"If we assu that the shadow beast is Ken, then most of the questions can be explained."
Li Ang said lightly, "Because the shadow beast belonged to humans, his body did not disappear after leaving the underground palace due to the refresh chanism;
Because the shadow beast belonged to a creation of the gods, it could easily exist for more than fifty years;
In the first trial of the adventurer party, they brought Ken, who was severely injured,
As a result, during the trial process or after completing the trial, Ken died,
The adventurer party used a wishing opportunity to request his resurrection.
The wishing machine might have been unwilling to waste too much energy,
Or reviving a human was too difficult, even the wishing machine couldn't manage,
Or perhaps Ken's body was too fragnted,
Or it was simply the wishing machine's mischievous nature,
In any case, Ken, resurrected, wasn't as 'complete' as the adventurer party had imagined.
After consuming a wishing opportunity, the adventurer party left the sacred mountain, and over the next year,
They tried to heal or redy Ken, who was already in a non-human state."
Li Ang paused, then calmly said, "After a year, the adventurer party decided to ascend the sacred mountain once again.
Since Ken was already resurrected by the wishing chanism, the best state the wishing machine could achieve, making another wish was futile,
So this ti, the adventurer party didn't wish for this,
But instead returned to the beginning, wishing to help Teresa solve the mystery of her dreams.
However, the answer they received after wishing left the adventurer party exceptionally shocked, even terrified,
The leader Ramont Jones, elf archer Hunter Oak, mage Solomon, priest Teresa, all four voluntarily stayed inside the sacred mountain,
Allowing the necromancer Finn to leave the sacred mountain region alone, to find a way to destroy the holy mountain gate outside, preventing future adventurer parties from entering again.
Finn then inford Ken, who transford into his shadow beast state, burst through the guardian village guards, seized the bricks of the holy mountain gate, sealing the path into the sacred mountain.
Until fifty years later, when we, the new adventurers, appeared."
Other players leaped out of the tunnel and also saw a hall resembling a sacrificial field, with Ramont sitting beside the burning longsword, and the fog door behind him.
"The adventurer party likely stayed inside the sacred mountain intending to stop later explorers from wishing.
On one hand, Solomon and Teresa continued researching corpse mutation,
On the other hand, they explored inside the sacred mountain, staying in rooms at each entrance leading to the next level, linking with the chanisms in the rooms, creating obstacles for potential explorers—
This is also because of a special chanism in the sacred mountain that absorbs magic power, forcing the adventurer party to disperse.
And due to this magic absorption chanism, the adventurer party soon died,
With those containing the most magic power, Solomon and Teresa, perishing first,
The elf archer Hunter, who had less magic power in his body, died later,
And the team leader, Ramont, who had almost no magic power, lived the longest, even surviving to this day."
Li Ang glanced at Ramont, who sat silently like a statue, and slowly said, "However, so doubts about this conjecture remain unresolved,
For example,
What exactly did the adventurer party, perhaps the world's strongest transcendent beings, hear at the ti, that made them willingly sacrifice themselves, staying inside the sacred mountain, decaying along with it?
Moreover, where is the necromancer Finn, who should have escaped the sacred mountain's range, now?"
Squeak—
A sharp tallic scraping sound ca from the front, and the red human-shaped armor, like a static statue, slowly lifted its head, silently gazing at the players.
After a long silence,
A harsh, deep voice ca from under the armor's visor, "Haven't you already figured out this question..."
'Unbelievably, still alive...'
With a shock in his heart, Ding Zhensi, piloting the Kui Ox cha,
From the sensor display results of the Kui Ox cha, the life fluctuations in the red armor before them had dropped to the limit, no different from a corpse, yet it could still produce sound.
"To say we know might be a bit confident; it's just a rough guess."
Li Ang was not particularly surprised by the red armor's answer and casually said, "Teresa's diary described that on July 13, 1035 in the Goddess Calendar, the adventurer party entered the underground palace for their trial,
Everyone sustained varying degrees of injuries.
Among them, Finn suffered a bite on the chest from a strangely shaped magical beast, and the wound slightly festered, seemingly poisoned, but after treatnt, it still seed under control.
Considering that mbers of the adventurer party all possessed a spirit of sacrifice, he should not have left the sacred mountain's range too far, abandoning his companions,
But rather continued to fulfill his promise to assist the companions inside the sacred mountain in blocking subsequent explorers from entering.
The one who suits these conditions the most on our journey is..."
"Claude."
Hoenhem slowly exhaled a breath of foul air and said coldly, "That three-ard freak has been wandering the forest range for a long ti, possessing high strength,
Fully capable of ambushing and even killing all explorers intending to enter the sacred mountain area.
Moreover, one of his arms grows from his chest, coincidentally matching Teresa's description in the diary of the necromancer Finn's chest being bitten and the wound festering.
Finn and Claude are the sa person."
David squinted his eyes and slowly said, "Precisely because he has been persistently searching for explorers in the forest range, the adventurers entering the guardian village have beco fewer and fewer,
And because he's a team mber, he would understand the sacred mountain and its trials."
David pondered for a mont, slowly speaking, "However, why did he tell us the path to the guardian village,
And give us the first package capable of causing damage to negative energy."
"That's because with his insight, he could easily see that he wasn't a match for all of us.
If it really ca to a fight, under our righteous six-on-one beatdown, his only likelihood was death; causing effective harm was uncertain."
Li Ang casually said, "Besides, with our capabilities, even without his guidance, it would only be a matter of ti before getting out of the forest area, albeit slightly more troubleso.
As for the first package,
I think, it's because Ken, in his shadow beast state, had lost his human consciousness,
Finn or Claude neither wished to see their forr companion lose himself, becoming a magical beast,
Nor did they want to handle it themselves."
"...you, say, what,"
The red armor slowly stood up from the ground, and the tal-crafted hand guard gripped the hilt of the burning longsword, "Ken was killed by you..."
