Chapter 357 Entering the Unknown Land
Chaoyan blinked his big eyes and began to explain: "Because this barrier area is not in a normal state, but in a special state of self-repair!"
"The barrier area in a self-healing state will not only not emit any conventional energy fluctuations, but can also automatically absorb some energy particles from the outside world."
"After these energy particles from the outside world are blended with the energy particles that originally existed inside the barrier area, a wonderful magical convection phenomenon will occur."
"It's just that this magic convection phenomenon is generally difficult to detect, making most powerful people very unfamiliar with it."
After saying this while shaking his head, Chao Yan, who was a little dizzy, nodded towards Lei Xiao.
"So, the abnormal energy fluctuation just now was this kind of magical convection phenomenon?"
Lei Xiao's brows, which had been furrowed, slowly relaxed and he pondered.
"My lord, that's exactly what it is."
Chaoyan blinked his starry eyes again and continued to explain: "As for the reason why the abnormal energy fluctuations we just felt are so strong, there is only one answer, and that is that this barrier area is undergoing a large-scale self-repair. ! ”
"Super large-scale self-repair? This situation is indeed very rare."
A flash of white light flashed in Ye Cang's glasses, and he nodded thoughtfully: "Since each barrier area can be regarded as the crystallization of the wisdom of various races that can rival the miraculous buildings, the barrier area itself is It has an almost perfect self-healing function and can exist for a long time even without maintenance. ”
Pushing up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, Ye Cang continued: "Even if the hidden magic barrier at the entrance to the barrier is broken, it definitely cannot be called a large-scale self-repair, unless the entire barrier area itself is destroyed. It’s a big problem.”
"That's right, judging from the current situation, there is only one answer, and that is that this unknown boundary area is very old and has been dusty for a long time!"
Chaoyan nodded solemnly and affirmed: "It can also be concluded from this that there is almost no possibility of artificiality in all this, otherwise the previously unexplainable abnormal situations would not have occurred. After all, the original intention of establishing the barrier area, It exists for concealment and will not be easily noticed.”
"In this way, the abnormal conditions just mentioned, plus the sudden appearance of the high-level golem puppets, can completely make sense."
Ye Cang frowned and thought for a moment, then held up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "First of all, the abnormal energy fluctuations that appear from time to time have been explained very clearly just now. They are caused by magic convection."
"Secondly, the sound of breaking glass that is often heard at night is due to the aging of the magic wall in this ancient barrier area due to its age and disrepair. The sound is just similar. In addition, it was quickly destroyed again. Automatically repairs, so there are no traces at all. ”
"Finally, as for the outer moat and the island lake in the center of the city, the water level has dropped because the magic wall at the entrance to the barrier is often unstable, causing part of the lake water to flow directly into the barrier. .”
After listening to Ye Cang's analysis, Carol on the side nodded thoughtfully and agreed: "The moat on the periphery of the city and the island lake in the center of the city are indeed connected through an underground river. As long as the water level drops in one place, the water level in the other place will drop. There will inevitably be simultaneous declines in one place! ”
"That's what happened..."
Gerry's resolute face suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.
Then, he showed a puzzled expression and asked doubtfully: "How to explain the large number of disappearing warblers?"
"This is actually very simple."
With his starry eyes twinkling, Chaoyan first glanced at the lake that had returned to calm, and then said: "I believe everyone is familiar with the magical self-protection mechanism of the Ying Ying Oriole, right?"
"That is, they can emit strange sound waves to hide themselves, making it impossible for natural enemies to locate their specific locations through their breath."
"This kind of sound wave has long been proven in the magic world. It can produce a special resonance phenomenon with some barrier areas, and can even interfere with the magic wall."
"However, this resonance is very weak under normal circumstances and can almost be ignored. However, because the barrier area in the center of Shuiyue City is already in a state of disrepair..."
Having said this, Chao Yan raised his eyebrows and continued: "So, the matter is easy to explain."
"I understand. Are you saying that these warblers accidentally opened the entrance to the barrier and flew in by themselves?"
A look of sudden realization appeared on Carol's heroic face again, and she murmured to herself: "By the way, those residents in the city who reported the disappearance of the Yingying Orioles were indeed concentrated in the area near the center of the city, which happened to be the same as here. Exactly the same! ”
"In short, it was an ancient unknown barrier area that caused all of this to happen!"
I saw Chaoyan's gaze once again looking at the center of the lake, which was already as calm as a mirror and empty, and concluded: "And the entrance to this ancient barrier area is at the center of the island lake in front of you!"< br>
"If this is the case, then the origin of those black stone giants that suddenly appeared just now can be explained clearly. They ran out of the barrier!"
After finishing speaking, Gerry swallowed involuntarily and asked quickly: "Did our Shuiyue City's City Lord's Mansion and the island where it is located not disappear, but be sucked into it by the barrier?!"
"That's it."
With a stern look on his face, he responded: "I once saw a similar situation in an ancient book."
"When the enchantment area itself is in an unstable state, the many automatic repair magic arrays embedded in it may automatically absorb external things in order to maintain the balance of time and space and prevent the enchantment area from collapsing."
"The City Lord's Mansion and the island where it is located are exactly at the entrance to the barrier area, which can also prove this."
After hearing Chaoyan's affirmative answer, the three Shuiyue City garrison captains couldn't help but look shocked.
This situation is so bizarre that it is simply unbelievable.
If this young big shot hadn't appeared with a few knowledgeable experts, they might not be able to find the real answer even if they tried hard!
Thinking of this, the three of them looked at Lei Xiao with reverence,
"Okay, let's consider the next steps as soon as possible."
