Seeing that everyone fell into a new round of thinking, Yang Chen felt that he was a little redundant.

He wasn't originally from this world, and until now, he had only been in the other world for a few months.

There are many things that he doesn't know very well. Not to mention the post-apocalyptic thugs that Ciri mentioned earlier, even the Dark Council, which seems to be very well-known, doesn't know about it.

Dark wizards, night elves......

The combination of the two is a bit strange, although they both belong to the dark camp, the elves are arrogant by nature, and it is impossible for them to be in the company of notorious wizards.

But after everyone's investigation, it was indeed found that the two were covering each other and covering up, and it was obvious that the plot was very big.

And......

Yang Chen glanced at the boss with his eyes glaring, his pupils dilated, and Old John, who had been dead for a long time.

I couldn't help but wonder why the food guards had disappeared into the wilderness, and only Old John had been able to return to the village last night.

If he was behind the scenes, he would never let Old John go, even if he was spelled and would die soon......

Yang Chen walked out of the door gently, leaning against the wall and falling into deep thought.

So, why wasn't Old John killed on the spot?

If he was that wizard, what would he do? These are the two questions that Yang Chen needs to think about first!

......

In a realm full of fire, more than a dozen humans stood in the air, their faces full of seriousness.

It's been more than ten days since the fire elemental invasion, but the healing of the rift is still very slow.

There is a magic array blocking the sea of fire, but if there is no way to seal or heal the rift with the fire element plane, then sooner or later this small world will also become a part of the fire element plane!

Although Brooke and the Dean of the Magic Academy, Blisso, were both Sunrise-level powerhouses, they still had no good way to plug the rift in the face of the continuous energy supply of the entire Fire Elemental Plane.

At present, there are only two ways to close the space crack.

The first is to completely suppress the sea of fire, so that the earth, fire, feng and shui elements inside the small world can be rebalanced, and with the help of the natural healing ability of the small world, the spatial cracks will be closed.

The other is to find a way to cross the sea of fire and build a seal directly at the rift, artificially sealing the passage between the small world and the fire elemental plane.

Either way, it's very difficult!

Comparatively speaking, the second one is more feasible, but the risk is not small, after all, the seal crack will expose the breath, if the opposite side is in a remote place and no elemental creatures notice it, but there have been elemental teams that have crossed the crack and invaded the small world before, indicating that no matter how bad it is on the opposite side of the spatial rift, it is also in a place where elemental creatures are more active.

In this way, the seal is easily exposed, and can be easily torn by the opposing elemental creature.

But now, in its current form, it is extremely difficult to suppress the sea of fire and automatically heal the spatial rift with the help of the power of the small world.

Just like Blisso said before, unless there is an Ori-level ice powerhouse, plus the cooperation of the rest of the sky ice system, there is a little possibility.

"How's Richie's injury?" Brooke asked, his tone flat and unrecognizable, and his face flushed from the sea of fire in the distance, and it was hard to tell what he really thought.

"I'm not in a coma, but I'm still ......in a coma," Chris responded.

"Comatose?" Brooke frowned, exhaled slightly, and snorted coldly, "Let him be blind......!" How's that Amber from the Monster Forest doing?"

"The performance was good...... It's very well-behaved. Saying this, Chris couldn't help but smile, "It's like a docile kitten......"

"Kitten?" Brooke couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like this amber can bend and stretch too......"

Chris didn't know what to say, he remembered the scene when Richie first came with Amber, and Brooke forced Amber with Ori.

Can you bend and stretch? Oh, forced!

"Let him rest for a while, and then come back......," Brooke commanded, "we can't delay it any longer, we have to find a way to temporarily cut off the energy supply to the fire elemental plane...... Otherwise, it will be difficult!"

As he spoke, Brooke cast his gaze into the depths of the sea of fire, where there was a steady stream of fire elemental power reaching this world through the spatial rift!

"Okay......" Chris nodded, also looking at the sea of fire with a solemn face.

......

Yang Chenxiri gathered together again and strolled through the streets of Xipo Village.

Because the information was too scarce, Ciri and the others couldn't figure out which force the wizards and night elves came from after discussing for a long time.

And Yang Chen didn't have the slightest clue, and everyone decided to contact the Lord of Luoda and Glade, and asked them to send someone over and search for the anomalies nearby.

Since the grain collection team was killed near Xipo Village, there must be something wrong nearby.

"Heh, I found that we seem to be inexplicably involved in this incident......" Yang Chen said with a wry smile.

"yes...... I didn't expect ...... either," Ciri was also very helpless, "Obviously our purpose is to find a way to solve the locust plague in the Midwest......"

"Wait......" Yang Chen seemed to think of something......

"What's wrong?" asked Ciri, puzzled.

"You repeat the above sentence......" Yang Chen's face was a little solemn.

