Leaving the shield's protection and walking outside the metropolitan area, the two were startled by a few steps.

Before leaving the shield, Shuer had already thought that the scene outside would be very miserable. The energy of destruction would not specifically select targets. Even the legendary powerful people could not support it. The monsters could not survive without the protection of the Heart of the City.

Therefore, the two of them had already been mentally prepared, but when they saw the tragic situation outside, they were still shocked.

Outside were full of corpses of small animals, rats, rabbits, insects and snakes, and various corpses lying all over the ground. These small beasts usually live underground, drilled out of the ground before they died. The ground and nests did not provide them with protection. They were injured in the safest place, so they had to rush out of the nest and then died on the surface.

Each corpse is very miserable, especially animals of the genus Fur, such as rats and rabbits. Most of the animal hair has fallen off, and large patches of blisters are covered with skin. Yellow-white fluid seeps out from the cracked blisters, emitting a smell of death. Around the corpse, they can clearly see their struggle before they die. They are obviously in pain. The ground is covered with scratches, and some are also traces of teeth gnawing. Undoubtedly, the pain makes them fall into madness and attack everything around them in vain until they finally die.

There was no living thing within the range I saw. All the walks and chirpings that could be heard in the wilderness at any time had disappeared. There was silence around me. The silence was combined with the corpses all over the ground, which was inevitably frightening.

Only the plants are still lush and green, at least they don’t seem to be affected at all. Unfortunately, Moria did not follow her, otherwise she could try to communicate and see if everything is really normal for the plants.

"Don't look at it, now we should be glad that at least the plants were not affected. Otherwise, the Emerald Empire might have fallen into a famine that lasted for unknown lengths." After all, Shuer was a commander of the battlefield for a long time. He was used to the scene of hundreds of corpses piled up everywhere, and soon recovered from the shock. "Take me to the location of the Emerald Light first, and then go directly to the entrance of the cave."

If you want to find metal fragments, the easiest way is of course to wait until night. The bright jade light will expose the exact location of each fragment. At that time, dig straight downwards the center point of the jade light, and you can always dig out the target.

But according to the Lionheart King, the goal is to be inside the underground cave instead of simply burying it in the soil, which is more troublesome. You need to dig through a large number of rocks to reach the target. God knows how thick the rock is in the middle. If the rock layer is too thick, it will not be dug in a few days. By then, the fragments will be destroyed and all the people in the city will die.

Therefore, we can only choose the most basic method and follow the underground caves all the way.

"The center point is probably here." Walking carefully in the sun, less than a kilometer, Saf stopped and drew a big circle on the ground with his toes. "It is difficult to judge the specific points, but it is probably within this range."

"Well, this range is enough." Shuer nodded, and the sound coming from under his hood was muffled, "Where is the entrance to the cave?"

“There are seven or eight entrances nearby, but the closest one is also three kilometers away.”

"Let's go closer than I thought, go quickly." Shuer wiped the smooth fabric of his clothes, as if there was something dirty on it. "Even if you could sense the strange energy everywhere outside, you could not see any strangeness at all. This kind of thing should be destroyed as soon as possible. I'm very worried that after a long time, this dress will not be able to support it. After all, this thing is even my master...tsk, anyway, as soon as possible."

"Well, then I'll speed up." Sav nodded, suddenly took the initiative to pull Shul's hand and lift her legs and ran away, which scared Shul, so that you don't have to be so sudden as soon as possible. No matter how good the relationship is, some things must be progressed step by step, right? For example, what's going on first, what's going on, and what's going on, and finally...

"You are actually very anxious." You keep trying to avoid the corpses of creatures everywhere. Suff ignored Shuer's ambiguous teasing and whispered softly, "I always feel that things are not as easy as you said. I can hear that you have concealed a lot of things in your previous explanation."

"It's half true and half false." Xiuer was stunned and laughed, "I didn't expect you to see it."

"I'm so familiar that I can naturally hear it, and Moria must have heard it." However, at this point, Saff did not continue to ask, as if he was not interested in the truth at all. He just focused on observing everything around him with his listening. "I'm very stupid and don't understand too complicated things, but I know that you won't harm me. If you don't say it, there will naturally be your reasons. I just need to do what you said."

"Be careful." Shur pulled Suffle away from his original direction. Suffle relied on hearing too much that he ignored the ground in front of him. A half-melt corpse was lying on the ground, and there was no way to tell what kind of creature it was. If he stepped on it, although it would not be injured, it would inevitably be disgusting for a long time. And if he stepped on the bones and cut his clothes by broken bones, he would really be crying without tears.

