Chapter 338: A fork in the road
Except for the fork in the road, Madame walked all the way back, because Madame walked very fast, and she went up, so the speed was much faster than when she came.
Soon, Madame saw Brooke walking towards her, and Brooke's face looked very bad at this time. One is that he is worried that Wood has encountered danger, and the other is that his wife has disappeared under his nose, so he is naturally very anxious.
Seeing Mrs. coming over at this time, Brooke couldn't help but ask, "Madam, have you seen Wood?"
"Wood, no, Brooke, why are you here. I happen to have something very important to tell you. The lady who came to her senses naturally couldn't remember why Brooke was here, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not difficult to think that Brooke should have come with her at that time.
"What's the matter?" Brooke looked at Madame suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong with Madame.
"Did you come here with me?" asked Madame.
Brooke didn't know what Madame's consciousness was, but nodded cooperatively.
"I just now, as if I was being manipulated, just now, I came to a fork in the road, and then I felt like I woke up from a dream. It's just that I can't remember anything about what happened before. Madame said truthfully.
"It must be the Elven King, Madam, do you feel that something is wrong?" Brooke was obviously very surprised to hear Madame's words.
To be honest, he didn't see anything unusual about his wife just now. If the lady was manipulated by someone at that time, and she didn't even notice it right under her nose, it can be seen that the current elf king's ability has far exceeded their imagination.
"Perhaps, he hasn't left this place yet, what are we doing here? Is there something wrong with Wood?" asked the lady eagerly, the feeling of being out of the way made her very uncomfortable.
"Yes, I heard Bug say that Wood entered here with Squeak in order to find Gurgle. However, by the time we arrived, the cracks in the ground had closed. The crack we are in now was jointly created by me and you. It's just that we haven't heard anything from Wood yet, and I'm really worried that Wood will be in danger. Brooke was also very helpless.
Coming here, not only would he not be able to use all of his mana, but even if he could, he would be worried that his mana would inadvertently hurt Wood.
"What? could there be such a thing?" Hearing Brooke's words, the look on Madame's face became even more worried.
The elven king must have come for Wood, and perhaps he knew that Wood was killed here?
"Let's keep going the way we just walked, maybe Wood is here. The Elven King wouldn't spend so much time on anything else. He must have known that Wood was here. The lady said, leading the way.
The place where she regained her sanity just now should be the place where the elven king lost control over her. The Elven King must have found someone more important, so he left.
So, Madame took Brooke and Giggle with her, and followed the footprints of her own return. Bug was a little impatient waiting at the top, so he also came down and happened to follow them.
When he arrived at the place, Brooke's face suddenly froze.
"This place is a dead end. The lady who had come to the end turned around and said in despair.
Before, Madame didn't go this way, so she didn't expect that this would be the end.
Seeing Brooke's puzzled look, Madame also recalled her situation at that time.
When Madame was sober, she saw only her own footprints on the ground, and no other people's footprints or traces.
At this time, I think about it, this matter is very suspicious. When the elven king leaves his wife, he himself will appear in his original form. No matter which direction he goes, there will be his footprints on the ground.
The soil here is fresh, and spells alone can't remove those footprints.
"Wait, I seem to smell a squeak. Just as Madame and Brooke were dazed, Giggle suddenly spoke.
Along the way, Giggles were carefully looking for a squeaky breath, for fear that they would miss a single detail. As a result, all the way down, Giggle didn't gain anything at all. But when I got here, I seemed to have found something.
After a careful search, I really found the smell of Lesqueak before leaving here.
It's just that the smell is very faint, which means that they have been away from here for a long time.
"Is there really a squeak in here?" Brooke asked.
If Squeak has been here, there's a good chance Wood has been here. This shows that they are not looking in the wrong direction.
"Yes, but it's weird, it's only squeaky here, but there's nothing around here. Giggle said in confusion, not knowing why it was like this.
It stands to reason that if Squeak had been here, there would have been a squeaky smell around here. But Giggle only found the breath left by Squeak in one place, and it felt like Squeak had suddenly come to this place from a far away, without any transition in between.
"There's only one place where there is a squeak?" said Bug, and the uneasiness in his heart intensified when he heard the giggling words.
"Yes, it feels like a squeak from a far away, suddenly appearing here, and then suddenly disappearing. Giggled said disappointedly.
I finally found the squeaky breath, but it was only such a small point, and I was naturally extremely disappointed in my heart.
"Wood...... Isn't it going to be taken to another dimension?" said Bug in horror.
At first, Bugg was just worried that something like this would happen, but after listening to the giggles, Bugg seemed to be sure that Wood must have been taken to another world.
Because of this, this matter can be explained clearly.
When the Serpent appeared, the rift showed no signs of closing, which means that the door to the other world that Wood had opened was most likely not closed yet.
Today, when Wood came here, the crack suddenly closed, and it must be the door of the other world that has been closed.
Only those who open it are qualified to close the door of the other world. Bugg guessed that Wood himself didn't know how to close the door to the otherworld, otherwise he would have closed the door as soon as the snake people came out.
