Chapter 107 106 There Is No Place for Us in This World

Chapter 107 106. There is no place for us in this world

When collecting information, most of the content about the Silent Mountains is mysterious and terrifying, so the Silent Mountains in Lu Yu's mind are inevitably associated with darkness, gloom, and depression.

However, the facts surprised Lu Yu and his party.

It was midsummer. Lu Yu came to the Silent Mountains in the early morning and greeted the first ray of sunlight shining on the earth. He could clearly see the lush trees on the rolling mountains.

The roars of beasts and the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests were no different from the woods that Lu Yu passed on the way.

Because of the abnormal phenomenon that broke out in the Silent Mountains, no one has set foot in the Silent Mountains for many years. The trees here are growing wildly, and the huge tree canopies are like a giant umbrella.

A large number of flying beasts and monsters live on these huge tree canopies. Lu Yu can see these monsters fighting in the air from time to time. The end of the battle often means the death of one of them.

After walking for a while, Lu Yu saw the signboard left by the Soleisen guards who evacuated the people around the Silent Mountains. This means that the area behind the signboard is the real Silent Mountains area.

Lu Yu ordered all members to confirm their equipment and status and be ready to meet the enemy.

According to the known information, the monsters in the Silent Mountains are extremely active.

Sigrid put on brass knuckles and adjusted the dagger on her waist to a position where she could be pulled out at any time.

Lulutis stretched out two tentacles and raised two small bottles of powder, which looked like two black ponytails grown by the black fog.

The fog monster also changed its form and turned its form into a ghost face, ready to scare the crazy monsters at any time.

Lu Yu glanced at the four paintings that Lulutis drew for him, imprinted their figures in his mind, and then went over the content that had been set.

"Let's go!"

As Lu Yu raised his foot and stepped over the signboard, this place regarded as a forbidden area by countless Soleisen people once again welcomed new guests after many years.

The weather today is very good, with no clouds and bright sunshine. Even after entering the Silent Mountains, there is no sign of change.

There is no gloomy or weird atmosphere at all. Lu Yu and his group, who are carrying their bags, are more like travelers looking for a place to go outing.

However, the fog monster and the magic meter in Lu Yu's hand soon gave them a sense of entering the Silent Mountains.

The fog monster, born from magic, is made of magic all over her body, so she is very sensitive to the changes in magic.

As Lu Yu and his group move forward, the fog monster can still move around with a ghost face at first, but gradually, her body begins to become heavy.

The thinning of the surrounding magic makes the fog monster feel panic instinctively, and her perception of the surroundings is also declining.

For this reason, she has to shrink to Lu Yu's side and move with Lu Yu.

The meter can more intuitively show the abnormality of the Silent Mountains.

If we use a scale of one to ten, the average value of magic is around six, which is normal.

Outside the Silent Mountains, the magic meter shaped like a thermometer showed that the magic level was still within the standard range.

Now, the value given by the magic counter is close to four, which is nearly reduced by half.

And Lu Yu has only walked for half a day and has not gone deep into the Silent Mountains.

Lu Yu did not choose to march quickly. The exploration plan he set was based on stability.

First confirm the situation in the outer area of ​​the Silent Mountains, find out some basic conditions, and then continue to go deeper.

At noon, Lulutis looked at the sun and asked Sigrid to take out the pills that can be immune to hallucinations, and each person took one.

During the activities in the Silent Mountains, Lu Yu and others would take pills that can be immune to hallucinations throughout the process, and remember the time when the drug effect is about to expire and take the medicine in advance.

They really don’t know what exactly can cause hallucinations here, so they can only avoid hallucinations in this way.

When Lu Yu took the medicine, he saw several sika deer standing in the shade of trees not far away, looking at them curiously.

The little sika deer probably had never seen people before, so they were not afraid of Lu Yu and others at all. They actually came over while chewing grass, and the mother sika deer stood up anxiously.

Fearing that the mother sika deer who was protecting her calf would misunderstand, Lu Yu retracted his hand that was touching the little sika deer's head.

