Chapter 150 Looking Back
Lin Qi pretended not to notice the enemy, and when he was close enough, he suddenly attacked.
The broken bodies flew everywhere like toys, and one of the pieces fell next to the dwarf, waking Glenn next to the dwarf as if from a dream.
The time of slaughter passed quickly, and the night returned to silence.
Lynch led the team forward again without changing his expression, which made the humans look at him with even more awe.
The reversed schedule made the human extremely miserable, but he still gritted his teeth and caught up with the lizard man.
The dwarves sang Grimnir's song, and from time to time in the night, a few low roars were heard to refute the dwarves' ugly singing.
Apparently, the dwarves didn't care what they thought and continued to have fun.
Glenn found the idle Swordmaster of Hoeth, and under the other's impatient gaze, he shamelessly started a conversation, trying to drive away the fear with words.
What made Lynch happy was that it seemed that the sword master did not directly express his contempt for humans.
Those two passionate people were having a good chat... maybe.
Lynch discovered that there was a colony not far to the east.
This was a common and foolish attempt by warmbloods on the Isthmus of Lustria, and the rainforest would teach them a lesson in the coming months.
Lynch led the hot-bloods slowly towards the camp, preparing to eliminate this stronghold.
Beyond the lush jungle, the simple fence was exposed to the eyes of the soldiers.
Oil lamps were burning in the wooden houses, and the faint smell of food could be smelled.
But he couldn't find a single living person, and Lynch didn't sense the presence of any living person.
Lynch kicked open the wooden railing and stepped onto the gravel road.
The path was lined with freshly cut weeds and vines, and it looked like someone had been maintaining the edge of the colony.
There were no signs of fighting, no traces of blood.
Lynch walked into the colony and saw only dead silence and prosperity.
The humans and dwarves looked particularly uneasy, yet inexplicably excited.
Maybe they know something.
Lynch signaled to the two with his eyes that he needed to know more information.
To prevent language barriers, Teclis provided translation services.
This was not the first time that Sorian and Glenn had seen such an anomaly. They were used to seeing such relics when they were hunting for the "Orphan Maker".
On the mysterious night every year, there is always a family that will unfortunately disappear at the dinner table.
Chickens and dogs were still barking in the yard, but there was no sign of intrusion; it looked as if the residents had simply vanished.
The dwarves and humans will find the ignorant orphans in a blocked area.
According to the orphans, they only felt the terrifying gaze from the darkness.
The soul-piercing gaze awakened them from their slumber.
The feeling of being watched makes them scalp tingle, driving them to hide in places they think are safe.
Glenn had a similar experience, but at that time he was hiding in the basement and did not feel the so-called sense of being watched.
"That sounds like some kind of curse spell."
Tigris made a comment at the end, which Lynch thought was more like a trick of the devil.
Lynch wanted to travel around the colony, but no creature except himself liked to leave the group.
This is normal. The empty bustling city is really weird.
Lynch eventually brought the hot-bloods to the square of the colonial town and had them defend in an area with a wide field of vision.
But Lynch himself walked into the streets.
He is more adapted to encounters and has more confidence in facing his enemies.
It seemed like something hadn't left the town yet, and Lynch could feel a creepy gaze in the darkness.
But he is a cold-blooded creature, and he is usually the one who makes other creatures shudder.
Lynch was waiting for them to reveal their physical form, but unfortunately, no matter how arrogantly he walked into the darkness, they remained unmoved.
The hunting perception did not mark any specific existence for Lynch this time. It seemed that the great wizard was right. The challenge this time was still an invisible force.
That's even better. Lynch is not afraid of this mysterious attack.
Lynch thought they were frightened because there was nothing in the darkness.
During the search, the Lizard Man once thought that it was the ignorant townspeople who triggered the power of the ruins.
There are remnants of magic throughout Lustria, often from the Cataclysm, long-standing echoes of the Slann's battles with demons.
If it was Slan's magic, then everything would make sense.
The reason why the chickens and dogs could continue to bark ignorantly instead of disappearing like their masters was because of the specificity of Slann magic! But as far as Lin Qi knew, Slann rarely left magic to fight against hot-blooded people. Their enemies were demons and ratmen.
In fact, to this day, Shilan will not adjust magic casually, even if there are hot-blooded people invading the temple city.
There is a greater evil threatening them at all times, and the hot-bloods are just ignorant passers-by. The power of the temple itself is enough to repel the enemy without them having to exert great force.
Lynch broke into a private house. As expected, the owner of the house was just a pirate and a part-time businessman, and the house did not have the layout of a normal house.
The lizard man almost triggered the trap left by the owner of the house. It seems that this town is not as peaceful as it seems.
To Lynch's delight, the victims deserved their punishment; they were indeed avid gold diggers, and Lynch discovered the bodies of skinks that were used as decorations.
The Isthmus of Lustria is a troubled area. The hot-bloods are too rampant and Hesiota lacks other strong external support.
Only in the vicinity of Hexota can the Skinks' reconstruction be guaranteed.
Outside of Hexota, the bustling rainforest is filled with warmblooded gold diggers, and without the protection of the Legion, the Skinks could easily be at a disadvantage in a conflict.
They are more familiar with the rainforest, but lack sophisticated equipment and sufficient combat skills.
The hot-blooded species that come to plunder are often mixed with mages and demons, which are not the forces they should face.
No wonder the ancient demon toad wakes up frequently, bringing disasters to the mortals in the rainforest like a plague.
If the south side of Lustria is the rear of this conflict and the north side is the front line of the cold-blooded people, then the Isthmus of Lustria is the battlefield where the two armies meet.
Lynch did not find enough clues, but after leaving the house, when he stood next to the oil lamp outside, he turned his head and looked back as if he had realized something.
When he looked back, the town with its colorful lights had disappeared.
In the darkness, the wooden poles and gravel roads were replaced by bones. What Lynch saw when he looked back looked more like a cemetery than a small town.
The houses turned into strange-looking tombstones, with translucent blood-stained figures emerging from them from time to time.
But when Lynch turned his head, all the abnormalities disappeared.
The lizard man walked towards the place where the evil spirit was in his memory, turning his head and swinging his weapon.
But this time, turning back did not let Lynch see the hidden world, but almost twisted his waist, because Lynch did not care about his body at all and did a difficult move.
Relying on his remarkable self-healing ability, Lynch straightened his body and returned to the outside.
But when he turned his head under the oil lamp, the dead and silent world full of the dead appeared again.
The lizard man cunningly activated Kotego's staff, and he felt that he had found the key.
It's time for these guys who pretend to be ghosts to face the judgment of the ancient saints.
