Because of the precedent of black grass, the group of people were always vigilant on the road, especially the seemingly harmless plants on both sides of the road. However, even so, they encountered two somewhat dangerous attacks, one

It was a group of monsters that looked like hairless mice, and another time it was a group of mutated bees.

Both attacks were very sudden, because no one expected that there would be living things in a pile of dense black grass, so when the attacks occurred, they were all a little confused to deal with them.

However, everyone soon discovered that, apart from becoming stronger and more agile, these mutated animals and insects were similar to ordinary animals in other aspects. They were even far behind in intelligence. They only knew how to attack crazily.

, don’t know how to dodge.

After they calmed down, these monsters were no longer a threat and were soon turned into corpses under the attack of everyone.

When everyone stopped to treat the wounds, Leo checked the corpses of these mutated animals and insects. He found that these corpses showed no signs of being corroded by the black oily human pus. The mutations of these animals and insects were more like his.

From the notes of the wilderness wizard, we can see the results of transformation, but this transformation does not seem to use witchcraft, but another unknown power, a power that may also come from the abyss.

Because when Leo came into contact with the corpses of these animals and insects, both the Chaos Stomach and the Eyeballs of the Abyss Serpent reacted. It is obvious that these animals and insects contain the power of the Abyss.

"This is a new power of the abyss." Just like the world of Velen has various energies, Leo will not simply think that the abyss has only one kind of energy.

However, in Leo's view, the power of the abyss now appearing in Death Valley is obviously much worse than the human pus in the Royal City in terms of corrosiveness and power.

Because people who are infected by human pus will definitely be infected by human pus after being attacked. They don't even need to be injured. They will be infected just by being in an environment full of the power of the abyss for a long time. But now these animals have mutated due to the power of the abyss.

Even if insects and insects caused damage to other people, these injuries did not allow the power of the abyss to invade the injured person's body, and there was no additional corrosive damage. Obviously, this is different from the damage caused by human pus.

"We're here!" After encountering two attacks, the group walked through one or two ruins that looked like outposts, and finally came to the edge of a larger valley.

"That's the town of Death Valley!" Willis said without any emotion and pointed to the town in the middle of the valley.

Following the direction of Willis's finger, everyone saw a very dilapidated ancient town. The buildings in this town were still wooden spire houses from the ancient Inge period. Most of them were dilapidated due to disrepair. There was no one in the town.

, and you couldn’t see how anyone was living, and some living tools were thrown on the ground casually. It felt like everyone in the town had moved away, and the move was in a hurry.

There is a church in the middle of the town. It is the only stone building in the town, which makes it look out of place and extremely prominent among the entire town of wooden houses. The shape of the church is modeled after the design of the King of the Hill's church.

, simple and heavy, but the statue erected on the top of the church is not the statue of the King of the Hill. Instead, it is a statue that is strange to others, but very familiar to Leo, the statue of the Serpent of the Abyss.

To be honest, it looks like an abyss serpent with two rows of big fangs, a pair of red eyes and a pair of long ears. Once you see it, it's hard to forget.

"What is that? An evil god?" Mira, who had good eyesight, also saw the statue of the Abyss Serpent on the top of the church and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know." Willis shook his head in confusion and said, "Before I left, there was no such church. This should have been built after I left."

"Don't you think it's strange?" At this time, a transcendent person said in a deep voice: "According to logic, those people from the Special Bureau should have entered the thick fog with us and arrived at Death Valley. Even if they came in behind us, we would have been injured all the way.

He's not walking fast either. If they wanted to catch up, they should have caught up long ago. Why haven't they seen anyone now?"

Su looked at Leo and said, "Something must have happened to them."

"There's something wrong with that Barkley." Leo suddenly added.

Willis also heard what Leo said and asked with interest: "What's wrong with Barkley?"

However, Leo did not explain, because this was just a guess on his part. He speculated that Buckley had been infected by the power of the abyss and became a monster similar to the living dead. He even became a minion of the abyss.

It is not difficult to find the fall of the royal city in the records. In addition to its own corruption, the secret work of the abyss' minions is also one of the main factors.

The moment he saw the town, he immediately thought of the Royal City, and the church of the Abyss Serpent in the center of the town undoubtedly made Leo more confident in his guess.

"What should we do next?" The weird atmosphere around him made a transcendent very reluctant to stay here anymore. He wanted to complete the task and leave here as soon as possible, so he asked Su in a urging manner.

"It's easy to find Earl Drake's graveyard and get the Poseidon artifact." Su responded casually, then took out a compass-like thing from his pocket, and played with it in his hand.

I saw that this compass was very strange. It was made of the bones of some kind of creature. The surface was engraved with runes containing magical power. There was a stone pointer on the compass. It seemed like there was a drop of blood on it, but this drop

The blood had dried for a long time and penetrated deep into the cracks in the stone.

"This is the finding compass of the Jaka tribe. They are actually willing to give this thing to you. How much did it cost you?" Mira recognized the origin of this compass at a glance and said in great surprise.

"Three cartloads of grain." Su said again and again while fiddling with the compass in his hand.

In ordinary times, three wagons of grain is nothing. At most, it is just a month's sales for an ordinary grain merchant. But in the wilderness of Moissan Continent during this period, the value of these three wagons of grain is almost equivalent to gold.

, because during this period, an unprecedented dry season suddenly appeared in the wilderness, food was greatly reduced, and famine was spreading. This matter was even repeatedly reported by newspapers of all sizes in the Kingdom of England.

"You are taking advantage of the fire to rob someone." Mira looked at Su displeased. Although she had left the wasteland tribe, she was from the tribe after all. Naturally, she did not want to see the tribe in the wasteland being bullied like this.

