Chapter 47: Enemy trail

Maya took out a mechanical spider and guided Xiao Chen, Elena and Evelyn towards the corpse.
The corpse, dressed in the wizard's robe of the high elves, fell back to the edge of a cluster of tree roots. There was a wound in the back, and the blood stained the robe.
"It seems to be a high-level wizard under Uncle Nord. How could he be killed here alone?" Elena circled around the body and crouched down to look at his face. "It seems There is also a wound on the face. "
Xiao Chen came forward and turned the body over, and found that the mage ’s eyes and nose were dark, and his eyes were burnt out of shape. "He was attacked by the enemy from the front. It should be a fist-sized high-temperature fireball, directly hit He was on the bridge of his nose. He was probably blind for a moment, and then panicked and stabbed from behind. "
Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the surrounding environment, and then judged: "It should be a sudden attack, and it was the hand of his companion."
"Ah, why?" Elena said quietly.
Xiao Chen walked to the edge of the tree roots and pointed to the scattered spots of blood above him. "You see this blood stain, it should have been splashed when someone was stabbed in the back. So, I judged that he was killed here. There is no trace of fighting around, as a senior mage, as long as the enemy is found, it is impossible to be killed so easily, which shows that he was unprepared when he died, and was killed before he could resist. And from these footprints on the ground, there are still many companions around him, which cannot be done by foreign enemies, then only his companions can do it. "
"Your Excellency Xiao Chen is right, this one on his face should be the Sunfire of the Sunfire priest. And the team sent by General Nord has exactly one Sunfire priest." Evelyn carefully examined the wound Said, "In addition, the wound behind it was caused by the elven sword."
"Kill each other?" Elena asked.
Evelyn stared at the messy footprints on the ground for a moment, and then nodded, "This is a team of six people. This wizard walks in the fifth place. When they came to the roots of this cluster of trees, all the companions before and after happened. In a certain situation, everyone stopped. You see, these deepest footprints are caused by them standing still for a long time.
Evelyn analyzed the traces, and the words suddenly changed. She pointed to a series of footprints and said, "But this mage is different. He walked back and forth to check the situation of these people. When he walked in front of the priest of Yangyan, the priest Already turned into an enemy, he directly hit the mage ’s face with Japanese fire, and blinded him.
She took a step back and pointed to a series of footprints on the other side:
This series of footprints is particularly deep in the heel , The pace is very scattered, it should be that he is not standing steadily, backwards, and back to the root of the tree. At this time, the last warrior also moved, he stabbed the sword on the master ’s back, and then pulled the sword. Blood splashed on the roots of the tree, leaving a trail of blood. After the heart of the mage was pierced, he was hit by the soldier ’s foot and fell directly face down on the root of the tree. He died without persevering. But after killing him, Whether it was the Yangyan priest or the swordsman, all the companions did not care about him at all, but left directly. "
"Generally speaking, even if the positions are different and people have betrayed their former companions, people will not leave without care. The remaining five people here behave like this, it is likely that they will not have much of their will left."
"Could it be said that his companions were all controlled by that voice? Turned into a monster that slaughtered companions?" Elena took a cloth from the storage ring and covered it on the body's face.
"It ’s not surprising that if it was n’t Master Xiao Chen, I might not be able to hold on just now. Although that voice did n’t say what to do with me at the time, I knew very well that as soon as I let go, I would become a complete listener The puppet it commands. "Evelyn said with a lingering heart.
Xiao Chendao said: "Maybe it is because the mage has strong mental strength and resisted the control, so he became a stranger among the people and was killed as a target. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let ’s go back and meet with Dining. . "
At this time, Maya's mechanical spider jumped, and the spider waved its feet together for a while, and ran back quickly.

"This is ..." Elena didn't know.
Xiao Chen patted his thigh, "Oops, they must have been attacked, go!"

After Xiao Chen and the three of them left, Maya continued to investigate the situation around him through a mechanical spider. Dining and Roger guarded her in tandem.
"It's really big here. My spider walked back and forth for about twenty minutes and didn't encounter the border. Although they didn't run fast and walked in a broken line, it was also amazing enough." Maya groaned and suddenly frowned Wrinkled, whispered: "Why, how is the spider at eleven o'clock broken? Shouldn't be, I checked every spider carefully yesterday."
"What's going on?" Di Ning asked. "What did you see? Could it have been attacked?"
"I didn't see anything. As soon as the image that the spider saw was black, it was gone. This happened when there was a malfunction before." Maya took out another spider and was ready to explore there.
Di Ning stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, let the nearby spiders lean over to see."
Due to the large number of spiders released, the distance between the two nearby spiders is not too far away. The spiders in the ten and twelve o'clock directions quickly changed their direction to the position where the eleventh spider lost contact under Maya's order Ran over.
Spider No. 10 got there first, but it hadn't seen the situation of No. 11. It was also dark, and there was no news, but on the No. 12 behind it, a shadow was seen from the No. 10 spider's head. After that, a sword light was drawn.
"Someone in that position! They hacked my spider! I saw it from the last spider." Maya shouted.
"You let the last spider look at the top." Di Ning shouted.
The twelfth spider just raised his head, and saw a man thump like a big bird, his long sword raised, and cut on it. However, before the sacrifice of the twelfth spider, Maya captured the appearance of the man.
"Elf! It's a spider attacking me!"
"Elf?" Dinin stepped back and forth with his chin. "Could it be the missing people? When Elena returns, we will look in that direction."
At this moment, Roger, who was ready to fight, suddenly heard the voice of the bowstring: "enemy attack!" He flew around and threw Maya to the ground. An arrow penetrated his grudge and was nailed to his shoulder blade.
