Chapter 518： The dark cloud presses the forest and the treasure reacts

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao immediately opened the details interface of the private message.

I saw that it was not someone else who sent the message, but the female lord Wind Chime, who had a talent for treasure hunting and had previously explored the ancient ship with him.

The specific reply of the other party is as follows:

[Elder Xiaoshen, the sky is dark and the soil is going downstairs, filling the air is full of fish, save us, it is very neat here]

Looking at this line of short and incoherent, and even the end part of the text like garbled characters.

In addition to being slightly surprised, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but show a look of indifference.

In simple terms, it is basically certain.

This unreasonable reply was obviously sent by the other party in a hurry and didn't complete the reply.

As for why this happened, it is very likely that the other party has been restricted from moving, or simply fainted.

Having said that, Lei Xiao, who is already familiar with the long-distance communication between the lord and the lord, naturally understands it clearly.

Whether it is a private message interface or a chat channel.

They are all virtual keyboards that need to be used and can only be seen by yourself. You can customize the size first, and then project it on the desktop or other planes before you can type.

The feel of using it is about the same as typing on a mobile phone.

It can be seen that most of those unsmooth words should be caused by the other party choosing the wrong corresponding words to express in a hurry when typing fast.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that, as for the function of voice communication between lords, and even the function of calling, it is not without.

However, both parties need to reach the level 6 lord's mansion before they can use it.

Therefore, at this stage, for the vast majority of the lords who are far ahead of the first echelon, even the 5th-level mansion.

Typing communication will still be the mainstream for some time to come.

"From the current situation, it is impossible to ask the other party. The most urgent task now is to first understand what the other party wants to express."

Frowning slightly, Lei Xiao focused his gaze on this text again.

Next, after some simple extrapolation, try it on the virtual keyboard.

Lei Xiao finally restored the correct meaning that the other party wanted to express as follows:

[Elder Xiaoshen, the sky is suddenly dark, the sky is full of fish, save us, it's very strange here]

Staring at this paragraph of text that has been restored by himself, but still unbelievable, Lei Xiao's brows are almost twisted together.

First of all, the first four words "Xiaoshen Da Lao" are addresses to himself, so there is no need to say them.

Secondly, there is nothing worthy of in-depth interpretation in the second half of "Save us" and "This is strange."

As for the two paragraphs in the middle part, "the sky suddenly darkened" and "the sky is full of fish", it is a bit intriguing.

At present, it is a sunny afternoon, and there is still quite a while before evening.

Therefore, "the sky suddenly darkened" is obviously not normal.

The most unusual thing is the phrase "the sky is full of fish".

"Although there are indeed many places in this different world, which are very different from Blue Star, but the sky is full of fish. It's not a normal phenomenon, right?"

Looking at the bright sunlight projected from the window of the lord's office, and the little spots of light formed on the smooth wooden desk surface, Lei Xiao couldn't help but pouted slightly and continued to think.

"According to the various situations I have experienced in the past, could it be that someone in the Songyin Mountains performed a sky illusion similar to the one in the Shanjing Principality?"

While pondering, Lei Xiao, who was leaning against the desk, unconsciously raised his half-held right hand, put his thumb on his cheek, and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose with his index finger. This was his habit of thinking. action.

"If you think about it like this, the situation can indeed be explained."

"From the natural mirages formed in the ancient battlefield ruins, I have already learned that the powerhouses below the third rank, and even ordinary people, may indeed faint in the illusion, especially in the eye area near the center of the illusion. ."

Realizing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"However, why would someone perform such a large-scale illusion in the rarely visited Songyin Mountains? As far as I know, the territories of Qin Qian, Jiang Hao, and Fengling are not in the same adjacent area. ."

"If it's just to destroy the lord of the other world, then a simpler method can be used. After all, large-scale illusions are extremely draining of the magician's magic power."

"Furthermore, unlike small and medium-sized illusions, when performing large-scale illusions, in order to achieve the best confusing effect, illusionists often need to use extremely valuable magic props as auxiliary."

At this time, a look of doubt appeared on Lei Xiao's face again: "Therefore, using illusion to destroy the lord of the other world is undoubtedly a big fuss, or... in the Songyin Mountains, there is also an encounter. A mirage formed naturally in the field?"

"However, the mirage of this world, like the blue star's mirage, is a rare phenomenon that can only occur under extremely accidental conditions. It stands to reason that it should not appear so frequently."

Just when Lei Xiao was puzzled.

His private message alert sounded again.

This time, the message was sent by another male lord, Pan Zhi.

"By the way, in the Songyin Mountains at that time, this guy was the representative of the unsung lord, and he was with Qin Qian, Jiang Hao, and Fengling to explore the ancient ship in the underground cave with me, but he was forgotten. already."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately opened the details interface of the private message.

"Elder Xiaoshen, it's not good! The large area where Qin Qian and the others are located is shrouded in an extremely thick black mist, and there is lightning and thunder in it.

At first, I thought it was just going to rain, but as a result, the dark clouds were sinking faster and faster, and at the end, almost the entire ground was covered, which looked extremely terrifying! Strangely, the sky above was clear. "

After reading this private message, Lei Xiao's face once again showed a pensive look.

"I remember that when I went to the ancient battlefield ruins, I saw only a thick white fog, and there was no lightning and thunder. It seems that the natural mirage can be completely ruled out."

Staring at the text on the private message, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"As for the artificially formed illusion, it can't be ruled out at present. After all, as far as I know, outside the illusion, making some abnormal natural scenes to confuse others other than the target is the usual method of illusionists."

Lei Xiao just thought of this when Pan Zhi's second message was sent again.

