The trees in the forest moved backward quickly. Ma Wen walked through the forest skillfully.
Many professions actually had hidden talents that were not written down. For example, a Thief's Concealment talent allowed them to walk through the streets and steal things calmly. A Wizard's Concealment talent allowed them to easily focus their attention. A Ranger's Concealment talent mostly manifested in the wilderness.
Traversing through the wilderness and woods, they felt like fish in water.
Ma Wen left the Scarlet Monastery immediately after obtaining the Lich's Broken Finger from the magic box.
He had already gotten what he could get, so he had to retreat decisively. After all, the Scarlet Monastery was full of danger. Monsters like the Demon God Executor were still too powerful for Ma Wen. It was foolish to take unnecessary risks.
He walked through the Hall Mountains, avoiding the monsters that might be lurking, all the way to the northwest.
In a place not too far away, there was an abandoned altar. In Ma Wen's plan, he had to go to that altar.
However, with the help of the headless girl, he was pleasantly surprised to obtain the Lich's Broken Finger. This meant that he could use this thing to get more good things from the altar!
As Marvin walked, he checked all sorts of records.
[Knowledge-God (Lich's Broken Finger)]: You have obtained the Lich's Broken Finger. There is a faint trace of divinity on it. This was a very powerful Lich. He was close to becoming a god, but he failed at the last moment. But he will not give up. He is still asleep, but he will eventually make a comeback. He can feel every part of his body. This broken finger hides the secret of his success in becoming a god. And this divinity is a very precious resource in the hands of powerful mages or enchanters. But for some people, this thing will only bring you trouble.
There was no doubt that Ma Wen belonged to the "some people." He did not have a divine personality. He was not the son of god, so he could not absorb the divinity of the broken finger. Keeping this broken finger with him for a long time would only bring trouble to himself. So, from the beginning, he did not plan to keep this treasure for a long time.
He was going to sacrifice it, right on that altar.
There should be many gods or mages interested in the Severed Finger that possessed Minor Divinity. This naturally included the ancient elven gods who stood aloof from worldly affairs.
…
The Ancient God of the Elves was the second generation of Ancient Gods. Other than the reclusive God of Sorcerers, Lance, the rest of the Ancient Gods of the first generation had already fallen. Ma Wen remembered that this Ancient God was an oddity among the Gods. When the Gods of the Heaven Realm decided to join forces to attack the Universe Magic Pool, he was one of the few who opposed it.
Just this point alone made Ma Wen have a good impression of him. One must know that the destruction of the Universe Demon Pool was an unstoppable catastrophe for the mortal world.
Otherwise, the scholars in the Southern Pearl Tower wouldn't have called this a "cataclysm".
However, unwilling to be left out, the gods finally launched an attack on the Universal Mana Pool in order to find the fourth Fate Slate. The God of Sorcerers, Lance, had left for too long, and they had forgotten his glory and power. The original purpose of establishing the Universe Magic Pool was to help the ordinary people on the Fernand Continent, making it easier for them to master witchcraft and become powerful sorcerers in order to resist the endless monsters in the Wilderness.
At the same time, the Universe Magic Pool was also the outer barrier of the Fernand World. It protected Fernand, preventing those who were too powerful from entering Fernand.
This act protected the interests of all living beings on the Fernand Continent. Because of this, its founder, the God of Sorcerers, Lance, was regarded as the supreme god by all the races in Fernand, vaguely having the tendency to override all the ancient and new gods. Many of the gods were dissatisfied with Lance's strength, but they dared not say anything.
Now that the God of Sorcerers had left Fernand for more than a thousand years, the gods had long been ready to make trouble.
The disaster had already begun, and no one could stay out of it.
Ma Wen took a deep breath and quickened his pace.
…
Two days later, northwest of the Hall Mountains.
[You have discovered the Dead Hills]
[Your Knowledge-Geography + 1]
[Knowledge-Geography (Dead Hills)]: The hills ahead are desolate, and the terrain is quite complex. In this kind of environment, there are often terrifying creatures.
