The wind was howling, the torrential rain was still unstoppable, and all sides were plunged into a drowsy darkness. Only the occasional flash of lightning can make you see the surroundings clearly. At present, Maribel obviously has lost her previous composure, she frowned, and flew quickly forward. Soon, through the rain curtain, Rhodes saw a huge stone gate standing above a plain.

That was the Gate of Akaxia.

Judging from the scattered items around the Akaxia Gate, it was clear that it had been heavily guarded, but strangely, there was no one here, no corpses, and no blood. Except for the overturned tents and other supplies, there was no sign of half a living person. Five tall stone pillars surround the perimeter of the Gate of Akaxia, and the dazzling magic crystals on them emit a bright light, forming a circular barrier. It can be seen that they have indeed made all preparations, although there is no threat here, Maribel and the others still activated the guardian barrier to protect this important facility. And Rhodes also knew from the previous footage that Maribel also consulted with four other people to send the most elite members to guard this place, which can almost be said to be absolutely foolproof.

But what about now?

Maribel stepped forward slowly, and Rhodes followed her, carefully surveying everything in front of her. He is not a fool, it is heavily guarded, there are enchantments, sentry posts, and a lot of elite soldiers from the Five Dragons of Creation. Rhodes didn't believe that dinosaur-like monsters that couldn't stop even a little bubblegum or a canary could quietly destroy them. You must know that Maribel received a report that the outside patrol was under siege, which means that the team guarding the center of the gate was completely wiped out without making the slightest sound. Then, when the other side began to expand outward, they encountered the patrol on the periphery -- I have to admit that Maribel was indeed cautious, and the layers of defense she designed did work. But this is even more confusing, because Rod doesn't think so. The monsters that attacked the patrol before were the ones who wiped out the core garrison, otherwise, it would be impossible for the outer patrol to support Maribel and wipe them all out.

At this moment, Rod is also very nervous, he is eager to get a clear answer, what is it! It was a landslide victory to wipe out the garrisons outside the gates of Accasia. Don't even have time to give the other person an alarm signal? No, Rhodes even wondered if these people were aware of the attack.

Just as Rhodes was thinking, he saw Maribel slowly walk to the junction, then stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly on the barrier, and soon, circles of runes emerged from it, and then staggered. Then Marybel raised a frown. Lowering her arm, although she didn't say anything, Rhodes could see that everything seemed to be normal with the enchantment, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Marybell spent several hours carefully inspecting the entire camp inside and out, and Rhodes surveyed the entire camp with her. The result was the same as before, without any traces of the battle. Everything was normal in the camp, and the only thing missing was the more than 100 people stationed here. Besides. There is nothing strange about it.

And during the time that Maribel was investigating, no one came to attack her, and the whole camp was silent, as if there was no one here in the first place. As a result, Maribel's investigation was not hindered in any way, but Maribel's face was not good until she left after the investigation. Her complexion could hardly be said to be bad, but the yin was darkened.

And Rod naturally understands why Maribel has such an expression. To tell the truth, he, like Maribel, would rather be attacked by the other party during his investigation, and maybe the situation would be critical. Maybe the enemy will be dangerous, or maybe your life will be threatened. But at least as long as you can meet the other party, even if you are injured or threatened with your life, you can know what kind of enemy you are facing. Then as long as you can escape back, you will have a chance to start over.

But Maribel didn't get any attack, so it only shows that those "enemies" have a high IQ, they are not stupid, they know how good Maribel is. They are also reluctant to expose themselves, and apparently they know that it would be very unwise to expose themselves to their enemies.

Such enemies are the most difficult to deal with, they have strength, measure, and they are not stupid. What's more, neither Marybell nor Rhodes knew from which crack in the stone they came from. They don't even know if it's a deeply hidden native creature or something else. Even Rod himself was a little uncertain at this time, and he began to recall the information he had seen in the street tabloids about extraterrestrial visitors or super-ancient civilizations, because even Rod himself was not sure if this earth was still the one he remembered. Is it really like what is written in the street tabloids, in fact, there is a super-developed ancient underground civilization under the earth, and then because of the appearance of Marybell and others, they came to show their presence? Or did some extraterrestrial civilization such as the Martians plan to immigrate to Earth, but the two sides fought for territory? That's interesting, another civilization vs. UFO, it's really cool.........

