Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 468 Turning into a ghost
The hills are eerily quiet.

Even though it is daytime, under the sunlight, this area still seems to be rejecting the light.

The biting cold wind is raging here.

The rugged and steep mountains are covered with desolate sand, gravel and mud, and even the land looks dull.

Various dead bones can be seen exposed under the soil, but they are not completely buried in the earth.

The exposed limbs of the dead bones piled up here, together with the earth, formed a strange landscape.

The white moonlight shone down, and under the moonlight, the two of Alka were walking in this area.

Circle after circle of silver-white light spread toward the ground and around.

"This is simply a mass grave." Xia Detti couldn't help but say as he continued walking forward.

"Our feet are almost piled with all kinds of dead bones, and none of them is complete."

Hearing this, Alka, who was following Shadetti, looked at some of the white bones exposed from the ground under his feet.

Perhaps because it was too long ago, the white bones turned from these corpses have long been integrated with the earth and become part of this hill.

"It's not just humans... there are also many demon corpses here." Xia Detti continued as he walked.

After hearing this, Alka thought for a while and said: "This should be the place where the Cloud Sage finally resisted the devil. It seems that there were many more civilians who were forced here than we thought.

Those civilians who escaped may only be a small part of the people gathered here. "

As far as they knew, the number of civilians who successfully escaped due to the resistance of the Cloud Sage at that time was only about [-] or [-].

At that time, they thought that there might only be about [-] to [-] civilians in total, but with the resistance and help of the Sage of the Cloud, the number of [-] to [-] people who escaped was already a lot.

But now it seems that the number of residents who were forced here at that time may be shocking.

Along the way, they could find scattered bones almost every distance, but those scattered bones were not enough to look at compared to the piles of bones stacked in this area.

In other words, those who escaped were finally forced to die here.

The two of them walked and talked like this.

And around them, all kinds of strange and terrifying evil spirits that looked very penetrating were surrounding them.

Surrounded by the white moonlight.

The strange face and blood-red eyes kept staring at the two people in the moonlight.As soon as the moonlight disappears, they will swarm them and try to tear them into pieces.

However, Alka and the two seemed to be fine, as if they could not see the evil spirit and completely regarded them as air, doing their own things and chatting about their own things.

Among the piled up evil spirits, there are some evil spirits whose minds seem to be different from those of their companions.The appearance also needs to look less scary.It can be seen from the blood-red pupils that they are obviously smarter and seem to be thinking.

Looking at Alka and the two people slowly leaving.

These evil spirits left their surrounding companions and gathered together behind a stone.

"How could a living person come deep inside?"

"I don't know, they still have people on the outside."

"And they look very strong. The moonlight makes me afraid to get close."

"How to do how to do?"

"Don't mess with him, he'll kill us like he killed these lunatics."

"Yes, yes, Kekra doesn't want to die."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"Really? That's great, thank you."

"You are such a good person...why are you here!"

A ghostly figure that looked like a little girl shouted suddenly.He jumped directly to a height of three meters and stayed there.

The other ghosts turned around and realized that Alka, who they had watched leave without their own eyes, was squatting beside them and had just chatted with them.

"Don't be surprised, let's talk."

Alka looked at the ghosts who retreated a lot in an instant.He squatted next to him and waved his hands to show that he meant no harm.

Then he pointed behind the stone: "You look different from your kind, so they will just want to tear us apart, which is not good.

If I can communicate with you, of course I would be more willing to communicate with you. "

As he spoke, Alka blinked and looked at the intelligent spirits in front of him with eyes that could see through secrets.

He could tell the difference between these souls and the evil spirits outside through his eyes.

Is this why he noticed the problem of these evil spirits while chatting?
"How did you resist the invasion of the abyss? Your companions were all invaded by the abyss and turned into real evil monsters."

As he spoke, Alka stood up, patted his body, and said with a smile: "Don't be so vigilant. You see, you were once humans, and I was also a human. Our enemies are all demons and invading abyss, aren't they?

If you don't attack us deliberately, we won't attack you, right? "

While he was talking, a strange evil spirit wandered over from the stone.

