Chapter 243 Pollution

The elf elder left the temple quickly, and the door was closed again, without noticing Su Lun on the other side.

Su Lun still hid behind the pillar and didn't dare to move around. He was relieved until there was no movement around for a while. If the elf elder didn't leave, he would be exposed.

"What's the matter with the statue?"

Su Lun looked at the tall elf statue. According to the information he had, all creatures in this world would become unconscious souls and enter the shadow world after death, and there should be no consciousness remaining in reality.

Could it be some kind of blood ability?

Su Lun thought in his heart and didn't stay too long, and left the temple immediately.

There are all kinds of blood abilities in the world, and perhaps there is a blood ability that allows the soul to remain in reality.

However, one thing is certain, the tall elf statue should not be able to actively observe the situation outside, otherwise he would be discovered when entering the temple.

Su Lun took advantage of the fact that it was not completely bright and left the gathering place of the high elves. As long as he left the forest and reached the outside of the elves' territory, he would not have to worry about being exposed.

He passed the tree men who were about to wake up and came out of the forest.

"It's too dangerous inside the Elf Temple. It's not easy to find information from ancient times."

Su Lun thought to himself that it might take a long time to get the information from ancient times because he was sneaking in to see it. It would be much easier if he entered the Elf Temple openly.

He thought about it. If he continued to sneak into the Elf Temple, it would be dangerous and difficult to get the things he was playing with. He might as well think of other ways. He didn't want to waste time on something that had little hope.

He once turned into a frost giant and mixed into the tribe of frost giants, but it was not that easy to mix into the tribe of high elves.

High elves are smarter and more alert than giants. Let's not talk about whether they can get the blood of the elves. Even if they can get the blood of the elves, they are likely to be found to be pretending.

He also couldn't find a lone high elf to extract the blood. The sudden loss of a tribe member could easily arouse the suspicion of these high elves.

Su Lun thought for a long time. Pretending to be a high elf can only be used as a backup. It might be easier to find a way to gain the trust of the high elves.

Because this is an uninhabited place, Su Lun built a temporary residence with the surrounding trees, and went to investigate the situation of the Elf Temple and the surrounding area every day.

Although the Elf Temple is likely to have the ancient information he wants, he will not put all his eggs in one basket.

This is the South Continent, and both the living environment and species are different from those on the East Continent.

The East Continent is mainly dominated by humans, and there are few intelligent races other than humans. The South Continent is a new area. The world map in Su Lun's hand only depicts the outline of the South Continent and the more famous races gathering places, without more detailed records.

In other words, there may be other races with a long history besides the high elves, and he may be able to get the information he wants from these races.

...

A few days later, on the coast of the South Continent.

Su Lun stood beside the coast, and in front of him was the black sea water, which became more and more turbid due to pollution.

He did not find any races other than the elves in the past few days, but he found the source of marine pollution.

A dark river, which is constantly flowing black water into the sea, is the cause of the pollution of the ocean.

These pollutions are related to the shadow world, but he is not clear about the specific situation.

Su Lun walked along the river. There are almost no creatures in the river. Even if there are, they are struggling to survive. Normal creatures cannot survive in such polluted water.

These pollutions can affect creatures. If the creatures in the water have certain bloodlines, these bloodlines will be activated.

The strange snake he encountered when he first came to the southern continent should be a creature caused by pollution.

Su Lun kept moving forward. The source of these polluted rivers was also in a forest, but it was not in the same direction as the forest where the elves were.

Not long after, Su Lun came to the depths of the forest, an area full of huge stones.

A river passed through the middle of the boulders, and the source was inside a cave.

Su Lun frowned when he saw the situation in front of him, because Sina was also in front, and there were several giant eagles around him.

Because he did not take the initiative to cover up his breath, he was soon discovered by Sina.

Sina seemed to be patrolling the surroundings. She quickly found Su Lun while sitting on the back of the giant eagle and flew towards Su Lun immediately.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Sina landed in front of Su Lun and kept looking around.

Because of her job, she needed to patrol around, so she often saw Su Lun, and it was not surprising that Su Lun would appear here.

Su Lun saw that the other party was still arrogant, and said directly: "This is not your territory, why should I tell you."

He came to investigate the situation, not to waste time here.

Sina was a little angry when she heard it. It was the first time she met someone like Su Lun who didn't obey her orders.

But she was used to it. She looked at the cave in the distance and asked Su Lun: "You want to go into that cave? I advise you not to go there. The elders have stipulated that all elves cannot approach that cave."

She saw Su Lun's goal this time, so she advised him.

She was also very curious about the cave, but with the elder's order, she did not dare to break in privately.

Su Lun heard it and asked: "Don't you know what the pollution here is like?"

The other party lives around here, it is impossible for him to know nothing about the situation here, and the pollution has affected the lives of the elves.

Sina's face became serious when she heard it. She thought for a while and said: "The elder got some ancient spells from the ancestors, which are said to increase the strength of the high elves, but unexpectedly, it happened to summon the silt of the shadow world, causing the surrounding area to be polluted."

"Since then, elves have come out every day to clean up the pollution, but the effect is not very good."

She sighed as she said that the pollution here is very harmful to the elves. The sooner it is cleared, the better, but it has not been effective now.

Su Lun frowned when he heard it. The situation here is somewhat similar to that of the dark elves in the East Continent, but he changed a method, and the result is exactly the same as those dark elves, all of whom are exposed to the shadow world.

But the high elves are not dark elves. Dark elves are related to the Shadow World, so it is very reasonable to open the Shadow World Gate to gain power, while the high elves have nothing to do with the Shadow World. In any case, the Shadow World is not good for the high elves.

