Chapter 213 The Lost Tribe

As an [outsider], Belxi's feeling after coming to Luo Anaconda Forest, his evaluation of Luo Anaconda Forest is...

【forest】

Hahaha, that's right...it's the forest.

Although it is strange to describe a forest with a non-adjective like "forest", this is what Belsi really thinks.

This is a super super super super big forest.

Except for plants and some animal friends he was familiar with and unfamiliar with, and except for fungi, he had never seen any other living things.

In other words...no trace of intelligent life.

Although Tristolan had been leading the way, Belsi felt a little guilty looking at the identical plants and roads around her.

[Tristolan...do you remember the road? 】

Semu Nananoshima seemed to have some similar thoughts to Belxi. She looked left and right and felt that the environment was not recognizable at all.

Could it be that Tristolan was leading the way?

"Well, even though I've been away for a while, the plant types around me haven't changed much...if I remember correctly."

Tristolan, who said this, walked lightly on the grass in the forest... her feet stepped on the grass, but did not break it.

No matter how slender and light Tristolan's body as an elf is, she is not so light that she seems to be able to perform Qing Kung Fu.

What's more, Tristolan has abdominal muscles. Compared to the [slender] mage girl, her body looks healthier.

This special feature of not harming plants comes from the [Extreme Natural Covenant] of the wood elves, which prevents them from breaking the covenant for reasons such as stepping on grass.

"If you follow this road for a while, you will reach my tribe."

Tristolan said this, pointing to the jungle in front of her that looked no different from other surrounding forests.

"..."

Shu Bei Xi bluntly said that he did not see anything that could be called a [road], let alone a [road] or something like that.

However, Nananashima Semu found some clues. She looked at the unclear earth color on the grass between the trees.

[The roads you are talking about are these beast roads? 】

Nanajima Semu asked, and then received a nod from Tristolan as an affirmative answer.

The beast's path... as the name suggests, is the path that wild beasts take.

Whether it is a mouse, a rabbit, or a relatively large creature, they usually choose a fixed route to walk during activities.

Either in the gaps between specific trees, or near the junction between boulders and the earth, over time, animal paths will be formed.

That is, some relatively sparse grassland.

…

Seemingly seeing Bel Xi's confusion, Da Zhuang helped explain: "This is the road to Luoan Anaconda Forest..."

"Only in the tribe, it will be paved with stone slabs or stones. Except in the tribe, even if the stone road is paved in the wild, it will soon be destroyed by wild beasts."

Regarding Da Zhuang's words, Tristolan nodded to show that he was right.

"Mr. Da Zhuang knows the Anaconda Forest very well... Well, I really miss the feeling of stepping on the pebbles with bare feet."

Tristolan said, she looked very emotional, more or less with a hint of nostalgia... right?

When Bel Xi was thinking this, Tristolan suddenly stopped and looked around with a solemn look on her face.

"Something's wrong."

In response to her words, the three of them immediately went on alert.

Something's wrong? ! Are there enemies?

With such judgment, Belsi immediately accumulated dragon breath, and purple-black flames leaked out from his mouth bit by bit, then burned the grass under his feet.

Although it is said to set fire to the mountain, sit in jail and wear it out.

But I can no longer care so much at this moment...

But something is definitely wrong... The forest seems a little too quiet. Is there another killer coming to kill me?

Just like the previous Ex-Machines?

With this thought in mind, Belsi and Semu Nanashima also began to search the forest around the enemy. Da Zhuang also closed his eyes and began to perceive his own.

If Tristolan's eyes weren't broken, she could probably see... circles of ripples similar to but different from magic power,

The ripples spread with Da Zhuang as the center, looking for possible enemies, but still found nothing.

Da Zhuang raised his head with some hesitation. His [Wave] failed for the first time. The opponent's concealment level was unexpectedly good.

Is it level six? Seventh level?

I don't know...but how did Tristolan feel it? Is it out of familiarity with the Anaconda Forest environment? correct……

"Birds... and insects."

