The valley after passing through the pine forest had no name. On this inaccessible snowfield, the range of human activities was greatly compressed, and the most experienced hunters dared to leave a hut in the pine forest. Never A bold and adventurous adventurer will go through the entire jungle dominated by wolves and brown bears, and then give a name to a dead valley-so Hao Ren simply called this valley Death Valley.
The pine forest bordering the valley is a diseased wood forest. The dry and twisted plants seem to remind the reckless adventurers not to approach this place easily, but after crossing the diseased wood forest, you can see an open valley. The valley itself is not large in size. It is roughly triangular. Two low and bare stone mountains stand on both sides of the valley and gradually close together in the distance, making the valley form a terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides. Therefore, crossing the pine forest is The only shortcut to the valley. The small valley is lifeless and there is no vegetation distribution. The bare landforms extend from the stone mountains on both sides to the valley below, and there is only a lot of snow in the eyes, and the black that occasionally protrudes from the snow. Stones and debris of trunks that have withered and died for many years: in this icy environment, the dead trees are also preserved longer than other places.
Hao Ren stood on the edge of the diseased woods and looked up, trying to find any possible identifier in the bare valley, but he saw nothing but a dead ground.
Will Vivian sleep in this isolated death place?
Combined with the news of the wolves and the abnormal ecological environment of this place, this possibility is indeed quite high.
"Hiss--" Husky girl inhaled beside Hao Ren, with a little nervousness on her face, "There is a feeling that a big adventure is about to start, hey, I haven't done such a thing since I grew up ... Huh ... a little nervous, a little nervous ... "
It seems that when she is weak, she is strong, and when she is strong, she has had a temperament since half a century ago.
"There should be an energy field in the valley that can continue to reduce vitality, or something like a curse ... It does n’t matter if you do n’t understand, you can just relax, anyway," Hao Ren looked at the huskies beside him At a glance, "That thing is terrible for ordinary animals, but it has no effect on you and me, especially you ... you have a strong vitality."
"Is it?" Lily glanced at Hao Ren with amazement, "You guys are amazing! You know so many things!"
"That is, I know much," Hao Ren smiled and walked forward, "Come with me, you pay attention to the smells around you."
The snow makes a crunching sound under his feet. Occasionally stepping on a tree branch under the snow will send a crackling sound, but in addition to the footsteps and his own breathing sounds, in the big valley There was almost no sound. In this clear and windless weather, there was even a hint of wind. Hao Ren walked deep and shallow in the valley, feeling as if he was walking in a still white world, everything between heaven and earth became vast and empty.
The Lily, who was the first to take this big adventure, followed his face nervously behind him. This very young "Werewolf girl" raised her ears and listened to all the slight movements around her, while still shouting her nose , Honestly acting as a search dog.
Hao Ren stopped. There was a skeleton lying in front of him. This skeleton should belong to a large herbivore. Most of it was covered with snow. The exposed parts could see the fragile and decaying bones. In this extremely cold place lacking scavengers, it may take many years for a corpse to become such a "clean" bone. How long has this victim been lying here? Half a century?
Hao Ren bent down to check the condition of the skeleton, trying to restore its cause of death. Lily whispered next to it: "Don't the animals dare to enter this valley, how can this still die?"
"It's normal to dare not go in, but it's always a bit of an accident for so many years?" Hao Ren whispered, "Maybe it was chased by some enemy family who chased in a panic, or was hungry and wanted to come in and find food , Or simply brainstorming-anyway, as soon as you enter the valley, you will get lost, and then you will never be able to get out again. "
"How did this die?" Lily watched curiously as Hao Ren inspected the body there, and felt that the workmanship was quite professional: the girl's identification of big bones was never good or bad. Completely blind.
Hao Ren stood up: "There are many black marks of corruption on the bones, which look like poisoning, and there are some distortions caused by high temperature ... I suspect it is blood boiling. Here is this, worn on the neck Can protect you. "
As he speaks, he takes a living collar from his portable space and passes it on. Although the formal function is to help users survive in extreme environments such as space, it also has basic protection functions and lacks confrontation. Experience is very useful for the old version of Lily.
Lily took the collar and put it around his neck under the guidance of Hao Ren. It feels quite appropriate: "You have so many weird funny things ... What is the blood boiling phenomenon?"
