Soon, Carolina returned to Many's side. She pursed her lips and flew towards the other side of the valley with Many and Kuzkas. Until the moment they landed, she whispered, "It was done by the dragons."
Hearing this, many people tightened their grip on their wooden staffs.
The power of this forbidden spell was too terrifying. It was different from the forbidden spell that Madam Vasaki used to kill tens of thousands of abyssal creatures. That forbidden spell had almost negligible changes to the environment, but this forbidden spell had obviously changed the landscape of more than a hundred square kilometers. The visual impact of this spell was really terrifying!
This was obviously beyond the level of a normal top-grade powerhouse. Super grade?
Could it be the dragon who cast the enchantment on the snow mountain?
For no apparent reason, he immediately thought of the culprit who trapped Caroline. However, this thought only flashed through his mind as he didn't have much evidence to prove that there was any connection between the two. The only similarity was that both were caused by high-level dragon spellcasters.
Many felt that his thoughts were starting to get confused when he thought about the relationship between the two and entered a dead end. He simply shook his head and sighed. He turned around and continued to walk towards the destination with Carolina who had the same solemn look. They tacitly did not talk about anything about the dragons anymore.
Kuzkaz walked in front as if nothing had happened and remained silent.
The team fell into a strange atmosphere and walked like this for almost a day.
Because they had to go around the Wind Serpent Valley, the three of them arrived at the temple area marked on the map in the evening.
Kurz and Karolina stayed on the outskirts. Most of them followed Elder Valenz's instructions and entered the forest alone.
That's right, it was called a temple, but Many only saw a forest that was no different from other places.
After half a day, Many was very depressed to find a problem.
The situation here was somewhat unexpected to Many, or should it be said that it was unexpected to everyone, including Kuzkas. Because there seemed to be no temple in this forest!
Not to mention a temple, there was not even a damn man-made building!
Many walked in this area for a day, but there was no sign of a temple. He was very clear that there was no problem with his memory. Elder Valencia said that the Cullen trolls could turn invisible, but the temple would not!
What was going on?
Was the map wrong?
That was impossible. Elder Valencia would never make such a joke. Could it be the movement of the earth's crust?
That was even more ridiculous. It was not like landslides and mudslides happened every day. No matter how much it changed, a stable ecosystem like the forest would not undergo such drastic changes … Especially within a few decades.
Moreover, they were not looking for a tree or something that could move, but an entire temple. This was a huge ruin. According to Elder Valenze's description, the area of this ruin was similar to the Temple of the Moon Goddess in Darthill. In other words, it had an area of more than a few square kilometers. In the area indicated on the map, there were only trees. Not to mention the brick walls of the temple, there wasn't even a decent stone slab!
They had no choice but to return to the agreed place with Karolina and asked Kuzkaz about this matter.
"Disappeared?
To be honest, I can't give an answer to this question, because I'm not sure if there used to be a temple here. "
"Then … according to your tribe's impression, what should there be here?"
"Other than the Wind Serpents, it should be another troll tribe. You know, there are some guys that even the Wind Serpents cannot afford to offend."
"Could it be …"
"Other than the Caucasian trolls, I don't think you can give any other suitable answer."
Many words that Kuzkas wanted to say were stuck in his throat, but there was nothing he could say. The strength of Gasol's group had been deeply imprinted in his mind.
"But we, the Melk Tribe, don't know much about the temple. After Valencia left, I heard that he went to another tribe and became an elder, but there was no news of him after that. If you say that other than the Caucasian and Wind Serpents in this area, that tribe whose surname has almost disappeared might be able to provide some clues."
Kuzkas casually plucked a flower that grew on the ground and lightly sipped it. The flower's stem tasted like honey, and could be considered a troll's "snack" or "cigarette" to relieve boredom. This was the first time he spoke in such detail, but it seemed that he did not have a good impression of the troll tribe that had driven Valencia away.
"How do we find them?"
"It's not hard to find them. We just need patience."
Kuzkas pointed his spear into the distance and said, "There will always be some clues in the area where a tribe is active. I believe it won't take much time."
"Alright."
Many couldn't do anything right now. He couldn't question the accuracy of Elder Valencia's map, so he could only try his best to find them.
Carolina's perception was also trying hard to find the trolls in this forest area, but it was obvious that the area of this forest was really not small, and this method of searching was really not efficient. In the end, she began to move quickly in the forest with Kuzkas, and at the same time, she sensed the aura around her.
However, this method was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After a busy day, they still had nothing.
But for Kuzkas and many other snipers, they had plenty of patience. In the evening, the 3 of them took a routine rest in an empty space in the forest. The 3 of them sat together helplessly while looking at the bonfire.
"Kulun troll?
This name is a bit strange. I seem to have heard someone mention it before … Oh, only Valencia mentioned it. "
Kuzkas used a bone knife made from an unknown magic beast's bone to carve the wood in his hand, and stared at the stubble as he answered Many's questions.
"What's the furthest place you've been?"
Many of them were chatting until they had nothing to say.
"The furthest?
South of Boer's Hand. Here, it's this place on the map. "
He pointed at the animal skin map that was thrown to the side. "I met someone similar to you there. They moved towards the west, and I just took a look before returning to the tribe."
"When?"
"Half a year ago. They chose a route that the troll was not willing to take. Without the cover of the forest, the hunters would be at a disadvantage."
Obviously, Kuzkas was talking about the army of the Holy Church.
"Then —"
"Many, there's a situation."
Carolina suddenly interrupted their conversation. She stood up and released a new barrier without hesitation. At the same time, she reached out her hand to extinguish the bonfire in front of the 3 of them.
The fire disappeared into thin air. Many looked down and saw that the bonfire was covered with a thick layer of ice. There was not even a bit of smoke coming out.
This kind of reaction was not something that would happen under normal circumstances. For Carolina to be so cautious, it was obvious that there seemed to be some … uninvited guests around. "Silence."
A line of dim words floated in the air. The light was a little weaker than the light of a firefly. It only existed for a second before disappearing.
Many squinted their eyes, and the surroundings instantly fell into endless darkness. It was a cloudy day, and the moonlight could not penetrate the clouds at all. Everything around them was basically in a state of unobservable state. Many simply closed their eyes and carefully sensed their surroundings.
There was a strange smell in the air, mixed with a smell of earth and a strange stench.
The 3 of them stood still because Carolina did not do anything else. She just stood there as usual, but many around her could still feel the surrounding elements gathering towards her at an accelerated speed. Carolina was like a huge magnetic field that was constantly strengthening, attracting the iron powder around her. Although there was nothing in front of them, many felt as if there were waves constantly crashing against their faces.
"Crack."
The sound of branches breaking came from the side.
