Chapter 358： where time stands still

"My lord, judging from the current situation, the boundary area of ​​this winged human race should be composed of floating islands in the sky."

Looking at the small island in front of him, Ye Cang pondered for a while, then bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "And where we are now is just the tip of the iceberg in this barrier area."

"That's true." On the other side, Bai Wei was lying on the grass, brushing aside the weeds, checking carefully, sniffing with her nose, and saying, "On the ground here, there are giant footprints and long The traces of standing.

The smell is also very obvious, which is consistent with those high-level golems in the form of black stone giants just now. "

"Yes, there is still a trace of energy left in the power-supplying magic circle. No wonder those high-level golem puppets, which are summoned objects, can last for such a long time." Chaoyan on the side also squatted down to perceive it carefully, and then added road.

"So that's the case." Hearing this, Lei Xiao stared at the clouds and mist in front of him, and showed a brooding look.

With the better understanding of the world, he clearly understood.

In this world, the most common type of summoning spell is to summon this lifeless golem.

Moreover, most golems can only last for a few days at most, and they will automatically dissipate and revert to energy particles in the air.

However, there are also a small number of special golems that can exist for a long time under the condition of continuous energy supply.

For example, in the ancient elf ruins next to Shen Banxia's territory, we saw the tree guard tree man with the core of the elf inlaid.

This kind of core can make the tree guard giant itself form a set of independent energy circulation mechanism, which achieves the enduring effect.

Another example is the miracle building in Lei Xiao's territory, the guardian of the earth and the guardian of the sky created by the guardian defense agency.

According to the research of their own magic powerhouses, these high-level golem puppets made of miracle buildings have unusual stability and endurance.

As long as the energy is sufficient, it can also be active all the time and can be stored in the storage space.

And ordinary golems cannot be stored in the storage space at all.

"As for the black stone giant that appeared in the lake just now, the reason why it can exist for a long time is because there is an energy-supplying magic circle here?" Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"I fully understand..." Carol, who was dressed in armor, also showed a suddenly bright look, and muttered to herself, "So, those black stone giants who came madly just now.

In fact, it is just the guardian at the entrance of this barrier area, usually in a dormant state.

And because the magic wall at the entrance to the enchantment area has been in disrepair for a long time, it is extremely unstable.

So, this will take the opportunity to come to the outside world, right? "

"That's right, these guardians must be set up to automatically attack any non-winged human race, and after the barrier at the entrance to the barrier dissipates automatically, it is equivalent to connecting here and the outside world.

Therefore, after sensing the aura of a large number of soldiers outside, the black stone giants will naturally take the initiative to attack. "

On the other side, Chaoyan blinked her eyes, nodded to Carol, and added.

"Okay, now all the doubts have been solved." At this time, Lei Xiao took his bird's-eye view of the mountains back from outside the island, and then said, "Let's move on."

"Sir, there is another question next."

Just when everyone re-arranged the exploration formation, the crisp armor collision sounded, and the arrogant Carol bowed slightly, and said to Lei Xiao with a puzzled face: "Here is the wing. The boundary area of ​​the human race.

The distance between the empty island and the empty island seems to be very far away. Except for the magic powerhouse, how do we go to the next empty island? "

"You don't have to worry about that." With a slight smile, Lei Xiao said to Ye Cang and Chaoyan beside him, "I remember hearing from a friend who had dealt with the winged people.

Although the winged people are born with white wings and can soar in the sky, the winged people who have not undergone the rite of passage cannot do this.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the young clansmen to travel between various empty islands, the winged people seem to be better at teleporting magic, right? "

This friend of Lei Xiao is naturally Jiang Hao, the ancestor of the half-elf.

According to Jiang Hao, because of their naturally light bones and thin body, the winged people prefer to study magic more than the melee attacks of the physics department.

Therefore, the entire race is highly accomplished in magic, almost comparable to another well-known race that is good at magic, the elves.

In addition, the hero King Xi Sa, or Wang Xi, the transmigrator who built the Cold Flame Kingdom with one hand, has also been mentioned.

The teleportation magic circle at the end of the underground plaza of Luolong City came from the hands of a sixth-order powerhouse of the winged human race.

Therefore, teleportation magic is indeed a good thing for the winged people.

"Master Hui, that's exactly what it is."

On the other hand, Ye Cang bowed slightly, pointed to the edge of the island facing the sun, and responded, "When my subordinate was investigating just now, he found a teleportation formation that was dormant.

Presumably there is a passage to other empty islands. "

"My lord, Uncle Pastor is right, there is indeed the only teleportation formation on this empty island."

Chaoyan on the side, blinked her long eyelashes, and nodded, "Furthermore, this is the enchantment area, which is different from the ordinary empty island in the outside world.

Except for this island suspended in mid-air, the surrounding scenes are almost all mirror images from the outside world, and other islands are likely not in the same space.

Therefore, we just need to follow the teleportation array on the island.

After all, the winged people, like the elves, are a arrogant and rigid race. In addition, the magic technology is really superb, and they have the confidence that they cannot be discovered by other races. "

"Reactivate the teleportation array here." Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

"Yes! Your lord." Hearing this, Ye Cang bore the brunt and started walking towards the edge of the island.

When he got closer, he saw that his palm was slightly raised, and a small dark-golden light ball was condensed out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Cang flicked his fingers, and a small ball of light emitting a faint brilliance floated straight towards a clearing on the ground that was almost free of weeds.

The moment the ball of light touched the ground, it was as if the ground was lit up.

A gray hexagram magic circle that was spinning continuously emerged, and then stirred up a faint energy fluctuation.

