This sudden scene startled Xue Hua, who thought he had accidentally touched some vicious mechanism.
However, just when he was about to release the insect swarm for defense, Isa told him in the main hive mind that this was just a psychic image and it did not pose any threat in itself.
Isa guessed that this gemstone decoration was not only a cleverly designed "recorder", but also a key used to open the psychic image on the arch. There must be very important information hidden in this image.
Hearing Isa's words, Xue Hua quickly turned around and walked to the image of the old cat person, wanting to see what message the cat people left here.
Then at this moment, the cat-man image suddenly spoke.
"No matter who is the last person to see this record, the first thing you need to know is that the race that left this record has died out...
Terrible things happened here, and my tribe was eventually destroyed here.
All hope has left me, and all good things have turned into dust.
I used everything I had left to cover its gaze, so that it ultimately failed to find what it wanted.
We once escaped disaster in a paradise, but disaster finally found us.
When I left there with only hope left, I discovered that the world was falling into a greater disaster.
We had no place to stay and were displaced, but at the last moment we received help from another great ethnic hero.
He merged the knowledge and skills of our two races and finally hid us in the ruins of a city he had visited.
Before we left, the hero gave me a precious sacred object. He asked us to help him keep this sacred object, and told me that someone would come to take it away one day.
But unfortunately, we may not be able to fulfill his instructions in person, because disaster has found us again.
This time, we really have no way to escape...
It kills my hopes one by one in front of me, forcing me to reveal the location of what he wants.
But out of revenge, I said nothing.
It will eventually kill me, but it doesn't know that I have expected this day.
Before entering the desolate and dangerous ruins, I ordered the only remaining members of my tribe to forge this arch. I knew that it would eventually find this door, but without the guidance of the key, it could not enter.
For those who read this, I hid the sacred object and that thing together behind this door, but there is a secret defense method taught to us by the hero on this door.
If you want to get that relic and that object, you must go through this door with the gemstone in hand.
You must undergo occult scrutiny to prove that you have nothing to do with it.
If you fail, you will be punished by heaven!"
The message ended here, and the image of the cat man instantly shattered into spots of light all over the sky, leaving Xue Hua alone standing in front of the stone arch looking at this thing in a daze.
The amount of information revealed in this video is slightly large.
That decrepit old cat-man should be "Dopdok", the leader of the Hoe-ear tribe.
Unexpectedly, he actually took the cubs in the tribe and escaped from that guy's pursuit.
And he probably ran directly outside into the desert at first.
I guess he is looking for a temporary hiding place?
But what he didn't expect was that after he and his tribe had lived in isolation for nearly a hundred years, the outside world had also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Other cat people groups no longer exist, and humans have occupied this land.
But this is nothing, after all, cats have also dealt with humans before.
But what he never expected was that demons might have invaded.
Xue Hua estimated that when this guy ran out, it was when the invasion of hell was at its most intense.
It was the darkest and most chaotic period in the entire continent, and even this originally peaceful and desolate desert was stained with blood.
I'm afraid he didn't expect this situation, so all his plans were disrupted.
And just when he was wandering around with the only remaining hope of his clan and not knowing what to do, a human hero helped them.
Xue Hua guessed that this so-called human "hero" should be a member of the Horadrim Mages at that time, because only this group of mysterious and powerful mages could combine the magical skills of cats and humans.
And hide the remaining cats again.
But the sacred object he entrusted to the cats to help keep it caught Xue Hua's attention.
According to the timeline of this world, just when Hell's invasion of the world of Sanctuary was reaching its climax, humanity's most legendary mage hero, Tal Rasha, successfully intercepted and defeated an exploit in the desert.
The God of Destruction "Baal", one of the three demon gods of hell, was "exiled" to the human world by the rebel conspiracy.
He inserted the soul stone that sealed Baal into his heart, and finally succeeded in trapping this powerful demon.
After that, Tarasha sealed himself and Baal deep into his tomb, and with the help of the Horadrim mages, exiled the tomb into the gap between reality and illusion.
In order to monitor the state of the tomb, the Horadrim wizards used a mysterious metal obtained from the East to create a staff that could open the door to the tomb - the Staff of the Horadrim.
The remaining metal was then used to forge the Horadric Cube.
Later, after an incident in which the staff was almost stolen by a villainous mage due to poor storage, the Horadrim wizards divided the staff into two parts and fused them with the only person who could reunite them.
The Horadric cubes that were brought together were scattered and placed in several safe places in the desert.
According to the documents recorded at the time, these three holy objects were taken away and hidden by three different Horadrim mages. None of them knew where the other had placed the other components, so as to maximize the confusion.
The safety of the mausoleum is ensured.
Xue Hua guessed that the leader of the cat people who had just escaped from the oasis should have happened to meet the Horadrim mage who was looking for a place to hide one of the sacred objects. Then the mage heard about the cat people.
After his encounter, he felt deeply sympathetic and also had an idea. He thought of handing over the sacred object in his hand to the remaining cat people for safekeeping.
So he spent a period of time studying the magic skills of the cat people, merging them with human magic skills, and finally used this fused strange magic to send the cat people to the ruins of a human city he had visited.
.
As for why he sent the cat people there, Xue Hua didn't know. It might be because the ruins of the city were relatively hidden, or it might be that something unexpected happened in the ruins of the city, making it inaccessible by ordinary means.
There.
And if Xue Hua's guess is correct, the ruins of the city should be the "Lost City" map in the game.
The last of the three elements of the Horadric Staff - the serpentine pattern - should be in the "Snake Canyon" area on this map.
Of course, these are just the information in the game and Xue Hua's guesses. As for whether the snake pattern is really there, you still have to go and see it in person to know.
Therefore, no matter what, he must activate this door.
But the problem now is that he simply can’t afford so much money to buy 24 flawless gems?!
