The Remnant City—The Ideal Across the Sky Chapter 24 Giant Rune
Returning to the central passage, Sly has not returned yet. Noel first put the stone slab into an empty slot with a similar shape and tried it, and it just clicked into place.
The dwarf looked at his watch. It took about a quarter of an hour since the two of them split up. Noel began to repair in place and waited for a while.
After resting for a while, Sly came out with his own knife, covered in wounds. One of the stone slabs was tied around his waist.
"It seems that your side is also having a hard fight. I encountered a few large tentacles. What about your side?" Noel asked.
"One tentacle is difficult enough to deal with. Do you have several over there?" Sly was very surprised.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a mess. Fortunately, my underwater speed is not slow." Noel showed a simple smile. There is only one last channel left. It seems that this water monster is more difficult to deal with than we thought. Do you want to
Don’t you want to take a break?”
"It's not necessary. It's better to finish it as soon as possible." Sly shook his head.
"It's good to be motivated, but you should also pay attention to your own situation." Noel took stock of his injuries. "But you should know this better than me. Put the stone slab on it and let's set off."
Next, Sly stuck the second stone slab up, and then the two entered the last passage.
This passage is straight, with three petrified tentacles as pillars at the end, and a shell propped up at the top.
It is the same as the shell in the previous left channel, but the difference is that this shell is not made of stone. Instead, the huge tentacles are not the original dark green but gray white.
"The last stone slab should be there, but it seems to be a little different from the previous situation. You can help to show off, and I'll go take a look." Noel, carrying the magic weapon, cautiously walked towards the shell.
Sly nodded and looked at the traces left by the invisible Noel when he climbed up.
Noel exerted his strong grip for a few seconds and climbed to the slightly open shell. The last stone slab was indeed inside.
Noel didn't dare to neglect, took a deep breath and quickly reached out his left hand to pick out the slate.
As the last stone slab was obtained, the shell of the petrified tentacles began to break. Of course, the two of them were already prepared for the attack.
"Throw the slate to me. You are faster. Just delay and catch up." Sly shouted.
"Then you take it." Noel threw the slate in his direction.
Sly caught the stone slab and ran towards the confluence of the passages. According to Sly's speed, Noel could catch up with him after holding on for thirty seconds.
The three petrified tentacles were still high up. After the shell shattered, they struck Noel at high speed and were blocked by him twice. However, Noel's powerful counterattack only caused the three dark green tentacles to be slightly burned. It seems that the monster's body has
Extremely strong vitality.
"Phew - now, it's my turn." The spear tip thrust straight forward and the hammer tip slammed down, and the ax tip turned back to chop.
But it only caused very little damage to the tentacle on the left.
The three tentacles continued to whip, and Noel could only hold the magic weapon in front of him to resist. Like a stone statue, he quietly withstood the tentacles' blows, and only the flames on the weapon struck back from time to time.
After holding on for half a minute, he still stood upright. Enough time had been delayed. The tentacles chased the running dwarf and arrived at the center of the passage. Sly stood behind the half-open door, ready to push it open at any time.
When Noel entered the door, the stone door closed with a clang.
"Can you still hold on? I guess this door can't be blocked for too long?" Sly's injuries have healed a lot, although there are still some shocking marks.
Noel, who was also covered in bruises, spat out a mouthful of blood and looked behind the door that he had managed to enter with great effort.
The passage behind the stone door is also a deep extension, and there are no special patterns on the walls. It seems that we have to continue to move forward to gain something. "That thing seems to be immortal. Let's not think about a head-on confrontation. Run quickly.
Well, I hope there is a road ahead." Then he rushed towards the passage ahead without stopping.
"I guess this sea beast's body must have a weakness, otherwise it would not be sealed in this place, and it is more likely to be used to protect this ruins," Sly said.
"Then we have to find a way to find its weakness. Anyway, we have to speed up our pace." Noel touched the bruise on his arm and grinned in pain.
Continuing along, the end of this passage is a well. The well in the underwater ruins is quite strange.
"It seems we have no choice but to go down." Sly said solemnly.
"There is no other choice, let's go." Noel said.
So Sly held the weapon with his backhand and jumped down first. Unlike Sly who was descending at a rapid speed, Noel noticed something was wrong as soon as he entered the water. He simply gave up breathing and began to hold his breath. He watched the wall of the well fall, and unexpectedly unexpectedly
I saw a slightly protruding stone brick.
The dwarf stretched out his hand to try the stone brick and see if it could be pushed in by pressing lightly. But the stone brick broke into pieces, and there was a strange stone with carved patterns inside.
Seeing that Sly didn't stop, Noel grabbed the stone and followed him.
It took almost twenty-five seconds to reach the bottom. Then Sly cut off the metal mesh at the bottom of the stone well with his sword, and Noel followed, and the two of them returned to the wide waters.
