Arcane Lord

The next day, the first thing Xia Duo did when he woke up was to run to the river and look at the other side.

Sure enough, the piece of wood still existed, so now it depends on the situation of the treasure!

After arranging the tasks of everyone in the camp and setting up a magic alarm near the camp, Xia Duo went into the forest with a shield and a fine gold 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 actually felt that the conceptual existence of "flow" and "moisture" on this "road" suddenly increased.

"It should be a change over there!"

Thinking of this, Xia Duo quickened his pace and came to the place where he cut wood yesterday.

I saw a big tree that two people could hug fell in the forest, and even crushed some small trees nearby. Xia Duo rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"This is no different from yesterday!"

There is indeed no change. The felled tree is still lying in the same place, and the sword marks on it are clearly visible. Even the branches that he cut off yesterday have not changed at all.

Except that the leaves seem to be a little wilted.

It didn't recover as expected, nor did it show any unusual phenomena. It was just very ordinary. A tree was cut down, and there was no change.

However, no change was already a change for Xia Duo.

"These trees are real trees, not illusions!" After walking around, Xia Duo carefully checked with magic vision, trying to infer the secret of the tree from the changes in the surrounding magic network environment.

However, there was no change in the nearby magic network, and it seemed to be the most ordinary logging site.

But Xia Duo knew that the cut tree could be restored before. He didn't know whether it was because of the great damage or because a branch was taken away, which made it impossible to restore.

After walking around twice and still finding nothing, Xia Duo walked to the root of the tree, ready to dig up the root to see if there was any secret underground.

At this time, what secret treasure of Old Neil was not in his imagination, he found that this area itself was very interesting.

Xia Duo weighed the fine gold sword in his hand and walked towards the tree roots, muttering: "I'm sorry for you again today."

The fine gold sword would certainly not respond to him, but the strange environment here might not.

When Xia Duo was less than two meters away from the tree roots and had stepped on the part that spread out and was exposed, he suddenly felt the space around him change and his eyes blurred.

Although it was only a moment, when Xia Duo saw the surrounding scene again, everything around him had changed -

At this moment, he seemed to be in a ruin that had been abandoned for a long time, with dead branches and leaves, broken walls and ruins everywhere, and a rotten and withered smell in the air.

Almost subconsciously, Xia Duo wanted to pull the magic net to isolate the smell, but what almost made him die was that the magic net here was not controlled by him.

The magic net environment here is completely different from the outside world. It is as calm as in the magic laboratory, but it reveals a dead and mechanical taste.

It can be seen and touched, but it can't be controlled!

Once a wizard leaves the magic network, he is just an ordinary person who is slightly smarter. Without the magic power that he has always been proud of, this psychological gap will even make the wizard behave worse than ordinary people.

Xia Duo is not that unbearable, but he also subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand. At this moment, perhaps only this fine gold sword that he has tortured for a long time can bring him some sense of security.

There is no time to regret and reflect on his recklessness. The most important thing now is to leave here alive!

Originally an ordinary person, Xia Duo has only obtained magic power for a year. He quickly adjusted his mentality. He first checked the items he carried with him.

Ordinary items are roughly - two swords (his own sword is spare), a shield, a rope around the waist, spell notes, and a pen.

As for the magic items, I didn't notice it just now. The focus ring has become a dead object here. Although it still looks like a magical aura, it has no effect at all.

Of course, even if it is useful, it doesn't make much sense now, because the focus ring only passively blesses the user's concentration and has no active ability.

As for the magic scrolls, Xia Duo felt so distressed when he saw the magic scrolls that were dissipating. Fortunately, they were just some low-level scrolls made by himself.

If he had bought high-end goods, it would be a huge loss!

The magic scrolls themselves have a shelf life, but in a normal magic net environment, the so-called shelf life can be almost ignored, but here, the magic power on the scrolls seems to be accelerating "evaporation".

Xia Duo activated a [Magic Alert] scroll. As he expected, the activation would make the scroll quickly invalid, and the so-called alert effect would naturally be gone.

Magic cannot be relied on, but he still has bloodline ability. Although the ability to cast spells is silent because the magic net does not respond, his own strength and physique cannot be deprived.

Holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, Xia Duo began to carefully explore this ruined land.

The ground is a thick mud carpet mixed with rotten leaves and dust. It is soft to step on it, and a slight hissing sound is emitted with every step.

The surrounding buildings were no longer recognizable in their original form, but based on the few remaining broken walls and the location of a large number of rotten trees around them, Xia Duo roughly guessed that this was an elven relic.

After all, apart from the elves, there were probably very few races that would plant trees around buildings, and some of the building debris was even piled up with the tree debris.

Xia Duo couldn't help but 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 decayed 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 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 were dead trees that had decayed and collapsed, most of which were only half-length. And further away, the suspected elven ruins clearly reminded him——

This is not a dream!

There seems to be a clear dividing line between life and decay, and if you step over 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.
