The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters.

Chapter 198 The Secret of the Relief
The murals in the underground palace record the legend about the beast tide.

Through the forest spirit, Yu Ke learned that the instrument to suppress the beast tide was a bronze tripod.

Because he was interested in it, Yu Ke studied the contents of the murals in his spare time.

The bird-man with two wings on its back plays the role of an ally of the human race from beginning to end, and its form is not a simple bird-headed human body.

If anything, some of them look like humanoid birds and beasts with wings. At least on the murals, they generally have sharp claws. Most of the time, their bodies are naked, with only a piece of cloth tied around their waists to barely cover them.

This alien race not only assisted the human race in resisting the beast tide, but also provided the skills of casting bronze tripods.

Ordinarily, they should be enshrined and sacrificed as allies of the human race, just like the bronze statues in the ruins that sealed the beast tide.

However, the photos sent by Ye Yingtong showed the opposite situation.

The stone pillars covered with broken chains and the bird figure in the center are hard not to think of words like binding and suppression.

"Are there anything carved on the surface of those stone pillars?"

Looking through the newly sent photos, Yu Ke noticed that the surfaces of some of the photographed stone pillars were not flat.

"The expedition team also found many reliefs with strange contents on the stone pillars. I need time to sort out the photos, figure out the information described in them, put them together, and send them to you in the evening."

Ye Yingtong has just returned to the camp after completing the inspection mission, and it will take time to sort out the information.

Yu Ke knew that the expedition team had just experienced a fog incident in the mountains and must be exhausted now, so he did not rush Ye Yingtong.

Before ending the communication, Yu Ke specifically asked Ye Yingtong when he would come back.

Whether it was the Qing Ming mask or the Birdman statue in the photo, Yu Ke was very interested. It was not very convenient to communicate through mobile phone messages, so he wanted to wait for Ye Yingtong to meet up with her after she returned to Beijing and Hangzhou, and also gave her a few gifts. A spiritual fruit as reward.

"I'm sorry, I won't be returning to Beijing-Hangzhou City in the short term. We need to continue exploring the ruins here. It is said to be a very important task. The instructor has already agreed and said it is difficult to refuse."

"Okay, maybe we can meet in the mountains then."

There was no need for Ye Yingtong to say anything. Yu Ke guessed that the sudden appearance of fog should have alerted the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

Ever since he learned that the most important bronze tripod was missing from the ruins that suppressed the beast tide, Fang Zhengshou must have mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources to search other ruins in the mountains, trying to find clues. The importance of the expedition team at this time need not be overstated.

After hanging up the communication, Yu Ke did not stay outside the forest for too long, but went to the temple and underground palace again to view the murals.

There is no doubt that the Birdman is inextricably linked to the casting of the bronze tripod. The reliefs on the stone pillars are very likely to record relevant content. Yu Ke wants to compare it with the content on the murals, and maybe he will discover something new. clue.

It was already evening when we returned to the temple and underground palace.

Yu Ke was not in a hurry to enter the underground palace. Instead, he lit a fire and barbecued meat in the mountains, holding meat skewers and drinks to enjoy the sunset at the top of the tree canopy.

When the sky gets dark, the bright moon hangs high in the night sky.

Yu Ke sat cross-legged on a futon made of vines woven between the canopy of hundreds of meters high, and under the care of the forest spirit, he used the mirror of fantasy to conduct a new round of visualization of the dragon.

But this time it is not for the purpose of anchoring the mind, but for trying to understand the power of the dragon more deeply through visualization, so that the dragon bloodline strengthened by the seed of disaster in his body can exert more powerful strength.

By the way, I am waiting for information from Ye Yingtong.

Although Yu Ke's mobile phone was specially replaced, it was still difficult to receive information in the depths of Jinghu Forest. Only in the sky above this jungle could information be received through satellites in the first place.

I waited until eight o'clock in the evening when my cell phone sounded a message notification tone.

Yu Ke picked up the wind chime, jumped down from the tree crown with it, and entered the underground palace behind the temple again.

The light cyan fluorescent group created by the forest spirit illuminated the murals and reliefs in the underground palace. Yu Ke opened the information sent by Ye Yingtong.

The ancients liked to record some major events in this way. The situation in the underground palace and the ruins are similar.

Calling in a ray of breeze, the dust accumulated between the stone walls was blown away.
Walking from left to right, Yu Ke's eyes wandered between the walls full of murals and reliefs, looking down at his phone from time to time.

It turned out that his guess was correct.

The birdman that appeared on the rock wall of the underground palace and the statue that Ye Yingtong found in the ruins were indeed the same existence.

The relief stories carved on the rock walls and stone pillars are the most direct proof. Through comparison, Yu Ke discovered that the content on the underground palace murals also appeared on the surface of the stone pillars.

However, as the comparison continued, Yu Ke finally discovered why they were both birdmen, but their states in two places were completely different.