Su Lun continued to ask Sina: "Who are the ancestors you are talking about?"

He guessed that the ancestors the other party was talking about should be the statues in the Elf Temple, but he didn't understand why the ancestors of the elves would let the elves contact the Shadow World.

"The ancestors are the dead elf leaders who left a thought after their death. The elf elders do things according to the leaders' thoughts." Sina explained.

She only knew this, but she didn't know the specific situation at all, and she didn't understand why things from the Shadow World would appear around here.

Su Lun nodded, and he probably understood a little.

However, this still didn't explain why the ancestor's order caused such a large area of ​​pollution.

From what Sina said, all this is related to the elf elder.

Su Lun took a look at the cave at the source of the river. He couldn't see anything from the outside. If he wanted to know the situation, he had to go inside.

He walked directly to the cave.

Seeing this, Sina immediately stopped him and said, "The elder said it's very dangerous in there, it's best not to go in."

She reminded Su Lun on the side that although she didn't like Su Lun, she didn't want Su Lun to die like this.

Su Lun shook his head and said, "I'm not an elf, I don't need to listen to the elf elders."

After he said that, he continued to walk over.

If people were forbidden to approach here, it would be much more difficult for him to go in. Fortunately, there were no elves guarding here.

Sina knew that she couldn't stop Su Lun unless she used special means.

Su Lun said as he walked, "If you want to solve the pollution here, you must go in and take a look. If you don't want to solve it, you can stay outside."

Sina was stunned. She knew that Su Lun was right. If she didn't go in to check, she would be powerless to deal with the pollution here.

She thought of various ways to solve the pollution here, but they were all temporary solutions. If the source of the pollution was not solved, the pollution would never be eliminated.

She thought that the elf elders could solve the pollution here quickly, but now the pollution is spreading and the pollution range is getting bigger, which means that the elf elders don't have a good way.

She also wanted to enter the cave to check the situation, but she didn't dare to go in casually because of the ban of the elf elders.

Su Lun had reached the entrance of the cave. The cave was very large. In addition to the polluted river, people could walk on both sides of the cave.

The inside of the cave constantly emitted a foul smell. The smell here was more serious than outside, and the pollution level was also higher. It was certain that this was the source of the pollution.

He was about to enter the cave, and Sina ran over immediately.

She said, "I'll go in with you."

After she said that, she asked the giant eagle to guard outside and followed.

Su Lun nodded slightly when he saw this. He could see that the other party was thinking about the elves.

But he still asked, "Are you going to violate the ban of the elf elders?"

In the society of high elves, the orders of the elders must be obeyed. No matter whether the orders are right or wrong, there are very few elves who can disobey the orders of the elf elders.

Hearing this, Sina glared at Su Lun fiercely, and said in a slightly threatening voice: "Few people come here, and the elf elders come here only once in a long time. You'd better not tell anyone about me."

As long as no one tells anyone, no one will know whether Sina has entered the cave.

Su Lun nodded, and he and Sina walked towards the depths of the cave.

Because it is a cave, many places may be very dangerous, and you must avoid them when you encounter danger.

It was a little dark in the cave. Su Lun lit a torch and slowly walked towards the depths of the cave.

This cave is a bit like a karst cave. The deeper you go, the deeper it gets, and it looks a bit weird.

Sina followed closely behind, and she suddenly regretted following because it was very dark and weird here. In the end, she could only follow Su Lun closely and check the surrounding situation with the light from Su Lun's torch.

The further she went, the more scared she was, because there was a sound of dripping water from time to time around her, and the echo was particularly loud, and small movements would be magnified to the extreme.

She was not a timid person, but she could not help being nervous and frightened in this unfamiliar situation.

Su Lun looked at Sina behind him and was a little speechless. Now Sina was completely different from before, with completely different personalities and no longer the arrogant momentum before.

If a monster came out now, Sina would definitely be scared to death.

Su Lun was not as scared as Sina, but he was still on guard, and his hands were full of cold air. As long as an opponent rushed out, he could immediately defend himself.

Not long after, Su Lun slowly reached the depths of the cave, an underground cave full of lake water, and they had reached the end of the cave.

At this time, the candles around were suddenly lit, and the candlelight illuminated the entire cave, including the road where Su Lun came in.

"What's going on now? Why are there so many candles on the surrounding walls?"

Sina was very surprised to see this. The sudden light allowed her to see the gold around her, but she also found something irreversible.

She remembered that the elf elder only came here occasionally, and the elf elder should not waste energy on arranging the candles around.

Su Lun also felt a little strange. He didn't say anything, just stood there waiting, but he found that there was no one around, and the only ones alive were the two of them.

The layout around here means that people often come here. If they only come once in a while, with the strength of the elf elder, there should be no need for lights, but this is obviously not the case here.

Now the whole cave is illuminated very brightly, and Su Lun also began to look for useful things in this cave.

This is a lake, and also a source of pollution.

There is not water in the lake, but black objects like silt.

Except for the lake, there is nothing around, and it seems that there is no special place.

Su Lun and Sina frowned and investigated. The situation here is not what they imagined.

Su Lun had previously guessed that the cause of the pollution was the opening of the shadow world channel, so the silt of the shadow world appeared in reality and polluted the water source.

If it is as he thought, there should be only silt from the shadow world in this lake, as long as the silt from the shadow world is removed, but now it is found that the silt from the shadow world is only one of the problems.

If it really doesn't work, we can just block the lake to prevent the pollution from spreading outside. This is a very simple thing, and the elf elders who are in charge of this place can't be unaware of it.

Su Lun suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. The elf elders might have some secrets.
