Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 559: The disappearing trace
Not every rescue is successfully completed.
Yang Yu did not hold the map of the Cursed Sect's attack. He could only rely on Lotkar's sense to find traces left by the Cursed Sect in the forest to track them, which was extremely inefficient.
When Yang Yu arrived, there was only a scorched black hole left in the forest, and the elves in the hunting team had been captured by the Cursed Sect.
Continuing to search for other flavors, there are more and more cases like this.
It seems that the attack launched by the Cursed Sect is carried out by multiple teams in parallel. Even if the Elf Queen sends her personal guards to protect the elves, the elves can still be distracted and suffer heavy losses.
Aware of this, Yang Yu patted Lotkar on the back, telling him not to pursue new scents, but to continue following the scent left by the believer who caught the elf.
This is indeed a good choice. In order to capture the elves, the believers of the Cursed Sect were stained with a strong smell of fire smoke. This smell was particularly clear outside the burned forest area. Lotkar did not have to Stop and confirm the scent, and you can keep tracking.
Unfortunately, the smell stopped abruptly in an area of forest that was also burned.
With his keen sense of smell, Lotkar also found a large number of different human scents near that area.
Yang Yu carefully observed the ruins that had been extinguished for a long time. A charred tree burned unnaturally in the middle and fell in the center. Looking more closely, there was something on the warm ashes. scratched marks.
According to Yang Yu's guess, this may be the trace left by a teleportation circle.
The Curse Cult most likely gathered the elves here and used large-scale teleportation magic to teleport them to other places.
The development of teleportation magic in this world is immature. Teleportation magic is extremely technically difficult, and the problem of teleportation distance bears the brunt.
When formulating subsequent strategies, Yang Yu considered using the Library of All Things as a springboard to provide instant support to every part of the world when the devil came.
But even the Library of All Things, the holy land of magicians, its research on ultra-long-distance transmission magic still stops at building transmission points with complex magic circles. Even so, the Library of All Things cannot touch the capital of a human country. , to achieve rapid support, not to mention sending people to every corner of the world.
There are many teleportation magics that can be used by individuals, but generally the landing point must be set in advance, and the magic user is also required to have deep and solid magic skills, so as to avoid overturning.
After all, no one wants to suddenly fall into an unknown place. If someone else is broadcasting live, they will probably be beaten to death by someone else's husband and wife.
Generally speaking, the weight of the items carried will also affect the transmission distance of personal teleportation magic to a certain extent.
Taking away so many elves at once, they probably wouldn't be able to go very far. However, their scent was broken, and Lotkar had no way to continue to pursue the scent and rescue those elves.
They also took great pains to destroy the magic circle to prevent magicians from inferring the distance they moved based on the magic circle.
That’s it. There is no need to continue tracking.
The strength of a magician who can use teleportation magic to take away so many elves must not be underestimated. He should at least be at the level of an elder of the Library of All Things.
When my wings became a little stiffer, I ran after the person who seemed to have hit the BOSS. I was just frantically testing on the edge of death. Maybe someone else had left an eyeliner here who could self-destruct, and he could see everything here. .
Since Bai Jin is not here, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
Staying too much will only draw attention to yourself. Pretending to be passing by is the best choice.
After thinking about it, Yang Yu drove Lotkar back along the original road and headed straight to the City of Fallen Feathers.
The elves rescued by Yang Yu gradually formed a large team behind Yang Yu, but they always kept a distance from Yang Yu.
Along the way, they witnessed many battles between Yang Yu, Lotkar and He Meng. They wanted to take advantage of Yang Yu's impasse to help and return the favor.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yu's team was so skillful that they couldn't intervene in the battle between Yang Yu and the Curse Sect.
In the end, this elf hunting team of more than 200 people followed Yang Yu's footsteps and headed to the City of Fallen Feathers.
Two days later.
Following Yang Yu's elf hunting team arrived at the City of Fallen Feathers.
But there was no joy on their faces, and the cruel scene in front of them shocked their fragile nerves.
The golden shield enveloped the City of Falling Feathers, and the city inside was almost unscathed. However, a golden crack cracked from the top of the shield, shining a different kind of vertical light into the City of Falling Feathers, shining on the elves. On the trunk of the tree, the light that originally shone in the canopy of the Elf Tree also dimmed a bit.
Outside the golden light shield, the temporary village originally used to house the elves has turned into a pitch-black scorched earth, and the air is filled with various burnt things.
Among the charred villages, small raised mounds of earth are extremely conspicuous.
On each mound, there is a small beige flower. All elves know what this symbolizes. Some elves have left this world forever before they know it.
The Elf Hunting Team was initially skeptical about Yang Yu's statement that "Luoyu City was also attacked", but when they saw the tragic scene in front of them, they couldn't bear to look directly at it.
The several elves responsible for guarding were relieved to see the returning elf hunting team, but when they saw Yang Yu and Lotkar with the elves, they immediately became wary and asked the messenger to notify the queen quickly.
Many elven people noticed the guard's reaction and came closer. When they saw the elf hunting team, they first showed a reassuring smile, but when they saw that the elf hunting team came back with nothing in their hands, their faces His smile became a little more helpless and bitter, and he sighed and dispersed.
The Elf Hunting Team also saw the expressions of others and lowered their heads unconsciously.
Yang Yu looked around at the burned houses. The Elf Queen gathered all the elves together, but the elves outside the Feather City still maintained the original division of the village.
When he came to the villages outside Luoyu City, Yang Yu could see many warehouses guarded by elf warriors. It is estimated that in the temporarily established villages, each moved village has its own winter storage granary. , to prevent disputes over food issues in various villages.
These winter storage granaries have all been destroyed by fire.
Food shortages become more severe.
Elves are a race that can understand each other, and many elves should believe so.
However, Yang Yu doesn't think so. At least, at this moment, Yang Yu felt that there was no difference between these elves and ordinary humans.
