The artifacts of the heavens on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 200 The disaster of extinction
After walking for about half an hour, Luke brought his army of manifestations to the periphery of the building he saw on the top of the mountain without any danger.

After a brief observation, it is indeed a human village, with wooden protective walls, gates, residences, buildings similar to the meeting hall, and watchtowers on the protective walls.

But to Luke's surprise, from where he was, there was no light in the village.

Was it deliberately blocked off, or was it simply an abandoned village with no villagers living there?
For the sake of prudence, Luke did not directly lead the army to continue forward, but stationed in place while sending scouts to reconnaissance.

The colorful tarantula is best at stationing. It uses the nearby rocks to re-weave a non-standard net, and then under Luke's command, expand the net to the maximum limit so that he can deploy ice shooters and Kato Shield.

Scouts would be most suitable for ghosts, but because they can't get too far away from Luke's body, this kind of long-distance reconnaissance of up to 5 kilometers is handed over to the fickle cat demon.

Their temperament is not steady enough, and they are not the most suitable scouts.

But the ability to change their body shape and fur color according to the environment at any time can help them approach the enemy as much as possible without being noticed.

This is an ability that a good scout must possess. Those who do not have this ability are better off staying with the large army honestly.

More than a dozen capricious cat demons changed their fur color to light blue, which was close to the fluorescent color emitted by the rocks, and then ran towards the village quietly and quickly.

In less than 10 minutes, Luke saw the reconnaissance effect of the fickle cat demon.

Of course, it wasn't the capricious cat demons who ran back and told Luke what they saw in the village, but Luke saw some information about the newly appeared village on his system power interface.

"A deserted village without a name, uninhabited."

Although the information is simple, considering the inconvenience of this method of scouting, it is quite good to be able to get it.

Only when the Fifteen Ton Ant worker ants and ant slaves sent by Luke run the construction inside, can he get more detailed information through the system.

But knowing that this is a deserted village is enough for the current Luke, and he can safely and boldly take his army of manifestations to occupy it.

monster?

In theory, no, because the dozen or so capricious cat demons are still alive and well, and no monsters have attacked them.

Besides, if it's just monsters, Luke doesn't have to worry, the army just drives up to kill them.

……

After another half an hour, Luke led his army into the deserted village. After a simple inspection, he found more clues related to this world.

There are no dead bodies, no bones, all the buildings are intact, and some houses have locked doors.

However, some necessary items, such as food, drinking water, and valuables, were missing. It seems that the desertion of this village was not due to sudden disasters, but an orderly migration.

What is the reason for all the people in the entire village to migrate away?
Is it the habitual active migration of migratory birds, or the forced migration caused by some reasons?
The firewood, tools and some books were not taken away, only the necessities of life were taken away. It didn't look like they were actively migrating.

Luke didn't know anything else. Anyway, he knew that firewood was not so easy to get in this dark world. At least he didn't even see a big tree near the village.

In addition, the village was kept clean and there were not many traces of dilapidation. It is estimated that the villagers hadn't left for too long.

But some details are still quite messy, for example, books are scattered on the floor in some rooms, and some quilts are not taken away.

It seems that the villagers should have had enough time to prepare for the migration, but they left these messy traces because of panic or unwillingness to leave their hometown when they left.

There are also some things that are even more confusing to Luke, such as the occasional strong burn marks on the ground, which are actually in the shape of a human body.

After searching more carefully, Luke learned more information from a diary.

……

"The elders said that it will be dawn soon, and our Holy Soul Village must move to Eternal Night City before dawn."

"Why does the sky light up, and what will it look like after dawn? I'm very curious."

"I asked the elder, and he said that the dawn is because the Lord Horus of the Kingdom of Light is coming.

He also said that the light brought by Lord Horus is the most poisonous poison to our Eternal Night race, and can turn us into ashes in an instant.

The elder also showed me the wound he left when he was tortured by light more than 20 years ago. It was really horrific. The entire little finger was gone, and the wound on it has not healed yet. "

"It turns out that's the case, so it's no wonder."

"The grown-ups have said that if we stay away from the light, we will die without a place to bury us. It turns out that it is really so terrifying."

"We are really leaving. Lord Anubis's army is retreating steadily. Soon the army of the Kingdom of Light will attack the Holy Soul Village. By then, the village will be burned by the light."

"I don't know who will see my diary. I hope you will be careful after seeing my diary. The light is in the direction of the village gate. Be sure to stay away from there."

"Farewell, my hometown..."

……

Several key words appeared in the diary.

Holy Soul Village, Eternal Night City, Kingdom of Light, Lord Horus, Eternal Night Race, Light Punishment, Lord Anubis.

Holy Soul Village must be the name of this small village, and Eternal Night City is probably a large city nearby, which can shelter the villagers of Holy Soul Village.

Kingdom of Light and Lord Horus, needless to say, are enemies standing on the opposite side of Eternal Night City and Holy Soul Village.

Anubis should be a strong man belonging to the Eternal Night race, able to fight against the Lord Horus above.

As for the light punishment, it must have been developed into a punishment because of the special physique of the Eternal Night race. They would be seriously injured when exposed to light.

Combined with the things obtained in the acid slime lair on the top of the mountain, Luke reorganized all the information.

There are two major forces occupying the bright side and the dark side of the planet in Hebron respectively, Master Anubis' Night City, and Lord Horus' Kingdom of Light.

There may be a third force, that is, the strong man with three eyes and four arms on the gold coin.

Then a war that lasted thousands of years broke out here, which had a greater impact on small villages like Holy Soul Village.

The people of Holy Soul Village organized their relocation before the arrival of the army of the Kingdom of Light, but some stubborn villagers refused to relocate. They were completely destroyed—they were burnt into a pile of ashes by the light brought by the Horus army .
