Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 188 Mysterious Painting
"I can send a helicopter to take you to Nazca right now." Seeing that the group of young people in front of him were no longer angry, Osto showed some relief on his face.

But the problem still needs to be solved. Osto is a rational and calm man. He is not as reckless, arrogant and impulsive as General Mott, because this will not solve the problem. Even if they send a group of men to the Yale mine, it will be of no avail because the number of strange apes will only continue to increase.

So we must find the source, and the source of all this is Nazca. Now the Chinese students who have just experienced a strange bird attack are undoubtedly the most suitable team to go to the source.

In Nazca, everyone must follow the rules of Nazca. If you send out troops or magic corps, you will only suffer more fierce attacks. What Nazca lacks the least is numbers.

"Uncle, you just said that you would give us the resources belonging to your national team. Does that count?" Mo Fan asked.

"Of course it counts. Not only that, General Mott and his staff will solemnly apologize to you in public, and all of our royal mages will express our sincere gratitude to you, and Peru will become your home." Osto said.

Now that General Mott has been dismissed, the Royal Felipe Castle will be under the control of Osto.

"Then it's settled."

They must resolve the issue of the strange bird. Since they can gain huge benefits in the process of resolving it, how could Mo Fan not be happy?
Mo Fan walked up to Lin Ran and said, "We made a killing this time."

"Yeah." Lin Ran looked at Mo Fan and said, this Osto probably wanted them to solve this matter once and for all. He was being used as a gun, but they had to go ahead even so.

……

The helicopter soon landed at the Royal Felipe Castle. Just as Lin Ran was about to go up, Zu Jiming jumped out to object.

He didn't want to go. He didn't want to go to such a haunted place for the second time. He also didn't believe that there would be more strange birds. He thought that old man Ostor must have been fooling them on purpose.

"If you don't want to go, no one will force you. Just stay here and be a coward," Jiang Shaoxu said.

It is normal for a team to have disagreements. After Zu Jiming took the lead, Mu Tingying, Guan Yu and Li Kaifeng were also unwilling to go. Nanrong Ni had just experienced a life-and-death crisis and had not yet recovered. Obviously, she was also unwilling to go to Nazca.

"Can I...can I not go too?" Zhao Manyan said weakly at this time.

“Stop talking nonsense and leave now!” Mo Fan said bluntly.

Zhao Manyan climbed onto the helicopter somewhat helplessly.

“Let me tell you first, if you choose to stay here, Osto will also guarantee that if any strange birds attack you again, they will protect your safety. But the resources that Osto promised us will be gone for you guys.” Nan Jue said very seriously to those who did not plan to go.

"I don't care. I really don't understand. I was harmed by them like that before, but now I am so eager to work for them. I don't believe a word he says. If you want to go, go ahead!" Zu Jiming said.

“Well, take care of yourselves.” Nan Jue said without further ado.

Those who believed that a disaster was about to happen boarded the helicopter, while those who did not believe stayed in Lima.

……

The propeller was spinning at high speed. There was a blue sky above everyone's heads, but below was an orange-red wilderness. If you looked from far away, you could see some strange lines and geometric shapes distributed very irregularly on this orange-red land, extending to far away.

“Look!?” Nanyu pointed at the ground and said in surprise.

The group followed Nan Jue's instructions and discovered that the lines and shapes on the ground actually formed a giant monkey painting! !

This scene shocked the people who were heading to Nazca. They were walking on the ground before, so even if they saw these strange lines, they didn’t care much. But when they looked down at the land from thousands of meters in the air, they found that it was a huge painting spread out on the ground, and the figure in the painting was a monkey! !

"Do you still remember the creature that attacked the Yale Mine? It seems to be the thing drawn on this ground painting!" Jiang Yu said.

Before, when they were flying from Lima to the Nazca area, they learned about the mineral veins from Osto and saw some information about the strange ape, but what they had never expected was that the painting of the strange ape was actually engraved on the Nazca forbidden land. Although it was not lifelike, it was still incredible when looking down from the sky.

“Look ahead!” At this moment, Nan Jue seemed to have discovered something and shouted.

Ai Jiangtu was controlling the helicopter. He flew in the direction pointed by Nan Jue. Suddenly, many spiral patterns appeared on the ground, and many straight long lines appeared, as if a delicate instrument had made a vertical cut on the ground.

These spiral patterns and straight geodes actually formed a picture of a strange bird. Although it was just a pictographic outline, they were sure that this was the strange bird that attacked them before! !
This strange bird image was spread across the ground, slightly obscured by a cloud of mist below the plane, but this cloud still couldn't cover the entire body of the strange bird image. It was obviously even bigger and more majestic than the previous strange ape image...

This... is this the Nazca Paintings???
It's really shocking!!
Lin Ran had learned some information from Ling Ling before, but when he saw the Nazca Lines with his own eyes, he was still in an uproar! !
How on earth is this done?

Human vision is quite limited on the ground, and it is impossible to draw an accurate line that can be laid out for hundreds of meters on the ground. Ai Jiangtu and his team had stepped into this place before, but they did not discover the secret of these lines at all. This time, they were only able to make out the lines from a height of several thousand meters...

This kind of geoglyph is a very difficult project for humans to complete, and according to the information provided by Lingling, this geoglyph has existed for a long time! !
"Over there, there's a... a spider!" Jiang Shaoxu suddenly pointed in another direction and said to everyone.

There are also spider floor paintings!

The helicopter quickly changed direction, and the spider painting on the ground gradually appeared in everyone's wide field of vision. This spider painting on the ground looked more delicate, and it felt like it would suddenly pounce on the people from the ground.

