Fang Yu watched the fine stones tumbling and falling into the abyss, and soon disappeared. There was a crashing sound from below, and the sound was as deep as there was no end. He raised his head and looked at the abyss cliff in front of him.
, the cliff stretches endlessly to the left and right in the darkness, and the edge is almost invisible - the road ends here.
He turned around and asked Nini: "Are you here?"
Nini, who was held in Tian Lan's hand, knelt down and supported her hands, nodding obediently: "It's Papa, here!"
"But there is no road here anymore." Tianlan stretched his neck, looked around for a while, then looked away, lifted Nini up, and asked doubtfully: "Nini, Nini, don't you
Could it be a mistake?"
Nini couldn't understand such complicated words. She blinked her curious pupils and looked at Tianlan. She probably thought that the other party was playing some kind of game with her, so she shook her little tail and fiddled with Tianlan's palm.
Tian Lan couldn't stand this and immediately surrendered: "Nini, now is not the time to play!" But she said this, but she had no intention of refusing at all.
Fang Yu had no intention of playing around with the two of them. Nini seemed to have noticed something in the darkness - from the moment she took the initiative to appear. The little girl is very lively, but sometimes she is also lazy and a little shy.
She rarely leaves his spiritual world unless absolutely necessary, especially when her sister Tata is not around.
He turned back to the Lion Paladin and said, "Mr. Reid, what do you think?"
The big cat man squatted down and scratched the edge of the cliff with his claws, the rings on his mane jingling, "Do you think that place is down here?"
Fang Yu nodded, he indeed thought so. Although the little girl was confused and her mind was not fully mature, as a dragon soul born from the Dragon's Golden Dragon, her perception was extremely sharp. If she thought that the previous
If there is something, then there must be something. The only difference is what it is.
The big cat man's armor made a sound, and he reached out and pulled out his sword from behind: "Then put those little things down and take a look. I'll help you be vigilant about the surroundings."
"Trouble, Mr. Reid," Fang Plover took out the Silver Bee from under his coat and held it in his hand. This delicate gadget flapped its wings and flew gently, drawing a silver arc.
Flying into the darkness below.
He pulled down his goggles and looked down, but after a while, he couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh" sound. He let the Silver Bee fly downwards, and what came into view were only gray rocks, and there was no depth below.
It bottomed out and it flew for nearly a minute without reaching the end.
But just when he was about to continue to find out, he suddenly felt that he had lost contact with the clockwork fairy, and the picture in his field of vision became pitch black.
On the side, several people from Underground Walnuts brought the beast of burden over and stopped it not far away. He turned around and asked Bei Ji to wait for them at that place, and then walked over with Ti Pea and others. He happened to see this scene and couldn't bear it.
Zhu opened his mouth and asked: "Captain Ed, what happened?"
Fang Yu shook his head and took out the second silver bee. However, he did not rush to release it. Instead, he recalled what happened before and then raised his hands. Everyone looked at the silver bee.
The construct flew up in his palm, but this time it did not fly downward, but flew forward.
In everyone's field of vision, the silver light flew about twenty meters away, but at that place, it suddenly disappeared without a trace again. Fang Yu was slightly startled, and he received the same response again.
——The Clockwork Fairy lost contact with himself.
"What's wrong?" Rhett frowned and asked Fang Plover.
"Wait a minute, isn't that an illusion?" But Walnut Underground looked in that direction and asked as if something suddenly occurred to him.
This sentence undoubtedly reminded Fang Pliong. He suddenly realized something and used his control gloves to pull it slightly backward. Regardless of whether his construct could receive this order, he first issued a flying back command.
instruction.
And just in front of everyone, the next moment a silver light shuttled out from the darkness, and the disappeared Silver Bee appeared in front of everyone again. "Mystery Barrier," the big cat man was also well-informed.
, saw this scene and whispered: "This is a large illusion array."
Fang Yu nodded, and he also noticed this. But it was not just an illusion, it was a multi-functional hidden barrier, which could at least block perception. He let Silver Bee fly back,
He dropped it back into his hand, then turned around and looked at the walnuts on the ground with surprise.
"How did you recognize that it was an illusion?"
