Chapter 505 Welcome
Chapter 505 Welcome
Even though the aura emanating from the evil spirit in front of him wasn’t that powerful, Sol remained on alert and on full alert.
Although the battle in the Valley of the Drooping Hands had happened a hundred years ago, too many wizards had died here. The chaotic spirits, coupled with the long period of repression, created many bizarre and terrifying contaminations.
However, just as Saul was still preparing to cast a sorcery to preemptively attack, Morton advised him to try not to actively attack the evil spirits here.
Some of the evil spirits appeared to be just one, but it was possible that moving one could lead to a string of them. If he accidentally stepped into a trap, it would be even more troublesome.
Morton was an old man of the Drooping Hand Valley, and although he had been mixing in the periphery for years, he was strong and knew the most about this place.
Saul listened to Morton’s advice and re-observed the hanging bodies in front of him.
The other party hadn’t shown any intention of attacking for the time being.
The diary didn’t have any hints either.
“Marsh, let’s go around against the cliff.”
The coachman nodded, glanced again at the bodies in mid-air, gulped, and carefully drove the carriage to the right.
Fortunately, the body didn’t have any objections to the carriage’s “detouring behavior”, and was still hanging on the left side of the cliff.
However, when the carriage passed the corpse and started to walk towards the far side, Saul, who was staring at the corpse, realized that the corpse was still staring at him.
It turned out that the highly decomposed corpse at some point, suddenly turned in a small half circle, and the face that was already half a skeleton kept facing Saul, as if it was afraid that he would run away.
As the carriage continued to move, the corpse’s position continued to change, it turned a little bit more, and was always staring at Saul’s direction.
“Is it staring at me?” Saul muttered.
Even the mighty Morton felt uneasy about what was in front of him, although he was a second-ranked in life, his soul was broken after death, and he was not the strongest evil spirit in this place. The strongest ones were the evil spirits that were close to the Masterless Land, and at the same time, they were also the most contaminated.
The other consciousnesses in the diary didn’t speak either.
The few remaining Consciousnesses knew that they couldn’t help much here, and one by one, they all stayed quiet so as not to disturb Morton and Sol’s conversation.
Morton: [This …… I’m not sure. But we didn’t actively provoke it, so we shouldn’t be targeted, right?”]
Even though the diary had no warning for the time being, Saul didn’t let his guard down.
He asked the driver to slightly accelerate his speed a bit, and distracted himself by staring ahead while keeping a close eye on the corpse that had been shaken off.
Unexpectedly, when the corpse was about to exit the line of sight of several people, it suddenly raised its hands and made a swinging motion like a puppet on strings. Both feet also swayed from side to side.
“What is it doing?” Saul asked the few conscious beings in the diary to take a look at the corpse in front of him as well.
Ann guessed somewhat cautiously, [Is it dancing?]
The few older men who had been clueless took a look, and it still seemed true!
The good thing was that the corpse showed no other abnormal behavior besides dancing.
The carriage continued to go in, the cliffs on both sides got closer and closer, and even met the human head monsters!
Those human-headed monsters hid in the cracks of the rocks, and if Saul hadn’t been maintaining his meditative thoughts, I’m afraid he would have missed the skin the same color as the rocks with even paler eyes.
These human-headed monsters left a deep impression on Sol.
They silently ate the bodies of several senior apprentices, and even Billy and Wright, who were notoriously strong, were unable to escape from the head monsters.
Herman: [Morton, weren’t you the leader of these human-headed freaks? Can you directly order the human-headed freaks to retreat now?”]
Morton: [If I could, I would naturally be willing to order those head monsters. But the truth is, the power that really gives me the power to drive these monsters is still from the pollution itself. Now that I’ve detached myself from the contamination, I’ve naturally severed my ties with these human-headed monsters as well.”]
Hearing Morton say this, Saul was naturally a little disappointed. However, he quickly adjusted, knowing that he couldn’t be led astray by inertia.
At this moment, the human-headed monsters were already getting closer and closer to the carriage, and with legless feet and a head on top of them, they surrounded them with great agility.
Saul sacrificed his Dark Spirit Blade and just wanted to face these human faced monsters head on, when he saw that the human head swayed and stopped a few meters away …… as if it had also danced.
They surrounded Saul, jumping and jumping, sometimes landing on the left foot, sometimes landing on the right foot, just like a ball that was slapped on the ground. But these human head monsters surrounded Saul, but they did not block the access road.
That is to say, Saul could still pass through the head monsters and move on.
“Marsh.”
“Hey.” Marsh responded cautiously as well.
“Keep the wagon moving and be careful not to fall into the pit in the ground.” Saul barked.
Marsh nodded and glanced at the human head monster on the ground with his afterglow for a few moments, and hurriedly lowered his head, using his years of driving experience to calm the horses, before slowly traveling forward.
After gradually going deeper into the Drooping Hand Valley, the road had already changed from the original flatness to the previous barrenness. And there were more potholes on the ground.
These potholes were the same as the potholes on the periphery of the Drooping Hand Valley, all of them were holes in the ground left behind in order to look for survivors, or to steal the inheritance, so one still had to be careful when walking here.
Those human-headed monsters were also not affected by Saul’s departure, and continued to bounce around Saul’s original position, the sound of stomping on the ground gradually forming a melody.
Agu: [Are they dancing with the corpse that was just hung up?
Saul recalled the dance moves of the hanging corpse, and then looked at the leaping human-headed monsters on the ground.
“Yes. Head monsters don’t have arms and legs, so dancing would be very strange, just stomping their feet.”
AN: [But what are they dancing for again?
The minotaurs didn’t attack until the wagon pulled away, and Saul and his conscious beings didn’t figure out the purpose of the dance.
But after Saul moved a hundred meters away from the human-headed monsters, it could be heard from the sound that the human-headed monsters’ dance began to become messy, turning into frantic jumping and stomping on the ground, no longer having the sense of melody and beauty it had just had.
Anne seemed to have thought of something, but was even more puzzled.
[Why do they seem to be welcoming us?
Herman: [Ann, that’s a bold thought!
Ann doesn’t say anything.
The wagon continues to move slowly, and the holes in the ground begin to thin out again.
But then the sound of water flowing came from below a handful of caves.
It seemed that there was a dark river underground.
This dark river was obviously not simple either.
The horse that drove the car was blindfolded and walked quite steadily at first, but for some reason it began to shake its head, and in no time at all it even fluttered its tongue, stomped its limbs, and began to dance as well.
The frequency of that stomping was very similar to the human-headed monster just now.
Saul released a stabilizing spell, and the horse calmed down a bit, but before long, it suddenly ran as fast as it was frightened, and it looked like its wheels were going to sink into a hole in the ground in front of it.
Saul raised his hand, ready to cast a spell. But then he saw a huge human face suddenly appear!
The giant face was as big as the entrance of the cave. With the emergence of the giant face, the cavern was filled into flat ground, directly over the wheels of the wagon, allowing the wagon to make a smooth transition.
The wheels drove by, leaving two ruts in its face. Instead of getting angry, it opened its mouth and laughed.
With this oozing laughter, more and more faces appeared from the darkness below, blocking the hole in the ground in front of it, as if paving the way for Saul’s wagon.
Agu muttered, [Are they really welcoming us?]
