Chapter 1189 1171. Unusual

This force that swept straight across the lush mountainous area, leaving behind terrifying traces, was so violent and wild.

It was like a 'natural disaster', full of primitive rage.

Just looking at those tree roots and trunks with jagged and ferocious fractures will make people shudder and hate their own ability to associate as an intelligent creature.

After seeing the traces of destruction, Lan En immediately understood.

Why did the mountain people who escaped, only a few hundred meters away from their destroyed village, dare not go in to see what was going on? They turned around and ran away after being persuaded by the hunters.

This destruction is a remnant, if only a trace. But it’s also enough to make people feel the terror of being in their shoes, as if their lives are being threatened.

The amount of adrenaline secreted is so high that it makes your lips numb, your body trembles, and you sweat like a shower.

It is perfectly normal for people to lose their minds under such circumstances.

but.

Those are just mortals.

The thick leather soles of his boots stepped on the broken wood chips on the ground, and Lan En calmly walked into this area full of traces of horrific destructive power.

Although Lan En is usually approachable, he can basically chat with anyone who doesn't come into contact with malicious intent.

But his body and the hormone levels in his body had been surgically strengthened by the Star Empire, and he accepted the memory of the grand war in the star sea.

And he himself has crossed several worlds, made his own choices in these worlds, and suffered the consequences and rewards.

Whether physically or mentally, he can no longer be considered a so-called 'mortal'.

Expressed in the concept of space warriors, he is already an out-and-out 'superhuman'.

The feeling of terror still existed, but the heavy weight pressing on Lan En's nerves was not an unbearable weight.

"I-I'm here too, nya!"

The velvet ball originally had its mouth open, staring blankly at the large traces of a natural disaster.

But when Lan En walked in first, the Ellu cat also clenched its little paws to cheer itself up and followed.

"The fracture was crushed, and the xylem of the tree trunk collapsed into threads under the sudden pressure. This is a pure and powerful physical force. But why?"

Lan En squatted down and gently scratched the fingertips of his leather gloves over the break of the tree.

He first rubbed his fingers to check the feel, then put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, but in the end he frowned.

"Why aren't there any traces left on it?"

Crush a tree with physical force and there will inevitably be contact.

And under the keen senses of the demon hunter, this contact will inevitably be accompanied by information about the target.

Generally speaking, it will be a residue such as odor.

But after Lan En smelled it, he didn't smell anything.

Lan En lowered his head and looked at his Roaring Bear Head Pendant, which had been shaking slightly ever since he entered this area.

The necklace was shaking because of the large amount of unstable chaotic magic scattered in this area. The shaking did not intensify when it was close to the break of the tree.

This shows that the force that shattered these trees was not a physical impact caused by magic.

And he could determine from the feel of the fracture that the thing that crushed and cracked these trees must have tough and rough skin. It's almost like kraft paper.

But even after such direct and violent contact, he still didn't smell the slightest smell.

Lan En's [Spirit Vision] was also turned on, and he looked around. But the chaotic magic of chaos in the venue was like an artist's palette that had been used for a long time.

Apart from being able to see that a large amount of chaotic magic power is indeed passing through here, it does not provide any effective information.

Lan En frowned and slowly stood up from the broken tree stump. The traces of this crushed and crushed dense forest extended to the other side of the mountain.

In the dense forest, it is like a big cake that has been gnawed by a dog with a line.

"This thing is some kind of creature."

Lan En looked around and whispered the known information in a low voice according to the working habits of the witcher.

"But with such a big body and such strength, it didn't even leave any footprints? How did it do that?"

Flying with magic?

So why are you carving a path through the woods when you can fly?

And if it can fly, why is it that only today is the scope of the general's territory expanding dramatically?

After a brief moment of contemplation and silence, Lan En called out: "Flannel ball."

"I-I'm meowing!"

The three-flowered Elo cat carefully jumped over the broken wood thorns and sawdust on the ground, kicking its legs from time to time to shake off the sawdust stained on its fur.

Lan En turned to look at it: "Can you adapt to it?"

The kitten clenched her paws. Although she was still a little nervous due to the cruel traces here, she still persisted in speaking.

"No, no problem! I'll just get used to it, nya! It's just a monster I've never seen before!"

It puffed out its chest as if to embolden itself, and the small triangular ears on its head stood up.

"Then come and help. This place seems very strange to me." Lan En didn't waste any time. He patted the velvet ball on the head and began to assign tasks.

"You are an Elcat who was born in the valley plunder clan. You are good at finding the material residues and traces of monsters, right?"

