Maya took out another mechanical spider and guided Xiao Chen, Elaine, and Evelyn in the direction of the corpse.

The corpse, dressed in the mage robes of the High Elves, slumped its back to the edge of a cluster of tree roots. There was a wound on the back, and blood stained the robes red.

"It looks like it's Uncle Nord's high-level mage, how could he be killed here alone?" "Elaina circled the corpse and crouched down to look at his face, "It looks like his face is injured too." ”

Xiao Chen stepped forward and turned the corpse over, and found that the mage's eyes and nose were pitch black, and those eyes were already scorched out of shape, "He was attacked by the enemy from the front, and it should have been a fist-sized high-temperature fireball that smashed directly on the bridge of his nose." He was afraid that he would be blind in an instant, and then, in a panic, he was stabbed in the back again. ”

Xiao Chen stood up and looked at his surroundings, and then judged, "It should be a surprise attack, and it was his companion's hand." ”

"Ah, why?" said Elaina, covering her mouth.

Xiao Chen walked to the edge of the tree, pointed to the scattered pools of blood on it and said, "Look at this bloodstain, it should have been splashed when someone stabbed him in the back." So, I judged that this was the place where he was killed. However, there was no trace of a fight around, and as a high-level mage, as long as he found an enemy, he would never be killed so easily, which means that he was defenseless when he died, and he was killed before he could resist. And judging from these footprints on the ground, there are many companions around him, it cannot be the work of an alien enemy, then only his companions can do it. ”

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen is right, this one on his face should be the Sun Fire Technique of the Yang Yan Priest. And in the team sent by General Nord, there happened to be a Yang Yan priest. Evelyn carefully examined the wound and said, "Also, the wound on the back is also caused by the elven sword. ”

"Cannibalism?" Elaine asked.

Evelyn stared at the messy footprints on the ground for a moment, then nodded and said, "There is a team of six people in total, and this mage is in the fifth. When they came to the root of the cluster, something happened to their companions in front and behind, and everyone stopped. You see, the deepest footprints are the result of them standing still for a long time.

Evelyn analyzed the traces, and her words suddenly increased, and she pointed to a series of footprints and said, "But this mage is different, he walks back and forth, to check on the situation of these people. When he walked up to the Yang Yan Priest, the Priest had already turned into an enemy, and he directly hit the mage in the face with the Sun Fire Technique, blinding him. She took a step back and pointed to a series of footprints on the other side, saying, "This set of footprints is very deep at the heel, and the steps are very scattered, it should be that he is unsteady on his feet, and he retreats backwards towards this root." At this time, the warrior who was at the end also moved, and he stabbed the mage in the back with a sword, and then when he drew his sword, blood splattered on the roots of the tree, leaving the trail of blood. After the mage was stabbed in the heart, he was also kicked by the warrior, and fell face down on the root of the tree, and died after not holding out for long. However, after killing him, whether it was the Yang Flame Priest or the swordsman, all his companions didn't care about him at all, and left directly. ”

"Generally speaking, even if they take a different stance and betray their former comrades, people will not leave without care, and if the remaining five people here behave like this, it is likely that they will not have much of their own will. ”

"Could it be that his companions were all controlled by that voice, and turned into monsters that slaughtered their companions?" Elaina pulled out a cloth from the storage ring and placed it over the corpse's face.

"It's not surprising, if it weren't for Master Xiao Chen, I might not have been able to hold on just now. Although the voice didn't say what to do with me at the time, I knew very well that if I let go, I would become a puppet who was completely obedient to its commands. Evelyn said with a palpitation.

Xiao Chen said: "Maybe it's because the mage's spiritual power is strong and he resisted control, so he became an outlier among the crowd and was killed as a target." It's not a good place to stay for long, let's go back and meet Dinin and them. ”

At this time, Maya's mechanical spider jumped, and the spider waved its two feet and made a gesture for a while, and quickly ran back to the original path.

"It's ......," Elaina didn't know.

Xiao Chen slapped his thigh, "Oops, they must have been attacked, let's go!"

——————————————

After Xiao Chen and the three left, Maya continued to scout the surrounding situation through the mechanical spider. Dineen and Roger guard her one after the other.

"It's really big here, my spider walked back and forth for about twenty minutes without touching a border. Although they don't run fast and walk in a broken line, it's amazing enough. Maya muttered halfway through her brows and whispered, "Hey, what's wrong with the spiders at eleven o'clock? No, I carefully checked each spider yesterday." ”

"What's going on?" asked Dinein, "what do you see? Could it be that you've been attacked?"

"I didn't see anything, and as soon as the image of the spider went black, there was nothing. This was the case in the past when there was a failure. Maya took out another spider and prepared to explore it again.

Dineen stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, let the nearby spiders lean over and take a look." ”

Due to the large number of spiders released, the distance between the two spiders was not too far from the accident site, and the spiders in the direction of ten and twelve o'clock quickly turned around and ran to the location where the eleventh spider was missing under Maya's order.

Spider Ten arrived there first, but it hadn't seen the situation of Spider 11 clearly, and it was also dark in front of it, and there was no news, but Spider 12, who was following it, saw a black shadow passing over Spider 10's head, drawing a sword light.

"There's someone in that position! They smash my spider! I saw it from the last spider. Maya shouted.

"You let the last spider look up. Dinen shouted.

As soon as Spider Twelve raised his head, he saw a man swoop down like a big bird, and his long sword was raised and slashed at it. However, before Spider Twelve died, Maya captured the man's appearance.

"Elf! It's an elf attacking my spider!"

"Elves?" Dienin took a few steps back and forth, holding her chin, "Are they the ones who have gone missing?" ”

At this moment, Roger, who was already ready for battle, suddenly heard the voice of the bowstring: "Enemy attack!" He flew and pounced, knocking Maya to the ground. An arrow pierced his fighting spirit and pinned it to his shoulder blades.