Looking at this evil spirit, these intelligent ghosts were startled. They quickly looked at Alka and told him to hide quickly with their eyes.

But Alka just smiled and waved his hand.He just stood upright like this, and the evil spirit passed by him and ignored him.

"Look, I'm actually quite powerful, aren't I?" Alka said with a smile.

Looking at this scene, these ghosts are not fools. Alka can obviously stay hidden and hide in the distance.Being willing to show up and communicate with them shows his goodwill.

These ghosts looked at each other. One of them looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Except for the weird tentacles growing on one of his arms, a normal-looking ghost stood up.

"Well, you don't look too bad after all."

Hearing this, Alka smiled and nodded, then observed them.

"It seems you haven't thought about it yet. You should have other companions, right?" Alka said.

Then, before the ghosts could speak, they clapped their hands gently: "You should know where our camp is. If you are willing to communicate and express goodwill, then come to the camp to find me.

Before that, you can talk to someone who can really take charge of the matter.

goodbye. "

As he spoke, Alka clapped his hands gently, and his figure disappeared, leaving only a faint pink mist.

Several ghosts just stood there staring at each other.

"What should we do now?"

"Of course I'll go back and ask the general and the others."

As he said that, several ghosts disappeared from the spot.

Xia Detti continued to circle around and scan the surrounding terrain, looking at the smile that suddenly appeared on Alka's face next to him.

"Have you ever communicated with them in the past?"

Alka had already talked to her just after she discovered the problem, so Xia Detti naturally knew that Alka had sent out a phantom to test.

Alka nodded: "It looks like there will be an unexpected harvest tonight."

The two continued walking, scanning the surrounding terrain.

Soon, we returned to the camp as night was approaching.

In the camp, a warm fire was already burning in the stone house built in the corner of the rock.

Looking at the two people who came back, Julia smiled and waved to them.

Pororo stood on a rock not far away, observing the surrounding situation. There were also warning circles formed by doll girls scattered around.

"How's it going? Is there any unexpected gain?" Lucilia jumped on Alka's shoulder and sat down and asked.

"Yes, but you'll find out later in the evening."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark curtain covered the bright sky.

The surrounding area darkened in an instant.

Tonight's sky is filled with stars, and several unknown stars are floating in the sky. "Okay, it's already night."

Lucilia said looking at the sky.

Hearing this, Alka smiled helplessly: "Don't worry."

Xia Detti smiled, walked into the stone house, found a seat next to the bonfire, and prepared all his tools and canvas.

With her powerful strength and the blessing of the Pale Moon, her current exploration range is already very large. Today, she wandered around the central location and was able to draw a map of this area.

The efficiency has improved several times compared with before.

Two doll girls were sitting by the campfire, grilling the ingredients they had brought on the grill above.

These two doll girls can be regarded as Juanlu's apprentices, and most of the time they are Juanlu's assistant cooks.

Since Juanlu wanted to stay in the returning town, naturally the two doll girls followed Alka and the others.

A small stone bench was erected outside the stone house. Julia sat on the stone bench, picked up the harp in her hand, and played gently.

The gramophone box stayed in front of her, not playing sound, but recording the music played by Julia, recording it, and playing it later.

The phonograph box does not have the function of amplifying the sound, so Julia had to expand the range of her playing so that the sound played later would have the same effect.

The music sounded elegant and quiet, like a calm lake, as if a green mist surrounded everyone and penetrated into their souls.

In the sound of this music, they seemed to be walking on a calm lake and stayed quietly.

The music is so peaceful, coupled with the late night environment, people can't help but sit down quietly and close their eyes.

It is transmitted under the influence of music diffusion and amplification.

Passed far away.

The evil spirits lingering not far away couldn't help but stop when they heard such music, and stopped quietly in place.

No more wandering around, no more shouting.

Until the sound gradually faded away.

"What tune is this?"

"Requiem." Julia gently put down the harp in her hand and looked at the ghost in front of her and said.

This was the ghost that appeared in front of her while she was playing, and her eyes were not blood red.

This is the ghost of a woman. Looking at the face that is not too blurry, it can be seen that she is probably in her thirties.

