The corpse of the infested body turned into black smoke and dissipated at an extremely fast speed. After solving this trouble, the great sage regained his composure and stood quietly in place.

Like a magic puppet that completes the goal but has no follow-up quest instructions.

At this time, Oxia was also free from the feeling brought by the candy. The indescribable taste was gradually dissipating, but her mental state was excellent.

"Ok?"

She let out a soft whimper, and her eyes fell on the location of the infested body.

Something seems to have fallen there.

Oxia walked over, squatted down, picked up the things in the ashes, and brushed away the smoke and dust on the surface in her hands.

It looks like...a badge.

Indeed a badge.

There are carvings of stars and swords on the surface. Although it has been rusted, the patterns can still be clearly identified.

Are you really a former soldier?

I don't know if it's an ordinary soldier or a general who leads the army...

It doesn't make sense now.

Oxia remembered the murmur like a dream she heard earlier, when she ate the candy from the City of Steel, and vaguely heard the words.

"The enemy...destroy..."

Just stick to your duty as a soldier.

Perhaps he launched an attack, but it was a ray of faith still lingering in his heart.

Oxia sighed softly, took off the dagger from her waist, and put it aside.

"Soldier, you can rest now."

She stood up and looked into the distance.

The historical reflection that I do not know how many years ago is quietly dissipating, gradually becoming illusory and transparent, like a blurred dream, and now it is time to wake up.

There are still many problems waiting for her to find out. The most important thing at present is to find other members.

…

"You said, have Oxia and the others arrived now?" Luo Chuan asked casually while eating breakfast.

The golden sunlight fell on the body through the window, bringing a warm feeling.

Yao Ziyan took a sip of juice, narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eyelashes left a hazy shadow on her cheeks: "According to their speed, they should be arriving soon, I don't know what's in the land of chaos."

She has also seen a lot of news related to Chaos Land on the magic phone.

But for now, no customer has really entered the core area of ​​Chaos Land.

There is a lot of news of exploration, and the truth is mixed, and no one knows which one is true.

Some customers say that the land of chaos is shrouded in a thick black mist, and from a distance it looks like a veil of dust covering everything in the sky.

Some customers also said that the Land of Chaos is a terrifying canyon with no bottom at all, with endless darkness surging, and infested bodies constantly climbing and falling along the cliffs, like ghosts escaping from hell.

Some customers say that another ecosystem that is completely different from the outside world has already formed there, and that brand new creatures have begun to thrive...

All in all, it's pretty exciting as a story.

As for the facts, that's another story.

"Land of Chaos..."

Anno muttered softly.

Since the natural disaster, this name has basically become a taboo in the hearts of most people, and it can even stop the crying of children at night.

"Hey, Anno." Yao Ziyan poked the elf girl with chopsticks.

"Huh?" Anno turned to look.

"Tell us about the land of chaos." Yao Ziyan made a request, "Luo Chuan and I have not been here for a long time, and we haven't learned much about it yet."

Anno swallowed the food in his mouth: "I don't know much. It is said that there is an outbreak area of ​​natural disasters. As for the cause of the outbreak, I am afraid no one knows."

Speaking of this topic, Anno looked out the window a little absently, recalling the disaster that happened a few years ago.

"The entire sky at that time suddenly darkened, as if the light was completely swallowed by some unknown existence, an indescribable terrifying energy directly swept Kolo, and the body of any eroded creature would appear in a state of crystallization, and eventually was completely transformed into an infested body."

"I heard that infectives can still be born out of thin air?" Yao Ziyan suddenly remembered a feature about infectives.

"Yes." Anno nodded, "When the free Honkai energy in the air reaches a certain level, an infested body will appear out of thin air."

"Why?" Yao Ziyan blurted out.

"I don't know." The elf girl shook her head, "Actually, scholars have discovered this problem a long time ago, and it took a long time to confirm it. As for how the infective body appeared, there is still no question. any accurate conclusions."

Anno thought for a while, and then seriously added: "Maybe I have found the reason, but I don't know. You can ask her when Lord Oxia returns."

Before she met Luo Chuan and Yao Ziyan, she just lived in the City of Steel and did not deliberately collect information in this regard.

As an ordinary elf, it is not easy to know so much.

"Luo Chuan, what do you think?"

"Um...I don't understand."

"...That's why I want to hear your opinion."

"According to Anno, it sounds like a creature in a conceptual form that can be resurrected under certain conditions after death, but I prefer another possibility."

"Ok?"

"Those infectives didn't die at all."

"Eh? Why do you say that?"

"It may just be the shells that the infectives use to operate in this world, and they can be treated as some kind of ghost-like life, living in a plane completely different from reality, unable to do anything in reality. put one's oar in."

"So, they need a medium that can carry themselves so that they can operate in Kolo?"

"That's right, when the body is destroyed, these ghosts return to their original state. When the collapse energy is strong to a certain extent, they can come again."

The conversation between the two pointed to a bold guess.

According to the principle of parallel world, it seems quite reasonable, enough to explain the current situation.

When she was in St. Nia before, Oxia said when she organized the conspiracy of the annihilation believers that they wanted to let the nightmare on the other side invade reality.

Could the infestation come from there?

It seems not impossible.

The elf girl naturally didn't know what kind of conversation the two had had in this short period of time, and she was still talking about herself: "It is said that the land of chaos is filled with extremely strong collapse energy, and you need to have the power to enter. Sheltered by things blessed by the gods..."

I have to say that after becoming the host of Voice of Story, Anno's storytelling ability has been greatly improved.

Yao Ziyan asked questions from time to time, and Luo Chuan was mainly responsible for listening.

thump—

Suddenly, a melodious bell appeared in Luo Chuan's mind, which shocked him.