Lei Xiao clapped his hands, bringing the thoughts of the three garrison captains back to reality, and said: "Judging from the situation of those high-level golem puppets just now, the barrier area is likely to be full of dangers. The top priority now is to We must quickly find a way to restore the City Lord’s Mansion to its original location.”
"My lord is right!"
Gerry immediately nodded and said: "In the current City Lord's Mansion, although there are the City Lord, three elders from the Council of Presbyterians, Miss Faxia and A Bing who have just returned, a total of six third-level powerhouses, and two close The second-level elite soldiers of the Guard Squadron, but judging from the black stone giants that just appeared, I'm afraid the situation is still not optimistic..."
Hearing the sound, everyone's expressions became extremely serious again.
Especially the three captains of Shuiyue City looked solemn.
You know, for more than five hundred years since Shuiyue City was built, this unknown and mysterious boundary area has never been discovered.
No one knows what else exists there besides the black stone giant.
"Ye Cang, Chao Yan, regarding what I just mentioned, is it possible to pull the City Lord's Mansion out of the barrier area and restore it to its original position?"
Lei Xiao first waved his hand to signal that everyone should not panic, and then asked Erhanizi and Muscle Priest.
"Having said that, Chaoyan has made a lot of contributions this time. It seems that Erhanizi can still be relied on when it comes to magic."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Chao Yan pondered for a moment, then his big eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, this possibility does exist!"
"After all, the unknown barrier area was in disrepair and was an automatic correction measure in order to maintain the balance of time and space."
Chaoyan nodded his head and continued: "Therefore, as long as we can find a way to repair this barrier area, then in order to restore the balance of the two time and space to normal again, the barrier itself will automatically Correcting the mechanism will naturally spit out the city lord’s mansion and the island that were sucked in again.”
"Yes, there will be a specific formation eye area in the enchantment area. That is the central system of the entire enchantment area. There are a huge number of magic arrays in it. As long as we can find the formation eye area, Things will be easy to handle.”
Ye Cang stroked the shining metal skull necklace on his chest, which represented the identity of the dark healer, and said thoughtfully: "It doesn't matter even if this is not a human race, but a barrier area left by other alien races.
After all, what we need to do is to re-inject magic power into the magic circle that has been in disrepair and has lost its activity for a long time, so that the magic circle can be revitalized. As for the remaining repair work, the enchantment area itself will automatically complete it. ”
"Understood, it seems that no matter what, we need to go to the unknown barrier area in person."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity on his face: "I wonder what the scene is like in that barrier?"
"Sir, please allow us to come with you!"
Gerry, Carol and other three captains of the garrison immediately stepped forward, caressed their chests and saluted.
"Currently, Shuiyue City still needs strong men to take charge of the garrison in the city to prevent unexpected events."
Looking at the other strange third-level powerhouses who were hearing the sound on the street corner not far away, Lei Xiao pondered for a while and said: "You three, please send a representative to go with us."
"At present, everything is still unclear. Regarding the barrier area, the fewer people who know about it, the better."
Lei Xiao thought for a moment and then whispered to the three of them: "So, including other strong men in the city who came from nearby areas, let them go back first. In addition, double the scope of the blockade here. Be sure to This news must be completely blocked.”
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, let's make arrangements right now!"
The three garrison captains immediately bowed and began to move quickly.
A moment later, Carol, as the representative, joined Lei Xiao's team.
"Speaking of which, this commander named Carol should be the one Fasha mentioned before, who was the captain of the garrison under General Orange White of the Holy Light, right?"
Looking at this heroic female strongman who was about thirty years old, Lei Xiao thought to himself: "When the current issue of the barrier area comes to an end, I must ask in detail about the situation of General Holy Light Ju Bai. .”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the calm lake in front of him, and then said to the main subordinates in front of him: "Without further delay, let's set off now."
"Yes! My lord!"
All the main subordinates responded in unison. In the presence of non-territory personnel, they would naturally not reveal Lei Xiao's identity as an alien lord.
After everything in the surrounding area was completely cleared, Lei Xiao, who was standing at the end of the large wooden bridge in the center of the river, nodded to Ye Cang and Chao Yan beside him, indicating that they could start breaking through the entrance to the barrier area. Magic wall.
After receiving Lei Xiao's instructions, Ye Cang and Chao Yan immediately deployed a dark gold and fiery red hexagram magic array under their feet, slowly rotating.
At the same time, two spells with completely different tones sounded.
According to the previous task assignment, one of the two fourth-level magic experts on our side is locating the specific location of the entrance to the magic wall, and the other is making preparations to break the barrier.
As the spells became louder and louder, the magic circle under their feet began to rotate faster and faster.
In order to prevent unexpected events, the tiger stick protecting Lei Xiao's body was even more ready to attack, ready to deploy defensive energy barriers at any time.
After a while, with a crisp sound similar to that of glass falling to the ground, the calm lake in front began to become choppy again.
In mid-air, a space crack several meters long was torn apart out of thin air and expanding outwards.
At the same time, strong winds were blowing around, making everyone's clothes rustle.
A large dark chaotic vortex, like a giant movie screen, quickly condensed into shape, causing the surrounding scenery to become distorted.
For a moment, the whole scene was so turbulent that it was so shocking that Carol, Bai Wei and others next to them were dumbfounded.
Of course, for Lei Xiao, who had already experienced the half-elf barrier, this was not a shocking scene.
"Okay, let's move forward. Let's take a good look at what it will be like in this barrier area."
Nodding to the subordinates beside him, Lei Xiao took his own steps and followed Huzhang, Chaoyan and Ye Cang in front of him, and entered this ancient unknown place. (End of chapter)
