Chapter 340: Magical Ruins

The Huishuang Mountains cover more than 200,000 square kilometers, and most of the area is covered with snow and ice all year round, so it is not difficult to imagine that the vegetation here is not lush. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After about 500 meters, Leitch and his party approached a huge cave entrance, and judging from the damaged stone gate at the entrance of the cave, there were undoubtedly obvious traces of manifold remaining, and the civilization of the gnolls had never developed to this extent in terms of architecture, and it was obvious that this place was undoubtedly an ancient relic before it was occupied by this gnoll tribe.

Outside the entrance to the cave, two gnolls are standing guard, along with two improvised wooden fences. Although the two gnoll sentries stood in a non-standing position, and even looked drowsy, the gnolls were undoubtedly beyond the realm of beasts, and the social and military systems had begun to take shape.

Leitch gestured to the two female guard squadron leaders behind him, and then the two Lyra patrol female guards each stepped forward with a silver-level crossbow - squatting, getting on the plane, aiming, firing, a series of actions in one go, without any hindrance!

These two gnolls were only elite-level in strength, and now they were shot in the throat by silver-level crossbows, so although their hands tightly covered the throat that was penetrated, they were still powerless to fall down in the end!

Leitch is undoubtedly very satisfied with the performance of the two Lyra Patrol Guards - in fact, except for the battle of Eagle's Nest Mountain, Lyra has not had much contact with Lyra Patrol so far, and now the performance of these two Lyra Patrol Guards is so good, which can only prove that their own individual quality is extremely good!

Immediately after, Leitch and his party began to enter the ancient ruins silently. Before approaching the ruins, Retch first applied a whispering spell to himself, Davis was a nightblade and didn't need his help in this regard, and to his surprise, the two hundred Lyra Patrol Guards didn't need his help, because a few of them knew the whispering technique as well!

After understanding, Leitch learned that the magic mastered by each of the four thousand Tianqin patrol female guards was not exactly the same, and the vast majority of them mastered almost all of them were destruction magic, and these were the absolute top soldiers in battle! Some were inscribed with the restoration magic array, and these served as the army's medics; and a small number of them mainly attacked auxiliary magic such as illusion and mystery, and often acted as auxiliary troops such as spies.

At this point, Richie can truly understand the horror of the Witcher Legion -- this is the real battle mage legion, no wonder the kingdom of Abidjan was able to resist the major empires with 100,000 Wild Hunt Legions without falling behind! The Witcher is just a simplified version of the battle mage, if he can make up 100,000 real battle mages to form a battle mage legion, just thinking about it will make it terrifying! Of course, Leitch also understands that this is just a matter of thinking about it, because the proportion of mages in the Dawson Free Federation is not high, not to mention that it is still a rare battle mage?!

When he reached the entrance of the cave, Retch did not immediately enter, but carefully observed the damaged stone door - this stone door was about four meters high, and the material was a common large black stone; these were not what Ricky cared about, what really made Ricky dare to be interested was a strange magic pattern engraved on the stone door! Yes, it was the magic pattern, although these magic patterns were already quite dim, but Luck was still keenly aware of the faint magic fluctuations from above!

This undoubtedly made Leitch feel quite strange - how could the magic pattern that had been damaged still transmit magic fluctuations?! This was completely beyond Leqi's cognition! And Leitch was sure that the magic pattern engraved on the folding stone door did not belong to any magic system that Leitch currently knew!

A new magic system?

For this ancient ruin, in addition to chasing the leader of the gnolls, now Leqi has an extra expectation! Although Leitch is half a mage madman, but fortunately, now he has not forgotten the business, and understands that only solving the Black Tide today is his first priority! Not to mention that this ancient ruin is located within the scope of the Black Wind Territory, and after returning home, he can send troops to occupy this place!

Walking into the entrance of the cave, Leitch and his party found that the interior of this ruin was even wider and taller than they had originally imagined - the passage alone was five meters high and three meters wide! The passage was made of large flat black stones, but to Leitch's disappointment, these stone walls were not engraved with the words or magic patterns that Leitch was most looking forward to, they were just the most ordinary stone slabs!

On a bad note, there are no lights on either side of the passage, or if they were demolished by the gnoll tribe that occupied them later, or if they didn't exist in the first place. Although the passage is very dim, for an awakened person like Leitch, it is still possible to barely see, because on both sides of the passage, there are some fungi plants that can glow!

