Chapter 194 Death Under the Peony Flower

After collecting those ancient magic weapons, the group wanted to go deeper, but found that the road ahead had been blocked.

Come to think of it, if they could get out, these deadpools would have left long ago.

It is simply worthless for them to die here.

Looking at the solid stone wall, Bane sighed helplessly.

"It seems that the tower spirit only wants us to go here. Even if we change the road, it should change the destination to here."

Carl: "I really don't know what is buried in the central area that can make the tower spirit protect it so much."

As he said, he knocked on the stone wall.

Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to try to dig.

The situation in the central area is different from that in the outer area. The space here has been specially treated, just like the interior of the Mage Tower.

The stone wall may be just a simple stone wall, but there may be a space rift behind the stone wall.

This thing is basically equivalent to a random star portal. If it is dug out, Carl and his team may have to drift in another world again.

There are many giant ruins that can be explored, so it is not worth taking such a risk to explore what is in this ruin.

"Okay, let's go back the same way. I hope everything is fine with the power armor. It would be bad if someone was killed."

Carrying the dimensional bag, the group returned to the heavy truck.

It seems that no one has discovered this place yet, and the surroundings are no different from when they left.

After getting back in the car, still with the previous configuration, Carl and Bain drove out of the ruins.

This road is almost unobstructed. Even if they meet other adventurers, they will only give way after a little panic.

After leaving the ruins, the group of adventurers at the door had left. Carl and his group did not stay for long and continued to move towards the deep area of ​​Xen'drik.

The road meandered forward, and I don't know when the surrounding scenery suddenly changed again.

What surprised Carl was that he had been to this place before.

"Isn't this the place where I encountered the drow and spider elves last time?"

To be honest, Carl felt it was a coincidence to be able to come to this place again at this time.

After stepping on the accelerator, the heavy truck went downhill and came to the place where the drow had driven the impartment before.

"My F..."

On the open ground, dried corpses were lying on the ground in all directions.

Their shriveled bodies looked like they had been left in the desert to dry for several months.

But the strange thing was that these mummies still had some kind of obscene smile on their faces.

"Is this the Hehuan Sect attacking?"

Looking at this scene, Carl's first thought was that a witch from the Hehuan Sect had invaded the Eberron world.

After all, there seemed to be no similar spells or abilities in Eberron that could squeeze men into this state.

Of course, if this was the technology leaked by the mutant demons, it didn't seem to be too shocking.

After all, they could even create symbionts, and it didn't seem to be very difficult to come up with a spell to replenish yin and yang.

"Do you want to go down and take a look?"

Bain, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, was also shocked after seeing this scene.

Although he had not really experienced the scene at that time, he heard Carl talk about the conflict with the drow when they chatted a few days ago.

The mummies in front of him were obviously the male adventurers who stayed here. They did not live a life of enjoyment three or five times a day, but instead became victims of some kind of magic.

"I wonder what their companions and ex-girlfriends who parted ways with them would think when they knew about their situation."

From a male standpoint, Carl could not say that these people made the wrong choice at the time. Confucius said that "food and sex are human nature."

It is human nature to pursue food and beauty.

However, these people obviously forgot that the gift of fate had already been secretly marked with a price.

Look, now this scene of corpses everywhere is the result of their paying the price.

After a few seconds of silence for these romantic ghosts, Carl was about to start the car and move forward, but the constant soil shaping at the bottom of the truck made part of the soil on the surface roll, revealing a stone slab underneath.

There were unknown patterns engraved on the stone slab. Just by looking at it, Carl felt that his spiritual power became active.

"What is that?"

Things that can trigger psychic induction are still quite rare in the main plane. Apart from the previous spiritual absorption text, this is the first time that Carl has been evoked by an external object.

Subconsciously, Carl stepped on the brake, opened the door and jumped out.

The truck's engine stalling also attracted the attention of Hope and the other two.

Seeing that the car had not restarted for a long time, they also walked out of the back car.

"Carl, what happened?"

However, as soon as they appeared, Ying and Xie's minds were attracted by the patterns on the ground.

The light of spiritual energy shone from them, and their breathing became more and more rapid.

"Cover their eyes with cloth strips!"

At this moment, Carl spoke.

By the way, he also threw a piece of black cloth into Hope's hands.

Hearing this, Hope immediately tore the black cloth according to Carl's instructions, covering Ying and Xie's eyes.

