Chapter 885 Search

I looked at the positions of the hidden sentries marked on the map. Although they were not densely packed, the field of view was very wide, and each hidden sentry had a response to each other. Anyone who passed through the middle would be noticed by them.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask Ren: "How do you know that they are not aware of your existence?"

However, I didn't hear Ren's voice for more than a minute after these words were spoken. Suspicious, I turned around and looked, and couldn't help but be startled: Huh? What about Ren?

My heart tightened. This Ren, who was carrying me by my side just now, why did he suddenly... eh?

At this moment, I was stunned, because I discovered that Ren was actually by my side the whole time, and he didn't even move. But at first glance, I was wrong!

In shock, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Damn it. Is this magic or fairy magic?"

"None of that," Ren said, "I just use the most common hiding method to hide my aura."

"Just the most common way to hide?" I exclaimed, "This is amazing!"

"Shh!" Ren signaled me to whisper, and then said calmly: "So, you still have a lot to learn."

"That's true. I do have a lot to learn, but the situation is special now. Can you first teach me how to hide my aura?"

"This is not difficult," Ren said. "You just need to imagine that you and everything around you are the same kind of thing."

"Oh, let me try. Imagine that you and everything around you are the same kind of thing. I am a wooden pile, a wooden pile."

I kept chanting "wooden pile" for a long time, but I didn't feel at all that I had become a wooden pile. I just felt that I was really stupid, and I was so good at it.

"Making sounds will also affect your thinking," Ren said. "It's best not to make any noise and just keep saying it silently in your heart."

"good."

I responded and began to recite the mantra that I am a wooden stake in my mind.

After reading for a while, Ren suddenly said to me: "Okay, we should go."

"Huh? Oh" I came to my senses, followed closely behind Ren, and moved forward quietly.

Along the way, I followed Ren's example, hunched over and walked very carefully, for fear of making any sound.

But fortunately, the surrounding turf was very soft and thick, and my footsteps were very steady and light when I stepped on it, and I really didn’t make any sound.

But even so, I was still so nervous that I broke into a cold sweat.

I followed Ren, and passed through the densely guarded sentinels and patrol areas at one go. Finally, we stopped behind a dirt slope. Lying down on the dirt slope, I could see the bone burial ground a hundred meters away.

"It's really not easy." I wiped my sweat and said, "Speaking of Ren, you just asked me to go with you. Did you realize that my breath has been hidden?"

"No," Renn directly denied, "I just saw the secret sentries and patrols taking over the work."

"So, it has nothing to do with hiding my aura?"

"Yes," Ren said, "And, I have to tell you seriously, your aura has not been hidden at all. What it was like before is what it is now."

Uh. I thought he suddenly said let's go together because I am a genius and can learn how to hide the breath in a very short time. I just spent a long time trying, but I didn't even learn it!

Ren looked at me deeply, and then sighed: "You still have a lot to learn, take your time, don't be in a hurry, and the most important thing is don't be discouraged, you are still very young."

These words did not comfort me at all!

Without the obstruction of patrols and the surveillance of hidden sentries, I felt so much more relaxed that I even wanted to shout.

But it is undoubtedly stupid to do so. Although it is dozens of meters away from where the patrol is, and there are layers of trees covering it, the sound is not hindered. As long as I dare to roar one moment, the patrol will be heard the next moment. It will come as quickly as a stray dog.

This metaphor is no exaggeration!

Once the patrols arrive, my plan will be completely ruined, so I have to complete everything quietly before they notice.

Ren and I continued to bend down and cautiously approached the bone burial ground. Although we knew that there would not be any elves within a hundred meters of the bone burial ground, we still had to be on alert.

A few minutes later we arrived near the burial ground.

A strong putrid smell enveloped us, like swimmers wrapped in sea water. I frowned and glanced at Ren. His face was expressionless, except for the two quills of his garlic nose, which were trembling slightly.

"How does it feel?" I asked Ren: "How is the burial ground in Biary City?"

"The smell is stronger," Ren said, "but the area is also cleaner, at least there are no swarms of flies."

I walked to the edge of the pit and looked inside. It was filled with fresh, decayed, or dried elven corpses, including those of adults and children.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but muttered: "Really, except for the royal family and nobles, wouldn't those people be willing to set up a cemetery to bury these dead?"

Renn sneered: "Civilians and poor people can only be thrown into the burial ground. This is the rule set by the legendary heroes of Zephyr Continent. It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

I sighed and wondered, "Why are you doing this?"

"In order to leave more usable land," Ren said, "but also to satisfy the selfish desires of those legendary heroes."

"Private desires?"

"Actually, it's just to show off that these lands belong to the legendary hero families and can be controlled by their desire for power."

I curled my lips: "That's really childish. Besides, even if they show off, there is no way to guarantee that their descendants will always inherit their status and glory."

"As long as they are human, who doesn't want to live in fantasy?" Renn looked down at the pile of corpses in the pit: "Those legendary heroes are nothing more than that."

"Okay, let's stop worrying about these things and finish what we have to do first." I looked around the big pit and said, "Let's look for any clues first."

Ren and I searched for the turf piece by piece and the land piece by piece. Whether it was scattered stones or black blood stains, we could not let go.

After searching for a while, I didn't find anything unusual: there was no corpse water scattered on the ground, no traces of dragging, and even the black blood stains on the ground could be confirmed to have been dripped a long, long time ago.

I raised my head a little disappointed, shook my stiff neck, and looked at Renn. Renn also stopped searching not far away. He shook his head slightly at me, and it seemed that he didn't find anything.
