…
After confirming that there was no sign of demon activity in the camp, a new reconnaissance team was soon formed.
Maisie set off with Agatha and searched the camp. Fifty soldiers of the First Army escorted Soraya, Axia and others who lacked the ability to escape, to find out why the red mist dissipated. .
"We're almost there," Lightning made a gesture to Maisie, "Lower the height."
"Ow!"
Agatha stuck her head out, only to see a rocky beach appearing in front of her little by little. As the little girl said, the thick red fog has disappeared without a trace, revealing the dark brown earth. Unlike the surrounding dark green forest, there is not a single tree in the camp, as if a layer of the ground has been torn off.
This was the first time she had approached the devil's residence.
As a member of the original quest club, Agatha couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Lightning is about to land, repeat, lightning is about to land."
"Pay attention to safety. If you encounter any possible danger, remember to flee immediately." Roland's voice came from the other end of the magic stone.
"Lightning understands."
Maisie folded her wings and dived towards the ground.
The scenery under your feet changes one after another, from the blue sea to the gray and white rugged stone walls, and finally to the moist cinnamon earth. Agatha felt a shock all over her body, and the huge terrifying beast landed firmly on the ground.
"Does the devil live in such a place?" Lightning tutted in amazement, "I didn't think it when I looked down from the sky before, but now it's really weird enough."
Agatha felt the same way.
Dark stone towers stand everywhere in the empty land, like a patchwork of black forests. The black spots seen from the air are basically from these alien buildings - the tall ones are about three or four stories high, and the short ones are just above the top of the head. In terms of density, far more than those frontline camps.
It seems that in addition to storing red mist, these stone towers have other functions.
"It's not clear what happened to them, but it shouldn't be too far from now," she judged.
"Why do you say that?" Lightning asked curiously.
"Because the stone towers have not completely withered," Agatha pointed to the nearest black stone tower, "they are just darkened on the surface, far from being rough and fragile, which is the same place left after the Federation captured the frontline camp. The desolation is completely different, it can only mean that the devil has no plans to retreat, or... made a decision very hastily." She paused, "Let's go to the center of the camp first, which is the tower where the beholder is staying. , maybe find something."
"I hope A-Xia can find out the reason—ah!" Lightning who was walking in front suddenly screamed, and instantly sank to the ground, so frightened that Maisie immediately turned into a dove and rose into the air, and Agatha also summoned Frost to stand in the air. in front of you.
"I'm fine," before the two could react, the little girl flew out of the hole again, slapped the dirt on her body and complained, "Who is digging a hole here and hurting people!"
What a startled kid, Agatha breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to disperse the ice wall, the other party's next words made her heart rise again.
"Hey, there's a devil in here!"
"Really," Maisie landed on top of her head, "but seems to be dead."
"It should be," the little girl patted her chest and said with lingering fears, "otherwise I will be out of luck."
Agatha held the ice spear in her hand and leaned over to take a look. As expected, as Maisie had said, a mad demon stood in the dirt pit with its head drooping. Like sun-dried salted fish.
"I remember Sylvie once said that these devils are usually hidden underground, right?" She further confirmed her judgment, whether they decided to retreat at the time, or encountered some other change, things must have come very suddenly. Otherwise, it is impossible for these devils to exhaust the red mist a little bit underground without waiting for a new order until they die.
"Then let's fly to find it," Lightning muttered, "I don't want to fall into the pit again."
She carried Agatha on her back and walked slowly against the ground. After the three of them went around several rows of stone towers, the sight in front of her suddenly became clear.
An open space appeared in the camp.
"This is..." Agatha sucked in a breath. Judging from the scene at the scene, it was clear that this open space was not deliberately left by the devil - there was a huge hole in the center of the open space, almost the size of the frontier town square. There are many stone tower fragments scattered. The three of them stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down. The cave was so deep that it was difficult to see where it was going.
"It's just like the place where you were found," Lightning said, "Should I go down and investigate first?"
"do not go!"
"No goo!"
Agatha and Maisie stopped at the same time.
"Okay," the little girl sighed, showing a look of regret. Since being punished by His Majesty to do the test questions, her adventurous spirit has restrained a lot, "Then let's take a walk around."
The rest of the camp was similar, and of course the three of them did not gain anything. Maisie found a lot of magic stones in a flat-topped stone tower, and a Chaos Beast that had withered and died. Thinking of finding a narrow entrance to the patio, it was probably the air passage that the devil used to pour in the red mist.
Two days later, the First Army also reached the rocky beach.
Lian found a slit in the mountain, and carved a path on the cliff for one person to walk. Heavy machine guns and other equipment were transported by Maisie, and it took a lot of effort to let fifty soldiers and witches enter. land.
This is also the first contact between the aborigines and aliens.
Even the most determined soldier still felt fear and panic when he saw this incredible scene in front of him. Roland had anticipated this for a long time, and ordered everyone to camp near the entrance of the cliff, so as not to be too tense. As for A-Xia's replay work, she simply did not allow the First Army to participate in the spectator.
According to Agatha's inference, the vanishing time of the camp tower should be a week and a half to a month ago. If the retrospective time exceeds a week, A-Xia's mana consumption will increase rapidly. As for what happened a month ago, it can only be played back once a day. There is no trick, just try it slowly.
Among the large piles of magic stones that Maisie brought back, there were many practical varieties. Although the quality was far inferior to the ones seized from the Heart Dread Demon, it was better than nothing. It can be said that there is only one living devil missing from the mage tower that is about to be completed now.
Finding out the exact time of the incident was a long process. While waiting for the results while developing new gadgets, Roland received a second secret letter from the fjord.
The letter said that Tilly Wimbledon was about to arrive at the Western Shallows.