Here, like the bottom of the rock formation, there are also a large number of skeletons of giant sea beasts. A giant spherical monster with eight beards and eighteen sharp teeth of different sizes on top and bottom lies quietly in this sea beast cemetery.
At the deepest point, it stretches out countless tentacles and inserts into some passages in the rock formations and ruins above.
This scene is extremely shocking.
At the same time, the rock formations and ruins above begin to collapse and fall, and you have nowhere to hide.
Noel swallowed. How many dragons could this water monster bear?
This huge water monster pulled out several tentacles and some idle tentacles and attacked you. Sly began to swim at high speed, his elbows ejected airflow under the water to assist, and the sword light was like a net. The tentacles and Sly formed a
The water flow stirred together, and Noel could not see anything clearly.
So Noel bypassed the tentacles and swam at full speed in the direction of the water monster. Before he could swim a hundred meters, the cracks in the rock layer above expanded into cracks and generated huge suction. The water flow carried Noel into the cracks in the rock, causing him to
He took a sip of water and fainted.
"Hey, hey, wake up." A vague female voice with a tinny tone woke Noel up.
Opening his eyes again, Noel was already on the rocks at the fishing camp. "Ahem." The dwarf choked, quickly opened his eyes, and sat up. Where is the water monster? Where is Sly? Looking around, the owner of the female voice is Koka.
.The water was very calm, and six men in black robes were tied up inside the camp and were knocked unconscious.
"Mr. Noel, who came first? Why are you sleeping here? I'm here to support Koka."
"I know, didn't we just meet before? Just about three hours ago. Forget about this, have you seen Sly? He didn't come up?" Noel felt very strange.
"I just came. Are you asleep? Who is Sly?" Koka's expression didn't seem fake.
But the touch of the stone ball is still on Noel's waist. Where is the sword that was lent to Sly? It seems that in the underwater adventure, it will always be silent at the bottom of the lake.
"You just came? Did you arrest these people?" Noel pointed at the six people tied up next to him.
"You were here when I came here. Didn't Mr. Noel catch you?"
"Strange thing." Noel looked at his pocket watch. Koka's expression was fine, but the time now was almost a quarter of an hour after meeting Koka and Sly. It is not ruled out that a whole day had passed. This point returned to the city.
can be confirmed.
Only then did Noel realize that the injuries on his body were no longer there... "Did the association only send you to help?" As he said that, he got up and walked towards the men in black.
"It doesn't take too many people to catch a few illegal poachers, right?" Koka may have felt that Noel was a little confused.
"Illegal poachers? I may have been confused. What was our original mission?" the dwarf asked helplessly, checking the men in black robes to see if they had anything in common except the black robes.
"There was a group of illegal poachers in the noble's hunting forest, which caused the noble to lose a lot of precious prey. That's it, you are responsible for fighting, and I am responsible for hunting."
This group of fainting men also have some muscles on their bodies, but they are not strong. The calluses on their hands are also the type who are good at using bows. If you look carefully, some of them have throwing knife belts tied to their thighs, which are typical hunter attire.
"Hmm..." Noel was a little confused, but fortunately the missing sword proved that what happened before was not an illusion.
"Koka, do you know any spells that can assist underwater movement? I have some things to investigate." Noel wanted to confirm, but now the lake is calm and clear, and the bottom of the lake is only fifty feet deep at most...
"Yes, but tracking these people's lairs is more important, right?"
"Tsk." The dwarf turned his head and looked at the water. "How long is the mission deadline?"
"Two days, one and a half days left." Koka sighed.
"Okay, then don't worry, wait for me to go down and take a look, and I'll be back soon." Noel was a little unbelieving, so he turned invisible and plunged into the water and swam toward the bottom of the center of the lake.
But no matter how much he searched, there was nothing but sand and startled swimming fish.
"This is really a ghost in broad daylight." After landing, the dwarf muttered alone.
Noel had no time before, so now he took out the stone ball and looked at it carefully. There were many protruding arc segments of different sizes on it, which gave the impression that the proportions were perfect.
"Are we ready to go?" Koka asked.
"Well, aren't we looking for their lair? Why don't we wake them up on the spot and say hello directly." He was talking about it, but Noel's eyes were on the stone ball, and his mind was still underwater. Find someone to pat his face and wake him up.
If you don't wake up, pour cold water on it.
"Sir, please spare your life, I will never dare again." The man woke up and began to beg for mercy.
With a touch of his right hand, Noel attached a flame to the end of the spear. The tip of the spear turned and was close to his face. "It's easy to spare your life. Where are the other members of your gang? Where is your base? Say it quickly! I'll give it to you if you're late."
Come on."
"I don't know, I don't know. Please forgive me, sir. I really don't know. The boss gave the order." The man in black begged for mercy in horror.
On the other hand, Koka said: "Forget it if you can't ask, I confirmed the suspected location." She seemed to have already used some magic to track it, and was just waiting for Noel.
