Su Lun also did not expect that the ancient ruins of the Cursed Valley would actually be involved in the ancient secrets of the collapse of the Dawn Era.
If this is really the "God Burial Place" that Mr. Jing said, it is dangerous on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is really interested in going to see it.
Without much delay, Su Lun and Yuta climbed up the 100-meter-high broken wall and immediately took in the outline of the giant tree.
Su Lun had seen it before because of the vision shared by the black crows, but his expression was as usual.
But Yuta was shocked when he saw it, "This... is really [God Burial]!"
The tree crown covers the sky and the sun, like a huge island in the sky.
The sun shines down from the top, illuminating a dreamlike scene.
I don’t know where the water comes from, but there is actually a white water waterfall hanging on the giant tree. The water of the waterfall falls for thousands of meters, and the roaring sound of the water can be heard from a distance. The light shines down under the waterfall, creating a colorful rainbow.
, like a ribbon.
Su Lun looked at the flying creatures that occasionally passed by on the tree crown, and his eyes were slightly stern.
That was not a "bird", but a huge flesh-winged deformed monster like an airplane.
Looking at the big tree, Su Lun had an inexplicable feeling in his heart: The giant tree was at least five hundred years old, and it had obviously formed its own ecological circle. Could it be that there was something very terrifying hidden in the strong necromantic aura that had been shrouded all year round?
monster?
But my thoughts were still racing, the fog came over again, my clear vision was blocked, and my eyes became hazy again.
"Let's go and take a look."
Su Lun greeted.
Jutta also nodded.
The two jumped down from the city wall.
The giant tree in front of them looks like a big mountain. They are now to the south of the tree, while the people of the Luying Royal Legion are to the north.
Although [Bury the Gods] is a divine skill, it is naturally not easy to be broken. Su Lun plans to go and see how far those guys have discovered it first.
.......
The two crossed the city wall, and the terrain had a slight slope. It looked like dirt, but it had already entered the coverage area of the roots of the giant tree.
Here, ruins can be seen everywhere, and they are all very huge.
Su Lun roughly estimated the proportions of the building and guessed that the average height of the "aboriginals" who once lived here should be more than five meters.
The average is much taller than those of today's ice giants.
Because he had been attacked by the [Human Face Rotten Flower] before, Su Lun became very careful and would scan almost everything with the Eye of Omniscient.
Neither of them encountered any danger.
But while walking, Su Lun suddenly stopped.
When he looked at Jutta, his eyes were slightly different after he got off the city wall, as if he was often distracted.
Su Lun thought she was being affected by the increasingly strong necromantic aura and had been contaminated unknowingly, so she asked: "Yuta, did you notice anything wrong?"
Juta glanced at him and knew what Su Lun was asking again, so he shook his head.
"I'm fine. On the contrary, I feel much better than before."
She seemed to be experiencing another feeling. She hesitated for a moment, and then said in an uncertain tone: "It seems that after walking into the scope of this giant tree, being protected by the ancestors of the clan, those negative effects are getting weaker and weaker...
"
"Is it getting weaker?"
When Su Lun heard this, he realized that he did not feel this way.
Thinking that this giant tree was transformed by the ancestors of the Daru tribe, he also felt that what Yuta said seemed reasonable.
Out of caution, Su Lun carefully checked Juta's condition and found that it was indeed better than before, so he didn't worry too much.
.......
The two continued to go deeper and discovered more and more scattered buildings among the entangled roots.
Among the dirt and grass, there are some huge rusted weapons, such as axes, shields, helmets, armors, etc., but most of them are corroded and out of shape.
Su Lun also collected some precious metals that could be refined and reused and took them away.
Opening up wasteland has indeed yielded good results.
The metal fragments along the way are probably worth several million liso.
The two planned to bypass the roots of the giant tree and go to the north to see what the people of Lu Ying's Holy Judgment Legion were doing.
But on the way, a relatively complete building caused the two of them to stop.
.......
"Mr. Su Lun, look over there!"
Jutta saw with his eyes that he discovered the stone pillar hidden in the tangled roots.
Then, when they got closer, they discovered that there were many huge stone pillars twenty to thirty meters tall. There were also domes with distinctive styles in the ruins. They didn't look like private houses, but like temples.
Su Lun and the others happened to be passing by, so they took a closer look.
The entrance was covered with vines. Juta nimbly got in first with the magic lamp, followed closely by Suellen.
The space inside is quite small, but because it is entangled with tree roots and does not see light all year round, the hall is cold and damp.
Su Lun sensed that there were some not too strong soul fires hidden in the dark corners. Looking at the shadows that occasionally passed quickly in the darkness, they seemed to be lizard-like deformed monsters, about twenty or thirty of them.
The monster didn't come looking for trouble, and Su Lun didn't bother to clean it up.
Part of the main hall collapsed, and what was left was about the size of a football field. The magic light source could illuminate most of it.
