Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 711 Sleeping Place
Dark Star, Old Continent.

A strong wind exuding a strong smell of decay swept across the earth, carrying a sky full of dark brown crystal dust. Under the depressing sky, one could see carrion-eating pyroxene beasts wandering the earth, looking for the remains of giant beasts to gnaw on.

All kinds of roars and groans echoed in the air filled with black and brown crystal dust. Looking around, there were countless similar scenes in the desolate wilderness.

This is the old continent of Dark Glow Star. After humans and Inhumans left, it became a paradise for pyroxene crystal clusters and giant beasts. It was shattered by war and abandoned because of the war.

"I say...Brother Black Sword, are you sure the place we are looking for is really here?"

A hesitant voice accompanied by a foul wind sounded under the sky. In a wilderness that seemed to have nothing but pyroxene crystal clusters, Randy saw layers of slowly rotating spells in his pupils. After carefully checking the surroundings several times and finding no problems, he asked Xin Lailai suspiciously.

As for the White Mage on the side, he found a place to sit down very calmly, as if he didn't care about the surrounding situation at all. This kind of problem that requires a large range and high-precision perception ability to discover has nothing to do with him as a technical system.

"nature."

Xin Lailai, who had already entered the state of elf assimilation and was maintaining the Star Luo domain to the greatest extent, held a soul storage crystal in her hand and answered calmly. Then she closed her eyes, her mental power surged, and she manipulated the surrounding earth elements, which were much more violent than those on the Dark Shine Continent, to gather towards the ground beneath her feet.

Buzz, rumble—! !

The next second, a deafening buzzing sound rang out, and the ground beneath the three people's feet began to tremble violently. A large number of flying pyroxene beasts flew up in groups from the distant mountains. For a moment, all kinds of noisy sounds came from the surroundings, and finally...

Boom!

With an unusually dull thud, the ground in front of them suddenly collapsed with a bang, and in Randy's astonished eyes, it turned into a huge pit with a radius of hundreds of meters.

“It’s actually empty…”

Randy looked at the scene in front of him and murmured. In his perception, the ground below should be solid normal rock formation.

"This is some kind of illusion created using elemental magic, and it's of a very high level. The person who created it should have a spell level of at least Grandmaster LV.30."

Xin Lailai spoke, looking at the actual scene in front of him which was obviously different from his perception, and a strange look also appeared in his eyes.

Just as he said, the level of illusion magic in this area is already very high. It can be said that if he did not have a soul master with perception characteristics on his side, with his current level of spells, he might not be able to detect the magic hidden thousands of meters deep in the earth.

Sure enough, there was probably a civilization that reached the fourth or even fifth level in the Dark Glory Continent in the past...

Xin Lailai looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he closed his eyes, carefully checked the scene in the pit with the Star Luo Domain, and said to Randy and the White Demon:

"There is an altar for teleportation below. There are no risks around. You can go down directly."

As he spoke, Xin Lailai took a step forward, with the dark scales and air feathers on his back spread out, stirring up a gust of wind, and then he jumped towards the dark pit which was more than 3,000 meters deep. Randy and Bai Mo, who were standing by, saw this, looked at each other, nodded slightly, and without saying anything, they also jumped one after another. Under the leadership of Xin Lailai, they fell to the bottom of the pit at an extremely fast speed.

Boom——! !

Finally, with three dull thuds, the three of them landed steadily on a huge platform filled with pyroxene crystals. The leader, Xin Lailai, first threw out a high-power lighting lamp to illuminate the entire altar clearly, then looked at Randy on the side and said:

"How about it, Brother Randy, are you sure you can fix it?"

According to the hidden memory content he read from the soul fragments of the ancestral beast provided by the White Demon, the Gusa Federation relied on this altar to find the sleeping place of the old civilization where the ancestral beast was located, and from there obtained the training methods of the old civilization's warrior system, and learned many ancient secrets of the Tower of Order and the Huiyuan Sect.

