Chapter 1302 A Surprising Answer

"Lord, this house is also neatly arranged, including the wardrobe, drawers and warehouses. There is no mess, but there is no trace of the wood goblin."

In the dead silent and space-distorted village, Louise was controlling several bat golem puppets to check the situation while reporting to Lei Xiaohui.

It is not difficult to see from Louise's slightly blurred starry eyes that she has obviously obtained the vision of those bat golem puppets.

"Lord, my subordinates have seen that there are still wooden goblin dishes on many dining tables that have not completely dissipated. Even after taking two bites, the tableware is still scattered on the tables, chairs or on the ground."

Nan Xing flashed in front of Lei Xiao, stroking his chest uneasily to report.

"Lord, my subordinates even saw rows of staffs neatly placed in several magic tower tree houses, but there were no people in sight."

Nan Yue also followed closely behind, with uneasiness and doubts rippling on her fair face.

"Indeed, my subordinates also saw wands and robes in some wood goblin residences!"

Louise heard the sound and echoed.

As the situation in the wood goblin village became clearer, the group became more and more nervous.

The strange and vast unknown space is distorted, and the wood goblin disappears. Things are obviously getting more and more confusing.

"Lord, not only have all the wood fairies disappeared, but also the captive monsters in several small farms around the village have also lost traces. Even a magic bead monster pond next to the orchard is empty."

A rough voice sounded, and Hu Zhi, who was responsible for investigating the outskirts of the village, hurried back and saluted Lei Xiao with a solemn expression on his chest.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the wood fairies suddenly left en masse, and they left in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to carry them and salute."

Yoniel walked out of a giant tree house with a hollowed-out tree trunk. His old face was full of solemnity and he said: "Did they notice the strange distortion of space and hurriedly went to hide in a shelter?"

"But this doesn't make sense. If the wood goblin left in such a hurry, why didn't she take the most important equipment with her and instead take care of the captive monsters and the magic bead monster in the pool?"

Shuerte's old wood-carving face was full of confusion, and he frowned and said.

"Is it to get food?"

Chaoyan tilted his head and blurted out.

"It doesn't look like it. Regardless of the fact that emergency supplies must be stored in the shelter, even if you need to bring food, you should first consider the food at home, right?"

Cornette commanded the alchemy puppet to be on guard nearby. He shook his head and said, "The current situation is that the food and clothing in all the wooden houses have not been moved. This is obviously not in line with common sense."

"Furthermore, since the wood goblin left in a hurry, why did it go to all the trouble to take away all the captive monsters?"

Shuert carefully recalled the living habits and various customs of the wood goblins, and said with a puzzled face: "What makes me even more confused is that it is even more incomprehensible to empty the magic bead monster pool in such an emergency. There's no reason the goblins need to do this."

After hearing Shuert's words, the other strong men on our side also frowned in confusion, trying to find the answer to the matter.

"It looks like the situation is weirder than we thought."

Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "I wonder if you have noticed something. From the moment we left the city, except for the raging space wind and the distorted scene, there was only deathly silence everywhere."

"What His Majesty the Human Race said is absolutely true. Even the sound of insects and birds was not heard at all."

When Shuert said this, he suddenly became enlightened and said: "Your Majesty the Human Race, do you mean that not only the wood fairies, captive monsters and magic bead monsters have lost their traces, but also the other animals here have disappeared?"

"Yes, this can perfectly explain our doubts just now. The captive monsters and magic bead monsters were not taken away by the wood goblins, but were lost together with the wood goblins."

Lei Xiao affirmed Shuerte's words, his face became more solemn, and he spoke.

"Your Majesty, human race, are you saying that they all disappeared suddenly? That makes sense. It turns out that the wood fairies did not leave in a hurry, but disappeared suddenly?"

Cornette reacted immediately, his eyes widened and he said: "In this way, whether it is the food that is still warm, or the weapons and equipment that are too late to take away, or the neat house display, everything really makes sense. "

"But this is too unbelievable, isn't it? Is it caused by the twisted space?"

There were several bat golem puppets hovering above Louise's head, and her little face was full of surprise: "How on earth is this done?"

"Although the reason is unknown, this twisted space seems to have the power of passive transmission. At the same time, there are two extremely important issues."

Lei Xiao slowed down and frowned: "The first is where the elves and other animals went, and the second is whether the sudden disappearance or passive teleportation will happen again."

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone nodded in thought while their faces became more and more solemn. It must be said that things were too unbelievable.

"Your Majesty the human race, this strange situation seems to be very similar to the "lost ruins effect". Could it be that the ancestors of all races suddenly disappeared like this? Is this why there is no ancient corpse in the ancient ruins? "

Cornette's face turned a little pale, and he summoned another sixth-level alchemy puppet from the storage ring.

As soon as Cornette said this, everyone became more and more nervous.

If this is really the case, then even the ancestors who were in their glorious period and protected by the gods would not be able to resist the distortion of space, causing them to all disappear, let alone our group.

"It's not certain yet, but I think it's unlikely."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then responded: "There are three reasons. One is that most of the ancient ruins are seriously damaged. They obviously suffered from disasters or wars, but there are no traces of any battle here."

"Secondly, not all the races have disappeared, but some have remained. They have just lost their extremely important memories, but there is no one here."

"Furthermore, along with the disappearance of all races, there were also a large number of weapons and equipment, but the weapons and equipment here are intact."

"The third and most important point is that according to the information I have learned, only the powerful people of all races disappeared that year. There was no large-scale disappearance of ordinary monsters or even insects."

