Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 85 Changes

Deep Blue quickly replied: "Based on the terrain comparison, there is a 99.99% probability that this is a planting site for potion ingredients such as Dragon's Beard Grass."

Herag looked around: "Looks like I wasn't mistaken, it's not my problem."

He looked around; the signs of cultivation were gone, and the path between the fields was also gone.

After a moment of contemplation, Herag mustered his courage and moved closer to the pine forest.

He moved very slowly and carefully, trying not to make any loud noise.

After reaching a point where he could barely see the pine forest in the distance, he stopped and gazed into the distance, carefully observing the activity within the pine forest.

"There's no more spider silk..."

After observing the forest repeatedly, Herag discovered that the spider silk had completely disappeared.

The ground of the pine forest, which was originally covered with spider silk, is now completely invisible.

"Strange, I could still see spider webs hanging on the branches when I came out of the cave, but they've all disappeared from the pine forest now... Wait a minute..."

Herag recalled that when he came out of the cave at dawn, he could still see the remaining spider silk hanging on the branches at the cave entrance, and he could also see the traces of spiders crawling on the ground.

He suddenly wondered if the fields were gone, and the spider swarms in the pine forest were gone too, would the ancient ruins in the cave still exist?

With that in mind, Herag decided to return to the cave to investigate the situation.

After returning the way he came, he arrived at the cave.

The sight before him left Helag dumbfounded; the cave entrance had vanished completely.

The place where there used to be a cave is now just a mountain, with no cave entrance at all.

Hrag, unwilling to give up, wandered around the area but found no trace of the cave.

He used a shovel to remove some weeds from the surface of the hillside and dug some soil down, but found no signs of excavation.

Herag looked back at the surrounding woods. The spider silk hanging on the trees was gone, and there were no traces of spiders crawling on the ground.

With so many spider webs hanging on the tree, it's impossible for them all to be blown away by the wind in such a short time.

"With my current knowledge, it's difficult to explain this phenomenon..."

Herag had never encountered this situation before, nor had he studied any related knowledge. He didn't even know what subject he should study for this phenomenon.

"According to the blacksmith, we can leave during the day. Does that mean that day and night are two different worlds? Or two different spaces? Otherwise, the changes wouldn't be so drastic."

After pondering for a while, Helag guessed that there might be overlapping spaces here.

At night, the eerie town, the fields planted with potion ingredients, the swarms of spiders, and the space where the cave is located will appear. During the day, it is a normal valley town.

Helag suddenly thought, "That's right, let's go check out the town."

The houses in the valley town are all dangerous; there's something unusual inside each one.

If it were nighttime, there was no way Hrag would go back; he wouldn't even dare to look at it again.

But it was daytime now, and he felt it was worth the risk to go back and observe from a distance. If there were no problems, he would then go into the town to take a look.

Anyway, we'll have to pass through the town to get back to the narrow pass at the foot of the mountain. If there's a problem in the town, we'll just take a long detour.

He glanced back at the cave-less mountain wall and then returned the way he came.

However, he still avoided the pine forest area; the spider swarm had left a deep impression on him.

Even during the day, he dared not get too close, and tried to walk as far away as possible.

On the way back, Helag also observed the path beneath his feet.

The mammoth from last night was so big, it must have left obvious tracks wherever it ran.

However, Helag couldn't find a single trace of it along the way.

The ground was overgrown with weeds, and even the road surface was covered by weeds, showing that no one had passed by here for many years.

Herag returned to the town along the road and stopped where he could clearly see the town.

He observed the situation in the town from a distance and sensed something was wrong.

He remembered that when he first arrived in Xigu Town, it was during the day. At that time, from the foot of the mountain, it looked like a very ordinary town, with people going about their business and walking around.

But now, from his vantage point, Helag sees the valley town as nothing but ruins.

Some of the houses in the valley town have completely collapsed, while others are rotten and dilapidated, with many green plants entwined around them.

Some houses were clearly burned; several houses in that area were reduced to ruins.

As Hrag approached, he discovered that the road in the town was also overgrown with weeds. From a distance, it was almost impossible to tell that it had ever been a road.

Based on his memory, he arrived at the blacksmith's house.

The main structure of the house is still relatively well preserved, and the main gate remains tightly closed.

Herag looked through the window and could see that the furnishings inside were similar to what he had seen at night.

He walked to the door and tried to push it, but it wouldn't budge.

The door lock was rusted shut, and Herag pushed the entire door frame down with just a little more force.

Herag was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, blacksmith, I didn't mean to..."

The door frame crashed to the ground with a bang, and the thick layer of dust that had accumulated inside the house for years instantly flew up, forcing Hrag to take two steps back and retreat outside to avoid the dust.

After the dust settled, Herag went back into the house.

He first walked around the first floor and found that various plants had begun to grow in every room.

He even spotted a snake, which, after being startled by Hrag, quickly slithered away through a hole in the window.

"Let's go check the second floor." After thinking for a moment, Herag decided to go check the second floor.

The stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor are somewhat rotten, with many steps having holes.

Helag stepped onto the stairs, which creaked under the weight.

To avoid tripping, he had Deep Blue check the stairs beforehand.

In some places, the underlying support has collapsed, and stepping on it will cause it to break.

Herag carefully climbed the stairs to the second floor, and the first thing he saw was the dining table.

Last night, there was one of Robert's unfortunate arms on this dining table.

Looking at it now, the dining table is still there, but apart from a lot of clutter on the table, the arm is no longer visible.

Helag then looked at the other two rooms on the second floor. Each room was dilapidated and covered with various plants.

What bothered him was that in the room where the thighs had been hanging up last night, Hrag still found those photos.

The photo is so blurry that the contents are completely illegible, but it is still vaguely recognizable as a family photo of the blacksmith and his family of three.

Besides the photos, Helag also found a rag doll on the bedside table.

The doll was tattered, but you could still tell that it was the same doll that the little girl had been holding last night.