Su Lun also saw several incomplete statues. As he guessed, most of these statues had simple horn helmets and weapons, and exposed muscular upper bodies. They should be the approximate appearance of those giants at the time.
He was studying the statue, but at this time, Jutta next to him discovered something and whispered: "Mr. Su Lun, there is a relief here!"
"Relief?"
Su Lun also looked in the direction Juta pointed and saw several large stone slabs with textures in the collapsed corner.
He wanted to find some written records along the way to see what the ruins of this giant city were like.
Unfortunately it has never been found.
He also guessed that the ancient giant civilization in this city might be similar to the current ice giants and did not have their own writing.
Now that Su Lun heard about the reliefs, he was also looking forward to it. He was proficient in archeology and naturally knew that some ancient civilizations may not have written characters, but reliefs are an important means of recording events.
The two walked over, and Su Lun looked at the contents on the relief.
Indeed, as he expected, this was a relief sculpture originally used by this giant city to record events.
Due to hundreds of years of humidity, the reliefs have been severely corroded and many places have become blurred.
Reliefs are scattered everywhere, but Su Lun's current brain development is very efficient in processing these scattered information. Even if he can't see everything, he can guess the general content.
He saw that it was a recorded incident of some strong giants killing monsters.
"It seems that this giant tribe should have known that the 'God Burial Ground' was sealed here for a long time?"
Su Lun looked at the monster images on the murals that were obviously not creatures from this plane, but looked more like aberrations or undead, and guessed something.
But there is another problem:
The Daru people once encountered a catastrophe here that was close to annihilation.
How did this giant city that was once underground collapse long before that?
........
"Mr. Su Lun, there is another piece here!"
"There is also a piece here..."
"And here..."
"...."
In the dark hall, Su Lun looked all the way, and Yuta also helped him find many stone slabs hidden among the root vines.
Originally, he thought that the reliefs were probably all documentary stories.
But later,
But I saw some "mythical stories".
For example, a certain glowing giant killed a sun monster in the deep sea;
Another example is when a certain supreme god bleeds from his knees, and the giant race is born...
The plot of the story seems absurd, almost like listening to a myth.
But Su Lun was not surprised either.
The giants have belief in gods.
If you have faith, you may myth something.
Alchemists are a very special group of people. They have no belief in gods. Therefore, they usually have a neutral attitude towards ordinary gods, and even have a slightly critical eye.
Some preachers collect faith in order to create gods, and use some magic or alchemy to create certain "miracles" to deceive ordinary people into believing in them.
Therefore, many of the myths circulating now may be true or false, but they may not necessarily have happened in ancient times.
Su Lun originally thought that there was no information worthy of attention from the contents of these murals.
But looking at it,
However, he was attracted by the contents of a fragmented relief sculpture.
This was obviously another slate from a fairy tale, but Su Lun couldn't look away.
Because, this experience made him feel inexplicably familiar!
.......
That relief carving depicts a man with a halo behind him, a man riding a horse.
Probably a god.
He found a "spring" guarded by giants.
The two of them pointed at the spring water, as if they were talking about something.
Then the content of the mural is broken.
The content on the other half of the mural was very bloody. The man with the aperture only had one eye left, which was still bleeding. Then he was hung upside down on a tree and impaled with a spear.
Then, something like a "symbol" seemed to fall from the tree, and there was an expression on his face as if he had found a treasure?
"this..."
When Su Lun saw this one eye, he unconsciously thought of the scene where he sacrificed an eye in Storm Manor and obtained the [Eye of Omniscience].
Although most of the content of the mural was missing, a strange guess came to his mind at this moment: "Could it be that the god in this mural sacrificed an eye and then dropped something from the tree in exchange?
"
Su Lun looked familiar at the "symbol" that fell from the tree.
Kind of like a rune?
He now knows a lot about this world, but he has never heard of the second ritual that requires the sacrifice of eyes.
Is it possible that this mural is related to the Eye of Omniscience?
Unfortunately, the relief is blurry and incomplete, and no other useful information can be found.
Thinking of this, Su Lun frowned slightly.
If we can find the complete mural, we may know what this "myth" is.
.......
No other useful murals were found in the dilapidated hall, so Su Lun and the two planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, at this time, I actually heard rapid footsteps outside.
It sounded like someone was running fast.
There are also some subtle sounds of armor touching.
Juta's hearing was sharper than Su Lun's, and she was immediately startled: "There is someone nearby!"
The two of them looked at each other, silently silently reaching out and hiding among the vines.
Not long after, they saw the source of the distant sound.
That was a group of more than ten armored sergeants, chasing several huge gray wolves.
"A warrior from the Gray Wolf Tribe?"
Su Lun immediately recognized that those gray wolves were not monsters, but Daru tribesmen who had transformed into beasts.
Juta's expression on the side changed even more, and his fangs and claws immediately transformed into a beast.
