The elf elder quickly left the temple, and the door was closed again without noticing Suellen on the other side.

Su Lun still hid behind the pillar and did not dare to move around. He breathed a sigh of relief when there was no movement around for a period of time. If the elf elder did not leave, he would be exposed.

"What's going on with the statue?"

Su Lun glanced at the tall elf statue. According to the information he had, all creatures in this world would turn into unconscious souls and enter the shadow world after death. There should be no consciousness remaining in reality.

Could it be some kind of bloodline ability?

Su Lun thought in his heart that he would not stay too long and immediately left the temple.

There are all kinds of strange bloodline abilities in the world, and among them there may be bloodline abilities that allow souls to remain in reality.

But one thing is certain, the tall elf statue should not be able to actively observe the outside world, otherwise he will be discovered when entering the temple.

Su Lun left the gathering place of high elves before it was fully light. As long as he left the forest and reached outside the elves' territory, he didn't have to worry about being exposed.

He passed the tree men who were about to wake up and came to the outside of the forest.

"It's too dangerous inside the Elf Temple. It's not easy to find information from ancient times."

Su Lun thought that it might take a long time to get the information from the ancient times because he was looking at it secretly. It would be much easier if he entered the Elf Temple openly.

He thought for a while, if he continued to secretly enter the Elf Temple, it would be dangerous and difficult to get the random things, so he might as well think of other ways. He didn't want to waste time on something with little hope.

He once turned into a frost giant and blended into the tribe of frost giants, but it was not that simple to blend into the tribe of high elves.

High elves are smarter and more alert than giants. Putting aside the issue of whether they can obtain elven blood, even if they can obtain elven blood, it is very likely that they will be found to be fake.

He also had no way to find the lone high elves to extract blood. The sudden absence of a clan member could easily arouse the suspicion of these high elves.

Su Lun thought for a long time. The method of pretending to be a high elf could only be used as a backup. It might be easier to find a way to gain the trust of the high elf.

Because this is an uninhabited place, Suellen built a temporary residence using the surrounding trees, and would investigate the Elf Temple and the surroundings every day.

Although the elven temple would most likely contain the information he wanted from ancient times, he wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket.

This is the Southern Continent, and both the living environment and species are different from those on the Eastern Continent.

The Eastern Continent is still dominated by humans, and there are very few intelligent races other than humans. The Southern Continent is a new area. The world map in Su Lun's hand only depicts the outline of the Southern Continent and the gathering places of the more famous races. There are no More detailed records.

In other words, besides the high elves, there may be other races with a long history, and he may be able to get the information he wants from these races.

A few days later, on the coast of the southern continent.

Su Lun stood next to the coast. In front of him was the black sea water, which was becoming increasingly turbid due to pollution.

He has not discovered any races other than elves in the past few days, but he has discovered the source of ocean pollution.

A dark river flows black water into the sea all the time. The pollution of the ocean is caused by this river.

These contaminations were related to the Shadow Realm, but he didn't know the specifics.

Su Lun walked along the river. There were almost no living things in the river, and even if there were, they were just surviving. No normal living thing could survive in this polluted water flow.

These pollutions can affect living things. If the living creatures in the water have certain blood vessels, these blood vessels will be activated.

The strange snake he encountered when he first came to the Southern Continent was probably a creature created due to pollution.

Su Lun kept moving forward, and the source of these polluted rivers was also in a forest, but it was not in the same direction as the forest where the elves were.

Soon after, Suellen came to the depths of the forest, an area full of huge rocks.

A river flows through the boulders, and its source is inside a cave.

Su Lun frowned when he saw the situation ahead, because Xina was also in front, and there were several giant eagles around.

Because he did not take the initiative to cover his aura, Xina quickly discovered him.

Xina seemed to be patrolling the surroundings. She quickly spotted Suellen while sitting on the back of the giant eagle, and immediately flew towards Suellen.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Xina fell in front of Su Lun and kept looking around.

Because of her job, she needs to patrol around, so she often sees Su Lun, so it is not surprising that Su Lun would appear here.

Seeing that the other party still looked arrogant, Su Lun said directly: "This is not your territory, why should I tell you."

He is here to investigate the situation, not to waste time.

Xina was a little angry when she heard this. It was the first time she met someone like Su Lun who didn't obey her orders.

But she was used to it. She glanced at the cave in the distance and asked Su Lun, "Do you want to enter that cave? I advise you not to go there. The elders have stipulated that all elves cannot go near that cave."

She saw Su Lun's goal this time, so she admonished him.

She was also very curious about the inside of the cave, but with the elder's order, she did not dare to break in privately.

Su Lun heard this and asked, "Do any of you know what the pollution is like here?"

The other party lives around here and it is impossible to know anything about the situation here. Moreover, these pollutions have affected the lives of elves.

Xina's face became serious when she heard this. She thought for a while and said: "The elders got some ancient spells from their ancestors. It is said that they can increase the strength of high elves, but they didn't expect that they happened to summon the silt of the shadow world, causing Everything around here is polluted.”

"Since then, elves have come out every day to clean up the pollution, but the effect is not very good."

She said and sighed. The pollution here is very harmful to the elves. The sooner it is removed, the better, but it has no effect now.

Su Lun frowned when he heard this. The situation here was somewhat similar to that of the dark elves in the Eastern Continent, but the method was changed. The result was exactly the same as those of the dark elves, they all came into contact with the shadow world.

But the high elves are not dark elves. The dark elves are related to the Shadow Realm, so it is very reasonable to open the door to the Shadow Realm to gain power. The high elves have nothing to do with the Shadow Realm. No matter what, the Shadow Realm is not good for the high elves.

Su Lun continued to ask Xina: "Who is the ancestor you are talking about?"