Underground Walnut scratched his head. He probably didn't expect that he could really help. He said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't recognize it either, but the situation just now is a bit similar to the mythical barrier where our guild is stationed."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this. He thought that this was probably because he was in a different environment and had different experiences. The Mystical Barrier was a standard feature of large cities and guilds. They were already used to seeing walnuts in the ground, but
I really don’t have much contact with the Seven Seas Troupe.
Fortunately, the Seven Seas Brigade took a few of them with them this time, and accidentally tried out the illusion. This hidden barrier was separated from them by a cliff. If they just used the Clockwork Fairy to explore it, it would be really difficult for a while.
You must understand its principle clearly.
"Jita," he said at this time, "can you find a way to dismantle it?"
Now that we have discovered that there is a mysterious barrier here, the next thing will be easier to handle. Fang Yu knows that no matter how magical the permanent spell is, it must have a support. The spell can be in mid-air, but the magic circle cannot be drawn in the air.
There must be something hidden on the other side of this illusion in the air, and that is the purpose of the existence of this mysterious barrier.
Jita blinked slowly and looked in that direction in the darkness. The deep darkness seemed to form a shadow in her eyes. She put her little hand on the magic book, and due to the magic induction, a series of spells appeared in her mind.
among.
This step should have been completed with the help of the system, but because of the words of the great magician, she became more and more inclined to rely on her own ability to remember those spells - and the speed of her spell casting became faster and faster.
Slowly, but increasingly accurate and steady - and calm.
Calmness is a trait of a spell caster, but not everyone who chooses has such a valuable trait.
Of course, except in front of Fang Yu. When the spells lit up in the darkness one after another under her gestures, Jita suddenly said in a panic: "Ai, Brother Ed, I think I can do it."
Less than…”
Fang Yu was startled, but he immediately thought that Jita's level was still very low. The caster who could construct such a huge mythical barrier must be a very high level caster. Miss Naturalist couldn't suppress this spell, and it was very difficult.
Normal things.
"That doesn't matter," he replied, "we'll find another way."
But Jita shook her head hurriedly: "...No, it's not, but...I mean..." She was so anxious that she almost cried while maintaining the spell, "I mean...I can suppress it temporarily,
But there’s no way to lift it…”
"Then suppress it temporarily," Fang Yu said, a little dumbfounded, "How long can it last?"
"About a few minutes."
"enough."
Fang Yu gave the other party an encouraging look and signaled her to just do it.
Jita then relaxed and calmed down again. The spells that were about to collapse were stabilized again by her efforts. She put her mind deep into the huge structure, and then searched for the key spells bit by bit.
Character.
Large-scale barriers also have powerful self-repair capabilities, but as Karatu said, Miss Naturalist seems to have an almost instinctive sensitivity to breaking and undoing curses, and to the nature of ether and elements. She caught a fleeting moment.
The opportunity passed by to temporarily block part of the spell in the magic circle, and at that moment, the scene in front of everyone changed:
The darkness faded away like a tide, as if a hole had opened in the wall of illusion, allowing the light of the torch in Parker's hand to continue to extend forward, reflecting the other side of the cliff.
The endless abyss there disappeared, and what appeared in front of them was a crack about twenty meters wide——
The broken road continues to extend forward at the other end of the gap.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Of course, such a hidden barrier would not be formed naturally. Combining the clues they had discovered before, those people used this mysterious barrier to hide something.
Almost ready to come out.
The things that the enemy does not want them to see are more likely to be the other party's secrets and weaknesses. No matter how deep they hide it, there will be a time when their weaknesses are revealed.
Miss Naturalist looked at the situation over there, and this time she no longer needed Fang Plover to remind her. She said softly: "Regiment, leader, I can make a rock bridge..."
"Leave it to you, Jita." Fang Pliong replied decisively.
Jita took a breath and nodded.
However, Miss Naturalist's spell could not last too long, especially when she had to maintain the suppression of illusion. Fang Plov immediately turned around and looked at the others - of course, mainly the big cat man and the walnut in the ground.
Others: "Mr. Red, please stay here; and Walnut, you too, the beast of burden can only be left to your care."
The big cat man put the sword on his shoulder and nodded.
Naturally, the Walnuts Underground didn't express any objection.
Then he said to the Papalar man: "Parker, you come with me."