Da Zhuang said softly, and he seemed to have realized something... Logically speaking, the forest should be full of the sounds of all kinds of animals.

But it didn't.

Not only were there none, the other wild animals seen along the way all looked like they were in a hurry, as if they were predators.

So...where is the enemy?

None of the three were sure of this. They quickly tightened their formation and looked at Tristolan, waiting for her answer.

"Huh? What are the birds and insects chirping?"

However, Tristolan asked this easily.

"..."

"???"

【? ? ? 】

"Isn't there an enemy?"

Belch asked, and he began to wonder if he had misunderstood. He gestured and asked, "What did you say [something was wrong] just now?"

Regarding Belsi's question, Tristolan was a little confused: "What enemy? I don't feel an enemy?"

【ah? What's wrong with that? 】

"Oh, I said something was wrong...because I seemed to be going the wrong way."

Tristolan looked a little ashamed when she said this. She covered her face in embarrassment: "Maybe it's because of her eyesight."

At first it looked like it was the way back to the tribe, but after walking halfway, I realized something didn't seem right... It seemed like I was going the wrong way.

After all, if you walked here, you should be able to see the tribe's sentry tower, but now there is nothing.

Tristolan looked hesitant, looking at the sun in the sky to judge the direction: "In the east... around the Sancha Mountain... it feels right."

Although I don’t know where Tristolan’s tribe is, it seems that the crisis has been resolved, which is really gratifying.

Fortunately it was a false alarm.

But...why can't I hear the chirping of birds and insects?

Amidst the doubts of the three of them, Belsi noticed a trembling squirrel lying on the branch of a coniferous plant.

A few squirrels looked very pitiful.

What are they afraid of?

Bel Xi thought this, and then quickly got the answer from their eyes and emotions... Damn it! It's me!

"Wait, are you afraid of me? That's why the bugs and birds stopped chirping?"

Belxi was a little ashamed. Although he was a young dragon, although the dragon's power was of no use to normal people, it could still scare demon insects and small animals...

【Longwei! 】

"It's true, I don't know when I got the extra dragon power skill... Well, I actually got it a long time ago, and it was used to scare the demonic insects."

"As my age and level increase, does the power and range of Longwei also increase? I'll try to see if I can control it myself."

Bel Xi sighed with emotion, closing his eyes and trying hard to take back his dragon power: "Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

[What a stinky Long Wei! 】

Although Semu Nananoshima complained, and although Belxi's roar of effort was indeed strange, it... actually worked!

The intimidating power of the giant dragon gradually disappeared in the forest.

Instead, there was a tentative chirping... I don't know what kind of bird it was, but it sounded very noisy.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!"

【……】

"That's the cry of the polyglot."

Da Zhuang said this, and he seemed to have a certain understanding of the animals near Luo Anan Forest: "I also find it very noisy."

"..."

Bel Xi was also silent for a moment, and then silently released Long Wei, and the bird's voice immediately disappeared.

Well, if you put it that way...

"Hey ah!"

Bel Xi drank softly and took back the dragon's power.

"twitter!"

Longwei is released!

"..."

Longwei takes back!

"Jiji~"

Longwei is released!

"..."

After several cycles, Belsi learned to quickly switch between the dragon power state and the normal state, and the speed gradually became faster.

The simplest example is that the birds had no time to [chirp], but just [just because], they immediately became silent.

The chirping sound is stuck in their throats, like a pinched Shi(t) Lime.

After a period of time, even though Bel Xi had taken back the power of the dragon, the birds were too lazy to crow... I was really speechless.

Multi-tongued Oriole: Lower head dragon, steamed mullet.

[Brother, why are you torturing the bird... Hahaha, I was laughing so hard. 】

"Hahahaha, so funny."

In the midst of the nonsense between Belsi and Semu Nananoshima, Tristolan, whose eyesight was not working well, finally confirmed something.

"found it."