He guessed that the ancestors the other party was talking about should be the statues in the elven temple, but he didn't understand why the elves' ancestors would let the elves come into contact with the shadow world.

"The ancestors are the dead elf leaders. These leaders will leave a thought after their death. The elf elders do things based on the leader's thoughts." Xina explained.

She only knew this, but she didn't know the specific situation at all, and she didn't understand that things from the shadow world would appear around here.

Su Lun nodded, he probably understood a little bit.

However, this still cannot explain why the ancestor's order caused such a large area of ​​pollution.

Judging from what Xina said, it all has something to do with that elf elder.

Su Lun glanced at the cave at the source of the river. Nothing could be seen from the outside. If he wanted to know the situation, he had to go inside.

He walked directly towards the cave.

Seeing this, Xina immediately stopped her and said, "The elder said it's very dangerous inside, so it's best not to go in."

She reminded Su Lun on the side that although she didn't like Su Lun, she didn't want Su Lun to die like this.

Su Lun shook his head and said: "I am not an elf, so I don't need to listen to the elf elders."

After he finished speaking, he continued to walk over.

If people were prohibited from approaching here, it would be much more difficult for him to get in. Fortunately, there are no elf guards here.

Upon hearing this, Xina knew that she couldn't stop Su Lun unless she used special means.

Su Lun said as he walked: "If you want to solve the pollution here, you must go in and take a look. If you don't want to solve it, you can stay outside."

Xina was stunned. She knew that Su Lun was right. If she didn't go in to check, she would be unable to do anything about the pollution here.

She has thought of various ways to solve the pollution here, but they all treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. If the source of the pollution is not solved, the pollution will never be eliminated.

She used to think that the elf elders could quickly solve the pollution here, but now the more the pollution spreads, the wider the scope of the pollution, which means that the elf elders have no good solution.

She also wanted to enter the cave to check the situation, but due to the elf elder's ban, she did not dare to go in casually.

Su Lun has arrived at the entrance of the cave. The cave is very big. Except for the polluted river water, you can still walk on both sides of the cave.

There is a putrid smell constantly emitting from the inside of the cave. The smell here is worse than outside, and the degree of pollution is also higher. It can be determined that this is the source of the pollution.

As he was about to enter the cave, Xina ran over immediately.

"I'll go in with you," she said.

After she finished speaking, she asked the giant eagle to stay outside and follow her.

Su Lun nodded slightly when he saw this. He could see that the other party was thinking about the elves as a group.

However, he still asked: "Are you going to violate the elf elders' prohibition?"

In the society of high elves, the orders of the elders must be obeyed. No matter whether the order is right or wrong, there are very few elves who can disobey the orders of the elders.

When Xina heard this, she stared at Su Lun fiercely, and said in a slightly threatening voice: "Very few people come here, and the elf elders only come here in a long time. You'd better not tell anything about me."

As long as no one tells it, no one will know whether Xina has entered the cave.

Suellen nodded, and he and Xina walked deeper into the cave.

Because it is a cave, many places may be very dangerous. If you encounter danger, you must avoid it.

There was some darkness in the cave, so Su Lun lit a torch and slowly walked deeper into the cave.

This cave is a bit like a cave. It gets deeper and deeper as you go forward, and it looks a bit weird.

Xina followed closely behind. She suddenly regretted following her because it was very dark and weird here. The only thing she could do in the end was that she walked into the cave without making any preparations, so she could only follow Su Lun closely and borrow the opportunity. Look at the surrounding situation with the light from Selun's torch.

The further she advanced, the more scared she became, because the sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time around her, and the echo was extremely loud, and even small movements would be amplified to the extreme.

She is not timid, but she is inevitably nervous and frightened in this unfamiliar situation.

Su Lun looked at Xina behind and was speechless. Xina now was exactly the same as before, with a completely different personality and without the arrogant aura before.

If a monster came out now, Xina would definitely be scared to death.

Su Lun was not as scared as Xina, but he was still on guard, and his hands were already filled with cold air. As long as an opponent rushed out, he could immediately defend himself.

Soon after, Su Lun slowly reached the depths of the cave, an underground cave filled with lake water. They had reached the end of the cave.

At this time, the surrounding candles were suddenly lit, and the candlelight illuminated the entire cave, including the path Su Lun entered.

"What's going on now? Why are there so many candles on the surrounding walls?"

Xina was very surprised when she saw this. The sudden light allowed her to see the gold around her, but she also discovered something irreversible.

She remembered that the elf elders only came here occasionally, and the elf elders should not waste their energy on arranging candles around them.

Su Lun also felt a little strange. He didn't speak and just stood there waiting, but he found that there was no one around, and the only ones alive were the two of them.

The layout around here means that people come here often. If they only come here once in a while, with the strength of the elf elders, they should be able to do without lights, but this is obviously not the case here.

Now the entire cave was illuminated extremely brightly, and Su Lun began to search for useful things in the cave.

This is a lake and a source of pollution.

What is in the lake is not water, but a black substance like silt.

Apart from the lake, there was nothing around and it didn't look like anything special.

Su Lun and Xina both frowned and investigated. The situation here was different from what they imagined.

Su Lun had previously speculated that the cause of the pollution was the opening of something like a channel in the shadow world, which caused the silt in the shadow world to appear in reality and pollute the water source.

If it was what he thought, there should be only silt from the shadow world in this lake. All he had to do was remove the silt from the shadow world. But now he found that the silt from the shadow world was just one of the problems.

If it really doesn't work, you can block the lake to prevent the pollution from spreading outside. This is a very simple matter. It is impossible for the elf elders responsible for managing this area not to know this.

Su Lun suddenly had another bad premonition in his heart. The elf elder might have some secrets.
