Outside of the desolate village, the black soil continued to spread outwards.
On the black soil, dried bloodstains appeared, looking as good as new.
"Sir … are we really going in?"
In the outside world, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Sitting on the horse, Saul revealed a bitter smile as he looked at Adil and asked.
"This is already the outer area of the forbidden area, there are no signs of life. If we continue to go in, I'm afraid that we will encounter some strange things."
He revealed a bitter smile as he looked at Adil and advised, "If you have any needs, you can send people to explore later, there is no need to personally go to the forbidden area and take the risk."
These were his true thoughts.
During this period of time, they had a deep understanding of Adil's martial strength.
Even those terrifying monsters that could destroy a small army could not last more than a few moves against Adil.
This kind of martial strength could be said to be shocking in this world. Even someone like Saul, who had seen many things, couldn't help but feel excited after seeing it.
With this kind of power, he could live well wherever he went, why would he need to take the risk in those forbidden areas?
"If you guys don't want to go in, then wait for me outside."
Hearing Saul's words, Adil's expression didn't change as he looked at them and said.
"This … alright."
After hesitating for a moment, Saul finally nodded and didn't say much.
"Let's stop here."
After a while, after walking to a certain place, Adil opened his mouth and signaled for the others to stop here before continuing to walk inside.
Behind him, looking at Adil's back, Saul felt a bit hesitant.
In front of them was the forbidden area. In this kind of dangerous place, if they dared to follow Adil in, they might be able to gain some goodwill from him.
However, they also had to consider the danger of the forbidden area. Although the martial strength that Adil had displayed during this period of time was shocking, if they really encountered those terrifying monsters, it would be very dangerous and he might not be able to take care of them. In the end, they might be trapped inside.
Thinking to here, he didn't hesitate anymore and looked at his followers and said, "We will wait here, remember not to run around."
At the side, hearing his words, the others nodded silently.
In front of him, Adil's figure slowly walked past.
He walked all the way to the gate of the village before he stopped and looked ahead silently.
At this moment, in front of them was the ruins of a village.
There were dust and bloodstains everywhere. It was like a battlefield that had been silent for hundreds of years.
"High energy radiation detected …" In his mind, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded.
Hearing the A.I. Chip's prompt in his mind, Adil's heart stirred slightly, and he directly strode in.
Upon entering, a faint smell of blood came from afar. It was faintly discernible, yet extremely distinct.
Adil didn't react to the smell and continued to walk forward calmly.
Unbeknownst to him, his surroundings had begun to change.
There was a bit of noise in the originally frighteningly quiet ruins.
Hearing these voices, Adil was slightly startled. He could not help but turn around and look ahead.
The surrounding scenery began to change.
On top of the ruins, houses rose from the ground. They all looked quite old.
In every part of the village, villagers were continuously walking around, doing their own things, looking very busy.
However, what was strange was that standing in the village, the villagers acted as if they didn't see Adil at all. They were all doing their own things, not a single one paying attention to him.
Standing in the crowd, Adil had a strange feeling of being isolated by the entire world.
Hehehe …
The sound of children's laughter came from afar, attracting Adil's attention.
He looked towards the end of the village. There, a few children were playing and playing, occasionally letting out crisp laughter, which was very lovable.
They laughed and quickly ran towards Adil's direction, seemingly not noticing Adil who was standing in front of them.
"Ya!"
A crisp sound of collision could be heard. A little boy fiercely knocked onto Adil's body and directly fell onto the ground, letting out a series of sounds.
After falling onto the ground, the boy shook his head, as if he didn't understand why he fell, so he raised his head and looked towards the front.
"Big brother … you knocked into me."
Seemingly discovering something, looking at Adil who was standing in front of him, the boy's face wrinkled and said with grievance.
As the boy opened his mouth, the surrounding world immediately returned to silence.
Staring at the boy in front of him in Silence, Adil's expression was calm, without any reaction.
Unknowingly, figures surrounded him one after another.
Those were the villagers of the village. Right now, they were standing around Adil. Different faces were expressionless and cold as they stared at him blankly.
"Illusion?"
Sensing everything around him, this thought flashed past Adil's mind.
Before he could do anything, the surrounding scene changed again.
Drops of black and red blood continuously flowed down, and under Adil's gaze, bloody scars and wounds appeared on the faces of the surrounding villagers, covering their entire faces, making them look badly mutilated.
