Chapter 122 Untitled Chapter 1

The propellers spun rapidly, the sky above a blue expanse, below a vast orange-red wilderness. Looking into the distance, strange lines and geometric shapes could be seen randomly distributed across the orange-red land, extending far into the horizon. "Look what that is!" Wuwu exclaimed in surprise, pointing at the ground. Following Wuwu's gaze, the group discovered that the lines and shapes on the ground formed a giant drawing of a monkey! This sight immediately shocked the group heading to Nazca. Previously, they had been walking on the ground, and even when they saw strange lines, they had no idea what they meant. But looking down at this land from thousands of meters above, they realized it was a giant drawing spread across the earth, depicting a monkey! "Do you remember the creature that attacked the Arle mine? It seems to have been drawn by this geoglyph!" Wuwu said. On their flight from Lima to the Nazca region, they learned about the mineral veins from Osto and saw some information about the strange apes. What they never expected was that the ape's image was etched into the Nazca Forbidden Area. While not exactly lifelike, from a high altitude, the earth served as a canvas, and the lines formed the ape's silhouette—it was truly incredible! "Look ahead!!" At that moment, Wuwu spotted something else and shouted. Wuwu was piloting the helicopter, and following Wuwu's directions, they flew towards the location. Numerous spiral patterns appeared on the ground, along with straight lines, as if a sophisticated instrument had made a vertical cut in the earth. These spiral patterns and straight lines formed a picture of a strange bird. Even though it was just a pictographic outline, everyone was certain that it was the same strange bird that had attacked them before! The strange bird image spread across the ground, slightly obscured by a cloud below, yet the cloud still couldn't completely conceal its form. It was clearly larger and more imposing than the previous strange ape image… This… this is the Nazca Lines?! So awe-inspiring!! Wuwu had already learned some information from Lingling, but witnessing the Nazca Lines with her own eyes still left her utterly stunned!! How was this possible?! Human vision on the ground is extremely limited; it's impossible to create a precise line hundreds of meters long on the earth. Wuwu and the others had actually been here before, but they hadn't discovered the secret of these lines at all. Only this time, thousands of meters above the ground, could they barely discern them… This kind of geoglyph is an engineering feat that humans simply couldn't accomplish, especially since, according to Lingling's information, this geoglyph has existed for a very long time!! "Over there, there's… a spider!" Wuwu pointed in another direction and said to everyone. The Spider Geoglyph! As the helicopter changed direction again, the spider geoglyphs suddenly appeared in everyone's wide field of vision. The spider geoglyphs looked even more detailed, as if they were suddenly spread up from the ground. These geoglyphs were so huge, the powerful lines outlining a mysterious and awe-inspiring presence, clearly sending a warning signal. "If I had known there were these things drawn on the ground, I definitely wouldn't have stepped into it!" Wuwu said with lingering fear. "Yeah, how could we have been so careless?" "The Strange Bird Geoglyphs, we stepped into the soil of the Strange Bird Geoglyphs, didn't we?" Wuwu said. "Wuwu, how did you know all this?" Wuwu turned around and asked. When they arrived in the Nazca region, everyone intended to proceed on foot, because flying is prohibited in any dangerous area, which is basic common sense when venturing into the wilderness. But Wuwu's idea was to fly in directly in a helicopter, hoping for unexpected discoveries. Sure enough, walking on the ground and looking down from the air are completely different concepts. The secrets of Nazca seem to have been kept hidden from humans, as insignificant as grains of sand, from the very beginning; only the giants could understand their mysteries. "No wonder the locals say this is a forbidden land of the gods. These paintings are simply left behind by ancient giants; it's incredible," Wuwu exclaimed with deep emotion. "So what should we do now? We're being targeted by the strange bird's curse. How can we get rid of this curse?" Wuwu didn't care about miracles; he just wanted to get rid of this damned curse as quickly as possible. "Let's go down to the strange bird geoglyphs," Wuwu said. Wuwu didn't know what to do next. Lingling had given him very little information, and these mysterious things unknown to others were only learned by Lingling from Old Man Bao. Wuwu was actually quite puzzled. Wasn't Old Man Bao just an experienced hunter from a hunting lodge? Why would he know about such events abroad? Could this old man have some other extraordinary identity? "Boom!" With a loud crash, the black helicopter shook violently and slammed to the ground. The passengers screamed, thinking they'd been attacked the moment they landed. Just as they were about to grab their weapons, a low, whirring voice came from the pilot's seat: "Sorry, I've only been flying for a dozen hours, so my takeoffs and landings aren't very smooth." Whirring was a mage; they hadn't really studied military aircraft piloting seriously. Seeing the helicopter half-tied to the ground, everyone was exasperated. Why did he so righteously kick out the Peruvian pilot? They were under orders!

