In response to Aiwen's inquiry, the phantom-like tall man still didn't say a word, and even the expression on his face didn't change in the slightest.

It's just that the action of "please" is maintained, just like those stereotyped stone carvings.

In spiritual perception, this is an empty phantom, without any feedback of power, and there is no trace of spiritual fluctuations unique to the soul.

Even if he really stood in front of the three of them, he was completely like a mystery, both literally and realistically...

Taking a deep look at the mysterious man's translucent face, Evan winked at his two companions and walked in the direction he had pointed out.

The man's phantom walked beside them, and every step of the stride swing arm was as accurate as a ruler had been measured, and on this point, Aivan, who had a "digital vision", had the most say.

Trample.. Trample.. Trample..

The three of them walked up the heavily eroded stone steps step by step, and just walked up to the first platform.

Click, click

The white statues that seemed to be carved from marble opened their eyes one after another, and the eyes of the stone carvings slowly turned, and a transparent pupil grew out of nothing in the middle of a pure white.

The heads rotated at different angles, projecting a rock-like cold gaze onto the three men at the same time.

"Live... Alive?"

I don't know how long it took to stand here, and the seemingly ordinary rock statue actually "came to life", which made the wizard of Milan have a feeling of being alive for a long time.

In this kind of ventilated and humid enough place, the facial features on your face have been eroded and you can't see clearly, okay? Even the rock golem can't be so sloppy, right? What about the transcendent aura? What about the runes? There must be an energy supply system, right?

At this time, the shattered statues on the ground that he had seen in the first two primordial halls, "Kingdom" and "Foundation", resurfaced in his mind. It turns out that those pirates are not deliberately destroying "cultural relics", but these "cultural relics" can really kill people!

Although the principle of these "living" statues is incomprehensible, the world of witchcraft cannot be judged by common sense, and can only be blamed on the magical witchcraft unique to a certain wizarding school.

Click...

In their stunned moments, the "living" statues had already stepped down from the stone base, and the various weapons in their hands had been raised.

At this moment, the man's phantom figure seemed to see nothing, and walked straight into the array of statues, piercing through them.

"Do you want to fight?" Gary raised the sword in his hand, which had almost turned into a jagged sword due to the excessive force of the previous madness, and was about to step forward to open a passage.

"Wait!"

Standing in front of this building, the spiritual premonition in Aiwen's heart was clear to the point that it seemed as if he could directly transmit information.

He felt...

There is no need for the man's phantom to continue to guide, and he takes a step forward gently.

A scene that surprised Milan and Gary happened!

The "living" statues took the initiative to remove their weapons and make way for Aven.

However, when Milan and Gary tried to keep up, they were blocked by the array that the sculptural warriors had reassembled. Gary, who has a somewhat irritable temper, raises his sword and is about to attack, but is stopped by Aven.

"Since the master here doesn't allow it, you should stay here for the time being, and I'll follow that... The gentleman went in to pay a visit to the owner of the place. ”

Judging from the man's phantom and the performance of the "monsters" in the ruins along the way, it is obvious that someone deliberately arranged all this. Evan guessed that the reason why the owner of this place treated him differently was probably because of the inexplicable spiritual premonition in his heart.

It just so happens that I also want to know what the mystery that has always attracted me is!

The only two people left, Milan and Gary, no longer insisted.

The statues of these three-story grottoes add up to more than two hundred, each of them is at least the level of the late stage of apprenticeship, and the formation of a torrent is enough to completely submerge three people, and the situation is indeed a little stronger than people.

Milan had to say:

"Okay, be careful! yes, follow this. ”

He threw the bronze key that had been kept by him to Aven, after all, the key pointed in this direction during divination, and it might be useful later.

"Call us if there's danger, boss!"

Wave their hands to reassure them.

When Ai Wen turned around, he subconsciously touched his pocket, although he didn't perceive the danger, he still had the necessary vigilance and backhand.

Follow the path of the statue warriors, climb the stepped grottoes layer by layer, and enter the largest of them on the third and uppermost level.

As if following some strict rule, all the statue warriors stopped outside the grotto, allowing Aven to enter on his own.

Po –

As if breaking through an invisible membrane at the entrance of the grotto, Ai Wen took a light breath, feeling like he had suddenly arrived in a high-standard laboratory with constant temperature and humidity. Even if there is no gate, it still keeps out the moisture and sea breeze from the outside world.

When I looked up, I saw that the man's phantom was already waiting for me here.

Not daring to run, Evan followed him and continued to move forward.