However, she did not act impulsively, but stared around with stern eyes. She naturally knew that there was a very powerful human legion nearby, and taking rash actions would not solve the problem at all except for death.
Several gray wolves were chased in a very embarrassing manner. Two of them had bloody holes pierced by spears. Even though they were following the complicated terrain, they could not run fast. The other few refused to abandon their companions to escape. It seemed that sooner or later they would be killed behind them.
The sergeant caught up.
Su Lun was not in a hurry to take action, but focused on some details.
"That's weird, what does the red cloth mean?"
He saw something strange. Each of those armored sergeants had a piece of red cloth wrapped around their arms.
Su Lun thought it had some special effect, but upon inspection, it turned out to be an ordinary [blood-stained cloth]?
Although he didn't think about it, he didn't think about the obvious abnormalities.
Killing Soul Search will have a more direct effect.
He is a descendant of the Isaac lineage, and it is impossible for him to watch the Daru tribesmen being killed, both emotionally and rationally.
The black crow flew in the sky and saw no other pursuers.
Su Lun also felt relieved and glanced at Yuta beside him, and the two of them rushed out in tacit understanding.
.......
The team of pursuing sergeants were all royal elites, and they were obviously wary of being attacked by surprise.
As soon as Su Lun and the two set off, they were discovered immediately.
Moreover, looking at the combination of one person and one white wolf, the leader's expression changed, and he immediately shouted: "Send the signal!"
Su Lun knew that he had been recognized.
Previously, I killed the hunchbacked old man in the Gray Wolf tribe and left some people alive.
Apparently the news has spread.
So as soon as the sergeants saw him, they immediately prepared to call for reinforcements.
But Su Lun would not give them this chance.
He stepped on the air and repeatedly made "pop-pop" sounds in the air. He also used spatial displacement during his rapid dash.
The dash + spatial displacement made him look like a ghost, and he rushed into the enemy team in the blink of an eye.
Although the leader was only a third-level major officer, his armor was all standard equipment of the Royal Legion and his defense was super strong. It was almost impossible for Su Lun to kill them instantly.
But he couldn't just watch these people send out signals.
Just when the man rushed over, Su Lun pinched the surgeon's seal and took off his clothes at the same time.
"It's also a good time to try out my new reproductive equipment ability!"
He grasped the void with his fingers and said to himself: "Spiritual Alchemy·Shadow Killing Technique!"
.......
That elite team apparently also obtained information about the Sullun Society's spatial displacement methods.
Therefore, with a tactical gesture from the leading major, more than ten people immediately dispersed and fled. They had no intention of fighting head-on, and at the same time they took out their signal transmitters.
As long as anyone can send out a signal, high-level professionals will immediately lead a team to reinforce them.
Hold on for a moment, and the crisis will be over.
However, a scene that they never expected happened.
All they saw was that the figure suddenly teleported and appeared in the crowd, just preparing to fight...
Sudden!
Without any warning, everyone's bodies froze there!
As if they suddenly lost control of their bodies, they found that they could no longer feel the existence of their bodies.
Everyone was frightened.
"No, it's mind control!"
The leader discovered something and tried to use his willpower to break free from control.
However, how could Su Lun give him a chance?
The witch can get through any gaps in her hair, so this armor with super strong defense is completely useless.
He had tried it on Yuta many times on the way here, and he was already familiar with the use of [Psychic Tentacles].
The purpose of taking action is to kill people.
As he rushed into the crowd, a strange scene happened.
The soldiers in armor stiffened and each one of them took out his dagger without hesitation. Then he thrust it into the gap in his helmet.
The next moment, the sharp blade penetrated the brain from the eye socket without any obstruction.
More than a dozen people, without any resistance, instantly turned into more than a dozen corpses.
The third-level captain still tried his best to resist, his trembling arms trying to prevent the sharp knife from piercing.
Su Lun slapped the end of the handle of the knife with his palm and sent him away.
On the other hand, the remaining enemies who were far away were also entangled by Yuta and the returning gray wolves, and had no chance to send out a signal.
.......
Not long after, the battle ended.
Suellen harvested the soul fragments of this group of people.
Only then did he know what the red cloth wrapped around these people's arms was for.
Juta's feeling before was correct.
This giant tree will indeed protect the Daru people.
If other races break in, they will be strangled by the ubiquitous vine tree demons and monsters. Those people from the Luying Royal Legion suffered a big loss before.
The cloth stained with the blood of the Daru tribe has the effect of temporary shelter.
Su Lun's previous guess was also correct. There were many cursed spaces here due to the previous wars.
Those members of the Lu Ying royal family solved many problems and discovered that this city contained some "ancient secrets".
And now those people have brought a [Forbidden Object] and are destroying the last super-large cursed space that caused them heavy casualties.
Su Lun guessed through the intelligence that the huge cursed space might be related to the truth of the war that year.
