Journey to the Half-Elf Plane

When he returned to the waterfall and pool below, it was getting dark.

Loki began to notice traces of some animals appearing near the waterhole. Fortunately, several animals looked like moose and did not look like ferocious carnivores.

But he did not rule out the possibility of other dangerous animals. He searched carefully along the cliff next to the waterhole, but he did not expect to make an unexpected discovery.

He saw a hidden cave under the mountain wall.

Loki quietly approached. The entrance to the cave was only about one person high. One side was blocked by a stone wall, making it difficult to be discovered. He carefully paid attention to the ground around him and found no traces of footprints from other beasts.

In the optic nerve image, there is a dark green cave with stone walls. Deep in the cave, the green is darker, and the image becomes darker and blurry.

His low-light vision image optimization is not omnipotent. In fact, its function is not as good as the natural night eyes of some creatures. It requires more reliance on a little light to see clearly.

The cave was not straight through, so Loki carefully reached in, turned a corner, and vaguely discovered something on the ground in the innermost part, which was not a slope of earth or rocks.

The low-light vision here was no longer very clear. He looked closer and found that it turned out to be a dead human corpse, a young man wearing a dark robe whose appearance could not be seen clearly.

The cause of death should be his chest. It was as if he had been hit by something. It was obvious that the entire sternum had collapsed.

Although the limbs and muscles of the corpse were stiff, the skin was not rotten at all. It seemed that he had not been dead for long.

Loki's heart started to rise, and he carefully looked around the cave. The cave was almost at the end here.

There is no other living thing except himself. There are some traces of bonfires and human activities in the cave, but what is the identity of this person?

Or was he killed by something?Loki wanted to find out.

It's not that he is too curious, but that the Forest of Secret Whispers is full of all kinds of strange dangers, and he must be more vigilant to avoid suffering the same fate as this human deceased.

Carefully rummaging through the dead body, Loki found that he could not find any clues in his robe, not even a single coin. It had obviously been taken away by others.

Finally, he found a clenched fist of the body, which seemed to have something inside.

Loki spent a lot of effort to open the fingers of the rigor mortis and found that it was a metal nameplate.

This nameplate is not big, and is tied with a leather rope. It should be an accessory that was hung around the neck before.

Because it was too dark, Loki couldn't see too carefully. The nameplate felt very delicate to the touch of his palm, and it seemed like a complex image was engraved on it.

Loki put away the nameplate and carefully closed the corpse's fist.

There is no need to guess, he was definitely not killed by poisonous insects and beasts in the forest. The person who killed him took away all the items and left calmly, and the time he left was not too long.

Be careful in the future, Loki became more vigilant.

It was already dark now, and Loki did not intend to find another campsite. Instead, he found a dry stone platform in the cave, threw some hay and planned to rest directly.

Although the cave was a little shady, in order to reduce possible dangers, Loki did not plan to light a fire.

Being in the same dark cave with a corpse, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he had no fear.

Loki lay on his back, with the dark green cave wall in his field of vision. After thinking about it, he got up and covered the dead young man's face with the tattered rag that wrapped his luggage.

The cave was relatively quiet at night, except for the sound of the waterfall, so Loki could rest peacefully.

Conscious control of optic nerve

Displaying the image, he paid a little attention to his body attribute data.

Power: 0.33

Agility: 1.24

Constitution: 0.56

Perception: 1.83

Precision: 1.60

(The average value for ordinary adults is 1. This data is the limit value and is not affected by abnormal physical conditions)

His height of 166.1cm has increased, but his weight of 35.8kg has become lighter. Now he looks skinny and skinny. Fortunately, he has good physical talent. Although he has always been a little malnourished, his development is basically healthy.

Regarding the comprehensive attribute data on the optic nerve image, the perception has increased the most, which may be brought about by the continuous optimization of visual images, sound waves, hearing, and touch. Agility is temporarily stagnant, and accuracy has been steadily and slowly improving.

After thinking for a while, fatigue gradually set in, and Loki finally fell into a deep sleep.

……

I don't know how long time passed, but a flash of light suddenly flashed at the entrance of the cave outside.

Then there was the sound of footsteps stepping on gravel at the entrance of the cave.

The footsteps became louder and louder, and it was obvious that they were not covered up deliberately. Deep in the dark cave, Loki's gray eyes suddenly opened.

He was still in a daze of sleep a moment ago, but after the sonic hearing system issued a warning, the half-elf boy immediately woke up.

The footsteps at the entrance of the cave were getting closer and closer. Loki glanced hastily in the darkness and was immediately shocked when he saw the torn linen cloth covering the face of the young corpse.

He put away the piece of linen cloth as quickly as possible, and at the same time restored the rest of the cave to its original state as much as possible.

His fast movements were almost perfectly combined with basic stealth techniques, and he didn't make a single sound.

The moment Loki hurriedly hid behind a stone wall, the light of the torch immediately pulsed, illuminating the depths of the cave where the half-elf boy had been just now.

Loki didn't dare to look up, he just kept his breathing down as much as possible, hiding himself and waiting for the other person to leave.

The footsteps of the visitor were heavy and powerful, like an adult wearing a pair of hard leather shoes. The sound stopped near the body, and Loki could guess it with just his ears.

"Mir...Sen, I'll come back to see you."

The voice was extremely hoarse, like fingernails scratching an iron sheet, which made Loki frown. Moreover, this murderous guy was stumped when he came back. Did he have something to say that he couldn't finish?

"You are the teacher's best apprentice, Milson, and you want to compete with me for the wealth in that notebook, so I can't keep you."

"Besides, I can't let the old guy from the academy find you, I want you to... disappear completely!"

After saying that, there was a rustling sound from that place, as if the visitor was taking out something, and then he heard him put down the torch in his hand.

Suddenly, the man's hoarse voice read aloud an obscure and profound spell that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Why is it said to be a spell? When the first character of this voice started to be spoken, Loki felt a creepy feeling in his body, which was like the fear coming from an ordinary soul.

There was something magical about this spell, he was convinced.

Is this a witch?An evil wizard who makes ordinary people change their minds when they hear it?

Loki's thoughts were racing, and at the same time he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and carefully held his breath to reduce the possibility of being exposed as much as possible.

After the curse that sounded like an evil wizard ended, another sound of "sand, sand" suddenly came.

The sound sounded familiar, like the sound of countless beetles crawling by and gnawing with their mouthparts.