"Blood is boiling, my friend is an expert who is good at manipulating blood. She may unconsciously release power when she is sleeping, so the creatures around her sleeping place may somehow be boiling blood and die. But you do n’t have to be afraid, The collar I gave you can resist blood boiling. "
Lily was frightened by the first half of Hao Ren's first sentence with cold sweat, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she calmed down a little, and then she suddenly sniffed her nose and twisted her face to look in a certain direction.
Hao Ren immediately noticed this: "What's wrong?"
"Smell ... I seem to smell that smell," Lily pointed deep into the valley, "it just floated from that place."
"Hurry up and have a look! Maybe it is!"
Lily's good nose really lived up to expectations, and found the clue so smoothly. Hao Ren followed her guide and quickly found a recessed entrance at the rock wall of the valley: the smell came from this place .
Hao Ren looked around the surrounding environment and confirmed that the sunken hole in front of him was a naturally formed rock cave. It is actually quite secret. Not only is the surrounding area covered by huge rocks, but the angle is also hidden in the shadow formed by the staggered mountains. If Without Lily, he probably had to go around the whole mountain to see this hole.
Hao Ren stood at the entrance and looked inwards. There was only a black in the cave, and a faint airflow was blowing out of the cave. The temperature seemed to be a little lower than the icy snow outside, so he couldn't help but tremble. .
"Your friend sleeps in this place Ah?" Lily whispered while looking up inside, "Wow-the conditions are really hard, I do n’t choose a good place to sleep, I ’m a village dog Nests are better than here. "
"She has always had tough conditions." Hao Ren is also the first time he has faced the sleeping place of Vivian in person. His curiosity about this is not much weaker than that of the Husky girl, so he took this sentence and walked towards the cave. Go, and Lily hesitated in the back for two or three seconds, and finally curiosity overcome the tension, and followed.
The section just entered the cave is extremely narrow. Hao Ren needs to lean sideways to enter it reluctantly, but after a few meters deep, it quickly opens up, and finally turns into a cave more than ten meters wide. Then ... there is no way.
Hao Ren blinked and quickly adapted to the dark environment. He saw the cave open and flat, but he could not see any traces of artificial axe chiseling. Icicles hung on the wall of the cave for some years, from The snowflakes blowing in the entrance form a very slippery ice surface in the first half of the cave. In addition, there are no forks and entrances here, and the whole cave is clear at a glance.
"Hello-is anyone!"
When Hao Ren was still seriously observing the environment, Lily suddenly shouted loudly, and the rash Huskie shouted while looking around: "Wake up-wake up! Do not-sleep-la! Your friend Let's wake you up !! Don't-sleep ... let's say Hao Ren what is your friend's name Ah? "
The Hao Ren was taken aback by the other party ’s sudden movement, and quickly waved his hand: "Her name is Vivian-do n’t call it that way! I said" sleeping "is not the same as you understand sleeping! You call it that way She can't wake up! "
"Oh, how did she sleep?" Lily said while shaking her nose. "In the end, where did she sleep, Ah?, how can I smell the smell and see no one?"
"Perhaps this is how she prevents herself from being disturbed ..." Hao Ren said, frowning and watching carefully, while quickly reasoning in her heart:
Depending on the situation, Vivian has not yet woken up from a deep sleep, but Lily can already smell the leaked air, which shows that the seal of this place has begun to loosen, and perhaps the sleep of Vivian has come to an end. Then he has two options Either find the other party and wake up directly, or just wait here and wait for Vivian to wake up naturally. Although the latter is a simple method, it is really not a good solution, because he does not know how long Vivian intends to sleep at all-this "wake up" is also relative to the total length of her sleep at least half a century, What if she still plans to sleep for three to five years? Is it waiting here?
Hao Ren just thought of this, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a strange thing in the corner of the cave.
It was a small dark red trace.
"What is this?" Lily followed Hao Ren and noticed the marks.
"Leta Rune, a kind of magical symbol," Hao Ren is completely convinced that this is indeed the seal of Vivian. He even saw the other person ’s handwriting from the Leta Rune. Can't help but get excited, "It's her stay ... it's her stay!"
"Magic power? Sounds like an old man," Lily marveled, "What are these symbols for?"
"If it ’s true ... this should be something used to protect yourself during the Vivian sleep ... Gee, for everyone else, probably no one can unlock the seal of the Countess of the Red Moon, but for me It's too simple. "
His magic is immune to physique, but it can perfectly crack Vivian blood magic!
Thinking of this, he placed his hands directly on the blood runes that contained powerful power.
