Chapter 109 108. Purple Light

After reading Nettie's diary, Lu Yu and his group were silent all night.

They gathered the bones of Nettie and others together and buried them shallowly, preparing to take them away from this tragic place that bound them for their entire lives on the way back.

If they still have souls floating on this land, they must also hope to see Lu Yu and his group do this.

Leaving the cave, Lu Yu once again looked at this place that he could not see the whole picture because it was dark.

Low-hanging vines, weeds as tall as a person, and big trees that stretched their branches to the sky in order to compete for sunlight. The strong roots of the trees bulged on the ground, like the exposed ribs of a skinny patient.

The wasteland reclaimed by Nettie and his group left no trace in the passage of time. If it weren't for the fog monster being bored and scratching the ground with a wooden stick, no one would know what had happened to them and this land.

After Lu Yu and his group set off again, they took out the magic meter in their hands after flipping through a mountain.

The value is already three, which means that the magic power here is half of that in the outside world.

Lu Yu, Lulutis, and the magical life form of the fog demon can all clearly feel the discomfort.

The fog demon's reaction is the most obvious. She has completely turned into a scarf and hung on Lu Yu's neck.

"The effect of the magic suppression is becoming more and more obvious. The monsters in this area should have the power to carry the curse."

After catching several wild beasts and low-level monsters in the periphery, they did not detect the curse power of Sayer. After entering the new area, Lulutis was eager to verify her guess.

What you want, you don't have it.

Lu Yu wandered around for a long time. Not to mention monsters, there was not a single ferocious wild beast, but there were quite a few harmless small animals.

At this moment, Lu Yu and his group were like trainers who were ready to step into the grass and wait for monsters to throw balls to capture Pokémon.

Usually, when you are on the road, stepping on the grass and jumping monsters will jump in seconds. When you really want to hit a monster, it will never come.

This kind of thing that you can't get what you want will happen to everyone. For example, the Sanctuary Elf Brigade that followed Lu Yu into the Silent Mountains encountered a little trouble at this moment.

The Sanctuary Elf Brigade, which almost completely copied Lu Yu's preparation list for entering the Silent Mountains, was led by the sixth-level magician, Old Moore.

Many high-level magicians in Soresen were shocked by Old Moore's decision. The Silent Mountains had a strong suppression effect on magicians. Old Moore, who couldn't use magic smoothly, might not be as powerful as a group of newly-started white wood-level adventurers. At least they were more powerful when swinging their weapons.

Many people who didn't know advised Old Moore, who "loved his son eagerly", not to go into battle in person, but just wait for good news.

But how could these people know that in Old Moore's heart, removing the curse for his son was only a secondary purpose. This trip to the Silent Mountains, he hoped to find the source of the curse power that could pollute and spread.

Understanding and using this power can not only greatly increase your strength, but also make rank breakthrough no longer a vision.

This is the common wish of all magicians who pursue high ranks.

Old Moore didn't dare to violate the Elf King's ban, and he didn't dare to touch Lu Yu's bad luck, after all, he was a seventh-level magician.

Following Lu Yu into the Silent Mountains, the sixty-man team formed by Old Moore only went in the same direction as Lu Yu in the initial stage.

After resting last night, Old Moore chose a weedy road alone to continue looking for creatures with curses.

Old Moore's plan was exactly the same as Lu Yu's, but in terms of action efficiency, Old Moore was obviously superior.

After being cautious in the early stage, it was found that Old Moore's team would not be attacked by monsters crazily and began to speed up. It only took Moore one afternoon to go from the area with a magic concentration of five to the area with a concentration of three.

As the saying goes, hard work always pays off. Perhaps seeing Old Moore so active, the surprise that Lu Yu had been waiting for fell on Old Moore's side.

"Why don't we arrange people to sit on flying mounts to scout the entire Silent Mountains?"

Someone who didn't understand the situation once raised this classic question at a meeting about the Silent Mountains.

If he could see the monsters that Old Moore's team was facing at the moment, he would definitely shut up.

This is a monster that is twice the size of a human and looks like a dragonfly.

Two huge crimson eyes occupy half of the space on its head. Moore and others saw themselves in the compound eyes of these monsters flying with almost transparent wings and hovering in the air.

Tens of millions of themselves.

Looking directly at this group of flying monsters actually made many well-trained warriors present feel palpitations.

The fine hairs on the dragonfly's feet are like steel needles. If they fly past and rub against the warriors, it will be a bloody wound.

Because of their huge size, the two sharp teeth that make up the chewing mouthparts are like guillotines.

