Hearing Ye Li's words, Ye Wujin and the three elders were stunned, and looked at each other. Ye Wujin said: "Ye Li, are you saying that this attack is also a beast tide, but it doesn't look like it.
Generally, the outbreak of beast tides is related to the number of monsters in the Monster Mountain Range. When the number of monsters is too large and the territory of the Monster Mountain Range is not enough for them to live in, the high-level monsters will drive out the relatively low-level monsters to attack human towns.
The purpose of doing this, in addition to self-consumption, is also to test the strength of the surrounding humans. If humans perform too weak, the monsters will expand their territory into the human world.
The current situation here is obviously not a beast tide, because the current situation is completely different from the beast tide."
Ye Wujin spoke up.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Yes, this is definitely not a beast tide, but if we follow the standard you just mentioned, was the situation we encountered outside the Rune Secret Land last time really a beast tide, or was it just a wave of monsters attacking in a similar way to the situation here?"
Ye Li’s words stunned Ye Wujin.
He thought about it carefully and felt that Ye Li’s question was not unreasonable.
During the last beast tide, many people in the family also expressed doubts, because the scale of that beast tide was too small and the outbreak area was too strange.
Now that Ye Li said this, these two things that seemed to have little in common suddenly seemed to become more and more similar.
If this is not a cave but a valley, then the mixed attacks of these monsters seem to really overlap with the previous incident.
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Third Grandfather, three elders, I actually feel something different about what happened last time.
You all know that I went out to explore the world for a year, and by chance, I learned that there was a mysterious organization in the world that was very good at using soul-walking spells.
From the fragmentary intelligence I have obtained, they have been instigating a war, and it seems that they need to gather and kill a large number of Talisman Masters.
I don't know why they did this. I have too little information, but I feel that the last beast tide incident was more or less related to them."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ye Wujin showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked, "What do you mean? Why do you think the last incident is related to this mysterious organization that is proficient in soul-moving spells?"
Ye Li said: "Because I have awakened the Soul-Walking Talisman Root, during the last beast tide, I was able to see the Soul-Walking Power being released from the bodies of those monster beasts after they died.
I know this is a sign that they were once possessed by the power of soul travel."
When Ye Li was attacked by monsters outside the rune secret land, he had not yet activated the soul-walking talisman root, but he could indeed see the power of soul-walking. He guessed it was because his natal talisman was too special.
However, he did not tell Ye Wujin and the others about these things. He only attributed the reason why he could see the power of soul to the fact that he had mastered and awakened the root of soul-walking talisman.
After hearing Ye Li's words, Ye Wujin's expression became extremely shocked. Firstly, it was because he was surprised that Ye Li had awakened the Soul-Walking Talisman Root. Secondly, what Ye Li said was really too shocking.
"Ye Li, so what you mean is that the last beast tide was manipulated and launched by that mysterious organization
But last time, although each of our families suffered casualties, the actual number of casualties was not large. It doesn't seem like a premeditated killing.
But what you said about being able to see the power of soul in dead monsters is doubtful.
So what you mean now is that the situation here this time is the same as last time, and someone used the Soul Walking Spell to control these monsters and gather them here to hunt down all those who enter the maze?"
Ye Li hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about this, but if we encounter monsters and kill them and find that they really have the power of soul movement, then my guess may be true."
Ye Wujin and the three elders looked at each other. The expressions of the four of them were a little serious. After all, they knew that Ye Li would not lie to them about these things.
As people who have lived for most of their lives, they can naturally judge the rationality of some of the things Ye Li just said based on their experience. This organization is likely to really exist and is manipulating some events behind the scenes.
"If someone is really plotting everything in secret, then both us and the hunting team may be in danger. Our current situation is that we have fallen into someone else's trap."
Ye Wujin spoke up.
The expression on Ye Li's face also became serious. If this maze cave was a pocket for the Earth Scale Monster, then it was also a pocket for everyone who entered here.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is not certain whether there is an Earth Scale Monster here. If the original news was false and a lie fabricated by someone with ulterior motives, then all of them have fallen into someone else's trap.
"It's impossible for us to retreat now. We have to find the hunting team and inform them. We don't know what their current situation is.
There are three forks in the road, and we can only choose one to enter. We don’t know whether we can find them under the cave.”
Ye Wujin frowned and looked at the three roads, finally choosing a fork that looked wider and walked in.
In order to prevent themselves from getting lost, the three elders sprinkled a special powder called tracking powder on the ground along the way. Once the crystal lamp light shone on it, the powder would emit star-like crystal light, allowing them to return along the original route.
After entering the fork in the road, the five people hurried forward. Not long after they walked, the road in front of them suddenly became open.
A huge cave hall appeared in front of the cave passage.
The five people were slightly stunned when the surrounding environment changed, and then immediately looked around with the light of the crystal lamp.
The illumination range of the crystal lamp was not very large, so the five people had to stand a little further away to expand the range of the light so that they could see the surrounding environment clearly.
As the light spread, Ye Li finally saw the surrounding situation clearly. From the top of the cave hall to the surrounding walls, there were huge black tumor-like objects hanging everywhere.
These things looked like the eggs of some monster, and they were shrinking gently.
These eggs seemed to react to the light. When the crystal lamp shone on them, their contraction began to intensify, and bursts of rustling noises came from the flesh membrane.
