Whoosh!
A figure landed in a basin on a hill.
The basin was rather humid. At this moment, there was a bonfire in the center of the basin. Four people surrounded the bonfire. One was sleeping on a rock next to the bonfire, one was playing with a knife in his hand, carving wood, and one was hugging a furry animal in his arms, gently stroking it while staring at the bonfire in a daze.
Hearing the noise, one of the women sitting by the bonfire with her eyes closed said, "You're back?"
The other two turned around and saw a tall and thin figure walking slowly from the basin. His skinny face looked gloomy under the light of the bonfire. It was Baptiste. He did not say anything but sat down on an empty spot by the bonfire. He picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire.
Felicia slowly opened her blue eyes and looked at Baptiste. She frowned and said, "Why do you smell like blood? Didn't I tell you that you can go out for a stroll? But when you come back, you must clean up the smell. Don't let it affect our plan tomorrow!"
"I'll do it later," Baptiste replied weakly. Baptiste replied weakly. He didn't dare to be angry with this woman. He could only be depressed. Whenever he thought of the words on the stone wall, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and clench his fists. The regret in his heart made him feel aggrieved. However, he was the one who caused it, so he had nowhere to vent his frustration.
Phinea's blue eyes were pure and clear. She looked at Baptiste and frowned, "What happened?"
"What can happen to him? He must have been unable to find a suitable target to practice with." The young man who was carving wood looked up and said with a smile.
Baptiste rolled his eyes at him but didn't conceal anything. He said, "When I went out for a walk tonight, I bumped into a man. Judging from his armor, he shouldn't be from our place. He should be from one of the God Walls around here."
"Oh?"
"There are other abysses here?"
Hearing Baptiste's words, the others looked up at Baptiste with interest.
Felicia frowned and asked the middle-aged woman who was hugging a furry animal: "Is there another divine wall nearby, Viftelle?"
This middle-aged woman with a slightly masculine name was extremely beautiful. Just by looking at her appearance, no one would believe that she was already over fifty years old. Her skin was as white as jade, and her oval face was delicate and elegant. She looked cold, elegant, and charming at the same time, cute. She stroked the furry little animal in her hand while her other hand took out a scroll from the bag on her back. She opened it and looked at it, then shook her head and said, "No, within three thousand miles around here, there is no divine wall."
"I knew it. Which divine wall would be so close to the Devil Abyss?" The young man who was carving wood laughed.
Felicia frowned and looked at Baptiste. "Have you fought with that man? How strong is he? Middle or Lower? Or … a higher position? "
Baptiste sighed and shook his head.
Felicia, Wefteller, and the young man with carved wood couldn't help but be moved. Baptiste saw their expressions and knew that they had misunderstood him. He didn't want to talk about it, so he said, "If I'm not wrong, that man is just a ruler."
"A ruler?" The others were surprised and then relieved.
Felicia glanced at Baptiste and asked, "What's so special about this ruler?"
The young man with carved wood also saw Baptiste's strange expression and joked, "You wanted to kill this ruler but he escaped, didn't you?"
Baptiste didn't expect that his guess would be correct. He couldn't help but glare at the young man and snappily said, "You talk too much!"
"Really?" Wefteller was surprised.
The youth with carved wood laughed and said, "You know Baptiste's personality. He suddenly saw a person in the Abyss, and a ruler at that. It would be strange if he didn't capture him as a toy. Look at his dejected face, he obviously failed. But it was just a random guess, I didn't expect it to be true. Haha, Baptiste, you actually let a ruler escape from your hands. Amazing!"
The corner of Baptiste's mouth twitched. He coldly stared at the young man and said, "He escaped from my hands. With your ability, he can run around in circles. Do you believe me?"
The young man with carved wood smiled, "Yes, I believe you. Who doesn't know how good you are at tracking? But if it was me, he wouldn't have the chance to escape. If I see him, he will die in my hands. Do you believe me?"
Baptiste's eyes were spitting fire, "What do you mean?"
"Enough!" Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Felicia frowned and said, "Baptiste, tell us what happened first. This person is only a ruler, and yet he dares to come here. He must have some extraordinary ability." She deliberately said this to give Baptiste a way out of this embarrassing situation, but she knew that being able to escape from Baptiste as a ruler was not something that could be described as "extraordinary ability."
Baptiste snorted, "Speaking of which, it was my oversight. I was having fun when I suddenly saw that kid hiding in a tree. When I sneaked up on him, he noticed me and dodged in time. I didn't know if he was an Abyss or a ruler. Most importantly, he could control a Corpse King. There was a beautiful Corpse King beside him, and it gave me a dangerous feeling. I thought that the Corpse King was also an Abyss. Even if I won, I would probably be injured, and it would affect tomorrow's operation."
