Chapter Eighty-Nine: The House of Knowledge

It's autumn, and it's been almost half a year since the Ring of Stars was subdued. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the past six months, although Du Shen has only collected a few pseudo-divine powers before and after, he has a large amount of amber wine in his hand, and the elemental flame has been running at full capacity.

In half a year, Du Shen's attributes have grown greatly. His current stats are: Strength 19, Constitution 19, Agility 18, Intelligence 18, Spirit 19.

As a result, the maximum population of the Orb has been increased to 570, the control range has been increased to 342 meters, and the collection range of the Force has been expanded to a radius of 1710 meters.

There is still more than half a barrel of amber wine in the pendant. That was given to Teresa by Du Shen. And Du Shen himself has already drunk the other 9 barrels of original liquid. Du Shen didn't plan to encroach on Teressa's quota. Because he felt that his strength was at a bottleneck.

In fact, as early as more than half a month ago, Du Shen found that the improvement of attribute points had stagnated. But he did not give up and continued to digest the amber wine. As a result, after drinking most of the half barrel of amber wine, Du Shen's attributes, especially agility and intelligence, did not increase in the slightest.

Du Shen feels that the bottleneck this time is particularly serious compared with the past. Before using amber wine, Du Shen's spiritual attribute was 15 points, which was two or three points higher than other attributes. Naturally, with the drinking of amber wine, Du Shen's spirit reached 19 o'clock at the earliest. And wait until other attributes, because of the digestion of amber wine, from fifteen or sixteen points to nineteen or eight points. Du Shen's spiritual attributes have still not improved in the slightest.

As early as two or three months ago, Du Shen's spiritual attributes were stuck at 19 o'clock!

With the passage of time, Du Shen gradually woke up: the improvement of strength is not a matter of constantly digesting energy, and constantly strengthening the body can be a matter of course. His body, lacking an opportunity, needs to complete a metamorphosis in order to continue to improve his attributes.

Now that their own strength has reached a bottleneck, and the injuries suffered by the wizards due to the conquest of the poison cave have also healed. Du Shen intends to continue the operation. He was going to try the Knowledgeable Lodge.

Let's let a few wizards explore the way first. One night, Du Shen led sixty elite wizards through the Tide Gate to a deserted hill. The hills are surrounded by dense forests, and as far as the eye can see, there are no people.

Du Shen looked around, and with the direction of the mountain, the nearby river bay, and a few craggy boulders by the river, he determined that this was the entrance recorded in the secret book.

Du Shen ordered. A total of sixty-five wizards were scattered. They inspected the giant trees on the east side of the hill in turn. The giant trees are tall and leafy, and each one requires at least two people to hug each one. The wizards walked up to the giant tree and gently pressed the rough brown bark with both hands, slowly pumping their magical power into the trunk.

Wait a minute or two. If the wizard notices that the tree is not responding, they turn away and continue testing the other nearby trees.

The long wait, until the wizards had tested most of the hill, finally heard the wizard's whisper somewhere on the hill: "Found it! ”

The nearby wizard turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the outer skin of the inkstone tree glowing slightly. Immediately, a wizard captain rushed to Du Shen to report.

The surrounding mountains and forests are very quiet. Du Shen's attributes are already high, and his five senses are keen. Although he couldn't hear the content of the shout, he instantly caught the location of the shout. He took the initiative to walk to the position of the shouter.

Du Shen stopped in front of the inkstone. Sixty-five wizards also gathered around. Du Shen ordered. The two wizards stepped forward suddenly. They used both hands to hold down the trunk of the tree that emitted a faint fragrance, and together they instilled magical power.

The trunk of the inkstone tree, about three meters from the ground upwards, gradually glows. The light is dim, the colors are unrecognizable, and it flows constantly. After a dozen breaths, the glimmer of light condensed and turned into a door frame about three meters high. The door frame looks like it was painted in ink, less than a meter wide, and glows slightly.

The two energized wizards stopped. One of them saluted and asked: "Your Excellency, wait a moment, let your subordinates enter first to find out the situation." ”

"No," Du Shen raised his hand and called out to the wizard who was already walking, "You don't have to risk your life. I will send ghouls to tempt. ”

"Your Excellency is wise. The wizard who had left stopped and stepped aside.

Du Shen summoned a ghoul from the pendant and instructed it to step over the door frame. The trunk of the inkstone tree seemed to be false, and the ghouls could burrow into it without hindrance. Du Shen felt silently, trying to share the vision of the ghoul.

However, it seems to be a long way away. Du Shen could only vaguely receive feedback from the ghouls. After waiting for a moment, Du Shen judged that behind the light gate, there seemed to be an empty field. Du Shen probed for a while, turned his head and shouted to the wizards around him: "There seems to be no danger inside, but you can't take it lightly." I'm first, and you're next. ”

Several nearby wizard captains were worried about Du Shen's safety. They hesitated to speak against it. Before they could make up their minds, Du Shen had already stepped into the trunk of the inkstone tree.

Du Shen felt penetrating a viscous film. The breeze rushed towards him, blowing the forbidden magic robe that Du Shen was wearing to the sound of hunting.

