Chapter 1489
The barrier left here is still there, and there are no signs of violent destruction. Most of the footprints on the ground are in one direction and do not appear to be particularly messy.
All the traces seem to indicate that their evacuation was the result of consideration - although perhaps a little hasty.
In short, if this is the case, they will definitely leave a message. Or a picture, or a note.
"Hmm..."
Dake saw the back of Professor Sylph, who was standing near the place where the pumpkin carriage originally stopped, and seemed to be looking at something.
Bishop Sabrina Melville, the Twin Paladins, and Gavin North also rushed to their respective camps and carefully searched for the messages left behind.
Dak went around from the side of Professor Sylph to the front, and finally saw the object she was looking at - it was a crystal ball!
Crystal ball!
A carrier that can record images and sounds, the best message transmission prop. Dak finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the crystal ball.
The crystal ball was left behind, indicating that there was still enough time to record when evacuating.
The crystal ball might record what they encountered, or the direction they evacuated.
In short, it must be a good thing. Definitely
Chapter 949: Dark Dimon and the Giant Elephant in the Mist (4k)
It was not until Professor Kazel gathered that Professor Sylph activated the crystal ball in her hand under the gaze of the three.
As the light in the crystal ball gradually lit up, Chris quietly emerged from Dark's shadow.
Although she could get a high-altitude view when lurking in the shadow, it was indeed more reassuring to see it with her own eyes.
According to her understanding of Oli and others, unless there was no possibility, even if they evacuated, they would evacuate in the direction of the young master.
But since they did not do so, it means that they did encounter an unsolvable crisis, and even deliberately led them to a different direction.
Chris also wanted to know what they had encountered! Under the control of Professor Sylph, the crystal ball gradually floated in the air, and the hazy image spread outward from the center of the sphere. The body of the crystal ball disappeared in the image, and a faint sound came from it.
It was extremely dull, like a drum beating.
In the foggy Mountain of Gods, the loud sound penetrated the heavy interference of countless fogs and reached the ears of Professor Medea and others, and was even absorbed and recorded by the crystal ball.
At this time, because there were no basic coordinates, it was impossible to determine from which direction the drum sound came.
But by carefully observing the scene in the crystal ball, it seemed that some traces could be found.
The original position of the crystal ball should be on the carriage. In the picture reflected in the crystal ball, there was a tall black shadow like a pillar supporting the sky-that was the image of [Demeter's Flower].
Based on this, Professor Sylph fine-tuned the direction of the crystal ball to make it consistent with reality.
After that, they relied on their strong hearing to identify the direction from which the sound came - it was on the other side completely opposite to the location of the [Flower of Demeter]!
In other words, if there is no change, the thing that made the sound should pass over this hill first, and then continue to the area where the [Flower of Demeter] is located, which is almost a straight line!
But in fact, Dark and others who were in that area did not encounter the unknown thing... or even notice it at all.
This is roughly related to the closed nature of the area, but it is indeed because of what Professor Medea and others did.
The image of the crystal ball continued to play, and frequent exclamations came from it. Among them were from the academy, the Holy Church, and the North.
The roar of beasts in the Mountain of Gods is not uncommon, but that is in the outer area, where the fog is not thick.
After entering, due to the thick fog, the sound could not be transmitted at all, and naturally it could no longer be heard.
So when this drum-like loud noise suddenly appeared, it really startled the people guarding here.
They were originally worried about whether the investigation team would encounter an accident, and they were extremely sensitive to any disturbance. They were immediately alarmed, and then almost everyone who noticed it looked in that direction.
However, except for the drum sound that would sound every once in a while, there was no abnormality in that direction, and the thick fog surrounding the barrier did not have any ripples.
But the sound lasted too long, so long that the professors in the carriage walked out one by one, staring at the direction where the sound came from with frowns.
The professors did not feel nervous at first, but were just rationally discussing the source of the sound.
Professor Lily even excitedly suggested that she should go to investigate in person, but was stopped by Professor Mitia in time - they all knew that Professor Lily never joked about such things, and she would really go if she said she would go!
