"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 magic staffs neatly placed in several magic tower tree houses, but there was no sign of anyone."
Nanyue 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 Fairy left in such a hurry, why didn't she take the most important equipment with her and instead take care of the captive Warcraft and the Magic Pearl Monster in the pool?"
Shuerte's old wood-carved face was full of confusion, and he frowned and said.
"Is it to get food?"
Chaoyan tilted his head and blurted out.
"It's not like that. 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, 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, apart from 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 goblins, but also the captive warcraft and the bead monster have lost their traces, and all other animals here have also 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.
Got it!"
"But this is too unbelievable, isn't it? Could it be caused by distorted 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 the matter was 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? This would lead to the fact that there are no ancient corpses in the ancient ruins.
Weird thing?"
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 indeed 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, when all races disappeared, 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 widespread disappearance of ordinary monsters or even insects."
After hearing Lei Xiao's analysis, the nervousness of the group eased slightly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"However, even though this matter is not directly related to the "Lost Ruins Effect", we still have not 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 the command of Lei Xiao, our group quickly reorganized the exploration formation and began to continue investigating in the deserted Wood Goblin Village.
Not long after, Louise's curious voice rang out again, and she asked doubtfully: "Lord, 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 biting wind of space falling 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 had been almost razed to the ground, with only charred tree roots and the remains of some houses left. Thick black smoke was rising, and a stomach-turning putrid smell was emitting 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 grip on the weapons in their hands.
Suppressing his inner surprise, Lei Xiao looked intently and noticed further.
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 frowned and said to Lei Xiao, "According to my analysis, the time to cast the spell is about half a day."
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.
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 the half-elves but slightly shorter than the 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 originally intact village suddenly destroyed in the blink of an eye?"
Chaoyan's fair face was full of confusion, and his head seemed to be smoking.
"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 Chao Yan.
Under Lei Xiao's prompting, the two of them realized 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 there is no sense of lightness that occurs during ordinary teleportation, that is 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 wood goblins mainly move by flying and cannot judge their destination based on their footprints, I also agree with His Majesty the Human Race."
The wooden staff in Shuert's hand was rippling with rich magic power, and he was obviously in a state of preparation. He echoed: "It seems that the two problems just raised by His Majesty the Human Race have been solved. This is the place where the disappeared wood goblin went.
And the passive transmission of distorted space will indeed happen again."
"Then what exactly is this place?"
Chao Yan raised his head and asked with doubts on his face.
"What is certain is that this is definitely not a barrier area."
After receiving Lei Xiao's permission, Jiang Li first spoke: "The degree of space distortion here is exactly the same as before. It has reached a level that is beyond human control. If this situation occurred in the barrier area, it would have completely collapsed.
.”
"This does not seem to be the Peak Forest Realm, nor does it even belong to the territory of the Wood Fairies in the Peak Forest Realm."
Shuert looked at the emblems on the robes of the corpses of the wood elf soldiers and affirmed: "This is completely different from the symbol of the wood elf in the secret realm of Peak Forest."
"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 up. So, don't these dead wood fairies belong to the secret realm of Peak Forest?"
The gray old man gently stroked his gray beard and said thoughtfully: "But as far as I know, except for the secret realm of Peak Forest, there seems to be no information about the presence of wood goblins in other areas of the outer domain."
"You're right, this is exactly what I'm confused about."
Shuerte's tree-vine eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, and his old face was full of puzzlement: "Where do these wood fairies that do not belong to the secret realm of the peak forest come from? And they are just like the human girl was wondering just now.
So, where exactly were we teleported to?"
While Shuert was speaking, everyone was looking around. There was thick smoke everywhere, making it difficult to see the scene in the distance. What was even more nerve-wracking was that there seemed to be faint shouts of killing in the distance.
"I think I know where this place is."
After a while, Lei Xiao's solemn voice sounded, and he replied 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, somewhere
