Chapter 358 The Land Where Time Stands Still 1

"Sir, judging from the current situation, this barrier area of the Winged People seems to be made up of floating sky islands."

Gazing at the small island in front of him that was not very spacious, Gideon Black pondered for a moment before bowing to Leo Ray, "And the place we are at now is just the tip of the iceberg of this barrier area."

"Indeed, that's true." On the other side, Bianca White was half-lying on the grass, parting the weeds and carefully examining the ground.

She sniffed the ground closely and said, "There are giant footprints and traces of long-standing here on the ground.

The smell is also very obvious, all matching the appearance of the black stone giants we encountered earlier."

"That's right. There's also a trace of energy residue from the energy supply magic array.

No wonder those advanced magic puppets summoned earlier could last so long." Scarlett, on the side, was also squatting down and carefully sensing the surroundings before adding her observation.

"I see." Hearing this, Leo Ray gazed at the shifting fog in front of him, his expression thoughtful.

As his understanding of this world deepened, he clearly realized that the spell type most commonly used in this world was summoning non-living golem puppets.

Moreover, most golem puppets could only last for a few days at most before dissipating and turning back into energy particles in the air.

However, a small number of special golem puppets, when continuously supplied with energy, could exist for a long time.

For example, that Tree Guardian Giant with an Elf Core embedded in the ancient Elf Ruins found near Penelope Welbourn's territory.

This core could enable the Tree Guardian Giant to form a set of autonomous energy circulation mechanisms, making it long-lasting and never weakening.

Another example would be the Earth Guardians and Sky Guardians created by the Miracle Building, Guardian Defense Mechanism, in Leo Ray's territory.

According to their own magic powerhouses, these advanced magic puppets, created by the Miracle Building, possess extraordinary stability and endurance.

As long as the energy is sufficient, they can continue to be active and can be stored in storage spaces.

Ordinary golem puppets could not be stored within storage spaces.

"So the black stone giants that appeared in the lake just now were able to last so long because there's an energy supply magic array here, right?" Thinking about this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand now…"

Kara, dressed in armor, showed an enlightened expression and muttered to herself, "So, those black stone giants that attacked us earlier were just the guardians of the entrance to this barrier area, usually in a dormant state.

And because the magical protective barrier at the entrance of the barrier area has naturally weakened and is very unstable after years of disrepair,

That's why they took the opportunity to come to the outside world, right?"

"That's right. These guardians must have been set to automatically attack any non-Winged targets, and when the barrier at the entrance disappears, it connects this place to the outside world.

Therefore, after sensing the presence of a large number of soldiers outside, the black stone giants naturally launched their attack."

On the other side, Scarlett blinked her big eyes, nodded to Kara, and then added her input.

"Alright, now that all our questions have been answered,"

At this moment, Leo Ray slowly withdrew his gaze from the mountain range outside the sky island and said, "Let's continue moving forward."

"Sir, I have another question."

Just as everyone had reorganized their exploration team, the crisp sound of armor clashing was heard, and Kara, looking rather dashing, bowed slightly to Leo Ray, still puzzled, "We are currently in the Winged People's barrier area.

The distances between the sky islands seem very far, so how exactly are we going to reach the next sky island, apart from the magic powerhouses?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Leo Ray smiled slightly and looked at Gideon Black and Scarlett beside him. "I remember hearing from a friend who has dealt with the Winged People before.

Although the Winged People are born with white wings and can fly in the sky, those who haven't undergone their coming-of-age ceremony cannot do so.

Therefore, to facilitate travel between islands for their younger tribespeople, the Winged People are particularly proficient in teleportation magic, right?"

Leo Ray's friend, of course, was Jasper Richardson, the half-elf ancestor.

According to Jasper, the Winged People preferred to study magic due to their naturally lightweight bones and slender body, rather than physical close combat.

As a result, this entire race excels in magic, almost on par with the well-known Elf Tribe, which is also renowned for its mastery of magic.

Moreover, Hero King Caesar, or Traveler King West, who single-handedly established the Coldflame Kingdom, had also mentioned that

the teleportation magic array at the end of the underground square of Dragon's Lair City was created by a Tier 6 expert from the Winged People.

Therefore, teleportation magic is indeed a forte for the Winged People.

"As you said, sir."

Meanwhile, Gideon Black bowed slightly and pointed towards the sun-facing edge of the island as he said, "During my investigation earlier, I came across a dormant teleportation array."