The young man with carved wood smiled. He didn't say anything, but his meaning was clear: You were scared. What does that have to do with tomorrow's operation?
Baptiste looked at him coldly and continued, "After I left, I realized that the kid might not be a ruler, so I went back to check. Sure enough, he slipped away. He is quite good at hiding. I searched for him for more than two hours and still couldn't find him. If Vifteller was here, he would be dead for sure!"
Felicia's blue eyes flickered as she said, "You mean, this person can control the Undead King?"
"Yes!" Baptiste thought of the key point he wanted to say: "I don't know where this kid learned it from. I suspect that this kid is not from the other God Walls. He might be a remnant of the Abyss. Didn't someone say that there are survivors from the previous era in the Abyss? Someone once saw traces of the Abyss's activities here. I suspect that this kid might be a remnant of the Abyss."
Felicia asked, "Have you talked to him? Do you know what language he speaks?"
Baptiste said, "It's the common language of the Abyss."
"If it's the common language of the Abyss, then what's there to doubt?" The young man with carved wood said impatiently.
Baptiste rolled his eyes and said, "Wouldn't the remnant of the Abyss sneak into the Abyss to learn it? There is no way to control the Corpse King in the Abyss. Which Monster Research Institute in the Abyss would dare to not hand it in?"
Phinea nodded and said, "We don't know where he's from for now, but it seems like he's still nearby. Although a mere Sovereign can't affect us, we don't know the rank of the Corpse King he controls. In any case, Viftelle, pay more attention to the surroundings. Don't let anyone pick up any loose ends from behind."
"Yes, I will." Vifteller nodded and touched the furry animal in his hand.
"When we get back, we can tell the master about this person. He has always been interested in the undead. If he knows that someone can control the Zombie King, he will try to find this person at all costs. By then, we will be considered as the ones who provide the information. If it is valuable, we might get a big reward." Felicia smiled and said.
Baptiste smiled in his heart. The reason why he told them such a shameful thing was to use the lord's hand to take revenge.
"Go and clean up. It's almost dawn. We should get ready to leave." Felicia said to Baptiste.
Baptiste nodded and looked at the sky. He got up and left.
…
…
Dean followed the footprints of the beasts. He didn't walk fast as he didn't want to bump into the abyss on the way. He hid his aura all the time and sneaked all the way. He came to a hilly area after more than an hour.
There were no footprints of the beasts nearby but there was still the smell of the abyss. Dean smelled other scents in the air, including the faint body fragrance of a woman.
Dean was shocked. Cold sweat oozed out of his back. There was someone else here? Was there more than one abyss?
He wanted to turn around and leave. If it was only the Abyss from last night, even if he encountered it, he was confident that he could escape. However, judging from the smell in the air, there were at least four people. If all of them were Abyss, he probably wouldn't be able to escape even if he had a pair of wings.
He stopped moving forward and slowly retreated. The tension in his heart slowly relaxed as he retreated further and further. He couldn't help but think that if all of them were abyss then why did they come here in a group?
Were they here to hunt a monster?
Wait … Apart from the Kingdom of God, which wall had so many abyss?
Dean wasn't sure if all four scents were abyss but he was sure that there were at least two abyss. Otherwise the abyss wouldn't have left four dominators there and come out alone.
"Gathering so many abysses at once, if all of them are abysses, then it would be equivalent to five Wall Lords. So many people came here just to hunt a monster? What else is there in the abyss besides monsters? Survivors of the abyss? Relics of the previous era? " Dean speculated in his heart. These speculations made him more curious. He couldn't wait to follow them again to find out. But reason told him that he wasn't the protagonist of a novel. He didn't have such good luck. Even if the other party came to find a treasure, he could only stare at them with his little strength.
In that case, wouldn't it be stupid to risk his life just to feast his eyes?
"You go your way and I'll go mine. I'll give you the face of your companions this time. But if we meet again in the future … Humph! Whoever is weak will be unlucky." Dean thought about it in his heart, but then he felt it was funny. He and the other party had turned back to look for each other, but after looking for each other, it was to no avail, and they could only end up resentfully.
Seeing that the sun had risen, Dean no longer thought about it. He continued to move forward along his original track. He was going in the opposite direction of the previous hill he had explored. He only prayed that this direction was the opposite of the abyss last night and not the same route.
To be on the safe side, he decided to move 300 miles horizontally and then continue to the north.
This time, he was even more cautious on his journey. After all, the Abyss and his companions could appear at any time last night. It was also possible that they would run into each other while chasing a monster. If that was the case, he could only blame his bad luck.