It can be seen from the decoration of her soul and the posture of her body that she must have been an elegant and beautiful woman when she was alive.

But what she was wearing was a set of light chain mail that was tight and the soft metal skirt dropped down to become a skirt, protecting her legs.

“I haven’t heard such peaceful music for a long time.”

There was the sound of hoofs.

One was wearing heavy armor and a helmet that completely covered his face.There is also a sword in his hand that looks like a two-handed sword.

This is a ghost knight, riding a ghost horse and appearing in front of everyone.

Looking at the two figures who appeared in front of them, Julia did not look surprised.

Alka came over and looked at the two of them.

His eyes could see that the strength of these two ghosts was at the fifth stage.

"Are you the powerful stranger that Kekra mentioned?" The ghost knight looked at Alka and said.

Alka nodded.

The female ghost wearing light armor looked around and said, "Are you here for the Cloud Staff?"

It seems that they know very well what the stranger will come for if they come here.

Faced with such a question, Alka nodded without hesitation.There is obviously nothing to hide.

"Yes, we are treasure hunters and we followed the clues all the way here."

"Then let's be honest, we can't let you take away the Cloud Staff. He is very important to us, to the ghosts who still have personal will, and even to these evil spirits." The female ghost did not hesitate. said.

Alka nodded.

In the current situation, the fact that the Cloud Staff is still here is enough to explain some problems.

Without saying anything else, he reached out and waved his hand, and a stool made of earth and stone appeared on the ground.

"Sit down. If you don't mind, how about we chat about the situation here? I'm very curious about this place."

With that said, Alka sat down.

Xia Daiti and others also sat down one after another. Seeing this situation, the two ghosts who came over looked at each other.After thinking about it, they found a place to sit down respectively, while the ghost horse stood quietly behind them.

"Get to know me, my name is Alka, I am the leader of the Compass Treasure Hunting Group, and they are my companions."

"Salaran Empire, Third Legion, Commander of the Assault Knights, Henges."

"Sararan Empire, National Conjuration Group, Soul Scholar, Lunami."

After hearing the introduction of the two, Lucilia said directly: "I remember these two names. Like the Cloud Sage, they are one of the last heroes responsible for resisting the devil and allowing others to escape."

"And Hengas should also be a member of the Cursed Sword family."

Facing Lucilia, the two ghosts were not surprised. Obviously, this was not the first time they communicated with outsiders.

Maybe he still knows a lot about some situations outside.

Alka nodded, looked at the two of them and said, "Nice to meet you."

"If you don't mind, could you tell me why the Cloud Staff is so important to you?"

As he spoke, Alka crossed his arms and a faint golden light flashed on his forehead.

This is the first time that he has so directly revealed his identity as a Saint.

But I have to say that such a straightforward revelation is indeed very effective.

Especially now, when both parties don't trust each other, and the questions Alka asked are considered private.

The two ghosts looked at this situation.

Lunami thought for a while and said: "The reason why he is important is because he anchors all the evil spirits here, including us... and even some demon souls."

After hearing this, everyone present began to think deeply. This had obviously reached a very important point.

"What would happen if...we took it away?" Xia Daiti couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Lunami looked at her and said: "You'd better not have such thoughts. If you take it away, the breath of the abyss will infect us ghost souls who still have our own will.

And all these evil spirits that have been infiltrated by the breath of the abyss will spread out, and they will lose their restraints and wreak havoc around them.

And those demon souls who are also anchored here will return to the abyss and come back again. "

"Hmm...sounds like all bad news." Pororo said.

"Although it's a bit presumptuous to ask this, I want to ask. You must have done something to cause this situation and make this place like this.

Did you perform some kind of undead ritual to bind the soul to this area?As a result, these souls were invaded by the abyss and turned into evil spirits. "

Lucilia asked while sitting on Alka's shoulder and looking at Lunami.

Faced with such a question, Lunami nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, I did all of these, including our current state and the existence of those evil spirits. They were all my actions at that time."

"No, it's not what you did. It's the direction we chose. You just helped us fulfill our requirements."

Henges, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.

"If you don't mind, can you talk about the situation at that time? This is an unknown history. And we happen to be very curious," Alka said.
