Chapter 1397 Reasons and Surprises

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao took a step and immediately walked towards where Fanny was. The latter was on the stern of the ship, where the terrain was higher.

When he got closer, what caught Lei Xiao's eyes was actually an abandoned field.

The entire field was located on a flat giant ship, which was much shorter than here, and only by standing on a high place could you have a panoramic view.

"Your Majesty, this is just like a huge flower pot floating on the sea."

Fanny flapped her wings and said to Lei Xiao with a puzzled look on her face: "Why would someone move these to the ship? It's incredible."

"It seems that this area composed of countless ships is more like a city. Since there are fields, there will naturally be residents."

Lei Xiao stared at the dry and cracked wasteland, nodded thoughtfully and said: "Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe this place as the city of ten thousand ships."

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, the powerful people around also nodded in agreement.

The human Majesty is right. Whether from the wasteland or some other clues, there were indeed a lot of traces of life here, like a huge residential area.

However, judging from the layer of dust on the deck, it was probably hundreds of years ago or even thousands of years ago.

"But Lord, why would someone build such a weird place to live in the barrier area?"

Xiao Jing tilted her head and said with a puzzled look.

"It is still unknown, but it is certain that this place is indeed very vast and can accommodate a large number of residents."

Lei Xiao looked far away. In the endless city of ten thousand ships, he could vaguely see pieces of wasteland on the ship that were the same as here, and even many dead trees stood in them.

"Your Majesty, the passage to enter the hull is here!"

Not far from the stern, Bruno waved to Lei Xiao and shouted respectfully. Among the figures of the strong men, his tall and burly body with a pair of horns was extremely conspicuous.

"Let's go."

Lei Xiao nodded to Fanny and the others, and took another step.

When he arrived at the location where Bruno and the others were, Lei Xiao noticed that there was a staircase that extended all the way down to the depths of the hull, and the magic light ball flashed in it. From the fresh footprints, it was obvious that our strong men were exploring the way in it.

"Your Majesty, we have carefully investigated. Although there are many entrances here, only this one leads to the depths of the hull. The others are closed spaces, like small houses."

Bruno saluted with his chest and reported to Lei Xiao: "The Wood Fairy Chief is leading his strong men to continue exploring inside."

"I see, then let's go down too."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and after deploying a team of strong men to guard the entrance of the passage, he led the other strong men of our side into the passage.

After passing through a relatively narrow and long staircase area, the group's eyes suddenly opened up.

After being illuminated by the magic light ball, when Lei Xiao saw the surrounding scene clearly, he immediately opened his eyes wide.

This place is more spacious than he imagined, like an underground square, with no end in sight, and obviously far beyond the scope of what a cabin can accommodate.

"Your Majesty, we have just conducted a preliminary investigation. This area is connected to at least 20 giant cabins, and each connection is tightly sealed and has undergone extremely strict waterproofing. It is really an amazing project."

Chris flew in front of Lei Xiao and said with a look of amazement: "As for the function of this area, according to my speculation, it should be a sacrificial site."

Lei Xiao walked forward while listening to Chris's words.

Just as the other party said, the central area here is empty, with only a huge statue standing. It is a tall and burly centaur warrior, holding a longbow in his hand and shooting towards the sky.

In front of the centaur sculpture, there is a mottled altar, which is covered with a layer of dust everywhere and looks gray.

"Is the owner here actually a centaur?"

Schuert's old face, which looked like a wood carving, was filled with a trace of hesitation, and then he asked in doubt: "But it stands to reason that the centaurs have lived in forests and plains far away from the ocean for generations, how could they build such a city of ten thousand ships?"

"It is indeed very strange. From the information I have learned, the centaurs are not creatures willing to drift on the sea. They are born to like to gallop in the vast world. The limited space on the ship is undoubtedly a great constraint for them."

Broy's face also showed a trace of confusion, and he frowned and said: "It's just like the winged people took the initiative to get into the birdcage."

After Broy finished speaking, the eyes of other strong men were also full of doubts, looking extremely confused.

"Let's continue to look, maybe there are some secrets here that we haven't found."

Lei Xiao waved his hand at everyone and ordered.

It didn't take long for Xiao Jing's surprised voice to come over: "Lord, please come and see!"

When Lei Xiao arrived at Xiao Jing's location, he noticed that this place was right behind the Centaur statue and at the end of the square.

On the thick wall composed of the inner wall of the cabin, lifelike wall sculptures are engraved, which appear mysterious and profound under the reflection of the magic light ball.

"Lord, this seems to depict a story!"

As if she had discovered some secret, Xiaojing pointed to one of the wall carvings with excitement and said, "And here is the beginning of the story!"

Looking in the direction of the other person's finger, Lei Xiao further noticed.

This is a scene depicting the life of centaurs. In the vast plains and forests, centaurs are everywhere either playing or hunting.

Around the plains and forests, other races appeared. Lei Xiao saw towns with distinctive elves, dwarves, and even elves. There was peace everywhere, but he did not see the ocean.

"It seems that in the beginning, this group of centaurs did still live where they were supposed to be."

Broy raised his head, looked at the mural and said, "What was the reason that made them choose to board the ship?"

"Let's look down."

Lei Xiao's eyes moved and looked at the second wall sculpture next to him.

