The dense forest is full of towering trees, and some even require dozens of people to surround the tree trunks. Countless vines hang down from the tree crowns and branches that block the sun. Some are thicker than human thighs, some are as thin as hair, some have lush leaves, and some are dead. The air was filled with the smell of moldy dead branches and leaves, as well as the smell of rotting animal carcasses, which made people frown.
This forest seems to be a cursed place, with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere everywhere.
Semu Shi flew in the forest, his old and small body very flexible. Xia Lei ran on the ground, observing the surrounding environment with his clairvoyance and keen hearing. But apart from some wild beasts and birds, he didn't find anything suspicious or valuable.
"Old patriarch, where are you going to take me?" Xia Lei couldn't help but asked out of curiosity after running for an unknown distance.
"We're almost there. Just go a little further and we'll be there." Semushi said, but he still didn't say what kind of place he was going to.
Xia Lei didn't ask any more questions, and speeded up his feet. His feet leaped over the rotting branches and leaves. One step was dozens of meters, and the next step was dozens of meters again, as fast as the wind.
Se Mushi also accelerated his flight speed, and his small body left a colorful afterimage in the forest. But even so, it was still difficult for him to keep the distance between him and Xia Lei.
In fact, Xia Lei deliberately let him go, otherwise his small wings would not be able to move faster than his legs.
After a while, a distance of almost ten kilometers passed.
"Your Majesty the Dragon King, we are here, right in front." Said Mushi.
Xia Lei looked through a row of towering trees and saw a clearing in the forest. There was no Eldar spaceship as imagined in that clearing, and there were no ancient buildings or rock statues. It was just an open space covered with dead branches and leaves.
However, after entering the clearing, Xia Lei discovered that this forest clearing was unusual. Right under his feet, he sensed a very powerful energy field. This energy field is somewhat similar to the energy field produced by the blood crystal mine in the northwest mining area of Ash City, and has the characteristics of nurturing life.
Is there a blood crystal mine under this open space
Xia Lei couldn't help but guess this, but he quickly rejected this guess, because in addition to the life-nurturing energy released by the blood crystal mine, he also sensed some other energies, which were very mysterious. He tried to analyze them, but to no avail. .
Se Mushi fell from the sky and knelt on the ground to dig open the dead branches and leaves on the ground with his hands.
"Old patriarch, let me do it." Xia Lei said.
Se Mushi nodded, then returned to the air.
Xia Lei gathered a ball of natural energy, rotated it, and then gently pushed it out. The high-speed rotating natural energy turned into a small tornado as soon as it hit the ground. It rotated rapidly, moved quickly, and rolled up the dead branches and leaves on the ground.
The dead branches and leaves in the forest clearing were sucked into the tornado. The tornado became bigger and bigger. There were fewer and fewer dead branches and leaves in the clearing, and finally they were exposed on the ground.
The floor of the glade emerged, a huge rock. It is embedded in the ground, parallel to the ground, and looks very flat. There are several pieces of blood crystal ore inlaid on the flat rock surface, six pieces in six directions, each piece is about the size of a fist and has different shapes.
There is a groove underneath each piece of blood crystal ore, and runes are engraved in the groove. Six grooves converged at the center of the rock, and the point of convergence was a hemispherical pit. The inner wall of the pit was also covered with runes. It is not difficult to judge that these six pieces of blood crystal ore can actually slide into the hemispherical pit in the middle of the rock. The six grooves on the rock surface are the sliding tracks.
The tornado disappeared and the dead branches fell somewhere else.
"This is the place." Semushi said, "We call it the Dinner of the Gods."
"God's Dinner?" Xia Lei asked curiously: "Why is it such a strange name? How can such a place be a forbidden area for your butterfly tribe?"
Semushi said: "Dear His Majesty the Dragon King, if you push six pieces of blood crystal ore into the depression in the middle of the rock, you will know why."
Xia Lei's eyes moved to one of the blood crystal ores, and he discovered that there were faint runes in the blood crystal ore. He then moved his gaze to the other five pieces of blood crystal ore. The situation was the same. Runes were also vaguely visible in the other five pieces of blood crystal ore. It was just because they were buried by rotting branches and leaves. It's covered in dust, it's hard to spot if you don't look carefully.
While Xia Lei was observing, Semu Shi landed from the air, knelt next to one of the blood crystal ores, crossed his arms, and said in a pious voice: "Six gods above, please forgive me for my offense and forgive me. sin…”
Xia Lei looked at Semu Shi with curious eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: "Six gods? Are the six gods he calls these six blood crystal ores? These six blood crystal ores seem to be able to form a whole, a hemispherical Whole. If it was once a spherical blood crystal ore, then half of it is missing, and where is the other half? If it is only a hemisphere, then who broke it into pieces and embedded it in this rock? "
A lot of questions popped up in his mind.
