Chapter 377 35. Ten Children from the Bottom of the Nest
“Wild Dog, do you still know the next way?”
Some ashes fell on Annan’s black hair, highlighting the gray. If there is a seemingly nonexistent burning smell, it permeates the surroundings.
"As long as there is light, there are people..." The wild dog got out of the range of the illumination spell and turned into a blurry shadow in the distance. Not long after, he came back and pointed to the left: "There is light over there. ! ”
“Let’s go. ”
The words of the old witch doctor, "Stay where there is light", came to Annan's mind.
Leaving a row of black footprints in the gray snow, they did not waste the remaining magic power and walked towards the gathering place not far away.
Sparse light dotted the distance. It was a town about the same size as Dark Light Town, flickering in and out of the snow that set all the time.
They are getting closer and closer, but there is no warmth from this town far away from the penal colony...
The silhouettes lying outside the street make them appear ominous, and they can be seen everywhere Their bodies made their ominousness even more intense.
There was no living person in this town.
The pervasive smell of blood even covered up the burning smell brought by the ashes. The empty houses glowed with an eerie light. Because of the ashes, people here planted fluorescent fruits in the houses.
“It’s the same academy that killed the Queen Ant’s stronghold.”
Annan said after checking the wounds on several corpses.
The dead include old people, women, children, and more of them men. Many people who deserved to die, and those who did not deserve to die, followed this town into silence.
"They went too far..."
Amy whispered, representing the thoughts of others.
Although they are aloof and indifferent to the life and death of the people in the bottom nest, they will not take the initiative to kill innocent people in the bottom nest. Now, a college massacred the queen's stronghold and then massacred the town...
A sound of footsteps suddenly came from the darkness.
They knew the girls from the Freya Holy Academy at the academy that appeared.
"Not us!"
Raising his staff and alert, Theophilus explained, "We just came here too!"
At this moment, the rat on Annan's back The little girl woke up and moved a little.
“She woke up.”
The young female mages noticed the little girl, then saw the wild dog, and finally frowned and checked the wounds on the body: “They are all weapon wounds. Those mudbloods did it.”
An elite mage couldn't do it even if he wanted to slaughter the town and squeeze it dry, but an elite warrior could do it if he was so tired that he stuck out his tongue.
In addition, Annan was carrying a "rat man" on his back, so they lowered their guard.
"Theophilus, just talk to them and tell the truth." Annan said, "Let's find a 'clean' place first."
Let Theophilus To tell the truth was to arouse the other party's greed, and to allow Theophilus to communicate was to facilitate his resistance when being kidnapped. If Alice was caught, she would have no choice but to give in.
They found a room without a body, and Annan put down the weak little girl. She immediately rushed to the fluorescent fruit and ate it, indifferent to the food Alice took out. Then she stopped when the transparent abdominal cavity was emitting fluorescent bulges. Like Lily, she squatted on all fours in front of Annan, covering her eyes with cloudy eye masks. His eyes were directed toward Annan, but he didn't feel like he was being watched.
"Can you understand me?"
There was no response, Annan asked Amy to use her last magic to release Common Language Mastery.
The spell fell on the little girl, flickering into annihilation.
"Common language proficiency has failed..." Amy was stunned.
It’s not that the spell casting failed, but that proficiency in Common Language has a prerequisite—it can only be effective on intelligent life.
This means that the little girl has transformed into a pure beast.
When Annan and the others fell into silence, footsteps sounded from outside the house, and Theophilus came over with the girls from Freya Sacred Academy.
"Annan Reeves, we want to cooperate with you."
Their captain, a girl with a side ponytail, stared at Annan's face with bright eyes.
"I don't want to." Annan declined her proposal: "I know what you want to do...I will find them and punish them."
"I wish you success."
The girl with side ponytail just wished her a blessing, looked at Annan a few more times and went out.
"What the hell...what did I see? A warlock actually rejected a woman..." Amy muttered.
"If it were from other races, they wouldn't refuse." Alice replied, looking at the little girl who tilted her head and seemed to be listening: "What should she do?"
"If she's still following us, take her with us first."
Annan and the others left the house. The little girl turned around a few times, picked off the fluorescent fruit, and then crawled over.
The girls from Freya's Holy Academy had already left. They came directly to the edge of the town, but the messy footprints left on the snow could not identify the murderer at all.
"Who knows the tracing technique?" Annan asked.
"I can use maze magic." Alice said.
"Can the maze spell still find people?"
"I just need to change the 'exit' to 'their target'."
This is useless to a group of mages. When the prophecy spell appears, they will They would notice, but the Mudbloods were so stupid that they couldn't even feel it when the goddess of magic touched her face.
Alice began to cast a spell, while Annan was wondering if the goddess of magic could feel it when she touched her.
“Found it.”
Alice's staff pointed deep into the ash layer.
"Let's go. Amy has no magic power, Theophilus, you come to cast the spell."
"Do we really want to catch them? I'm not refusing, but It will cost us a lot of time..." Theophilus hesitated.
"Don't worry, the golden invitations on them will not waste our time."
Annan picked up the quiet little girl, and the team with the light feather technique followed Alice Set off under the guidance.
It was difficult for the bottom nest to tell the time. They didn't know how much time had passed before they saw a standing wooden sign with disturbing graffiti painted on it.
“There is a small town ahead!” The wild dog suddenly exclaimed.
“You know?”
He said that the town is full of children. Amy didn’t believe it: “How can a group of children survive in the bottom nest?”
The words fell and echoed The song came from the depths of the falling ashes:
"Ten people from the bottom of the nest are running around for food; one chokes to death and cannot be saved, and only nine out of ten are left."
"Nine people from the bottom of the nest are so sleepy that they can't sleep late at night; they fall asleep and die. , there are only eight left out of nine.”
“The eight bottom nesters went hunting in the thick fog; leaving one there, there are only seven left out of eight.”
“Seven. The people in the bottom nest caused trouble and broke the wall; their heads exploded and they died, leaving only six out of seven."
"The six people in the bottom nest played with the evil spirits and made them angry; Only five left out of six.”
"Five people from the bottom of the nest, afraid of the thick fog, went to warm the fire; they were haunted by the flames until they died, and only four of the five were left."
"Four people from the bottom of the nest, went out together and suffered a disaster; the monster swallowed a bloody one, There are only three left out of four. "
"Three people from the bottom of the nest, disaster occurred in the school building; dead bodies suddenly fell from the sky, and there were only two left from the three."
"Two people from the bottom of the nest. , There is a sigh under the beam; the hanging rope from the sky is sad, only one of the two is left. "
"A person from the bottom of the nest, only one person comes back; the hanging beam commits suicide in this life, and there is no one left. ”
Amy turned her head stiffly, there were eight of them, the wild dog, and the little girl... exactly ten of them.