The stone pillars of the ruins do record the birdmen helping the human race, but this is only a small part of it. Other stone pillars also record other contents, and the murals in the underground palace only record the birdmen helping the human race as aliens.

The difference between the two is that the former uses foreign races as the main body in the description, while the latter uses the human race as the main body.

Ye Yingtong is truly gifted in the field of ruin inspection. In just a few hours, he pieced together a clear story from the blurry and messy relief images on the stone pillars, and also made annotations.

To put it simply, after the alien race to which Birdman belonged brought the technology of forging bronze tripods to the ancients, they also led the ancients to find a mineral vein, from which the materials for making the bronze tripod were obtained.

Judging from the situation described in the relief, the mine was obviously unusual. There were actually monsters guarding it. After a hard battle, they were cleared away. What followed was the process of casting the bronze tripod, which was in line with what Yu Ke saw in the underground palace. fantasy content.

The human race relied on the bronze cauldron to suppress the beast disaster. If the story ended here, the birdmen would undoubtedly still be allies.

However, on several other stone pillars, it is recorded that after assisting humans to suppress the beast tide, the alien race to which Birdman belonged somehow turned against the human race and tried to snatch the bronze tripod, so that a large-scale war broke out. .

The final result will naturally end with the defeat of the alien race, which is why this ruins exists.

As for the specific details, the reliefs on the stone pillars did not mention them, as if the relevant content was deliberately hidden.

Needless to say, there must be something fishy here. Yu Ke even suspected that the ancients wanted to monopolize the technology of casting bronze tripods, so they waited for an opportunity to go to war with the aliens, killed them all, and then changed history.
Of course, the above is just Yu Ke's speculation without any evidence, and it does not rule out the possibility that these birdmen want to use the human race to build a bronze tripod. After suppressing the beast tide, they want to snatch this treasure, which will lead to a large-scale conflict.

"The bronze cauldron that suppressed the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood disappeared. Could it be that the birdman did it?"

After looking at all the photos, Yu Ke stood in front of the underground palace murals and whispered to himself.

Before the ruins were discovered by the expedition team sent by the Disaster Prevention Bureau, no one else should have broken into it. Otherwise, Fang Xuanhe would have sent people to carry out relevant investigations, and he would never let anyone involved in it go.

Moreover, as the core of the entire ruins, the bronze tripod must have a large number of protective measures.

Let alone an ordinary expedition team, even one entirely organized by extraordinary beings would not be able to break through various mechanisms and take away the bronze tripod without leaving any traces.

Thinking about it this way, is it true that the birdman who provided the bronze tripod casting plan and sealed the beast tide together with the ancients is the most suspicious?
After thinking briefly, Yu Ke decided to tell Fang Xuanhe what he had discovered.

If nothing else goes wrong, he should soon receive an investigation report from Ye Yingtong's expedition team. Then, recalling some of the information Yu Ke once mentioned, he may be able to find clues from the information about the ruins in the mountains. The opportunity to return to the bronze tripod.

"I seem to remember such a place."

Just when Yu Ke was thinking about how to remind Fang Xuanhe, the voice of the forest spirit suddenly sounded beside him. "I don't know how many years ago this happened, the location of the mineral vein. What did you say, do you remember the location of the mineral vein?"

Yu Ke, who responded casually, didn't react until he was halfway through his words. He suddenly turned around and looked at the forest spirit and asked,

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I have been sleeping for too long. The lack of divine power has made my memory of many things blurred, and I need external stimulation."

The tall woman transformed from the forest spirit stood beside Yu Ke, bending down to look at the photos on his phone and explaining.

After being sealed for a long time and losing its divine power, the forest spirit has been weakened in all aspects. If Yu Ke hadn't regained fragments of its divine power for it one after another, it might still be just a dark green fluorescent ball.

Not to mention thinking about the mineral veins, I am afraid that even the door of the temple cannot be opened.

Yu Ke thought about it again and felt something was wrong. He spread his hands and said,
"Now is the era of great catastrophe. The environment in Jinghu Forest has undergone drastic changes in recent years, but what you remember is the location of the mineral vein back then. Are you sure you can still find it?"

"I know the approximate location. As long as the mineral vein is still there, I can definitely find it."

As long as the mineral vein is still in the Mirror Lake Forest and has not been dug out, the forest spirit will have a way to find it. It is just a matter of time.

"Okay, I don't plan to go anywhere else for a while. I'm waiting for your news!"

The source of the ore for building the bronze tripod might contain relics left over from that time. Since there is a chance to find it, there is no reason to ignore it. Thinking of this, Yu Ke spoke decisively.

Report upwards along with the clues discovered by the expedition team.

Yu Ke received a message from Fang Xuanhe at noon the next day. The latter hoped that he could go to the mountains to discuss information about the bird-man stone statues and stone pillar reliefs.

Yu Ke, who knew the relevant clues through Ye Yingtong in advance, was waiting for the forest spirit to find the mineral veins. Naturally, it was impossible to leave at this critical moment, so he conveyed his discovery to Fang Xuanhe and said that he would stay in Jinghu Forest for a while. .

