After seeing that the grayish-white color was the black tide of the demon world, more mysteries emerged.
Why was it the black tide? Then, what exactly was the black tide?
In fact, since Wang Lu saw the black tide for the first time in the Western Mountain Savage Land, he had been thinking about what exactly the black tide was.
Personally experiencing it, Wang Lu only felt that what he saw was the collection of all the evil in the world, which was opposed to all the good, like a curse left by the gods.
Nine Regions was so big that even if there were some strange scenes in some remote corners, it was not surprising. However, when Wang Lu entered the demon world, he found that the black tide was not unique to Nine Regions. Moreover, compared with the black tide in the Savage Land, the black tide in the demon world seemed to be more authentic. Later, the royal family sisters explained that the origin of the black tide was after the destruction of the Eternal Tree in the demon world, the collapse of the laws of heaven and earth, which made the demon race become crazy and gradually transformed into the undead in the black tide.
This statement was somewhat reasonable. However, when Wang Lu entered the new demon world and saw the black tide for the third time … The statement of the royal family sisters was obviously untenable.
If the black tide was the product of the collapse of the laws of heaven and earth, then why would there be a black tide in the new demon world where the laws were stable?
What was even more inconceivable was that, if the true face of the wind of destruction was the black tide of the demon world, then … how could one not be affected by it just by hiding in the city? What was even more strange was that, according to the people of the new demon world, if it was too late to return to the city, as long as one took the medicine in time and fell asleep, one could resist the damage of the wind of destruction …
Wang Lu had been experiencing the black tide in the Western Mountain for nearly a year, but he never felt that he could protect himself by sleeping in the face of the black tide. At the same time, the black tide would not be blocked by mere city walls and buildings.
There was another detail problem. According to Wang Lu's initial assumption, the wind of destruction was likely to send people to another space. However, from the feedback of the sentry guard, this hypothesis was undoubtedly wrong. The wind of destruction was worthy of its name, it was a disaster that brought destruction … But because of this, Wang Lu felt strange.
"Alas, there are more and more problems."
After some analysis, Zhou Mumu sighed and was very annoyed.
Only Zhan Ziye was still in high spirits. "There are more and more problems worth studying!"
Zhou Mumu rolled her eyes at him. She couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on this idiot.
"We have basically done everything we could do tonight. The sentry guard exploded, and we also lost the signal source from the outside world. Do you want to rest first?" Qiong Hua asked with some exhaustion.
Wang Lu waved his hand. "You guys go rest. I'm going to walk around."
Zhou Mumu said in surprise, "Hey, didn't I say that it's very dangerous outside?"
"It's not like I'm going out of the city. I'm just taking a walk in the yard. That should be fine, right?"
Before he could finish, Wang Lu pushed open the door and walked out, ignoring the other four.
Because he had a vague and vague guess in his heart, and he really couldn't wait to verify it.
Walking out of the room, Wang Lu came to the garden in the middle of the courtyard, and then walked along the exquisite stone path to another place. The residence that the city consultant arranged for them was in a garden in the city of Zanarkand. The five of them lived in a relatively independent courtyard, but the courtyard was not isolated from the rest of the world. Just a wall away from the courtyard, there was also a unique small courtyard, in which lived almost all the demons of considerable status and strength.
Of course, these people could also be said to be the nearby monitors arranged by the consultant, but Wang Lu couldn't care so much at this time. After he walked out of the courtyard, he came to the door of the neighbor's house and gently knocked on the door.
"That …" After Wang Lu knocked on the door, he remembered that he actually didn't prepare a suitable excuse for a midnight visit, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I'm here to check the water meter."
Of course, there was no response from the door.
Wang Lu sighed, kicked the door open, and went straight into the unusual small courtyard.
There were four or five small buildings in the courtyard, which were unique and ingenious. However, Wang Lu didn't have the leisure to appreciate the mystery. Instead, with a tap of his foot, his figure soared into the air and arrived at the roof of a small building in the middle of the building. His figure then fell down and broke the roof.
The location that Wang Lu chose happened to be the bedroom. According to the habit of the demons of the New Demon Realm to hide in the room to rest when the wind of destruction came, this should be the time for them to sleep.
However, when Wang Lu landed on the ground, he saw that there was no one on the bed, only an open quilt … First, he kicked the door, then he broke the roof, so even a mortal should have some reaction. However, this demon race expert whose strength was comparable to a Daoist Master of Yuanying Stage actually didn't have any reaction!
"… Really no one?"
Wang Lu sighed, jumped out of the bedroom, stood on the roof, and looked into the distance.
The entire Zanarkand was now shrouded in thick darkness. With Wang Lu's eyesight, he couldn't see the scene more than a hundred meters away. Similarly, he couldn't feel any vitality within a hundred meters, as if he was in a dead city … Just a few minutes ago, this city was still noisy and crowded.