Du Shen calmed down and continued to stride slowly. He turned his head to look, and saw the barren land in front of him as far as the eye could see. There is almost no vegetation on the land, and there are no rocks or rivers. The ground is slightly undulating, but flat overall. In the depths of the earth, several huge black shadows caught people's attention.

Du Shen carefully identified it and found that the black shadow seemed to be several huge animals. One of them, floating in mid-air, was hundreds of meters above the ground. The floating animal looks like a butterfly from a distance, with several long, thin tails trailing behind it, fluttering in the wind.

Animals on the ground, large but low, look like turtles or pangolins.

Du Shen walked slowly. Sixty-five wizards also entered through the Gate of Light. Du Shen heard the movement behind him, and couldn't help but turn around to observe the light gate. The gate of light stands on the earth, and there is no threshold. The door frame resembles wood, glowing slightly.

"My lord," several wizard captains approached, one of whom asked, "This seems to be another world. I don't know, where is the legendary knowledge hut hidden?"

Du Shen followed the wizard's gaze and looked up at the sky. He could see the silver moonlight pouring down. But there is no silver-white full moon at the top of the celestial dome.

Du Shen pointed to a huge black shadow in the depths of the wasteland: "There is no record in the books of the ancestors. I'm afraid we need to find it ourselves. Let's go see those things first. ”

Several wizards nodded, and each turned to give orders to their subordinates.

Wangshan ran a dead horse. Du Shen and the others rushed quickly, gradually looking at the face of the black shadow. The Black Shadow is a bit like a turtle, but without the shell. Their body is covered with layers of scale armor. There are four turtle beasts in total. Their tails are exceptionally long, extending directly into the air hundreds of meters high, connecting with the butterflies above.

The turtle beast is particularly large. Du Shen estimated that its back height was more than 20 meters, its body length was more than 100 meters, and its body width was more than 50 meters. As the distance approached, Du Shen could see clearly that the scales of the turtle beast were very huge, and each one was larger than ordinary people. And the tail of the turtle beast looks like a man-made chain. The chains are thicker than a person, and they are pitch black and metallic.

The four turtle beasts moved forward slowly. Under their dragging, the butterflies floating in mid-air also flew forward slowly.

Du Shen and the others looked around the turtle beast from a distance. The four turtle beasts saw their figure and turned a blind eye. The turtle beast walks slowly, but thanks to its size, it is not too fast to move. Du Shen and the others need to run in small steps to keep up.

Du Shen and the others successively observed around the turtle beast. They found no man-made objects on the surface of the turtle beast's body, nor did they find holes or doors.

Du Shen and the others stopped discussing. Before he could speak, Du Shen suddenly heard an old voice above his head: "Outsider, who are you, why did you break into the territory of the Profound Scholar's Hut?"

Du Shen looked up and didn't see a figure in mid-air. Du Shen looked at the top of the backs of the four turtle beasts not far away. Because of the height gap, Du Shen couldn't see if there were people on it.

Du Shen searched for the source of the voice and replied loudly, "We are messengers sent by Shadow Fortress. We are here for the promise of our ancestors. You promised to help us ......"

"Outsider," the old voice interrupted Du Shen's statement, "Now, what era is the outside world, how many moons are there in the sky?"

Du Shen was inexplicable, and secretly speculated on the source of the voice: "There is only one moon outside, big and round. ”

"There is only one moon," the old voice expressed disappointment, "and the time we have been waiting for has not yet come. Outsiders, go. We're not going out. ”

Du Shen did not give up, and shouted: "Where is Your Excellency? Can we meet? You have promised the ancestor of the Shadow Castle that you will do your best to help his descendants." ”

The old man replied, "We, on the back of the floating worm in the air." If you have a way, come up. ”

"Floating insects?" Du Shen looked up, presumably the creature above his head that looked like a butterfly but had a tail.

Du Shen scratched his head for a while. With his strength at this time, he was not yet able to fly. The only witchcraft he knew of was levitation that lasted for a very short time, and it was extremely ineffective.

"Do you want to make a hot air balloon?" Du Shen shook his head in a flash. Not to mention that there are no materials. Even if it is made, it is very dangerous to take it off in a hot air balloon. A little witchcraft can make Du Shen fall to pieces.

In the end, Du Shen cast his eyes on the tail of the turtle beast. A chain-like tail connects to the surface worm. Along it, you should be able to climb into the air, right?

Du Shen ordered. The crowd ran and chased after the turtle beast in front of them. Selecting a turtle beast, Du Shen ordered a ghoul to take the lead in jumping on the body of the turtle beast.

The ghoul jumped and was about to fall on the scale armor on the surface of the turtle beast. The turtle beast's armor suddenly stood up slightly. The ghoul was immediately bounced off the ground and rolled several times.

Du Shen and the others hurriedly stopped. Du Shen summoned several ghouls and ordered them to jump on the back of the turtle beast. The ghoul jumped one after another, and was shot away by the turtle beast's erected armor.

Du Shen looked carefully: the ghoul's feet had already been catapulted before they touched the armor. Obviously, the turtle beast's armor, with an invisible force field, can repel the approach of objects.
