Chapter 14: Ruins

Mars took out two steel needles and stared at them for a moment, lost in thought.

As it stands, his magic is only three meters away from a steel needle, but this attack power may be able to kill an ant, but it will never kill a pigeon...... At this time, he remembered the blue pigeon, the magician who could transform into a pigeon.

"Whew!"

He exhaled lightly and shook his head, now that he was trapped in this hellish place, with no food or water, he could predict what his fate would be in a few hours.

Mars raised his head and looked at the top of the cave, where there were layers of pale green moss on the top rock wall, and dried seaweed all around, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "Could this be the legendary underwater cave?"

He suddenly showed joy, if it was a cave under the sea, he should not die, because this shows that there is a world in the cave.

The legendary underwater caves are unique spaces formed during geological evolution, forming a delicate balance between space and the sea, and some hidden people and mysterious organizations live in them.

In some archaeological records, there are even traces of ancient human life excavated in some submarine caves, which provides great help for the study of human development history.

"Hahaha!"

"I'm not going to die!"

Mars shed tears, no matter what despair he was in, he still had hope for life, and even if he was here, he could face it bravely.

"Even if I die, at least I'll leave Angela!"

Mars no longer hesitated, and immediately used his magic to move the sand, his legs still buried in the sand!

However, just then, a splash suddenly burst from the water, and a disgusting water ghost rushed out of the water and pounced on Mars.

Mars was shocked, and for a moment, at a loss.

The water ghost was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it pounced on it, and it opened its mouth with slime, and a mouthful of rancid stench suddenly hit its face, instantly awakening Mars.

In a panic, Mars urged all the magic in his body and rushed towards the water ghost's mouth, and coincidentally, two steel needles happened to be mixed in the magic power.

"Poof!

With two sounds, two steel needles drilled into the water ghost's mouth, penetrating through the back of the head, and the water ghost's dirty hand holding Mars's head let go, and with a "bang", it smashed into Mars's arms.

And Mars also fell into a deep sleep the moment he ran out of magic.

......

I don't know how long it took.

Mars woke up from his nightmare, and then he realized that the water, which had been a few meters away from him, had almost submerged him, but fortunately his legs were free from the mud and sand, and he was suspended in the water. And the disgusting water ghost floated on the water in the distance, apparently dead, and he suddenly relaxed.

Choking on a few mouthfuls of seawater, Mars immediately slapped his arms on the surface of the water, and then crawled forward with all his might.

When he was away from the water, he stopped and rested for a while.

At this time, Mars was hungry and his mouth was dry, but he still had some physical strength, and his magic seemed to have recovered, and he no longer felt pain, so he could see the back of the cave clearly.

The whole cave is not large, and you can see the watermarks on the rock wall, and the places of those watermarks have formed moss, and nothing else.

A look of disappointment appeared on Mars's face, could he have guessed wrong? This is not a submarine cave?

"There's a slate!"

With his astonishing eyesight, Mars saw a neat stone slab on the rock wall at the back of the cave, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The slab was definitely not a natural formation, and it had a symbol on it, like a rune.

Although Mars has read the 100,000 books of the Angela Palace Library, he has not studied the occult much after all, and the runes are basically controlled by the mystics of the palace occult palace and the senior priests of the church, and ordinary people can't learn them at all, and they have no place to learn them.

Of course, Mars knows very well that runes are a kind of legendary divine script, and if you learn runes, you can obtain the power of words given by God, and the court mystics and the senior priests of the church are through runes to obtain divine power to perform various secret arts, and those secret techniques, Mars had the privilege of appreciating, and at that time he also consulted the palace occult palace, but the occult palace told Mars that he was not qualified to learn runes.

For this reason, Mars was also lost for a time.

At this moment, when he saw the stone tablet engraved with a rune, he couldn't help but hope greatly, he knew that someone had been here, and maybe even lived.

Soon, Mars climbed up to the slate, and instead of touching it recklessly, he looked closely, and after a moment he stretched out his right hand and pressed it against it.

Suddenly, the runes emitted a shining white light, and a "click" sound came from under the ground, and then, I saw a heavy stone gate slowly rising.

Mars' eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the world behind the stone gate.

"Boom!"

The stone door stopped, and a ray of light shone through the door into the cavern, and fell on Marston, who smelled the scent of earth, and he did not hesitate any longer, and crawled towards the door with all his might.

The blue sky, a few white clouds floating, the sun shining softly, the ancient trees, the weeds, and the fallen leaves all over the road, this place is so beautiful.

"This ...... What is it?"

"The scenery is beautiful, but what is missing here?"

Mars muttered to himself, he glanced around warily, but half an hour later, it was still quiet, quietly and terrifyingly.

"By the way, it's this quiet, it seems that there are no living creatures in this world, not even insects!"

After another half hour, Mars was so hungry that he could not wait any longer, or he would starve to death here, and he had to find something to eat.

Soon, Mars found a fungus plant on a dead log, the shiitake mushroom!

This fungus has a certain toxicity, but it is not strong, it is okay to eat less, Mars immediately picked five flowers, swallowed them, and immediately relieved his hunger.

He picked a dozen or so more and put them in a cloth bag for emergencies.

After a short rest, he continued to crawl forward along the vague path.

"Rustle...... Rustle......"

In the whole world, only the sound of Mars's body rubbing against the leaves seemed extremely eerie.

Soon, Mars saw a ruined ruin, as if violently destroyed, and the intricate carvings on the pillars showed that it was once a beautiful castle.

But by this time, only ruins remained.

"Huh...... My body, the magic seems to be being summoned?"

Mars whispered softly, he felt the magic in his body involuntarily flow outward, and then turned into a thin thread, slowly flowing in one direction, he couldn't see clearly, but he could feel it.