After discovering this place, because they were worried that the people from the Tower of Order and the Huiyuan Sect would also find the sleeping place in the mezzanine space, the Inhuman who discovered this place at that time destroyed the teleportation array after taking out the essence that sealed the soul of the ancestral beast, and kept the existence of these things as the top secret of the entire Gusa Federation, and only the head of the War King of each generation was qualified to know.

In fact, according to the normal process, if you want to discover this place, you should first join the Gusa Federation, gain a lot of reputation, and after being recognized by the Gusa Federation, you can then accept a series of hidden tasks from the Head of the War King, and finally you will learn about the altar left behind by this old civilization.

However, due to the greed of the three major forces, the war kings of the Gusa Alliance were chopped to death by the white magic without even leaving any last words. Even their souls were eaten up by the opponent's evil spirits. Therefore, normally, this altar should have been impossible to be discovered.

Unfortunately, the existence of external echelons can never be judged by common sense.

Even the deceased leader of the Gusa Alliance's war kings could never have imagined that there would be a humanoid monster in this world that feeds on the essence and soul of Overlord-level units, let alone that the other party could actually cooperate with another foreign-level team that was supposed to be the enemy, and use the other party's power to crack the secrets deliberately hidden by the Gusa Federation.

"Well... it's a little troublesome, but it's still within my capabilities. I need you two to help me. This teleportation array is very large. If I'm alone, I'm afraid there are some places that I can't take care of in time."

"No problem." "Whatever."

"Very good, then let's get started. Brother Black Sword, you will be responsible for helping me observe these nodes. If there is any problem, please tell me immediately, or follow the methods I will explain later."

"As for Lao Bai... I need you to help me set up a formation that is simply used to transform space energy. The more powerful the better."

As Randy spoke, he quickly sent the imprinted formation diagram, each node, and matters that required attention to the two on the imprint interface, then sat cross-legged on the altar and began to operate calmly.

Om-! !

Wisps of spatial fluctuations spread out, and a large amount of spatial energy was transformed by the formation arranged by the White Demon. Under Randy's guidance, it filled the teleportation array patterns engraved in the altar. Xin Lailai, according to Randy's instructions, used the Star Luo Field to grasp all the nodes that might have problems in his mind.

"OK~! Done! Get ready! The road might be a little shaky~!"

Ten minutes later, Randy grinned and spoke confidently, while pressing the altar at his feet, activating the huge teleportation array that had been repaired in the altar, causing it to release an extremely large spatial fluctuation that enveloped the three of them, and then...

A huge shockwave, similar to the one Xin Lailai had experienced before, rang out, shaking his vision violently. The scene before his eyes suddenly became as chaotic as an abstract oil painting.

boom--! !

Finally, accompanied by a violent collision, the scene in front of the three people returned to normal with a bang, and looking around, they found that the dark brown rock wall originally covered with pyroxene crystal clusters had disappeared. Instead, they were standing on a city wall, with a sky that seemed to be dyed red by blood, and a magnificent city standing under the dark red sky.

The city wall, which was over a thousand meters high, twisted and wound, extending from the area under their feet all the way to the far end of the sight.

Huge towers full of metallic textures rose from the ground within the city walls, like standing guards, guarding both sides of the huge staircase road. Tall buildings like those for giants to live in were distributed in an orderly manner behind the towers, forming circles around them, dividing the entire city into several layers from the inside to the outside. In the center of the city, there was a magnificent scene that was enough to take your breath away -

A huge dark brown storm was circling in the city, shattering the entire center of the giant city. Rings of magic bands were slowly rotating around the storm, freezing the storm and the wreckage of buildings that were blown into the air. In the center of the storm, a dark hole that made people feel creepy at first sight was quietly suspended in the eye of the storm, exuding an extremely strong ominous aura.

[Tip: It has been detected that the pioneer has entered the hidden area of ​​this world "Old Continent·Sleeping Land", the current regional danger level: LV.10~LV.13 (because the world-class unit·??? is being sealed, the regional danger level has been "super·hugely" reduced)]

"Is that... the hole in the abyss?"

The cold reminder sounded, bringing Xin Lailai back to his senses. He looked at the dark hole in the dark brown storm and murmured uncertainly.

"It looks like it, yes."

