Blue Lake Mountain.
This is a mountain next to the lake, several hundred meters high, and the scenery is very good. However, because the location is relatively remote, not many people in the world are in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, so it is rarely visited.
In the night, a gray light passed across the sky, suddenly fell to the ground.
"Bang! Poof!"
There was a soft sound, and the sheepskin boots on Richard's feet made contact with the ground. Richard stood at the foot of Blue Lake Mountain, facing Blue Lake Mountain, and behind him was the huge lake - Blue Lake.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the water splashing around his boots. He slowly raised his feet and saw that the slightly dirty water was gathering in the depression where he stepped.
Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched out his hand and touched the air, feeling the heavy moisture. Turning his head and looking at the Blue Lake shrouded in night, he saw clouds of white mist floating from the center of the lake, wrapping the Blue Lake Mountain like cotton candy.
Turning back and looking up to the top of the mountain, the entire Blue Lake Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, which made it feel a bit unreal.
It's a bit blocking the view... This thought flashed through Richard's mind.
A scarlet light flashed in his eyes, he turned on the night vision function of Dark Vision, and walked towards the top of Blue Lake Mountain.
As he walked, he kept alert and observed the surroundings, looking for the possible presence of Rommel.
After constantly stepping on the grass covered with water drops, the sheepskin boots gradually became a little damp, and the clothes clung to the body due to being contaminated by the moisture in the air. By the time I reached the halfway point of the mountain, my whole body was wrapped in rich moisture.
Richard's eyebrows moved, and the free elements in his body surged out from the source of magic. The surface of his body flashed red, and the surrounding air suddenly became hot. The temperature rose sharply, the water evaporated instantly, the moisture was dissipated, the boots and clothes returned to their original condition, and the whole person became dry again.
However, the expression on his face was not relaxed, but rather solemn.
Along the way, he discovered that Blue Lake Mountain, apart from being a little heavy in humidity, was actually eerily quiet. There was no sound of insects or birds, and it was lifeless, like a dead place.
He had encountered this situation in the Silent Forest. When he entered the forest with Holo and Bobo Bowitch, he found that the entire forest was surprisingly quiet. It later turned out that it was an ancient tree called tinwood. In order to prevent him from discovering clues, all lives were transferred to other places in advance.
But this Blue Lake Mountain is only a few hundred meters high and the size of a palm. Where can it be moved to? Are there any clues that he is afraid of discovering
Compared to these two possibilities, Blue Lake Mountain looks more like it has been cleaned by someone, just like a house that has been completely cleaned. All the garbage and debris have been cleared away, which is why it is so empty and quiet.
It can't be too late... Rommel can't have been here and left... Richard's eyelids twitched.
Looking at the mountain top above, he no longer carefully concealed his mana fluctuations to prevent any dangerous being from detecting him. As soon as he stepped on his feet, his whole body was enveloped in gray light, like a table knife cutting through a cream cake, clinging to the ground to separate the heavy fog, and flew straight to the top of the mountain.
More than ten seconds later.
"Snapped!"
Richard's feet landed on the top of the mountain.
This place is an open space, about the size of a basketball court. Compared with the foot of the mountain and the mountainside, it is no different. It is equally quiet and terrifying, without any life.
this…
Richard frowned and looked around, hoping to find some clues. The next moment his eyes locked onto something and he walked forward.
Walking to a half-human-sized stone, Richard stretched out his hand and touched it. He felt that the whole stone had a warm feeling, as if it had been roasted on a fire. With a little force, bring the stone down to reveal the part underneath. You can see that there are obvious traces of melting there, indicating that this stone has indeed been exposed to high temperatures.
It seems that Rommel has really come and cleaned up the entire Blue Lake Mountain, which is why the current situation has occurred. The melting of the stone should be the work of the other party. It is considered that he arrived too late and did not catch up.
However, the stone has not completely cooled down and is still warm. Considering the thermal conductivity of the stone, it means that the other party has been away for a while, but not for too long, that is, about half an hour.
If there is no delay, maybe he can catch up with the opponent at his next action point... Richard had a guess in his mind.
Without being verbose, reach out and take out the crystal ball issued by the Truth Council, quickly activate it, and deliver the information in a specific way. Ask Canon, the steward of the Pravda branch, where Rommel might go next.
More than a minute later, multiple rays of light flashed inside the crystal ball, and Richard worked hard to analyze the information.
Because so far, the Truth Society branch has only adopted some of his previous suggestions. The crystal ball can only convey relatively rough information, so he has to be accurate many times.
"It's a town, to the east of where we are now, about forty miles away..."
Richard recited slowly, took out the map from the space iron ring and looked at it. His fingers slowly slid on it, and after a while, he stopped at a certain location.
"Benchtown!"
Richard read out the name of the place.
"Wow!"
As soon as the map was collected, without any hesitation, the body rose into the sky and flew towards Bench Town.
…
Bench Town.
This is a town on the Norton River. Because it is close to the Norton River and has enough water to irrigate food, it is rich in food.
There are many farmlands here, and there are many outstanding farmers. They have long adhered to the work and rest time of sunrise and sunset.
"Brush! Bang!"
Richard, who came quickly, fell from the sky and landed outside the town's low wall.
Behind him are large areas of farmland, many of which have been plowed and ready to be planted with crops, and the air is filled with a strong smell of soil. In front of him, separated only by a wall, was the dark town of Bench. It seemed that everyone had fallen asleep, and it was so quiet without any unusual noises that he couldn't help but think of what he had seen in Blue Lake Mountain.
Could it be that he was a little late again... Richard frowned.
He put his hand lightly on the low wall in front of him, stepped on it, and easily crossed the low wall of only one and a half meters, and entered the town. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a pungent smell, like rotten fish mixed with armpit sweat, which made people feel nauseous.
This is!
Richard raised his eyebrows and stepped forward. As soon as he walked into an alley, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw more than 20 corpses lying in the alley in front of him, old and young, male and female, all with their internal organs removed and thrown on the ground randomly.
The bodies of these people were stained with some unknown grass-green viscous liquid. It was visible to the naked eye that these liquids were rapidly corroding the corpses. In just ten seconds, someone's entire face was melted away, and then his entire head, neck, and torso.
The pungent smell in the air became stronger. Richard felt like he had walked into a smelly fish warehouse that had been exposed to the sun for three days and three nights. Moreover, he did not come in alone. There were hundreds of shirtless people who came in with him. A strong man dripping with sweat.
He suddenly realized that the smell he smelled before was probably caused by acid corroding the corpse.
But why is this happening? What happened in Banqi Town
Could it be that Rommel came here to do all this? Or is Rommel here to stop others from doing this
Frowning, Richard stepped over the corpses, walked through the entire alley, and walked towards the center of the town.
Not long after, he came to the square in the center of the town, which looked like a slaughterhouse.
Hundreds of human corpses were scattered in various corners of the square. They were all eviscerated just like the ones we saw just now, and the surface of the body was stained with grass-green acid and was constantly melting.
In addition to human corpses, there were also some other corpses in the square.
The opponent looked a bit like a praying mantis, but also a bit like a fish-man with four limbs. Because most of them were melted by the acid, it was difficult to distinguish the original appearance. I could only confirm that it was definitely not human.
