Transcendent Journey

At the gate of the ruins, there are piles of torch, ropes and other materials specially prepared by the pirates for the next exploration, and Gary is about to pick up a point.

Milan has snapped his fingers first.

Slap——

A bright ball of light was born out of thin air and hovered above the heads of three people, making the interior of the dim ruins instantly bright as day, and it also frightened Gary.

However, Ivan had already greeted him in advance, and the reaction was not too fierce. He just silently put down the torch in his hand.

Even a “prophet” who has given up most of the offensive spellcasting abilities, Milan is an official wizard no matter what, some general small spells are nothing difficult for him.

The light of “Illumination” came on, and Ivan was attracted by a very simple tree-like figure on the stone wall at first sight.

It seems to be carved directly on a smooth stone wall with a chisel. A mysterious figure composed of ten circles and 22 paths is drawn with very simple lines.

Ivan is attracted by it not because of how novel and rare it is. On the contrary, in various mysterious books, the frequency of its appearance is not low at all.

He is called “Life Tree”, “Fallen Tree”, and “God’s Stairway”. When he was in the “Shadow Library”, Ivan had seen it in many basic mysterious books This graphic.

According to the legend, this is the knowledge passed down by the “oldest school”, one of the sources of the wizard, which hides the ultimate secret between man and god in this world!

Although this graphic has been widely circulated, no one can prove that he really discovered the secret from the history of the transcendent world.

“Is it an inverted tree? Could this ruin have something to do with it?”

A single thought was immediately suppressed by Ivan. The meaning of the world is the same as the meaning of the “Yin-Yang Diagram” of Ivan’s previous life to Taoism.

There are countless branches and factions that have spread from it, vast as the open sea. You can never guess by guessing, and you will know if it is related to seeing it with your own eyes.

Nodded for Milan and Gary. As the military force of the three, Ivan took the lead in the front, and the two of them guarded the flank separately and proceeded carefully with a cautious defensive formation.

Because the entrance itself is on the top of the tower, the three people walked deep underground along a spiral slope that continued to extend underground. After completely passing through the artificial building on the ground, there are only rock stairs and rock walls without a trace of cracks, just like the entire island under your feet is a giant rock.

But it is worth mentioning that even though it has gradually gone deep underground, there is no such dull and corrupt feeling in the breath. Obviously the age may be very old, but the ventilation system here is still very smooth.

Soon, without encountering any danger, they came to a relatively spacious underground hall.

zhi zhi zhi ….

Aroused by the light of “illumination”, a large group of giant competition, wolf dogs and small bats immediately pounced down.

But they are just ordinary creatures. Ivan long sword burst out with a sharp sword light, turning his body into a gust of wind, and cut down all the bats that came. More bats saw that the situation was far from good and fled to the depths of darkness, and disappeared in a blink of an eye…

The faces of the three people were as usual. For those experienced, this scene was even more difficult. Appetizers are not even considered.

Step forward.

Step on.. Step on.. Step on..

The military boots make a crisp sound when they step on the ground, which constantly echoes in the underground space.

Through the light of lighting technique, one can see that the very classically carved towers of stone pillars propped up this circular underground space. Here they finally discovered what they used to be. The footprints of the “explorers”.

But at this time they have all become part of this ruin.

Dried bloodstains, broken bones, corpses that have been air-dried but no one has converged, and various weapons that have been thrown away. Look at the last time I explored at least a few years ago and the outside wood house was built The time roughly coincides.

Fortunately, the ventilation of this underground space is fairly smooth, and there is no strong odor.

But what makes people feel strange is that the pirates were not attacked by anything at all.

Instead, the corpses of the pirates were mixed with a lot of broken marble statues stained with pirate blood, as if the pirates had done some planned destruction of the “furnishings” here before they were alive.

“These sculptures should be antiques? Pirates are really reckless waste of natural resources. Real gold and white silver are not the only valuables in the ruins!”

Milan, who had studied, saw the fragmented statue, but felt distressed by the behavior of the pirates.

