Chapter 252 Warning

The wind blew across the camp.

The curtains on the tent rattled.

But it became increasingly apparent that the camp in front of him was so dead.

This feeling of dead silence made Qin Ran frown.

Especially when he walked into the gate of the camp, he gripped the handle of the gun tightly and was ready to deal with all dangers.

However, from the gate of the camp to the end of the camp, nothing happened.

During this period, Kieran carefully inspected every tent.

But just like what I saw before, there were no figures.

Moreover, there is no shortage of items in the tent.

Be it belongings or weapons, they were randomly placed there, as if the owner of the tent was in it.

Kieran even saw a bowl containing food in a tent.

Food in the bowl, about half eaten.

Then, just put it there.

Neither continued to eat nor poured away.

Just let it corrode.

It was as if the person who was eating had disappeared out of thin air.

"Disappear out of thin air!"

Qin Ran's heart shuddered.

He immediately entered the field of vision of [Tracking].

But time has already erased the marks it should have had.

"At least disappeared for more than a week!"

Qin Ran deduced from experience, and then narrowed his eyes.

a week.

And they set off from Burr City, also a week ago.

About the same time, Kieran had to make some guesses.

"If that's the case..."

Qin Ran's expression became serious.

Then, he walked quickly to the end of the camp: the road leading to the ancient city of Aesop.

The ancient city of Aesop is a historic site covered by a large forest.

However, with the discovery of the gold inside by an explorer, the ancient city of Aesop, which was originally hidden in the forest, was completely rediscovered.

A cut road leads from the end of the camp to the ancient city.

From where Qin Ran was standing, he could clearly see a corner of the ancient city.

Moreover, on both sides of the road, Kieran saw many axes still on the ground or embedded in tree trunks.

Obviously, the people who established the gold digger camp are not satisfied with the status quo, and are still developing.

Sadly, this development was not completed and all were lost.

After stopping at the same spot for a while, Qin Ran did not go deep into the ancient city of Aesop, but returned the same way.

He thought that he needed to tell Herbert and Peel about the weird scene in front of him.

After all, as a scholar, Herbert probably knew something.

...

"Everyone disappeared?"

Hearing what Qin Ran said, Herbert was startled.

"Yes, everything is there, but all the people are gone!"

"It's as if... just disappeared out of thin air!"

Qin Ran frowned.

"One thousand and five hundred years ago, the Nick dynasty that unified the entire world also fell apart overnight, and seemed to have completely disappeared from the world..."

Herbert whispered to himself.

Qin Ran and Pierre looked at each other, seeing the horror in each other's eyes.

As a newcomer to the dungeon world, although Kieran had heard Herbert's narration, he never connected the scene that happened in the gold digger camp with the scene that happened in the Nick Dynasty 1,500 years ago.

And Peel?

He hears more.

But he more habitually focused on Herbert's daily life, rather than the legendary story.

"Herbert, we should return!"

"The matter in front of us is no longer what we can handle!"

"Now you have enough evidence to prove the existence of the Nick Dynasty, there is no need to take risks!"

Pierre spoke.

As a soldier, Peel never minded taking risks, but as Herbert's housekeeper and bodyguard, he was never willing to let Herbert take risks.

Qin Ran didn't speak.

He expects Herbert to help him explore the ancient city of Aesop.

But can't force each other.

Not only because it violated his principles of doing things, but also because he knew that forcing someone like Herbert would only be counterproductive.

"Don't be nervous, Peel, the night monsters can't cause the disappearance of the Nick Dynasty—otherwise, they wouldn't be besieged and wiped out by the Nick Dynasty!"

"The situation in front of me is just similar!"

Herbert comforted his housekeeper and bodyguard.

"But dangerous enough!"

Peel reminded Herbert.

"But we can't go back!"

"The night monsters have already blocked our way back, we can only keep going!"

Herbert laughed, without any tension in his expression, but relaxed.

"Then we have to give it a try!"

"It's better than going on!"

Peel is sticking to his guns.

"no no!"

"If we continue, we won't be in any more danger—we guessed before that they were going to give us a fatal blow in front of the ancient city of Aesop, and the ancient city of Aesop is completely unsuitable for fighting. The gold digger camp is the best choice, but The investigation of 2567 told us that the gold digger camp is empty!"

"Not only ordinary humans, but also no night-species monsters mixed in!"

"This is our chance!"