"We were supposed to deal with the locust plague in the Midwest...... What's the problem?" Ciri stared at Yang Chen and frowned.

Yang Chen touched his chin with his hand and reminded, "Do you remember the purpose of the Solon family's grain collection team coming here in the first place?"

"Harvest the grain!" said Ciri.

"......" Yang Chen was a little weak, and reminded again, "Why do you want to collect grain......

"Because ......," Ciri recalls the statement of the butler of the House Solon, "...... Locusts?"

Ciri's face was full of shock!

He muttered, "Locust...... There is a locust plague in the central and western regions, and here, locusts have also appeared in Xipo Village......"

Yang Chen saw that Xili finally remembered, his face was also a little bad, and he said seriously, "This is definitely not a coincidence! As far as I know, the reason for the appearance of locusts is often because of the climate! In the central and western regions, there has been no rain for one or two months in a row, and in addition, there is no timely prevention, so it is normal for locusts to appear." However, the village of Sipo is to the west of the city of Kree, closer to the city of Cecil. The city of Cecil had abundant precipitation in the past few days, and there was no sign of drought at all. Locusts shouldn't show up!"

"Could it be that the Midwest is spreading over the ......" Ciri also thought about the seriousness of the problem for a moment, but she still didn't dare to think deeply......

"Impossible!" Yang Chen said categorically, "Let's not talk about how far the Midwestern Plains are from here, let's just say that there is a big mountain in the middle, and it is not easy for locusts to come over." Moreover, if it is a locust flying from the central and western regions, then the cities and villages along the way should be covered by locusts, and until now, we have only heard of signs of locusts in Xipo Village!"

"What do you mean...... Is the appearance of locust larvae in Xipo Village artificial?" Ciri said in a tone that was already unconsciously convinced.

Yang Chen shook his head and said seriously, "No! I don't just suspect the ...... of Xipo Village."

Yang Chen paused, his face was a little not very good, and said to Xili, "I still doubt it...... Locust plague on the Midwestern Plains...... It could be man-made!"

Rumble!

Ciri's eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

If the locust plague in the Midwest was also planned by people, then this dark force hidden in the depths is a little too terrifying......

"But do you have any proof?" asked Ciri, still not believing that the disaster was deliberately caused.

"Evidence, I didn't ......" Yang Chen twisted his head and looked in the direction of Cecil City, "But I know that if the villagers of Xipo Village didn't care about it this time and notified the Solon family as soon as possible, then the next round of new locust plagues will inevitably use Cree City as a flashpoint, thus affecting the eastern region of Guangda, including Cecil City!"

Ciri was silent, she used to be the commander of the Feather Guard, so she naturally knew the importance of food and grass.

And she also knew that the warehouse on the outskirts of Cecil couldn't hold the residents of the city for too long!

When the time comes, the central and western grain-producing areas will fall, and the eastern plains will fall, and it is really unknown what will become of the entire Nonan.

Thinking of this, Ciri's face also changed, according to the geographical location, Keri City, Xipo Village is really a very good place to drop locusts!

As long as the operation is better, then the Government Affairs Department and the City Lord's Mansion will not be able to react at all!

When the Noonan government office had just dispatched food to support the Midwest, who knew that the most critical administrative center, Cecil City, would fall in the next second?

If it's a coincidence, it's fine, but if someone really makes a ghost, it's really terrifying, this is to completely subvert the rhythm of Nonan!

"Not good!" Yang Chen seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly changed greatly!

"What's wrong again?" said Ciri, startled, and patted her chest.

"I've been thinking about a question before......" Yang Chen said to Xili as he walked forward quickly.

"What's the problem?"

"Why didn't that wizard just kill Old John on the spot, but let him go back to the village! Aren't you afraid that Old John will reveal something?"

"So...... Why?" Ciri couldn't figure it out, looking at Yang Chen's eyes full of doubts.

"Unless, unless the people behind the scenes don't care if Old John lives or dies! The reason why the wizard attacked the grain collection team in Xipo Village, and let the night elves assassinate Heroda, all of them did for one purpose!"

"For what purpose?"

"In order to divert attention!" Yang Chen's eyes were full of anxiety at this time.

"What, what kind of deflection?" Ciri was a little confused, didn't he say that the organization behind the wizards and night elves was going to do something in Kerry City?

"Why did you choose to be in the village of Sipo, why did you attack the grain collection team, why did you let old John go, why did you go to the trouble of assassinating Herodas? and...... Why do we have to do it when we are staying in the Solon family's manor?" Yang Chen instantly threw out a series of questions.

"This ...... Where do I know. "Ciri was a little devastated.

"These things are too coincidental, just like bait, just to attract us to stay in Xipo Village!" Yang Chen's face turned pale, "Before, we guessed that the other party would release the locust plague with Xipo Village as the center, but if we ...... Xipo Village is just a decoy, and the actual place to put it is somewhere else?"
