117 All Dumbfounded!
Soon, Monka and the others arrived at the mystic realm of the tavern.
“Eh… Why do I feel that the surroundings are strange?”
As soon as he appeared, Monka could not help but frown.
For some reason, he felt that this Tavern’s Mystic Realm… seemed to be a little too quiet!
There was only one spatial entrance to the mystic realm of the tavern in Green Mountain City. In other words, as long as one was teleported to the mystic realm of the tavern from Green Mountain City, they would appear in the southeast area of the mystic realm.
But now…
Monka felt that the southeast region was a little terrifyingly quiet!
“What’s going on?”
Monka frowned, puzzled.
Logically speaking, there should be some Rogues in the periphery of every ruin!
Why couldn’t he see a single Rogue now?
Rogues were some elite monsters that wandered around outside the ruins. Under normal circumstances, within the range of each ruin, there would be Rogues belonging to the ruins. Their goal was to stop challengers who wanted to enter the ruins.
Generally speaking, these Rogues existed in the range of the ruins through the power of the Ruins Guardian. Unless the Ruins Guardian died, Rogues would not disappear!
Of course, there was another possibility, which was that the Ruins Guardian had gathered the Rogues near the ruins. This way, the periphery of the ruins would look a little empty.
However, the current situation was clearly not the second possibility!
Because Monka was now located about ten kilometers away from a ruin, he could easily detect that there was not a single Rogue around!
“The guardian of this ruin… is dead?!”
Monka was a little confused.
That shouldn’t be the case.
The ruins here were at least king-level ruins. More importantly… the guardian of the ruins was protected by the power of the ruins and could be revived infinitely!
Such an existence might be defeated again and again. As for completely obliteration… Other than the Extraordinary, no one else should be able to do it, right?
“Damn it, the guardian of the ruins actually died? Did that kid do it?”
Monka shook his head in disbelief.
To be honest, only Lin Bei had entered this place recently, so this was the only situation that Monka could think of.
Therefore, the disappearance of the Ruins Guardian was definitely related to that kid!
“How did he do it?”
Monka could not understand.
The group quickly arrived outside this ruin. Looking at the intact ruin in front of them, they were stunned again.
“Isn’t this ruin fine? It’s not destroyed!”
Monka was stunned.
The ruins were intact, which meant that there was enough strength to revive the guardian inside. However, the strange thing was that while the ruins were clearly intact, the guardian inside… had already disappeared!
“What do you think?”
Monka looked at the people beside him.
Shadow Assassin Reiner was also dumbfounded and guessed, “Could it be that… the guardian left the ruins at the last minute?”
“Are you kidding me?”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Elemental Summoner Eliza curled her lips and said, “King-level Ruins Guardians can’t leave the ruins! And Emperor-level ones can only leave for a short period of time. Even if they leave, they won’t be too far away. Unless they’re Monarch-tier guardians, they can’t do what they’re doing now!”
“Yeah, such a situation is so rare.”
Blood Battle Knight Kabda nodded.
“It’s obvious that the guardian of this ruin has been killed! Who did it?”
Blood Shadow Archer Bane shrugged.
Everyone looked at each other.
Who did it?
That kid seemed to be the only one who had entered the Tavern’s Mystic Realm recently, right?
“Alright, let’s continue exploring the other ruins!”
Monka said in a low voice. Then, everyone rushed to the next ruin.
Three minutes later, they appeared outside a dynasty ruin.
There were still no Rogues, and similarly, there were no guardians in the ruins.
“Check again!”
Monka’s face darkened, and everyone continued to set off.
However, after investigating four to five dynasty ruins in a row, they still did not see a living Ruins Guardian!
“Damn, what’s going on?”
Finally, Monka could not hold it in anymore.
The disappearance of one or two Ruins Guardians had been recorded in the mystic realm of the tavern. Many situations were the result of some Ruins Guardians committing suicide because they could not stand the loneliness after a long time.
But how could this situation be explained?
Could it be that the guardians of these dynasty ruins committed suicide at the same time?
What a joke!
That was absolutely impossible!
But if they didn’t commit suicide, how did they disappear?
Killed by force?
It was possible, but to be able to kill the Ruins Guardian under the protection of the ruins’ power, such strength was at least extraordinary!
However, extraordinary lifeforms were rejected by the power of the mystic realm and could not enter this space at all!
“Where’s that kid? What happened in the mystic realm space these few days? Where’s that kid? Can anyone come over and explain to me? Damn! What the hell is going on!”
Monka was completely stunned.
He tried to use the membership badge of the Bloodshed Tavern to locate Lin Bei, but he helplessly discovered that he could not locate him at all!
“Could he have returned to his original world? That’s not right! Shouldn’t his corpse be guarded by some Emperor-level Ruins Guardian? There’s no way to return to his world in the ruins!”
