On the Seven Towers

General Nord said: "After most people fell asleep yesterday, the mage on duty discovered the energy fluctuations. Then the power suddenly became stronger. It's like someone was whispering in the distance, and now it's close to your ear, making people more and more irresistible. You are all at a high level, so it feels okay. But my soldiers were affected much more. Last night they were all drawn out of the tent by the sound, and then stared at the cave entrance blankly, and some even wanted to crawl in."

"I felt it, twice as strong as the last time I came." Evelyn said.

"When we counted the number of people today, we found that four people were missing. Three high elves and one dark elf. They all have mid-level strength and are considered to be the strongest in our team. They must have entered the cave when we were not paying attention."

"The low-level people didn't go in, but the mid-level people went in?" Elena asked.

"I have evacuated all the warriors below the middle level. I left them on duty. I had to send a team of high-level priests, mages and warriors into the cave to look for the missing people."

"Uncle Nord, the elders said..." Elena hesitated.

"I know they want the most suitable team, that is, you, to investigate what is happening here. But my people can't wait that long, and my team is looking for people, so I told them not to go too deep." General Nord paused, "However, they have been in the cave for two hours. I hope I didn't make the wrong decision."

"How many people did you send?" Elena said.

"Four high-level warriors, one mage, and one Yangyan priest. Since they entered, their power has increased a lot." General Nord said firmly, "So, we must find out the problem as soon as possible. If we delay any further, the situation will probably get worse and worse. If one day you elites enter and cannot withstand the pressure, it will be a disaster for the elves."

"Xiao Chen, Roger, do you feel it?" Elena asked.

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I can feel a kind of spiritual energy surging nearby, but I can't feel any specific will."

"I do feel it. It's a call, but it's not strong, I can resist it. And it doesn't ask me to do anything specific, it just seems to want to establish a connection with me." Roger said.

"Even you have it?" Xiao Chen pondered in silence, but he thought of the speculation of the Saint Dahni. Could it be that the more you respect the God of Nature, the more you will be called?

"It's obvious that it has the least impact on Xiao Chen, and Roger is second. It seems that looking for non-elves is useful."

"Elena, discussion will not produce any results. We don't have much time left, you should set off quickly. No one knows when the next change will be." General Nord urged.

The campsite and the cave are connected by a two-meter square hole.

The six people climbed over the hole one by one and came to this larger space. As soon as they stepped in, they were trapped in the white mist. The mist was very thick, and people could not see their figures as long as the distance between them exceeded about five meters.

Xiao Chen used his reconnaissance spirit, but found that although the magic vision was stronger than the real vision and could observe about 30 meters, it could not see through the white fog farther away, so everyone could only maintain formation and distance and move forward slowly.

This cave was the same as the space in front, with many roots of the world tree running through it. Everyone walked on the ground, just like walking in a forest shrouded in thick fog.

They were not walking aimlessly. Evelyn was known as the best dark elf hunter, and of course it was not a false reputation. She had a very powerful innate ability called absolute sense of direction. As long as she walked through a place, she would not lose her way and could walk back without any error.

Xiao Chen held a compass in his hand and roughly judged the direction. In his meditation world, on the beach in front of the house, a map drawn according to his walking direction and walking distance was slowly generated by itself.

After walking for about ten minutes, Evelyn held her head and groaned. She gritted her teeth and hissed, "Something is wrong. The closer we get to the inside of the cave, the stronger the power becomes. I feel very uncomfortable. If I think about it this way, I may not be able to hold on to the position I was in last time."

"I don't feel good either." Maya said.

Xiao Chen glanced at Elaina, who understood his question. She nodded slowly and said, "You cast a spell."

Xiao Chen immediately cast a mental barrier on Evelyn. When the light curtain wrapped her in it, Evelyn's mind obviously relaxed at once.

She released her hands from her forehead, wiped her face with her hands and said: "Thank you! Sir Xiao Chen. I finally don't have to listen to that voice."

"This is a very advanced mental magic." Di Ning said in surprise, "So you are not an elemental mage who is good at ice and fire magic?"

Elena said very seriously: "Xiao Chen is a mage who is good at mental magic, but his magic is not suitable for being exposed to others. I hope you can all keep it secret."

"I'm fine." Di Ning said, "Hurry up and give Maya one."

Xiao Chen also cast the mental barrier magic on Maya again. Maya exclaimed, and then her expression was relieved: "What a powerful magic. Xiao Chen. It seems that I can learn one more thing from you. Don't worry, I won't tell others."

"I can't do it either." Evelyn said.

Xiao Chen cast this magic on all the remaining people in one breath, and this time everyone walked much more lightly.

With Evelyn leading the way, they soon reached the farthest point the expedition team had reached last time.

Evelyn stopped and pointed to the ground and said, "This is where the two saints led the team last time. When they got here, the saints' defense could not hold out. In the end, I led them to retreat from here."

"Do you feel the loss of power?" Elaina asked.

Di Ning, who had the highest realm and Xiao Chen, who had the strongest spiritual power, could feel that their power was slightly dissipated, but it was not serious. Others basically did not feel it.

"But the pressure I felt was indeed much stronger." Maya said.

"At least it means that we are walking in the right direction and are approaching the center." Elaina looked around and found nothing else except clumps of tree roots. She said, "Maya, it's up to you next."

Maya responded and took out twelve small mechanical spiders from the storage ring. She placed them in a circle according to the twelve directions of the clock. She sat cross-legged in the middle of the circle and closed her eyes. The twelve spiders ran out in their respective directions. They would turn around and explore the 30-degree fan-shaped area they were responsible for. Each of these spiders was connected to a trace of her spirit. If they encountered anything special on the way, they would send the detection results back to Maya. Therefore, Maya was like the main control computer controlling the twelve detectors.

The others were on guard, waiting for news from Maya.

"God of Nature!" Maya whispered, "The spider at the six o'clock direction found a body! It should be General Nord's subordinate. But the image sent back by the spider is very blurry. We must find someone to take a look!"
