitting the rocks on the river bank made the ghosts wander. There was condensation of water vapor on the two pairs of colorful wings of Diegema, but it looked extremely serious when it said these words.
Raymond, who also noticed subtle changes in the environment ahead, stood still and asked. "You mentioned before that the water soul can become the master of the barrier, so what exactly is this barrier spirit?"
"The master of the barrier is the end of the spirit of the barrier. It is also a special existence that mutates and appears after the seemingly weak water soul has been continuously cultivated and improved. They are the guardians of the entire village. They have many incredible powers. ability……"
Ji Ma, the Phantom Butterfly, spoke this passage skillfully as if she was reciting it. There was an extremely pious look between her eyebrows.
What can be called 'enchantment' in the underworld generally refers to a phenomenon similar to the superposition of talisman arrays and force fields. It's just that the master of the barrier and the spirit of the barrier , for a while Raymond didn’t understand why he could connect with the lowest creature in the underworld, the water soul.
But since he was already close, there was nothing to consider. After waking up the girl Becky who was still meditating on his shoulder, Raymond followed the Phantom Butterfly Jima across the natural barrier. On the rocky beach, I quickly saw many phantom butterflies distributed in a fan shape on the river beach!
These phantom butterflies, which are much larger than Jima, are within some kind of isolation barrier. What they face is a mountain path obscured by thick fog.
And as Raymond observed carefully, there was a light golden luster flashing on the wings of these phantom butterflies, and the patterns on their wings were as clear as some kind of runes.
But after seeing the appearance of these phantom butterflies, Jima fell down and exclaimed. "Butterfly of Resentment! Oh my god! It's hopeless..."
Raymond, who released the barrier to hide when he saw the situation there, was a little puzzled. "Butterflies of Resentment? Aren't they phantom butterflies?"
Gemma, whose face was pale and had a look of despair, seemed to have lost all her strength. She lowered her head and lost the courage to even look at it again, and she lamented. "They are our kind, but they are all mutants produced by the refining of the lich, and are the natural enemies of the Phantom Butterfly..."
Hearing the name 'natural enemy', Raymond couldn't help but shook his head, but the girl Becky sitting on his left shoulder turned around in vain and shouted at the rocky beach. "come out!"
Almost at the same time, Raymond, who had been on guard, suddenly turned around and faced a strange rock on the rocky beach he had just passed. The force field protection on his body surface was also gathered.
The phantom butterfly Jima, hiding behind him, was full of confusion and fear, because there was nothing unusual in his field of vision. There was no living creature in the rocky beach covered by darkness.
But facing the rocky beach, the faint light released by many moss-like netherworld plants made everything in Raymond's sight seem a little erratic, but the direction he and the girl Becky were looking at was surprisingly consistent.
What made Raymond a little strange was that although he felt that there was something there, the girl Becky standing on his left shoulder did not make a sound, and suddenly pulled the strand of hair by his ear, which seemed very nervous.
This strange confrontation did not last long. In the shadow of the strange rock that Raymond was looking at, an old and weak voice was heard in vain. "Powerful outsider, please don't misunderstand..."
Hearing this voice, the Phantom Butterfly Jima exclaimed. "Great Elder!"
"Powerful outsider, thank you for bringing back little Jima from our tribe, but the village can no longer support it for a long time. Can I beg you to let little Jima come over? The future of the village needs to be taken over by it..."
The inexplicable emotion in the tone made Raymond stunned, and the girl Becky who was pulling the hair by his ear was also stunned.
But the Phantom Butterfly Jima, who rushed over with a flash of his body, immediately bowed down in front of the strange stone. With the sound of rustling like a breeze, Jima's two pairs of colorful wings drooped lower and lower, and finally drooped to the ground, and a faint sobbing sound followed.
Raymond, with a red glow in his eyes, felt that the exploration of the strange stone was fruitless, but in his feeling, there was a presence that made him a little uneasy.
The girl Becky, who was standing on his left shoulder, also had a strong sense of vigilance, and this was the first time such a situation had occurred, so Raymond asked the reason.
"I don't know either, but I felt something when there was a change there, and I couldn't tell whether it was hostile or dangerous, which was why I was uneasy..."
After Becky answered blankly, she stopped talking, but Raymond could feel a faint breath released by her like a thread, covering the strange stone in a net-like shape.
But before Becky could complete her move, the kneeling Phantom Butterfly Jima turned his face in vain, and said softly with a sad look on his face. "My lord, can you take me away from here..."
