Because of this, some debates broke out among Du Yuqi and his group. Some advocated waiting until the rain stopped before leaving, so that sharpening the knives would not delay the wood cutting work. Others wanted to move forward in the rain. Finally, Du Yuqi proposed a compromise, which was to find a place to shelter from the rain until noon. If the rain stopped by then, they would continue on their way. If not, they would wait until the rain stopped before leaving.
At this time, everyone was moving along the river. If they wanted to avoid the rain, they would naturally find a big tree and set up a tent in a dry place under it. However, while they were busy, Du Yuqi's face suddenly changed. He looked carefully at the river, then jumped in without hesitation, and with a splash, water splashed everywhere!
Seeing Du Yuqi's sudden action, the others were all shocked, but soon they saw Du Yuqi float to the surface and gestured to them that everything was fine, so they did not act rashly. Then they saw Du Yuqi dive back into the water, and when he floated up again, he had already grasped half of the tree trunk in his hand, and then threw it up and swam back to the shore.
At this time, everyone knew that Du Yuqi was going for this half of the tree trunk, so of course they surrounded it. Then, except for Holmes, everyone's face became very serious, because everyone could see very clearly that there were obvious signs of burnt on this half of the tree trunk. That was fine, but the key was that in a crack in the trunk, there was actually a black flame winding inside, which continued to burn, and it looked like a living black snake!
You know, if Du Yuqi fished this tree trunk out of the river, no one knows how long it had been soaked in the water. The black flame could actually continue to burn in the river. What an evil and crazy flame!
After Du Yuqi came ashore, he came over to look at the flame. After thinking for a while, he pulled up a small tree about half a meter high from the side and directly placed the roots of the small tree on the black flame to burn. Immediately, he saw that the black flame began to grow significantly stronger.
What's even more bizarre is that when this small tree, which was more than half a meter tall, was pulled up, it still had lush branches and leaves, with green leaf buds. However, under the burning of the black flames, it was obvious that the roots were burned, and the leaves on the top quickly turned withered and yellow!
"It can't be wrong." Du Yuqi said calmly: "This black flame can actually absorb life force to strengthen itself, and it is so vicious and crazy. It must be that person's signature skill, the Flame of Original Sin."
After hearing what Du Yuqi said, Holmes couldn't help but said in surprise:
"The Flame of Original Sin! This, this is the unique power of the Immortals. There are actually such strong people on the continent of Arad! Who are you talking about?"
Xi said coldly:
"Neil Bass."
Holmes was shocked and said:
"Neilbas? Could it be the legendary..."
Jeter said:
"Yes, it's the legendary Nilbath Gracia."
Holmes was shocked:
"He's still alive? How is that possible? Why is he here?"
Du Yuqi said:
"I can answer your first question. He is indeed alive. I saw him in Cantwin not long ago. As for why he came here, I really don't know. But according to my speculation, there must be some unprecedented changes in this ghost place, which caused the members of the Violent Hunting Group and Neilbas to gather here!"
After Du Yuqi came to this conclusion, he began to think urgently:
"No, even though we don't know what happened here, the goals of the Violent Hunting Group and Neilbas are definitely not the same as ours. Seeing that this damn place has turned into a terrifying whirlpool, the wisest thing for us to do is to get out of here immediately... But we can't ignore Duize's affairs, so the best response is to seize the time, race against time to finish what we have to do and get out!"
Du Yuqi expressed his thoughts to the group of people, and the others nodded in agreement. Then they set out on the journey in the rain. On the way, everyone was very careful, because not only was there danger everywhere, but being followed by a mutated bloodthirsty cat demon made them feel like a thorn in the back.
However, at this time, they had to choose the lesser of two evils. Whether it was the violent search team or the tyrannical Neilbas, they were like giants standing in front of Du Yuqi and his men. If they faced them head-on, they might end up being crushed to pieces. Obviously, everyone knew this truth, so they moved forward quickly in silence and soon arrived near the abandoned laboratory.
It is humid, rainy and relatively warm here, so it goes without saying that the vegetation is lush. This abandoned laboratory is naturally completely invisible from a distance, and is completely swallowed up by the dense jungle.
The reason why this place was discovered can only be described in four words: accidental discovery.
The story begins very simply, a team enters the Bilmark Empire test site, and almost everyone in the team is forced to go nowhere by life, so they come here to try their luck. However, their luck is not good, and they are soon scattered in the jungle, with some dead and some injured.
It was the middle of the night, with heavy rain, pitch black, lightning and thunder, and the conditions were extremely bad. Although these bad conditions were very difficult for others, they were a great opportunity bestowed by God on the black players in the team.
Because the black one is an Asura, and Asuras are blind.
Therefore, no matter how dark it was, or how loud the lightning and thunder were, they had little effect on him. Instead, they interfered with the monsters that were chasing him.
So the Black Man managed to escape successfully, but the situation was urgent at the time, so he was in a panic and ended up accidentally entering this abandoned laboratory.
At that time, the Black Man was completely frightened and seriously injured, so he had no intention of exploring. He took shelter from the rain, caught his breath, and left in a hurry. After he returned to Huttonmar, he recorded this experience and drew a map. He was also very meticulous, and fearing that his words were not reliable, he specially took a flask from the abandoned laboratory.
Therefore, the black man did not return empty-handed thanks to this map. The flask was identified as an old item from more than a hundred years ago, so he sold it for a sum of money, which solved his urgent problem.
However, after the first owner who bought this map came to investigate with great enthusiasm, he immediately cried out in bad luck. It turned out that as soon as he arrived, he found several abandoned camps of cat demons near the abandoned laboratory, and even found a large amount of feces at the door of the abandoned laboratory. Therefore, he judged that the Minotaur might have used it as a nest.
It is well known that the monsters in the Bilmark Empire's testing grounds would also devour Terra Stone, making themselves stronger. So if several abandoned cat demon camps were found around this abandoned laboratory, it almost meant that the camps had already been turned upside down by the cat demons. The intuition of wild beasts must be much more sensitive than that of humans, which means that the possibility of Terra Stone being contained there is extremely low, and this extremely low possibility is about 99.9 percent.
Because of this, the original owner of the map felt very unlucky. He thought he had dug a gold mine at a low price, but it was a false alarm. It was not easy to organize people to come to the Bilmark Empire test site. If they were not forced to do so, who would come to such a place to try to find a way out? Therefore, they did not try to return to the original place, but continued to take risks, hoping to get lucky based on their experience.
As a result, they encountered a large group of bloodthirsty cat demons that came to hunt them. The expedition team suffered heavy casualties. The two survivors managed to escape and sold the baggage they brought back on the spot in Hutton Mar, along with the map. They also told the details of the situation, and as a result, Holmes bought it along with the adventure logs of the group.
