Look at that giant circular symbol.

Gary was confused, although Milan had some impressions as a wizard, he was not too sure because of the different majors: "What is this?"

"There was also a symbol on the ceiling of the hall we just passed by, except that the name was 'Kingdom', and now the name of this hall is 'Foundation'.

They are all one of the ten primordial essences of the 'inverted tree' or 'tree of life', or more precisely, the two lowest of them, the tenth primordial and the ninth primordial.

Each hall corresponds to a varying number of passages, representing the twenty-two paths in the 'Inverted Tree'.

If I'm not mistaken, the layout of this underground ruin should be similar to that of the 'Inverted Tree', and there are at least eight other halls further down. ”

Evan looked at the passage at the end of the rotunda that led to the depths, a pensive look. The scale of this ruin may be far larger than I first thought, doesn't it hollow out the whole island?

However, there is one thing that Evan did not say.

The deeper you go into the ruins, the stronger your spiritual premonitions give you, and there seems to be something in the depths of the ruins that attracts you.

However, looking at the reactions of Milan and Gary, the two of them obviously did not have this premonition.

Is it because there is something special about him? The secret of the ruins has not yet been solved, but new mysteries have been added to Aivan's heart.

Nothing.

The three of them continued onward, passing once again a stone platform that was not lodging but was equally empty.

Both halls were calm and calm, apparently different from what happened to the pirates when "White Shark Skuk" led them on an expedition. After all, it's been years since the last time they came in, and no one can say what has changed in the ruins.

And the next hall may be the place where even the second-order peak "White Shark Cook" has suffered, and it is also the reason why he withdrew in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to restrain his corpses.

The normal "inverted tree" figure has twenty-two paths connecting the ten primordial essences, and this underground ruin is roughly shaped like this, and in this "foundation" hall, the entrances and exits are suddenly increased to four.

They lead to the 10th primordial "kingdom", the 8th primordial "brilliance", the 6th primordial "beauty", and the 7th primordial "victory".

Not daring to walk around, the group followed the normal path to the next Eighth Primordial Hall, and the door was also open!

This made Evan wonder if Skuk had been guided beyond the bronze key when he explored the ruins.

In the straight corridor, the three of them walked slowly.

The peace and quiet of the two halls in a row did not make the three people relax, but the spirits became even more tense. Unknown enemies, unknown attack methods, unknown locations, unknown appearance times, all the uncertainties make them dare not relax at all.

Even if it can't get to the point where the grass and trees are all soldiers, they are also fully focused on watching every movement here.

As we move forward, apart from the corpses of fallen pirates that appear on the ground from time to time, the same rock walls finally change.

Fissure!

It looks like a crack like a giant centipede formed after the wall broke after an earthquake.

And after this abrupt crack.

"It's... The roots of the plant?"

"No way! Even if there is a crack in the wall, what plant's roots can penetrate an unknown thickness of rock to this place, and grow so big?"

Milan couldn't help but be amazed.

However, the thick roots that crisscrossed the wall like creepers clinging to the wall cannot be faked. It's just that it is as cold and hard as the wall, and the scale that spreads the entire path of the same road, so that at first they thought it was a relief carved out of the rock wall.

Bell –

Without hesitation, since he sensed that there might be something strange, Ai Wen directly drew his sword and cut it off. Although this root is hard, it is far from being able to withstand the sword of a formal knight.

A piece of tendrils fell to the ground, and there was a sound like a stone, and the break was so smooth that there wasn't even a drop of sap that should have been.

It's as if petrified wood, which existed a long time ago, has now been completely turned into stone, and there is not the slightest feedback of spiritual light in the spiritual vision.

"No problem, keep going. ”

The light of the "Illumination" faded away with the footsteps of the three people.

However, in the corridor where the darkness was restored, there was a rustling sound, as if thousands of poisonous snakes were gently wriggling.

......

In the second half of the hallway, more cracks appeared in the stone walls, also covered with cold and hard roots.

Tick... Tick...

"There seems to be the sound of water ahead?"

With the new movement, the three of them couldn't help but speed up their pace.

The stone door of this hall was unsurprisingly open, but this time there was no need for illumination, and a blue orb shone brightly on the stone platform in the middle of the hall, reflecting the entire underground space in a blue color.

And by its light, the ceiling was the original essence of "brilliance" that Evan had guessed.

Gary was about to walk into the hall when he was stopped by both Evan and Milan reaching out.

"Don't go in!"

"Dangerous!"

The two wizards glanced at each other, and the exploration of the ruins was finally no longer a calm and unwavering "outing", and they had noticed the strangeness of the blue orb in the middle of the hall at the same time.

It's just that in their spiritual vision, the bright and undisguised black aura emanating from the orb clearly tells the latecomers, please don't approach!

"This thing seems to be emitting some kind of strange curse all the time?!"

Using his expertise in early warning and detection, Milan closed his eyes and carefully perceived it, and came to this conclusion.

"It's probably not a matter of just shining this blue light for a short time, but if you touch that bead directly with your hand, some kind of terrible curse may take effect immediately!"

"Well, and have you noticed that the stone platform under that bead is exactly the same as the one in the two halls in front of it.

As a pure knight, Skuk does not have the spiritual vision of a wizard. Is it possible to go straight into there and try to take the orb that looks so precious as before?"

When Evan said this, something suddenly came to mind, and Milan, who got the hint, said in unison: "Alienation curse !!"

Legend has it that "White Shark Scook" suffered some kind of vicious curse a few years ago, and in addition to being unable to sleep, his appearance gradually approached that of a real shark, indirectly creating the name of the murderous and bloodthirsty "White Shark".

"Could it be that 'White Shark Skuk' was cursed here a few years ago?

Yes, although the pirates have suffered a lot of casualties before, the scale of the 'Sharktooth Pirates' is far from the point of breaking the bones, and it is fully capable of further exploration.

It must have been a problem with Skuk himself that prevented the exploration from continuing!"

I don't know why, in addition to Skuk's curse, Aven also thought of the "Secret Treasure of the Sea: Mist Silver Lamp" that he got from the "Sharktooth Pirates", could it have been placed on a stone platform in the previous two halls?

"Then we... Hmm, what's the sound?"

All three turned at the same time to look in the direction behind them.

The sound of the ropes growing louder and louder in the darkness, as if countless snakes were writhing and hissing, but the strong wind that came in front of them told them that there was no strange smell in it.

Be on alert.

With their backs against the stone wall, the three of them raised their snowy long swords at the same time.

"It's coming!"

Soon the roots and vines that were wriggling on the ground rushed like snakes, and it was as if an entire corridor had come to life!

And it's not just the smell, but in their spiritual vision, not to mention the possible aura, there is not even a trace of life to be found.

This is a pile of petrified wood that should have been turned to stone!

"How could it be that the roots that had turned into stone could still come back to life?"

This kind of scene has the greatest impact on Gary's world view, almost directly subverting the past perception of the world, throwing it to the ground and smashing it, even if he has encountered sea monsters and mortals who have fought evil sects, but this kind of thing that is more common sense than mortals still shocks him.

"Is it some kind of mortal plant that is extremely vigorous and hidden?"

As he spoke, the writhing roots had approached the front of the three people, and Ai Wen, who was the most powerful of the three, took the lead, and the long sword in his hand turned into a bright light curtain that blocked the front without any dead ends.

Bang!Bang!Bang....

Sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of a stormy symphony of gold and stone resounded through this underground space!