Although there are no lamps to be seen here, the soft light of unknown origin fills every inch of space in the cavern, and there is no trace of the darkness of the cave as imagined.

In addition, many of the things in this grotto are relatively well preserved, and there are not many traces of time.

On both sides of the aisle, the first thing that attracted Aiwen's attention was the cylindrical cultivation tanks made of ceramics, most of which were taller than people, and they were neatly stacked, and there were hundreds of them.

Although from Avan's point of view, these equipment, which may be hundreds of years old, are a bit outdated, they still give him a sense of déjà vu entering the set of "Resident Evil", and he can't help but lighten his pace.

However, out of curiosity, Ai Wen deliberately tiptoed to look at the inside of the cultivation tank that had been opened, it was dark and dry, and he couldn't see what had been cultivated in it for a long time.

Thinking of the tenacious vines and tendrils he had encountered, the "frogmen" who walked upright like frogs and fishes, and the large lizards with bony crowns, Evan guessed that those strange "creatures" that he had never seen in the outside world should have come from this place.

One person and one shadow continue to move forward, neither fast nor slow.

Along the way, there are huge biological specimens, cabinets for materials (most of them are old ordinary parchment, which has been exposed to the air and has long since decayed), various functional compartments, medicinal herb material warehouses and other living and working facilities.

Not as fortunate as the ceramics facility at the beginning, most of these areas have decayed, except for a very limited number of things that have been preserved.

However, for the time being, it was not the time for curiosity to flare up, and Evan followed in the footsteps of the phantom. Finally, when I reached the end of this grotto, I met the "owner" here.

Well, as expected, the former owner.

It was a tall man, dressed in the same wizarding cannon as the Phantom's, and on his lap was a large tome spread out in a hardcover book, apparently just an ordinary secular book, and the handwriting on the untreated pages had been completely blurred.

It doesn't seem to have any camouflage or traps, like an old man who accidentally falls asleep while reading a book on a recliner in the afternoon and never wakes up.

From Aven's angle, he could see that he had only one layer of skin left, and his face had completely turned blue-black, proving that he had long since passed away.

Looking up at the phantom that led him in, he saw that he seemed to have finally completed his final mission, and showed a relaxed smile at Ai Wen, and then turned into a particle of light and disappeared completely.

Not a word was said from beginning to end...

For some reason, although the two of them did not resemble anything other than their robes, Evan had a strong premonition that Mr. Phantom and the person in the chair must be the same.

Even when he saw the sinuous snake tail of the "master" peeking out from under the wizard's robes.

Far from being shriveled up like a human body on the upper body, the tail wrapped in dark green scales was a cold iron color, more like a steel pillar than a flesh and blood body.

"Is this a snake man?

No, this should be a powerful wizard who has transformed his bloodline!"

Aven's knowledge was enough for him to make the closest judgment to the truth, and the phantom was most likely what the wizard looked like before he underwent the bloodline transformation.

Probably because it is too close to the final "goal".

Hiss –

Suddenly, Evan felt the bronze key in his pocket become hot, and Evan shook it off the ground in a flash.

Ding——

"The way you look is obviously telling me that your lock is on this 'snake man'!"

Although the "owner" of the ruins has not shown any malice towards himself along the way, he can never be defenseless in this world.

If you are in the martial arts world in your previous life, you will inevitably have to bow three times and knock nine times to show your sincerity.

But this is not popular in this world, well, Evan carefully pulled out his... Scabbard.

Be cautious.

Ai Wen opened up his digital vision and spiritual vision, combined with a series of practical knowledge such as "One Hundred Common Evil Spells", "Self-cultivation of Adventurers", "Wizard Exploration Code", "How to Open a Coffin Elegantly", "Wizard Tower Strategy Collection" and a series of practical knowledge in the "Shadow Library", after repeatedly confirming that there is nothing wrong with the "snake man".

With the scabbard, he flicked the only place on the corpse that had a transcendent aura.

Click!

A beautiful bronze casket fell to the ground, matching the bronze key lying next to it in terms of style and material.

If you look at the "snake man" again, there is no longer any transcendent aura on his body.

Apparently the ancient wizard was not too wealthy, at least at the time of his death. Since there were no other transcendent items, Evan didn't want to disturb his slumber too much.

At least when it comes to respect for the dead, Evan has a lot more bottom line than most people in this world.

After carefully inspecting the box using the entire process summarized by generations of predecessors in the Wizard's Adventure Code, Evan picked up the bronze key that had returned to room temperature and carefully opened the beautiful bronze box.