And at this moment, Wang Lu suddenly felt a slight chill in his heart, as if danger was approaching, so he no longer wasted time looking for people. Things had come to this point, what should be seen had been seen, next … let's go back first.
After returning to their own courtyard, Qiong Hua and others did not rest, but fell into a dispute over the problem of the black tide. For this strange scene, everyone had their own guesses, but no one could come up with a reliable explanation. It was purely the immortals.
Seeing Wang Lu enter the house, Zhou Mumu got up and asked, "How is it?"
Listening to Zhou Mumu's question, it was obvious that she also realized that Wang Lu went out with a clear purpose, not just for a casual stroll. So Wang Lu sighed and said, "Unexpected."
Then he told in detail what he had seen and heard, and it suddenly surprised everyone.
"Everyone disappeared!?"
"If I remember correctly, just when I came back from the food stall, I saw the family in the neighboring building. They were arguing about their children's participation in the Higher Magic Education Zanarkand Unified Exam. After that, I haven't seen them go out … When the wind of destruction comes, they won't go out randomly, but when I broke the door just now, I didn't see anyone."
"… It can't be that they deliberately put on a show to deceive us and sneak away when people are not paying attention." Zhou Mumu shook her head, puzzled. "But if that's not the case … Could it be that someone took this opportunity to murder him?"
But speaking of this, Zhou Mumu could feel the absurdity of it herself.
"Obviously, the mysterious disappearance of the city people is related to the wind of destruction. This is the first time we have experienced the wind of destruction in the new demon world, but for the locals, it has been a tradition that has lasted for two thousand years. So the best way now is to wait until tomorrow morning to see if the people who disappeared will come back again. "
Will the people who disappeared come back again?
"If possible, it is best to monitor them closely, but … if they really come back out of thin air and see us uninvited guests trespassing, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, so let's wait here quietly for now."
"… Well, it seems that we can only wait and see first."
In the middle of the night, the five chiefs only felt that time was unprecedentedly long, and as time went by, the darkness outside the window seemed to become thicker.
… Could it be that outside the city wall of Zanarkand, there was really a raging black tide? The horrible scene of the night of hundreds of ghosts in the West Mountain black tide was still fresh in their memory. Even far away, they could hear the whispers of the dead. But now there was only absolute silence in their ears …
The five people waited for a long time with their own questions.
Finally, a ray of golden light came from outside the window. The thick darkness had disappeared, and the clear sky returned to the new demon world.
At the same time, the neighbor in the next courtyard screamed, "Oh my god, why is the roof broken!?"
After that, the whole city began to regain its vitality. The voices of thousands of demons gathered together, noisy and clamorous. Compared with the absolute silence last night, it seemed abrupt.
"Then …"
After waiting for an entire night, the five First Leaders finally saw the answer they were looking for. However, the answer was truly inconceivable.
"If I'm not mistaken, the phenomenon we see is that when the wind of destruction arrives, all the people in Zanarkand will disappear. Then, when the wind of destruction is extinguished, the disappeared people will suddenly reappear."
"It doesn't make sense, but it seems that this is the truth." Qiong Hua also sighed, "The new demon world is really a dreamlike place. There are too many things that can't be explained with normal logic."
"Really? I feel that the logic line is getting clearer and clearer. If we use a jigsaw as an analogy, now there are only one or two pieces left to complete the whole jigsaw. "
Wang Lu said, clenching the demon jade that symbolized the supreme of the demon world in his hand.
But … Although there were only one or two pieces left to complete the jigsaw, how long would it take to gather these one or two pieces?
On this point, even Wang Lu himself did not have enough assurance.
And just when Wang Lu was thinking about how to speed up the progress to find the last clue. The clue came to him.
"Haha, I'm here to disturb you again!"
Outside the courtyard, the guard captain Aba's hearty laughter came leisurely.
Opening the door, Wang Lu saw the bright smiling face of the demon, "Today I am still entrusted by Sir Advisor, but this time I came to give you something."
"Give something?"
"Tickets!" Aba laughed and took out five talisman-like pieces of paper from the bag, "Tickets for the first game of the Immortal Cup Lightning Ball League!"
"Immortal Cup, Lightning Ball League?"
Aba nodded, "Yes, Lightning Ball, the most popular game in Zanarkand and even the entire new demon world. Our Zanarkand team has always been a powerhouse in the new demon world. This time, the first game ceremony of the league will also be held here. At that time, even the demon king will be present. During this period, all the people in Zanarkand who can buy tickets will buy tickets to watch. But I forgot that you guys still know nothing about this. You almost missed this annual event! "
"… The demon king will also be present? Interesting. "Wang Lu said softly, then took the tickets from Aba.
"Thank you, we will definitely go and watch."
