The next day, the first thing Xia Duo did when he woke up was to run to the river and look towards the other side.
Sure enough, the piece of wood still exists, so now it depends on the situation of the treasure place!
After arranging the tasks for everyone in the camp and setting up a magic alarm near the camp, Sha Duo went into the forest with a shield and an adamantine sword.
It was still the straight line from the camp to the treasure. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xia Duo felt that there were suddenly more concepts of "flow" and "moisture" on this "road".
"There must be changes over there!"
Thinking like this, Xia Duo quickened his pace again, and in a moment he arrived at the location where he had logged the wood yesterday.
I saw a big tree with two people hugging it falling in the forest, even crushing some small trees nearby. Xia Duo rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"This is no different from yesterday!"
There was indeed no change. The tree that was chopped down still fell on the same spot, and the sword marks on it were clearly visible. Even the branches that he cut off yesterday did not change at all.
Except the leaves look a little wilted.
There was no restoration to the original state as expected, and there was no abnormal phenomenon. It was just ordinary. A tree was cut down and there was no change.
But there is no change. There is already a change here in Xia Duo.
"These trees are real trees, not illusions!" After walking around for a while, Xia Duo inspected them carefully with his magic vision, hoping to deduce the secret of this tree from the changes in the surrounding magic network environment.
However, there are no changes to the magic network nearby, and it seems to be just the most ordinary logging site.
But Xia Duo knew that the chopped tree could indeed be restored before, and he didn't know whether it was because it suffered too much damage or because a branch was taken away that it could not be restored.
After walking around twice and still finding nothing, Xia Duo walked towards the roots of the tree, preparing to dig up the roots to see if there was anything hidden underground.
At this time, Old Neil's secret treasure was no longer in his imagination. He found that this area itself was very interesting.
Xia Duo weighed the adamantine sword in his hand and walked towards the root of the tree, while muttering: "I'm sorry for you again today."
Of course the adamantine sword won't respond to him, but the weird environment here doesn't necessarily mean that.
Just when Xia Duo was less than two meters away from the root of the tree and had already stepped on the exposed part that spread out, he suddenly felt the surrounding space change and his eyes blurred.
Although it was only for a moment, when Xia Duo saw the surrounding scene clearly again, everything around him changed.
At this moment, he seemed to be in a ruins that had been abandoned for a long time. There were dead branches and leaves everywhere, broken walls and ruins, and there was a smell of decay and decay in the air.
Almost subconsciously, Xia Duo pulled the magic net to isolate the smell, but what made him almost panic was that the magic net here was not under his control.
The magic network environment here is completely different from the outside world. It is as calm as in the magic laboratory, but it also reveals a dead and mechanical atmosphere.
You can obviously see it and touch it, but you just can't control it!
Once a mage leaves the magic network, he is just a slightly smarter ordinary person, but loses the magical power he has always been proud of. This psychological gap can even make the mage perform worse than ordinary people.
Xia Duo was not that unbearable, but he subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand. At this moment, perhaps only this fine gold sword, which he had tortured for so long, could bring him some sense of security.
There is no time to regret and reflect on my recklessness. The most important thing at the moment is to get out of here alive!
He was an ordinary person, and it had only been a year since he gained magical power. Xia Duo quickly adjusted his mentality. He first checked the items he carried with him.
Common items are probably - two swords (your own sword as a spare), a shield, a rope around your waist, spell notes, and a pen.
As for the magic items, I didn't notice just now that the concentration ring has turned into a dead object. Although it still seems to have magical aura, it has no effect at all.
Of course, even if it is useful, it doesn't make much sense now, because the concentration ring only passively enhances the user's concentration and has no active ability.
As for the magic scrolls, Xia Duo looked at the magic scrolls that were experiencing the phenomenon of spiritual light dissipation. Not to mention how distressed they were, fortunately they were just some homemade low-level scrolls.
If you buy high-end goods, it will be a waste!
The magic scroll itself has a shelf life, but in a normal magic network environment, the so-called shelf life is almost negligible, but here, the magic power on the scroll seems to be "evaporating" at an accelerated rate.
Xia Duo activated a [Magic Alert] scroll. As he expected, activating it would quickly invalidate the scroll. Naturally, the so-called alert effect would be gone.
Magic cannot be relied on, but he still has bloodline abilities. Although his spellcasting ability is silent due to the unresponsiveness of the magic network, his own strength and constitution cannot be taken away.
Holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, Sha Duo began to carefully explore this ruined land.
The ground was a thick mud carpet mixed with rotten leaves and dust. It was soft when you stepped on it, and there was a slight hissing sound with every step you took.
The original shape of the surrounding buildings has long been unrecognizable, but combined with the few remaining ruins and the location of a large number of decayed trees around it, Xia Duo roughly speculated that this is an elf ruins.
After all, except for elves, there are probably very few races that plant trees near buildings, and some building ruins are even piled together with tree debris.
It was inevitable that Xia Duo would not think of the elves' tree buildings.
As they walked, the overall appearance of this ruins gradually appeared in Xia Duo's mind. The area of this ruins was not large, about the size of a football field.
Of course, this only refers to the area of ruins with buildings.
The location where he first appeared was beside a collapsed and decaying stone wall.
Surrounding the ruins of the building was a circle of decaying woods, some of which had collapsed, while others were still standing. Through the gaps in the woods, Xia Duo saw that there seemed to be green in the outer periphery!
"plant?!"
Xia Duo was refreshed. What he feared most was to be trapped in an unchanging ruins. Changes were better than no changes.
I chose a direction closer to the edge, passed through the ruins of buildings and tree remains, and what I saw were actually plants, living plants!
The large trees growing vigorously, together with the turf and stones on the ground, all made Xia Duo feel as if the ruins just now were a dream, and he was still in the Green Pearl Forest.
But when he turned around, not far away, there were trees that had rotted and collapsed, most of which were only half-length dead trees. And further away, the suspected elf ruins clearly reminded him——
This is not a dream!
There seems to be a clear dividing line between life and decay, and if you cross the dividing line, can you leave here?
Xia Duo was not sure, but searching from architectural ruins still had to face the unknown, so now he could only take a gamble.
