Chapter 189 The Lost
Rhodes and the others were stunned by the sudden strange scene.
Because this is the first time they have seen this kind of half-spiritual and half-entity life, and they are basically elves and humans.
It looks like...
The soul that is transforming towards the entity.
Or is it an entity that is transforming into a soul?
"What are they doing? Are they escorting these people inside?" Augula asked in a low voice.
Unexpectedly.
When he turned around, he found that Yilin had already reached half of her body outside and was looking at a figure in the escort team with wide eyes.
"Lillian! She is still alive!"
Her voice was trembling, filled with uncontrollable excitement and disbelief, but she still kept her voice as low as possible so as not to be noticed by those in the distance.
"Lillian? Your tribe?" Rhodes asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Yilin replied firmly, "Although the appearance has changed a bit, I will never admit it, it is my tribe!"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She accidentally lost control and let out a trace of her breath.
"Who's there?"
In the escort team, a tall elf walking in front suddenly pulled up his bow and arrow, pointing directly at the place where they were hiding.
Erin's expression changed slightly, but she quickly reacted and whispered to Rhodes and O'Gula beside her: "I'll go over and take a look myself. If the situation is not right, O'Gula, take Lord Rhodes and leave immediately." ”
"Okay, be careful yourself."
Rhodes nodded and had no intention of leaving immediately.
If it is true as Yilin said, the elves are her tribe, and they may be able to communicate smoothly and obtain more information.
Anyway, those elves seemed to be at the highest level of the fourth level, and they could not threaten their safety.
"Then I'll go."
Yilin gritted her teeth, left the fruit space and came outside, looking at the elf with the bow pointing here: "Lillian, it's me, Yilin, don't you remember me?"
Her appearance immediately made the entire escort team tense up, and they all raised their bows and arrows to point this way.
The leading elf named Lilian frowned: "Ilin? Are you Irene?"
Perhaps it was too long, and the elf thought about it for a long time before finally remembering something, and his eyes gradually lit up.
But immediately, she noticed the contaminated land under Yilin's feet, and her expression suddenly changed: "No! You are not Yilin! You are a nightmare!"
"I……"
Whoosh!
As soon as Yilin opened her mouth, the sound of breaking through the air was heard.
A sharp arrow turned into an afterimage and shot towards her.
His face changed so quickly that Rhodes and the others were beyond their expectations.
Fortunately, Yilin was not weak, and she avoided the arrows with a dodge and ran quickly towards the opposite side.
"Lillian, what's wrong with you? I'm really Irene, don't you recognize me?" Her voice was full of anxiety, eager to prove her identity.
"Damn nightmare, do you think this trick can fool us? Go to hell!"
Amidst the angry shouts, several rangers responsible for the escort took action, and arrows suddenly shot out, targeting Yilin mercilessly.
Those murderous intentions and words didn't look like fake ones at all, which made Yilin even more anxious, not understanding what was going on.
Seeing that the noise was getting louder and louder, and that other indigenous residents might be attracted at any time, Rhodes made a quick decision.
"Rescue those people and get out of here first!"
As he finished speaking, he raised his arm, and two magic circles lit up, summoning large vines with a rumbling sound to wrap around the elves.
Yilin, who was avoiding the arrows, gritted her teeth and turned into an afterimage and rushed forward.
"Sorry."
After leaving a few words, he took away the "prisoners" who were tied up in chains and swept out of the forest to join Rhodes and the others.
However, before they could speak, a prisoner who broke free spoke first: "Follow me, I know a place to hide!"
Rhodes and the others, who originally wanted to leave here, looked at each other and immediately changed their minds and followed.
The group of people kept walking through the forest, twisting and turning for an unknown amount of time, and finally came to the ruins of a dilapidated building.
The leading old elf called on several tribesmen to open up the rubble, revealing a well-hidden magic circle underneath.
Then he touched his dirty body and found a green crystal stone, which he inserted into the groove in the center.
"Hurry up, they are coming!"
Waved to Rhodes and the others, the magic array under their feet also lit up.
Rhodes and the others looked at each other and when they heard the sound of pursuit getting closer and closer behind them, they stepped into the magic circle without hesitation.
Buzz——
Light bursts.
After a feeling of weightlessness, they had arrived in a dark underground building.
Before he could stand still, there were shouts of surprise from the side.
"Back!"
"They're back!"
"Very good!"
"Quickly cut off the connection with the magic circle!"
Accompanied by these sounds, the teleportation circle that originally appeared to be radiant quickly dimmed and became completely silent.
After reacting, Rhodes finally saw the surrounding scene clearly through the firelight on the wall, and froze on the spot.
people.
Darkness overwhelmed a large group of people.
There are many other races that are surrounding the magic circle where they are standing. They all look sallow and thin, and they are as tall as the aborigines outside.
"This...what exactly is going on?"
Erin couldn't help but ask. She still hadn't recovered from the successive drastic changes.
