Chapter 198: The First Excavation Point

"Miss Delis, Miss Delis?"

Ai Xiaoxiao whispered and walked into the kitchen, but there was no cat lady in the familiar position near the stove. She looked around, and couldn't help but show a puzzled look on her face, usually at this time of day, Miss Delis would come out for a walk.

Tianlan passed by the patio outside, saw her, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing, Xiaoxiao?" ”

Ai Xiaoxiao looked back: "Have you seen Miss Delis?" ”

"Miss Delis?" Tianlan thought for a moment and shook her head: "It seems that I really haven't seen it." But don't worry, she's elusive, maybe she'll appear in a while. ”

Ai Xiaoxiao looked at the small jar full of dried fish in her arms, and was a little disappointed: "Oh." ”

Sky blue eyes rolled, and suddenly said mysteriously: "Leave Miss Delith, go, I'll take you to see something." ”

"Huh?"

Ai Xiaoxiao was a little caught off guard and looked at the hand that was grabbed by Tianlan.

"Do you remember the hut that the captain made before, aren't you curious about the identity of that 'guest'?"

"But Miss Attila told us not to disturb it."

"Yes, but they're not here now."

Ai Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and was also a little moved: "Then should we tell Tangtang?" ”

"No, Brother Ed's cousin isn't fun at all, it's a one-eye."

"Sugar Candy must be angry to hear you say that-"

Tianlan lowered her voice: "So you must not tell her." ”

Ai Xiaoxiao listened and nodded again and again. So the two little girls sneaked up on the stern of the boat.

……

After the dust settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the dragon's minions fall.

Red put the shield on the ground with a 'thump', and glanced back at the gray-faced Paparal, his silver eyes revealing a hint of amusement, "Parker, your ability to cause trouble really hasn't changed at all. I remember the last time I was in the Forsaken Sanctuary in the Traveler's Swamp, by the way, and last time, it was like that? ”

Parker patted the dust on his body, causing a cloud of dust, and as a result, he couldn't stop coughing: "Ahem, cough, it wasn't me last time, it was sky blue!" ”

"The curse mark I was talking about."

"Hah...... Ahem, what's wrong with a qualified Paparal being curious? ”

"But you're not from Paparal."

"Ahem, ahem, I'm telling you, big cat people, you may not know it yet - it's a Paparal talent, yes, I'd say the Chosen doesn't make any difference. You know, that's what it looks like—"

"What does it look like?"

"That's it...... This is what it looks like. ”

Alyssa couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Attila sighed and stopped the two from bickering, "So what exactly did you just run into just now, Parker?" ”

"A skeleton, how do I know its head doesn't fit properly around its neck?" Parker turned around and pointed in one direction and said, "It's in—"

Suddenly, his eyes widened, his mouth widened, and he looked at the place and raised his hands: "-Wait, I swear, it was right here!" ”

Attila looked at the empty place and sighed again, "There's nothing there, Parker." ”

"No, it really should be in this place...... A skeleton in a robe, I can even describe to you what it looks like, the robe is as good as new—except for a little dirty. ”

Parker ran over in surprise and lay on the ground, as if trying to find something under the dust, but there was nothing under the dust. He looked up again—the light of the torch in Alyssa's hand flickering in the darkness—but the underground passage was empty.

Remembering that the skeleton was supposed to be in this place, he reached for the robe and accidentally kicked the skull. By the way, what about skulls?

Even the skull is gone.

Parker almost jumped three feet high, so what the hell was he kicking, it was a hell of a life. He looked at Attila a little confused, and stammered, "What you all saw just now, that skull ......"

Only then did Alyssa say, "I did see a skeleton before. ”

She pointed in that direction and said, "It was lying there sideways, wearing a robe that, although covered with a layer of gray, could still be seen to be red. The robes were intact and undamaged, at least from my direction. ”

"Yes, yes," Parker nodded like garlic, "absolutely." ”

"And where has it gone now?"

"I guess it might be an undead creature, you know that kind of thing, it must have escaped while we were fighting-"

Attila sighed, "Undead creatures don't run away, especially low-level undead creatures, Parker. ”

"What if it's a high-level undead creature?"

"Then why did it run away?"

"Uh, well, big cat man, you asked a good question...... Parker patted his head, "Let's say, I mean—maybe it's a pacifist." ”

Red rolled his eyes.

Alyssa laughed too, and replied, "If it escapes, someone of us should see it." ”

"I didn't see it." The big cat man put away his shield and replied.

"Actually, I didn't." Alyssa replied with a smile.

"And where did it go?" Attila asked, but no one answered her. The elf girl turned her head, looked at Fang Ou, who was still distracted, and said softly, "Ed? ”

"Huh?"

