If the legendary pirate Bodean had truly become a god, then his path might have involved both sides. This was a relatively novel way to become a god. On the one hand, Bo De’an’s foundation of becoming a god was martial arts, and on the other hand, it was a famous song similar to faith.

Belief is the greatest significance of the existence of a religion, but religion is not the same as belief. As long as the world believed in the existence and miracles of a certain god and spread it out through mouth, then faith already existed.

This is what the legendary pirate Bodean did. Countless people in the Border Gate region believed in his legendary experience and passed it down from generation to generation. This actually constitutes faith.

If Bodean hadn’t fallen, would he have given up his original name and become a god of the current marine god system? Or would he have temporarily become a holy spirit, waiting for an opportunity to replace a god?

His time was only a few hundred years ago, and for the Holy Spirit and the gods, this was a fairly short process.

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with the assassin. What he really wanted was the inheritance that Bodean might have left behind. His martial skills were secondary, and the focus was on the notes of the legendary pirates’ experiences on their career paths.

Thinking of this, the assassin no longer hesitated. He disappeared from his original position and chased after Qin Lun and the others. No matter what, the team in front of him was his only clue.

…

“Qin Lun, did you notice? Our mission hasn’t disappeared yet!” Hill interacted with his two companions on the guild channel.

“En!” Qin Lun nodded. The “Trace of Bodean” on the death list was still there. They had already left the Land of Death and entered the territory of the Giant Demon’s Claw. This meant that the legendary pirates had probably been here before.

Although none of them, including Mastasia, had discovered any new clues, their soul imprints were connected to the shattered starry sky. Perhaps at some point, they had inadvertently seen the traces left behind by Bodean, and Apostle was unable to identify them, which did not mean that the starry sky was impossible to measure.

“In the current situation, there is no need for us to deliberately look for clues about Bodean. The greatest benefit of this mission is that it saves us the time we need to stay here.” The three of them felt a little helpless. After this adventure in the Land of Death, they had already realized the danger here.

If it weren’t for Elistine, with the shrewdness of the three of them, they would probably have chosen the safest route to withdraw from the Giant Demon’s Claw. In this kind of place, their strength was still somewhat insufficient. They were easily hunted down by legendary creatures. It was truly beyond their capabilities.

“Haha, aren’t you a little discouraged? No matter how much you increase your strength, you will always feel crushed by the mission world!” Qin Lun thought for a moment and said happily.

“Indeed!” Hill and Rand looked at each other and smiled bitterly. If it weren’t for the Meteor Pendant, a Tier 9 Magic Scroll, they would definitely have died last night. Without the help of external objects, neither Qin Lun’s Abyss Devil Transformation nor Hill or Rand’s trump cards would be able to contend against the Ghost-Faced Squid.

“Prepare yourselves. If you can find a true epic quest next, then this adventure has only just begun.” Qin Lun sighed and cautiously reminded his two companions.

As the three of them spoke, they saw the thief who was exploring the path ahead rushing towards them.

“There’s no road ahead, but there are two more caves.” Lago’s words were somewhat contradictory, causing everyone to be surprised.

However, when everyone turned a small corner of the canyon rift, they immediately understood what the thief meant. There was indeed no road ahead, and a steep mountain wall completely blocked the way, as if the crack in the mountain range had already reached its end.

However, there was a small cave on the left and right of the mountain wall. Judging from the traces near the cave, it seemed that it was not a beast den, but a man-made cave, because its shape was more orderly.

Of course, these two caves looked exceptionally dilapidated. They were filled with spider webs and moss. Obviously, no one had visited this place for a long time.

“Could it be a relic left behind by Bodean?” Lago thought of treasures and other things again. His narrow eyes shone brightly. It was not so much greed as curiosity.

Seeing the Thief’s expression, Qin Lun and the others felt strange. The three Blood Stabbing Mercenaries they hired were indeed interesting. Very few of them could resist the temptation of the treasure, but there were actually three in front of them at once.

“Let’s rest for a while and have my hunting companions explore the path for us.” Qin Lun thought for a while and suggested that the team stop to rest. After walking for half a day, the sky darkened.

The summoned Dark Shadow Gale Leopard made Winnie’s eyes shine brightly. She really liked this big cat with beautiful fur. Unfortunately, Venus strangers were not allowed to get close. The grinning of her teeth made the female mage unable to help but feel sorrowful in her heart. She did not dare to get too close.

After the middle of the night, Venus finally finished exploring the cave on the left. There were no traps inside, and it was a dead end.

However, according to the consciousness conveyed by the Shadow Gale Leopard, there seemed to be something strange in this cave. Venus did not quite understand what those things represented. He only knew that they were artificial creations.