And in front of him, the skin on the boy's body began to disappear, leaving behind only bloody flesh.
He stood there and continuously let out painful howls, looking very terrifying.
A bit of fire energy particles quickly gathered in front of Adil, forming a fireball that carried a berserk aura, and fiercely smashed onto the boy's body.
Ah!
A sharp howl of pain could be heard.
Under Adil's gaze, the fireball passed by the boy's badly mutilated body and fiercely smashed onto the ground, creating a two-meter wide fire pit on the ground.
In the next moment, the scene suddenly changed, and the originally quiet environment once again became noisy.
Adil turned around and looked at his surroundings.
Behind him, the originally badly mutilated figures had already disappeared. In the houses far away, the villagers that looked no different from ordinary people were currently busy with their work, looking very natural.
Hehehe …
Children's laughter could be heard in front of him once again.
Under Adil's gaze, a few children in front of them were running towards them, frolicking. One of the boys was the same as the last time, he directly ran towards Adil.
But this time, when the boy was about to run over, Adil's body slightly leaned to the side, directly dodging the boy's figure, not being touched by the boy.
The child laughed and ran far away, his figure gradually disappearing from the village.
However, in the next moment, Adil's gaze froze.
In front of him, a series of laughter could be heard again, and a few children were quickly running towards him. Compared to before, there was no change at all.
… …
"It has already been half an hour, is he still not out yet?"
A few hundred meters away from the village, on a piece of barren land, Saul and the others stood at the same place in Silence. Right now, they were looking at the village that was faintly visible from afar, and their expressions were somewhat grave.
"Lord, could it be that His Excellency Knight …"
At the side, a black-robed guard looked at the village, and his expression was also very grave as he spoke obscurely.
Hearing what he said, the surroundings fell into silence, and only the sound of the wind passing by their ears could be heard.
"We will wait for another half an hour."
Looking at the existence that was far away, Saul said with a grave expression, "After half an hour, if that His Excellency Knight still hasn't appeared, we will retreat to a place further away and continue to wait."
"Yes!" The few people around him responded.
"Ah!" A cry of surprise suddenly sounded.
"What happened?" The expressions of the few people around him immediately tensed up, and they reflexively held onto their weapons, then looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
"Blood … so much blood …"
At the side, Ariel looked towards her side in fear.
Behind her, there was a small pit, and within the pit, there was blackish-red blood that was continuously emitting out a foul smell.
There was some dry grass covering the pit, and that was why they didn't discover it before, and only now did they see it.
Looking at each other, Saul and the others' expressions immediately became grave.
At the side, a black-robed guard pulled out the long blade on his waist and slowly walked towards the small pit.
The black-robed guard carefully approached the pit, and when he reached a certain distance away from the pit, he directly used the blade to pick out the dry grass, revealing the scene that was covered by the blood.
It was a two meter wide pit, and it looked very deep, and it was completely covered by blackish-red blood.
And on top of the blood, a sinister looking human head appeared in Silence. Every inch of skin on the head was dripping with blood, and a pair of blood-colored eyes that were filled with hatred froze at the moment before death.
If one were to look carefully, one would be able to discover that the human head wasn't too big, and it should be a child's head. Furthermore, the skin on the surface of the head had been peeled off, and it looked very scary.
"Damn it …"
Looking at this scene, the expressions of the few people at the scene didn't look good.
Standing on the spot, the black-robed guard clenched his teeth and directly used the long blade in his hand to touch the head.
Along with a slight sound, that scary human head was taken out from the blood, and it directly rolled onto the black ground.
"Huuu …"
Looking at this scene, Saul let out a sigh of relief, and the string that was originally taut in his heart also loosened, "It's fine, it's just a human head, it's nothing much."
Standing around him, the other black-robed men also secretly let out a sigh of relief, and they were no longer as nervous as before.
Living in this world, to people like them, they had seen at least 800 corpses, if not a thousand, a mere human head that had been peeled off was nothing much at all.
As long as it wasn't as strange as a soul of a corpse, and it was just a corpse, no matter how scary it was, it wouldn't cause them to be afraid.
Even Ariel, this young lady, had seen corpses more than once or twice due to her years of scavenging in the wilderness. At this moment, when she saw the human head, her face only paled a little, and she didn't have much of a reaction.
Towards this interlude, they didn't mind at all.
However, what they didn't realize was that on the original blood hole, as the human head left its original position, little ripples started to appear.
