The underground leading to the ruins is a group of caves that are fragmented like a honeycomb. It extends in all directions below, and the surface of the rock is gray and dark. Luminous crystal clusters grow from the top of the cave. There are some growths in the darkness that can be seen in low light conditions.
Survivable moss has curled feathery leaves like a thin, dry carpet.
When you step on it, it will make a rustling sound, like a mysterious whisper in the darkness, echoing in your ears.
Fang Yu suddenly stopped. The system prompted him that Luo Yu had sent an email. He opened the email and read it out with a somewhat surprised tone: "What? Miss Sylvide is missing?"
Everyone stopped and turned to look at him.
Parker, who was walking at the front, grabbed the torch with his chubby hand and waved it vigorously, as if to dispel the darkness, before turning back and asking: "What's the matter? What's the matter again? Are we close to our destination? Thank God, this trial
It’s really hard work.”
"We've only been in for five minutes." The boy in the second grade of middle school, Xiang Xiang, replied in a cold voice.
"What's wrong, my human brother?" Tenaric asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing." Fang Yu shook his head. The message from Luo Yu was just such a meaningless sentence. He glanced at it again and asked the others: "Do you feel that someone is quietly following us?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Fang Yu turned back suspiciously, looked at the dark cave behind him, and shook his head: "I don't want to forget it, let's move on." He said so, but he still took off a 'goblin' from his belt, delicately
The construct flicked its wings in his hand and suddenly flew into the darkness in that direction.
A few people were walking through a remaining hall. Both the east and west sides had collapsed, making it seem a bit empty. The light range of the torches was extremely limited, and the collapsed walls blended into the darkness, like the silent corpses of two giants.
Fang Plover raised his head and looked at this place silently.
"Ta-Sok-Araando." Tenarik's scaly claws grasped the double-headed spear tightly, and he was making the same movement. A string of strange notes, with a hissing sound, came from the lizard man.
The prince said it.
"Majestic and magnificent." It explained.
This is one of the holy places for the incubation of ancient snake people, the Black Holy City. However, in the historical documents of Aitaria, there are not many records about this place or anything about Sinsas, and there are no relevant written records.
too much.
Fang Plover looked at this place, somewhat lost in thought.
Teneric glanced at him with his scorched yellow eyes and asked: "You seem to be thinking about something, my human brother."
Fang Yu nodded and answered without hesitation: "I was thinking about what I saw before, that black obelisk."
The first rumor he heard about the obelisk was about the location of the Elven Holy Grail. The ancient song sung from Rainbow Bay has yet to find its true source. And Etila's younger brother, a man who lives in Sanshak
The forest elf has almost nothing to do with this, but because of the hiring of a stranger, he joined the adventure group and eventually died in a foreign country.
Even the starlight has disappeared, and the cause of his death is still a mystery.
Behind it is the Dragon Worship Cult and the Dragon Witch incident a hundred years ago. There are so many clues that it is difficult to grasp the main clue. And the person who hired them behind the scenes is also hidden in the mist, and he still doesn’t know the secret.
Will Rand know the identity of the other party during this trip?
He looked down at the back of his hand. The metal shell of the reinforced glove shone slightly in the light of the fire. There was the mark of the Hailin Crown underneath. He originally thought it had no connection with this series of events.
But Toragotos' words overturned his previous view. Only the holder of the Hailin Crown is qualified to touch the obelisk. The legend of the five holy objects seems to be vaguely connected.
Behind it are legends about thousands of years ago, Xinthus, Numelin, the Disaster of Eshorin, the Second Bane Star and the Tail of the Serpent. Fang Plover felt more and more as if he had unintentionally entered the center of a whirlpool.
, it may be related to the third misfortune star, and the dragon witch and the obelisk are just symbols before the advent of this era.
But what exactly it means behind this, no one knows.
What will the Third Bane bring? Will it be the same disaster as the Disaster of Eshorin? Or will it be the resurgence of dark power? But what happened thousands of years ago cannot give him the answer, because people know very little about it, except for the giants.
Apart from the incomplete mythical legend about the dark dragon, it seems that nothing more can be found.
People don’t even know why the Numerin elves, who have experienced the entire disaster of Eshorin, left and where they went? Do they know that there will be another disaster that will befall Aitaria, and because of this?
Did they just choose to leave?
They only left the last magical technology to mankind, but not a single word of warning about the future. It was just like leaving behind an eternal puzzle.
