Although Benjamin had all kinds of doubts in his heart, but there was so much movement now, he was afraid that something would be attracted to him again. Therefore, after they disposed of the bear carcass, they quickly left the area.
The bear carcass was too huge, and they had never encountered a monster of this size before. So they had to collect some blood and fur, and the rest was difficult to pull out, so Benjamin had no choice but to give up and throw them there.
And on the way to transfer.
"Where did this crystal ball come from?"
Wallis's voice was also helpless: "Teacher, I've told you. Others donated it to us, and they don't know what it is."
When Benjamin heard this, he could only hold the crystal ball and take a deep breath.
Until now, he still couldn't quite understand how this thing worked, but the only thing he knew clearly was that it was extremely destructive. The fur and flesh of the giant bear are very hard - they had already felt it when handling the corpse, but facing this small crystal ball, it was as fragile as tofu.
What exactly is at work? Pure physical impact, or is it accompanied by some abnormal elemental effects
He had also observed the small hole in the chest of the giant bear. If anything, it was like a bullet piercing the chest. The powerful impact directly penetrated the lungs and heart. It must be said that Benjamin's luck report, this Record the accuracy of throwing the medicine ball and get full points.
Therefore... Just observing the wound, it should be a purely physical impact. But Benjamin felt that something was not right.
He couldn't figure it out.
"Teacher, um... please stop holding this crystal ball all the time." Suddenly, Wallis came up to him again and said tremblingly, "Everyone is a little scared when they see you holding this thing, for fear that you might accidentally do it. Just threw it out again."
Benjamin came back to his senses, turned to look at the trembling mages behind him, and laughed dumbly.
Well, this thing is indeed quite dangerous.
In desperation, he could only put the crystal ball into a special box, which was lined with thick cotton. Otherwise, the mages under him were worried about neurasthenia due to bumps and bumps along the way.
The research was put aside for the time being, and it was time for them to consider the situation of this mountain range.
They had only walked in for a few hours and were still on the outskirts of the mountains, but they had already encountered such a level of monsters. Benjamin couldn't help but hesitate, whether they should continue to go deeper.
It's not that I'm afraid something will happen, but if the Kandela Mountains are so dangerous, the chance of a mage hiding here will be greatly reduced.
If there is no mage, what else is Benjamin looking for here
"Teacher, look there!"
Just as he was thinking this, Frank suddenly pointed at a few small dirt bags in the bushes ahead and shouted.
Benjamin also looked over there.
On the side of the sloping and winding mountain road, those protrusions looked extremely conspicuous, as if they had been made recently. There is a bouquet of plucked wild flowers lying next to the soil bag. It has completely withered now. I don’t know how long it has been there.
Suddenly, Benjamin's heart moved.
He didn't go over to dig up the earth bag, but sensed it using the water element. I saw several bones buried under the mounds of earth, along with some broken pieces of cloth, which may have been the clothes of the deceased.
This is a tomb.
Judging from the freshness of the soil, this is still a new grave, and it may have been buried in the past few months.
... Could it be a mage hiding in the mountains
Benjamin wasn't sure either. However, as soon as he hesitated because of these things, clues appeared in front of him, as if there was something in the dark that wanted him to go deep into this mountain range.
There is no doubt that these new graves prove that someone has passed by in the mountains, and they are civilized humans who can bury people and lay flowers. The probability of being a mage is very high. Even if he wasn't a mage, he might be an expert living in seclusion in the mountains.
They could go over and inquire about it.
After thinking about it, Benjamin asked the system to pay attention to the surrounding footsteps, and they continued to move forward. Soon, the system found some clues. There were strips of cloth scraped from tree branches, traces of camping, domestic garbage thrown in the grass, and even some traces of fighting and potholes made by magic... There was no doubt that someone had passed through this area.
And these clues come together and form a route that extends deep into the mountains.
Benjamin finally came to the conclusion in his mind.
After leaving the mainstream vision of Carites, some mages did enter the Kandra Mountains, and there may be a lot of them. They fought with monsters along the way, and some people died, but more people still entered the depths of the mountains.
How can I put it...these people's determination to hide from the world and live in seclusion is really firm!
Thinking of this, Benjamin no longer hesitated. What is there to fear about Warcraft? He did not turn back halfway with his men, but followed these traces and searched all the way there.
In the next few days, they encountered five or six waves of attacks from monsters. However, they had never seen anything like the giant bear before. Benjamin couldn't help but wonder if the giant bear was the Warcraft Lord in this area. Unless he entered a new area, he would not encounter a particularly powerful guy again.
Benjamin was not worried about Warcraft. With the crystal ball here, it would be a good thing to practice with a powerful Warcraft.
In this way, a few days later, they gradually entered the Kandela Mountains.
"The clues disappear at the front."
The system suddenly made a sound and reminded.
When Benjamin heard this, he also stopped and moved towards the surroundings. There was nothing special about the surrounding environment, and there were not many magical beasts, but just as the system said, the traces of walking they had found along the way suddenly disappeared.
Where did those mages go
It was already approaching night, so Benjamin decided to set up camp here first and look for clues nearby before setting off tomorrow.
So, a team of hundreds of mages stopped here. Benjamin walked alone towards the place where the traces disappeared.
It was a huge rock, and there were some traces of a campfire on the ground beside the rock. The traces look very faded and were left at least a month ago.
Benjamin walked to the edge of the rock and looked around.
The forest was very quiet, the breeze was blowing and rustling, and there were almost no signs of monster activity. The nearby elements are particularly active. It seems that this is a special elemental active zone.
Suddenly, he found a strange fragment at his feet.
"What is this?" He picked up the pieces.
The off-white fragments were less than the size of a fingernail, and the edges were very sharp, as if they had been peeled off from something. Benjamin looked at it for a while, and suddenly he felt that this thing looked a bit like the bones of some creature.
Bone fragments…
Was there a fight here
Benjamin had a bad premonition. The traces disappeared here. Don't tell him that it was because those mages were wiped out at this place.
As for the fact that there are no traces of battle... If the attacking monsters have special methods, or are some weird illusion monsters, it is not impossible for the mages to be unprepared and be suddenly attacked.
Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly became a little worried.
"Everything I see now is real, not an illusion, right?" he asked in his mind.
"It's true." The system replied nonchalantly, "But... who knows? If something is so powerful that it deceives me, I can't confirm it."
"Then activate the void state again."
Last time in that abyss valley, he fell into a dangerous hallucination. Finally, he activated the void and came out of the hallucination. In his opinion, the state of nothingness may be related to some other world or elemental plane, and it cannot be deceived by mere illusions.
The system said nothing and activated nothingness for a second. After the nothingness, everything remained the same, nothing changed, and Benjamin confirmed that he was not in a hallucination.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was overthinking it... In fact, the Kandela Mountains were not that dangerous, so he shouldn't scare himself.
After thinking about it, Benjamin put away the bone fragments, raised his head again, and looked around.
However, as soon as he raised his head, Benjamin saw a pale and pale face in the dim forest not far ahead.
