The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 108 — Ruins of Gorgona (1)
The old grandfather touched his scraping wound that was bleeding. His eyes expressed a great fear. The old grandfather cried out pleading with tears of fear coming out of his eye sockets, “I beg you not to kill me! Don't kill me! I will explain everything honestly! Therefore I beg-,”
Lian Haocun took out his black sword and pointed it at the old grandfather's neck. Then very coldly, Lian Haocun said, “I ask you to explain, not beg.”
The old man immediately explained, “Iya, yes... I will explain, I will explain, the name of the ruins is the ruins of Gorgona. Eight years ago, ah it is now almost nine years, our village was sent a threatening letter... I can not remember clearly all the writings, but I remember the point, it is said if we do not send ‘offers’ to the ruins of Gorgona, one by one people in our village will be hunted...,
At first we ignored the threat and continued our usual activities, but the next day, there was a body hanging from our village gate. Given that it was terrible, the corpse had lost its eyeballs, and not a single piece of blood was left from the corpse, but despite its appearance being so bad, me and the other villagers were able to recognize it... He is one of the residents of our village...
Although it was very strange and awkward, we pretended to be fine on the surface, but the next day, the corpse of one of our villagers, was, again it was displayed before us in the same horrible condition as the corpse before it. The bodies were also hung at the gates of our village...
We took the body down again, like the previous one and buried it. But again, again, for four days in a row... The same thing repeats itself continuously. You will not be able to imagine how much terror and fear we felt at that time...
We recalled the threatening letter six days ago, and after a long dispute, we decided to present one of our villagers... After that, the horrible incident did not happen again. But that peace only lasted one month later, after one month, again there was a corpse hanging at the gate of our village...
For the second time, we did not take too long to present one of our villagers. And that's how we survived until now... You people! You can't imagine how horrible that is! How-,”
Before the old geezer could continue his words, his mouth was silenced by Lian Haocun's spell. Chao Bence said in a cold tone, which was so contrasted with the wide smile on his face, “So so it happened.... The atmosphere in this village is very strange. They survive at the expense of each other..”.
Then Chao Bence continued, “So this old geezer wants to try to sacrifice us? Really funny..”.
Shui Zuo who did not know how to react, could only keep quiet while paying attention to what would happen next. While Lian Huanran was still calming Hua, while twisting her brain and wondering inside her mind.
Because there are many strange things from the village head story, such as how can someone do such terrible things without causing noise at night? There were so many questions in Lian Huanran's mind, as well as Long Yuan and Chao Bence.
Still with the black sword near the old grandfather's neck, Lain Haocun asked in a cold tone, “Did there be no sound at all at the time of the incident?”
The old grandfather responded by shaking his head, either out of ignorance or non-existence. Lian Haocun did not say anything, but it brought the sharp blade of his black sword closer to the old man's neck. Naturally, the old man noticed it and immediately said, “Nothing! Nothing!”
Lian Haocun's black sword, Jianheng, still remained in place thus making the old man not dare to move in the slightest. Liam Haocun asked, “Where are the ruins of Gorgona?”
The old grandfather quickly replied, “Southeast Spirit! Southeast! The distance is not too far from our village!”
Lian Haocun kept back his black sword and said as he looked towards the old man, “If you don't want your life to disappear, make sure the little girl named Hua is not scratched in the least. We'll come back later, don't you dare to fuck.”
With a very relaxed attitude, Chao Bence said, “Iya-iya, I will follow wherever the master goes.”
Then Lian Huanran let go of Hua who had calmed down and said a few sentences to explain that he should go to Hua. Then, Lian Haocun and his group, followed by little Bai and Cheng, walked towards the Southeast and searched for the ruins of Gorgona.
On the way, Lian Huanran asked, “Why doesn't a single villager from another village know about these ruins? Isn't this so weird?”
Long Yuan who had never thought of such, muttered, a sign he was thinking about the answer. But Chao Bence quickly said, “The old grandfather also did not describe the ruins at all. Are we not being cheated?”
Lian Haocun denies Chao Bence, “No, he does not lie.”
Chao Bence exhaled a rough breath as he stroked the little Bai's head in his sling gently. They ran quickly and spent about fifteen minutes to arrive. It was because Chao Bence stopped them.
In a cheerful tone, Chao Bence said, “It turns out there really is.”
Then Chao Bence walked into the empty space.
‘Does the ruins of Gorgona also have a barrier?’ Thought Lian Huanran saw what Chao Bence was doing.
Chao Bence reached out his hand to touch the empty air and pecked in annoyance, “General Shui, it looks like this also needs your help.”
Shui responded with ‘Baiklah’, then walked over to Chao Bence's place. Then the two of them worked together to destroy the barrier, although it still took about three minutes.
Immediately the barrier broke into trapezoidal-shaped crystals and gave rise to what should be there. Although it was still early in the morning, seeing the ruins of Gorgona made the feathers of Lian Huanran and Long Yuan stand.
Chao Bence said in a sarcastic mocking voice, “So this is the ruins of Gorgona..”.
The ground in the ruins looks quite dry, there are some skulls in conditions curled around the ruins. While the ruins were dull black in color, with a wide entrance plastered clearly before them. The ruins also looked quite large, but Lian Huanran could not determine exactly how much the ruins were from its appearance alone.
However, not only that, with the white skulls among the dry ground, the quiet and silent atmosphere and the ruins that had a frightening and terrible impression made Lian Huanran who was very afraid of horror things, hide behind Lian Haocun.
Lian Haocun ignored Lian Huanran's fear and said, “Let's check.”