"By the way, Mr. Xiaoshen, I heard in the chat channel that the talents of several passive treasure hunters around the area covered by the black mist all point to the black mist, and it seems that treasures suddenly appeared there. trace!

This is simply too strange! You must know that when there is no black fog, there is no response from any treasures in that area! "

"Is there such a thing?"

Seeing this, Lei Xiao's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

He has also heard about passive treasure hunting talents.

It is different from the active treasure hunting talent possessed by Su Rui and Feng Chi.

Lords who have awakened passive treasure hunting talent will only get feedback when they are close to the area where the treasure is located, and cannot actively search.

And, like most active treasure hunt talents, you can only get feedback once a day.

However, since the perception range of the passive treasure hunt talent is significantly wider than that of the active type, the perceived location is only a roughly broad area.

This makes it far less practical than the active type.

Of course, there are also some smart lords who have come up with an excellent solution.

That is, the lord of passive talent will first perceive the approximate range of the treasure.

The active talent lord will further narrow the scope of the treasure to achieve the goal of win-win cooperation.

It is a pity that Lei Xiao once told Lin Chuan, Su Ruan, Su Mo, and Qin Qian to pay attention to the clues about treasure hunting in the chat channel.

The final feedback was all found by these lords after untold hardships.

Not an adventurer's skeleton equipped with low-level weapons and armor, or some buried ancient gold coins, gems, and metal utensils that are only valuable for collection.

These objects are undoubtedly a lot of wealth for ordinary lords, and they can exchange for the golden dragons and items they need in the surrounding cities.

But for Lei Xiao, who has already achieved freedom of wealth and even a wealth that rivals the country, it is of no value, and it is not worth wasting time on this.

"However, having said that, after the mysterious black fog appeared in the area where there was no reaction, there was a sudden reaction of the treasure. This is a rare thing."

"After all, as far as I know, the treasures found by these lords with treasure-hunting talents are all unowned items that no one has touched for a long time, and it is absolutely impossible to use the equipment on living people as Work is a treasure."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

He also received private messages from Su Ruo and Su Mo in the old mining area of ​​Gelin City, Zhou Wu on the mountain next to Luolong City, and Shen Banxia, ​​all of which mentioned the situation Pan Zhi said just now.

"It seems that this matter has been spread in the circle of lords in the surrounding area. Therefore, its authenticity should be beyond doubt."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think.

"Then, the question arises, how did the treasure reaction suddenly appear in the area where there was no treasure at all?"

After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao asked Pan Zhi about the specific situation in his area.

The reply was that Pan Zhi's territory was also in the vast Songyin Mountains.

But there is still a certain distance from the range covered by the black fog, so it was not affected.

It just feels that the fresh air in the mountains and forests has suddenly become much thinner, just like coming to a very high altitude area.

After carefully reading every word Pan Zhi sent, Lei Xiao pondered.

While reciting the words, they contacted Kelly from Fanyin City, Ed from Shuiyue City, and Tran from Fenglong City at both ends of the Songyin Mountains, and asked them if there was anything unusual there.

The answer was that nothing unusual was found, and the weather did not change.

It's no wonder, after all, the Songyin Mountains are extremely vast, and the surrounding areas are scattered with jagged peaks, so it is really difficult to see the situation in the mountains.

And also because of the complex terrain, it is difficult to detect the sudden abnormality in the mountains from the energy flow.

"It seems that there is a problem, only the area where Qin Qian and others are located, a relatively wide area, and the scope of influence is limited, so that only the other lords around them discovered the clue at the first time."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help showing a look of curiosity and doubt.

Through the private message of the wind chimes, it can be analyzed.

Within the range covered by the thick black fog, what you can see is the night and the fish in the sky, which makes people feel very inexplicable.

In addition, Qin Qian, Jiang Hao and Feng Chi have not responded to messages since then.

However, in front of the name of the friend column, there is a green living status flashing.

It can be seen that the three should have fainted.

Outside of the thick black fog, Pan Zhi and other nearby lords saw the strange scene of the black thundercloud descending rapidly, but the sky above was clear, and they felt that the surrounding air suddenly became extremely thin.

The most important thing is that in the area where there was no treasure reaction, after the dark cloud pressed the forest, the treasure response appeared.

"The sudden appearance of the treasure's reaction has undoubtedly negated the idea of ​​someone releasing illusions from the side. After all, it is impossible for illusionists to use virtual illusions to directly conjure real treasures."

Thinking of this, the curiosity on Lei Xiao's face began to grow stronger.

In my heart, I continued to think: "Things are really becoming more and more interesting. What is the truth behind all this? What will be the treasure that suddenly appeared?"

"Also Qin Qian, the head of the Xiaoshen No. 9 regiment, is also a key part of my experiment to gather the strength of other lords, so I can't let them die easily."

"In addition, according to the predetermined plan, I had to pass through Fanyin City from the Songyin Mountains. It seems that, no matter what, I have to go there."

"However, before that, it is naturally necessary to seek the opinions of the subordinates, and to the maximum extent, figure out what the black fog is."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao took a step and walked out of the lord's office.

While reading the words, he informed all the subordinates who had been to the lord's office just now, and went to the castle hall on the first floor to gather.

That's it, a moment's effort.

Lei Xiao was already sitting on the throne at the top of the hall on the first floor.

In his lower position, he stood respectfully in two rows, surrounded by subordinates who exuded a good momentum.

"Everyone, the situation is urgent and strange, so I'll keep it short."

Facing the main powerhouses and commanders under his command, he nodded slightly.

Lei Xiao briefly described what he thought and heard just now.

Hearing the sound, all the subordinates looked at each other in dismay, and all of them couldn't help but have a thoughtful look.