"That's right, meow!" Rongbuqiu saw that he had indeed mentioned the field in which he was proficient, and from this, a sense of confidence belonging to a professional was born.

"Then let's look for it together." Lan En said to the flannel ball seriously, "Even if it's just a scaly claw." Ellu cat nodded obediently, then ran away on all fours towards a farther place.

Lan En also began to continue searching.

He really hoped to find the biological remains of this unknown creature, otherwise the whole thing would seem a little too unusual.

Among the various situations faced by demon hunters and space warriors, 'unusual' is almost the biggest bad news.

But good luck did not come to Lan En and Fluffy Ball.

The two of them searched for about half an hour, but still didn't see any biological residue.

Not only were there no traces of the terrifying creature, there were no traces of the animals that should have existed in the forest.

Just like the information obtained before - all living creatures within the range are dead.

And there were no bodies.

Lan En's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but at this moment, El Cat's cry came from the flannel ball.

"Wait! There seems to be something here, meow!"

The witcher immediately dropped the pieces of wood that still had no smell in his hand and walked over there.

When he reached the position of the flannel ball, he saw that El Cat was deftly moving the tree trunk that had been broken into human-sized pieces from one place to the other.

After Lan En came over, he went up to help and quickly finished cleaning up.

And what was exposed in front of the two of them was

"Armor?" Lan En carefully looked at it with [Spiritual Vision], and then fiddled with it after confirming that there was no danger. "It's still damaged."

It was a piece of breastplate that had been deformed due to the impact.

If it weren't for the remaining leather straps on the edge of the breastplate, it would be difficult to determine whether it was an iron plate or a forged breastplate.

The hardest part of a suit of armor was damaged like this, even if it was hit directly by a small trebuchet's scattering bullets.

And that's not what shocked Lan En the most.

When he used his thumb to wipe away the dirt that was hardened by blood and mud at the heart of the breastplate, revealing the small coat of arms on it, his eyes could be called puzzled.

"Gold and red mountain-shaped patterns on a black background?"

In order to confirm that he was right, Lan En turned around and asked for some water from the flannel ball, and then wiped the small coat of arms on the breastplate.

"Why is Aedirn's armor here?"

The witcher frowned slightly and murmured softly.

The biochemical intelligence brain retrieved and confirmed it in just a moment.

This heraldry is the heraldry of Aedirn, another of the four northern kingdoms that faces Temeria across the Mahakam Mountains and is divided into the east and west.

And judging from the manufacturing level of this breastplate, a breastplate that can be equipped with a small coat of arms at the heart must be equipped by an officer above a lieutenant.

How could an Aedirn officer's breastplate appear here?

This place can be said to be within the deep mountains of the Mahakam Mountains, and in terms of territory, it is within the territory of Temeria.

Thinking about it from Aden, even going down the river from the nearest Haji Fortress would take a whole afternoon.

And that's just the journey on the Pontar River. After landing, if you want to go deep here, how long will you have to walk in the mountains?

If the breastplate lying here now had the coat of arms of the Temerian white lily painted on it, Lan En wouldn't feel so puzzled.

"Good job, fluff ball."

Although he was puzzled, Lan En still patted El Cat's little head encouragingly.

Information is information, whether it makes people more confused or not, it is a gain.

Fluffy Ball also squinted his eyes, looking very happy to be praised.

Then, Lan En and Fluffy Ball began to check the area around this area, and as expected, the harvest didn't stop there.

They dug up an arrowhead among the mess that had been shattered into wooden thorns.

There are no smells or traces in this place now, only messy and violent destruction.

And this arrow didn't have any magic power, so Lan En didn't even feel there was anything underneath until he stepped on the pile of sawdust.

There was a soft "click" sound, and almost at the same time, Lan En immediately raised his feet.

Even with such a keen reaction, when Lan En raised his feet, he used thick-soled leather boots tanned from the skin of a petrified cockatrice. At this time, a strange arrow was hung on the soles of his feet.

The arrow looks like a triangular pyramid, but after being physically impacted or squeezed, a thin needle-like, slender barbed blade will open on each edge of the triangular pyramid.

An insidious and ingenious design.

Once this kind of arrow enters the human body, the best result is that a large piece of muscle will be cut into pieces.

The worst outcome is that the thing expands near the internal organs.

Thanks to Lan En's super-fast reaction and the strong leather of the soles of the boots, this mechanically triggered arrow only hung on a shallow layer of the soles of the boots.

Lan En took it off, thoughtfully re-closed the barb on the arrow, and put it away.
