Mystic Dominator

"Claudia? What's wrong with you!"

Hearing the movement in the communication spell, Ronald naturally asked questions immediately.

Before Claudia could speak, Heloise, who was in the midst of a tense battle, answered first:

"Ronald, we are being besieged by a strange creature! These things have a strong physique and sharp claws, and the number has reached an unmanageable number!"

"..."

After one sentence of description, Ronald immediately thought of the hunter he met on the bottom of the sea. Could it be that after these monsters were repelled, more hunters began to attack?

"Phyllis, does this kind of monster have blue-black scales, exposed teeth on the head, and particularly big eyes?"

"That's right, Ronald, you too... Get out!"

In the communication spell, Heloise had only spoken half of her words before her tone became hasty and angry. Ronald only heard this, and he could guess that the other party was dealing with the attacking hunter.

A few seconds passed, and Heloise's voice really appeared again.

"Ronald, if you know anything about this thing, tell us quickly. We have no problem dealing with a few of these monsters, but there are too many of them!"

Ronald's knowledge of hunter-gatherers was limited.

Facing Heloise's inquiry, he could only give the most direct response strategy.

"Phyllis, don't think of them as monsters without intelligence."

"This is an intelligent species that can organize actions and has the ability to communicate. Finding their leader and killing it will probably help you."

"..."

"Every time you're at a critical juncture like this, you can come up with some surprising information."

With a meaningful sigh, the conversation between Ronald and the other companions ended temporarily. On the surface of the island, the current fighting situation is very fierce. Although all the people present were highly capable spellcasters, the hunters suppressed them with overwhelming numbers.

So much so that although someone found the entrance to the ruins in the center of the island.

Nor can they now enter it as originally planned.

Ronald ended the communication with low eyes, and the mermaid lady on the side immediately said:

"People from Wuling, what happened to you?"

"The kind of monster we encountered before is currently besieging my companions on the surface."

"..."

Having gone through two battles with Ronald, Halbeth's attitude is also much better than at the beginning. Faced with such an answer, she even took the initiative to help analyze it:

"Intelligent creatures generally don't show such behavior. I think there should be someone behind the actions of these things."

Ronald nodded to agree with Miss Mermaid's statement.

Then he turned around and looked at the rock fragments that had been split open by the rhizomes of the strange plants. Although the scene was very chaotic, there was still a vaguely visible passageway going upwards.

"No matter who gives instructions, let's first consider solving the typhoon problem. Keep going, maybe there will be new discoveries."

When the voice fell, Ronald took the initiative to walk to the passage.

The mermaid lady behind her naturally followed.

The two have confirmed that the flower in front of them is the center of the magic node of the island, but they cannot destroy it due to the current situation. All they can do now is to continue to search for the possibility of dealing with this thing.

As for the strange plants still standing in the underground space...

Now that there is no enemy attacking, this thing has immediately returned to silence. If the wound caused by the previous battle is not still on it, it may continue to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals.

Bypassing the unresponsive plants, Ronald and Halbes moved the broken stones into the passage. Here is an ordinary underground tunnel. The main body made of earth and rocks has nothing special, but because of the impact of the previous battle, the road conditions in the passage are very bad.

Even if the two work together to move forward together.

This not too far distance also took them nearly a quarter of an hour.

But after they left this difficult road, the picture that appeared in front of them made one man and one fish fall into deep thought immediately.

Corpses, a large number of human corpses, are now scattered in a building like a sacrificial altar. The position where Ronald and Helbeth leave the ground is a crack in the center of the altar.

Especially at their feet, the corpse of an old man in a white robe prostrated there, and on his raised face was the despair that he still refused to believe in the picture before his death.

Analysis from the residual situation.

These people should have gathered to hold some kind of ceremony, and then they all died tragically here in an accident.

Witnessing such a scene, Haerbeth, who is not human, immediately shifted his gaze to Ronald, with a strange tone in his tone:

"Wuling people?"

"This...was your people doing it?"

Ronald immediately shook his head in denial:

"On my side, I just received an order to stop the source of this typhoon. I don't know any of these people."

After receiving an irrelevant reply from Ronald, the subtlety in Haerbeth's eyes faded away. The mermaid lady didn't care about the dense crowd of corpses around her, but walked directly out of the altar in the direction of leaving the altar.

Seeing his companion's reaction, Ronald naturally chased after him.

"Don't you take a closer look at the conditions of these people?"

"It's just a failure of the ceremony, there's nothing to study." While expressing his views on the scene, Halbeth took Ronald out, "What I'm curious about now is what is the result of their ceremony failure. Let's That plant that I met underground doesn't seem like the culprit that could make them all like this."

While talking and analyzing each other's opinions, Ronald and Halbes walked out of the altar-shaped building together.

Then, Ronald understood why this place was called a relic.

Right below the center of the island, there is an underground cavity large enough to accommodate a small town, and broken buildings and statues are almost everywhere in the field of vision.

The altar where they are now is also located in the middle of the town.

However, unlike the dilapidated appearance of other locations, this is the only thing that has been repaired.

What is more interesting is the top of this space.

A hazy layer of white mist covers the top of the cave, and the light it emits provides sufficient illumination for the entire space, as if a large cloud that is constantly glowing is hidden underground.

And as long as you look carefully, you will find that there is another mystery.

Inside the large white mist, there seemed to be a vague outline of a human face.

If Ronald remembers correctly...

This face is exactly the same as the old man who died in front of the altar!