Maybe there are still dragon slayers who know that ancient story.
But Mazak finally told him that humans only joined the ranks of resisting the dragons in the late period of that dark age. Although those who drank dragon blood were favored by the fairies, they could not avoid a tragic fate.
Except for the eternal hatred of the ancient knowledge of the past, the rest has long been eliminated through generations of internecine killings.
As for the goblins, they never tell stories about the past.
Although Fang Yu didn't think he would be the one to solve this mystery, the black obelisk below the trial site still made him slightly uneasy, reminding him of Miss Attila.
The mysterious mastermind behind it always gives people an unpleasant experience of being spied on.
What's more, the entire Aitaria is currently in a delicate situation. Even people at the level of Fang Plover are vaguely aware of it. The Knights of the Ancient Tower have heard that rebellions are rising. Although there is no news about Oshu and Lotao,
According to the lion paladins, the Wilderness Kingdom is not stable either. Only Corin-Ithurian may still maintain a superficial calm.
But since the new king succeeded to the throne, the turbulent undercurrents beneath the surface have not only affected the indigenous people but have even begun to spread to the chosen ones. The long summer war between the descendants of Flor and the Rainbow Alliance is just the beginning, and Fen
A series of experiences during this trip to Lys Island seem to correspond to the first yellow fallen leaves before autumn in Aitaria.
Of course, Fang Yu knew that he had no access to higher-level information and could not determine the origin of this series of events. They might be accidents one by one, but he preferred to trust his intuition.
Be careful and you won't make a big mistake.
After listening to his words, Tenerik was silent for a moment, with a look of reminiscence in his lizard-like pupils that glowed coldly: "There is indeed such a legend in Andersock. The black obelisk symbolizes bad luck and misfortune -
Lord Atta told us that they contain the power of Avak."
"Avak?"
"That is a sacred text handed down from ancient times. The giant god of Xinsas, the great Kukulkan, defeated his old enemy Auleta in a bloody battle and bound the giant eagle with the thorn branches of the vine tree.
After the death of Oletta, the thorn branches of the cinnamon tree have been called the sacred awak."
All these words were said in vain, and Fang Plover also had a headache with the way these lizardmen narrated.
But not all was lost. The black obelisk contains the power of Avak. Could it be that the eye seen in the illusion is actually that of the giant eagle Auleta? But there are also some problems. Auleta has long been wiped out.
Moreover, thousands of years have passed since Kukulkan's time.
After the era of the Numelin elves, the gods of Orin became saints, and there was another era after that. There is no record of these ancient giants in the entire long elven era, let alone this mortal century.
It is impossible for the elves to have anything to do with the Holy Grail of Numerin and Auletta. They used the black obelisk to hide the information of the Holy Grail. They must have deeper considerations. And what kind of information is hidden on the Holy Grail of the elves?
What does it have to do with the prophecy spoken by Tenaric and the upcoming third evil star?
Fang Plover had no clue about this.
He had a vague feeling that the mysterious person behind him would know something, otherwise the other party would not have to spend so much time hiring people to find the obelisk under the abyss. The Dragon Worshipers should also have some clues, but they
The inheritance comes from the dark dragon Nicol Bolas.
Therefore, neither party will tell him the answer.
As well as the source of the rumor, who originally sung that ancient ballad in Rainbow Bay. People who know this secret will definitely not do anything meaningless, but it is still difficult to guess the other party's intentions.
In the end, the only ones left were the Jefflite Red Team, Silver Forest Spear and Miya. Fang Plover gently touched the back of his hand. In his eyes, the battle of Changxia was now far from just two forces competing for territory and wealth.
, and then there is obviously a more profound reason.
Since the battle at the Elven Ruins, the two sides had declared a truce. Fang Yu felt that he had already guessed the answer to what it meant.
When he thought of Miya, he also thought of Bai Hua, No. 16 of Traveler's Rest, and the members of Listening to the Rain. Which one is the true identity of the other? Hailin Crown in the Elf Ruins, Traveler
The Dragon's Golden Eyes in Zhixi and the obelisk here, their actions are obviously consistent.
But is the other party really related to Miya?
Then there is the conflict between the Rain Listeners and the Blood Oath. The disappearing guild leaders seem to be vaguely connected to the map printed on an obelisk. All the clues are intertwined with each other like balls of wool, making it difficult for them to understand.