On the second wall sculpture, in the lower part of the plain that was originally a flat river, a body of water that had not existed before actually appeared, extending to the end of the wall sculpture.

Although the width of the wall sculpture is limited and cannot fully express the depth of the water, judging from the albatross flying above the water, it obviously represents the ocean.

Due to the emergence of sea water, the elves who were there before had to migrate to the high plains, and the centaurs also accepted them.

"The sea water actually appeared on the plain?"

When Broy saw this, his eyes widened involuntarily.

Beside him, Lei Xiao looked like he was contemplating.

Things couldn't be more obvious. What this depicts is that the sea level is rising, turning the original land into an ocean.

And what is certain is that this centaur does not come from the plate where he is, because everything is normal on the land where he is, and this has not happened before.

In addition, it can also be confirmed that the time when all this happened was obviously after the blank era.

Because in the several pictures before the first picture, it can be seen that the centaurs woke up from endless ruins and collapsed statues, with confused expressions on their faces, which obviously depicts that they are survivors of the blank era. , and forgot everything.

Lei Xiao thought this while looking towards the wall sculpture behind him.

Just as I thought, in the next few scenes, as things intensified, the scope of activities of other forces such as centaurs and goblins became smaller and smaller.

As the food on land was greatly reduced, they had no choice but to build boats and began to make a living by fishing.

Later, they could only live in the mountains, traveling by boat, surrounded by the vast ocean.

Maybe a hundred years passed, maybe a thousand years passed, and finally one day, the last land ceased to exist, so a large number of ships from various forces, including the centaurs, began to gather with each other.

In order to survive, all forces worked together and even connected each other's ships. Gradually, the shocking scene that our group of people saw now was formed.

In order to resist the increasingly crazy and powerful sea monsters, they worked together to create this maritime barrier area and moved everything here to survive more stably.

"So this is the truth behind the centaur appearing here."

After reading the content on the mural, Broi's face was full of surprise and he said: "So, it is not the Centaur himself who created this city of thousands of ships, but all the forces on this land?"

"Indeed, it seems that this area does not come from the land where we are."

There was also a rare surprise on Shuert's old face, and he nodded.

"No wonder this place is like a land. It turns out that so many forces have gathered together."

Xiaojing blinked her long eyelashes and said in surprise: "What the lord said about gathering more strength can help us overcome the difficulties in the future is indeed true!"

"Since they are not from us, does that mean that the invisible hand is forcibly connecting the two barrier areas on different plates? This is simply suffocating."

Jiang Li's starry eyes were filled with shock as she murmured to herself.

Listening to the different voices of everyone, Lei Xiao still looked like he was contemplating.

It is not difficult to see from the contents of this series of murals that it obviously took hundreds of years, even thousands of years, for the people on this land to finally come here, but from the current desolate and ruined Judging from the scene, despite all their efforts, they were eventually lost in the dust of history.

In addition, there is another point that makes me extremely concerned, and that is the root cause of rising sea levels. The content on the wall sculpture obviously does not reveal this.

"Perhaps even they themselves don't know the reason."

Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts, nodded to the people around him and said: "Now that we have figured out the history of this city of thousands of ships, it is time for us to start exploring again. There must be the key to leaving here ahead. "

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the powerful men around him nodded in agreement and focused their attention on the surrounding scene again.

It didn't take long for our group to leave the square through a ship corridor and begin to move deeper into the City of Ten Thousand Ships.

Just now we came to a place similar to a residential area, and the corpses that had already turned into bones came into view.

It is not difficult to see from the structure of the skeletons that most of them are centaurs, and there are also some elves who are obviously much smaller in stature.

I saw most of these corpses gathered together in twos and threes, or slumped beside the bulkhead, or slumped under the stairs. Pairs of empty eye sockets were dark, and most of the mandibles were slightly open, as if they were describing words without words. It's about a past that no one knows about.

Seeing this scene, especially the strong wood and flower fairies such as Chris and Fanny, they all frowned slightly.

Although these were not their tribesmen, seeing the same kind of skeletons still made them feel awe-inspiring.

"Lord, according to the "lost ruins effect", it can be proved that they did not come from before the blank era. "

Jiang Lei nodded to Lei Xiao and said thoughtfully: "Otherwise there would never be any bones here."

"Indeed, let's move on."

Lei Xiao walked around the corpse of a centaur and took a deep breath slowly.

There is a rotten and salty smell everywhere, which makes your stomach churning.

After passing through several similar areas in succession, the group came to an extremely vast area.

This is a park, but the fountain in the center has long since dried up, and the surrounding flower beds are also barren.

There were also many corpses sitting side by side on the park benches, looking like they were enjoying their last moments.

Just as Lei Xiao's eyes moved and glanced around, an extremely discordant shadow suddenly came into view.

Looking at it carefully, it was also a corpse, but it was not Sen Bai's skeleton. He had obviously died not long ago!

"Lord, what is that?!"

The surrounding subordinates soon discovered the clues, and they all looked surprised.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and the shining Rolandel emerged.

When he got closer, Lei Xiao's eyes widened even more, and the surprise on his face became even worse.

It was a corpse that had been chopped off at the waist. It looked horrified and was bleeding like a river. The most important thing was that Lei Xiao could clearly feel that the other person was not an aborigine of this other world, but an alien lord!