In the ruins, players could not go offline.
Not only Monka, but the other four were also stunned.
Everyone looked around like headless flies. However, after half an hour, other than a few empty ruins, they did not find anything!
“Damn, why are the imperial ruins empty?!”
Soon, they realized that something was wrong. They investigated two or three imperial ruins but still did not find any traces of the guardians!
Even the Emperor-level guardians had disappeared?
The five of them looked at each other in shock.
That was the Emperor level! They were gone just like that?
What the hell!
The five faces were dumbfounded!
They even suspected that they had fallen into an illusion.
Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous situation have happened?
“Could it be that the existence in the central area has cast an illusion on us?”
Elemental Summoner Eliza asked uncertainly.
“That can’t be, right? Isn’t she in the central area? Unless a Monarch dies, she won’t be able to come out! Could it be that… the Monarch-tier guardians are also dead?”
Blood Shadow Archer Bane was shocked.
If it was true, then this was too scary!
The few of them were only at the Monarch Level. If Monarch-tier Guardians died here, their situation… would be quite dangerous!
Be it the unknown dangerous power or the existence that could descend at any time, it was not something they could deal with!
Once they encountered it, they would probably be dead!
“Why don’t… we go back and get reinforcements?”
Ben’s heart was pounding.
“Damn, what nonsense are you spouting! Monarch-level Guardians are marked with spirit talismans in our Bloodshed Tavern. If they die, the spirit talismans in the tavern will shatter. We would know!”
Monka frowned and cursed.
“Uh… yes.”
Ben came back to his senses.
Since the talisman in the tavern was not broken, it meant that no Monarch-level guardian had died. This way, the existence in the central area would not have a chance to come out. In other words, they were relatively safe.
But…
Since the Monarch-level Guardians were not dead and what they saw was not an illusion, did that mean that all of this was real?
“Then the question is, how did the Emperor-level guardians disappear? Could it be that they also committed suicide?”
Bane asked.
“Suicide your ass! Do you think that’s possible? It’s fine if it’s one or two, but we’ve already searched three imperial ruins. All the Emperor-tier Bosses inside have disappeared! Could it be that they committed suicide collectively? Definitely not!”
Monka frowned and said in a low voice, “Although I don’t understand what’s going on, I’m sure of one thing. Everything that happened here must be related to that kid! He didn’t leave the mystic realm before the teleportation array disappeared. Something must have happened!”
“And this something should be related to the inexplicable disappearance of these guardians!”
Monka’s tone was solemn. “Perhaps we should prepare for the worst!”
“Prepare for the worst?”
Everyone was puzzled.
“That’s right. The worst!”
Monka nodded and said in a low voice, “We can’t find that kid’s location. Have you ever thought that he didn’t carry out the so-called ‘offline’ operation of the Descended Ones, but… disappeared inexplicably like the guardians in these ruins? And… They disappeared without leaving any traces!”
“This…?!”
Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard this.
If that was the case, it was indeed possible!
“The mystic realm space was originally condensed from a huge spatial crack. Do you think… he has already fallen into the spatial turbulence?”
Shadow Assassin Reiner frowned and asked.
“Spatial turbulence? No way! It’s said that only the Extraordinary can survive there. If he really fell into it accidentally… he would have turned into ashes long ago, right?”
Elemental Summoner Eliza said worriedly.
“It’s very likely!”
Monka’s eyes darkened as he sighed and said, “At this point, there’s no other way. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate! Everyone, split up. The teleportation array only lasts for six hours. Let’s search as much as possible. What if we can find him?”
“Alright, we can’t come here for nothing. Since we’ve paid a huge price, we have to search carefully! Perhaps that kid’s aura has only been concealed? It’s not impossible!”
“Yes! Everyone, get moving!”
Soon, everyone separated and searched for Lin Bei.
Actually, they were already prepared for the worst.
That talented Descended One might have already fallen into the space vortex and his soul had dissipated!
…
In the space vortex, Alina frowned.
She felt that her strength had been depleting recently.
“What’s going on? Could it be that the space vortex is affected by the approach of the Abyss and is suppressing my power?”
Alina said in a deep voice, “But fortunately, it doesn’t affect me much. I can still hold on for a while! I wonder if my disciple has successfully escaped danger. In a few days, I’ll go back. If his performance is not bad, I’ll reward him with a Divinity Crystal.”
“With his personality, he will definitely be extremely excited to see the attributes of the Divinity Crystal, right?”
Alina’s lips curled up as if she could see Lin Bei dancing.
Her disciple was quite talented. If she nurtured him well… he should be able to become Extraordinary!
…
In the underground secret room of the grocery store in the Holy Light Village, Jin Dadao looked at the huge Life Crystal in front of him with a frown. “Sigh, I’m still too slow.”