Fang Plover couldn't help but feel a little big-headed.
Fortunately, he still had a bit of optimism, so he just didn't think about it when he couldn't figure it out. After putting aside such worries, his heart naturally became much quieter.
Looking at it on the bright side, at least he now knows more things, so he won't have a strange mark on the back of his hand, and he doesn't know the origin of the other party at all.
The truth will always come out one day.
After relaxing, he took a serious look at the ruins for the first time.
Just then Parker turned back and asked: "Speaking of which, we have been going around here, where are we going?"
"This is the slave area, the top floor of the Black Holy City," Fang Plover then said to the others: "The materials we bought from others said that there are a total of twelve exits on this floor. These exits are respectively
Leading to the next level.”
"But the people from the Jefflite Red Team and the Blood Oaths who came in first will definitely occupy the nearest exit. And if they have enough manpower, the second exit may not be safe."
"Although we should be able to handle it, I don't want to alert them so early. In this trial, the people from the red team Jeflett and Silver Vislan will almost certainly be our main opponents. Of course, it is not ruled out.
There are other masters among those participating in this trial."
"Don't forget those who listen to the rain, and those who listen to the rain should not be underestimated." The middle school boy mentioned this.
Fang Yu glanced at him in surprise: "I thought you would deliberately skip this point."
"It's one thing and another. If the people from the Tempest Brigade were here, I would definitely not take action against them." Box replied, "But the boss of Gubaizhiye and the others can't get in. I'm going to listen to the rain."
I’m not familiar with the other people inside.”
"Then let's go to Exit 3?" Parker asked.
"There is a high probability that we will meet the people from Silver Vislan at the third exit, but if we take a long way, it will be difficult for us to catch up with the people from Jefflett's red team." Fang Plover said to the others: "
What do you think?"
"Andasok's warriors don't know what it means to give in." Tenaric replied in a low voice.
"Then let's fight with the people from Silver Vislan first," the Papalar man danced: "I don't think they are very powerful. I remember when I was in the Hill of Giant Trees, those guys..."
Fang Yu interrupted him: "Well, except for the adventurers, there are no threatening monsters on the first floor. They are all low-level phantoms created by Toragotos. Let's just take a shortcut and penetrate through the center."
He looked at the lizardman prince of Andersok and mentioned: "Tenaric, we have only seen the map, but those second-hand maps we bought may not be reliable, especially the lower floors. But the city of Sinsas
They are very similar, but you should be familiar with them, so you can lead the way."
Teneric nodded slightly.
Just as Fang Plover said, the group of people walked through the atrium of the 'Slave Market' and encountered some insignificant phantoms of the undead along the way. Monsters of only level 4 or 5 did not even need Fang Plover to take action as a vanguard.
Parker alone is enough to sweep it all.
After those things fell to the ground, the illusion faded and turned into dust without any loot.
The slave area is divided into seven areas. The third entrance is located in the center of the second area. Of course, this place has been destroyed by the force of nature once before. The entire ruins appear to be fragmented and intertwined with natural rock formations.
As expected, there were some problems with the map that they bought. They relied on Tenerik to find the way. Fang Pulwart and his party were able to arrive here in time. However, unexpectedly, they did not meet the Silver Vislan people, but met a group of people.
Adventure team.
Those people were afraid that they would activate the mechanism first, so they attacked here as soon as they met. However, there were no surprises in the battle. Box took control of the opponent's magician as soon as he made a move, and Tenerik defeated the opponent's two iron guards.
Even if they couldn't afford it, Parker used every opportunity to make sneak attacks, so the battle was almost one-sided in their favour.
The opponent will collapse at the first touch.
Except for the box, no one else tried their best, so only the magician died on the spot. The box also found some fully charged magic storage crystals from the opponent and threw them to Parker.
Although it was difficult for the opponent to move forward after losing the magician, Fang Plover still activated the mechanism when passing through the exit, activating the golem guards here to prevent the opponent from catching up and seeking revenge.
This is also a small setting in the trial.
At the exit of each floor, there are two guard golems designed by Toragotos sleeping here. They will obey the orders of the first group of passing testers and block subsequent entrants.
Of course, the guards are not impossible to defeat, but casualties are inevitable, and it is a waste of time. If you miss the first batch of opportunities to enter the twelve exits, you basically miss out on high scores.
In this trial, the competition is even more fierce, because there may be only one winner in the end.