"The one at seven o'clock, the one swaying left and right, I'll mark it for you!" Wuwu's eyesight was excellent; it spotted a white-headed ape with a golden tail. A beam of light was thrown at the ape, illuminating it and making it glow with golden light, standing out among the group of black apes. "Well done!" Wuwu locked onto the shimmering white-headed ape. The ape realized it had been found and was about to retreat when Wuwu executed a precise, long-range ground slam, blasting it towards the ground. Just as the shimmering white-headed ape was about to escape, the mountain beneath its feet suddenly cracked open, and a torrent of molten lava burst forth, transforming into a vibrant flower of death that completely engulfed the ape! Instantly, a large group of white-headed apes in front of it turned to dust and vanished. The road ahead suddenly opened up, and Wuwu and Wuwu rushed forward, quickly reaching the downhill section. Looking down from the top of the downhill section, they could see the entire mineral basin, filled with white-headed apes. It was as if they were holding a gathering, blocking several large mine entrances. The cries of the white-headed apes were like thunder, shaking the mine. In the past, Wuwu would have definitely run away at the sight of this terrifying scene; it was simply impossible for one person to handle it. But now he knew the pattern, and his sharp eyes quickly searched for the golden tail hairs. "I'll mark them!" Wuwu Guangyao flipped his hand and threw it upwards. The golden light fell down, and when it touched the black and white fur of the white-headed apes, it didn't have any special reaction, but as soon as it shone on the golden tail hairs, it immediately made them shine. "Radiance has this ability too!" Wuwu said in surprise. "Don't underestimate me, okay?" Wuwu smiled confidently. With Wuwu's Radiance Mark, those symbolic creatures had nowhere to hide. Wuwu used every spell perfectly, accurately and swiftly blasting away the key monster apes! Mid-level spells, and even low-level spells, could instantly eliminate hundreds of monster apes, making the battle not as terrifying as they had imagined. The two fought their way down the slope into the mine basin, gradually approaching the mine entrance. "We need to hurry. If the monster ape army directly ahead comes back, we'll have a hard time dealing with them," Wuwu said. If the number of monster apes was too great to handle, and it was difficult to lock onto the symbolic monster ape, the two of them would still be in trouble, so they had to finish the battle quickly. ... "What's going on outside?" the mine manager asked near the entrance. "Two people are approaching us," a mine mage said. "Two...two people??" the mine manager was stunned. "There are definitely two people." Several mine mages stood at the edge of the barrier, barely able to see a corner outside. In that corner, two incredibly young mages were charging towards them, annihilating hundreds of strange apes with a wave of their hands, as easily as brushing away dust. This scene left the mine mages in disbelief. Could it be that a Supreme Mage of the highest rank had come to rescue them? Could there be such a young Supreme Mage of the highest rank? "Open the door, let us in!" Wuwu shouted towards the mine's barrier entrance through the large group of strange apes. The mine mages dared not open the barrier, still watching cautiously. Wuwu and Wuwu were quite helpless. If they forced their way to the mine entrance, the number of strange apes was now so large that it was difficult to distinguish which were the symbolic apes. They had to enter the cave as soon as possible. "Wuwu, there are two on your left!" Wuwu cast a radiant spell, marking the two golden-tailed strange apes. "Scatter!" Wuwu suddenly spread his arms, unleashing a spatial vortex that swept outwards, repelling all the charging monster apes. His gaze swept across the area, and he saw the two symbolic monster apes Wuwu had mentioned. He threw out a scroll of the Thunder Throne Book, lightning flashing and thunder roaring! A bolt of lightning shot out, piercing through dozens of monster apes aligned in the same line, precisely striking the two symbolic ones… Wuwu's timing was impeccable; the two were positioned in a straight line, and the lightning bolt arrived in less than a second, instantly killing dozens of phantom monster apes along with them!! Instantly, a large swarm of monster apes was annihilated, as if the nightmare of a thousand armies had been abruptly ended, leaving only emptiness around them. "Damn it, those two symbolic ones created at least a thousand phantoms!" Seeing the astonishing destruction around him, Wuwu couldn't help but curse. With the symbol's death and the annihilation of thousands of phantom apes, the area outside the mine suddenly became much safer. The mine's mages, witnessing this, were utterly astonished. These two young mages were simply too incredible! They wiped out thousands of apes in the blink of an eye!!

A portrait was produced and handed to the mine manager. Before coming in, Wuwu had instructed General Mort to find the guy who stole the Nazca Gem. Wuwu, Wuwu, and Wuwu had all seen the man, described his appearance, and retrieved the files of miners and mine mages. After eliminating possibilities and searching one by one, they easily found someone who matched the description. The files indicated that the thief was an ordinary miner, and it was unclear how he had broken into Nazca and stolen the gem. None of this concerned Wuwu. He only wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible and return the Nazca Bird Eye Stone. Otherwise, the fifth wave of Nazca Birds would be doomed. Even if they knew the symbolic pattern, they still had no hope of survival against what could be a million-strong army of birds. "Why do we need him?" the fat manager asked, puzzled. "Do you want to live? If you do, find this guy quickly," Wuwu said impatiently. The fat supervisor had witnessed Wuwu's powerful annihilation abilities before, and seeing his anger, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly dispatched several mine mages to find the man. ...Although there were more than three thousand miners in the cave, finding them wasn't too difficult once their names were known. The miner named Shelton was quickly brought before Wuwu and Wuwu by the mine mages. Wuwu carefully examined him and said to Wuwu with certainty, "It's him!" Shelton initially feigned innocence, but once he realized his actions had been discovered, he immediately pushed aside the two mages beside him and fled into the depths of the mine like a madman. "Still trying to run away? You've caused such a huge disaster, and you still don't know how to repent. Do you really want these three thousand people to perish with you?" Wuwu sneered and threw out the giant shadow nail in his hand. The fourth-level Giant Shadow Nails were no ordinary weapon. Countless shadowy nails danced wildly across the miner Shelton's body, embedding themselves in his flesh and immobilizing him completely! Wuwu immediately followed, searching Shelton's body. "What are you doing? Why are you trapping me like this?!" Shelton yelled. "Wuwu, the item isn't on him," Wuwu said, turning around with a frown. "He must be hiding it in this cave," Wuwu said. Shelton was just an ordinary person. Although it was unknown how he moved freely in the perilous Nazca Lines, he must have been pursued when he stole the Eye of the Nazca Bird. He didn't return to the mine to continue working; he most likely hid the Eye of the Nazca Bird here. There's no better place to hide a gem than a mining area. After learning the truth, the mine manager immediately mobilized more than 3,000 miners to search the mine. Everyone was just trying to survive, so they searched with all their might, digging three feet into the ground to find the gem.
