Chapter 8: The Crisis Facing the Elves
Kalona's eyes were a little moist, and there was moisture in her eyes. Mo Fan quietly waited for the third thing to begin, and the Rubik's Cube was also not noisy, quiet on the table, slightly flashing blue light.
I don't know how long it took, but Kalona's mood stabilized a little, and I saw a vine stretch out from under the table, rolling a piece of dead wood and placing it on the table, and at the same time, Kalona slowly said the third thing.
It was a starry night a year ago, the red night exuding an ominous aura, and it was the only night that their clan had had in years.
All the clansmen did not sleep, staring at the red night sky, their eyes radiating a new color, those red stars flashed more often than usual, maybe they were not stars.
Time passed quickly, it was already midnight, but these elves who slept on time every day looked at the sky, and maybe tonight was a sleepless night. In their eyes, the stars seemed to be a little bigger than before, and a little less numerous.
Gradually, they had a strange sensation, and every time the stars flickered, they could feel a slight fluctuation in energy. And this feeling became stronger and stronger as time went on, and their hearts became a little uneasy.
After some time, the elves, who had not moved in the middle of the night, began to make noise, and they saw that a star in the sky exploded. Yes, it was far away, but they seemed to be able to see the explosion clearly, accompanied by the tremendous energy generated by the explosion.
The energy slammed into the forest, and the trees were constantly swaying by the impact, it seemed that it was too far away, and the impact here was only some aftermath.
The sound of branches and leaves clashing was accompanied by the panicked discussion of the elves, and all the clansmen were afraid, even the eldest of the clan. This energy stirred up fear in their hearts and reminded them of the explosion three years ago.
But the heavens did not stop, but intensified, the speed of those so-called stars exploded faster and faster, and the number of explosions increased exponentially, and the continuous energy impacted this forest and the fragile hearts of all the people.
The twigs and sand of the wind fluttered on them, but the elves just stared at the sky in amazement, and no one knew what was going on in the sky.
Gradually, the impact weakened, and the 'stars' in the sky did not move for a long time, but the hearts of the elves were always high.
In front of him, a faint red mist appeared, and a trace of whiteness had torn through the darkness on the horizon.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, so thick that it was impossible to see the faces of the people around him; It was so thick that every breath of air filled with red mist and water vapor. The elves were a little sleepy, and they had been worried all night, and now the sudden relaxation caused all the people to fall into a deep sleep.
It smelled bad, and Kalona shook her head, but she couldn't get rid of the rancid smell that filled her nose, and it made her uncomfortable. She opened her eyes slowly, and the clansmen on the side also woke up slowly, but everything that caught her eyes made them dumbfounded.
The comfortable sunshine is sprinkled on this forest as always, but is this their forest?
The yellow leaves covered the earth, like a yellow carpet, and as far as the eye could see, all the trees were dry, and with a slight movement, the branches under their feet were broken. The trees are dead, and the whole forest is no longer alive, bringing them only an endless dead silence.
Kalona and her people jumped on the dead leaves, half of their bodies sinking into it, their feet wet and sticky. It was a rotting leaf, and the elves didn't care about it, but were heading in the same direction—they, looking for their mother.
Along the way, the flowers, birds, insects and beasts that used to play with them were buried in the dead leaves, the corpses and the dead leaves rotted together, the strong smell of corpses permeated the entire forest, and the elves released a large amount of air purification magic, which was finally better.
Seeing that the magic was working normally, all the elves breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the mother was fine.
During this period, some people used life magic on the dead trees, but what was devouring the life of the trees, as long as they stopped the transmission of life, the trees full of life quickly withered in front of them, and there were more layers of fallen leaves on the ground.
The elves walk very slowly, and it is difficult for their feet to walk among the dead leaves. The atmosphere along the way was very oppressive, no one spoke, only the sound of their breathing accompanied by the rustle of dead leaves as they advanced.
Finally, the elves arrived, and in front of them was a small forest, which was like an oasis in the desert, full of endless life. It was their home, but now, this familiar place seemed out of place here.
In the center of the woods was a towering tree, and the sight of it made the elves' hearts relax, as if as long as it was there, all difficulties were not a problem.
They approached the giant tree, but the more they walked, the more they realized that something was wrong, and along the way, there was nothing but trees, not even a flower or grass. There was only the sound of the branches swaying, like a welcome, like a ...... An indescribable meaning.
They stood around the giant tree, feeling the rich breath of life, but what was the use of these?
All the clansmen are together again, and they must find a way to solve the current situation and figure out what is really going on in the heavens.
But the year passed quickly, and several new kinds of magic were created by the elves, but the entire Gacha Forest still did not improve. The forest no longer has the laughter and laughter of the past, and the elves are surrounded by despair!
There are a few fewer of them, their lives have reached the limit, but the mother is unable to give birth to new children.
That's not going to work! The elves were determined that they had to look outside for help. So, the teleportation circle was opened, and it was not known where the circle would send them, but in any case, several had to be sent.
After Carlona finished telling the story, Mo Fan looked at her and didn't speak, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. She didn't say, who could know what her people had gone through to this conclusion.
The Rubik's Cube floated slightly, its movements were very light, and it floated to the sky above the dead branch, emitting a blue light, scanning the material composition in it.
Mo Fan is very confused now, he is asking himself, what can he do? Or what could he do with the world as he knew it? And the result he came to was - nothing could be done!
Is it really impossible to do anything? Mo Fan looked at his hands, no! Did he remember the box Zhang Xuzhi gave, the demon? He remembered the lost companion that the Cube had spoken of; I thought of Kalona's group of people who were still waiting for help; remembered the corpse that Zhang Xuzhi said, the appearance and means of Kalona and the Rubik's Cube. Yes, since these are real, how can nothing be done!
Kalona waited quietly, she knew she had to wait, and she had to wait.
