Chapter 768 Exploring the Ruins 2 Race Against Time
Keira looked very angry, especially that Xie Yuan had dragged herself into such a dangerous situation.
However, Xie Yuan still had a way to persuade her: "You have come this far. If you just leave like this, not to mention the losses you just suffered, your reward will be taken away by them in vain.
And this involves Ciri - don’t forget her importance to this world. If the elves from another world know her whereabouts, it will not be a good thing."
Keira didn't know whether she was really convinced, or she was reluctant to part with the reward left by the elf mage Avallac'h, so in the end she could only agree with a curled lip.
The two soon followed the path at the bottom to a place that was emitting bright light. This turned out to be the holographic projection of Avallac'h after putting on the mask - but it was not powered by electricity or the energy of the technological worldview.
This should be driven purely by spiritual energy or magical power.
I only heard the projection of Avallac'h speaking in half-elven and half-common language: "Daughter of the Seagull, I wait for you and follow the instructions of the sword."
"That's him! It's this elf!" Keira recognized the projection of Avallac'h as soon as she saw it.
"In my understanding, this method is called holographic projection, but the energy supply method is different. What do you generally call this method?" Xie Yuan looked at Keira.
"Holographic projections? Strange names, we just call them physical projections." Keira felt weird about the name "holographic projections".
"It seems that Avallac'h should have designed a trap for the Wild Hunt Knights, and expected that Ciri or friends with Ciri would come here because of the teleportation technique in this world..."
"In other words," Xie Yuan looked at Keira: "You are also part of this elf mage's plan."
"Damn that stinky elf!" Keira was clearly annoyed at being involved in the scheme.
But the woman's face became as curious as reading a book: "Seagull's daughter is generally used to call the descendants of Laura Dolan, and the elves call her that."
"But what does it mean to follow the instructions of the sword? Is it a code? Or what?"
"This is purely to test the visitor's understanding of Xili: her sword is called Swallow, maybe it's a sign for us to follow the swallow symbol."
On the next journey, Xie Yuan and Kaila saw a port that was under construction. Of course, the port was no longer flooded by sea water, but was replaced by debris, methane and water ghosts.
"Pay attention to these yellow steam balls, they are poisonous and flammable." Xie Yuan warned as he opened the way ahead.
"I don't want you to remind me!" Keira retorted rudely, "I recognized it as a fox mushroom at a glance."
"Pah!" "Pah!"
"Pah!" "Pah!"
"These water ghosts are really annoying!" Xie Yuan slapped a water ghost to death while complaining to Keira behind him.
"This is their territory. We are the intruders. Of course they will keep coming."
Keira watched in amazement as Xie Yuan killed a water ghost with just one punch and one palm, but she still teased him when she heard Xie Yuan's complaints.
But then he became curious: "Have you ever experienced the mutation trial?"
"The kind of witcher?" If Xie Yuan wanted to return to Keira, he had no time to use his hands, so he had to use his feet... one at a time. "No, I have never experienced this kind of trial. This is not a mutation.
Acquired abilities are acquired through acquired training.”
"Liar!" Keira said with disbelief, "The most powerful armored knight here can't defeat a group of water ghosts alone with his bare hands - otherwise why would this thing be used by demon hunters when they can't make money?
Where are the designated monsters who came to eat?"
"I am indeed trained the day after tomorrow." Xie Yuan told Keira firmly, "I am just an ordinary person who has practiced for many years - as for knights who cannot deal with monsters... I seem to have heard Geralt say that ordinary people
There are also warriors who engage in monster hunting after undergoing many trainings.”
But as if someone was about to slap him in the face, when he walked to the middle section, several bunches of demonic fire suddenly flashed, and then several demonic spirits appeared out of thin air!
"Kuao!" Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes and let out a lion's roar from the spiritual level.
In reality, because of Xie Yuan's roar, Keira could clearly feel a tremor in your soul, and the demon spirits were even dispersed by this roar.
The prelude took effect, and Xie Yuan did not hold back any effort. He directly recited the Great Light Mantra silently in his heart, and opened up the light of wisdom in his soul, pushing it with his energy and blood, causing the Buddha's light in his heart to shine brightly!
"Ah!!!!" Amidst the screams, the demon spirit was suddenly burned until its appearance was completely burned, and then disappeared into the world of the world, leaving only a pile of demon spirit residue.
"This is not something that ordinary warriors can learn..." Keira came up quietly and retorted to Xie Yuan.
"This is not magic." Xie Yuan agreed with the first part, but she did not agree with Keira's hidden meaning behind it.
"Ah, forget it! Your soul power is like an iceberg, and it can be called a warlock. You should be a natural warlock. Isn't there anyone in your area who learns magic?"
Keira probed directly.
But Xie Yuan wanted to hurry up: "We still have things to do! Let's hurry up - we have to race against time with the Wild Hunt Knight."
After collecting the gadgets left by the evil spirit, and following the swallow symbol, the two found the second projection of Avallac'h.
This time he left a direct message: "Swallow, the obvious path is not necessarily the best, look for the Kelpies."
This thing literally means sea monster, but in fact it is also the name of Ciri’s beloved horse, a black horse.
So this time the answer to the mystery required finding the engraved symbol of a horse - it turned out that this thing was set under the water and was a switch for a magic mechanism array.
After surfacing, they continued to search for the way forward. They finally came to a sealed wall with swallow symbols on both sides and on the top.
"No wonder we were interrupted by the teleportation! It's pretty good if we didn't lose our lives," Keira explained to Xie Yuan, "It's precisely because the inverted teleportation gate interfered here that the teleportation failed."
The good news is that this is a permanent portal designed by Avallac'h for Ciri, and it is almost impossible for bugs to occur - this chance is almost very small according to Keira's description.
But the bad news is that no one knows what will be encountered on the other side of the portal.
But the matter has come to this, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, so Xie Yuan and Keira can only bravely walk into the portal.
After entering the portal, Xie Yuan took a breath when he saw the monster in front of him, then slowly took out the two sticks from behind and started splicing them together.
"Roar!!!" Just a roaring sound was heard, and a burst of green light suddenly appeared in the darkness that had just been in a state of deathly silence!
A huge creature appeared in the sight of Xie Yuan and Kaila.
