Chapter 673 The World in the Mountains

The search team entered the deepest part of the Holy Mountain, and the wolf cavalry who were responsible for leading the way found themselves stepping into a completely unfamiliar place.

Deep in their homeland, it was such a strange world.

Hao Ren followed the silent Uruk, and the dozen knights and monks who accompanied him were on both sides of the road, vigilant and searching. Everyone's nerves were already tense, but they had not encountered the enemy yet. .

"The other wolf cavalry have also sent messages," Uruk muttered suddenly, his ears trembling slightly in the air. The werewolves' special communication secret method allowed them to keep in touch with each other in this mountain, "Several teams are arriving. When we walked toward the valley, they all said they didn't remember the mountain roads here."

The situation is just as Hao Ren speculated. The brain monster has used some kind of mental interference or the ability to distort perception to shield the valley. To any thinking creature, this is equivalent to digging out an area from the mountain out of thin air - And the person being disturbed has no idea about it. No one can tell when this interference began, but one fact is very disturbing: from the historical records of the werewolves migrating to the Holy Mountain to this day, this valley has never appeared on their maps.

A knight didn't think about it for a while and muttered casually: "Why did you suddenly discover this valley this time?"

Uruk glanced at him: "Because of the protective crystal - this is the first time someone has walked here while conscious."

While walking, Lily suddenly pointed ahead and shouted: "There is something ahead!"

Hao Ren looked in the direction of Lily's finger and saw half of a stone pillar exposed on the snowy slope next to the mountain road ahead. It looked like the remnants of some kind of man-made object. He stepped forward to take a look and found that it was a dark obelisk, with uneven traces of runes still remaining on the obelisk. An accompanying monk quickly identified the runes: "They are the marks of the pagans."

"This thing has been abandoned for a long time," Yzaks rubbed the dents on the obelisk that were almost completely eroded, "Can you check it?"

The data terminal floated over and took a photo: "There are paint residues inside the dents, which must be from at least three or four thousand years ago."

If even this obelisk fragment is from three to four thousand years ago, then the other ruins in this valley will only be older than this. Ofra looked at the relic in astonishment, and suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things - such as why cultists still appeared here unnoticed despite the constant surveillance of the Glory Sect.

Because they are already here!

"They have a longer history than the Huiyao Sect," Hao Ren clapped his hands and stood up, "Even before the werewolves migrated here, before the Horleta Kingdom was established, and before the Huiyao Sect was established, this valley They have been enveloped by the power of the brain monster. They did not develop under the eyes of the Radiant Sect at all. The situation was exactly the opposite: it was the Radiant Sect and the Horleta Kingdom that developed under the noses of these cultists. "

Ofra had a weird expression. She couldn't accept this fact at all. This was even more unreal than when she first heard that the cultists' lair was hiding in the Beinz area. Even Betsy, a rough-edged mercenary, thinks this is a bit of a fantasy: "The Returning Sect is older than the Glory Sect? Then this world has been theirs for a long time! They have been hiding here for thousands of years and have done nothing. ?”

Hao Ren waved his hand: "I don't know what they have done. We can only rely on data. At least since the werewolves migrated here, the hinterland of the Holy Mountain has been shrouded in spiritual interference."

Vivian touched her chin thoughtfully: "There must be a reason why it has been kept secret for thousands of years and has only come out recently. If they don't have some big plan, it will take thousands of years to slowly reveal it. The brewing thing is that something has changed in recent years that forced them to come out for activities. It should be related to the goddess."

Ofra still frowned, finding it hard to believe this. In any case, the fact that those cultists had been hiding in the Holy Mountain for thousands of years had a huge impact on her worldview. Thousands of years... If this were an ordinary race, how many generations would have passed?

When did the first cultists gather here? Where do they come from? How do they live here? How to pass it on? What kind of contact do they maintain with the outside world? What could allow them to live in seclusion in such a place for thousands of years without revealing it, and still maintain the same fanaticism after being passed down for so many generations? Just mind control by the brain monster? Or there are other reasons...

"Keep moving forward," Ofra shook her head and ordered the knights, "Concentrate and report any hallucinations or psychological fluctuations as soon as possible."

Even though she was holding the protective crystal, she still felt uneasy. Mind control is something so unpredictable and frightening. What's scary about it is not only that it can make people lose their minds, but also that it can make people completely unaware of it. It is difficult for a sleeping person to realize that he is asleep, and a person targeted by mind control is most likely to have been eroded when he feels conscious.

Any good master of mind control knows a trick: the best way to control prey is to make the prey still feel free. And any instructor responsible for teaching psychic defense will also remember to remind his students: When you feel that your enemy is not so powerful, it often means that you have been defeated.

Uruk and the remaining wolf cavalry walked ahead with cautious expressions. This mountain road is no longer familiar to them, and there are unfamiliar forks and landscapes everywhere in front of them. Even though they are walking on the road in their hometown, they still feel as confused as the foreigners behind them. Now their only advantage is to adapt to the terrain and environment here, so that they can have more chances when they are attacked - but God knows if this is of any use.

"Why do I feel that the brain monster here seems to be more powerful than the one in Nasatorn?" Lily came to Hao Ren and muttered, "The brain monster in Nasatorn also needs to subtly interfere for a long time to control others. Why? This one here makes people GG as soon as they enter the mountain?"

"Maybe he set something here," Hao Ren curled his lips, "It has been thousands of years, and it should have dug out an Epang Palace even with its tentacles."

Lily thought carefully and poked Vivian's arm next to her: "Bat, do you know how to get around Afang Palace?"

Then Vivian and Hao Ren ignored the husky who gave up treatment.

At this time, Uruk, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. His ears trembled slightly in the cold wind, his nostrils opened slightly, and a faint smell of fishy smell floated over from nowhere: "Be careful... There is something unclean."

Ofra immediately drew out her long sword, and the blade of the sword was ignited with blazing holy flames. Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wudi also narrowed their eyes at the same time. They activated the special skills of the demon hunters. In the sight of the hunter's spiritual vision, , the snow-capped valley is covered with a strange light blue light and shadow, and all unclean things will be invisible in their sight.

However, the first one to find the enemy was not these combat experts, but the stupid cat who had been running around restlessly since entering the mountain, poking here and there: "Go away" suddenly let out a exclamation, and then Suddenly, a big rock not far away came out from behind: "Meow wow - there is a monster!"

Almost at the same time as "Roll" came back, a weird humanoid creature suddenly rushed out from behind the rock!

It can only be said that he is a "humanoid creature", because this thing has almost completely separated from the human form. This monster was covered in ulcers and was abnormally tall. It was covered with rough wounds and mismatched bodies. It looked like several corpses put together. It also wore a strange-style vest. The vest was pitch black and its surface was Decorated with a large number of black crystal flakes, and constantly bursting out with hissing electric light, it did not look like equipment that could be made by the Horleta people.

After the first "stitch monster" popped out, there was a continuous rustling sound all around, and a large number of such monsters emerged from unknown places, surrounding everyone in the blink of an eye.

Hao Ren didn't know how these monsters escaped everyone's perception, but he didn't have time to think about it at this time. After pulling out his long spear and short cannon from the portable space, he rushed forward immediately: "Kill him first!"