The appearance of unfamiliar faces also caused the crowd to instantly become commotion, and everyone looked wary, as if they were frightened birds.
"Don't worry, they saved us."
The old elf stood up quickly and explained what happened along the way.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions finally softened a lot, and they all looked at the four Rhodes curiously.
Especially after seeing the completely materialized bodies of Rhodes and Little Thing, he was even more surprised.
"You two are out of your nightmare?"
"It's really transformed into a physical entity!"
"How did you do it?"
The crowd screamed and everyone gathered around Rhodes and the little thing, as if they had seen something incredible.
It was only then that Rhodes noticed that these people were like the old elf and their bodies, half soul and half entity.
Some have more physical parts, and some have more soul parts, but none of them are pure souls like the aborigines outside.
Is this why they are being hunted?
And what does it mean to escape the nightmare?
"Okay, don't hang around here. They must be tired after just experiencing an escape. Take them over to rest first."
The old elf quickly stood up to stop him.
He seemed to be quite prestigious here. After his words fell, the crowd finally became less commotion and gradually moved out of the way.
The old elf looked at Erin, perhaps because of her strength, with a little respect: "Please come with me. I will take you to rest first. Those who are lost will not be able to find this place for a while."
"The Lost One? What is that?"
Augula quickly followed, and Rhodes and the others followed closely behind, with a lot of questions in their minds.
"The lost ones are the people who were chasing us just now." The old elf sighed, his old face full of sadness.
"Why are they chasing us? We didn't do anything bad." Augula curled his lips, looking unhappy.
He attacked them without saying a word as soon as they met, and called them nightmares and monsters, sending them fleeing. When had he, Ogola, ever been so angry?
"It's normal that you don't know."
The old elf obviously regarded them as people living in this world. He took a torch from the wall and continued:
"Ever since Master Dreamweaver's temperament changed, the entire Terrassil has changed accordingly. All souls have lost themselves. Only a few people remain awake, but they are treated as nightmares, driven away or even killed."
"Bah! Is that called lost?" The accompanying humans cursed, "They have fallen, their souls have been corrupted, and they have turned into complete monsters!"
"No, you are wrong. They can still be saved, but we haven't found a way to wake them up."
"A way? What way? Terrassil is finished!"
"Max, I don't want to argue with you about this issue anymore. You'd better not affect our plans."
"Hmph! I'm not interested in causing damage."
In the end, the two broke up due to a quarrel.
Rhodes and the others listened silently, but their hearts were shocked.
Is Dream Weaver really still alive?
And it seems to be in this city called Terrassil?
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but ask.
"I don't understand one thing. You say those people are corrupted, but I think they are obviously good, right?"
"No, they are completely crazy, they just look normal!" Max slowed down and came to them.
"Why?"
Now Rhodes was even more confused.
Judging from the fact that they can communicate normally, those people should be quite normal. At least they retain their sense of self and don't look like they are crazy.
"Max is right about that, they are crazy."
The old elf sighed and spoke leisurely: "Fifteen hundred years ago, our ancestors were brought to live in the territory by the Dream Weaver due to the destruction of the Dream Woodland. They also spent more than a thousand years safely until that happened. …”
"At the beginning, only a few people went crazy and attacked their own tribe without warning. At that time, we thought it was an ordinary vicious incident and didn't pay attention. We just imprisoned them."
"But as time went by, more and more people went crazy, attacking people when they saw them, shouting things like nightmares and monsters. At that time, everyone finally realized that something was wrong and began to control the spread of the situation."
"But we still underestimated the seriousness of that incident. More and more people went crazy and took up weapons to attack their companions, just like a disease, plunging the entire Terrassil into chaos."
"After a long battle, Terrassil finally fell and was occupied by those crazy people. The few surviving members of my clan had to flee the surface and hide in this dark underground life, and have been looking for those crazy people. The reason and the way to wake them up.”
The old elf's voice echoed in the underground corridor, making Rhodes and others suspicious.
So something like this happened here?
No wonder the aborigines attacked them involuntarily when they saw them, treating them as monsters even though they could communicate.
In this case, it would be very difficult for them to enter the city and find the demigod mark, or the Dream Weaver, one of the four demigods.
"That's not right. Wasn't the Dream Forest destroyed three hundred years ago? How could it be more than a thousand years?" Augula muttered stupidly, his focus was obviously not on the same line.
However, his words reminded Rhode and Irene that the flow of time here was obviously different from that outside, and the difference was very huge.
Three hundred years outside.
It actually took fifteen hundred years here!
Is this also the power of the dream weaver?
"Ah!"
Suddenly, the little thing's cry sounded, interrupting their thoughts.
The team turned the corner and came to a rest hall. At a glance, they saw many thin figures sitting against the wall, looking lifeless.
"Sorry, because the ground is occupied, we don't have much land to plant and no food to entertain you. We can only ask you to rest here for a while." The old elf said apologetically.
