Chapter 2113 Deer Spirit Holy Hill

Crescent Village, as the name suggests, is shaped like a crescent, because the valley terrain it relies on is in this direction. As night falls, the sky is as black as ink, and the stars begin to twinkle in the sky, like gems inlaid on the black sky. Crescent Village is shrouded in a layer of faint moonlight, and the crescent moon hangs in the sky like a guardian, casting a soft and mysterious glow. The crescent moon in the sky and the crescent-shaped village on the ground complement each other.

The houses in the village become hazy and quaint in the night, and the wooden structure sways gently in the breeze. Although not as bright as Moon Night Village, the moonlight + lights in Crescent Village can also illuminate half of the village. The lights under the eaves gradually light up, and the warm lights shine through the windows and sprinkle on the bluestone paved path, providing light for the soldiers guarding the village.

Completely different from the other two villages, Crescent Village is like a military base. It is called a village, but a high stone wall is built in front of it relying on the mountains on both sides.

On the wall, mottled traces record countless battles and baptisms of wind and rain. Vines cling to the stone wall, making its structure stronger, and the roots are rooted in the soil, connecting the stone wall firmly together.

In the middle of the stone wall is the gate of Crescent Village, and on both sides behind the gate are two tall watchtowers, which can also be used as arrow towers.

Crescent Village also has important facilities such as barracks, granaries, and arsenals, which provide a solid material foundation for the village's defense and counterattack. Once the enemy breaks through the protection of the psychedelic forest outside the Dusk Jungle and the natural mountain "wall" on the edge of the core area, all the people of the Dusk Jungle will gather in Crescent Village and retreat here. This is the last line of defense of the Dusk Jungle.

It can be said that everyone in Crescent Village can become a warrior and participate in the battle at any time. From Lin Jiu's perspective, this is a militarized village.

However, Elaite, who has mastered the power of the Thorn Vein and is also very strong, still chose to betray the Dusk Jungle, and Lin Jiu's curiosity was immediately aroused. To be a sage, his IQ must be high. So how did the demon camp instigate Ilait to become a traitor?

It was definitely not because of cowardice. If Ilait was cowardly, he would not be qualified to be a resident of Crescent Village, let alone a sage. There must be more tempting factors that pushed Ilait to do these things.

Ila did not speak. She knew that these soldiers of the Thorn Guard were also elite warriors of the Dusk Jungle, but their individual strength was a little inferior. They should not be underestimated. Ila's ears moved slightly, and his body moved nimbly along the dark area, approaching the center of Crescent Village.

Lin Jiu followed Ila slowly. The "night walk" effect greatly reduced Lin Jiu's presence in the dark. He did not need any concealment skills at all, he just needed to follow Ila closely.

"..." Not far from the center, Ila stopped and seemed to be listening to something. After stopping for about three minutes, Ira started again, but this time she changed her direction, bypassing the central area and sneaking towards a colder direction.

If you doubt someone, don't use him; if you use someone, don't doubt him. Lin Jiu didn't raise any questions and followed Ira's footsteps calmly. The reason why Ira changed her sneaking direction was that Ilait was not in the residence near the central area, but somewhere else. It was after Ira noticed this that she changed her sneaking route.

Ira was the captain of the scout team, and she was good at gathering intelligence, which was why Lin Jiu chose her to lead the way. Under normal circumstances, she should lead the way to Ilait's residence near the central area, but Ilait was obviously not at home at the moment.

As for why it was said to be close to the central area, couldn't a sage live directly in the central area? That's because the central area of ​​Crescent Village is a huge training ground, where soldiers can be trained and used as a square in leisure time.

The shape of the crescent village makes the central area of ​​Crescent Village the largest flat area, so the training ground is placed there. Ilait, as well as the commanders and captains of the Thorn Reckoners, all live in nearby residential areas.

Ira led Lin Jiu around the training square in the central area and sneaked towards the other end of the village. One end of the Crescent Village is the stone wall entrance they saw when they came in, and the other end of the Crescent is the location of the Deer Spirit Holy Hill.

According to the current route, it is not difficult for Lin Jiu to guess that Ilait is at the Deer Spirit Holy Hill.

Lin Jiu does not know Ilait's soul breath. As for judging from the strength, it is possible under normal circumstances, but the Crescent Village is an abnormal situation. Lin Jiu can sense that the souls of all people in the Crescent Village are very turbid, as if they have been eroded by something.

This turbidity makes the soul breath very chaotic. Lin Jiu can't find Ilait's location through perception coverage. Fortunately, he has a hand and asks the scout captain to lead the way.

The erosion suffered by all people in the Crescent Village is completely different from the feeling of demonized creatures. Demonized creatures are born because of the erosion of the Imi Continent by the power of the dark demon. They belong to internal force erosion, while these residents are eroded by external forces.

In terms of the erosion method, it is more similar to the elemental imbalance erosion suffered by the residents of the Holy Empire. However, in terms of the effect, Lin Jiu can initially judge that it is to control the mind. Otherwise, given the love and admiration of the people of the Dusk Jungle for the Dusk Jungle, if Ilait wants to damage the Dusk Jungle, the first to oppose Ilait will be the Thorn Reckoner.

Other erosion effects are unknown for now, but Lin Jiu guessed that there is a high probability that there will be an effect of strengthening strength. I just don't know if this erosion has other serious negative consequences besides the control of the mind.

Lin Jiu couldn't help but have a guess, that is, the demon creatures in the demon camp came from Roy, so will the erosion suffered by the residents of Crescent Moon Village eventually form a new demon. And a stronger existence like Elaite will become a high-level demon.

"?" When approaching the holy land of Luling Holy Hill, Lin Jiu suddenly became more confused. Because he sensed the soul breath in Luling Holy Hill, this one was still relatively strong, and it was Elaite without any accident.

What made Lin Jiu confused was that he thought that Elaite was in the same situation as the residents of Crescent Moon Village, but he would eventually become a demon of a taboo level, but now after discovering it, in Lin Jiu's perception, Elaite's soul breath was not pure, but it definitely did not have the turbid feeling of being eroded. In other words, Elaite was actually still in normal state.

The doubt flashed by, anyway, the person was found, so there was no big problem. Lin Jiu approached the Luling Holy Hill. The so-called Luling Holy Hill is not a hill, but an altar.

The altar stands in a lush forest clearing, surrounded by towering ancient trees. The moonlight shines through the dense treetops, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of tranquility and mystery to this solemn place.

The main body of the Luling Altar is carefully carved from natural stone, and the surface is covered with moss and vines, revealing the traces of time and natural feeling. The altar is about several meters high, round or octagonal, and the top is decorated with deer-shaped sculptures and totems, symbolizing the protection and guidance of the Luling.

It is surrounded by a circle of exquisite stone or wooden pillars, on which are carved various deer-related patterns, such as running deer, elegant antlers, and scenes of harmonious coexistence between deer and nature.

At this time, the fireflies around the Luling Altar began to dance, like stars dotted in the night sky, reflecting the candlelight on the altar.