Herbert shook his head.

"Similarly, it may be a bigger trap!"

"There are too many coincidences in timing."

Qin Ran raised his right index finger, looked at Herbert and Pierre, and said his previous guess with a serious expression.

"One week!"

"The people in the gold digger camp were missing for a week, and it happened that we set off a week ago-it really made me think of something!"

"We were attacked a week ago when we set out again, the only attack."

"Maybe the strength we showed exceeded the expectations of the night monsters, and maybe something happened inside the night monsters, but in the end, they changed their original plan: from preventing Herbert from reaching the ancient city of Aesop to' Cooperate with 'Herbert to reach the ancient city of Aesop."

"For that 'thing'!"

On the word 'thing', Qin Ran emphasized the pronunciation.

"So, the night monsters now expect me to use my knowledge to help them find that 'thing' in the ancient city of Aesop?"

"That is to say, we are all safe until the night monsters find the 'things' they want."

Herbert agreed with Qin Ran's idea, and Pier, who was beside him, also nodded and did not refute Qin Ran's statement.

After Herbert frowned and pondered for a moment, he continued.

"Perhaps those night monsters will protect us from other threats!"

"Based on this basis, the disappearance of the people in the gold digger camp is probably the work of these monsters!"

"Of course there may be other reasons, but in my opinion, this is that the night monsters don't want these people to disturb me to find that 'thing' in Aesop's ancient city for them, and remove obstacles!"

"After all, that 'thing' is too important to them!"

"The same is our chance!"

The last sentence was so low that only the three people in front of him could hear it.

What is that 'thing'?

Everyone present, except for the big guys, knew it well.

'arms'!

A 'weapon' that can easily destroy night monsters.

In the beginning, the night monster prevented Herbert from going to the ancient city of Aesop just to prevent this 'weapon' from appearing in the world and threatening them.

However, it is obvious that the current night monsters have changed their original plan, and they have become more aggressive.

They needed Herbert to find that 'weapon' for them in the ancient city of Aesop, and then completely destroy that 'weapon', so that they would have no worries.

Therefore, the immediate situation will appear: all the way to the ancient city of Aesop unimpeded.

Facing such a situation, Herbert had another plan: to find that 'weapon' before the night monster, and use that 'weapon' to destroy the night monster.

However, this is obviously not an easy task.

"Since the night monster dares to let you find it, Herbert, then..."

"They must be fully prepared!"

"Don't forget, no matter what method the night-breeding monster uses, there are thousands of people in the gold digger camp. The method that can make thousands of people disappear must not be underestimated!"

Qin Ran took a deep breath and said.

"So, I need your help and Pierre's help!"

Herbert looked at Kieran and Peel solemnly.

[Discovery side mission: Find the lost thing! 】

[Lost things: The Nick dynasty is great, there is no doubt, and the items left by that dynasty are enough to make any creature tempted, and the night monster is no exception! They can't solve the problems left by the Nick Dynasty, so they need an expert! Herbert is the best of the best - help Herbert find the lost item! 】

"Just found?"

"Didn't you use 'weapons' to destroy the night monsters?"

The emergence of side missions was expected by Qin Ran, but the content of the side missions was beyond Qin Ran's expectations.

Looking at the introduction, Qin Ran, who had experienced a lesson once, interpreted it word by word.

However, this does not prevent him from accepting side missions.

"certainly!"

Qin Ran said with a smile.

"I am your housekeeper and bodyguard, I will go wherever you go!"

Pierre said a little helplessly.

The big guy whimpered and said that he would definitely follow Herbert, just like when the team parted before, they grabbed Herbert's lapel and did not let go.

...

The group set off again.

Qin Ran was still at the forefront.

Even if it is speculated that nothing dangerous will happen until the 'weapon' is found, this is not an excuse for Kieran to relax his vigilance.

Soon, the group came to the gold digger camp.

When they saw the empty gold digger camp, even with Kieran's previous narration, Herbert and Peel were shocked.

Like Qin Ran before, they got off their horses and looked around.

Hope to find more useful clues.

But just like Qin Ran, he found nothing.

Finally, after collecting some dry food and water, the group came to the end of the camp, the artificially opened road leading to the ancient city of Aesop.

However, Qin Ran, Herbert and Pierre who came close were taken aback for a moment.

A wooden sign is inserted in the middle of the road.

Two words were written on it in bright red liquid——

go back!
