"Dead people?" Dianmo Ran Qingzhu seed to get stuck, "Wait, Sister Nether, are you saying the Jiefulite Red Cloak Team was wiped out?"
As his voice fell,
everyone seed to suddenly think of this possibility.
It was like a cold breeze blew through, making everyone involuntarily close their mouths.
For a mont, only the flickering light of the torches could be heard in the darkness, crackling, while all other sounds quietly subsided into such silence that one could hear a pin drop.
That was an Elite Corps, and there was also a group from the Blood Oath Alliance. How could they have disappeared without a trace? Although the Jiefulite Red Cloak Team was not one of the top ten Grand Guilds, they had the strength to be one. There was so difference in level, but not so vast as to be night and day.
What in the world happened down there?
"I didn't say that, everyone," Nether squinted her eyes, then replied, "I was just expressing a possibility."
"But there's another possibility," KUN hypothesized, "and that is that the Jiefulite Red Cloak Team did not tell the truth."
People couldn't help but turn their gaze toward Fang Hong.
Fang Hong didn't speak.
He just lifted the crystal in the palm of his hand towards the crowd and said, "Request for video transmission signal."
"Understood," ca a voice from the military personnel in the communication channel, "Transferring to intelligence center."
After so static noise, the channel seed to change, and soone humd softly inside.
Only Nether squinted her eyes and looked over in that direction.
A holographic projection emanated from the crystal in Fang Hong's palm and landed in front of everyone. It was an image of a Night Lizard person's corpse taken earlier.
"This is the corpse of a Night Lizard person, captured three minutes ago," ca a cold female voice from the channel, probably Viurs' analysis, "You can all see what changes it undergoes in the next three minutes."
Ti sped up, and within monts, the corpse began to decay and instantaneously turned into a cloud of black smoke.
And the black smoke, like water, slowly seeped into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
Including Sophie, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
This was the second ti Fang Hong had seen this scene, but his heart was still sowhat shocked. However, the cold beauty from the Elite spoke in an unchanged voice, "What you are witnessing is the process of Dark Force devouring and decomposing life force—Starlight. This happened just three minutes ago, right after your combat ended."
"According to information transmitted back by Mr. Xiaya, seventy percent of the corpses on the entire battlefield have now completely disappeared in this manner, which is vastly different from our normal understanding."
"Normally, corpses left behind by the extinguishing of Starlight remain for a long ti, until they naturally decompose, and parts like bones, which are difficult for microorganisms to break down, can even be preserved for decades or centuries."
"Hold on, what the hell is this? Why don't I understand any of this? Or is it so kind of evil Black Magic?" The silent, black-clad burly man finally couldn't remain silent and asked after witnessing the scene.
He looked at the 'holographic projections' with suspicion, because, as the crystal's projection was made of visible light, ordinary people could also access the information without any trouble.
As for Hilveld and her subordinates standing opposite, they stayed close to Fang Hong, silent and thoughtful.
anwhile, the Lizard Warrior Leader not far away saw the scene and revealed a look of terror, struggling to let out hissing screams while retreating backwards.
And Fang Hong turned his head just as Tata inford him that what the other party said was, "Evil Black Magic!"
Fang Hong nodded and took note of the creature's reaction.
"This is a Blood Pool," then he responded to the others.
"This is a Blood Pool," Tata simultaneously translated in his mind, "Mr. Knight."
"The Blood Pool has always been one of the most evil rituals, where Cultists of the Evil God offer flesh and souls to so great unknown entities in the Dark Abyss, in exchange for the apparent arrival of the Evil God in the world."
"Since it occurs in Osh, a land that venerates Magic, such rituals are absolutely taboo. The Empire has a religious tribunal where many Cultists skilled in these rituals are imprisoned."
At the sa mont, the Elite's Miss Natural Historian was also introducing this sinister Spell to the crowd in an equally calm voice.
After speaking, she appeared sowhat surprised as she looked at Fang Hong, evidently not expecting him to also be knowledgeable about these matters.
How much does this man know?
Is he really a rookie?
"Blood Pool?" Sophie frowned, a light of realization flashing in her heart, "So the twelfth layer actually isn't the Dead Silence Zone, but rather a huge Ritual Ground?"
Fang Hong nodded.
That was indeed the case, and he also recalled another matter. The Lonely White Field had once told him that people had discovered the Dead Silence Zone below in the past, yet not everyone who ventured into the depths of the ruins encountered it.
Even the Lonely White Field had personally gone to investigate but ultimately ca back empty-handed.
As is well known, the Dead Silence Zone is perpetual.
But the Ritual would not always be the sa.
"I see," Dianmo Ran Qingzhu also understood, "No wonder Toragotos didn't want us to co down. The Silver Weslan, being stronger in combat and more fitting his requirents, should have been allowed. But if Toragotos intended to have everyone kill each other here as sacrifice, this all makes sense—"
"Because Silver Weslan, in its view, might be too strong. At an equal Level 15, we are the ones most likely to disrupt its plans."
