On the Seven Towers

Maya took out another mechanical spider and guided Xiao Chen, Elena and Evelin towards the corpse.

The corpse was wearing the mage robe of a high elf and fell on its back next to a cluster of tree roots. There was a wound on his back, and the blood stained his robe.

"It looks like he was a high-level mage under Uncle Nord. How could he be killed here alone?" Elena circled around the body, then squatted on the ground and looked at his face, "It seems There were also injuries on the face.”

Xiao Chen stepped forward and turned the body over, and found that the mage's eyes and nose were completely black, and his eyes were scorched out of shape. "He was attacked from the front by the enemy. It should have been a high-temperature fireball the size of a fist. It was directly hit by a high-temperature fireball." On the bridge of his nose. He was probably blinded for a moment, and then in panic, he was stabbed from behind. "

Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the surrounding environment, and then judged: "It should be a sudden attack, and it was carried out by his companions."

"Ah, why?" Elena said, covering her mouth lightly.

Xiao Chen walked to the root of the tree, pointed to the scattered blood spots on it and said, "Look at this blood stain, it should be spattered when someone stabbed him in the back. Therefore, I judge that this is where he was killed." place. However, there were no traces of fighting around him. As a senior mage, once he discovered the enemy, he would never be killed so easily. This shows that he was unprepared when he died and was killed before he could resist. . And judging from the footprints on the ground, there are many companions around him. It cannot be caused by external enemies, so only his companions can do it. "

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen is right. The look on his face should be the Sunfire Technique of the Sunfire Priest. And there happened to be a Sunfire Priest in the team sent by General Nord." Evelin carefully inspected the wound. Said, "In addition, the wound on the back was also caused by the elf sword."

"Killing each other?" Elena asked.

Evelin stared at the messy footprints on the ground for a while, then nodded and said, "There are a total of six people in the team, and this mage is walking in the fifth place. When they came to the edge of the tree roots, the companions in front and behind all happened. At some point, everyone stopped. You see, these deepest footprints were caused by them standing still for a long time.

Evelin analyzed the traces and suddenly became more talkative. She pointed to a series of footprints and said: "But this mage is different. He walked back and forth to check on these people. When he walked to the Yang Yan Priest, the Priest Having become an enemy, he directly hit the mage in the face with the Sunfire Technique, beating him blind." She took a step back, pointed to a string of footprints on the other side and said, "This string of footprints is particularly deep at the heel. , and his steps were very sloppy. He must have been unstable and fell back towards the root of the tree. At this time, the warrior who was at the end also moved. He stabbed the mage in the back with his sword, and then drew his sword. The blood splashed onto the root of the tree, leaving a trail of blood. After the mage was stabbed in the heart, he was kicked by the warrior and fell face down on the root of the tree. He died after killing him. No matter it was the Yangyan priest or the swordsman, all his companions didn't pay attention to him at all and left directly. "

"Generally speaking, even if their positions are different and they betray their former companions, people will not leave without caring. If the remaining five people here behave like this, it is very likely that they will not have much will left of their own."

"Could it be that his companions were controlled by that voice? They turned into monsters that massacred their companions?" Elena took out a piece of cloth from the storage ring and covered 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 it wanted me to do at the time, I knew very well that as soon as I relaxed, I would become a completely obedient person. It's a puppet." Evelin said with lingering fear.

Xiao Chen said: "Perhaps it is because the mage has strong mental power and resisted the control, so he became an alien among everyone and was targeted for death. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go back and meet up with Dining and the others. ”

At this time, Maya's mechanical spider started to jump. The spider waved its two legs and gestured for a while, then quickly ran back to the original path.

"This is..." Elena didn't know why.

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

——————————————

After Xiao Chen and the others left, Maya continued to detect the surrounding situation through the mechanical spider. Dinin and Roger guarded her.

"It's really big here. My spiders walked back and forth for about twenty minutes without ever encountering a boundary. Although they didn't run fast and walked in a zigzag line, it was amazing enough." Maya suddenly raised her eyebrows in the middle of muttering. Wrinkled, he whispered: "Hey, why is the spider in the eleven o'clock direction broken? It shouldn't be. I checked every spider carefully yesterday."

"What's going on?" Dining asked, "What did you see? Could it be that you were attacked?"

"I didn't see anything. Once the image the spider saw went dark, there was nothing. This happened when a malfunction occurred in the past." Maya took out another spider and prepared to explore there again.

Dining stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, let the nearby spiders come over and take a look."

Since there were many spiders released, the distance between the two nearby spiders was not too far from the accident site. Under Maya's command, the spiders at ten o'clock and twelve o'clock quickly changed direction and headed towards the location where Spider No. 11 lost contact. Ran over.

Spider No. 10 got there first, but before it could see clearly what was happening with Spider No. 11, it also went dark and lost all its voice. However, Spider No. 12, who was following behind it, saw a shadow passing over Spider No. 10's head, and a sword flashed.

"There's someone there! They chopped my spider! I saw it from the last spider." Maya shouted.

"Tell the last spider to look up." Di Ning shouted.

Spider No. 12 just raised its head and saw a man swooping down like a big bird, raising his long sword and slashing it. However, before Spider No. 12 died, Maya caught the man's appearance.

"Elf! An elf is attacking my spider!"

"Elf?" Di Ning held his chin and walked back and forth a few steps, "Could it be the lost people? When Elena and the others come back, we'll go in that direction to take a look."

At this moment, Roger, who was ready for the battle, suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring: "Enemy attack!" He jumped and threw Maya to the ground. An arrow pierced his qi and lodged itself in his shoulder blade.
