"This place is really eerie … Veronica."
Lin and Beeru were walking on a grey land.
There were no stars here, and no stars could be seen, but there were still some glowing objects moving around.
These glowing objects looked like mosquitoes, and they were flying around the stone pillars … as if they were the only source of light.
They were also the first creatures Lin discovered here … they should be creatures.
Even without them, Lin and Beeru's armor could still provide light.
While frowning, Lin paid attention to the surroundings and the … skull in her hand.
Lin had taken this skull from the stone pillar not long ago. It was not the skull of an Ershi Min … it was carved out of stone, probably by a Corpse Craftsman Worm. From the outside, it looked exactly the same as the skull of an Ershi Min, be it the color or … weight.
"Veronica, where are we going?" Beeru asked from behind. "This place is a bit scary …"
"Find a location that can be located," Lin said. "After that, we can teleport."
This was a location that could be sensed by teleportation, but Lin could faintly sense that the teleportation barrier here was not complete.
There was a … loophole somewhere. If she could reach it, Lin should be able to sense the location of this place.
But it might take a while.
With that thought in mind, Lin threw away the skull in her hand and continued to move forward.
"Veronica! There's a ghost! "
Bealu suddenly shouted. Lin also stopped because she could see that not far in front of them, there was a … shadow.
It was slowly floating in the air over ten meters above the ground. Lin felt that it should be the shadow of a Corpse Craftsman Worm, which meant that there was a Corpse Craftsman Worm nearby.
Lin also noticed that the 'light mosquitoes' in the surroundings all disappeared in an instant when the shadow appeared.
This meant that this place had become completely dark … except for where Lin and Beeru were standing.
That was because the protective suit was still glowing.
The shadow seemed to be attracted by the light and floated over … until it was in front of Lin.
Lin reached out and touched it. Her hand passed through the shadow. Lin found that it was not the shadow of a Corpse Craftsman Worm … it was like a three-dimensional image without a 'solid' body.
"Turn off the light."
Lin quickly turned off the light, and Beelu did the same. When the light disappeared … Lin waited for more than ten seconds before turning it back on.
As soon as the light shone, Lin noticed that the shadow had already left, it had gone somewhere else.
Lin felt that … it might be a special local creature in the 'God's Eye'. Although it felt like a dream creature, it didn't have any dream energy.
In short, he had to continue moving forward.
Walking between the stone pillars that were littered with skulls, Lin noticed that after the shadow left, many Light Mosquitoes appeared again.
They flew around in circles, and Lin thought she could use them to tell if any strange creatures were approaching.
However … Lin and Bilu walked for several thousand seconds without encountering any strange creatures.
So, Lin inspected her surroundings once more. Lin discovered that those skulls … weren't completely fake.
Some of them were Ershi Min's skulls, while others were carved from stone, which made Lin feel a little strange.
Now, he could only assume that these were all done by the Corpse Craftsman Bugs.
"Student Veronica, it seems that we've left that place … but it seems that we've arrived at a gloomy place."
After walking for a while, Lin and Beelu finally walked out of the area filled with skulls, and what appeared in front of them was …
A place that looked like a village.
There were many buildings made of stone that looked like small houses.
This was very similar to the small village that the Corpse Clan had built in the cold land, most of them were stone buildings that were only a few meters tall.
These buildings matched with the color of the sky, making Beelu feel quite uncomfortable.
After all, the environment here was similar to the cold land from before, which made it easy for the Ershi Min to feel fear.
Previously, when they were in the Corpse Clan's city, Beelu didn't feel much because she had to stay in the Mech, but now that she had to walk by herself, it didn't feel good.
Fortunately, there were many Light Mosquitoes flying around between these stone buildings, which made this place … not as gloomy.
Lin continued to walk between these buildings, and could see that most of the small stone houses were empty … but there were always some piles of stones in front of their doors.
They were piles of stones that were only a few centimeters in size, which were generally one meter tall, and seemed to have some special meaning.
"Student Veronica … I think there are ghosts here too … ah ah ah!"
Lin turned around and saw Beelu kicking down a pile of stones … but why was she screaming?
"There's a face!" Beelu ran to Lin's side and said, "There's a face!"
"… A face?"
Lin walked over and pushed away the scattered stones, and indeed, she saw Ershi Min's face at the bottom of the pile of stones.
Lin examined it and found that it really was Ershi Min's face, and it had been reinforced, making it as hard as stone.
This way, it would be stable and wouldn't break easily.
Was this also made by the Corpse Craftsman Bug? But why was that? It felt like it was deliberately made for Ershi Min to kick it down, and then … scare it.
Indeed, this would cause a certain degree of fear to Ershi Min, and Lin felt that the remnants of the body would be more afraid of Ershi Min than the whole body, and in most cases, this was the case.
"Student Veronica, this place … why are there so many scary things … ah ah ah!"
Beelu screamed again, and Lin looked in the direction of her vision, and found … there was a huge creature in the house not far away … it should be a creature, and it was moving.
It quickly came out from behind a house, and appeared in front of Lin's eyes … this had nothing to do with Ershi Min, this creature had six limbs, it was six meters long and three meters tall, and its body was fat, very much like … a sea cucumber.
It used its thick legs to slowly move on the ground, and Lin felt that it should be a native species.
It showed no interest in Lin and Beelu, and just slowly walked in front of them … towards the skull pillars.
"Phew, what's this, so it's just a gentle fatty."
Seeing this, Beelo breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as her voice fell, the sea cucumber-like creature suddenly turned around, and at a very fast speed … it rushed towards them.
"Ah ah? It's crazy! "
Lin and Beelu quickly dodged to the side, and the creature directly ran past them, and crashed into a stone house.