Although Rod opened his mind to filter all the possibilities, he still did not find any evidence to prove his guess, and this feeling of being blind at both ends was very uncomfortable. Rhodes had never encountered such a thing in the Dragon Soul Continent, after all, he was very familiar with it, and he knew everything about the hidden, disappeared, existing, and non-existent Rhodes. But now, in such a complex environment, it is difficult for Rhodes to figure out who is behind it all and what is the source. So he also frowned as much as Maribel, and was puzzled.

Soon, the scene changes again, Maribel returns to the temple, she sends someone to investigate, fortunately, except for the elite who remained in the middle of the ground who have disappeared, everyone else is there, of course, several other patrols are attacked, but in the end the monsters escape.

And the other four places quickly responded, as the Gates of Akaxia were the core representatives of the five regions. Therefore, each of the five delegates sent a team of people to unite to protect the place. Because of this, it didn't take long for the response from other places to come quickly. Among them, the dragon of light and the twin dragons are not a big problem, and they are the same as Maribel's side, although they have been besieged by those monsters, they have not suffered much damage. And after the arrival of the rescue team. The monsters either fled or scattered, and they didn't pose much of a threat.

However, only the Dark Dragon's side represented a completely different situation, and even the members of the patrol team on the third floor of the inner part of the country had completely disappeared. If it weren't for the patrol team that handed over later and found out that they couldn't find anyone and reported it, I'm afraid that the Dark Dragon wouldn't have received any news until dawn!

Soon, the seriousness of the incident caught everyone's attention, and at Maribel's call, the representatives of the Five Dragons of Creation immediately gathered at the Gate of Accasia, and after conducting an examination of the Gate of Accasia, they also reported their respective problems. Everyone is the elite of the elite, and they don't drag their feet, so they soon discovered several suspicious points.

The first point is that all the troops of the Five Dragons of Creation stationed at the Gate of Akasha have disappeared without the slightest warning or alarm. This is very abnormal, because the subordinates of the Five Dragons of Creation have their own unique means of contacting these people. For example, on the Dark Dragon's side, its subordinates have the soul core of all the undead creatures in their hands. If the undead are attacked. Then it will definitely get the news in the first place. The same is true for the twin dragons, where the older sister of a pair of twin elves is stationed. The two sisters are also telepathic, and if the older sister encounters any threat, the younger sister will know immediately. But in this case, don't say that there is no fluctuation on the undead side. Even the two sisters were the same, if it weren't for the fact that the elf sister used soul fluctuations to contact her sister after hearing that something was not good, and found that she couldn't be contacted, she couldn't believe that her sister had disappeared like this!

The second point. It's the undead that suffer the most losses, and logically speaking, the undead are the ones who don't deserve to suffer the most. Because they are not the living, ordinary people simply cannot destroy them. Even if you are attacked, it is impossible not to escape even half of the messenger. But the truth is that the undead disappear the most. That's almost as good as the other four combined! Luckily, however, most of them were converted undead soldiers, so they weren't too nerve-wracking. But for the Dark Dragon's side, things have also become urgent.

In fact, it would be good if Alice was here at this time, as long as the demon god of history goes back in history, then there is nothing to be afraid of, but unfortunately, this time Alice is not here, so everyone discussed for a long time, and still did not come to any conclusion. However, they decided to strengthen their vigilance from today, and the five representatives of the Creation Dragon Soul, including Maribel, took turns to personally guard the Gate of Akaxia to see what was going on.

After this time, Marybell issued an order that the people should not leave the center of the temple or go to the unfamiliar areas. That's the story behind the mural -- but that's about it.

After that, the picture fast-forwards again, and nothing seems to have changed, at least in Rod's eyes, everything is fine on Marybell's side. But soon, he sensed a new problem, that is, a conflict between Maribel and the other four dragons of creation.

As the full head of the plan, Maribel suggested that the opening of the Akasia's Gate be postponed, and to make sure nothing went wrong, she suggested that the previous disappearances should be investigated before making a decision. Although it is said that the opening of the gates of Acacia is to wait for its weakest period, after all, there is a cycle -- every 300 years.

Three hundred years is almost nothing for demon gods, angels, elves, and undead creatures.

But not everyone agreed with Maribel's plan.

The representative of the Land of Light agreed with Maribel's idea, and it was clear that the angels were also worried that these strange things were most likely not an accident, but a precursor to some kind of uneasiness. If the passage to the Gate of Accasia were opened in such a situation, then no one knows what will happen. Not to mention that the threat of chaos is still being suffered from over there, and if something difficult to deal with here enters the passage -- when the time comes, it will definitely not be an optimistic prospect.

