Six days later, Xu Yi appeared on an unknown island about two hundred kilometers northwest of the space island where the overseas base is located.
"Where are the ruins?" As soon as the magic airship stopped, Xu Yi asked Santander, the commander of the magic airship that brought them here.
This small island is not large, and you can see it all at a glance from the air, but you don't see anything too strange.
"President, look over there..." Santander pointed to the middle of the island through the porthole of the magic airship. "Did you see it? There are some particularly thick trees there, and the place we found that looks like a ruin is just under those trees.
"Well, then get ready to take action." Xu Yi nodded, turned around and looked around, seeing Akali who looked excited and expectant, and Elder Undini who looked obviously much more solemn. "Elder Undini, you are more familiar with these ruins. Is there anything you need to explain?"
This time Xu Yi led the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce team to leave the main base. The stated purpose was to go to Moyun Continent to personally guide the development of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on Moyun Continent.
But the secret purpose is to come to the overseas research base where Akali is located to express condolences and inquire about the progress of the research. The other is to come and explore the ruins of the Abyssal Demon Clan that are probably in this area.
Regarding the Abyss Demon Clan, Xu Yi first heard about it from Magister Camilla, but later learned more about it from Cassandra.
But when it comes to truly getting a preliminary understanding, it was through Elder Undini.
Even among the elven tribes in the entire Sainz continent, the Azshara tribe has the most complete inheritance, and it also owns part of the heritage of the elven royal court. Naturally, it knows more about the history of this continent than other elves. Some.
When Xu Yi tentatively asked Elder Undine about the Abyss Demons, he received a detailed answer far beyond his imagination.
According to the information provided by Elder Undine, the Abyss Demon Tribe was indeed a powerful race that ruled the entire Sainz Continent before the Elf Tribe.
Later, due to internal turmoil, the Abyss Demon Clan suffered a large number of casualties, so that the population was greatly reduced, and even almost wiped out.
It is said that the remaining abyss demon clan. He relied on his powerful ability to reach the depths of the Endless Sea, then opened a portal to another world, left this world, and has been missing since.
Regarding what Magister Camilla said, the Abyss Demons may return from another world. Elder Undine said the probability is very low.
Because the Abyss Demons have left this world for more than ten thousand years, if they had the ability or were willing to come back, they would have come back long ago.
Since there has been no news of the Abyss Demons appearing in this world for such a long time, it can be assumed that they have completely disappeared.
This answer disappointed Xu Yi.
Through inquiring about various rumors about the Abyss Demon Clan, as well as the records about the Abyss Demon Clan within the elves. Xu Yi is almost certain that this so-called Abyss Demon Race is actually a race with a highly developed civilization and strong technical capabilities.
Just the "Doomsday War" recorded in the elven legends about the Abyss Demon Clan fully reflects this point.
In the description of this "Doomsday War", many texts indicate that the so-called Doomsday War is a civil war in which the Abyss Demon Clan used the most powerful weapons at their disposal, resulting in the death of most of the Abyss Demon Clan. Directly died, so the population dropped sharply.
And it is for this reason. Only the Abyss Demons left this world through the portal.
Fragments of records and legends with obvious speculations all indicate that the Abyss Demons left because they felt that this world was no longer suitable for them to survive.
This so-called "doomsday battle" reminded Xu Yi of the doomsday scenes described in many literary novels on the earth.
Isn’t the legendary “most powerful weapon” the same as the nuclear weapons on earth
In novels, movies, etc. on Earth, there have been countless fantasies about a nuclear war breaking out on Earth, and then the entire Earth will fall into doomsday, and humans will lose their living space and have no choice but to survive.
Records about the Abyss Demon Clan. Isn't it very close to this
As a result, Xu Yi's interest in this abyssal demon clan became even more intense.
It happened that Elder Undini also provided Xu Yi with news that surprised him at this time - the elves actually knew about the ruins left by the abyssal demons!
According to Elder Undine's explanation, the elves appeared on this continent more than 10,000 years ago, but after their appearance, they were enslaved by the abyss demons. Help them do the lowest level physical work.
After the Doomsday War, when the participating Abyss Demons decided to leave this continent that was not suitable for them to live, they also asked the elves to help them build the portal, so the ancestors of the elves left some records.