These geoglyphs are so huge, and these majestic lines outline a terrifying mystery, which is completely sending a dangerous signal to people.

"If I knew these things were drawn on the ground, I would never have stepped in!" Jiang Yu said with some fear.

"Yeah, how did we get in here so confusedly before?" "We stepped into the soil of this strange bird painting before!" Jiang Shaoxu said.

“No wonder people here say this is a forbidden place. These paintings seem to be left by ancient giant gods in the world. It’s really incredible.” Nanjue said with emotion.

"So what should we do now? We've been targeted by a strange bird, how can we solve this problem?" Zhao Manyan didn't want to care about whether it was a miracle or not, he just wanted to get rid of this damn curse as soon as possible.

“Let’s go down now and see this strange bird painting.” Mo Fan said.

"You must protect me." The beautiful Jiang approached Lin Ran and said.

Lin Ran coughed and signaled her not to get too close to him.

Miss Jiang was angry.

"Boom~~~~~~!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and then the black helicopter began to fall violently to the ground while shaking.

Several people on the plane screamed. They thought they were attacked right after landing. Just as they were about to grab weapons, Ai Jiangtu's low voice came from the driver's seat. He said, "Sorry, I have only been driving for more than ten hours, so takeoff and landing are not very stable."

Ai Jiangtu was a mage, so he didn't take the flying of these military aircraft seriously.

Seeing the plane half tilted on the ground, several people were frowning. They didn't know why you had driven the Peruvian pilot away so righteously before. They were under orders to escort the plane. Even if this was a forbidden area, they could still drive in! !
"If we park a helicopter here, will we anger the God of Strange Birds?" Jiang Yu asked weakly.

“Since we’ve already offended him, let’s go and see if we can find anything else,” said Mo Fan.

Lin Ran said, "Everyone, please look carefully to see if there are any clues."

They walked among the Nazca Lines, the sun shone on the land, and the lines faintly blossomed with a little brilliance...

Walking among these huge geoglyphs, these lines look very plain, just like ordinary irrigation ditches. No one would have thought that after connecting them, it would be a shocking sight.

"Nothing at all."

"Last time we were just walking around here and didn't find or see anything. Then we were inexplicably chased by these strange birds," said Jiang Shaoxu.

"Yes, we didn't know this was a forbidden area before. We thought there might be some valuable treasures here, so we came here to explore." Zhao Manyan said.

They kept searching in the geoglyphs but still found nothing, which made them feel a little uneasy.

There is only one week left. They have already rested for a day in Lima and it took almost a day to fly here, so they don’t have much time left. If there is no progress, they will be in big trouble!
……

The giant paintings of Nazca are quietly imprinted on this magical land. These paintings are illuminated by the light of the sun and the moon, and are also eroded by strong winds, lightning and heavy rain...but their patterns have never been blurred.

Even in previous historical records, such monster disasters have appeared, but due to the constant changes in the local area, many historical documents have disappeared in the long river of history, so there has never been a correct answer to the Nazca incident.

How easy would it be for them to solve the mystery of Nazca in just a few days?
They have been sleeping in the open here for three days, but there has been no progress.

Not long ago, they saw the strange ape's ground painting, which suddenly surged with a strange white light. They also saw the spider ground painting glowing bright red in the middle of the night. In the fog at midnight, they could see groups of spiders crawling, seemingly heading towards a fixed direction.

These incredible scenes made them clearly realize that this was a forbidden place that could not be explained by magic, and they firmly believed that if they did not find out the reason for angering the Nazca bird, they would definitely be punished by the Nazca gods! !

In the cold morning, Lin Ran woke up from the tent in a daze. A short while later, Jiang Yu and Nan Jue woke everyone up excitedly.

“We are almost at the top of the mountain, to the summit of Nazca. I think I know the reason!” Nanyu said excitedly.

Several people were shocked and immediately went to Nazca Mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, they could also see the shocking geoglyphs. Under the morning light, these geoglyphs looked much more sacred. They seemed to exist to guard something. Even if the world changes, their guarding would never stop.

They looked at it from the edge of the morning light, and then noticed that the eyes of the strange bird painting were dim!
“Do you remember that when we were drawing the ground painting, there was a groove where the eyes should be? Now look, all parts of the strange bird ground painting are shining under the morning light, but the eyes are missing. The groove originally held the eyes of the strange bird, but now they have been stolen!” Nan Jue said.

The geoglyph was a complete entity, especially under the morning light, so the missing parts of the geoglyph could be seen at a glance. Nan Jue's speculation was very likely correct.

But who stole the eyes of the Nazca Bird Geoglyphs???
"Is he from our team?" Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but ask.

“Could it be that they stole it? That’s why they wanted to come here.” Zhao Manyan said.

Nanjue shook her head and said, “That’s not the case. We were in danger in the castle before, and they didn’t return the eye under such circumstances. That was really amazing. But they don’t have the courage to do that. I think it’s possible that someone stole the eye when we entered the forbidden area of ​​Nazca. After that, the Nazca bird targeted everyone who had recently entered the forbidden area. Have you forgotten that many cities in southwestern Peru were attacked and many mines were surrounded? The bird was chasing us, but the ape and spider seemed to be attacking other places. It should be said that the place they attacked was where they thought the thief was.”

"That is, they don't know who the exact thief is, so they attack everyone who is close to here at that time." someone said.

"That's right, now we have to find these thieves, otherwise we will be attacked for the rest of our lives. It's scary to think about it." Nan Yu said.