The little sika deer, with its head tilted and chewing tender leaves, looked at Lu Yu's hand, then looked back at its mother, as if thinking about something.

Just as Lu Yu was thinking about coaxing him back to his mother, Sigrid, who was about to eat some dry food, quickly put the food back into her backpack and put on her brass knuckles again.

"Something is creeping in the woods behind the group of deer."

Lu Yu followed Sigrid's instructions and took a look. The one-person-high weeds swayed gently. If he hadn't observed it specifically, he would have thought it was caused by the breeze.

"Not just one, it's a group of monsters."

Before he finished speaking, several wild wolves jumped out of the shaking weeds.

As soon as these strong wild wolves appeared, they bit off the throat of a deer. After dispersing the herd of deer, they did not stop there and returned to their original places.

Five or six wild wolves protected the fallen deer carcass behind them, facing Lu Yu with fierce eyes.

According to the operation of the wild wolves when hunting, these wolves can only get a black iron rating at most if they are sent to the Adventurer's Guild, and at most they can get a fine steel rating. Sigrid can kill this level of beast alone.

Lu Yu didn't want to disturb the wolves from eating, but he wanted to figure out a question.

Do these wolves also have the power to distort human language?

"Catch one." Lu Yu ordered.

Sigrid took a step forward, and the wolves' threats became louder.

"Do you want it dead or alive?"

"It's better to be alive. The dead one should also be able to find the answer."

After Lu Yu conveyed Lulutis's words, Sigrid quickly shot out, and at the moment when a wolf with bared teeth wanted to jump back, she accurately strangled his throat, and then kicked away another wolf that was about to pounce on her.

After completing this set of operations, Sigrid quickly returned to Lu Yu.

Lulutis's tentacles rested on the trembling wild wolf, explored everywhere, and finally came to a conclusion.

"They don't have that kind of power, they are just slightly stronger wolves."

The wolves, who were originally planning to call their companions with wolf howls, saw their captured companions being released, and lowered their heads that were about to be raised, quickly bit the deer's body, dragged it, hid in the weeds, and disappeared.

It seems that not all creatures in the Silent Mountains have that kind of strange power, but at a certain stage, the creatures with these powers went out to attack people, causing Soresen to mistakenly believe that the curse spreading here has polluted everything.

After a day of exploration, Lu Yu had no monsters that went crazy when he saw people, except for a collision with the wolf pack.

The first reaction of many wild beasts when they saw people was to confront them. After confirming that Lu Yu would not attack, they quickly disappeared from their sight.

This is very consistent with the experience of the second team entering the Silent Mountains. The wave of monster attacks faced by the first team is more like entering the Silent Mountains at the wrong time, which caused an unexpected disaster.

However, Lu Yu did not take it lightly. There will be more troubles to face after nightfall.

Seeing the sky gradually darken, after searching for a long time, Lu Yu and others finally found a cave.

Considering that the second team was inexplicably wiped out in the middle of the night, Lu Yu made up his mind along the way not to camp in the open.

Because of the wild growth of weeds and vines, the entrance of the cave was not conspicuous. If it weren't for the fog monster feeling the direction of the wind, Lu Yu might need to find a big tree to live in the tree tonight.

Pushing aside the green plants intertwined like a door curtain at the entrance of the cave, the fog monster was the first to get in and confirmed that the cave was safe.

After everyone entered the cave, Lulutis floated out, rolled some branches into the cave, and spread them on the ground using the method Lu Yu had used before.

After doing the basic protection work, everyone started to eat dinner with peace of mind.

Whenever others were eating, the bored fog monster could only play by herself.

She poked around in the cave, and from time to time flew out of the cave entrance to observe what the creatures of the Silent Mountains were doing after nightfall.

Finally, she simply poked the soil with a stick and thought about what she would look like after she had the transformation potion.

"First of all, I need to have a well-proportioned and beautiful figure like Sigrid."

Thinking of this, the mist demon drew the outline of the waist while secretly glancing at Sigrid who was eating.

"As for the legs... that guy named Aesop seems to have pretty good legs, so I'll just take his type for now."

As he said this, the mist demon attached a pair of Aesop's legs to the body that had already outlined the waistline.