There are two main types of mushrooms: blue light mushroom and yellow umbrella mushroom. The blue mushroom grows on the wall like a fungus, emitting a pale blue glow, resembling a reishi mushroom, and it is also a major alchemical ingredient for anti-electric elixirs.

The yellow umbrella fungus, this kind of fungus is almost invisible in the wild, they mostly grow in the dark, moist underground or cave, the height is comparable to that of an adult, the umbrella fungus part is as large as an umbrella, and they can also emit a pale yellow light, giving people a very soft and comfortable feeling. Therefore, some mages even like to plant some yellow umbrella mushrooms in their underground alchemy chambers to serve as lighting. The only downside is that the yellow umbrella fungus does not have any alchemical value, and perhaps because of this, the yellow umbrella fungus that ordinary people see will grow very tall.

Davis paused for a moment when he passed by a yellow umbrella fungus, and it was obvious that the chick had a good impression of the umbrella fungus when she saw the glimmer of affection in her bright eyes.

So Ricky whispered in Davis's ear, "If you like, I can plant some for you when I get back." ”

But who knew that Davis shook his head and said: "I'm just surprised now, if I watch it for a long time, I may not like it." ”

Leitch was speechless for a moment - it turned out that this chick was still quite fond of the new and hated the old...... However, Leech Dao has to admire the accuracy of Davis's intuition, like those who have never seen the yellow umbrella fungus, when they first see it, they may feel novel, but because the yellow umbrella fungus itself is not too distinctive, it is indeed easy to lose the freshness after looking at it for a long time.

Along the way, Richie and his party silently wiped out several waves of gnolls sentry, most of which were only two or three of each wave, and with the assistance of the short-range assassination weapon such as the crossbow, Richie and his party did not attract the attention of the gnolls tribe.

After traveling some distance, Richie and his party came to the first door they encountered in the ruins! In front of this door, whether it was Ricky, Davis, or the two hundred Lyra Patrol Guards behind them, they were all stunned - this door was also four meters high, and it was complete! Richy's previous guess was completely verified at this time - the engravings on it were indeed magic patterns and magic arrays! All kinds of magic arrays that Leitch had never seen before were built together, constructing one intricate magic circle after another, and to Leitch's surprise, these magic arrays were intertwined, but this did not affect their normal operation! What does this make Leitch feel like? It's like a whole bunch of gears! Yes, it's like countless gears that are meshed together! Each of them is moving in a unique trajectory, and finally they are combined in a complex way to build a complete magic body!

For the stone gate in front of him, which shone with all kinds of magical light, Leitch could only think of these two words in his mind!

At this time, Leitch suddenly said, "You all step back ten meters." ”

Although he was surprised by Leitch's order, no one hesitated, and in fact, Leitch himself was also retreating.

After exiting about seven or eight meters, a burst of fire flashed in Leitch's right hand, which couldn't help but make Davis next to him flash a shocked thought - could this bastard be thinking about ......?

At the same time, I saw a wave of Leqi's right hand, a flash of fire flew out, and then a flame mark fell on the stone door, and then a huge explosion sounded!

It was a veteran-level magic - the Burning Hand! The flame released by the Burning Hand was as high as 1000°, which was enough to melt silver into silver water! And the power generated by its explosion was not weaker than that of an apprentice-level alchemy bomb! But that's it, this Burning Hand landed on the folding stone door, but it only caused a slight fluctuation of the magic array above, and there was no abnormality!

Seeing this, Leitch's eyes lit up, and his right hand was raised again, and the fire on it was even more - this was a burning hand strengthened by the Pullman formula five times, comparable to expert-level destruction magic! The heat of the flames it released had exceeded 5,000 degrees, not to mention ordinary steel, even bronze-level armor, it would not last for a breath or two before it melted!

Davis's eyebrows furrowed slightly at Leitch's move, but she didn't try to persuade him, because she understood that Leitch wasn't a man who didn't know what was important, and since he wanted to do it, he must have a reason.

"Bang!"

This fivefold strengthened Burning Hand exploded in the center of the stone gate, and the flames of the explosion truly showed a spectacular fireworks in front of everyone, but unfortunately, as before, this burning hand did not cause any reaction from the stone gate!

This scene shocked everyone, and for a while, the same question couldn't help but appear in everyone's minds - what could this stone door be?!
