Chapter 78: Withering

Clopera's plan of wishful thinking was very good.

As an external expert in the X Foundation branch, Gu Yun has a very high status in the local area. If he can prove that the withered vegetation has nothing to do with him, at least she can handle the foundation's investigation.

Now the archaeological team is much more troublesome than before. They need to go through a series of strict reviews before each departure. If the foundation makes some moves during this process, it will greatly slow down her progress in finding her collection.

"Have you ever thought about what if we find that vegetation withered later, it is indeed caused by you?"

However, Gu Yun raised a very tricky question.

After a series of self-destructions by Clopera just now, he seriously suspected that the strange thing that happened in the suburbs of the city this morning was actually caused by the cultural relics "smuggled" by Clopera.

Faced with Gu Yun's question, Clopera fell into silence without any surprise.

After a long time, she coughed lightly and said, "So, we haven't met today."

If things really reached an irreversible point, she could only pack her luggage and go to other cities to avoid the limelight. She heard that Jiang Man has been doing well in City F recently, and it seems that there is a good choice.

“…Who did you learn these from?”

During the second meeting, the last queen completely subverted Gu Yun's impression - she ran away when she made a mistake. This behavior was not done by the queen, but was comparable to the little thief.

Clopera wasn't like this before.

“Self-taught.”

Clopera said seriously, "Do you think I'm easy?"

The space collapsed, and the kingdom she was familiar with became the dust of history overnight. Without the service of servants around her, she had to learn everyday life from scratch. Moreover, when they were in City F, they offended Green Winchester thoroughly, and she did not dare to be too high-profile. The Hidden God still cares about the remaining pages of "Duzzle Demon" on her.

In such an entangled environment, can people do it without learning to be smart?

Gu Yun was even more puzzled by Clopera's behavior, "Then why do you have to join the archaeological team? It's easier for them to discover it when running around the world?"

After listening to the other party’s description, this is not a good time to develop personal hobbies.

"Of course, it was to collect all my collections and to follow the archaeological team to discover some other magic props. I walked in a hurry and many things were left behind."

If she hadn't lost more than 90% of the collections in the treasure house at once, Clopera would not have been afraid of the minions of the Hidden God Society. In her personal collection, there were several secret treasures with similar power to the Ruby Crown. As thousands of years passed, many of the collections were missing.

"When I recall my collection, even if Green Winchester comes, he will not be able to do anything to me."

Only when she said this sentence, Clopera showed her aura of being high and superior as a queen.

"Okay, then I'll go with you to have a look."

Gu Yun nodded. Clopera's self-reliance state touched him a little. Although the queen's style of behavior has changed a lot, her personality has not been changed by her recent situation.

This is still worthy of admiration.

He glanced at Clopera's sleepy look and asked, "Are you sure you don't plan to sleep?"

"Let's go now, and you won't feel at ease when you have something to do."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Yun, led by Clopera, arrived at the site of the accident.

Nearly three hours have passed since the car accident. The traffic police have cleared the scene and the traffic has returned to smooth flow. The remaining scorch marks on the asphalt road indicate that a traffic accident occurred not long ago on this section.

The peak time for entering and leaving the city was past ten o'clock, so Gu Yun and Clopera would not be too noticeable.

“It’s here.”

After walking along the asphalt road toward the outside of the city for a while, Clopera stopped in front of this barren land.

When she had a car accident before, her brain was drowsy and she had not carefully looked at the land that was full of unknown details.

Clopera's face became a little solemn, "Now you can tell that this is not my business anymore, right?"

After seeing the scene in front of her, she realized that there was a serious mistake in the news report.

Withering is not just vegetation. The soil is filled with insects with empty shells and rotten animal corpses. Using this as a boundary, there seems to be no sign of life within a radius of 100 meters.

Her collection could not be destroyed at this level, which was a spell that was much more profound than she imagined.

Gu Yun's perception is much stronger than Clopera.

Compared with Clopera's speculation, he could confirm that there was no sign of life on this land, and even insects were dead under the soil.

He had seen many powerful spells on the battlefield that could level the surface of a hundred meters in radius, but this land was different from any spells he had seen. All creatures did not seem to have been destroyed by external forces, but began to collapse from the inside.

The supernatural event occurred around 7:30 in the morning, but these vegetation, insects and animals seemed to have died for several years.

Gu Yun asked, "Have you noticed other abnormal scenes before the car accident?"

He felt that to do this, at least one needs to carefully arrange a huge magic array or chant for a long time. When the event occurs, someone should notice an unusual phenomenon.

"Actually..."

Clopera said seriously, "I think it's very unusual for me to fall asleep while driving."

The reason she didn't mention this before was because this sentence sounded like excusing her traffic accident.

But she is not an ordinary person.

She used to be the most talented high priest in the entire kingdom, and also mastered the mystery of "Dushimo". Logically speaking, even if she was in a state of extreme distress, it would be difficult for her to fall asleep like an ordinary person.

unless……

While she was extremely distressed, there was another force interfering with her consciousness.

When Clopera thought of this possibility, he felt a chill behind his back.

In other words, when the car accident happened, there might be a magician at the scene who was comparable to her, or even above her?

And she slept almost without defense in such an environment for more than half an hour?

Fortunately, this was just an unexpected encounter.

The other party’s target was not her, and she had a car accident in this special location only out of accidents.

But even though that was said, Clopera felt a little unhappy.

This feeling was like she had lost inexplicably to a stranger who didn't even know her name in the field she was best at.

"I decided."

She stared at the dead earth in front of her and said, "I want to find that guy!"