Fortunately, Professor Lily was really just suggesting it. She just flew a little bit in that direction, staring wide-eyed to see something.
However, the sound lasted for half an hour. When their initial vigilance gradually dropped and they even became slightly numb, a new strange phenomenon suddenly appeared!
Professor Sylph accelerated the flow rate of the image presentation, and only slowed it down again when the abnormality appeared.
In the direction where the drum sound came from, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the fog.
The black shadow was very faint, and the way it appeared was almost exactly the same as when the black shadow of the [Demeter Flower] first appeared.
It was even farther and bigger than the shadow presented by the Flower of Demeter.
Since the outline of the shadow appeared in everyone's field of vision, the drum-like sound suddenly became clearer and louder.
It was faintly accompanied by some kind of vibration.
Someone immediately leaned down and put his ear to the ground to feel it carefully. When he stood up again, his face was pale.
Professor Medea, Professor Harvey, Professor Lily, Ophelia, Oli... Even Ergani came out of the car, frowning and observing the huge and terrifying shadow.
It was exactly the same as the shadow of the Flower of Demeter. As long as you stare at that direction, the shadow will become clearer and clearer, until - you can see the outline of the shadow completely and thoroughly!
But you can't reach that point from the perspective of the crystal ball.
Dak and his companions could only judge from the professors' voices that it seemed to be a... giant elephant?
"Giant elephant?"
Dak immediately frowned and wondered which of the twelve gods of Olympus was related to elephants.
But with his current knowledge, he could not imagine it at all. And there was nothing related to elephants among the things sent by Principal Arte.
So the appearance of this giant elephant brought more pressure than the appearance of the [Flower of Demeter].
And [Flower of Demeter] is a plant.
Plants naturally give people the impression that they are rooted in the ground and will not move, which makes people feel more secure.
In fact, the [Flower of Demeter] did not move - of course, it may also be because Dak broke its flower stem before it fully woke up, making it unable to move.
But in short, when facing an opponent who cannot move, humans always have a certain psychological advantage.
Because at this time, they can freely choose to advance or retreat. However, the unknown giant elephant is an animal!
It can move, and gives people a very clear feeling that it is moving towards this side!
Just staring at the black shadow, you can feel the approaching terrifying pressure, which makes people feel terrified.
People who are slightly weaker even have their hearts beating violently after staring for a long time.
As the heart beats faster, the drumbeat in the ears of those people will suddenly speed up until it exceeds the heartbeat, and then drag the heart to beat faster, and the blood flow will accelerate until the heart explodes!
If someone hadn't noticed it in advance and awakened all the people who were attracted by the black shadow, I'm afraid the blood would have exploded all over the camp!
"This is..."
Dak and others looked at the crystal ball fiercely.
Chapter 949 Dak Dimon and the Giant Elephant in the Mist (4k)>>
The person who suddenly stood up to remind was very eye-catching.
It was a girl who had never appeared in front of everyone before. She belonged to the Northland, and since entering the Mountain of Gods, she had been sitting in the carriage pulled by the four-winged flying dragon in the Northland.
The hair color of the girl is very similar to that of the [Stormwind Bride], both are as clear as the sky.
Her eyes are darker, as mysterious and attractive as the sea. Dak exchanged glances with the two professors quickly.
Chris, who was standing next to her, said directly: "This is Quintina, Quintina North, the daughter of the [Tiger of the North Wind]. According to intelligence, she is a [Weather Envoy]. Of course, [Weather Envoy] may just be her superficial profession. After all, [Weather Envoy] is conceptually a magic profession that controls multiple elements such as clouds, rain, thunder, ice and snow, and has the defect of being general but not refined. She may also have a specific strength."
"As of now, her perception ability is different from that of ordinary people." Professor Kazel said incisively.
Professor Sylph nodded and controlled the crystal ball to continue to release influence.
Although the appearance of Quintina North saved some people, it did not affect the overall situation.