Such a body structure is destined that they will not like to eat vegetarian food, but are completely carnivorous monsters.

Old Moore's team encountered not one, but a small group of more than a dozen.

Dragonflies flying all over the sky surrounded Old Moore's team and rubbed their "guillotines" constantly. The slight sound of their wings overlapped and amplified, making the warriors holding their weapons feel their weapons tremble.

After a brief panic, the archers in the team shot arrows coated with poisonous phosphorus powder at the group of monsters that were about to attack.

Although they were huge, these monsters obviously had not evolved armor to protect their soft bodies, or their body structure did not allow them to have such things, so the arrows easily penetrated the dragonflies.

Like a horn to launch an attack, the old Moore in the confrontation and the giant dragonflies started a fierce battle.

Realizing that the arrows would penetrate too much and the poison would take too long to take effect, the archers in the team quickly replaced the phosphorus powder that could ignite the dragonfly body.

The shield guards raised their shields and formed a circle to protect the archers who shot deadly arrows into the sky. Even though these dragonflies could move at extremely high speeds, they still could not escape the fate of being penetrated in front of the hot hands of the top hunters.

The archers tried their best to ensure that they could hit the eyes of these monsters, because they found that if they hit other places, this guy would not die immediately, and could even continue to fly as if nothing had happened.

Just now, when a companion was finishing off a dragonfly that had fallen down, the dragonfly that had faked its death bit off its body.

Seeing the companion with half of his body missing and listening to his wailing before death, everyone finally felt that they were in the Silent Mountains.

This is the strange mountain that can even swallow up crystal-level warriors!

Although it seems that these huge dragonflies have obvious weaknesses and weak defenses and are easy to deal with, this is only the first one they have seen. What else will appear next?

Will the things that the two crystal-level warriors saw before they died appear in front of them?

Old Moore only provided some shield magic in this battle. Although he carried a lot of crystals infused with magic, he did not intend to waste it.

The closer he is to the core area, the less his magic power can be restored. Whether these magic crystals can support him in a fierce battle, even he himself is not sure.

After the battle, the accompanying clerk counted the damage as usual and recorded the information of the monsters so that he could submit it to His Majesty after going out.

"Killed, two. Cause of death, a sudden attack by a giant dragonfly that pretended to be dead when finishing off the enemy."

"Six seriously injured, can be restored to light injuries with healing magic."

"The seriously injured have not shown any language disorder, so it is speculated that the monster has no curse power that pollutes the language."

Old Moore personally cut open the body of the giant dragonfly, and the magic power contained in the magic core he took out was less than half of the average level of fourth and fifth level monsters in the outside world, which shocked Old Moore, who originally focused on the curse power.

The magic cores of these giant dragonflies are extremely small, some of which are not even the size of a human fist.

"Teacher, you have been frowning and staring at the magic core for a long time, is there any problem?"

Old Moore's disciple asked cautiously when he saw his master frowning.

"Something is wrong."

"Do you mean the magic core?"

Old Moore hesitated for a long time before answering.

"Do you remember that the monsters that were captured when they attacked people outside the Silent Mountains carrying cursed power, their magic cores were about the same size as the monsters of the same level in the outside world."

"But this one in our hand..." Old Moore raised a magic core that was less than half the size of a fist, "Since the Silent Mountains have been sealed off for so many years, no one has conducted further research here, so we overlooked a detail that should have been discovered earlier."

"If a region is naturally scarce in magic, the life form it breeds will change."

In places without magic, the magic core, an organ used to store magic and interact with magic, has zero effect, so in the reproduction of generations, the magic core will gradually degenerate.

When the environment becomes extreme, this degradation will be particularly rapid.

"The group of monsters that rushed out of the Silent Mountains more than a hundred years ago still had normal-sized magic cores, but this group of giant dragonflies is so small. Is it the individual difference of life? Has the Silent Mountains undergone earth-shaking changes in the past hundred years? Or... is there really a place in the Silent Mountains where magic exists?"

The clerk recorded Old Moore's words truthfully, and after asking for instructions, he opened the communication scroll and conveyed the information to the Soresen magicians who were waiting for information outside the Silent Mountains.

The magicians were ecstatic and felt that it was the right decision for Old Moore to enter the mountains.

So many warriors had gone in before, and they had not fed back any useful information except killing all the way.

Only the knowledgeable magicians had to venture in to explore the truth hidden behind the Silent Mountains!

Just as these magicians were cheering, in the depths of the mountains that they could not see, in the rolling mountains, purple light was flashing rapidly.

That light was as dazzling as it was more than a hundred years ago.
