Volume 2: The Ruins of the Old Gods Chapter 29: The Tainted Godhead (continued)
Not the same?
Hearing the news, Tirkas and Chen Mo were stunned.
That is to say, in this temple, there have been at least two gods of the old gods and the new gods.
But this is completely abnormal, huh?
You must know that every god, whether it is a new god or an old god, they all have their own pride, and they would rather open a new temple by themselves than settle in the temple of the old god.
And the temples of the old gods were either abandoned or destroyed in the torrent of time.
Therefore, it is basically very rare for two eras of gods to appear in one temple.
"Go and see!" said Tirkas hurriedly.
Then, Tyrkas and Chen Mo went to those anomalous areas under the leadership of Etia and Arya.
Arya pointed to the stone tablet in front of her and said, "The ancient god characters have a characteristic, their fonts are generally square, and since the beginning of the new gods, the writing of the god patterns has become diversified, and the pen has become much sharper. ”
Following Arya's explanation, several people really found clues in this divine pattern.
Then there was Aetia, who led the people to a place that resembled a courtyard: "Look. ”
Aetiyah stretched out his hand and pointed to the stones that stood around the courtyard, and although they had become mottled by the erosion of time, they could still see the traces of some of the Divine Pattern Circle.
"Similar to what Elder Arya said, most of the ancient gods were relatively regular when they carved the magic circle, and their internal structure was also natural, and this was also the innate talent of those gods born from the roots. It is incomparable to the new gods that followed, and even, as far as the magic we use now, is mostly derived from the magic circles of the old gods. With that, Aetiyah turned her head and pointed to the other side.
It was a round stone arch. And on this stone arch, there are also some magic circles engraved, but these magic circles seem to be a little different from the previous magic circles, but at first glance, I can't see it, if it weren't for Etiah's deliberate reminder, I'm afraid that I will subconsciously ignore this difference.
"Look at the magic circle here, is there a difference between it and the ancient god circles before?" Aetiyah asked the group.
Everyone nodded and said in unison, "Indeed." ”
I heard Etia continue: "The magic circle here is not like the previous ancient god magic circle, out of the roots, it is natural, but there is a kind of jerky feeling when a child forcibly follows an adult to write and draw. However, if it is compared to our modern magic circle, it has a simple atmosphere. Like this, it's usually the circle of the new gods.
And there is another point, unlike the functional formations set up by the ancient gods, the magic formations here seem to be more defensive, as if they are ...... It's like guarding something. ”
Listening to Etiah's explanation, they suddenly remembered, yes, why did the other temples turn into a pile of rubble, but only this one temple remained intact?!
At this moment, Chen Mo and Tyrkas seemed to suddenly open up, and at the same time, they couldn't help but have some speculations in their hearts, so they all looked at the interior of the temple.
So they walked into the temple one after another.
And at this moment, the sense of disobedience in their hearts also became stronger, especially after seeing the magic circle in the center of the main hall, even more so.
"Come here!" At this time, Arya, who was naturally sensitive to words, made another discovery.
On the edge of the circle, a sentence of divine pattern was engraved.
It reads: Is this the punishment that God has given us? Perhaps.
And looking at this trace, it seems to be the words written by a new god.
"What does this mean?" Tirkas couldn't help but frown, not thinking at all for a moment.
Chen Mo accurately grasped the word "punishment", and immediately thought of the key word he found in that ruin when he was looking for clues before-"ritual"!
At this moment, Chen Mo's heart seemed to have a vague simulation of the events hidden in this world.
To put it simply: that "ritual" failed, and then, it led to some bad consequences. It may be that consequence that led to a series of events after this.
It's just that after this vein was established, the confusion in his heart became even greater.
What exactly is that "ritual"? And what are the consequences? What exactly happened in the process?
And while Chen Mo was thinking, Tirkas also noticed that Chen Mo seemed to have something, so he hurriedly asked, "Did you find something?"
Chen Mo nodded, and said all his guesses.
"Ritual...... Tilkas touched his chin, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the circle again, and then, a rich pure magic power condensed in his hand, and channeled it into the circle.
"Open!"
Under Tirkas's guidance, the circle was activated again, and a glow of light was much stronger than when Krabi had used it before.
"Sure enough. Tirkas couldn't help but say secretly.
At this time, the magic circle in front of their eyes turned out to be an abbreviated version of the teleportation circle!
"Do you want to go in?" asked Biswanda.
"Of course. Tirkas nodded.
At this time, Chen Mo also said to Etia and said, "Let's go down too." ”
Etia nodded slightly.
Because as it stands, it seems that there is no way to leave this space until we understand what is really going on in this space.
So, several of them stepped into this magic circle one after another, and disappeared in place with the white light flashing from the magic circle.
By the time they opened their eyes again, they had come to an even stranger place.
