Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 342: Soul-hanging Cliff
Frog once again returned to the milestone spirit candle at the [Ghost Crow Village].

However, Carlos, who was sitting next to him, seemed not to notice his arrival. He just stared blankly in the direction of the palace.

Seeing this, Frog felt a little complicated.

If I hadn't helped Carlos find his body, perhaps he wouldn't be what he is now...

After calling out a few times, Carlos came to his senses and apologized to Frog with a hint of apology.

"Sorry, Frog, I got distracted."

"..." Frog was silent for a moment before he spoke: "...I asked the candle keeper, you can't go to Candlewood Island...I'm sorry..."

"That's it..."

Carlos felt a little regretful when he heard this, but he was not too disappointed. Instead, a look of relief appeared on his face.

"It's okay. Although it's disappointing that I can't go to your hometown, you have helped me a lot, Frog. Don't blame yourself for it."

Carlos seemed to see what was on Frog's mind and what he hadn't said, and he smiled at him and spoke sincerely from the bottom of his heart.

"For me, being able to see these truths means I have no regrets."

"If you continue to live in the form of a head, that would be real torture."

As he said this, he stood up and stretched out his pale and stiff bird claws towards Frog.

"Come on, my friend, we still have some way to go."

"See the truth, see what is hidden in the shadows."

After listening to what he said.

Frog was silent for a moment, then he firmly stretched out his hand and stood up.

"Then... let's go."

……

After crossing the large lake on the Spirit Fire Sail, the two headed towards the cliff.

"what……"

"It's so painful..."

"kill me……"

The road to the cliff was not peaceful either. Frog and Carlos often encountered some winged zombies. They had lost their minds and had mutilated bodies. They would roar and attack any living thing they saw.

But this was not a big threat to the frogs, as they were not very strong. However, the low roar made the wailing from above even more terrifying.

The further they went, the more zombies there were. Some of them had become extremely twisted, with only a pair of dry hands, trying to grab the two and keep them here forever.

It is worth mentioning that these zombies are not all winged people, there are also some from other races, but because their limbs are incomplete, their original appearance can no longer be recognized.

This gave Frog a headache.

A single weak monster is easy to deal with, but if it's a group, it will be a little troublesome and you need to be more cautious.

Boom!

Just as Frog was thinking this, the soil in front of him suddenly cracked open, and several hideous zombies quickly crawled out of the ground.

Obviously an elite monster.

And the opponent is about to come with a bunch of monsters, and the situation will become even more difficult.

"Let me do it."

Just then, Carlos spoke up and signaled Frog to step back.

Then he ignited the fire in his body, and it burst into flames.

But what was strange was that the color of the fire had turned purple-black, which was obviously not the color of the fire that pilgrims should have, and was closer to the shadow.

Carlos condensed this strange fire, made it burn in the center of his claws, bent down, and raised it above his head.

Then, he walked slowly forward, muttering to himself.

"I am a pilgrim, walking on behalf of darkness..."

"A soulless body..."

"Those who are unwilling to leave will become part of the darkness and wander in pain forever..."

As Carlos' voice was heard, strange things began to happen.

The zombies that had just bared their fangs and claws and wanted to devour the two of them suddenly stopped their movements and began to flee in panic, their hoarse voices filled with instinctive fear.

The several fat zombies that were piled up covered their heads and wailed in pain, their bodies collapsing into a pool of rotten meat.

Just like that, the zombies that were originally densely packed all over the uphill road quickly retreated like the tide.

Carlos walked forward holding the dim flame.

"Frog, follow me."

Carlos' voice was hoarse.

The originally extremely difficult situation was easily resolved by Carlos.

This……

Frog did not feel happy. Instead, he looked at Carlos' back with a sinking heart.

He took a deep breath, didn't say much, and just followed silently.

On the way, Frog also saw some glowing dropped objects and went forward to pick them up.

[Obtained: Lost Ferryman's Scythe (Excellent)]

[Obtained: Zombie's Old Finger (Excellent)]

[Obtained: Pilgrim's Hat (Normal)]

Although these three things are of limited use to Frog now, Frog can still see some clues about this cliff from the above descriptions.

[Lost Ferryman's Scythe (Excellent)]

[Type: Weapon]

[Effect: Provides a small increase in agility when held, and -6 faith]

[Explanation: A lost ferryman came to his burial place when he was lost. ]

【Zombie's Old Finger (Excellent)】

[Type: consumables]

[Effect: After being activated with war fire and pointed at the target, the body will be frozen for a certain period of time.]

[Explanation: The arrival of the extinction moment has led to the emergence of a large number of zombies, but in the eyes of some zombies, they are just weak descendants. However... the old zombies don’t know why they came to such a place...]

【Pilgrimage Hat (Normal)】

【Type: Hat】

[Effect: Faith +1]

[Description: A devout worshipper who dislikes mainstream beliefs, he finally worships the god in his mind, even if the price is another kind of death.]

After reading the descriptions of these weapons, equipment and props, Frog frowned slightly.

Sure enough, just as the appearance of the corpses showed, the owners of these things seemed to have little to do with the Feathered People.

“They came from all over the world…”

"Either you throw yourself into the darkness, or you are attracted to the darkness..."

"But no matter what, the darkness will not end well for them."

Although Carlos didn't look up, he seemed to be able to guess Frog's thoughts and explained in a hoarse voice.

"Why?" Frog frowned.

"No reason." Carlos replied: "The darkness under the light is just like this."

Carlos seemed to have obtained a lot of information from his own body, but it was probably not good information.

Conversation room.

The two finally reached the top of the cliff.

Here, the wailing of the souls hanging below the cliff became more and more obvious. Frog could hear their voices clearly. They told their pain to the darkness over and over again.

But the darkness ignored it.

Frog followed the guidance of the spirit candle and came to a rather remote place, and lit up the milestone spirit candle.
