"Do not laugh!"

The ice dragon flapped its wings angrily, trying to struggle out of the monster's arms: "It's chasing me, and you don't allow me to hit it... let it go!"

"...You can turn back into a human being," Feili said.

The ice dragon immediately changed back to its human form and jumped to the ground quickly. The monster's hand was instantly empty, and with a puzzled whine, it bent down to grab its shrunken toy.

Although it was so big, its voice was weak, like a little milk cat, which made Tess feel a little excited.

But just for a moment - it was so big and ugly, and she didn't want to take it home.

"Someone come and play with it!" Yis yelled and jumped up and down.

Everyone looked at each other secretly, but even Novi, who was ready to work hard and bear no complaints, was still unable to take that step.

"Don't you have that?" Tess gave him an idea, "Charmander! Attack!"

Yis snapped his fingers. A small spark exploded in the air, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a fire dragon not much smaller than the ice dragon. Although it was just a phantom wrapped in eternal fire, it was also very capable of bluffing.

People.

Sure enough, the monster's attention was immediately attracted, and the "fallen out of favor" Is finally was able to stop and take a breath, and finally realized what he had just done.

Even if he couldn't get rid of that guy, he could still build an ice wall to trap it! Why did he let it come over!!... He has never been so embarrassed in his life!

Seeing his face change among various ugly colors, even Terry didn't dare to say anything and silently made way for him.

Yis held his breath and stepped into the pile of weird skeleton toys. They seemed to be placed randomly, but they also had their own rules. For example, those with the same costumes would be placed together, and the largest ones would be placed in the middle. Many skeletons were actually

It was already broken, especially the arms, almost half of which were broken off - the monster's claws were obviously not suitable for putting such a small "toy" into the desired position.

They are squeezed together, mostly because otherwise, they would not be able to sit up at all. They can barely form a circle, but the middle is empty, like a space for something, or like there is

What once was there is gone.

But no matter how strange they looked, Yis didn't feel any necromancy power.

On the contrary, the power beside the lake deep in the cave, and even the entire cave, is extremely... balanced.

Not pure, not powerful, but absolutely stable, as if nothing can break it, and therefore it seems unusually peaceful and peaceful.

He told his companions his feelings and moved the skeletons away one by one, but found nothing useful.

They really are... toys.

"Then come out and let me do it!" Terry was anxiously walking around.

Yis refused: "Is there anything you can discover that I can't?"

"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise." Feili took a deep breath, "Terry, what are you looking for?"

"...Those two Brittans in armor," Terry replied reluctantly, "They must have stored communicators or even recorders on them. And that one, he is a scientist, he can do it anytime, anywhere.

They are all recording his discoveries and speculations..."

Is was standing in front of the armored skeleton, reaching for something and muttering: "Strange, this skeleton is too clean, as if it has been washed... It shouldn't be able to take off their armor, right?"

"

Everything Terry wanted was on the helmet, so Iss simply took off both helmets and threw them to him. One of them was deflated, as if it had been hit hard, so he had to pull it off with its head.

.

"...erased." Terry checked and said with some surprise, "All records have been cleared."

"They are soldiers." Philly said, "Maybe this is a secret mission for them."

Even if you die, you can't leave any news.

Yis jumped over a group of Lachika skeletons that were so crowded that he had no place to stand, and began to search for the scientist.

"They look almost...fresh." He said doubtfully, "They seem to have died at the same time."

"But there was at least a twenty-year difference in the time they entered the fog forest," Novi said.

He paused and then asked: "Has any of you... contacted the Unicorn?"

"...I." Terry said, as if he realized something and suddenly felt a little flustered, "When I first entered the foggy forest, everything was normal."

"...Try again." Philly said.

--They didn't hear back.

"I left an activated beacon in the cabin," Terry said, "but my detector has been disabled..."

Several other people raised their wrists almost at the same time, but in all the light screens, there was no signal that should have been there.

The red dots on the light curtain told them that their detector was not broken.

The cold fear snaked like a snake. Finally, Novi expressed his guess: "I think... we may no longer be in the original space... or time."

For a moment, they were as silent as those pale skeletons.

Then Is jumped up, his white wings spread out from behind, and rushed straight to the small crack above their heads.

"...Back, back!" Fili shouted and jumped away.

He was really impressed by the scene when the two ice dragons crashed into the dwarf mine.

But there was no loud noise of rock cracking above the head - the ice dragon instantly shrank in size as it approached the crack, and directly got out of the gap.

Normally, Tess would be very emotional and excited about this, but at this moment, even she was not in such a mood. The Charmander not far away seemed to have lost control, shrinking little by little like a leak, but soon recovered.

They caught the huge phantom and led the monster further away from them.

Terry stayed for a while and silently continued the work that Is left behind.

He found a voice recorder.

.

The place where the ice dragon flew out was above the clouds and mist. The dazzling white snow peaks not far away, and the golden sea of ​​mist slightly lower... seemed no different from when it came.

But the air was vaguely different—purer, colder.

If you look carefully, the snow lines on those peaks are clearly lower.

The ice dragon circled in a circle and flew straight to the south.

The scope of the fog seemed to be larger... but it didn't look back when it came. It flew away from the fog sea at almost the fastest speed, but it didn't see the small town outside the fog forest.

There were no houses, no patches of red rice fields, no jumping cars running around... It went around in a big circle and only saw a few brightly colored tents gathered together.

Some kind of rough-woven Cheka looked up in surprise as its shadow crossed the steppe, waving its arms and shouting and jumping.

It flies faster and farther... The green grassland is endless, and there are no cities with tall buildings in it.

Indescribable panic rose from the bottom of my heart.

It thought it should fly down and find a Lachika person to ask, but it felt... it seemed that there was no need to ask.

This is still Lachika... but perhaps, it was thousands of years ago.

Binglong was at a loss in his heart.

It never thought that it would fall into such a situation. After all, Ed's lesson was right in front of it. No matter how strong it was, it never dared to challenge the power of "time" - it never thought of traveling through time and space to find Ed as soon as possible.

That might help us find him faster.

So, now, what to do?

It actually couldn't think of anything at all.

Then it remembered that it was luckier than Ed in at least one thing - it still had a companion.

It turned around and flew back.

.

"I don't understand. They clearly disappeared more than 20 years ago... I watched them enter the fog forest, but they were caught later than me... They said they had not been in the fog forest for more than 20 years.

Twenty days…”

"Time is chaotic, everyone's time...or, it's that monster, it can appear in different times, and then bring us here - a fixed point in time. If I can still get out, I may be able to prove it

at this point……"

"There was no way to get out of the cave. We entered the fog... and then returned to the cave. I knew... how could it be so easy..."

"They were trying to get out of here through the crack above their heads, I think... I don't know."

"They left two people behind, and I think they knew they were probably going to fail."

"They crawled out of the crack."

"It captured a Lachika man today...a Lachika man who still lived in the tribal era. He refused to talk to us...he probably didn't understand what we were talking about. His Lachika man

The Ka language is completely different from what we know..."

"... On the thirty-seventh day, there is still no news about the few people who left, and the situation is grim. Fogo turned off his recorder, but charged mine. He said that we must leave some behind.

What……"

"I'm going crazy...I'm probably already crazy. The Rachka guy died because he tried to kill the monster...brave, but stupid, so stupid, how could that be possible? He didn't even have it."
To be continued...