Ma Wen stood at the entrance of the Dead Hills, silently comparing the route in his memory to see if there were any deviations.
He was quite lucky along the way. Other than killing a few ignorant gnomes, he did not encounter any powerful monsters.
This was related to the relative safety of the Hall Mountains.
However, the Dead Hills were different. Not only were there various nomadic races living here, but there were also many criminals and monsters. Because the terrain was quite suitable for hiding, some of the strongholds here had gathered a large number of wanted criminals from the nearby cities.
Whether it was River Beach City or the further Gem Bay, all the villains were concentrated in this area.
There were also man-eating plants that ate people without seeing blood, or unknown venomous snakes and bugs that could kill you instantly.
However, most of these things were concentrated in the depths of the Dead Hills, and the outer areas were relatively safer.
Ma Wen did not intend to go deep into it. His goal was a small cave in the outer area.
He stood on a small hill, repeatedly confirming the direction of the sun and the route in his memory before walking into the hills.
…
At dusk, he almost reached the vicinity of his destination.
However, at this time, Ma Wen encountered an unexpected person.
There was a series of roars coming from a small open space in front of him. It was an enraged brown bear.
Beside the brown bear, a tall man in a black robe was holding two knives in his hands, moving quickly!
His attack method was extremely cruel and cunning. Every knife attack was aimed at the extremely painful part of the brown bear, but it was not enough to kill the jungle overlord immediately!
The brown bear roared angrily, trying to catch the human who kept hurting it.
However, it was too clumsy!
"More than 20 points of Agility!"
"Master-level Machete Mastery!"
"A Grade 2 Ranger's advanced profession … From the knife technique, it seems to be the Black Butcher!"
Ma Wen hid under a tree, silently watching the scene. There was a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.
This guy was too strong!
He was completely torturing this brown bear!
There was probably nothing on this brown bear that he wanted. He was completely torturing and killing the brown bear for perverted fun!
Or maybe he was honing his skills. In short, this kind of person was not to be trifled with.
Such a guy's perception must be very good. Although Ma Wen was also very confident in his concealment, it would be a headache if he was discovered.
He hid in place, motionless, and even lowered his breathing rate to the minimum.
He just watched the man in black torture the brown bear to death. When the latter died, all the blood in its body had flowed out, and its fur had been damaged to the point where it could not be any worse. It was almost cut off!
This way of dying was too cruel.
The man in black stopped attacking and stood in place. Suddenly, he looked over.
"Oh no, I was discovered."
Ma Wen knew that it would be difficult for him to hide from such an expert.
However, the man in black did not immediately attack. He seemed to hesitate for a while, and suddenly showed a smile.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go."
After saying that, a shadow flew out from his hand.
Pa!
The shadow was inserted in the soil three steps in front of Ma Wen.
The man in black turned and left. With a few leaps, he disappeared into the woods.
Ma Wen wiped the sweat on his forehead and walked out of the shadows.
"Good luck. It seems that he has other things to do. "
He pulled out the yellow card inserted in the soil. On it was a spider with open fangs!
Ma Wen's expression suddenly changed!
Shadow Spider Guild!
This guy was an assassin from the Shadow Spider Guild!
This yellow card meant a warning, warning Ma Wen not to appear in his sight a second time. Otherwise, he would mercilessly kill Ma Wen.
"Isn't the Shadow Spider Guild's power base generally in the north?"
"Why did a member come to the south?"
Ma Wen smelled a hint of something unusual.
No matter what, this was a very troublesome signal. The only big city nearby was River Beach City. He had a hunch that he was likely to meet this assassin again.
"It's going to be difficult …" Ma Wen shook his head. If he faced the assassin head-on now, he would almost be completely suppressed.
He had to improve his strength as soon as possible!
He did not stop and continued to search the nearby caves.
Finally, before the sun set, he found the quiet cave.
The cave was very quiet. Because of the protection of the Ancient God, no monsters dared to approach.
Ma Wen walked directly to the end of the cave and came to the abandoned altar.