After hearing Lei Xiao's analysis, the nervous mood of the group eased slightly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"But even though this matter is not directly related to the "Lost Ruins Effect", we still haven't figured out the root cause of the matter, let alone prevented it from happening. "

Lei Xiao tightened his grip on Rolandel and told everyone: "You must not take it lightly. We have no way back now. We must resolve this matter as soon as possible while this weird twist has just happened."

Under Lei Xiao's command, our group quickly rearranged their exploration formation and began to continue investigating in the deserted Wood Fairy Village.

Not long after, Louise's curious clear voice rang out again, wondering: "Lord, just as you said, where did the disappeared wood fairies go?"

However, before Louise could finish her words, something unexpected happened suddenly.

Without any warning, the group only felt a bit of cold space wind coming down from the sky, whistling in their ears. Although it was counteracted by Jiang Li's space barrier, Lei Xiao and the rest of our party were not directly affected by the wind. spread.

But with a flash of gray light, the surrounding wood elf village completely changed its appearance, leaving our group stunned.

I saw that the originally intact wood goblin village was almost razed to the ground, with only the charred tree roots and the remains of some houses left. Thick black smoke was rising, and a stomach-turning putrid smell was everywhere.

For a moment, everyone felt as if they were in another world, as if they had suddenly undergone a time travel, and the desolate scene in front of them made everyone tighten their weapons.

Suppressing his inner surprise, Lei Xiao looked intently and took further notice.

The source of the thick black smoke is not the flames, but a black corrosive liquid, which is bubbling black bubbles on the ruins of the village, turning everything into a black viscous object flowing all over the place.

"Your Majesty, judging from the remaining traces of magic, this is an extremely powerful corrosive spell."

Yoniel lowered his body to examine it for a moment, then turned to Lei Xiao with his gray eyebrows and said, "According to my analysis, it takes about half a day to cast the spell."

After Yoniel finished speaking, Shuert, who was currently the most powerful in the team, also nodded, obviously agreeing with the former's view.

"Look over there."

Lei Xiao held Rolandel across his chest and gave everyone a look.

Following Lei Xiao's gaze, everyone was surprised to find out.

Under a broken tree not far away, several short and slender corpses were lying in a mess, with some burn marks and dried blood around them.

When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed further.

These short corpses were all wearing standard robes riddled with holes. Several broken wooden staffs were scattered on the ground. They were obviously a group of soldiers.

The rather conspicuous pointed ears are longer than half-elves but slightly shorter than elves. The two sets of transparent wings behind them are mostly broken. It is the wood elf we have been looking for!

"What the hell is going on? They have been dead for at least a long time!"

Louise lowered her body to check, and then said to Lei Xiao in disbelief: "Lord, have we traveled through time? Is this place the past or the future?"

"Yes, why was the intact village suddenly destroyed in the blink of an eye?"

Chaoyan's fair face was full of confusion, and his head seemed to be on the verge of smoke.

"If you take a closer look, is this really the same wood fairy village just now?"

Lei Xiao signaled Huzhang and other strong men to spread their guard, while nodding towards Louise and Chaoyan.

Under Lei Xiao's prompting, the two of them discovered belatedly that

Although it is very similar to the Wood Elf Village just now, the architectural layout here is not exactly the same. It is just because of the ruins everywhere that it seems difficult to distinguish it for a while.

"So, we have carried out a space teleportation without knowing it?"

Louise patted her smooth forehead and suddenly realized: "And the sudden strong wind in space just now is a sign of teleportation?"

"Although it doesn't have the lightness that occurs when teleporting normally, that's exactly what it is."

Lei Xiao confirmed Louise's words, nodded and said: "If I predict correctly, those wood fairies that suddenly disappeared may have been teleported here."

"Although the main way of movement of wood fairies is flying, and their whereabouts cannot be determined by footprints, I also agree with the view of His Majesty the Human Race."

The wooden staff in Shuerte's hand ripples with rich magic power, and it is obviously in a state of readiness. He echoed: "It seems that the two problems just raised by His Majesty the Human Race have been solved. This is where the disappeared wood fairies went, and the passive transmission of the distorted space will indeed happen again."

"Then where is this place?"

Chao Yan nodded his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It is certain that this is definitely not a barrier area."

After Lei Xiao's permission, Jiang Xi spoke first: "The degree of space distortion here is exactly the same as before, and it has reached a level beyond human power. If this happened in the barrier area, it would have collapsed completely."

"This doesn't seem to be the Fenglin Secret Realm, and it doesn't even belong to the territory of the Fenglin Secret Realm Wood Fairies."

Shuerte looked at the emblems on the robes of the corpses of the Wood Fairy soldiers and affirmed: "This is completely different from the emblem of the Fenglin Secret Realm Wood Fairies."

"No wonder these soldiers have been dead for a long time, and the space distortion happened not long ago, and the time doesn't match. So, these dead Wood Fairies don't belong to the Fenglin Secret Realm. ? "

The old man stroked his gray beard and said thoughtfully: "But as far as I know, except for the secret land of Fenglin, there seems to be no information about the appearance of wood fairies in other areas of the outer domain."

"That's right, this is exactly what I'm wondering about."

Shuerte's tree vine eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, and his old face was full of confusion: "Where did these wood fairies that don't belong to the secret land of Fenglin come from? And just like what the human girl just wondered, where were we teleported to?"

As Shuerte was talking, everyone looked around. There was thick smoke everywhere, and the scene in the distance could not be seen clearly. What was even more nerve-wracking was that there seemed to be a faint shout of killing in the distance.

"I think I know where this is."

After a while, Lei Xiao's solemn voice sounded, and he answered in a shocking way: "I'm afraid this is not the land we are familiar with. To be more precise, this is a strange area that is completely different from us, that is, another plate that was originally out of reach. "
