Chapter 340 Earth...Earth!

Damn, damn, damn!

Is this family completely crazy?

Actually want to summon Fiddlesticks? !

Li Lin's pounding heart almost jumped out of his throat.

He was basically convinced that this house was Andel and Natalie's house.

The content on this parchment is actually a Demacian poem written by an unknown author and passed down from a distant era.

Of course, for various reasons, this poem was not actually passed down, but was submerged in the long river of history.

The content it describes is easy to understand. The objects described are the ten ancient demons, focusing on the leader of the ten demons, the fear demon Fiddlesticks.

It's just that even Li Lin doesn't know the specific meaning of this poem, so he can only make a rough guess.

According to his understanding, among the current top ten demons, only Fiddlesticks can move freely in the outside world, and only the legend of this fearful demon is spread around the world.

As for the other nine demons, there is not even a relevant description in the literature and classics.

Combined with the word "crown", are they sealed like the Crowned Star Dragon King?

But there's no point in thinking about it now.

The key is, where did Andel and Natalie get this parchment, and did they summon Fiddlesticks?

Based on the current situation of all the villagers in Hengfeng Village disappearing from the world, Li Lin can almost confirm the second point.

Fiddlesticks did appear and devoured the souls of all the villagers.

As for the first question, I can't think about it now.

Li Lin first used "digital thinking" to check whether the parchment was cursed.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he summoned another drone to bring the scroll back. The current drone continued to explore the room controlled by Zhinao.

While waiting, he thought for a moment, took out a very small storage box from his pocket, and took out a luminous glass marble.

[Zoe's Marble: Just crush it and Zoe will come to you quickly. 】

[Zoe: I'll be here soon~~I promise! 】

It was determined that Fiddlesticks was wandering around the village. To be cautious, Li Lin did not hesitate to crush the "glass" marble, which felt like hollow plastic.

But just as he expected, Zoe did not show up immediately as she had promised.

"Oh, sure enough... I don't know how long it will take for this little girl who has lost her temper at this critical moment to come."

Li Lin was reluctant to use Morgana's feathers unless absolutely necessary.

This was the only chance to summon her, and he wanted to wait until the reform of the Demacian Magic Code encountered obstacles before summoning her.

Two or three minutes later, the drone returned to Li Lin with the parchment.

Without any hesitation, he immediately found Jarvan IV who was talking to Shyvana and handed the parchment to him.

"Your Highness, this incident is related to the devil. We must lead our troops to evacuate immediately."

Jarvan IV looked up at Li Lin in surprise, took the parchment and looked at it, his face couldn't help but change: "Is this...a poem describing demons?"

Li Lin was surprised that he could understand the Gudmacia text and knew that it was a poem about demons.

Jarvan IV noticed Li Lin's expression and quickly explained: "Being familiar with all the books in Xiongdu is a compulsory course for a prince... The library of the Illuminator Sect has scattered relevant records."

Then, he and Shyvana stood up one after another, "Then did you find any other clues about the devil?"

"Your Highness, this matter is no joke." Li Lin looked very serious, "That is the head of the top ten demons in ancient times. No matter what, we can't stay any longer."

Barrett came out of the tent after hearing the noise.

The camp was very quiet, and he heard most of the conversation between Li Lin and Jarvan IV, so he advised him: "Little Jarvan, now is not the time to show off."

There was a hint of harshness in his tone, "Since it has been determined that the devil is at work, even if you are worried about the devil, you cannot risk your own life or the lives of the soldiers."

"Father..."

"Don't forget, even if we have rune steel armor, it can only reduce some of the influence of magic on us. We are still mortal bodies.

"The Fearless Pioneers can cooperate to kill a dragon. Although we don't know the demon's strength, I think the devil should be much stronger than those hybrid dragons with only a trace of dragon blood.

"Are you trying to test the devil's strength at the cost of our own lives?"

Jarvan IV frowned and remained silent.

"Ted taught you, as a leader, what is the most important thing to follow when leading soldiers on the battlefield?"

"Everything puts the lives of the soldiers first and try to avoid unnecessary sacrifices."

"Yes, avoid unnecessary sacrifices." Barrett walked up to Jarvan IV, reached out and patted him heavily on the shoulder, "Withdraw the troops."

…

…

Jarvan IV followed the advice of Li Lin and Barret and ordered the camp to be quickly closed and prepared to evacuate.

Isidore and the others had already left, following the river in the direction of Tobitsia, which was also the direction they needed to march next.

As they were packing their bags, Li Lin once again switched his perspective to exploring the nanorobots at Andel's house, and Zhi Nao made a new discovery.

There is a newly carved space beneath the main house of their house.

Rather than calling this narrow underground space a cellar, it would be better to call it a small altar.

The corpses of countless animals, whose blood had been drained and their internal organs removed, were placed in a corner of the room.

Their blood was used to draw a six-pointed star magic circle pattern exactly like the one on the parchment.

As for the dim-colored, dried internal organs such as the heart, liver, and lungs, they were placed in every corner and node of the six-pointed star formation, showing no signs of corruption.

[This should be the altar where they summon fear demons. 】

[I can’t understand that these animal carcasses and internal organs have been at least two weeks old, but they have not decomposed. This is against the laws of nature. 】

Can it even affect microorganisms...

Li Lin originally believed that Fiddlesticks' fear was directed at those creatures with the primary emotion of "fear".

But now it seems that it can affect all life except plants.

"Can't stay here any longer..."

Before Li Lin could call back the nano-drone, one of the machine cameras conducting field reconnaissance suddenly captured a humanoid figure on the dirt road leading to the rice fields.

He stood quietly in the middle of the road, tilting his head to see his face clearly, but he was wearing the same clothes as Andel, who disappeared today.

"That's...Andel?"

Li Lin's eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, Andel, who had been missing for several hours and had long been equated with "death", would reappear in the village.

"Why? Why should you listen to them... You are all murderers... You are all fucking murderers!"

The voice was very similar to Andel's, like an amplified version of his crazy ravings.

But when the sound reached Li Lin's ears, it was as if sharp iron cones were inserted into his brain, churning his brain into a ball, and at the same time arousing the darkness hidden in his heart.

【No! Master, that's not Andel, I didn't detect any signs of life in it! 】

Without the order of Li Lin, who had fallen into a sluggish state, Zhinao directly cut off the connection with the drone.

[According to my judgment, it should be a scarecrow. 】

"Damn...we're being targeted!"

After regaining consciousness, Li Lin covered his head, his heart sank, and he quickly changed his clothes into armor.

The devil's attack was so sudden.

So far, more than ten minutes have passed, but Zoe hasn’t arrived yet.

Li Lin, who was struggling to endure the sequelae of his headache, had no choice but to take out the feathers Morgana gave him and inject magic into them.

After a few seconds, the black feather in his hand was filled with magic power, and suddenly turned into countless blue magic light points and dissipated in the air.

But at this moment, Li Lin suddenly felt an inexplicable creepiness, and the hoarse cries of crows suddenly came from around him.

Among this discordant voice, a hoarse and low voice, which no creature in the world could imitate, shouted the word that made him suddenly frightened:

"Earth...Earth!"

Trivia: The scarecrow will speak out the victim's worst fears and imitate the victim's last words before death, not only for humans but also for animals.