The three teams that stayed on the hill quickly confirmed the danger of the giant elephant, and their representatives immediately came out and gathered in front of the pumpkin carriage.
Surprisingly, the representative of the Holy Church was not one of the four golden-armored paladins who stayed behind, but an old woman who had just walked out of the Holy Church chariot.
The old woman was hunched over, with wrinkles all over her face. She used a cane when walking, and looked like she had difficulty walking.
But the four golden-armored paladins who followed her were very respectful to her, even... more respectful than to Bishop Sabrina Melville!
It was obviously not simply because of shallow factors such as age, seniority, and qualifications.
The old man who could still follow the team into the Mountain of the Gods under such circumstances must have extraordinary strength.
Maybe she is the real reliance of the Holy Church for this mission! "Chris?" Dak chose to ask Chris very directly. Chris also pointed out the identity of the old woman without any ambiguity.
She was an elder of the Holy Church, and an elder who had retired from the position of Saint!
"Haley Saint Meredith, this is her name." Chris emphasized.
"[Bloody Saint] Meredith..." Professor Kazel suddenly said the past title of Hayley Saint Meredith.
Dak frowned slightly and said: "[Bloody Saint], and also the name of Saint..."
Chris said: "Meredith is an artificial saint, her actual age is not as old as she looks."
She glanced at Professor Sylph, as if hinting at something that Dak said he could not understand at all.
Dake said: "Whether she is born or not, she is always a saint. Since she is still alive, she should not be underestimated. What about this person in the Northland?"
He pointed to the representative of the Northland.
Chris said: "Hugo Houston, the strongest weather envoy in the Northland today. He is also a magician and a pioneer in combining weather envoys with magic technology. He taught Quintina North weather magic. He should be Gavin North's trump card."
Dake nodded and continued to read.
The appearance of the giant elephant brought out all the trump cards of the Holy Church and the Northland team, which also means that the threat brought by the giant elephant has reached such a level.
The pressure cannot be felt from the crystal ball alone, but it seems to be extremely suffocating.
The expressions of Professor Medea and others are also very serious.
That is a more severe expression than when the [Flower of Demeter] was discovered.
It can be seen that the giant elephant is likely to be a more terrifying existence than the [Flower of Demeter].
That's right, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen to evacuate so quickly! The discussion time of the three representatives was very short, because no matter who they were, they were very good at perception, and they could sense the horror of the giant elephant even if they were far away.
o
After they gathered together, they didn't say any extra nonsense, and directly expressed their feelings, and reached a high degree of consensus.
Then the three parties simultaneously proposed to inform the nine (ten) investigation team that had been on the road for some time about the arrival of the giant elephant.
However, they encountered a problem in choosing the messenger.
They didn't know that there were no monsters on the road from here to the area where the [Flower of Demeter] was located, so they had to consider the strength of the messenger.
And the few people who were the leaders of the current team could not act as messengers, and finally the pressure came to the college with the most high-end combat power.
Lily raised her hand directly, but was directly rejected.
Except for [Snake God] Nix and [God of Wisdom] Ergani, Professor Lily was the strongest among the remaining team of the college, and she couldn't leave.
Therefore, the maids led by Oli immediately took on the task. However, just as they made a decision, a new change occurred!
In the mist outside the camp's barrier, close to the [Flower of Demeter] area, countless green threads emerged faintly.
That was the embodiment of the divine breath, the "floral fragrance" emanating from the stamens of the [Flower of Demeter].
Obviously, Dark and others had already entered that area at this time, and it was probably when Gavin North's winged tiger beast was eroded by the green threads.
The green threads in the mist here were also slightly sparse, but their danger level did not decrease at all.
As time passed, those green threads became clearer and brighter, and spread out everywhere like the veins of leaves.
The camp's barrier was even directly eroded, and the mist with green threads drilled into the barrier, and more and more.
Some magicians drove the magic elves to test it, and almost immediately they were woody and became fertilizer for the seeds to germinate and grow.
