(Well, I will continue to ask for monthly tickets while the double amount is doubled. Anyway, I am idle...)
The Devil's Cave is a very vivid name. Just from these two words, you can hear the feeling of ghosts, ghosts, and wolves howling. The indigenous people of this world have such a straightforward impression of the disaster brought by the power of the abyss, and
The cage they built to seal this power also truly reflects this.
It is a giant cave that goes deep into the ground and cannot be seen at the bottom. The entrance to the cave is in a small basin only a few kilometers away from the Dark Moon Palace. Everyone stood in front of the teleportation tower on the edge of the basin, looking down at the dark valley.
.I saw a kilometer-long crack suddenly cracking in the ground in the center of the basin. The crack looked out of place with the surrounding geology. It was obviously not a natural formation. Its edges were uneven, and a large number of sharp stalagmites stabbed from inside the crack.
It looks to the sky like ferocious fangs, so that I feel that the devil's cave is like a beast that chooses people to devour: it is sealed underground, and only a huge mouth of bloody fangs pokes out of the surface, waiting to devour the reckless ones.
Intruders. And deep in the rift valley, dark clouds and mist are constantly rolling, which is dust mist that has been lightly polluted.
"A mere sample of the abyss has been sealed in such a large formation. It's quite honorable."
The above is the objective evaluation made by Bingtis, a senior magic stick, abyss processing expert, and a member of the Protoss archeology team, when he saw the entrance to the Demon Cave.
We know that the Dark Moon is shrouded in a layer of thick fog that never dissipates, but around this small basin, the thick fog is blocked out, so that the vicinity of the Demon Cave has become the place with the freshest air on the planet, let alone the dust and fog.
.I even vaguely felt that even the wind blowing into the basin had signs of being filtered. The Blood Princess confirmed my guess: "In order to prevent the spread of pollution, we used a barrier to isolate the Demon Cave from the surroundings. The thick fog above the planet
It is used to circulate and purify the devil's breath, but it cannot allow them to come into direct contact with the pollution sources in the devil's cave... This is a very complex planet purification mechanism, and it took nearly twenty years to build it."
"If there were no abyss, you should have reached a very advanced stage of development," I speculated based on the little experience and knowledge I have accumulated over the years. "You are quite talented, and you also have a set of space teleportation left behind by the civilization of the previous season.
What a pity the equipment is.”
"Who knows, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other," Bingtis shook his head, "If there was no abyss, they might still have a civil war to death. The Dark Moon War at least allowed them to have intermittent peace for more than two thousand years. I have never seen this before.
Many civilizations that originally had great potential ended up internally depleted to death. There are 'genius civilizations' slowly starving to death while guarding their resource-depleted home planet. There are many variables in this aspect and it is impossible to explain."
A group of people came to the entrance of the rift valley at the bottom of the basin. I found that there was an artificially built boulder avenue extending from the open plains outside into the rift valley. Although this road was old and worn out. The boulder slabs laid on the ground were also old.
The cracks are uneven in many places. But its scale is still surprising: each of its huge stone slabs is almost as big as half a basketball court. This road is obviously the one called "
The path taken by the Dark Moon Elite Soldiers of the Beast Control Corps.
Bingtis looked around, then suddenly pointed out not far away: "Oh, that's where I picked up that rash girl Long. If I had known earlier that the artifact would be placed in this canyon,
At that time, I should have just gone in and looked for it. Hey, I didn’t feel any reaction from the artifact at all.”
The Blood Princess led everyone into the rift valley while introducing this historic boulder slope: "There was this road when the Demon Cave was first built, but at that time it was not as big as it is now.
It was just a path for some craftsmen to enter and exit. At that time, the main force in building the Demon Cave was the giant dragon. The dragon could fly, so they did not need this ramp. However, an accident happened later. The main force in building the Demon Cave became other races. This
The road was widened into a main road. Later, it also became the road for the Dark Moon army to enter and exit. Every time the Dark Moon war begins, we will send elite soldiers down to open the seal, and then guide the undead monsters and evil spirits to
On the surface, the entire basin is actually a teleportation array. When all the teleportation towers around the basin are activated at the same time, it will continuously teleport the monsters running out of the Demon Cave to the Gemini teleportation station, and then the teleportation station will transfer those monsters.
Banished to the ground, he was finally strangled by the coalition forces led by Edsawin."
"How do you guarantee that those abyss monsters will not take the opportunity to rush out of the basin?" Bingtis asked curiously, "You know, no matter who it is, the mood will not be much better after being pressed and sealed for two thousand years, let alone that
Still a bunch of crazy monsters."
The blood princess replied calmly with four words: "Pile it with human lives."
"There is another question," I looked at the side face of the Blood Princess, "For you, the abyss is an abstract thing that cannot be touched or fixed. You can only do it when it is hosted on a clear host.
Seal it or transfer it, this kind of host is the monster in the devil's cave, but the monsters sealed in the devil's cave will not always be the same group two thousand years ago, right? I know that the abyss needs to keep jumping to new hosts, because they are always
It will completely destroy the old hosts - where did these hosts come from?"