"Can you imagine it? In fact, there have been many times, our ending is the same as these things."

"Hmm?" Suff was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Sul was saying.

"I did hide it just now. There was no meteorite rain at all. Lord Luna was fighting against something else." Shur pointed to the sky, "a light of destruction emitted from the stars in the void."

"No wonder you said the word Light of Destruction for no reason just now, and so on. Isn't this mean that the current situation is also caused by that kind of light?"

"It's caused indirectly, actually..."

"Wait, there is a sound." Savre suddenly stopped, closed his eyes and listened carefully, and said relievedly, "It's okay, it's the sound of cracking underground rocks, not creatures. What did you say just now, but what's wrong?"

"The light of destruction is actually a natural phenomenon. Occasionally, some stars in the void emit light of destruction sweeps across the void. But the void is too big and has no boundaries in terms of physical concepts, so it basically has nothing to do with our planet, but there will always be exceptions over time. Over the past millions of years, there have been three or four times. Pavatiga is also within the influence of the light of destruction, because the relationship between the priesthood is all blocked by my Lord, just like those meteorite rains."

"If Lord Luna doesn't block it..."

"It's just like these things." Shur pointed to the corpses of the several plain raccoons that the two of them had just crossed. "Of course it's not so painful. In the moment they were affected, all the creatures of Pavatiga were the result. This thing is much terrifying than the meteorite rain. Even if the meteorite rain falls, there is still a place to hide, but under the light of destruction, there is nowhere to hide, and there is no other way except to wait for death. The gods never revealed these to mortals. After all, the ability of mortals to bear is limited, so that they know that a sharp sword is hanging on their heads, and they might do something stupid. Haha, this is also the reason I just concealed."

"It's here." The three-kilometer road, at the speed of two people, only took a few minutes. There were no more animals around me now, because they were on the surface of a rocky ground, and a crack was cracked on the ground, and the gap was tilted downwards, so dark that there was no end. "Do you want to go in?"

"Hmm? Why not? What are we going to do if we don't go in?" Shuer fixed the illuminated crystal lamp on his shoulder. It was good if someone helped prepare props. All the utensils are the most advanced, and there is a sufficient amount of crystal stones. You can spend it as much as you want. Well, one is not enough, and another one is fixed on the other shoulder, or the waist is also...

"Hate, don't be so embarrassing." Suffer slapped Shuer's back a few times. Well, fortunately, his spine was not broken. He was so lucky. "Didn't you just say that the light of destruction is actually a natural phenomenon? Of course, there is nothing to destroy in natural phenomena."

"The light of destruction from the sky is a natural phenomenon, not this." Shuer shook his head, lit up the two crystal energy lamps on his shoulders, and lit them into the gaps on the ground. Well, the quality is really good, the brightness is sufficient, and the light concentration ability is very strong. The light column extends to dozens of meters away and does not disperse. "Let's go, have you ever been in before?"

"No, this is a human-eating cave. No one dares to go too far. Once you get lost, you will never come back."

"Don't worry, I brought the wayfinding powder." Shuer patted a cloth bag on his waist and carefully poked several small holes at the bottom of the cloth bag. The white powder contained inside spilled down the hole on the ground. This is the correct use of the wayfinding powder.

Pathfinding powder is the best companion for mercenaries to explore caves and is more reliable than any prop. When they come into contact with rocks, they will attach to them and emit subtle fluorescence, which can last for a whole day before the fluorescence gradually disappears. Once you get lost in the cave, just turn off the light source and you can find traces of pathfinding powder, follow the pathfinding powder, and quickly get out of the predicament.

Unfortunately, there are many monsters living in caves. They are also very curious about fluorescence. They often lick or grab the fluorescence, rubbing the pathfinder along the fluorescence, resulting in the loss of the mark and never finding a way back. However, there are almost no living creatures nearby, so there is no need to worry about boring animals destroying the mark. Naturally, you can enter with confidence. Moreover, mercenaries will not rely entirely on the pathfinder. Experienced mercenaries have very strong pathfinder ability and can remember to clear the road even in complex underground caves.

"So, it's impossible for us to get lost, don't worry."

"Well, I know." Suff nodded seriously, "just like he was just going around the city."

"Sassa, I told you not to learn from Moria, I can't learn anything good from that fool."
