In the yellow sky, there was a layer of clouds that looked like fish scales. Every time Hailig saw such a sky, he would feel as if there was a stone hanging in his heart. He always wanted to go back to a certain place and rest for the night. He did not have to worry about being attacked by the Hybrid Demons, he did not have to worry about dying, and he did not have to worry about being woken up by any noise in the night.
The awkward thing was that he did not know where that place was. Although the camp and the hive were safe, he still had the same symptoms.
Until he met Chestnut and stayed with it in the campfire. For some reason, the feeling slowly disappeared. Only later did he know that the place he wanted to go back to was called home.
Or rather, it was a place where he had family.
Seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, everyone felt more and more uneasy. They were hiding in a place that looked like a maze. The terrain here was very strange. A huge plate bulged up, but it did not form a mountain. Instead, it was shattered into concave basins by a powerful external force. Around the basin were cracks that were dozens of meters wide, making this place a valley. These strange cracks were connected to each other, forming a unique maze. Many Hunters and Hybrid Demons had mistakenly entered this place and died because they lost their way.
Caldera named it the Labyrinth of the Ancient Gods. It was a shortcut to enter the Heart of Distortion. After countless attempts, a hunter named Hu Zuo successfully passed through the labyrinth, leaving a path for future generations.
Some dirty black stones could be found in the maze. Some of them could be ignited by flames and then burned for a long time. They could provide warmth for the Hunters who spent the night there. The only downside was that they would have a strange smell.
Everyone surrounded the small pile of red stones and looked at the yellow-green flames without saying a word.
"Is it possible that Faceless is already dead?"
The Enchantress Shea was yawning in boredom, but the two people beside the bonfire, the brawny man Jurgen was putting his palms together, praying or meditating, while the dragoness was half lying on the ground drowsily.
Seeing that no one responded, she rolled her eyes and whispered that she was bored. Then she stood up and strode outside.
Soon, the sound of her footsteps disappeared.
Jurgen opened one of his eyes to take a look, then closed it again.
"Ah, it's much quieter when she's not here."
Busey said with a yawn.
The corners of Jurgen's mouth curled up slightly. He smiled and nodded, seemingly agreeing with this statement.
"Speaking of which, how can she be so annoying? I really don't understand."
Busie spread out his hands. He did not notice that Shea, who was hiding at the entrance, was pinching her nose with one hand and holding a medicine bottle with the other. At this time, she was wrapped in a gray smoke, and her whole body was a little transparent...
Hailig stood outside the camp. They were halfway up the mountain and could face the mountain that was surrounded by the Hybrid Demons. He stared at the mountain, afraid that he would miss Faceless' signal.
A faint sound of footsteps came from behind. Hailig's ears twitched, but he didn't turn around. He was still looking at the transparent stone in the distance.
"You're really hardworking, Captain."
Beauty Sala, who was shorter than Hailig, said in a mocking tone.
"I'm not the captain. Roofing is."
"If he dies, won't you be the captain?"
Her words made Helig speechless. He frowned and looked ahead worriedly.
"Or do you think you're not up to the task? Come to think of it, after all, you're not even Wei Feng, right? "
Beauty Sala looked at him with a smirk, but the latter was silent, which made her a little angry.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!"
"What's wrong?"
Hailig turned around and saw an angry face.
To be honest, he rarely looked at her like this. Beauty Sala was only half of Hailig's height. As an adult Goat, she was very short.
Dwarfism.
She had a congenital disease that caused her to be so tall. In order not to look at her strangely, the team members consciously or unconsciously avoided her gaze.
"What's wrong? You're asking me what's wrong? Do I have to tell you? Both of you are like this! Are you stupid pigs? Wind Crane is dead! Faceless might also be dead because of this unfounded prophecy! What kind of human bow is this? How can this kind of joke save Caldera! Stupid as hell! "
Shea threw a tantrum, and Helig was confused. He couldn't figure out why Shea was angry.
"Hey! Where are you going!? "
Before he finished speaking, Beauty Sala turned around and ran away. Hailig looked back. The mountain still did not change. He gritted his teeth and finally chased after the angry team member.
"Where's Busey?"
"Here. What's the matter?"
The dragon girl answered with a confused face.
Hailig returned to the camp, but because he was anxious, he called the wrong name. He shook his head.
"Sorry, I called the wrong name. Where's Shea?"
"I don't know. She just said she was bored and walked out."
What? She didn't come back. Where did she go?
Hailig was shocked. This was a maze-like canyon. Plus, it was late. She was likely to get lost.
"I'll go find her. If I don't come back tomorrow …"
"Got it. We'll continue on our own, right?"
Busey waved her hand. Hailig felt a little uncomfortable. He sighed, then took his weapon and a small glowing lantern and left the camp.
Where would she go?
Hailig hung the small lantern on his waist. Its light was not bright, but as a demon, Hailig could see the surrounding situation clearly with this weak light.
But she didn't even have a shadow. How could he find her?
Hailig mustered up his courage, called out her name, and then looked around in the dark cracks.
During this process, he kept reflecting on what he had done wrong to make her so angry. Or did she really chicken out at the last minute?
In any case, in the absence of Faceless, he had to fulfill his duty as the captain.
…
It was dark all around. Shea was panting. She was still angry.
"A group of hypocritical idiots. Do whatever you want. I'm not going to accompany you. Don't look down on me."
She cursed in a low voice. Soon, she was tired from running, so she stopped. When she looked up, she found that she was at a three-way intersection. She turned around and looked around, but she couldn't tell which path was which. She couldn't even tell which path was the one she came from.
After calming down a little, she felt a chill and fear. In this Hybrid Demon Land, she couldn't find the way back.
"Qi! Who wants to go back? Without me, you can't even get out of this mountain. "
She said stubbornly, and then walked along a road.
At this time, Hailig, who was more than ten meters away from her, was anxiously looking for her.