The Abyss is difficult to control, which is the easiest problem to encounter when dealing with it. If you want to destroy an abstract object, the best way is to make it concrete. The Empire has various dimensions-converting technologies, and there are also objects called trappers.
Special bait for the abyss. When we don’t want to use these things, we even have a large dose of psionic energy that can directly neutralize the gate of the abyss. However, the Dark Moon people on Redmoon definitely do not have these high technologies, so they can only
Let the abyss infect some of the most susceptible creatures, and then temporarily weaken the abyss by killing those monsters. These infected creatures need a stable source - I am now curious about where these "hosts" come from.
"Every once in a while, some beasts must be thrown into the devil's cave as sacrifices and let them become hosts," the Blood Princess sighed. "If the beasts are not enough, then throw the death row prisoners in. If the death row prisoners are not enough."
Dewensa will secretly send death row prisoners over from the earthly world... That's why the Goddess Church specially compiled a detail in history that 'the original sin civilians used black magic to transform the warriors of the Holy Alliance', and even specifically mentioned the Dark Moon people.
The vampires and night demon elves in it are said to be humans and elves who were transformed in ancient times. This is to explain why there are monsters that look like dwarves and humans in Dark Moon Demon."
"If there are not enough prisoners on death row," Bingtis suddenly glanced at the Blood Princess, "what else will you throw in?"
"Don't worry. We have never thrown innocent people into the water. Then we will really become demons," the Blood Princess shrugged. "When the hosts in the Demon Cave reach saturation, the Dark Moon War will begin regardless of whether the coalition forces on the ground are prepared or not.
, otherwise the demonic power will pollute the planet."
"Well, that's a good decision." Bingtis nodded and said. She has maintained her divine form since just now, using the holy light around her to help everyone shield the abyss environment in the rift valley. Now everyone has moved along the sloping boulder.
We walked down the slope for a long distance, and the darkness around us became thicker and thicker. However, this darkness was obviously not a natural phenomenon: the opening of the rift valley was just a few dozen meters above us, and the skylight was actually not too far away from us, but
The light seems to be unable to reach here, and the rift valley is as dark as night.
Only the holy light beside Bingtis illuminates the way forward - oh, the greater effect is Alaya who is like a searchlight.
The angel sister was very skillful in focusing the light around her in one direction. She looked sincere like a searchlight. Bingtis looked at Alaya adjusting the brightness and couldn't help but roll her eyes at me: "What on earth have you trained her to do?"
Already?"
"She can also use flash effects," I confessed frankly, "but it won't be used here."
"The surroundings are getting darker and darker," Lin Xue set up a pergola and looked around. Except for the absolute light produced by the holy light, there was only endless darkness in the distance. "Various optical effects of the air seem to have been disturbed."
There is no diffusion or refraction, and the areas where the holy light does not shine directly are as black as ink."
"The situation is always getting worse every time. Now the demonic power has been able to partially penetrate outside the seal, affecting normal natural phenomena," the Blood Princess smiled bitterly. "When the Demon Cave was first established, the road outside the seal was not what it is now. Even if
There were troops stationed here normally the day before it opened. But now the ramp, which was originally located outside the seal, is as dirty as if it were immersed in a devil's cave. Even if Brother Manzi is fine, the Sixth War will be out of control."
Bingtis frowned and suddenly snapped his fingers: "There must be light."
The surrounding darkness was swept away in an instant, and normal roads and rugged cliffs appeared in front of us again.
Bingtis showed a satisfied smile: "Oh, it seems that the rules here are normal. If you don't even obey God's orders, the pollution will be more serious."
This boulder slope was so long that it seemed to have no end. Our group was very fast, so we quickly crossed the rift valley and entered a deep tunnel that sloped downward and kept twisting and turning. Moving forward.
After a long time, Viska measured the depth from the ground and discovered that the nearest surface was already several kilometers away. It was unimaginable that the condition of this seal was already so bad: the power of the abyss spread out from the devil's cave deep underground,
Penetrated so far.
Because it was built by a giant dragon, this tunnel is extremely wide, and at regular intervals you can see huge luminous runes inlaid on the ground or walls. These runes are different from the local runes we have seen.
, the silly guy introduced that it was written in dragon language grammar and engraved on the stone with the blood of the giant dragon. Since the dragon clan completely declined and only Zoya was left alive in the world, these runes can no longer be seen.
There is no way to repair it, and it can only fade away little by little over thousands of years. Now nearly half of the runes in it have actually completely lost their effect: this is one of the reasons why the abyss can leak from the seal.
"The so-called dragons in the world now are all evil dragons created by the secret techniques of monsters and beasts. They look like giant dragons, but in fact they have little ability to think, and of course they don't have the blood of dragons. So Ya used her mental power to
She controls such a group of beasts that look very similar to her people and lives in seclusion in the Dragon Mountains, maintaining the appearance of the dragons’ eternal existence.” The Blood Princess sighed, “I heard from Edwinsa that Zoya has been living in seclusion in the past few hundred years.
Living in an increasingly decadent life, she recently became a mercenary, working as a coolie, as a bodyguard, and even babysitting children to earn some food... She completely gave up on the things on Longshan, as if she was thinking
It’s like trying to forget that you were once a dragon."