Tristolan, who was some distance away from the beast's path, said this. She looked at the remains of a pair of logs and sticks with a solemn expression.

"I don't seem to have gone the wrong way..."

After saying this, Tristolan reached out and touched the broken wood in front of her, looking at the obvious burnt black color on it.

"This is the remains of the tribe's outpost... If we are here, it proves that we are very close to the tribe."

Tristolan looked around in confusion, her heart full of confusion: "If that's the case, then there should be many tribesmen in action nearby."

But I haven't seen any intelligent creatures along the way. It can even be said that I looked forward and let my eyes pass through the gaps between trees...

There are no signs of intelligent life.

"Is the whole family moving?"

Belsi asked, and Tristolan shook her head to express her uncertainty: "I'm not sure."

Moreover, the possibility of the whole family relocating is really low... After her family was destroyed, the two sisters defected to a large wood elf tribe.

If the entire family is to relocate, the amount of manpower and material resources that will be consumed is a terrifying figure.

To be honest, Tristolan had a bad feeling.

"Let's go and take a look in the direction of my tribe first. Maybe we can find some clues... I hope everyone in the tribe is okay."

Tristolan said, starting to lead the way.

"..."

Belsi stared at the scorched marks on the ground...and then looked around the wooden ruins.

The surrounding trees had more or less burnt marks.

Moreover, he didn't know if it was Belsi's illusion, but he always felt that he could smell a familiar smell.

Well, if it was arson, why didn't it turn into a forest fire?

Thinking like this, Belsi looked at the place where the dragon's breath flowed down from his mouth... There, there were real traces of the spread of flames.

Wait, that’s not right!

Bel Xi looked over there. The power of his dragon's breath could not be so small... The flames, like gangrene attached to the bones, could not be extinguished so quickly.

With this thought in mind, Belsi looked at the place where the dragon's breath had dropped with an inquiring gaze, and then discovered something.

"Unexpectedly... the surrounding vegetation actually actively avoided my dragon's breath. The forest of Luo Anan Forest seems to be alive."

Belsi judged this, and he looked at the ruins of the watchtower behind him... In other words, the watchtower was indeed destroyed by the flames.

The familiar smell that permeates the air... is definitely the smell of sulfur.

[Big brother is coming soon, Tristolan is waiting for us. 】

Under the urging of Semu Nanashima, Belsi reacted, nodded, and followed Tristolan.

"Tristolan, I discovered something."

Belch said this. He simply stated his findings: "The destroyed sentry tower was destroyed by an [explosion], and I smelled the smell of sulfur."

[The smell of sulfur...isn't that related to hell? 】

Yes, just like Nanajima Semu said, when it comes to fire and stone flow, it feels like it is inseparable from hell.

Tristolan also pondered... Is the stone flowing yellow? In this case, is the disappearance and disappearance of the tribesmen related to the melting phenomenon?

Tristolan didn't know this.

Although the current melting phenomenon occurs most frequently and on the largest scale in the Kingdom, melting phenomena do occur more or less within the borders of other countries.

So, what does this have to do with my tribe?

Full of doubts, Tristolan had already seen the familiar outer wall of the tribe, as well as the arrow towers guarding both sides of the outer wall.

However, there was no one inside the arrow tower at this moment.

There are no people even near the tribe...

…

No, nothing but buildings...no demons, nothing molten, a slight smell of sulfur, but no obvious signs of destruction.

It seems that, except for the [residents], this tribe must have had almost no changes from before Tristolan and the other wood elves disappeared.

"What exactly is all this..."

Tristolan said to herself, and then she and Da Zhuang worked together to push open the somewhat worn but still heavy tribal door.

In the tribe, there are scattered houses, some beautiful farmland, creeks and waterwheels... everything is very familiar.

but……

"Where has everyone... gone?"

In Tristolan's soliloquy...it was naturally impossible for the deserted tribe to respond.

"..."

[Being melted away? 】

"Is it molten?"