However, most of these records were passed down by word of mouth and are not very accurate.
However, some of them are certain, because the descriptions in all recorded legends are very close.
in this part of the content. Most of them are descriptions of the Abyss Demons when they left this world.
Among these descriptions, the most important thing is that the ancestors of the elves actually left the location of the portal of the abyssal demons.
After spending some time researching this matter with Elder Undini, Xu Yi roughly determined the location of the portal through which the Abyss Demons originally left this world - near the sea area where Sky Island is located.
Akali originally chose Space Island as the address for her overseas research base. In addition to the fact that this location is indeed suitable as the location for the first high-altitude suspended magic signal beacon, a large part of the reason was Xu Yi's private request.
Xu Yi did not explain to Akali why he did this before, but when Xu Yi explained to Akali six days ago about the "Abyss Demon Tribe", he told her everything.
Akali is originally a person who likes adventure and pursuing new things. After learning about such a novel thing, she naturally followed her closely.
"There is nothing to explain." Elder Undini shook his head. "The Abyss Demon Tribe has been away from this world for tens of thousands of years. Even if there is any mechanism, it must have been ineffective by now. Of course, it is never wrong for everyone to be careful."
"Well, that's it." Xu Yi thought for a while and found that there was nothing to add, so he waved his hand. "Let's go, but remember to follow my previous instructions and be careful."
The group of people responded in unison and formed a small team to carefully leave the magic airship.
At the front of the team are two elven warriors and two magicians from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. With the super sensing ability of the elves and the sensitivity of human magicians to the environment, even if there is any accident, they can react immediately. , and can also detect some abnormal conditions in advance.
Xu Yi and Elder Undini, the most powerful people in the team, also concentrated their energy and controlled the surrounding magic space in their own induction. If anything happened, they would react immediately.
However, it turned out that they were a little too cautious.
From the edge of the beach where the magic airship was located to where the big trees were in the center of the island, the team encountered no accidents at all, not to mention any danger, except for encountering some eyeless beasts.
Of course, if it was really that dangerous, the team sent to explore before would not be able to find the ruins so easily.
After a while, everyone arrived safely under those particularly thick trees.
Xu Yi saw at a glance that there was an open space under the big trees that was obviously beneficial to the surrounding environment.
The open space is square in shape, and is all paved with some kind of special stone. It completely isolates the lawn next to it, making it look extremely awkward at first glance.
And in this stone clearing, which was about the size of a basketball court, stood a thick pillar.
This pillar is even thicker than the big tree next to it that requires two people to surround it. The texture on the surface looks a bit like stone, but also a bit like metal. It's hard to tell at a glance.
The surface of the pillar is extremely smooth and has no gaps. It looks like it is made by man.
This pillar is about ten meters high. The top is a round ball with an unusually standard shape. The material is slightly different from the pillar, and the color is closer to metal.
But other than that, there is nothing special about this bead.
"Elder Undini, do you know what this is?" Xu Yi asked.
Elder Undine shook his head: "I don't know. The records handed down only say that there are ruins here, but there are no more descriptions. I guess... the ancestors of the elves at that time did not know what these things were for. , and the specific principles.”
Xu Yi nodded in agreement.
The ancestors of the elves who lived tens of thousands of years ago had just appeared on this continent, and had always been used as hard work by the Abyss Demon Clan. Naturally, they did not know much about the civilization of the Abyss Demon Clan. It is natural that they did not know these. .
"There isn't even a single magic line on it. What is it for?" Akali patted the pillar, but it didn't move at all.
"The things used by the Abyss Demon Clan may not be magic." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. Then his heart moved, but he walked to the pillar and slapped it.
Akali rolled her eyes at him: "You said that the abyss demons don't use magic, but you still use magic detection. Don't you think you are deceiving yourself?"
Xu Yi smiled: "That's not necessarily the case."
The magic power in his body moved and began to condense the magic elements in the surrounding magic space into the pillar.
Although the technology used by the Abyss Demons may have nothing to do with magic, no matter what, it is just a use of energy.
Magic happens to be a relatively special way of using energy, and its biggest feature is that it is very flexible.
Of course Xu Yi didn't know the original function of this pillar, but there was still hope if it could be detected using magic. (~^~)