"Why me?" Parker was immediately dissatisfied. Why did the Papalar people have to do dangerous work without raising their wages? After all, do they really get paid? This is simply not the case.
They exploit labor and become slave labor.
Although the Papalar people are soft-spoken, they must not compromise on this.
"But there might be treasure down there."
"Okay, leave it to me. We'll split half of it when we meet."
But it is impossible to share half of the money during the meeting. It is the public property of the Seven Seas Brigade and belongs to everyone in the team. "Ed." Fang Plover turned around and looked at the ship officer who stopped him with some surprise.
Miss.
Sylvide didn't speak, but the meaning in her bright eyes said everything. Fang Yu was slightly startled and couldn't help but hesitate: "Silweid... I can't... this time..."
The ship officer only smiled slightly and used a rare commanding tone: "Take Siesta with you."
Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at the stern-faced maid beside him. Of course he understood what she was thinking. But he didn't pretend to be pretentious and nodded directly. Shesta's combat effectiveness was one of the best in their team. The big cat man stayed behind.
Here, it would make sense for the maid lady to be with them.
At this time, Jita raised her hand, and a bright light appeared on the magic book, and a naturally formed rock bridge suddenly emerged from the edge of the cliff, connecting to the other end. The three of them did not dare to wait any longer, and rushed onto the stone bridge one after another.
The Papalar man rushed forward with a pair of short legs. He seemed to be afraid that the stone bridge would collapse under his feet. When he approached the other side of the cliff, he swooped down and rolled over like a ball. Fang Plover fell.
In the second place, it's not that Siesta couldn't run away from him, but that the maid just stayed behind him intentionally.
However, he probably disliked him for being too slow, so the latter simply grabbed him, took him by the collar and stepped off the bridge, then threw him to the ground.
Fang Yu felt the world was spinning and he fell hard. However, as soon as the two of them got off the bridge, the rock bridge suddenly collapsed behind them. He turned back and looked in that direction, and saw that the scene on the other side of the cliff quickly disappeared.
The cracks in the wall of illusion are getting smaller and smaller, eventually shrinking to a gap.
After a while, it was finally shrouded in darkness again.
Fang Plover looked in that direction. Beyond the cliff in this direction, there was only the abyss he had seen before. He tried to contact the other side, but as he expected, there was still some shielding from this mysterious barrier.
Ability, communication crystal has lost its function.
Opening the system and pulling out the light page, the community can still log in as usual. The military-led stargate communication capability is really powerful. The only time he has encountered someone who can block stargate communications so far is the one he used in Istar.
That's what happened in Nigeria.
But seriously speaking, it was actually related to the upgrade of the Star Gate.
In the darkness, Siesta stood silently, looking around, her eyes as bright as those of a cat. Although she was a human, she had been trained to adapt perfectly to such a dark environment, although there was no cave.
If it's daytime, at least there are no movement restrictions.
The Papalar people have a certain ability to see in the dark. They climbed up, dusted themselves off, and made the only noise in the darkness and silence. Only Fang Plover lacked the ability to see in the dark - he
In fact, it once existed, but the power of Dragon King's Heart seems to have disappeared after Idos, and sometimes it works sometimes.
He had no choice but to take out a rosin torch and light it, and the bright orange firelight filled his vision again. The light spread along the deep road extending forward, outlining the outlines and shadows of the strangely shaped rocks around it.
"Other people's adventurers are adventuring in those sunny forests with beautiful scenery, or they are accompanied by gold and silver treasures," Parker patted the dust on his body and looked at the evil environment around him.
, couldn't help but mutter: "But we are always crawling around in holes like this, dusty like mice, and have to face extremely vicious monsters, and no one has paid us yet. Seriously, I can't think of anything
What's the benefit of dealing with those dark believers."
Fang Yu glanced at him and said, "I've never heard of such an adventurer."
"That is just an exaggeration, but it cannot deny that our current situation is worrying."
"When you said there was treasure down here, that's not what you said."
"Well, those are two different things."
As Parker said this, he took off the magic crossbow from behind, and then lit the crystal in his magic furnace.
Fang Plover shook his head, raised the torch, and illuminated the road ahead. Shesta looked at the two people and did not participate in the discussion between them. She just followed silently. However, she also extended her hand to
Behind his back, he inserted the gauntlet and then took it off.