"Actually, the four of us are not doing well." The stupid guy added beside him in a sullen voice.
At this time, I tried to think of the facial paralyzed dragon sister. Is it a bit rude to take care of a child with a plaster face?
At this moment, this deep tunnel finally reached its end. A flat black stone wall appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This is the gate?" Bingtis looked at the huge stone wall in front of him. A door hundreds of meters high was carved with rough strokes on its surface - but the door was only carved on the stone wall. Yes
, the gate that sealed the entrance turned out to be just a relief!
"The devil cannot be contained in a regular space, so we used the secrets of the dragon clan and some ancient technologies of the first season civilization to create a special space. This space is attached to a real object, which is the stone wall in front of us," the Blood Princess said there
He groped around on the carved door, and then pressed some protruding small stones in order. "If the seal is opened or a sacrifice is delivered, the relief here will become a real door... But before that,
, I will take out the artifact for you first, as promised."
A faint sound that sounded like the sound of electricity or the buzzing of the air sounded from the dark stone wall. It seemed that some device was charging. I saw that the deep indentations were gradually getting brighter. They were originally carved inwardly.
But as the light continued to emerge, the door portrait slowly began to take on a physical state. However, before the door completely materialized, a circular aperture first appeared on the stone wall, which was embedded in the
Between the two doors, it looks like a super huge keyhole. The physical speed of this ring aperture is faster than the door. In a few seconds, it changes from a picture to a real hole, but the surface of the hole is covered
There is a layer of light yellow barrier, which seems to be still sealed.
"Brother Barbarian, the key." The blood princess turned and stretched out her hand to the stupid guy. When Zoya left, she handed the key she brought from Edwinsa to the stupid guy, and that key was to bring the artifact from a certain place.
Key items pulled out of a special space.
The silly guy touched his body, then held a small thing with two fingers and handed it to the Blood Princess. I curiously went up to take a look and found that it was just a small triangular crystal plate, and the crystal plate seemed to be frozen.
With a shining rune.
"Inlaid the key on the barrier. Something will appear in the container." The Blood Princess placed the small crystal plate on the surface of the light yellow seal. The two merged instantly, and then disappeared at the same time, and then a person was shrouded in a faint golden light.
The ball floated out of the hole lightly, "Is this the artifact you are looking for? What is it used for?"
We really spent a lot of effort to find this thing. At this time, a group of people immediately gathered around to see what the artifact looked like, but what can I say... the shape of this thing made us a bit regretful.
It is a ball with a diameter of just over one meter, made of light golden metal. There is a layer of already dim light floating on the surface of the ball, and you can vaguely feel the sacred breath escaping from the light.
I took a closer look and found that the ball was not smooth. There were many dim symbols and raised reliefs only a few millimeters high on its shell. Some straight lines extended all over the ball shell.
There is nothing else, no instructions for use, no obvious operating controls, and there is no other reaction except a reassuring warmth when you press your hand on it.
After studying for a long time, I suddenly took out an air hammer, but I pushed it back before I could do it: This is a historical relic of the Gods, if anything happens...
I was just halfway through my thoughts when I saw Bingtis swinging her brick Bible and slamming it down on the big golden ball...
The loud "bang" sound was simply breathtaking. I stared at Bingtis dumbfounded. The other party whistled at me and waved the brick meteor hammer Bible combination with an iron chain in his hand: "Concubine confirmed
Let’s see if the shell of this thing is just an astrological stone. This thing has been infected by the abyss for too long, its divinity is weak, and the material is a bit denatured. No wonder I can’t sense its divinity because it is blocked by a different space.
, I didn’t expect this thing to be so weak... Even a black hole horizon might be able to hide it, but luckily it’s not broken yet.”
Me: "...it's not broken, but you'll smash it!"
"Don't worry, the artifact is strong. It's no worse than the pile of ten thousand year prison equipment you built." Bingtis waved his hands carelessly, then touched his chin and studied the big golden ball, "But having said that... this thing
Is this the artifact we are looking for? Why can’t I see what it is for? Is this a memory? How to read it..."
Everyone who was originally feeling a little excited suddenly became quiet.
I looked at Bingtis dumbfounded: "Sister...are you kidding me?"
Bingtis raised his chin. This action meant "When did my great Bing Bing make a joke?"
I broke out in a cold sweat: "Aren't you an expert on the Gods? Now that you have found the artifact, you say you don't know how to use it?"
"I'll give you a wooden cow and you can use it? I'll give you a wooden stick and you'll be able to drill wood to make fire? Do you know how to maintain the fire stick?" Bingtis spread his hands, "I'm just following you to help sense the reaction of the artifact and identify this thing.
Is it true or false? As for how to operate it specifically..."
As she said that, she patted the light golden ball that was sitting quietly on the ground: "Let's study it slowly after we transport it back. This thing has a long history. The technology of the God Realm has been updated for countless rounds.
Reading data from this thing is definitely more difficult than Qianqian's father analyzing how many times King Zhou You went to the toilet a day from a tile."