In the following days, the will of the forest spirit began to wander deep in the Jinghu Forest, looking for traces of mineral veins.

Yu Ke's life returned to peace.

A luxurious tent was set up outside Jinghu Forest, and while waiting for news from the forest spirits and spiritual training, his daily activities were to check the construction progress of the new camp, discuss the interior decoration of the new camp with Lin Zhenye, and occasionally participate in the construction work, driving robots and Heavy equipment, handling various building materials.

When I really have nothing to do, I take Wind Chime to the depths of Jinghu Forest for a hunting adventure, continue my work as a patrol hunter, and strive to fill up my experience points as soon as possible, so that the [Forest Patrol Hunter] can also be promoted to the next stage.

This day is Axelius's holiday.

After temporarily putting aside her work as a hunting team, she came to Yu Ke's campsite, and the two made an appointment to hang out at the bar at the transit station in the evening.

While there was still some time, they sparred again in the forest clearing.

It was said to be sparring, but in fact Yu Ke acted as a sparring partner to help Anseli test her fighting skills.
As the captain of the third hunting group, Anseli is in a commanding position most of the time. When facing ferocious beasts, he prefers to let his team members carry out sieges and mid- and long-range sniping. There are not many opportunities for head-on fighting. If you want to go all out, No chance of fighting.

Facing Yu Ke, he didn't have so many worries.

Anseli is well aware of the gap in combat power between himself and Yu Ke, so there is no need to leave any room for leeway in the battle.

With his legs entwined in dark cyan wind whirlpools, Anseli fully activated his extraordinary abilities and catapulted between the trees in the forest at an astonishing speed, launching attacks from the blind spots in Yu Ke's field of vision from time to time.

Either use a sharp kick to hit the fatal part of Yu Ke's body, or move away from him and swing his toes, kicking out several wind blades.

Frankly speaking, this strength is quite good in the hunting team.

After all, Anseli ate a lot of double-headed dragon meat and spiritual fruits, which greatly improved his physical fitness, coupled with his hard training.

It has improved a lot compared to when the two first met, at least he must be at the middle level of power.

It's just that in Yu Ke's eyes, both strength and speed are too slow!
Standing in the middle of the forest clearing, Yu Ke didn't even move his feet significantly. He just moved around within a diameter of one meter. Not only could he easily hold up Anzai's offensive, he could even free up his hands to counterattack.

"Huh~ It's still far from enough"

After another kick was blocked, Anseli looked at the palm holding his ankle and said with some disappointment.

"Don't be depressed. Your strength is already quite good. It's just that you lack some development of your abilities."

Yu Ke glanced at Anseli's straight and slender legs, shrugged and said,

"You are always using tree trunks to change the direction of your movement. No matter how well you do it, you are still relying on the power of your legs. Have you ever thought about developing your legs to control the wind attribute spiritual power? This is Isn’t it the core of your extraordinary ability?”

After this period of getting along, Yu Ke knew that Anseli's extraordinary abilities were all in her long legs.

Her legs can gather wind-based spiritual power to increase speed and destructive power, and she seems to be bound by this characteristic.

"Isn't the wind blade just a method of control?"

"Yes, the wind blade is indeed a new use of your extraordinary abilities. Have you ever considered flying through the air? I think since you can control the spiritual power of the wind element, why not use them as stepping stones, just like climbing stairs? , as long as you can master this skill, you no longer need to rely on tree trunks, you can completely use the wind to change the direction of travel, right? "

Yu Ke has no experience in teaching others to use extraordinary abilities, but this does not prevent him from learning from the whimsical ideas of another world.

It can only be said that there is still a lot of room for growth in Axel's kicking skills.

"It's not that easy. The wind elemental spiritual power that my legs can control is limited. Condensing them on the surface of my body and releasing them is already the result of long-term practice."

Anseli looked at Yu Ke with a little helplessness. She actually wanted to say that not everyone is as talented as Yu Ke.

"Do you want to make your legs more flexible?"

Yu Ke rubbed the forehead of the wind chime that was close to his side, as if thinking of something, he looked at Anseli's long legs.

"Ahem~ I'm not that kind of person!"

Feeling Yu Ke's somewhat aggressive gaze, Anseli coughed and shifted his gaze.

"It's not up to you. Come into the tent with me, and I'll let you experience my unique secret skills today."

Yu Ke raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked towards the tent, waving for Anseli to follow him quickly. The latter looked at Yu Ke's back, his face turned red, and after a brief hesitation, he chose to follow.

Soon.

Ansaili's uncontrollable moans came from the tent.

"Can you please lower your voice? If someone passes by nearby, they might think I am doing something evil to you."

Moving a small horse to sit next to the bed, Yu Ke's hands were filled with natural energy, and he looked at Anseli, who had his legs together on the bed and his face was flushed.

When I massaged Frighthorn Deer and Wind Chime before, their reactions were obviously normal!
