Chapter 366: The Dry Marissa Spring (2)

"what!"

"I seem to feel a special power."

On the new road, Qiu Chief and his group had not walked far when he had a special feeling. Qiu Chief reminded the team and followed the feeling to the place that gave him the special feeling.

"There seems to be something down here."

Chief Qiu pointed to an open space on the side of the road.

"Everyone, be alert. Brother Qiuqiu, use your skills to deliver the things."

Angelica said as she directed her teammates to gather around.

Whether it was because Bethcode overused the ancient ruins device last time, or because it was slow to recreate monsters, Chief Qiu and his men hadn't been attacked by undead monsters when they arrived. So, after a brief moment of vigilance, they relaxed somewhat.

But now, having arrived at this new section of the road, their previous mindset had to change. Seeing that the team was a little disengaged, Angelica deliberately used her command to wake them up.

"Don't bother. It doesn't seem to be very deep."

As Chief Qiu spoke, he stabbed the ground a few times with his magic sword, and a clod of earth came out of the ground.

Chief Qiu exerted a little force, and the mud was moved away, revealing a piece of aqua-blue gem fragment.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

As soon as this gem was exposed, it seemed to absorb the power of the moonlight. Not only did it emit bright light, but the moonlight in the sky also seemed to converge towards it.

As for beautiful things, Charlotte, a little girl who acts faster than her brain, has already taken it into her hands before her enemy.

Chief Qiu shook his head with a wry smile and touched Charlotte's head lovingly.

After Chief Qiu let go of the somewhat shy Charlotte, the team continued along the path of the village and went deeper into the interior.

After getting the first sample from Chief Qiu, Angelica became even more certain that the destination of this trip was Marissa Springs.

Because, according to the records Angelica saw, there were many similar items in the village.

Once upon a time, the villagers considered these gems novel and precious toys. To express their gratitude for Marissa Spring's continued presence, they even threw many of these gems into the small pool formed by the spring. On moonlit nights, the reflections of the water and the moonlight complemented each other, and the gem fragments in the water resembled tiny stars in the sky. For the villagers at that time, this was a rare and beautiful sight.

But on the day the tragedy occurred, the gemstone shone brighter than usual. Just as people were celebrating the tragedy, the brilliance suddenly faded and disappeared completely.

From that day on, misfortunes began to plague the village. When the villagers left, they considered the stones a bad omen and abandoned them. The largest number of broken gemstones was found in Marissa Springs.

Based on the above records, Angelica had no intention of dispersing and searching in more places.

With some of the information mentioned by Aljeta, Angelica also had some guesses about what happened that year.

These fragments, as unique ancient artifacts, are capable of autonomously absorbing energy. Perhaps someone activated them, or perhaps some unknown factor, such as the gem fragments themselves, caused the energy within the gems to be absorbed by the ruins. This energy then activated several devices within the ruins, including one that summoned the undead.

These energy-generated undead were given the responsibility of guarding the ruins. Therefore, they remained within the originally designated area of ​​the ruins, following their assigned program to protect the ruins from invasion by other creatures.

When Angelica figured out the general reason, she couldn't help but shake her head with a wry smile. As expected, the more you understand, the more you realize your own ignorance.

Because this matter had little to do with the prophet, Angelica didn't have time to tell the story to everyone.

Angelica guessed that the fragments in the enemy chief's hands were probably found and thrown on the road by the villagers when they fled.

Not long after Chief Qiu and his group continued walking along the team, they unexpectedly encountered undead creatures again.

Because they were in a deeper area, Chief Qiu and his group encountered a group of ghosts with intermediate professional strength at the outermost edge, and then a group of skeleton warriors with primary professional strength, who were ambushing on a wider path ahead.

The ghosts dissipated, hiding in the subspace at a certain height above the ground, while the skeleton warriors were buried deep within the ground. Perhaps because no one had been around for too long, the bodies of the skeleton warriors were buried in the mud.

If Charlotte's intuition had not given her an early warning, Chief Qiu and the others would have sensed the breath of the undead only belatedly.

These monsters, however, were completely useless obstacles to the Qiu Chieftain team. Because they were energy-based creatures, they left no valuable remains. The disparity in strength meant that the Qiu Chieftain team couldn't easily break through their current level as they had in the past.

Because these monsters don't produce valuable items, few adventurers venture here to trouble them. Similarly, the ancient ruins visited by the Qiu Chieftain team at the Kaidra checkpoint have drawn little attention for this very reason. However, after the ruins were repurposed, the energy creatures at Kaidra have found new uses.

After some effort, Chief Qiu and his group solved these obstacles.

However, as they continued to advance, the number of monsters encountered by Qiu Chief's team increased, and even new types of monsters appeared. After dealing with a few relatively easy groups of Skeleton Warriors and energy spheres similar to Warcraft's Gremlins, Qiu Chief's group encountered several Bro monsters and Flame Mages.

With the fearless skeleton warriors as the front line, these Bro monster wizards could easily bully the adventurers who mainly use melee combat.

Unfortunately, Qiu Chief had more ranged units. With Comerina happily paddling, the three ranged units, led by Qiu Chief, easily killed the back row. However, the front row of skeleton warriors, due to their numbers, died after the Buluo monsters.

The appearance of the Bro Monster Wizard was actually reminding Chief Qiu and the others that the monsters in front of them might change.

But the pressure-free battle made Chief Qiu and his men relax their vigilance.

Soon, just as Charlotte sensed an undead ambush ahead, and while Qiu Chief's men were focusing their main efforts on the ghouls emerging from the ground ahead, a swarm of spiders emerged from a more sinister corner. Then, they easily surrounded Qiu Chief's team.

However, these monsters weren't very strong. The Qiu Chiefs team managed to defeat them without any danger. Meanwhile, Angelica realized that Charlotte's perception was sometimes unpredictable. But when encountering the weaker, more hidden monsters just now, Charlotte's perception hadn't anticipated this little surprise.

This small accident wasn't too dangerous for the current situation. But if there were ordinary people in the team, this situation, which was completely harmless to Charlotte, could cost the lives of ordinary people if she wasn't careful.
