"You're just leaving like that?"
This sudden sound was like a thunderclap exploding in Eric's ears. He shuddered all over. He never thought that there was a "person" hiding in this hall.
In an instant, his nerves tensed up and he carefully scanned every corner around him.
Shuang Ning keenly noticed Eric's abnormality and asked hurriedly with concern: "Eric, what's wrong?"
Eric did not respond immediately, but quickly released his perception, spreading out in all directions like fine spider silk.
In just a few breaths, Eric's perception had explored the entire hall, but the result made him full of doubts - there was no breath of any living creature in the hall.
Where on earth did this sound come from? Just when he was at a loss for words, the sound rang out again.
This time, Eric finally discovered that the source of the sound was the petrified statue of the elven royal family.
He hurriedly told Shuang Ning about the situation. After hearing it, Shuang Ning looked at the stone statue in disbelief.
At this moment, the voice sounded again: "Don't be surprised, I need you to help me escape. Take me to the center of the secret realm and use the magic circle that operates in the secret realm to break this curse. I will reward you handsomely."
After hearing this, Eric immediately became alert and didn't want to help this elf statue at all.
The reason was simple, she was an elf, while he was a human. Thinking of Master Martin's past entanglement with the elves, he instinctively resisted this request.
Eric ignored the request of the royal elf statue and prepared to leave with Frost Condensation without saying a word.
Just as they were about to step out of the garden, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the hall.
Eric quickly released his senses and after a brief investigation, he discovered that it was a male elf who was rushing towards the garden with an anxious look on his face.
Seeing this, Eric had an idea and wondered whether he could put this elf statue into the space ring.
In a flash, he activated the space ring. In an instant, the ring emitted a soft yet powerful suction magic, steadily pulling the stone statue and slowly moving it into the space ring.
Just as the stone statue was about to be completely stored in the space ring, the clear and majestic voice sounded again, but this time the voice was full of urgency, as if it was making a final struggle.
However, as the stone statue completely sank into the space ring, the sound stopped abruptly and disappeared without a trace.
After Eric collected the elf statue, he took Frost Condensation and ran towards the next place with strong magical fluctuations.
Shortly after they hurriedly left, a cry of disbelief suddenly came from the hall behind them. The sound echoed in the empty hall, seeming particularly abrupt.
At this moment, Eric and Shuang Ning had already focused all their attention on the road ahead, rushing towards their destination at lightning speed.
While on the road, Eric keenly noticed that a complete ecosystem had quietly formed inside this secret place.
Various strange plants live together, and occasionally you can catch a glimpse of some creatures you have never seen before wandering among them.
Soon, they stopped in front of a huge and majestic waterfall.
Eric clearly felt that there seemed to be several extremely powerful magical fluctuations hidden behind the waterfall, but for a moment, he could not tell what they were.
After a little thought, he resolutely walked behind the waterfall with Shuang Ning.
The space behind the waterfall was decorated in a very simple manner, lacking any luxurious carvings. The two walked in cautiously, and Eric soon discovered eight stone statues placed in different directions around them.
These stone statues have strange postures, and each one performs a unique movement.
After a careful inspection, Eric was surprised to find that these stone statues seemed to be in a state of cultivation, and the powerful magical fluctuations that he sensed were continuously emanating from these stone statues.
Then, just like before, a voice came faintly from the stone statue.
But Eric didn't care what they said at all. He decisively put the stone statue into the space ring.
Afterwards, he carefully looked around the space, and after confirming that there was nothing good worth taking away, he headed towards the next place with strong magical fluctuations without hesitation.
However, when Eric and Shuang Ning hurried over, they found that quite a few people had already gathered there. From a distance, they could see the crowd was noisy and seemed to be arguing fiercely about something.
Eric and Shuang Ning approached quietly and finally heard what they were saying. It turned out that everyone was accusing the elves of breaking the rules. It was said that several elven swordsmen with sky-level combat power had already infiltrated the secret realm.
At this moment, everyone was gathered at the entrance of a hall that looked like a military camp, arguing endlessly.
Eric and Shuang Ning did not want to get involved in this dispute. They looked at each other, flashed like ghosts, and quietly entered the hall.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, Eric concluded that this was indeed a military camp. The furnishings and arrangements inside were no different from those in the outside world. After entering the camp, Eric saw many stone statues that looked like soldiers. They looked panicked and seemed to be running back and forth.
An elven army has been assembled on the training ground, with an elven commander standing on the podium, apparently conducting pre-war mobilization.
Looking at these lifelike elf stone statues, Eric couldn't help but recall the grievances that Master Martin had suffered from the elf princess before, and a sense of injustice suddenly surged in his heart.
At that moment, Eric was no longer polite. Regardless of whether he could take the things in the military camp or not, he put them all into the space ring.
After a busy period, he filled thirty high-level space rings. Afterwards, he carefully checked again to ensure that nothing was missed, and then he left the place with Shuang Ning, feeling satisfied.
Outside the military camp hall, after fierce bargaining and infighting, the group finally reached an agreement on the distribution of interests. Everyone's face was filled with unconcealable excitement, and they were ready to enter the hall with joy, as if countless treasures were waiting for them inside.
However, when they stepped into the hall, everyone was stunned.
At this moment, the hall looked as if it had just been built. It was empty inside. Apart from a few lonely pillars and the floor underfoot, there was nothing to see.
The elven swordsmen widened their eyes with a look of disbelief.
They were extremely anxious and hurriedly pushed away the two people blocking their way, flying towards the interior of the hall like a gust of wind, their eyes full of anxiety and confusion.
The people behind him looked at each other, at a loss for a moment, but they were unwilling to return empty-handed, so they quickened their pace and quickly caught up with the elven swordsman, wanting to find out what was going on.
