Chapter 2107 Luling Holy Hill
Crescent Moon Village, as its name implies, is shaped like a crescent moon, because the valley it is based on is in this direction. As night falls, the sky is as dark as ink, and the stars begin to twinkle in the sky, like gems inlaid on the black sky. Crescent Moon Village is shrouded in a layer of faint moonlight, and the crescent moon hangs in the sky like a guardian, casting a soft and mysterious glow. The crescent moon in the sky and the crescent-shaped village on the ground complement each other.
The houses in the village became hazy and quaint in the night, and the wooden structures swayed gently in the breeze. Although not as bright as the Moonlight Village, the moonlight and lights in Crescent Moon Village can also illuminate half of the village. The lights under the eaves gradually lit up, and the warm lights shone through the windows and sprinkled on the bluestone paved path, providing light for the soldiers guarding the village.
Completely different from the other two villages, Crescent Village is like a military base. It is called a village, but there is a high stone wall built in front relying on the mountains on both sides.
On the wall, mottled marks record countless battles and baptisms of wind and rain. Vines cling to the stone wall, making its structure stronger, and the roots are rooted in the soil, firmly connecting the stone wall together.
In the middle of the stone wall is the gate of Crescent Village, and on both sides behind the gate are two tall lookout towers that can also be used as arrow towers.
Crescent Village also has important facilities such as barracks, granaries, and arsenals, which provide a solid material foundation for the village's defense and counterattack. Once the enemy breaks through the protection of the psychedelic forest outside the Dusk Jungle and the natural mountain "wall" on the edge of the core area, all the people of the Dusk Jungle will gather in Crescent Village and retreat here. This is the last line of defense of the Dusk Jungle.
It can be said that everyone in Crescent Moon Village can transform into a warrior and join the battle at any time. From Lin Jiu's perspective, this is a militarized village.
However, Ilait, who had mastered the power of the Thorn Vein and was very strong, still chose to betray the Dusk Forest. Lin Jiu's curiosity was immediately aroused. To be a sage, his IQ must be high. So how did the demon camp instigate Ilait to become a traitor?
It was definitely not because he was afraid of death. If Elaite was afraid of death, he would not be qualified to be a resident of Crescent Moon Village, let alone become a sage. There must be more tempting factors that pushed Elaite to do these things.
Ira didn't say anything. She knew that these soldiers of the Thorn Guard were also elite warriors of the Dusk Jungle, but their individual strength was slightly inferior. They should not be underestimated. Ira's ears moved slightly, and her body moved nimbly along the dark area, approaching the center of Crescent Village.
Lin Jiu followed Ila slowly and leisurely. The "night travel" effect greatly reduced Lin Jiu's presence in the dark. He didn't need any hiding skills at all. He just needed to follow Ila closely.
"..." Not far from the center, Ira stopped and seemed to be listening for something. After stopping for about three minutes, Ira started again, but this time he changed direction, bypassing the center and sneaking towards a colder direction.
If you doubt someone, don't employ him; if you employ someone, don't doubt him. Lin Jiu didn't raise any questions and followed Ira's footsteps calmly. The reason why Ira changed his sneaking direction was that Ilett was not in the residence near the central area, but somewhere else. It was after Ira realized this that he changed his sneaking route.
Ira is the leader of the scout team and is good at gathering intelligence, which is why Lin Jiu chose her to lead the way. Under normal circumstances, she should lead the way to the location of Ilait's residence near the central area, but Ilait is obviously not at home at the moment.
As for why it is close to the central area, can't a sage live directly in the central area? That's because the central area of Crescent Village is a huge training ground where soldiers can be trained and used as a square in leisure time.
The crescent shape of the village made the central area of Crescent Village the flattest, so the training ground was placed there. Ilett, as well as the commanders and captains of the Thorn Reckoners, all lived in a nearby residential area.
Yila led Lin Jiu around the training square in the central area and sneaked towards the other end of the village. One end of the Crescent Village was the stone wall entrance they saw when they came in, and the other end of the Crescent was where the Deer Spirit Holy Hill was located.
Judging from the current route, it was not difficult for Lin Jiu to guess that this guy Elite was at the Deer Spirit Holy Hill at this moment.
Lin Jiu didn't know the aura of Ilait's soul. As for judging by its strength, it was possible under normal circumstances, but the Crescent Village was an abnormal situation. Lin Jiu could sense that the souls of everyone in the Crescent Village were very turbid, as if they had been corroded by something.
This turbidity made the soul breath very chaotic, and Lin Jiu was unable to find Ilaito's position through perception coverage. Fortunately, he had a trick up his sleeve and asked the scout captain to lead the way.
The erosion that all the people in Crescent Moon Village suffered was completely different from the feeling of the demonized creatures. The demonized creatures were born because of the erosion of the Dark Demon's power on the Yimi Continent, which was an internal erosion, while these residents were eroded by external forces.
In terms of the erosion method, it is more similar to the elemental imbalance erosion suffered by the residents of the Holy Empire. However, in terms of the effect, Lin Jiu can initially judge that it is to control the mind. Otherwise, given the love and admiration of the people of the Dusk Jungle for the Dusk Jungle, if Ilait wants to damage the Dusk Jungle, the first to oppose Ilait will be the Thorn Reckoner.
The other erosion effects are unknown for now, but Lin Jiu guessed that there is a high probability that there will be an effect of strengthening strength. I just don't know if this erosion has other serious negative consequences besides the control of the mind.
Lin Jiu couldn't help but have a guess, that is, the demon creatures in the demon camp came from Roy, so now the residents of Crescent Village will be eroded by this kind of erosion. Will it eventually form a new demon? And a stronger existence like Elite will become a high-level demon.
"?" When approaching the sacred Luling Holy Hill, Lin Jiu suddenly became more confused. Because he sensed the soul aura in the Luling Holy Hill, just this one, and it was quite powerful. It was Elette, no surprise.
What puzzled Lin Jiu was that he originally thought that Ilait was in a similar situation to the residents of Crescent Moon Village, except that he would eventually become a demon of a taboo level. However, after discovering this, in Lin Jiu's perception, Ilait's soul aura was not pure, but it definitely did not have that kind of eroded turbidity. In other words, Ilait was actually still in a normal state.
The doubt flashed across his mind. Anyway, since he had found the person, there was no big problem. Lin Jiu approached the Luling Holy Hill. The so-called Luling Holy Hill was not a hill, but an altar.
The altar stands in a lush clearing in the forest, surrounded by towering ancient trees. The moonlight shines through the dense treetops, casting dappled shadows, adding a sense of tranquility and mystery to this solemn place.
The main body of the Deer Spirit Altar is carefully carved from natural stone, and the surface is covered with moss and vines, revealing the traces of time and a natural feel. The altar is several meters high, round or octagonal, and the top is decorated with deer-shaped sculptures and totems, symbolizing the protection and guidance of the Deer Spirit.
It is surrounded by a circle of exquisite stone or wooden pillars, on which are carved various deer-related patterns, such as running deer, elegant antlers, and scenes of harmonious coexistence between deer and nature.
At this time, the fireflies around the Deer Spirit altar began to dance, like stars dotted in the night sky, reflecting the candlelight on the altar.