However, what is certain now is that they are still in that space at the moment, but their positions have changed.
However, compared to before, there is something wrong.
Well?
At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly felt that above their heads, there seemed to be a space debris, and that space debris separated this place from the space they were in before.
"This kind of tactic is really terrible. Tirkas also seemed to feel this strange feeling, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue, it was indeed a group of people close to the roots.
However, more than this, what they care about more is the white bone field in front of them.
Especially not far away, that huge skeleton as high as a mountain!
"What kind of creature is that?" exclaimed Biswanda.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Giants who perished in the Silver Age. Tirkas said.
"Giants?" Biswanda was still puzzled as if she had heard the word for the first time.
Then, he was knocked on the back by Tircas.
"Ahh
"You guy, tell you to read more books on a regular basis, and the face of our elves will be lost by you. As he spoke, Tirkas couldn't help but show a very helpless expression.
The so-called giant clan is actually a group of creatures living in the northern ice field area of the Arica continent, and its characteristic is that they are generally very tall, the shortest are twice the height of ordinary elves, and their physical fitness is also strong and abnormal.
However, their adaptability to the environment was very poor, and in the end, due to their failure to adapt to the changes in the world, coupled with their weak reproductive ability, they were completely extinct along with the new gods at the beginning of the Silver Age.
“...... Now, remember?" said Tirkas.
"Remembered. Biswanda nodded hurriedly.
"Hmm. Seeing this, Tirkas nodded with a little satisfaction, and then said to Chen Mo and Etiya: "I'm sorry, the clansmen are not sensible, so let the two of you laugh." ”
"Hahaha, it's fine. Chen Mo waved his hand.
And Aetiyah also smiled, saying that she didn't care much.
So, the incident was taken as an episode and went with the wind.
Then they continued their way into the depths.
It's just that walking in this piece of white bones, to be honest, I am still a little stunned in my heart.
Especially the wind here seems to be a little cold when it blows.
And among them, the more profound ones are like Arya.
That's right, it's the usually taciturn and calm-looking female elf Arya.
And according to her, this place is originally a cold place, and she is naturally sensitive to perception, so her feeling of the uncomfortable atmosphere in this world is also even more profound.
Regarding this matter, Chen Mo and Etiya just smiled and said nothing more.
It's just that as everyone continues to go deeper, the cold aura in this area seems to become more intense.
And this kind of coldness is not the kind of cold that comes from the body, but the kind that penetrates deep into the soul, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Looks like there's something unclean in this realm. Chen Mo couldn't help muttering.
At the same time, a burst of aura was also released around his body, forcing away the cold qi around him.
"Chen Mo?" Tirkas was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Chen Mo's eyes again, he also understood Chen Mo's thoughts.
Sure enough, just after Chen Mo exuded his aura, a whistling sound suddenly rose from this silent place.
"Did you hear that?" Chen Mo said.
"I hear you. Etiah raised her hand and took out her magic circle.
At this moment, in front of their eyes, in addition to the white bones, some ghost creatures that were visible to the naked eye also appeared.
These ghost creatures seem to be the souls of the soldiers trapped here, after tens of thousands of years of alienation, as well as the Gu-like environment here, the ghosts here have become more fierce than those in the outside world, and each ghost seems to have the strength of the ninth order.
And, even more deadly, is the number of these ghosts, the kind that can't see the boundaries at a glance.
"Brother Chen Mo, your operation is really embarrassing for us. Tirkas sighed.
But having said that, Chen Mo still felt the fighting intent on Tirkas's body.
"Whew-" Another gust of wind blew, and those ghosts gathered one after another, either with long knives in their hands or spears in their hands, and charged.
"Come on!" Chen Mo summoned his outer armor, and the energy sword hit the energy body, which can be said to be a dozen and one accurate.
Soon, the place was caught up in a storm of energy.
If you look down on this battlefield, you can see that with the place where Chen Mo and the others are located as the center of the circle, there are groups of ghosts all around, like ocean waves, endlessly.
"Kill!"
And in Chen Mo's team, the one who played the most was Biswanda. With this fighting style, it is not at all obvious that he is a mage, but more like a warrior.
What's more, this guy seems to have revamped the original turret-style magic, simplifying it and making it more suitable for combat.
"Good fellows. Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh, this guy is more like a warrior than me (although he himself is not an orthodox warrior).
Compared to Biswanda's berserker-like fighting style, Arya's fighting style is even more elegant, even the gesture of wielding her staff is like a graceful dance, beautiful and deadly, and almost no ghost can pass her within five steps.
For a while, the elements flew up, explosions came and went, and in the hands of these five perverts, the suppression of the original quantity was forcibly filled by the quality.
At this moment, those ghosts also seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, and gradually changed their battle strategy during the battle......
