The cover of the underground cave was suddenly removed.
Sunders quickly entered the pit and began to check the area.
Rhine flew around the Wind Whisper Valley and finally landed in the deep pit.
Sunders was standing in a corner with a frown.
"I've circled around the Windwhisper Valley, but I didn't find any humans," Rhine said as he walked to an extinguished fire in the deep pit.
He touched the ashes in the fire and saw something shining on his finger.
"The last bit of fire should have been burned out a day ago." Rein frowned. "Which means there was someone here a day ago?"
Rein mumbled to himself for a while and did not get any response. He approached Sunders with a puzzled look on his face.
He walked over and saw Sunders touching the dusty ground.
This was a rock layer, and the ground was mostly made of rocks. But strangely, a certain part of the ground was covered with something black like asphalt. He also smelled blood.
Rein immediately recognized it as a pool of blood.
Judging from the coverage, there must have been a lot of blood here.
"Whose blood?" Rein saw Sunders frowning. "Angor's?"
"Yes." Sunders nodded. "Something must have happened here after I left. Angor might be in danger."
"Is he dead?"
Sunders hesitated and shook his head. "I don't know. I can't sense the location of my blood. It seems it's blocked by a powerful energy field. However, I can feel that my Blood Essence is currently in a perfect state. "
However, there was no logical connection between his blood being in good condition and Angor's safety.
Besides, the fact that his blood was inside a powerful energy field was also strange.
"The blood was left here two days ago, but the fire was extinguished a day ago. Which means there was someone here yesterday. " Rein's eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of light. He was using Delirium Breaker to look back at the past. "There are traces of Angor, but it's very faint. It's like an invisible wind blew away all the remaining information."
The "wind" that existed in the past during Delirium Breaker was definitely not normal.
It was some kind of creature that had deliberately erased his information.
"But the strange thing is, other than the bloodstains, there are no other signs of damage." Rein mumbled to himself. If it wasn't caused by an external force, could it be that Angor was bleeding from the inside?
As Rein mumbled to himself, Sunders found a leg bone that had been gnawed until it was white.
After identification, this bone came from a monster called the Devil Hero Dao Qiong. It looked like a porcupine, but the thorns on the back of a porcupine were no threat to wizards. However, once the thorns on the back of a Devil Hero Dao Qiong were hit, they would immediately turn into maggots and drill into the body to wreak havoc. Its attack power was terrifying, and it belonged to a wizard level monster.
"The Demonic Hero Dao Qiong's hind leg meat is a high-grade ingredient. It can be made into a delicacy." Rhine walked over, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes. "It's a bit of a waste to roast it."
Sunders tossed the bone to the ground and inspected it. A gentle breeze had also wrapped around the bone and removed all traces of Angor's presence.
However, based on what they knew, Sunders was sure that there was someone else in this pit apart from Angor. Someone who could hunt down a Devil Hero Dao Qiong could not be weak.
Angor's body was not found here. Perhaps Angor was still alive. But judging from the bloodstains, Sunders did not think that Angor was in a good condition.
Perhaps that "wind" was the one who took Angor away.
They kept searching the pit to see if they could find any other traces. Suddenly, Rhine noticed some nightmare aura on a stone wall.
"There's something left by Angor here!"
When Sunders came over, Rhine frowned.
Rein rarely frowned, which puzzled Sunders a little. However, when he saw the message on the wall, he realized what was going on.
Leaving aside the nightmare aura that covered up the words, Toby mentioned something.
On the stone wall below, there was a record of how Toby had been contaminated by Disaster. At the same time, it reminded him that Olof's Tentacled Crab that was hunted by Frost Moon in the team that went to Sky Island was very likely to have been contaminated by Disaster.
If the message was true, it would be a big problem.
They knew very well that if they were infected by the Pilgrim of Misfortune's disaster, Skysky Island might even be destroyed. Not even truth-finder wizards could survive such a terrible disaster.
East Sea Island was a good example.
Sunders read the message and finally realized something. The strange feeling he had before, as well as the flash of inspiration he got just now, all pointed to one fact: the positive variable had collapsed by a large margin.
Whether it was the attack of a large number of demons or the failure of opening the cross-realm passage, it was all because of bad luck!
"The underground river of Shadow Cave is connected to the Silent Dead Sea," Sunders exclaimed.
