"I made that up casually, but you still remember it..." The girl pursed her lips and said in a somewhat authentic voice, but her face was a little red.

"But it is true that some players have encountered that NPC, so there is that rumor... Well, let me think about it..."

The girl tugged at her hair with some distress: "They lived... They don't have details, but... Oh my, it's been so long, who still remembers it? Besides, it's been so long."

It’s not just blowing, it’s just two…”

"Some people have mentioned it, some people have not... Among the people mentioned, it seems that Big Brother North and South mentioned that the person was carrying an ax, the kind used to chop down trees...Sister Chocolate

I saw that old man in a straw hat who was holding a big knife and looked very cool when he was playing it... Yes, her eyes were full of stars and she had a look of longing on her face, I remember it very clearly."

Amid the black lines on other people's faces, the girl stumbled and told what she knew. Duan Qing finally got the answer he wanted - that powerful and strange uncle who seemed to use a different one every time.

Weapons. This... feeling of not being normal aroused Duan Qing's attention and vigilance.

Is there a hidden master who is proficient in all kinds of martial arts hidden in this forest? How is it possible? The entire forest is abnormal, so this situation is obviously abnormal... But why? Among them

Is there anything that players need to pay attention to and think about?

where is the problem?

Duan Qing couldn't think of the strangeness of that uncle and its significance for a while. However, the discussion did not stop because of Duan Qing's thinking. First, several people separated their respective appearances - Mengzhu and Xueling Huanbing.

Some broken gemstones were found, with various colors. It is said that the two of them were attracted by an ornament inlaid with gemstones. After Mengzhu took it off the shelf, the thing shattered, and then those

The vines attacked from the broken window, which led to the subsequent scene.

"Huh, as expected, women's attention is different..." After knowing the cause of the attack, the burly man holding his chest naturally would not let go of this opportunity to laugh. He knew that the girl who had caused trouble was a little self-conscious.

Lowering his head in blame, Xue Ling Huan Bing couldn't stand it anymore and took out the broken gems: "At least we have gained something, which is better than you empty-handed grown men..."

"Hey, we don't want to trade our lives for..."

"These stones..." Before the mountain was broken, the woman in blue robe reached out and took the gems. She stared at what others saw as just some colorful stones, and frowned: "...

.. There are still some magical skills left, and it seems that they should have had some protective effect before, but it is not yet certain yet. Perhaps if we study it again after we go back, we will probably understand the original function of these gems more clearly...

"

She returned the stone to Xueling Huanbing: "Maybe that's why those vines have remained silent until now..."

"Just me, those vines were fine outside, why did they suddenly move..." The simple-minded girl became happy again, waved her fist, then grabbed a piece of barbecue in front of her and bit into it viciously.

, like biting those vines.

"But since these protections have been lost, those vines will not appear again, right?" Duan Qing said on the side: "Also, if you eat more, you will gain weight..."

"This is a free world, what am I afraid of..." The girl squinted her eyes: "Stop bluffing, those vines are dead, don't even think about scaring me anymore..."

"Give me the gem, and I'll see if you panic when you encounter these things in the future."

"No. If I go back and sell the money, I can consider sharing it with you...well, just 10%."

"Hey, this is too much..."

Unlike the Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice Institute, Aniu and Duanshanyue still found some ancient armor equipment, but this was the only harvest they had left after rummaging through all kinds of useless garbage. Although the armor

It was already in tatters and difficult to use, but the marks engraved on it were worth studying. So Duan Shanyue asked Aniu to drag it back and show it to Christine.

"...This is the symbol of the ancient magic empire." Christine just glanced at it and answered.

She was holding a tea cup that was conjured from nowhere in one hand, and pointed to the diamond-shaped symbol with the other hand: "Here, here, and here, they should have colors that represent the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind. Maybe it's because of the age.

The color has all been lost..."

The long rhombus had two vertical and horizontal lines in the middle, dividing the interior of the rhombus into four equal parts, and was surrounded by a circle of star decorations. Duan Qing and others looked at the sign, and sure enough, in addition to the engraved

Apart from the lines on the armor, no other colors can be seen.

"The appearance of this thing proves that we are not looking for the wrong place... plus the previous gems." Christine's voice was full of confidence: "This should be where people from the ancient Magic Empire once lived.

The place."

Duan Qing couldn't help but look around. The collapsed ruins and broken walls not far away seemed to suddenly wake up in the dark night, using their broken bodies to tell the story of the once vibrant scene when the people here lived there.

.Now that it has become like this, and even the final destruction of the Thousand-Year Empire, one cannot help but feel the power of time.

But there seems to be something missing in this long river of time.

"There are no corpses..." Staring at the ruins in the dark night and recalling the search during the day, Duan Qing suddenly realized what was wrong.

"We didn't find any corpses." He looked around at the others, and as expected, he saw a look of awareness in their eyes: "If this village encountered any disaster a thousand years ago, there should always be dead people...

..."

"And now there is not a single corpse, which means..." Xue Ling Huan Bing continued: "Did they all escape? That's not right either."

"We can find the remains of some daily necessities in this village." Duan Shanyue first added: "In other words, there was no planned escape here. They did not escape on their own initiative. But... if...

If you were in trouble and escaped passively, there should be traces of war or disaster, at least... there should be corpses."

"But just now... there was nothing of value." There was also a hint of doubt in the girl's voice: "There was not even a corpse..."

"So what, we can't see anything..." A Niu scratched his head and ears.

"Or there are many possibilities." Duan Qing explained: "For example, some kind of disease that wiped out human beings left no bones in the end, or there are creatures that like bones in this forest, and they cleaned it up, or maybe

..."

He looked at the pair of great magician sisters: "There were humans who...did similar things."

"Don't look at us with that look. We also want to know what's going on." Facing Duan Qing's meaningful gaze, the woman in blue robe still smiled calmly: "But I still admire you very much, the adventurers."

Observation and thinking…really very rigorous.”

"As for us, we did discover something. But... let my sister introduce it to you." The soft voice belonging to Christine continued, but she seemed to intend to let her sister also express it.

Ichiban: She closed her eyes after saying this, holding the tea cup in both hands and drinking gracefully, but Freya, who was hiding behind her, obviously did not expect that she had her own part in this discussion——

She was still stuffing barbecue into her mouth.

Seeing that everyone suddenly focused their attention on her, the woman in red robe stopped bringing food to her mouth. She slowly put down the skewer of barbecue in her hand, swallowed hard, and then seemed to be choked, which was very painful.

He raised his head and beat his chest with his hands.

The adventurers tried hard to suppress their laughter, and their faces became distorted.

Freya finally took her breath away. She stroked her tall chest a little and put on her signature expressionless face again.

"Earlier, we found some remains in front of us..." she said calmly.
