Chapter 323 The strangeness of the island of gods

On the small island,

When~

The crisp impact sounded in Li Si's ears, waking Li Si out of his dazed state.

Li Si frowned as he looked at the vines that suddenly shot out from the tree nearby.

what's the situation?

Why did I suddenly fall into a trance just now and pick a banana?

He looked at the banana in his hand and the dark green vines that were standing in front of him, twisting and trying to get into the shield.

Li Si suddenly realized one thing, that is, the fruit-bearing trees on this island did not come from different fruit trees as usual.

For example, bananas and mangos should come from different tree species, but in this forest, there is only one kind of tree as far as the eye can see.

It was a tree three meters high, with a pale green trunk and slightly whitened trunk, and branches and leaves like an emerald green umbrella-shaped crown.

All fruits grow directly from the trunk, and even one tree can bear many different kinds of fruits.

The thing that attacked Li Si just now was a thick vine clinging to a tree trunk. It was as thick as an ordinary person's arm and had a sharp tip. Thinking about it, if Li Si hadn't cast a protective spell on his body in advance, Li Si would have been injured by this attack alone. .

Li Si threw a fireball at it, and the dark green vine was instantly wrapped in blue flames. After twisting a few times, it turned into ashes.

Why are you attacking me?

Li Si wondered, is it because I picked the fruit?

But it was clear that Aivar had done something similar just now, so why wasn't he attacked?

Wait, why did I pick that banana?

According to my habits, I would not touch these things easily.

Li Si suddenly noticed the problem.

Including these weird fruit trees next to him, Li Si obviously looked at them carefully before entering the island, but he didn't even notice them.

No, although the detection magic had no effect, I didn't even notice the obvious abnormalities in these fruit trees.

Something was disturbing my spirit, making me ignore the abnormalities of these fruit trees, and making me take the initiative to pick the fruits from the trees.

Li Si realized this and carefully checked the surrounding situation.

Except for the vine that suddenly attacked just now, Li Si didn't find anything abnormal, including the fruits. They were all normal fruits and could be eaten.

In order to avoid being mentally disturbed again, Li Si even used mental intervention spells on himself, and temporarily used the high level of the legendary equipment [Wisdom of the Sphinx] to explore himself.

Under such careful investigation, Li Si determined that he was no longer disturbed.

If the power of that kind of mental interference can exceed [the wisdom of the Sphinx], then there is no need for Li Si to struggle.

I can’t handle it anyway!

Aivar, who was walking in front, also noticed that Li Si was attacked. Upon seeing this, he immediately threw aside the mango he was enjoying.

It's really dangerous!

Aivar's expression immediately became tense, and he stood there without daring to move.

The joy of landing on the island again was dashed by this sudden attack, and now he was only wary.

After all, Aivar is also a senior mercenary, and he is not so blinded by the possible treasures that he gives up his vigilance.

What's more, this scene further illustrates what Li Si just said. This island is not simple, at least it must be dangerous.

Eivar's memory of the last time he landed on the island was a little blurry, because he himself was in a state of extreme collapse at the time, leaving only some residual impressions.

I don't know how he left the island last time, but it doesn't mean that the island is not dangerous.

Aivar was also silent for a moment, and then cast a questioning look at Li Si.

Waving his hand, Li Si stood up.

I didn't find any valuable information, so I had to pay more attention to it.

Aivar walked in front, Li Si followed him, and the two began to slowly go deep into this small island of gods.

Both of them began to be alert to the changes around them, and Aivar's mood was not as relaxed as before.

The land underfoot has changed from golden sand to black earth covered with tender green grass, and a light mist began to fill the air.

Very rich water magic element!

It was so rich that he only needed a little guidance from Li Si, and those light blue magic particles flowed into his body like a stream.

The mage felt much more comfortable in this environment.

But at the same time, Li Si also found that the range of his mental power detection began to slowly shrink again, and was suppressed to the point where he could only sense a range of about eight meters around him.

Li Si took a deep breath, relaxed as much as possible, and carefully perceived the surrounding environment.

For some reason, Li Si felt like a big stone was weighing on his heart, and the pressure in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

Somewhat similar to the feeling when facing the incarnation of the Lord of Beasts in Bright City, but the pressure was much less.

Is this the influence of the remaining power of that god?

I wonder how long ago the God of Storm and Thunder died?

Li Si had never heard of this god in his memory.

Of course, the main world of Gaia has countless dead gods buried in countless ancient times. Even gods with powerful divine power cannot exist forever.

If you count the endless abyss of crazy killing, it would be even more.

After all, what Li Si knew was only a small part of it. Even the history before the human race had records was even more mysterious to Li Si.

After all, it was only after the gods belonging to the human camp rose that humans began to dominate the world of Gaia, and various historical records began to be passed down.

Therefore, mankind's understanding of the long history of the Gaia world is only a small part, and longer records may only be recorded in the core areas of the Titan and Elf groups.

Li Si moved forward in silence while thinking about what was going on on this small island.

Aivar's forward speed also slowed down a lot, and even he felt an ominous atmosphere.

This made him feel a little uneasy.

"Did you feel something?"

Li Si glanced at Aivar and asked in a deep voice.

"It feels bad, very depressing."

Eivar said truthfully and stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Li Si had been paying attention to the surrounding environment, but apart from the sneak attack by the vines just now, there was no other abnormality.

It was as if he tested Li Si and found that he was not easy, so he immediately retracted his hands and feet and continued to hide.

Although Li Si did not have any evidence, his spiritual sense vaguely warned of all this.

Now Li Si urgently needs any clues from the island to break the situation.

