Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao took steps and immediately walked towards Fanny's position, which was located on the poop at the stern of the ship, where the terrain was higher.
When he got closer, what caught Lei Xiao's eyes was an abandoned field.
I saw that the entire field was on a flat giant ship. The giant ship was much shorter than this one, and you could only get a clear view from a high place.
"Your Majesty the human race, this is simply like a huge flowerpot floating on the sea."
Fanny flapped her wings and looked at Lei Xiao with doubts on her face: "Why would someone move these onto the ship? It's simply unbelievable."
"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 a city of ten thousand ships."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the powerful men around him all nodded in agreement.
His Majesty the Human Race is right. Whether it is judging from the wasteland or other clues, there were indeed a lot of traces of life here, just like a huge residential area.
But judging from the layer of dust covering the deck, I'm afraid it happened 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 confused look on her face.
"It's still unknown, but what is certain is that this place is indeed extremely vast and can probably accommodate a large number of residents."
Lei Xiao looked far away, and in the endless city of thousands of ships, he could vaguely see pieces of wasteland on ships similar to the ones here, and there were even many dead trees standing among them.
"Your Majesty, the passage into the hull is here!"
Not far from the poop, Bruno waved to Lei Xiao and shouted respectfully. Among the figures of strong men, his tall and burly body with a pair of horns was extremely conspicuous.
"Let's go there."
Lei Xiao nodded to Fanny and others, and took his own steps again.
Arriving at the location where Bruno and others were, Lei Xiao noticed that there was a stairway extending down to the depths of the ship, with the light of a magic light ball shining in it. Judging from the fresh footprints, it was obvious that there were
Our strong men are exploring the way.
"Your Majesty, we have investigated carefully. Although there are many entrances here, only this one leads to the depths of the ship. The others are closed spaces, just like small residential buildings."
Bruno stroked his chest and saluted, and reported to Lei Xiao: "His Excellency, the leader of the Wood Elf Clan is leading his strong men to continue exploring inside."
"I understand, 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 other strong men on our side into the passage.
After passing 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 wider than I imagined, like an underground square, with almost no end as far as the eye can see. It is obviously far beyond what a cabin can accommodate.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, we have just conducted a preliminary investigation. This area is connected to at least twenty giant cabins. Every connection is tightly connected and has undergone extremely strict waterproofing. It is really a surprisingly large project.
Woolen cloth."
Kris flew in front of Lei Xiao and said with a look of wonder on her face: "As for the function of this area, according to my speculation, it should be a place of sacrifice."
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 there. It is a tall and tall centaur warrior, holding a long bow 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 and looks gray.
"Is the owner here actually a centaur?"
A look of deep thought appeared on Shuert's old wood-carved face, and he immediately asked in confusion: "It stands to reason that 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 extremely strange. From the information I have learned, centaurs are not a creature willing to float on the sea. They naturally like to gallop in the vast world. The limited space on the ship is undoubtedly a problem for them.
A great bondage.”
There was also a trace of confusion on Broy's face, and he frowned and said: "It's as if the winged humans took the initiative to get into the birdcage."
After Broi finished speaking, the eyes of the other strong men were also full of doubts, looking extremely confused.
"Let's keep looking. Maybe there are some secrets here that we haven't found yet."
Lei Xiao waved his hands to everyone and ordered.
It didn't take long for Xiaojing's surprised voice to come quickly: "Lord, please come and take a look!"
Arriving at Xiaojing's location, Lei Xiao noticed that it was directly 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 opponent'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 distinct elves, dwarves, and even fairy towns. There was peace everywhere, but he did not see the ocean.
"It seems that in the beginning, this group of centaurs was still living 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 continue looking 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 no choice but 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 it is located, because everything is normal on the land where it is located, and this situation 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 was thinking 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 sea.
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 together.
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, Broy'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."
A rare look of surprise appeared 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 boundary areas on two different plates together? 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 inhabited ruins
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 sculptures obviously does not reveal this point.
"Maybe 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 turned into white bones came into everyone's eyes.
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 Chris and Fanny, the strong flower fairies, 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 skeletons 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.
On the benches in the park, there were also many corpses sitting side by side, looking like they were enjoying their last moments.
Just when 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, with a horrified look on its face and rivers of blood. 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!
