Chapter 358: place where time stands still
"My lord, judging from the current situation, this enchantment area of the 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 moment, then bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "The place we are now is just the tip of the iceberg in this enchanted area."
"That's true." On the other side, Bai Wei half-prostrated on the grass, pushed aside the weeds, examined them carefully, and sniffed them with her nose, and said, "On the ground here, there are giant footprints and long-term Traces of standing.
The smell is also very obvious, which is consistent with those high-level golem puppets in the form of black stone giants just now. "
"That's right, there is still a trace of the energy of the energy supply magic circle here, no wonder those high-level golem puppets that are summoned can last for such a long time." Chaoyan on the side squatted down to feel it carefully, and then added road.
"So that's how it is." Hearing this, Lei Xiao stared at the cloud and mist that was close in front of him, while revealing a look of deep thought.
With a better understanding of the world, he clearly understands.
In this world, the most common type of summoning spell is to summon this lifeless golem.
Moreover, most of the golem puppets can only last for a few days at most before dissipating automatically and returning to energy particles in the air.
However, there are also a small number of special golem puppets that can exist for a long time with continuous energy supply.
For example, in the ancient elf ruins next to Shen Banxia's territory, we saw the tree guard treeman inlaid with the core of the elves.
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 in the guardian defense agency.
According to the research of our own magic powerhouses, these high-level golem puppets manufactured by miraculous buildings possess extraordinary stability and battery life.
It can also be kept active as long as it stays fueled and can be stowed away in the storage space.
Ordinary golem puppets cannot be stored inside 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 supply magic circle here?" Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"I totally understand..." Carol, who was dressed in armor, also revealed a look of enlightenment, and muttered to herself: "So, those black stone giants who attacked madly just now.
In fact, it is just the guardian at the entrance of this enchantment area, usually in a dormant state.
And because the magic wall at the entrance of the enchantment area has been in disrepair for a long time, it is extremely unstable.
So, this is why he took the opportunity to come to the outside world, right? "
"That's right, these guardians must be set to automatically attack any non-winged human race, and after the barrier at the entrance of the enchantment dissipates automatically, it is equivalent to connecting the passage between here and the outside world.
Therefore, after sensing the breath of a large number of soldiers from the outside world, the black stone giants will naturally take the initiative to attack. "
On the other side, Chaoyan blinked her big eyes, nodded to Carol, and added again.
"Okay, now all the doubts are solved." At this time, Lei Xiao took his bird's-eye view of the mountains away from the island, and then said: "Let's move on."
"My lord, I have another question."
Just when everyone was re-arranging for exploration, there was a clear sound of armor colliding, and the saucy-looking Carol bowed slightly, and said to Lei Xiao with a puzzled expression: "This is Wing The enchantment area of the human race.
The distance between the sky island and the sky island seems to be very far away. Except for the strong magicians, how do we go to the next sky island? "
"You don't have to worry about that." With a slight smile, Lei Xiao said to Ye Cang and Chaoyan who were beside him: "I remember hearing a friend who had dealings with the Yiren once said that.
Although the winged people are born with white wings and can soar in the sky, but the winged people who have not undergone the coming-of-age ceremony cannot do this.
Therefore, in order to make it easier for young people to travel between empty islands, the winged people seem to be better at teleporting magic, right? "
Lei Xiao's friend is naturally Jiangli, the ancestor of the half-elf.
According to Jiang Li, due to their naturally light bones and thin body, compared with the melee attacks of the physics department, the winged humans still prefer to study magic.
Therefore, the entire race has high attainments in magic, almost comparable to another well-known race that is good at magic, the elves.
In addition, the hero king Xisa who established the Lengyan Kingdom, or Wang Xi the traverser, was also mentioned.
The teleportation magic circle at the end of the underground plaza of Luolong City was created by a sixth-order powerhouse of the Winged Human Race.
Shaking his head helplessly, Ye Cang said again: "Your subordinates will lead the way for you."
"Okay, let's go." Wei Wei nodded, and 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 open-air plaza with bright sunlight.
At first glance, this giant square can be described as very vast.
According to Lei Xiao's estimate, it is at least the size of a dozen standard football fields. As for the edge, it is not like the clouds and fog on the entrance island before.
Instead, you can clearly see two suns, one big and one small, and the white clouds surrounding them.
On the huge square, the ground is paved with pure white marble, and there are several fountains of different sizes, numerous flower beds, metal chairs, and stretches of green lawn.
At the end of the square, there are several large dome-shaped white buildings.
This kind of scene, against the aerial scene outside the island, makes some people look like a paradise with castles in the air.
However, upon careful observation, the dry fountains, bare flower beds, rusty metal chairs, and weedy lawns all cast a gray tone with a sense of age, which is very mottled. Unbearable.
However, this is not the most critical point here.
I saw that on the square, there were a lot of people, and there was a stone sculpture in the shape of a person. At a glance, there were thousands of them.
These sculptures are all with wings on their backs, with different looks and heights, so they are lifelike.
And, even more surprising.
That is, almost all the humanoid sculptures, no matter where they are or what they are doing, are all in unison, looking at the diagonally upper corner of the square, with expressions of fear and surprise, as if seeing the end of the world coming.
"This is..." Sensing the strange energy fluctuations occasionally coming from the lifelike statues, Lei Xiao was stunned for a while, his throat rolled, and he swallowed involuntarily.
Although the energy fluctuations emitted by these statues are very weak.
However, when all the statues are gathered together, this kind of fluctuation has reached a level that can be perceived.
The most unbelievable thing is that this kind of energy fluctuation obviously contains a trace of vitality that only a living body can emit.
"These sculptures... used to be real living winged humans?!" On the other side, Bai Wei, who was also puzzled, couldn't help blurting out.
"That's right, to be precise, these winged humans were all cast with some kind of very advanced petrification magic in an instant.
And, it should have lasted for thousands of years. "
Ye Cang, who was at the side, nodded numbly, apparently still not recovering from the shock.
As a healer, he was naturally very familiar with petrochemical magic.
Petrification-type magic is one of the taboo spells.
Although the effect is extremely good, it can instantly turn enemies of the same class and below into an immovable statue, but generally very few strong people will actively use it.
Because once it is cast, it will not only consume magic power, but also cause a certain degree of magical backlash to the caster himself.
And ~ This backlash effect can also be increased according to the number of targets and their respective strengths.
Generally speaking, this number, after being superimposed to two digits.
It will reach an extremely terrifying level, and if one is not careful, it may be self-defeating, or even explode to death.
What's more, is it the four-digit number that instantly turns thousands of people into stone? !
Thinking of this, Ye Cang took a deep breath, and told Lei Xiao and the rest of the people everything he knew.
After listening to Ye Cang's description, the shock on everyone's faces was beyond words.
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, this Sky Island Square, or the time of these winged humans, has been stagnant at the moment of being petrified?"
At this moment, while being shocked, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a thoughtful look on his face.
