Chapter 201 An unusual discovery
After 13 days of continuous day and night travel, the giant bird successfully arrived at the Highland Alliance and came to the Black Forest where the Night Forest Academy was located. There were many Night Shadow trees in the forest. This kind of tree likes to eat light, whether it is sunlight or moonlight.
Even during the day, the Black Forest was darker than other places.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Night Woods has been covered by energy radiation pollution and has become a bad place." Chris Donner said, looking down at the black trees.
Compared with before, there is a kind of gray mist floating in the black forest, which gives people an uncomfortable feeling. It should be caused by energy radiation pollution.
Everyone present is a formal wizard, and no one would be afraid of this.
After the seven people landed on the ground, the giant bird received the order and flew away from this troubled place. It was a synthetic blood creature with a certain self-preservation ability and could be recalled when needed.
"Of course. Every academy has its own trump card. When the battle comes to the end, they will definitely choose to perish together with their enemy rather than let those bandits have an easy time. Energy pollution is inevitable." Deacon Abel of the patrol team echoed.
Such facilities are also available in the Mona Ant Farm Huts, which were built when the college was founded.
As they were talking, the seven of them stepped into the black forest and walked towards the Night Woodland Academy. The shadows of the trees were swaying, and the demonic creatures lurking in the woods did not dare to show their heads, sensing the seven people's extraordinary aura.
After a while, a huge dilapidated tomb came into view. This was the campus of Night Woods.
Night Forest Academy excels at studying shadows and undead energy, and such a campus complements each other and makes people feel reliable. However, the tomb has been broken into, and gaps have appeared one after another, and the nearby protective secret forest has also been burned down.
"We arrived so late, they must have already dug the ground three feet deep. Is it necessary to investigate bit by bit?" Wayne couldn't help but ask.
Among all the academies, the Mona Ant Farm Hut is the farthest from here. Before they arrived, there must have been waves of wizards arriving, and those people would not show mercy. What is left now is probably some worthless waste.
"That's hard to say. We'll know once we take a look inside."
Chris Donnell took the lead and stepped into it through one of the gaps.
The others followed behind and couldn't help but become more alert.
Normally, when some high-energy leaks out of a laboratory, it will cause mutations and turmoil in the surrounding area, let alone a ruined college. No one knows what is sealed in a college's laboratory or what has leaked.
"Wizard Ivan, you are from the enchantment team. Can you sense the power of the protective magic array around you?"
"Yes, there will definitely be some remnants. This kind of rune magic array that covers a wide area is difficult to completely destroy. It usually has the ability to self-recover. Like the current situation, it is easy to trigger a wonderful chain of changes."
"Then you have to be careful."
The real campus of Nightwood is deep underground. The seven people passed through the long spiral passage and arrived at the tomb safely.
The entire campus was the size of a city, with tombs and church-like buildings, most of which had become ruins. The air was damp and dark, with a poisonous fog that smelled of decay.
"It's really interesting, there's a smell of a rotting corpse." Wayne not only didn't dislike it, but sniffed it hard, as if he smelled something intoxicating.
Ivan couldn't help but glance at him. After this family's bloodline transformation, even their habits became weird, and there were other things hidden in them.
"Wizard Ivan, do you have a different opinion?" Wayne smiled at him.
"No."
Ivan looked calm, but doubts flashed through his mind.
It shouldn't be an illusion. During this meeting, he sensed a hint of unusual aura from Wayne. That was a discovery he made after he had mastered the rare item, the Advanced Puppet Heart, and conducted some research. That was the unique aura emitted by the Puppet Heart, and Wayne would occasionally have a similar aura.
This is somewhat intriguing. You have to know that Wayne is from the Steele family, one of the three major families, and he has also joined the cultivation group controlled by the Wakin family. He has a special identity.
The only uncertainty is whether the controlled creatures can remain the same as normal people.
If it were possible, it would be understandable why Wayne failed to be promoted with the fifth-level talent and then embarked on the path of blood transformation. As for the matter of the Flash Vortex Secret Realm, the strange things he felt were also explained.
Could this be the plan of the Star-Moon Alliance?
He doesn't know, but he won't tell the college anyway.
In the Night Woodland Academy, there was something emitting a pale green light above the sky, adding a unique atmosphere to the academy.
The group did not conceal their footsteps, and the sound was particularly loud in this silent area.
"Roar."
Finally, their arrival attracted the hidden demonic beast, which seemed to be quite large from the noise.
"It's just a fish that escaped the net, how could it be so stupid?" Chris Donner took action personally. A violent thunder leaped over and killed the beast before it got close.
There is also an advantage to arriving late, that is, the rioting experimental subjects and demonized beasts have been cleared out again and again, and the ones they encounter are just the ones that have escaped the net.
Led by Chris Donner, the group headed straight for the heart of the campus. When they reached the area with the most violent energy, they couldn't help but slow down their pace.
Many pure white stone carvings appeared in front of them, including plants, people, and animals. The most surprising thing was the stone carving of wizards inside. Even the smallest details were carved out, and the expressions of fear on their faces were vivid. These people were posing as if they were trying to escape.
"I know him, Howard June, a wandering wizard." Bernardson pointed to one of the human-shaped statues and said, from the face, it is not difficult to tell that this is an old wizard.
"This is Nissen Beth. I've heard of him as a very cruel villain." Wizard Abel pointed at another person.
Their words made the others feel startled and they walked more cautiously.
What kind of power could turn a living wizard into a stone sculpture? The stone sculpture looked lifelike, but in their perception, there was no life at all.
However, when they turned their backs, they always felt that someone was staring at them, which came from these human-shaped statues.
"It's just a stone sculpture, there's nothing strange about it." Some people didn't believe it and went forward to investigate carefully, but did not detect any energy fluctuations.
"I've never heard of Night Forest researching this kind of power. Could it be their hidden trump card, similar to the forbidden power?"
"Come inside and take a look." Chris Donner waved his hand and told them to move on.
The petrified place is not just one place, but a large area. As we go deeper into this area, we see more and more plant statues, but no human statues.
They came to a special tomb building.
Unlike other places, this tomb and the surrounding soil have also been petrified and turned into pure white.
The door of the tomb was open. Not realizing the danger, the few people went straight in and found a deep pit in the middle of the ground. It seemed that something had been dug out.