"It's important. Whether it's true or not, we have to tell Sky Island as soon as possible," Rhine said.
Sunders nodded. He would send the message to Sky Island later. But right now, he was more concerned about Angor's condition.
"Angor went to Iceberg Gorge" was also revealed by the nightmare illusion.
The only place in the entire Abyss that could be called "Ice Valley" was the infamous Everlasting Ice Valley.
Considering Angor's current condition, there was no way he would go there voluntarily. He must have been coerced.
More importantly, the person who coerced Angor allowed Angor to leave the message behind, which was quite interesting.
Also, Angor must have heard about Toby's infection from someone else. The person who coerced Angor to do so must be Toby.
Not only did the person notice the disaster, but he or she also found the source of the disaster. This meant that the person was very powerful. Otherwise, he or she would have been affected by the disaster and attacked Angor.
No matter what, even if the message was a trap, Sunders had to go.
However, before going to Ice Gorge, they still needed to pass on the news of the disaster to Sky Island.
…
Angor was currently standing outside a mountain range.
Fafnir had retracted his aura and turned back into his human form. He was leaning against a tree trunk, seemingly taking a nap. However, he was actually peering into the depths of the mountain range, where he could vaguely see the shape of a snowy mountain.
"Mister Fafnir, there's still some distance between here and Ice Valley …" Angor hesitated.
"There shouldn't be any powerful monsters within a thousand kilometers of Ice Valley."
Despite Fafnir's explanation, Angor still looked at Toby, who was still sleeping soundly. No matter how safe Toby was, it would still be difficult to enter Ice Valley with him.
Seeing Angor's hesitation, Fafnir humphed and summoned a tornado under Angor's feet.
Angor screamed in pain as he was dragged into the air and fell a thousand meters away.
Angor crawled out of the rotten forest. He knew he had no other choice.
They were still close to the edge of the mountain range, and Fafnir was still watching his every move. If he tried anything funny, Fafnir would probably torture him even more.
This was the outermost layer anyway. Even if there were monsters here, they shouldn't be too powerful.
With that in mind, Angor decided to go to Ice Valley alone.
As he ventured deeper, he realized something else. Actually, Fafnir could have flown him out of the Ice Valley, but she didn't do so. Instead, she put him down a thousand miles away and let him go to the Ice Valley by himself. Did this mean that she didn't dare to meet Oderklas?
But when Fafnir was leaning against the tree trunk, she kept looking at Ice Valley with a complicated and nostalgic look, which meant she also wanted to go there.
Not because she didn't want to go, but because she didn't want to.
Was there a story behind this?
As he pondered, he took out a transparent ice cube from his pocket.
The ice was imprisoned by a powerful force. It could almost be called an ice crystal and would not be melted by physical force. Sealed within the ice was a piece of white dragon scale that was emitting a faint light. Through the reflection of the ice itself, it shone with a sparkling and translucent luster.
This frozen dragon scale was given to him by Fafnir.
Angor thought Fafnir would tell him what he wanted, but she didn't. Fafnir only left the dragon scale for him and said, "What I want to say, he will understand when he sees this dragon scale."
Angor didn't want to look at the dragon scale when he was with Fafnir. But now, he realized there was something strange about it.
Fafnir was an Abyss Wind Dragon. Her scales should be dark green instead of white like this.
Angor also learned something about Oderklas along the way. According to him, Oderklas was an Abyss Fire Dragon.
Even the scales of a Fire Dragon would not be frozen so easily by ice.
Besides, Angor didn't sense any fire energy from the white scale, which meant it didn't belong to Oderklas.
But who did it belong to then?
Angor was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly noticed a dent in the ground. He looked down and saw that it was actually a giant mouth full of sharp teeth.
Angor was startled. He quickly activated Night Crossing and flew into the air.
As he did, the giant mouth on the ground reached out from the dent.
Angor finally realized that it was a carnivorous plant.
Just like Jack's magic beans, the plant suddenly grew upward like a vine. Its giant mouth followed the vine and went straight for Angor.
Angor wasn't afraid of a plant that took root in the ground and couldn't fly no matter how hard it tried. But as soon as he thought about it, he heard a hoarse roar coming from behind him.
He looked back and saw dark clouds coming from the distance.
Angor took a closer look and realized they weren't real clouds. They were actually skeletal crows gathered together.