A moment later, the two seemed to wake up from a dream and tried to reach out and take off the black cloth in front of them.

"Don't pick them yet. You just saw the patterns on the ground and they made you crazy. Keep it like this for now."

While admonishing the two, Hope reached out and held them, so that Shadow and Scorpion could feel more secure.

In the middle of the open space, Carl was still using a micro-construct to clean the dirt on the ground, so that more patterns could be exposed.

Thanks to the help of the intelligence attribute, although Carl's psychic power would become active when he saw the pattern, he was not like Shadow and Scorpion who could not control himself.

"This pattern looks like it was just etched not long ago. The overall pattern is a bit similar to the spirit absorption text, but it is obviously not the same thing, just like... just like the connection between the giant rune and the magic pattern."

Quickly recording the patterns on the ground in his mind, Carl felt dizzy and many beautiful thoughts flashed through his mind from time to time.

But he still forced himself to remember them, and then recorded a copy with a video device.

Carl did not let everyone get on the car until he confirmed that there was no omission.

"Bain, you should be able to drive now. Let's go back to the base first. Today's exploration ends here."

Covering his forehead, Carl just sat in the co-pilot seat and closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

Bain quickly started the car and backed up, then turned the car around and drove away from the center of Xen'drick.

After an unknown amount of time, Carl woke up slowly.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened.

The headlights of the truck had automatically lit up, and the group was still circling the adventure area of ​​Xen'drick.

This is a common thing, and it is also the most unfriendly place for those rookies.

Many newcomers originally wanted to explore and then go back, but in the end they were dragged into a tug-of-war.

It is said that the most unlucky newcomer wandered around the outer area for three days before returning to Storm Bay.

"Carl? Are you awake? I'm afraid it will take some time for us to return to the base. Let's eat something first."

Shaking his head, a faint psychic light escaped from Carl's eyes as he kept blinking.

He felt that his psychic power had become stronger than ever before.

However, this feeling was mainly an illusion caused by the sudden increase of psychic power.

As Carl's mind started to work again, psychic power penetrated his body and covered the area with a radius of dozens of meters around him.

Ying and Xie, who were originally sitting cross-legged in the carriage, immediately felt the psychic power from Carl and suddenly woke up from their meditation.

"It seems that Carl has woken up."

Looking at the front of the car, Ying was silent for a moment and comforted Hope, who was worried about Carl's situation.

Hope actually felt a strange and familiar feeling, but after hearing Ying's words, her face did become much better.

"I didn't expect that some patterns would actually take away three people in our team."

Squeezing out a smile, Hope made a rare joke.

Ying and Xie smiled awkwardly.

Compared with Carl, their condition was actually not much better.

What made them even more difficult to say was that while the psychic power was surging, their lust was also uncontrollably agitated.

If the two of them were not a little reserved, they might have masturbated in the car.

On the way, Scorpion wanted to ask Bane in front to stop the car several times, and then drag Bane to the nearby woods to solve the problem.

But Ying didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to speak rashly.

Suddenly, the truck stopped.

Ying's heart skipped a beat, but some expectations emerged in her heart.

She lifted the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead, and some brighter "blushes" appeared on her lavender skin like Black Lily in Overwatch.

However, after a while, the car started again.

While feeling relieved, Ying felt a little disappointed.

In the cab, Carl and Bane, who had changed seats, sat down.

Carl took control of the steering wheel and drove the truck to his favorite location.

When the adventure group did not jump back to Storm Bay within a certain number of times, the person responsible for guiding the direction would be replaced by other characters with higher "perception".

This custom has no reason, but because most lost adventure groups use this method to get out of the adventure zone, this method is very popular among adventurers.

I don’t know if this method is really true. After jumping twice again, the group actually returned to Storm Bay.

Not only that, they also returned from the cave on the west side.

An adventure group walking in front of them was startled by the sudden appearance of the huge mechanical creation.

If Carl hadn’t reacted quickly, several people might have been rolled under the wheels.

“Huh~, we’re finally back.”

Looking at the familiar scene, Carl and Bain breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the cave, the group immediately drove towards the direction of the underground ruins.

When they finally arrived at their destination, the moonlight had already spread all over the earth.

Parking the truck at the entrance of the underground ruins, the five people took out their off-road motorcycles and returned to the base. Carl activated his ability and summoned the front and the carriage to the second floor of the base respectively.