The White Demon at the side spoke, and one could see that the eye exposed outside the bandage was also filled with solemnity.

Hole of the Abyss.

As members of the park's special ranks and external echelons, they naturally knew what this term meant.

"Damn it, why do I suddenly feel like I've lost out by taking this mission... We were supposed to bring back a world with only remnants of the Abyss invasion, so why the hell did we bring back a complete Abyss Hole?"

At the altar, Randy started to curse and greet. After a long while, he suddenly fell silent. After a long silence, he spoke:

"So, those guys in this world thousands of years ago just held on to a hole in the abyss and managed to survive in this godforsaken place for thousands of years? They even suppressed the hole in the abyss to the point where it was almost silent? And the guys on the ground were happily fighting among themselves for hundreds of years, and even brought countless blood sacrifices to this place?"

"Ah."

"Tsk, why do I suddenly feel that I was too gentle before?"

Randy clicked his tongue and muttered unhappily, while the White Mage and Xin Lailai beside him did not answer. They just stared quietly at the abyss hole in the distance, which was so quiet that it did not conform to the descriptions in various books at all.

For them, who are in the outer-level team, entering a world eroded by the abyss is no longer a rare thing. And because they have witnessed one world after another fall to the invasion of the abyss, they know better than anyone what kind of price and sacrifice the scene before their eyes means.

"Let's go and see if there's anything left."

Finally, Xin Lailai spoke, and Bai Mo and Randy nodded slightly. Without saying much, they jumped towards the bottom of the city wall together with Xin Lailai. With a lifeless sound of breaking through the air, they landed steadily on the huge stairs leading to the center of the giant city.

Wow——! !

A large amount of dark brown crystal dust was swept up from the steps due to the noise of the three people landing, and finally fell back to the ground silently. Looking around, the whole huge city seemed to have fallen into a long sleep. From the steps in front of them to the high-rise buildings and streets in the distance, there was no human figure in sight. It was as quiet as a silent ghost town.

"Will you go together, or explore separately?"

"Let's go together, so as to avoid any unexpected situations."

"it is good."

Xin Lailai nodded slightly, unfolded the Star Field, changed its coverage area into a narrow fan-shaped area with himself as the starting point to extend the detection distance, then selected a direction, and with a thought, took in all the scenes within 10km in that direction into his mind, and began searching with Ling Yuzi at an extremely fast speed.

As expected, there is nothing left...

Ten minutes later, after exploring the area within a radius of 10km, Xin Lailai looked at Bai Mo and Randy beside him and said:

"Let's go, there's nothing around here."

As he spoke, Xin Lailai took off from the ground and flew towards the direction he had initially detected. Seeing this, Bai Mo and Randy quickly followed.

Ten minutes...twenty minutes...thirty minutes...

Time passed bit by bit, and the three of them explored all the way from the outer city to the inner city, sweeping through all the places where valid data or information might exist. However, each time they could only harvest waste paper or documents that had long since rotted and smelled due to the corrosion of time and pyroxene energy.

"Ok?"

Several hours later, Xin Lailai, whose face showed a hint of fatigue due to opening the Star Luo field with high precision for a long time, suddenly moved his eyes, as if he had discovered something, and suddenly accelerated. Seeing this, Bai Mo and Randy, who were following behind him, their expressions moved and they quickly followed.

Peng——! !

The piercing sound of breaking air passed through the huge city that was so quiet that it made people uneasy. Finally, Xin Lailai suddenly stopped on a huge building shaped like a church. With a dive, he landed steadily in front of the tightly closed door. He pressed his palm on the metal door and exerted a little force.

Buzz~!

There was a dull sound of a door being pushed open, and a large amount of dust and haze fell from the door. As the door opened, the scene behind it gradually appeared in front of the people.

"This is……"

Randy, who followed, was slightly stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. In his sight, statues were standing on both sides of the dark carpet. Below the statues, lines of ancient text were engraved there, recording the past lives of the owners of these statues.

"It seems that sometimes this most primitive recording method is useful."

Xin Lailai said, after looking around the scene in the hall, his eyes fell on one of the statues, he looked at the words engraved on it and read them quickly.