The three of them walked along the rugged road and soon made a discovery.
That was the remains of a construct—to be precise, it should be a part of a construct.
This piece of wreckage just appeared on the roadside, the metal shell gleaming under the firelight. Judging from its slender appearance, it should be part of the limbs. Of course, there may be exceptions - after all, some structures are
Those with tentacles, such as the Kraken configuration.
Fang Plover picked up the construct from a pile of rubble, but felt a little strange. At this time, the Papalar man on the side took the torch from his hand, looked at the thing in his hand, and asked: "
What is this, a fragment of a combat construct?"
Fang Yu nodded, but then shook his head.
His first impression was that it was somewhat unique. There seemed to be some subtle differences between this fragment and the construct he knew.
He has never seen a structure of this style - of course, it does not mean that he has seen all the structures, and the dragon hunter is also a structure that he has never seen before - but the fragment in his hand
It's different. Because no matter how unique the dragon hunter is, no matter how outstanding its performance is, except for the star instrument and the crystal in its head, most of its structure can be understood.
But this fragment...
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was not the product of alchemists, but something that grew naturally. He could not find a transmission device on this fragment, let alone a source of power. Only a strange metal fiber made it up.
of tendons.
It also has bones, but it is made of another metal that Fang Plover has never seen before. It is neither fine gold nor mithril. The metal fibers cover the bones, and then there is a layer of flexibility and strength.
Very tall metal casing.
This thing does not look like a construct, but rather like some kind of non-carbon-based creature. Every precise part of it is naturally grown. But if this thing is the work of a certain alchemist master, that master
His level must have been so high that he could only dream of it.
He has only seen the Zero Crystal of Hain-Fam, and has never seen what the works of the great alchemist Ed are, but he has a vague feeling that even the alchemists of the Numerin elves may not be able to do it.
There is no such technology.
Are there such alchemists among the dark believers? Or is this thing not actually a work of alchemy at all?
Fang Yu held the thing in his hands, calmed down, and tried to use the craftsman system to find out what was going on with the wreckage. But he was really surprised when he sunk his mind into the spiritual world. He found that for the first time,
There is no way to project the structure of this thing into the craftsman system.
This is something that has never happened before.
No matter how high-grade or complex a material is, including the piece of World Tree Heart that Munyarit gave him not long ago, he can project it into the craftsman system. From the perspective of Starlight,
Go look inside this material.
And this is the most basic understanding of the world by alchemists, and it can even be said to be the foundation of this world - Starlight.
He may not be able to 'operate' the material for a while because of his lack of ability. But Fang Yu has never encountered a situation where he couldn't even do something as basic as projecting the material into the craftsman system.
He was slightly startled, and for a moment he couldn't figure out if he had made a mistake, but after trying it two or three times, the result was still the same. The thing seemed to be in the real world, weighing heavily on his hand.
, no response at all.
Similarly, he really couldn't turn it into information and project it into the information crystal.
He couldn't help but look at this thing again seriously for the first time - wondering if this was also a product from the earth like him? But the next moment, he still found some familiar things on this fragment.
There were some strange symbols densely written on the dark metal shell of the place.
Fang Plover recognized some of these symbols. He immediately realized keenly that some of these symbols were the ancient alchemy formations of the Numerin elves, and some looked a bit like magic guides. Although these guides were not the same as
He has now seen all types of magic guides, all completely different, but they are indeed the same type in nature.
These two subtle discoveries immediately made Fang Plover realize that this thing was a work of alchemy. Moreover, when he saw these patterns, he felt vaguely familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
But he could clearly distinguish this from the ancient alchemy of the Numerin elves. At that time, a somewhat strange idea broke into his thoughts.
Those are the silent stars hanging in the dark sky.
That kind of picture seemed to come to life vividly in his mind. Fang Yu couldn't help but open his mouth, and finally suddenly remembered that he had seen something similar somewhere - the dark star, it was that one!
They were those strange structures that he had seen once before in the illusion of that high tower, and then once again in Luo Lin's hands.
Fang Plover couldn't help but open his mouth slightly - it turned out that those strange structures were not the only ones of this type.
At least the fragment in his hand right now is definitely not something higher than a clockwork fairy.