"Lu Yu's hands are not good-looking, and Sigrid's hands don't seem to suit me... I'm really curious about what Lulu's original hands look like."

For the time being, the mist demon couldn't think of whose hands to learn from, so he had to leave them blank.

The face is the most important part, and there is no way to learn from this part, so the mist demon can only think of it himself.

The mist demon, who has always used other people's appearance, couldn't think of a unique appearance of his own at once, so he had to wave the stick in distress to paint and modify the body that had already been drawn.

After several rounds of this, the tip of the stick of the fog demon was rounded, and the place where the face should be drawn was scratched into a mess.

The troubled fog demon planned to regroup and continue to draw the face. She gently pushed the soil aside. Just as she was about to start, she saw a white foreign object appear on the muddy yellow ground.

The confused fog demon used the stick to sweep away the soil near the foreign object bit by bit.

"Lu Yu!"

The sudden cry of the fog demon almost choked Lu Yu, who was eating. After his heart was almost frightened, he saw the fog demon turned into a pair of big hands and pointed at the ground in front of him with his index finger.

"Look, look!"

The three put down the dry food in their hands, came to the fog demon and looked down.

A broken skeleton lay quietly in the soil.

Lulutis, who realized something, used tentacles instead of shovels to dig a pit quickly.

After a while, four white bones appeared in front of everyone where the fog demon was drawing.

Most of the bones were incomplete, some without hands, and some without feet.

Lulutis continued to dig the pit and found three more corpses below where they had dinner.

Sigrid recalled the ancient books she saw in the library.

"Those disabled elves can only curl up in a few caves to survive."

With the excavation of several elf costumes, the identities of these people were completely confirmed.

Lu Yu finished his dinner quickly with mixed feelings, and then mourned for the corpses in front of him for a while.

Lulutis, with sharp eyes, found something reflecting a faint light under the lighting crystal, and reached down with his tentacles and turned it out with force.

It was a lead-gray metal box with no lock or mechanism and could be opened as soon as it was opened.

Inside the box were only a charcoal pen that had been polished suitable for writing, and a heavy book with a light brown cover.

After confirming that there was no danger, Lu Yu opened the booklet.

What catches the eye is the name on the home page.

Nettie Meyer.

"Day 47 in the Silent Mountains."

"Everyone's mood is very low. We have lost too many partners in the past forty-seven days. Danger is everywhere here, and there are almost no ways to get food without getting hurt."

"Aaron feels that writing a diary is a stupid thing. Even if it is recorded, no one will see it. They have been abandoned and are children who can never return to their hometown. Even so, he still brought me A portion of wolf meat. I heard that this was the food that Reina bought for everyone with his life... Maybe soon this name and his appearance will become blurry, so that no one can remember who did what and how. Sacrifice...so, I must write down the diary, as long as I can remember, they will all be alive."

"Day 48 in the Silent Mountains."

"Rebecca is not in good condition. All five fingers on her right hand have been corroded by the toothbrush. In order to prevent the wound from rotting, we burned her wound with a red-hot iron... She kept begging us to kill her. I could hardly stand her wailing and wanted to loosen my grip on her. Thank God, she fainted from the pain and couldn't scream."

"Day 49 in the Silent Mountains."

"On a beautiful day, Aaron and the others found a monster's lair and stole the food they had stored. We all had a good meal. The elves in other caves also brought us some freshly picked fruits. It’s to provide nutrition to Rebecca who fainted from pain.”

"Day 52 in the Silent Mountains."

"Vanessa from the cave on the west side finally came back and brought us a tiger and two beehives. She is one of the few people here who can use magic. Although she can't speak and can't see anything, she There’s always something to gain.”

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Tiger meat is delicious, but Vanessa fell asleep. I heard it was caused by a double exhaustion of magic power and physical strength... Everyone ate very little, and they all wanted to wait for Vanessa to get up and eat together. "

"Aaron doesn't understand why someone as good as Vanessa has to be abandoned. Is disability the original sin?"

"Maybe, but what can we do? There is no place for us in this world."