But the dark dragons were adamantly opposed, and they had good reasons. It is precisely because the situation is unclear now that it is necessary to open the channel as soon as possible. As long as the Five Dragons of Creation can come here, then those problems will no longer be a problem.

The representatives of the twin dragons, on the other hand, have no opinion, they are the same as their masters, it depends on which of the two sides can convince the other, and then they support whom.

However, in the end, the meeting ended in nothing, because Marybell and the representatives of the Dark Dragon had a point. And the proposals of both sides actually have their shortcomings. Maribel's idea was sound, but if the matter was beyond their reach, then the best thing to do was to leave it to the Dragon of Creation. However, the proposal of the representative of the Dark Dragon is also problematic, because no one is sure what will happen after opening the Gate of Akasia, and if those strange enemies enter the Gate of Akaxia first and then go to the Dragon Soul Continent, then the so-called retreat is basically a dead letter.

However, Rhodes could see that Maribel had clearly expected this, and she would rather not open the Akaxia Gate, even if she was completely destroyed. All of them were sacrificed here, and she didn't want to let that inexplicable threat plague the Dragon Soul Continent, unless she could personally determine what it was. Until now, Rhodes didn't know if Maribel's choice was right or wrong. After all, if they had opened the gate of Akaxia at that time, I am afraid that there would be no such thing as a native civilization on the earth.........

As the days passed, scenes flashed in front of Rhodes, and he still did not find any useful clues, although Maribel went to investigate more than once. But what happened that night around the Akaxia Gate still didn't make any progress, as did the elite soldiers who had vanished. It was as if it had completely disappeared into this world.

But instead of being reassured, Maribel became more and more worried. She always felt that this calm was a harbinger of some kind of impending danger, so she raised her vigilance and even began to prohibit the patrol from the temple.

And the danger broke out without warning.

Just as the fifty-day countdown to activating the Gate of Acaccia was about to begin, Maribel received news that the camp of the Dark Dragon's representative had completely lost contact!

The news shocked everyone.

This time. Even the representatives of the twin dragons began to seriously discuss whether it was time to open the door to Akasia. Because the other four representatives of the Creation Five Dragons are all about the same strength, only Maribel is the strongest. And right now, the representative of the Dark Dragon has silently lost the message, which also makes them more vigilant.

This time, Marybell, on the other hand, quickly gave the order. She asks the others to all move to the Void Sanctuary just in case, while asking the other three to go with her to the Dark Dragon's camp to investigate. This time the other three representatives did not hesitate, and they quickly executed Maribel's brightness, transferring everyone else to the Void Sanctuary. Fortunately, because the number of people who came this time was not very expensive, the Void Temple was still able to hold so many people.

And this time, the situation became very urgent.

Soon, the light flashed before Rod's eyes again, and the next moment, he found himself standing in a huge conference hall. In the center, Marybell and the other three were talking violently. Two of them were white elves in robes, and it was obvious that they were the subordinates of the twin dragons. On the other side, there was a war angel wearing battle armor, and at this moment she also had a serious expression and listened carefully to the words of both sides.

"I think we may have to change our plans, and now that we're not helped by the Dark Dragon, I think we're probably going to have to face an enemy we've never faced before, and we can't be too careful with that enemy."

"But Your Highness Maribel, the time is fast approaching to open the gates of Acacia, and I believe that we should indeed take that opportunity to open the gates of Acaccia and let His Majesty the Dragon of Creation solve this difficult problem. We've been investigating for so long and haven't come to any conclusions, but it's clear that they're pressing closer. I think things are out of our control. ”

A white elf frowned and said very uneasily. In the face of her rebuttal, Maribel was silent for a moment, and finally shook her head.

"We can't take any chances, what if they suddenly attack us just as we open the gates of Akasia? Since the other party has the ability to silently eliminate our colleagues, then I think that in the case of mental calculation or unintentional, our situation may not be much better than theirs, and if the Akashya Gate is forcibly opened at this time, it is difficult to determine whether the other party will make further moves, or it may bring an unprecedented threat! ”

"But, I think ..............."

Hearing this, the white elf wanted to say something more, and at the same time, suddenly, a deafening roar sounded.

"Boom, boom!!"

With the sound of the explosion, the temple began to tremble, interrupting the communication between the four of them. They glanced at each other, and each saw the unease in each other's eyes. At the same time, the door of the conference hall, which had been closed, was suddenly pushed open with a "bang", and then a soldier with a communicative face rushed in.

"Report to His Highness Maribel, we have been attacked!!" (To be continued......)