“Be careful! It’s just a few years, the things that killed them may still live here.”

The three men are all experienced naval officers, and they are seeing everywhere At the same time as the corpse, he was already vigilant. Milan just cursed, and didn’t even move his footsteps.

“Can you tell what it is?” Milan looked around, always alert to the movement in the dark, while whispering to Ivan. He knows that Ivan’s ability is better than himself in distinguishing these details.

“Some of the corpses are broken, but the clothes are still intact, and they look like they were forcibly strangled by some kind of pythons.

Some obviously Was it a bludgeon, a stone or a weapon like Warhammer? There are indeed similar weapons on the ground, but I don’t know if it belongs to a pirate or an attacker. Are there humanoid intelligent creatures that can use weapons?”

Ivan opened the “data-based vision” to carefully screen, and when faced with mysterious ruins and enemies with unknown means that might jump out at any time, he couldn’t be too careful.

This is also one of the rules that explorers need to follow when adventuring.

“It seems that they have encountered a very tragic resistance here!”

Be cautious, Ivan called out from the bottom of my heart, wanting the summon seabirds to come forward. Investigate it.

Didn’t expect an extremely strong emotion of resistance came immediately from the bottom of my heart. It was not the pure fear when facing Evil God, as if there was something deep underground that made them feel extreme in fear. Disgusting things.

There is no way, my own seabirds detect spells, not forcing creatures to dominate spells, and they can’t let them rebel against the instincts of creatures.

Ivan looked towards Milan.

The latter understood immediately, and closed his eyes for a while and replied: “If you continue to act, you will encounter the enemy, but the sign of death is not obvious.”

“Go ahead, be careful!”

Although they can’t beat the original white shark Skook now, they rely on the part-time wizard road and Mystic Knowledge that is far more abundant than Skook.

At least in relic exploration, knowledge is sometimes more useful than military force.

The three people slowed down and continued to move forward, passing a stone platform in the middle of the rotunda. At this time, it had broken and fell to the ground, not knowing what was placed on it.

Obviously, if “White Shark Skook” is the first visitor, there is a high probability that the above items have fallen into his hands.

There are three exits in different directions in the hall, and the leftmost door has been opened.

Leader Ivan looked up at the ceiling and then slightly hesitated, then turned to walk into the open door.

Behind the gate is a long and narrow corridor. On the walls are painted various grotesquely shaped creatures, such as plants, animals, terrestrial and aquatic. Some are not much different from the outside world, but some It’s like a hybrid breed, which makes people can’t bear to look directly at it.

It looks like some kind of laboratory for biochemical experiments. Even in the past hundreds of years, these paintings are still very bright, giving people the illusion that the owner here was still here yesterday.

Step on.. Step on.. Step on..

There is no other than the sound of a few people’s footsteps in this place where the depth is unknown. Although there is no “monster” coming out in the darkness, the deep oppression and tense atmosphere in the dark underground are accumulating little by little, and even if the breathing is smooth, it makes people feel a slight suffocation.

Exhale——Inhale——

With the slightly heavy breathing, the three people came to another round hall very smoothly.

The shape and furnishings here have not changed much compared with the previous hall. The number of dead pirate corpses on the ground is much less than the previous one, but from the perspective of clothing and equipment, the level is obviously higher. Stronger.

It looks like the bottom pirates were almost wiped out in the previous hall. Although the elite pirates managed to come here, they were not spared.

“Has the thing that killed the pirates left?”

Milan looked at the empty hall with nothing but pirate corpses, and became more curious about what the secret enemy was. Up.

After all, there are corpses of pirates on the ground, but like the previous hall, there are no traces of unknown enemies except for the broken sculptures and some dry branches.

“I don’t know where the enemy is, but I think you should take a look at the ceiling! I have some guesses about this thing.”

Under Ivan’s reminder, Milan and Gary looked up at the same time and saw a large and complex circular symbol carved on the ceiling.