"The magic pattern on it is quite similar to the one I've seen in the underground square before." Looking at the sudden gray magic circle on the ground, Lei Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Sir, take it easy, just in case, let the two of us check it out first." Immediately afterwards, Ye Cang bowed slightly to Lei Xiao, and was in tandem with Chao Yan, who was holding a short staff. went in.

I saw that after the two stepped into the magic circle one after another, they suddenly disappeared as if they had put on an invisibility cloak, which made the whole scene look quite miraculous.

"Is that how the teleportation array works? When I was sucked in in the underground plaza before, the scene must be very interesting, right? Especially Ariel's expression."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with some irony.

It didn't take long for Ye Cang and Chaoyan to reappear in front of everyone.

At this time, the faces of the two were full of disbelief, as if they had seen something terrifying, and they were speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao first waved his hand slightly to signal the two to calm down, and then asked, "What happened?"

"Go back to your lord, the other empty island is all... all winged people." Seeing the face of Barbie Q written all over her face, she first swallowed and then said dumbly.

"Is there still a winged human race here?" Hearing this, a puzzled expression appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

You must know that this enchantment area was accidentally discovered by everyone on the side.

It is precisely because of its long disrepair that in order to maintain a balance with the outside world, the City Lord's Mansion of Shuiyue City and the small island where it is located were directly sucked into the enchantment.

If there are still winged people here, why does this kind of self-disclosure happen?

In addition, regarding the current stunned state of the two.

Er Hanizi doesn't need to say, she is startled every day when everything is fine, showing such an expression is completely normal.

And Ye Cang has always had a calm and calm personality, and almost never had such a shocked expression.

From this, it can be seen that things are indeed very unusual.

Realizing this, Lei Xiao's expression became awe-inspiring again.

"Sir, there are indeed a large number of winged people there."

On the other side, Ye Cang took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down, and then added: "However, it's not a living winged human race!"

"Isn't it a still-living winged human race?" Hearing this, not only Lei Xiao, but also Huzhang, Bai Wei, A Ling, and Carol next to him were full of surprise.

"Sir, we have already checked and perceived it just now. There is no danger in that area at present. You should go and see for yourself."

Shaking his head helplessly, Ye Cang said again, "Let my subordinates lead the way for you."

"Okay, let's go." Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao immediately took his own steps.

Just like that, after stepping straight into the teleportation magic circle, a light gray light flickered in front of him.

When Lei Xiao's sight became clear again, he found that in front of him was the entrance of a huge sunny open-air plaza.

At first glance, this giant plaza can be described as very vast.

According to Lei Xiao's estimate, it is at least as big as a dozen standard football fields. As for the edge position, it is not as cloudy as the previous entrance island.

Instead, you can clearly see two suns, one big and one small, and the white clouds surrounding them.

Above the huge square, the ground is made of pure white marble, covered with several fountains of different sizes, numerous flower beds, metal chairs, and green lawns.

At the end of the square, there are several large dome-shaped white buildings.

Such a scene, against the sky outside the island, makes some people look like a paradise in the sky.

However, upon closer inspection, the already dried-up fountains, the bare flower beds, the rusted metal chairs, and the overgrown lawns make them all covered with a gray tone with a sense of age, very mottled. unbearable.

However, this is not the most crucial point here.

I saw that on the square, there were crowds of people, and a personal stone sculpture was erected. At a glance, there were thousands of them.

These sculptures all have wings on their backs, different expressions, different heights, and they can be said to be lifelike.

And, even more surprising.

That is, almost all the human-shaped sculptures, no matter where they are located or what they are doing, are all swiping the ground and looking at the diagonally upper corner of the square.

"This is..." Feeling the occasional strange energy fluctuations on the lifelike statues, Lei Xiao was stunned for a while, his throat rolled, and he swallowed involuntarily.

Although the energy fluctuations emitted by the statues are very weak.

However, when all the statues were put together, the fluctuation reached a level that could be perceived.

The most incredible thing is that this kind of energy fluctuation obviously contains a trace of vitality that only living bodies can emit.

"These sculptures... used to be real living winged people?!" On the other side, Bai Wei, who was also puzzled, couldn't help but blurt out her debut.

"That's right, to be precise, these winged people were all imbued with some kind of very profound petrification magic in an instant.

And, it should have lasted for thousands of years. "

Seeing Ye Cang beside him, he nodded numbly Obviously, he has not recovered from the shock.

As a healer, he is naturally familiar with petrification-type magic.

The petrification type of magic is one of the forbidden spells.

Although the effect is very good, it can instantly turn enemies of the same rank and below into an immovable statue, but generally few strong people will actively use it.

Because once it is cast, it will not only consume magic power, but will also cause a certain degree of magic backlash to the caster himself.

Moreover, this backlash effect can also be increased according to the number of targets and the strength of each target.

Generally speaking, after adding this number to two digits.

It will reach an extremely terrifying level. If one is not careful, it may become self-defeating, or even explode to death.

What's more, it was the four-digit number that instantly turned a thousand people into stone? !

Thinking of this, Ye Cang took a deep breath and told Lei Xiao and the rest of the crowd what he knew.

After listening to Ye Cang's description, the expressions on everyone's faces were filled with shock.

It seems that thousands of years ago, this enchantment area of ​​the winged human race obviously encountered an extremely terrifying opponent.

"That is to say, thousands of years ago, the time of this empty island square, or the time of these winged people, has been stagnant at the moment when it was petrified?"

At this time, in addition to being shocked, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a thoughtful look on his face.
