Chapter 380: Triggering defense mechanism(1/2)
White feathers.
After inspecting it for a while, Kane threw the feather back to the ground.
In his mind, he recalled the white bird-man explorer that he had met once before.
Could it be that person?
After throwing away the feather, Kane looked at the armored lion's wounds.
Judging from the extent of the wounds, the lion had been dead for less than two hours.
So many creatures died.
The mechanism in this dungeon should be activated.
"Did you hear any movement from this direction just now?" Kane asked.
"Didn't hear it."
"We didn't seem to hear it just now."
After hearing everyone's answers, Kane nodded. Judging from the death times of these dead creatures, the explorers who killed them should not be too far away.
If the fog's defense mechanism is activated, there should be no movement. This probably means that the dungeon's defense mechanism has not been activated yet.
Forget it, I can't think of anything important here.
Kane and his group packed up and continued heading towards their destination.
"There are too many dead. Is there anything wrong with those explorers?" Claire said with a frown as she looked at the number of corpses that continued to increase along the way.
Kane and the others were also silent, but more vigilant. They could not give a decent answer.
In addition to the increase in the number of corpses around, the smell of blood is also getting stronger and stronger.
Kane stopped suddenly.
His Shenwu Vision was constantly giving him early warnings.
Looking at Kane who suddenly stopped, Claire's equipment flashed, and she changed into a golden lion suit. The weapon in her hand also turned into a flying wing blade.
Not only Claire, but also Rombe and others were wary of each other.
After a moment of confusion, Fu Na instantly understood the current situation. After all, she was a silver explorer who had experienced hundreds of battles.
He entered a state of alert with his teammates.
The road ahead is constantly stinging Kane's eyes.
"Let's exit this area first." Kane didn't explain too much, but started to return to the original route with his teammates.
At a location a few kilometers away, a group of explorers were hunting the surrounding creatures, regardless of whether they were hostile or not.
An earless race whose eyes were covered with black cloth suddenly said: "No, the Mist Team has returned."
"What's going on?" A scarred-faced man with scales all over his body next to him asked immediately after hearing this.
"I don't know what happened, but they suddenly turned back."
Next to him, a birdman with white feathers all over his body narrowed his eyes slightly and trimmed his feathers with his sharp claws.
"As expected, we cannot underestimate them. We may have learned through some means that we are ambushing him or have sensed danger."
"What should we do now?"
"Have all the spells been cast?"
"This has been done a long time ago."
After listening to the strong man's answer, the white birdman quickly said to the explorers who were hunting on the side: "Zuke, come here quickly."
A figure in black robes turned into white mist and appeared in front of the white birdman.
"Is there a problem?"
"Send me around the Mist Team."
"no problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure wrapped in black robe turned into white mist, enveloping the white birdman together, and quickly floated in the direction of Kane and the others. On the way, he heard the words of the white birdman coming over.
"Activate the spell."
After hearing the words, the strong man took out a bright red object from the space equipment, which was still beating slightly like a heart.
Then he pinched it hard, and his beating heart instantly turned into ashes.
Countless creatures that escaped from being hunted by these explorers had more or less red marks on their bodies. When their hearts were broken, these marks exploded.
The cheetah is licking its wounds among the trees, the wild boar is sleeping soundly in the grass, and the hares on the grassland are wary of chewing the grass around them.
There are red marks on hidden places on their bodies, and these marks quickly infect their bodies. These animals are still immersed in their own world.
Silently, turned into withered bones.
Such things are happening in a large area around.
The smell of blood rose into the sky.
Kane and the others were returning the same way when they smelled the sudden smell of blood around them. The smell of blood was very fresh, as if fresh blood had just arrived at their feet.
Kane's divine vision began to warn crazily, like an air defense siren sounding in Kane's mind.
"Ooooooo!"
An earth-shattering wolf howl came from a distance, and overwhelming pressure swept across.
All explorers within this range feel as if they have entered the territory of some ferocious beast, with chests so tight that they cannot breathe.
Kane and the others had to stop and watch their surroundings.
"There are too many dead creatures. Has the dungeon's defense mechanism started to activate?" Claire said.
Long Bei next to him asked: "But these creatures are not hunted by us, will we also be affected?"
"No one knows these things now. If we become the target of that gold-level beast later, remember to run away and don't confront him head-on."
After hearing what their captains had said, everyone nodded immediately.
To be on the safe side, Kane turned to Li Lulu next to him and said, "Put the mark on me."
After hearing Kane's words, Lilu Lu immediately waved her staff, and a colorful star mark appeared on the back of Kane's hand.
Claire next to her saw this situation and immediately asked: "What are you going to do?"
Kane did not answer his words, but shouted not far ahead: "There is someone, be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared not far away, a man in black robes and a bird-man with white feathers.
"Captain Kane, long time no see."
"It's you."
Sure enough, it was the white birdman who saw the figure in black robes next to him.
Let’s look at the race of the white birdman.
"Are you from the Black Mist?" Kane asked after all the clues in his mind were connected.
Kane's sudden words made the white birdman look a little stunned.
"How perceptive, Captain Kane."
"But let's die here."
After saying that, the birdman stared straight at Kane, and then a dagger appeared in his hand and stabbed directly into his chest.
What's the meaning?
Kane and the others, who were on alert, looked at this scene with confusion.
It was not a show, the white birdman's aura visible to the naked eye was getting weaker and weaker, and blood spurted out from his wounds.
Then, the white birdman's life breath was completely cut off.
As the birdman died, some kind of huge creature that was running this way also stopped.
After hearing the noise stop, Kane and the others understood that it was probably this white birdman who was killing people, and that he had become the target of the fog's counter-mechanism.
Although he didn't know what was going on in this situation, Kane's prediction of danger still didn't stop, so he was preparing to leave immediately with his teammates.
There was a tingling sensation on my wrist again. When I looked down, I saw a circle of blood-red lines on my wrist.
The figure in the black robe in front dragged the birdman's body away from the place and disappeared.
The huge creature that originally stopped rushed towards Kane again.
"Oops, I'm a target."
With the movement and the sudden appearance of a red mark on his wrist, Kane knew he had been tricked.
Although he could not understand all the information, the situation just now told Kane that the white birdman had grafted the target of the countermeasure mechanism onto Kane at the cost of his own life in some way.
"Here we come." Metzke suddenly shouted.
