Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 691 Two hundred and sixty-eight. At the foot of the world's back

   Early morning.

  The townspeople stood on the edge of the town and watched the exorcist Lu Li and Elena walk into the wilderness, disappearing behind the low hill.

  Although for the people of the Badlands, endless disasters and poor resources have forced them to move out of the interior. But the clouds that cover the sky make people no longer face the scorching sun that dries the earth.

  Elena was wearing the animal leather clothes common in the villages and towns of the Badlands, revealing her bronze-colored sturdy figure.

   After a dull rush, Lu Li and Elena left Helen Town for more than ten miles.

   "There are wolves in that wood, stay away."

   Elena's spear pointed to a poplar forest in the distance.

  The withered and dead poplars are still tall and straight, standing on the dry land.

   Lu Li and Elena avoided the poplar forest, but the hungry wolves were still eyeing them. After a wolf howl, the wolf howls sounded one after another, and the shadows of running wolves appeared in the woods.

   "Retreat there!" Elena pointed to the boulder more than ten meters away, pulled out the hunting knife hanging from her leg, and stared at the surrounding wolves to be admitted to the boulder.

   Elena's eyes were as fierce as a wolf, and she swept through the wolves, looking for the figure of the alpha wolf.

  !

   A deafening loud noise echoed in the wilderness, and the surrounding wolves were scared away and fled with their tails tucked.

  The crisis was quickly resolved.

   Elena tilted her head to look at Lu Li, who was holding the psychic gun horizontally, the gun smoke rising from the muzzle: "You should have killed the alpha wolf just now."

   "We are passing by, not exterminating the wolves." Lu Li said. Redemption retracts the holster, unloads the chamber and loads a new Inscription bullet.

   "They won't retreat if they're hungry for a few more days." Elena put away her hunting knife.

   Not long after he resumed his journey, the evil spirit broadcast in Lu Li's arms rang the bell: The time of silence has come.

  Elena asked Lu Li to sit down. Standing will attract the attention of a beast or eagle. They don't need to hide their movements, and they only target humans when they're silent.

   Lu Li and Elena were lucky. If they arrive in a quiet time when encountering wolves, they will obviously be in big trouble.

   Twenty-three minutes later, when the silence receded, they continued on their way.

  The vast barren land and the World Ridge Mountains in the north form a spectacular scene, and Lu Li occasionally looks ahead. The Gaussian Basin is a hundred miles away.

   There was still no sign of the beholder worm in the sky.

   Lu Li guessed that maybe the time has not yet come, or maybe the sanity value is too high to see it.

  According to the percentage calculation, Lu Li's sanity value is above 110% after being strengthened by the chess piece "Apocalypse Apocalypse". At the same time, his high humanity gives Lu Li resistance to sanity value pollution.

  The goshawk hovered in the sky, and the vulture eyes on the rock reflected the two figures walking in the wilderness.

  In the afternoon, in front of a depleted river, under a dead acacia tree, Lu Li unfolded the map and roughly determined their location: 50 miles northeast of Helen Town.

   is slightly off some direction, but can be corrected. Thirty miles away was a village where they could spend the night.

  If that village still exists.

   Elena opened the kettle and took a sip. She drinks sparingly. A pot of water was almost full.

   "I remember the next road, I don't need this thing." Elena seemed to be very disdainful of the compass in Lu Li's hand, waiting for him to put away the map and compass, grabbing the spear and walking ahead.

  The wilderness is not dead, some small animals and insects still live here. Like a fox spying outside under a rubble, or a beetle crawling over.

  Elena says the biggest threat here is the hyena. They are more numerous and more cunning than wolves. They won't retreat unless they kill the queen hiding behind or take out a quarter of the hyenas.

   But they didn't appear as they approached the village.

   However, Lu Li and Elena encountered a strange pothole. It suddenly appeared in the wilderness, the size was just right to accommodate the next person, and the black hole wall swallowed the sight. When you get close to it, your mind will softly call out.

   "Avoid." Lu Li said.

   They are far away. The farther you get, the fainter the call will be until it disappears.

When    was far enough, Lu Li looked back, and there was only a bit of dark darkness left in the pothole.

   The outline of the ruined village appeared in the distance when the cloudy cloud in the west began to turn dark red.

   Figures are walking among the primitive huts built of thatch and mud, and a bonfire is rising in the center of the village.

  Elena led Lu Li into the village. Perhaps few outsiders come here, and the villagers who are busy with their own affairs have stopped what they are doing and followed them with their eyes.

   "It doesn't feel right... Be careful." Elena's eyes swept across the numb faces of the people, and she clenched her spear.

   "My advice is, quit."

  Lu Li's black eyes fell on a skinny child. He stood sluggishly at the door of the house, holding a human finger bone in his hand, and was eating the minced meat on it.

"late."

   Elena stopped in front of the campfire and turned around.

   Villagers clutching weapons blocked their way.

  The bonfire was burning brightly, and the hot air blew the ends of Lu Li's clothes, which also reflected the faces of the villagers gloomy.

   "I know your Abdel village chief. We don't know anything, let's go," Elena told them.

   A burly villager stepped out of the crowd and said intermittently: "Master... hungry... to eat... you... stay..."

The voice of    fell, and the villagers approached them in front of the bonfire.

   A paradoxical sound of laughter suddenly sounded from behind the villagers.

   Lu Li thought he was their "master", but judging from the panicked behavior of the villagers, he wasn't.

   "It's a pack of hyenas!"

   In the light of the fire, Elena's eyes brightened.

  The hyenas had already started to attack the group of villagers who turned their backs on them, and screams sounded from behind the human wall, and the child who was gnawing on the finger bones was stunned by the hyenas of the same size.

"let's go."

   Elena grabbed Lu Li and rushed to the side hut.

  Whether running into the wilderness among the hyenas or running into the wilderness at night is no different from courting death.

The    spear was thrown, piercing the chest of a villager who stopped them. Elena pulled out her spear, threw off the blood indifferently, and rushed into the wooden house with Lu Li.

  !

   After entering, Elena pressed against the wooden door, and the next moment, the door was slammed by the villagers who came. With Ling Lie in hand, Elena pulled out her hunting knife and stabbed it along the gap between the door panels, swiping from bottom to top.

When    retracted again, half of the hunting knife was stained with blood.

"Step aside."

   Lu Li's voice came from behind. Elena ducked, letting Lu Li push the table against the door.

The chaos of    screaming and hyena laughing was shut out.

   Elena turned her head and found a woman standing in the hut, looking at them with hatred in her eyes.

   "Tell me what's going on." Elena hurriedly approached the woman, holding a hunting knife with warm blood against her neck.

   "The Lord...will not bypass...you..."

   Elena, with a touch of mockery, grabbed her wrist and pressed it against the wall, pressing again: "You can also think about whether I will forgive you."