"Wrong, I didn't force them." Su said flatly, "They took the initiative to exchange."

Mira didn't say anything more.

As Su fiddled with the compass, bursts of light began to bloom, and the pointer located in the center of the compass also floated under the light, spinning rapidly, and the dark red blood on the tip of the pointer also became brighter at the same time.

When the compass was working, Leo's eyes also fell on the compass, because he felt a trace of life on the compass, or more accurately on the pointer, that belonged to higher-level Omega-level creatures.

Mira saw Leo's gaze and doubts in his eyes, and explained: "This compass is a strange object made by the shaman of the Jaka tribe. It is said that it is made of the bones of the blood descendants of the God of the Wilderness, and the blood on it is

It is the blood of the wild god."

"God of the Wilderness?" Leo heard this unfamiliar name and couldn't help but look at Mira curiously, waiting for her to explain further.

Mira explained: "The God of the Wilderness is just a tribal god within a very small area. It is said that his true form is a leopard, so He can also give believers the ability to track prey. However, since the disappearance of the Lord of Nature, the God of the Wilderness has also

Disappeared, the Jaka Tribe is the last tribe that believes in the God of the Wilderness, but now it seems that the Jaka Tribe has also given up its belief in the God of the Wilderness, otherwise it would be impossible to take out the tribal artifacts as trade items."

Just as he was speaking, the rapidly rotating pointer on the compass suddenly stopped. The bloody end of the pointer pointed at the church of the abyss serpent. Then, a black air suddenly surged out of the compass and tore it apart.

The light of the compass, the compass and the pointer also shattered into pieces at the same time and scattered in Su's hands.

"This..." Looking at the fragments in her hand, Su was stunned. She had used this compass before, and everything went smoothly. She even found Willis because of this compass, but now the compass was shattered in her hands.

, leaving her unable to react for a while.

"When you held the compass just now, what did you want the compass to find?" Leo asked Su in a deep voice.

"Where else can we find Earl Drake?" A very useful rare item was destroyed in her hands, which made Su a little angry, so when she answered, her tone became a little harsh.

"You should have found it." Leo said, pointing to the church, and said: "I'm afraid this Earl Drake is a big trouble."

Su quickly realized what Leo meant and confirmed: "Do you mean that Earl Drake did not die, but was infected by the abyss?"

"No, Earl Drake must be dead. The investigation of the British royal family will not go wrong on this point." Leo shook his head and said: "However, death does not mean that everything is over. Sometimes death just means

It's the beginning of another kind of life." As he spoke, he thought of the living dead and added: "Let's call that state life!"

"In that case, let's go!" Su said in a deep voice.

But Mira suddenly said at this time: "I won't go with you."

"What do you mean?" Su frowned and stared at Mira with great dissatisfaction.

Mira smiled and said: "Don't forget, your purpose and mine were different from the beginning. I didn't come here for some Poseidon artifact. Have you forgotten?"

"Then how do we leave after we find the Poseidon artifact?" Su had no intention of trying to persuade Mira to stay. He just asked questions related to himself.

"Wait for me at the ruins before." Willis said in a deep voice.

"But what if something happens to you?" asked a transcendent person.

Willis explained: "Then you just need to wait here for the next full moon night, and a passage will automatically appear then."

After getting the answer he wanted, Su did not stop Mira and the two from leaving. After watching the two of them walk towards a hill not far away from another road, he turned around and walked towards the town ahead.

Su was not as dissatisfied with Mira's lack of companionship as it seemed on the surface. In her opinion, although Mira was powerful enough and might even have some kind of close connection with the Moon God, and could use the power of some gods, she would not be able to use the power of some gods after death.

In the Valley, it is obvious how much help the god of the Velen world can provide to Mira is still unknown, so if something really happens, Mira will become a drag, and it would be better to be separated.

What she was paying attention to now was Leo's behavior. Although she didn't know how much Leo knew about what was happening in Death Valley, her intuition told her that the hope of finding the Poseidon Scepter might lie with Leo.

Leo had no interest in paying attention to what happened between Su and Mira. He had been paying attention to the town since the compass shattered just now, because the black air that caused the compass to shatter just now did not disappear, but quickly

of people poured back into the town.

After this black energy spread in the town, Leo sensed something in the town waking up through the eyeballs of the Abyss Serpent. This thing contained a very huge power of the abyss, which made him involuntarily think of

Those mutated abyss monsters I saw in the royal city.

The group of people soon arrived outside the town, and everyone stopped at Su's signal.

Then Su winked at an extraordinary person, and the extraordinary person squatted down and put his hand on the ground under his feet. Then his hand vibrated at an extraordinary speed. The shock wave generated by the vibration also transmitted

When it reaches the ground, it is passed along the ground to the surroundings.

Leo was a little surprised when he saw the ability used by this extraordinary person, because the ability used by this person was somewhat similar to the shock detector he used back then. This detector was designed to judge the surroundings by generating shock waves and collecting feedback data.

Regarding objects, the detection range can cover an area within ten miles at the longest, which also allows ordinary people to obtain abilities similar to the mental network.

The information quickly fed back by the shock wave allowed the transcendent to make a judgment. He stood up and said: "No danger was found."

"In this case, let's..." Su seemed to trust the judgment made by this extraordinary person and was about to move on.

But at this time, Leo reached out to interrupt her, and then he took out a grenade made of special ammunition from his pocket, but actually from the storage space, pulled off the safety, and threw it into the town.

Inside.

As the grenade landed, a huge sound broke the surrounding tranquility. The power of the grenade explosion instantly opened a huge hole in the ground, and it was not just the dust on the ground that flew up under the impact of the blast.
