Look at that giant circular symbol.

Gary was confused. Although Milan had some impressions of being a wizard, he was not too sure because of his different majors: "This is?"

"The hall we just passed by also has a symbol on the ceiling, but the name of that hall is 'Kingdom', and the name of this hall now is 'Foundation'.

They are all one of the ten primary substances in the "Tree of Life" or "Tree of Life". To be more precise, they are the two at the bottom, namely the tenth principle and the ninth principle.

Each hall corresponds to a different number of passages, representing the twenty-two paths in the "Inverted Tree".

If my guess is correct, the layout of this underground ruins should be similar to the ‘Inverted Tree’, and there are at least eight other halls deeper.”

Ivan looked at the passage leading deeper at the end of the rotunda, with a look of contemplation. The scale of this ruins may be much larger than he first imagined. Didn't this hollow out the entire island?

However, there is one thing that Ivan didn't say.

The deeper you go into the ruins, the stronger your spiritual premonition gives you. It seems that there is some kind of existence deep in the ruins that attracts you.

However, looking at the reactions of Milan and Gary, they obviously did not have such a premonition.

Is it because there is something special about him? The secret of the ruins has not yet been solved, but a new mystery has been added to Aiwen's heart.

Nothing was found.

The three of them continued forward and once again passed a stone platform that was not lying but was also empty.

Walking through both halls was calm, and it was obviously completely different from what "White Shark Skook" had experienced when he led the pirates to explore. After all, several years had passed since the last time they came in. What changes had occurred in the ruins?

It’s hard to say either.

And the next hall may be the place where even the second-level peak "White Shark Skook" suffered a loss. This is also the reason why he exited in a hurry, and even the corpses of his subordinates did not have time to restrain themselves.

The normal "upside down tree" pattern has twenty-two paths connecting the ten elements. This is the general shape of this underground ruins. In this "basic" hall, the number of entrances and exits suddenly increased to four.

They lead to the tenth principle "kingdom", the eighth principle "radiance", the sixth principle "beauty", and the seventh principle "victory".

Not daring to wander around, the group of people followed the normal path to the next hall of the eighth substance, and that door was also open!

This made Ivan once wonder if Skook had received other guidance besides the bronze key when he was exploring the ruins.

In the straight corridor, the three of them walked slowly forward.

The safety of two consecutive halls did not make the three people relax, but made them even more nervous. Unknown enemies, unknown attack methods, unknown places of appearance, unknown times of appearance, all uncertainties made them afraid

There is a bit of relaxation.

Even if they can't reach the point where everything is in full swing, they are still paying close attention to every movement here.

As we continued to advance, except for the corpses of dead pirates that appeared on the ground from time to time, the same rock walls finally changed.

crack!

It's like a giant centipede-like crack formed after the wall broke after an earthquake.

And after this sudden crack.

"Are these the roots of a plant?"

"Impossible! Even if there is a crack in the wall, the roots of what plant can penetrate the rock formation of unknown thickness and extend to this place? And also grow in such a large area?"

Milan couldn't help but marvel.

However, the thick and long roots that crisscrossed and clung to the wall like an ivy could not be faked. It was just the same cold iron stone color as the wall, and the size of it spread across the entire corridor, which made them start

I thought it was a relief carved into the rock wall.

clang

Without hesitation, since he noticed something might be strange, Ivan directly drew his sword and cut off a section. Although this kind of root was hard, it was far from being able to withstand the sword of a formal knight.

When a piece of root fell to the ground, it really made a sound like a stone hitting it. The fracture was smooth and there was not even a drop of sap that should have been there.

It's like the petrified wood that existed a long time ago has now completely turned into stone, and there is no feedback of extraordinary spiritual light in the spiritual vision.

"No problem, keep going."

The light from the "illumination technique" gradually faded away along with the footsteps of the three people.

However, in the corridor that was once again dark, there was a rustling sound, as if there were thousands of venomous snakes squirming gently.

In the second half of the corridor, more cracks appeared on the stone wall, which were also covered with cold and hard roots.

tick tick tick

"There seems to be the sound of water in front?"

With the new news, the three of them couldn't help but speed up their pace.

As expected, the stone door of this hall is open, but this time there is no need for lighting. A blue orb shines brightly on the stone platform in the middle of the hall, reflecting the entire underground space.

It became a deep blue.

And looking through its light, the ceiling is the "brilliance" essence that Ivan once guessed.

Gary took a step forward and was about to walk into the hall, but Alvin and Milan reached out to block him at the same time.

"Don't go in!"

"dangerous!"

The two wizards looked at each other. The expedition to the ruins was finally no longer a calm "outing". They had simultaneously noticed the strangeness of the blue orb in the middle of the hall.

Just because in their spiritual vision, the bright and undisguised black supernatural light escaping from the orb clearly tells those who come after them not to come close unless you have to! Don't touch it!

"This thing seems to be exuding some kind of strange curse all the time?!"

Taking advantage of his expertise in early warning and detection, Milan closed his eyes and carefully perceived the situation before coming to this conclusion.

"Just irradiating this blue light for a short time may not be a big deal, but if you touch the bead directly with your hand, some kind of terrible curse may take effect immediately!"

"Well, and have you noticed that the stone platform under the bead is exactly the same as the one in the previous two halls.

As a pure knight, Skook does not have the spiritual vision of a wizard. Is it possible that he entered there directly in an attempt to take away the seemingly precious orb like before? "

When Ivan said this, he suddenly thought of something, and Milan, who got the hint, said in unison: "Alienation Curse!!!"

Legend has it that "White Shark Skook" suffered some kind of vicious curse a few years ago. In addition to being unable to sleep, his appearance has gradually become closer to a real shark, which indirectly created the name of the ferocious and bloodthirsty "White Shark"

.

"Could it be that 'White Shark Skook' was cursed here a few years ago? Is that orb the source of the curse?!

Yes, although the casualties suffered by the pirates before were not small, the size of the 'Shark Tooth Pirate Group' was far from the point of breaking their muscles and bones, and they were fully capable of further exploration.

It must be because there was something wrong with Skook himself that led to the failure to continue the exploration!"

For some reason, in addition to Skook being cursed, Alvin also thought about whether the "Ocean Secret Treasure-Misty Silver Lamp" he obtained from the "Shark Tooth Pirates" had been placed in the previous two halls.

What about on a certain stone platform?

"What about us? What's the sound?"

The three people turned around at the same time and looked in the direction they came from.

The rustling sound in the darkness became louder and louder, as if countless snakes were twisting and hissing, but the strong wind blowing in front of them told them that there was no weird smell in it.

Be on full alert.

With their backs against the stone wall, the three of them raised their sharp swords at the same time.

"coming!"

Soon the roots and vines were squirming on the ground like a swarm of snakes. It was as if the entire corridor came to life!

And not only the smell, but also in their spiritual vision, not to mention the possible extraordinary aura, not even a trace of life can be found.

This is just a pile of petrified wood that should have turned into stone!

"It's actually those roots from before?! How is that possible? The roots that have turned into stone can still be alive?"

This kind of scene had the greatest impact on Gary's world view. It almost completely subverted his past understanding of the world, throwing it to the ground and crushing it to pieces. Even if he had encountered sea monsters and fought against evil supernatural beings, this kind of thing transcended ordinary common sense.

It still shocked him.

"Is it some kind of extraordinary plant with extremely strong vitality and stealth?"

As he spoke, the twisting roots were already close to the three people. As the most powerful among the three, Aiwen took the lead, and the long sword in his hand turned into a bright light curtain, blocking the front without any blind spots.

Dang! Dang! Dang!
