Chapter 348: Your Grandfather Has Found It
It's a place where the sky is pitch black.
There is no sunshine, no moon, and no stars.
But if you want to say that it has no sky, and that it is a black ceiling, it seems a little wrong.
If a bird can fly straight upward, even if it flies for 10,000 years and tens of millions of kilometers above the ground, it will not be able to reach the 'ceiling'.
It must be said that although this space is infinitely high, the height does not mean much.
Although there are no sun, moon and stars, this space (especially the area around the ground) is not dark.
Because the ground is full of huge crystal clusters that are several meters or even more than ten meters high, these crystal clusters are milky white or fluorescent green, and they themselves emit a faint light.
Maybe one or two rays of light are a little weak, but like the trees in the rainforest, the light emitted by countless crystal clusters together is enough to illuminate every inch of this land.
If you fly high enough, you can see that the land is actually a chessboard-like square, but if you walk from one section to the edge, you will go directly to the other end, so there is no such thing as the end of the earth.
And in the center of the earth, there is a deep pit that is incomparably deep, and there is no bottom in sight.
The exterior of the pit was covered with a large web of cyan light.
If you look closely, you can see that under the net, that is, in the deep pit, there seem to be a lot of black strange creatures trying to escape from it, but they are blocked by the net and they can't succeed!
At the edge of the net, or pit, there are two figures.
One of them was a scrawny old man, so thin that, at first glance, it looked like a skeleton covered in human skin.
The other is a tall, thin male elf who doesn't look anything special.
"How's it going?" The old man asked.
His voice sounded incredibly dry and hoarse, even a little harsh.
He is naturally Aliana's grandfather, Tyler Meredith.
"Control of the shallow layer has shifted." The tall and thin man was actually another construct found by the old man from the elven ruins, and he replied respectfully, "According to the blood sample, the other party should be your granddaughter." ”
When the old man heard this, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, that's right...... Then, just continue to suppress these monsters from the deep wall layer. ”
He gasped a little heavily, and there was almost no light left on the elf stone in his heart, giving people a feeling that it would be extinguished at any time: "I don't know how long I can hold on." ”
Indeed, since the bombing of the city, the old man's vitality has been infinitely close to running out of oil, and if it weren't for the elf stone's life, he would have died a long time ago.
This is naturally the shallow crystal layer, and it is also the only layer that the old man was able to control before.
It's said to be controlled, but in fact, there aren't many parts that can really be controlled, except for a few constructs, there are only crystal-burning cannons and some peripheral weapons.
There were actually a lot of runaway constructs roaming inside the shallow crystalline layer, and the old man had wanted to clean up these runaway constructs and use the entire shallow crystal layer as his own storage storehouse, but he still gave up on this plan after losing two intact constructs during the battle with the runaway constructs.
At this time, there was only one constructor left, and he naturally didn't dare to continue the waves, so he could only quietly come to the central area with the constructor, and use the power of the elf stone to suppress the things in the deep layer.
"Master, I seem to hear someone fighting in the distance." Suddenly, the tall and thin body reported to the old man.
"This is the shallow crystal layer of the elven ruins, not to mention ordinary creatures, even if you cross the threshold of the transcendent, you can't enter without my consent." The old man shook his head.
"But haven't you already given the authority to that person?" The construct asked.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he did not seem to be the holder of the shallow crystal layer authority anymore.
In this way, as long as the holder is happy, it is completely possible to put other people into the shallow crystalline layer.
"Oh no, I forgot to tell her that this space is too dangerous to just come in!" The old man suddenly became extremely worried.
"The voices seem to be getting higher, and they're probably coming closer in that direction." The construct continued.
"Impossible, it took me a hundred years to barely find a relatively safe passage, how could ordinary people come this way so quickly?" The old man shook his head, "Don't forget the out-of-control constructs wandering in the Crystal Forest. ”
Although the structures around the old man were all humanoid, for some reason, the out-of-control structures in the shallow crystal layer turned into giant creatures that resembled amplified spiders after devouring their own kind and going berserk!
They are extremely hard and move quite quickly, and they are able to shoot powerful rupture rays from the middle of the eye, and they can cause a powerful explosion when they touch it!
It is worth mentioning that it does not use its eyes to observe enemies, but rather moves by sensing the direction of vibrations, and the only eye on its head is only decoration.
"Not only that, but the closer you get here, the more complicated the labyrinth of crystal clusters becomes."
The old man shook his head and said his conclusion: "So there is absolutely no way for an ordinary team to get here." ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to faintly hear the voice of someone not far away, followed by the runaway constructs firing rupture rays, which triggered the effect of an explosion.
After all, the closer you get to the heart of the Elven Ruins, the more runaway constructs there are.
It seems that the group of guys who came in to explore will not survive this wave.
As soon as the old man showed a regretful expression, he heard another shout from that direction.
But for some reason, he always felt that the shout was more like an effort to suppress his feelings of laughter than panic and fear.
"What about Monsieur Magne?"
"Blown up by a light cannon!"
"Monsieur Magna died so quickly this time! And it's the kind of corpse that has no bones left! It seems that this layer is stable! ”
"These light cannon monsters are very slow, don't panic! Go around their backs and backstab them in the neck! What the? No neck? Then stab ASS! ”
"Mufasha, what are you doing, Mufasha! Why just watch over there! Hurry up and use the strength of your sword pole to reverse the light cannonball! ”
"Damn, the beam can't bounce back with a sword, so I'll try it if you give me a shield!"
After a few more moments, the commotion fell silent.
Just when the old man thought that the group of intruders had been wiped out, several figures suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
The young man at the head was holding a burning staff that I didn't know if it was a torch or a staff, and the helmet on his head was also blazing for some reason, which looked subtly funny.
As soon as he saw the old man, his eyes lit up, and he shouted back, "Alina, your grandfather has found it!" ”
