Chapter 566 Old Acquaintances

A quest in the level of Legendary meant a huge amount of EXP.

Chances were that there would even be excellent equipment.

However, the higher a quest’s level was, the more dangerous it would be.

For the players, the danger was only the potential loss they might suffer, but for the natives of this world, the dangers were real, and they could be killed. All the three of them focused their eyes on Roland.

As hybrids, they didn’t care much about the lives and deaths of humans. Besides, they were in the middle of a dangerous desert, and they should generally stay out of trouble.

However, the problem was that they all knew very well that Roland, a human being, was the leader of the team.

Under these circ.u.mstances, only he had the power to decide whether they should just leave or check it out.

Roland withdrew his attention from the quest menu and snapped his fingers, and the sand before him quickly split up. A rock building took shape.

“You hide in there. I’ll go and take a look.”

The vulpera prince sneered. He felt that Roland was simply too nosy.

If the man hadn’t been so nosy in the beginning, he would’ve already returned to his clan’s territory.

Marilyn shouted from not far away, “Master! Take me with you!”

“No, I can’t.” Roland shook his head. “You’ll stay here with Maromatha and keep an eye on this vulpera prince. Got it?”

Roland appeared very serious.

Marilyn said helplessly, “Okay.”

Ever since she accidentally caused the death of her two friends because of the Benediction last time, Marilyn had changed a lot. In nature, she was still as perky as before, but she became much more obedient.

After the black cat took the camels and the vulpera prince into the building, Roland buried it in the sand with his mental power. The building was large enough, and the oxygen inside wouldn’t be used up any time soon. Even if Roland was caught up in something and couldn’t make it back, it would still be very easy for Maromatha, as a spatial Mage, to escape with the others.

After that, he took off with Human Cannonball.

Soon after he soared into the sky, he saw the oasis in the distance.

There was usually a lake in an oasis, and one could see the reflections of sunlight in the lake from the sky.

It was like a brilliant sapphire in the middle of the yellow desert.

Roland flew straight at the lake and then cast Slow Landing on himself so that he floated in midair.

He looked down and frowned faintly.

The lake was surrounded by a huge amount of blood as well as certain tiny black spots. At the center of the circle was a hill that was made of unknown elements.

As Roland descended, he soon saw the hill more clearly.

It was a hill that was piled up exclusively with bodies.

Near the hill of bodies, some thirty men in black robes were bowing and paying their respects to it.

On the top of the hill, there was also a weird black statue.

Roland was of a mind to throw down a fireball, but he soon dropped the idea.

It was because the blue fireball was so powerful that the entire oasis would likely be wiped out if he cast it.

He was afraid that innocent people, such as any hostages and survivors in the hill of bodies, were still down below. So, he unleashed his mental power and scanned from the sky.

His immense mental power covered up the oasis.

Very soon, everything down below was reflected in his head.

As he expected… there were two points of feeble mental power reactions from the hill of bodies.

Besides that, there were another three points from the lake in the oasis.

The mental power of human beings was greatly different from that of animals, so Roland could rule out the possibility that they were animals.

It meant that there were still five survivors.

He felt lucky that he didn’t throw the blue fireball just now.

Apart from those five points, there were another thirty sources of mental power that were highly unsteady and stinky.

They carried an unspeakable smell that was a mixture of rotten meat and cilantro.

Such chaotic mental power indicated that they were likely cultists.

While a net of mental power could be useful in reconnaissance, it could be easily sensed too.

Besides, when the net of mental power touched someone else, they would feel that their body was fondled, which was rather uncomfortable. So, n.o.body would extend their mental power to someone else easily.

But under these circ.u.mstances, there was no need to care about that.

Those men in black robes, who were likely cultists, soon sensed Roland’s mental power and looked up.

Exactly at this moment, more than thirty blue enormous Hands of Magic hovering above Roland’s head fell from the sky.

He floated above the hill of bodies. Before the cultists could react, a ring of magic waves had swept across half of the oasis with him as the center.

Within a radius of fifty meters, the sand was covered in frost, and even the lake was half frozen too.

All the men in robes were stuck to the iced sand.