Aivar raised his head and looked at the blue sky, and said with a somewhat uncomfortable expression:

"Mingming. It felt so wonderful when I came here last time. Everything was like heaven."

"Although the scenery here looks the same now as before, I feel like there are no elves I saw before, and it feels a little lifeless."

Seeing Aivar's disappointed face, Li Si remembered that when Aivar told him about this island for the first time, he did mention the existence of elves.

Looking at the quiet environment with no movement except the sound of wind, Li Si frowned slightly.

So far, I haven't seen any elves.

The elves that Aivar is talking about are not the beautiful elves who like to live in the forest, but are beings born from the breath of nature.

Those little elves are also known as natural elves. They are generally only the size of an adult's finger. Compared with the elves, they are actually more similar to the existence of elemental spirits.

Only in places with strong natural atmosphere and vibrant vitality are there lower chances of giving birth to those lovely beings.

They are too fragile and have almost no ability to defend themselves. Even wind and rain may take away their lives.

But at the same time, where there are natural elves, the environment will become more pure and lush under their careful care.

Because of this, most extraordinary creatures actually like these little guys and are willing to live in harmony with them.

The same is true for some humans, but the environment where humans live has changed a lot and is not suitable for the breeding and survival of elves, so ordinary people know less about these little guys.

But adventurers are different from mercenaries. As people who often explore inaccessible areas and secret realms, they are no strangers to elves.

So Li Si didn't think that Aivar had at least admitted his mistake.

So why did the elves living on the island disappear?

What happened on the island?

After Ivar left to find?

Li Si nodded, picked a branch from a nearby fruit tree, and felt it carefully.

Sure enough, I didn't feel the presence of any elf.

Li Si pondered in his mind that he was quite familiar with the scent of elves. Because of his training, he had traveled alone through many inaccessible places.

He was quite familiar with the elf's scent and traces.

But now he didn't sense any trace of the elf's existence.

This shows that the elf has disappeared from the island for a long time, at least for more than a year.

Li Si glanced at Aivar and then said:

"Keep moving forward. No matter what, at least we must reach the palace in the center of the island."

Aivar nodded silently, feeling a little depressed.

As the two of them continued to go deeper, they could no longer see any trace of the sea behind them, and there were only more and more dense fruit trees around them.

The repetitive and consistent environment no longer had the sense of surprise before, but became more depressing.

It was as if time and space had frozen.

The two of them had been walking for an unknown amount of time. If calculated based on the normal distance, Li Si and Aivar would have crossed the entire island long ago, but what appeared in front of them was naturally an unchanging forest.

Aivar couldn't help himself and marked the trees on the side to prevent them from making circles.

Li Si did not move. Although it felt like he had walked for most of the day, the black cat hiding in the [Sphinx's Wisdom] told him that only about half an hour had passed since he entered the island.

"So, is there something wrong with my perception?"

Li Si communicated with the black cat in his heart.

"no."

The black cat's lazy voice sounded in Li Si's mind, and Li Si seemed to see the black kitten stretching lazily in the earring space.

“That’s what’s so special about divine power and the Kingdom of God.”

"Although Sphinx's art of ascending to the gods was not successful in the end, he still learned some of the mysteries of divine power."

"Divine power can be said to be stronger than the so-called magic power, fighting spirit, etc. Of course, the most important thing is the ability to create everything."

"The realm of gods is a manifestation of their power, but in the end everything needs to be achieved through divine power."

"The power in thousands of fields, such as storm, fear, justice, balance, wealth, etc., are all based on divine power."

"This is something that other extraordinary powers cannot do, so the strongest in the world are those gods."

"Master Sphinx is very powerful. Although the art of ascension has not yet been perfected, he has indeed created a way to condense the power of the elements."

Maybe they were talking about the black cat's former owner, the Sphinx, so the always lazy black cat talked a lot.

"He speculates that if he continues to improve, and even reaches the stage of great divine power, it is possible to control time and space and create a Gaia main world again!"

Black Cat said with emotion:

"That was his dream, but he can never see it again."

Noticing the black cat's slight disappointment, Li Si changed the topic while paying attention to the surrounding environment.

"So, you said that the changes I feel are all due to the influence of divine power?"

"You said before that you felt the breath of divine power, so do you know where the source of this change is?"

"Hmph!"

The black cat became energetic and said proudly in Li Si's mind:

"I may not be able to do anything else, but I'm very familiar with this."

"but."

Black Cat chuckled.

"Ten gold coins!"

"make a deal!"

One person and one cat reached a deal, and both parties expressed their satisfaction.

The black cat didn't ask for money to save a small treasury, but simply because it was greedy for something delicious when it was wandering around Tanah Port, and asked Li Si for money to buy it.

After all, it is a little meow with a high moral bottom line and cannot steal anything.

At first, the things Black Cat bought were relatively normal, but then they became more and more outrageous.

But once Black Cat bought a bunch of pancakes, pickled fish, and durian and filled Li Si's room, Li Si decisively cut off Black Cat's source of income.

He finally understood that this guy was just greedy and satisfied after a little taste.

This kind of behavior is more about enjoying the fun of "buying, buying, buying".

Fortunately, talking magic pets are not too rare in this world, otherwise this guy would have been caught and studied long ago.

After losing its source of income, Black Cat lost its ideals just like the salted fish it bought. As long as it could get gold coins from Li Si, it would do anything.

The black cat, who felt that he had made a profit, said happily:

"There are many auras of divine power on this island, but most of them are too weak and of little value."

"There are two places with the strongest aura of divine power. One is in the center of the island, which should be the core palace."

"There is another place, right in front of you, very close."

Li Si nodded, and under the guidance of the black cat, he turned slightly and headed towards the right with Aivar.
