Chapter 1626: Changes and Doubts
Without any warning, Lei Xiao felt the light around him suddenly dim, and it was a little difficult for him to adapt.
Confused, Lei Xiao subconsciously looked out the window beside him, and was surprised to notice that the sky, which was sunny just now, was now dotted with stars, and two full moons were hanging high in the sky.
"It's getting dark so soon? We've only been in the barrier area for an hour or two, so it should still be morning outside."
"Besides, even if it was dark, it shouldn't have happened so suddenly. There wasn't even any dusk process at all. It was as if someone suddenly covered the sky with a black curtain."
"Could it be that the sky in this enchantment area is not a reflection of the outside world, but has its own set of operating rules?"
Just when Lei Xiao was puzzled, the light elves around him had already skillfully taken out the light crystals and turned on the magic lamps, so that the house was soon brightly lit again.
"Haha, happy times are always short-lived. I didn't expect that dinner time would come so soon."
The elf village chief stroked his beard and smiled, saying kindly, "Fortunately, the food at the welcome banquet is still warm and can be used as dinner. Your Majesty and the other distinguished guests, please feel free to eat."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Village Chief. We are not hungry yet."
Before Lei Xiao finished his rebuttal, he suddenly heard a chewing sound nearby.
Following the sound, I saw Jasmine holding a plate of vegetable cakes and eating them with relish, looking very happy.
Not only that, our other strong men, who had just looked a little wary and puzzled, have also picked up their plates and started eating without any scruples.
During this time, even Fei'er was gulping down the juice and even quickly got another refill.
"After receiving the blessing of the container, Fei'er is indeed equivalent to a normal strong person. But in such an incongruous and unclear environment, with her mind and caution, how could she do such a thing?"
Lei Xiao frowned, and a sense of solemnity began to rise in his heart.
"My Lord, what happened to them?"
Xuanji's doubtful voice sounded, and she moved closer to Lei Xiao.
Not only Xuan Ji, but Xiao Jie and Xiao Jing, who had also been following Lei Xiao, also came closer, still with a wary look on their faces.
"It must be related to the sudden darkness. They all seem to have been bewitched in some way."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and spoke to the three stone elves through telepathic communication.
It seems that at present, only myself and the stone elves are normal. But if the strong ones have been bewitched in some way, why are I and the stone elves not affected?
Combined with the previous series of questions, we have to say that the current situation is becoming more and more incredible.
With a sudden sense of awe in his heart, Lei Xiao immediately tried to communicate with the powerful men under his command who were feasting on the food. However, no matter what he said or thought, the powerful men turned a deaf ear to him. It seemed that the only thing in their eyes was the food in front of them, and they were unable to communicate at all.
"Your Majesty, it seems that everyone has adapted to this place."
Anna brought over another plate of vegetable cakes and said with an expectant smile, "Your Majesty, please try some."
After Anna finished speaking, the other light elves all smiled, even the elf village chief was the same this time, with an expression of great anticipation.
For a moment, the smiles of the light elves became more bizarre and unpredictable, even giving people a sense of weird uniformity, as if they were all being controlled by some kind of existence.
"Could it be that the unknown entity sealed in the forbidden land has secretly bewitched everyone? Before we arrived, it had already controlled the entire light elf village, and now it has begun to attack us."
"If I think about it this way, it can indeed explain the strange behavior of these light elves and the current situation. But if that is the case, then why haven't the stone elves and I been bewitched at all?"
Lei Xiao looked at Anna, who was smiling in front of him, and frowned tightly.
Or maybe, these light elves were not controlled at all, but they used some means to bewitch the strong men under their command.
"Everything must be figured out as soon as possible. I don't have much time left."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao decisively pushed away the plate handed to him by Anna, frowned and said: "You don't think you can do whatever you want like this, right?"
As Lei Xiao's voice fell, Xiao Jie's expression changed, and an absolute confinement barrier immediately rose up in the room.
Although Lei Xiao couldn't be sure whether these light elves were bewitched or were the mastermind behind the scenes, he couldn't care less now and could only capture them first.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
The crisp sounds of plates breaking and cutlery falling to the ground were heard. After being weighed down by the confinement barrier, all the light elves present fell to the ground with looks of extreme shock on their faces.
As for our strong men, their attention was still focused on the food in front of them, as stiff and dull as puppets.
Lei Xiao did not reply. He flew out with the three stone elves and headed straight towards the forbidden area of the village.
That must be the root of everything. Although he only has the stone elves by his side at present, after a series of comprehensive upgrades in the past few days, his foundation is far beyond what it was before. Even if he meets a real demigod, he will be able to fight.
After leaving the house, Lei Xiao sped all the way through the dark village. In almost the blink of an eye, he arrived at the center of the village, which was the location of the forbidden land.
However, when Lei Xiao stopped, a look of confusion and surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
There was nothing in sight. The huge pure white temple building had disappeared long ago, as if it had never appeared.
"My Lord, how could this happen?"
Xuanji opened her eyes wide and couldn't help but look at Xiaojing and Xiaojie in surprise.
All of this was undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations.
"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better for you to just stay here peacefully and keep everyone company?"
A crisp voice came from behind Lei Xiao. Looking in the direction of the voice, Anna and a group of light elf villagers had appeared behind him at some point.
Anna took a step forward with an eager look on her face and continued, "The outside world is too dangerous. Your Majesty and the others should stay here. There are no disputes or wars here. Isn't such a stable and peaceful life what many people dream of?"
"This is indeed what many people dream of, and it is also what I aspire to do, but I am neither qualified nor able to do so now."
Lei Xiao's face was calm and his voice was firm as iron.
"What if we must keep you here?"
A gloomy look appeared on the old face of the elf village chief, and his tone gradually became lower. (End of this chapter)