After Semushi finished praying, he suddenly pushed the blood crystal ore in front of him into the hemispherical depression in the center of the rock.
Wow…
The blood crystal ore rubbed against the inner wall of the groove, and with the crisp friction sound, the runes on the inner wall of the groove began to glow. Bloody energy radiance was released from one rune after another, and the entire groove was lit up. The scene was extremely magical.
Xia Lei also pushed the nearest piece of blood crystal ore Wang Yan into the pit in the middle, and the sliding groove of the blood crystal ore he pushed was also lit up.
Piece after piece of blood crystal ore was pushed into the pit in the middle of the rock. The sixth piece of blood crystal ore was pushed by Xia Lei. When he pushed the piece of blood crystal ore into the pit, the hemispherical pit was filled, and a piece of blood-colored energy light suddenly bloomed from the hemispherical blood crystal ore.
"Your Majesty the Dragon King, let's get out of here quickly!" Se Mushi suddenly said nervously. As he spoke, he waved his small wings and flew out of the rock range.
Xia Lei didn't know what would happen, but his reaction was very timely. When Semushi just flew out of the range of the rock, he also jumped out of the range of the rock.
boom!
A very obvious energy vibration occurred in the hemispherical blood crystal ore, and then one after another blood-colored images were released from the hemispherical blood crystal ore. Images of people, but also images of tables, cutlery, drinking utensils and food.
Seeing the image floating in the void, Xia Lei's head felt as if he had been hit hard by a hammer at that moment. After the violent vibration, there was a blank.
It was six Eldar enjoying dinner.
The reason why it is called dinner, not lunch or breakfast, is because there are candlesticks on the dining table, and candle-like lighting fixtures are lit on the candlesticks. Its existence gives the image of the dinner a somewhat romantic and aristocratic atmosphere.
Six Minling people, three men and three women. The men sit on the left side of the table and the men sit on the right side of the table. Men are on the left and women are on the right. This seems to be a habit in the society of the Spirit tribe.
These six Spirit Tribe people are all very young, but that judgment is based on their bodies and skin, not their facial features. In fact, none of these six Eldar people have faces, but the men's facial lines are stronger and the women's facial lines are softer.
There was no face, and there was the number "six". This was the reason why Xia Lei's mind went blank.
Without a face, Xia Lei almost uncontrollably thought of the images he saw in the silent desert. In the pool of blood that was like a mirror, he saw his own reflection. He had no face in the pool of blood.
And "six", he is very sensitive to this number.
The World Box has six sides.
He married six wives on the earth, he married six wives on the Star of Hope, and now although he has only married two in the dark world of death, Diao Chan is already determined, which means he already has three. Now that he has a wife, will he still marry three to make up the number six
It’s scary to think about it!
"Who are they? I have never seen a faceless Eldar. Axis is the royal family of the Eldar. He is known as the God of War. He should be the most powerful existence, but he also has a face. These six What are the identities of the Spirit Tribe people? Or...are they not Spirit Tribe people at all?" After a brief blank moment, Xia Lei's brain started to work, but he couldn't figure out the identities of these six faceless people despite exhausting his brain.
Suddenly, the voice of someone speaking came from the bloody image.
"I have calculated it countless times, and the result is the same. We will be destroyed. Our civilization, everything we have created, and ourselves." There is no face. This voice comes from a male body tissue.
Based on this sentence, Xia Lei determined that these six people were from the Spirit Tribe, because the language he used was the standard Spirit Tribe language.
A voice came from the body of a female Spirit Race person. Her voice was soft and sweet, "Everything in the universe has its own end. We have reached our end. This is destined. The ultimate law of the universe is destruction. There is no way." avoid."
The woman's words caused some discussion.
"This is a road, and we have reached the end of the road. I have seen the other side of the end, which is eternal darkness. Darkness is the destination of all things in the universe." Another male Eldar said.
"It's a summary and a beginning." Another female Eldar said.
"In the new beginning, a new race and civilization will be born that will dominate all things, but that is no longer us." said the first male Eldar to speak.
"I am not willing to accept it, but we cannot avoid the ultimate law of the universe coming to our heads." The third female Eldar said.
The discussion went on like this.
Xia Lei's eyes suddenly moved to the male Spirit Tribe at the end of the dining table. He was curious, "Why doesn't he speak?"