“Treasure, treasure!” Before he could finish listening to Qin Lun’s words, the Thief’s eyes lit up. He flashed into the cave, causing everyone to laugh bitterly. It was still not dawn.

Mustacha made a torch out of some scattered dead branches in the canyon cracks and brought everyone inside. Even though Venus had already said that there were no traps inside, everyone was still cautious. Magical beasts were different from humans in size. Who knew if there were any traps specifically designed to deal with humanoid creatures.

When they entered the depths of the cave, they finally saw what the Shadow Gale Leopard had said about artificial creations, and their hearts were filled with disappointment. There was no treasure here, it looked like a dilapidated altar, and it was a place that had already been abandoned.

The altar was in the shape of a staircase. According to Mastasia’s observation, this place did not look like an altar set up by humans. Instead, it was an even more ancient and primitive sacrificial place. It was most likely a place where trolls would offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

Everyone searched the cave and found that there was almost nothing valuable here. A few broken pots that were almost fossilized, some specially made pieces of meat that had been air-dried into mummies, and two candlesticks carved from troll calf bones.

At first, everyone didn’t quite believe that it was the calf bone of a troll. How could it be used as a clansman’s skeletal carving tool? Even if it was a non-human creature, it would be too damaging.

However, Mastasia explained that this was not necessarily the remains of the ancestor of the sacrificial tribe, and it was also possible that it belonged to a hostile tribe. There would be fights between the various tribes of trolls, and it was not uncommon for the remains of the other side’s warriors to be used as sacrificial items.

“If this cave is a sacrificial place dug out by a troll, then another cave may have a passage to the interior of the troll’s claw.” Mustacha quickly thought of a possibility.

Without any hesitation, everyone immediately retreated from the cave and headed towards the cave on the right side of the mountain wall. Qin Lun recalled Venus and maintained the existence of the Shadow Gale Leopard in the middle of the night.

“Unfortunately, my hunting companion is not here.” Mastasia felt a little regretful. Before entering the Land of Death, the demonic beak that everyone had discovered was her hunting companion. However, the environment of the Land of Death was not suitable for Demonic Beak, so Mastasia did not bring it in.

After entering another cave, Qin Lun and Masta Xia were the ones exploring the path. Although there were several torches, the eyesight of the two Elves was clearly more effective than that of the thieves in this situation.

This cave was different from the previous one. Although there were traces of artificial carving at the entrance of the cave, there was a large karst cave inside. The space was very large. The cave was tens of meters tall and more than ten meters wide. The ground was somewhat rugged, and from time to time, large stalagmites could be seen.

Some of the stalagmites converged with the stalactites hanging upside down from the top of the cave, forming two thick, narrow stone pillars in the middle. This scene was so mysterious that both Hill and Rand couldn’t help but think of some underground caverns in the Federation of Earth.

Of course, today, those places have long become famous tourist attractions.

As they went deeper into the cave, everyone’s mood relaxed. It seemed that there were no artificially set traps here. The trolls didn’t seem to be as cautious as the other intelligent races in Ferren Continent. Perhaps Toril World had given them a powerful physique that allowed them to ignore the use of tools and the natural environment around them.

“Aiyo!” Just as everyone relaxed, Veni suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.

She had just kicked something beside her feet, and it flew far away, smashing into the stone wall of the cave, making a loud “clang” sound, and the echo spread far and wide through the cave.

“What is this?” The female mage took two steps forward and bent down to pick up the object she had just kicked.

“Jurassic beast’s shoulder blade?” Rick said with some uncertainty.

Jurassic beasts are not uncommon in Ferren Continent. They look like rats but are the size of wild boars. Cowardly and gentle, omnivorous animals are used in many hotels to make delicious soups and jerky.

“Silence, I think I heard something?” The thief who had gone from exploring the road to being cut off suddenly frowned and listened to the slightest movement.

Everyone paused. Since Lago had said that, it was obvious that it wasn’t Winnie’s voice just now. Qin Lun’s left eye flickered with light. The cave image hundreds of meters in front of him turned into black and white and was reflected in his eyes.

‘”This is” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered, “There are animal skeletons and remains everywhere in front of us. This seems to be a special restaurant. I think we’re in trouble!”

‘”Restaurant? Karst cave” Mastasia’s expression changed and she said vigilantly, “Feral, look at the top of the cave and see if you can find any holes the size of fists.”

Qin Lun’s gaze flickered for a moment. He lowered his head and said seriously, “You’re right. There are many holes in there that you mentioned. There are at least several hundred of them.”