Fang Yu was only a stirring spirit and came back to his senses. He looked at the others a little dazedly and asked curiously, "What's the matter, what are you guys discussing?" ”

"Compared to that," Red shaved the mane on his chin with his paws, "what were you thinking?" ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the place where the dragon's minions had fallen.

Just now, he could clearly see a black light rise from there and hit him in the chest. This scared him out of the way, but after checking it out, nothing seemed to have happened.

But when I subconsciously flipped through the list of characters, I accidentally found an extra line of attributes under the magic value of the magic furnace. It reads:

Unknown element - 1.

There's nothing strange about this attribute in itself - most Summoners have a list of attributes called elemental fitness. Because in Aitalia, magic has an elemental nature, and in order to adapt to the elemental magic of different natures, people often need to have different elemental properties.

Otherwise, there will be a (elemental) magic erosion effect. Injuries at the slightest, death at the worst -

The higher the elemental fitness, the greater the total amount of mana it can withstand, and in general, the elemental adaptability will increase according to the character's 'level'. This also limits the different levels of magic furnaces that one can use.

Fang Yu himself does not have elemental fitness, or elemental adaptability is attributeless magic (ordinary people are suitable for this), but although it has no attributes, it still has an adaptability 'level', but it can't be seen on weekdays.

However, for his level, the number should be between two and three.

So, what does this Unknown Elemental Level 1 mean? Since it was only level one, it was definitely not his attributeless magic adaptability, and Fang Yu had never heard of the term 'unknown element'.

In Aitalia, there are only four elements in the perception of the elements—the crimson fire, the blue sky, the ochre-yellow earth, and the blue water.

In addition, scholars believe that there is a fifth element, the divine element, light. The Aether of Light has always been the power of the gods and the source of the spells that their followers cast.

It's just that the ether of light, whether it is an element or not, has not yet been determined. However, in Aitalia, light adaptability does exist, and is even common, because only those who possess light and magic adaptability are suitable to become priests and priests.

He is also the favored man of the gods.

Other than that, there is no sixth element.

Despite the fact that dark forces still exist in Aitalia, first of all, there have been no instances of the existence of dark etheric fitness, either in the present or in history.

Second, the dark has a unique 'erosion' property, but it is not a pure existence - neither an aetheric property, but a 'power' that can assimilate any kind of elemental magic except the light aether.

Since it's not aether, it's not an element.

This is the consensus of the people.

And that's why he's so distracted.

He looked at his list of characters again, and then asked in amazement, "Didn't you see it?" ”

"See what?"

"A black light—"

"Black light?"

"Yes, just now, the corpse of the dragon's minions ......" Fang Yu then recounted in detail what had happened before, including the current situation in his list of characters.

Red and Attila didn't understand the Elector system, and when the elf girl heard this, she only frowned and asked, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with it, Ed?" You said the black light hit your chest, but what about after that? ”

"Nothing happened after that, I checked with Miss Tata," Fang Ou replied with a shake of his head, "Miss Attila, I'm fine." ”

"You'll have to see it to know - hand out, little one." The big cat man spoke at this time.

Fang Yu knew that Red, as a paladin, was quite adept at dealing with dark forces, so he did what he said. The big cat man's big furry paws pressed against his hand, and a shallow light spread out from his palm.

The light swept past Fang Yuan's body.

Fang Yu took a step back slightly, and then looked at the big cat man.

Rhett had a look of surprise on his face, narrowed his eyes, and pondered for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "It seems that there is really no problem, there is no feedback from the dark power-"

But the big cat man showed a smile on his face again: "It's that cute little guy inside you who is grinning at me protesting." ”

Fang Yu looked at it, only to find that Nini was waving her little fist angrily, looking like she had just been woken up.

He hurriedly soothed the latter and put her back to sleep—the newborn little dragon soul always needed more time to rest.

"So what's going on?" Attila asked.

Alyssa, on the other hand, was more familiar with the Summoner system, and after thinking about it, she guessed, "...... Maybe Mr. Ed absorbed Nicol Bolas's power, but don't forget how Nini came to be. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but look at his chest, which was where the Golden Flame Ring was. He reached out and grasped the pendant, as if he really felt a little warm in it.

"And what about the elemental suitability?"

"It's the Dark Elemental, isn't that what Nicol Bolas wields. You have absorbed her power, so you have dark elemental adaptability, which seems reasonable? Alyssa replied.

"But is the dark element really an elemental?" Fang Yu asked rhetorically: "And why does it appear as an unknown element, and I must not feel the existence of the dark aether, which seems to be a little surprising from the elemental adaptability in the general sense." ”

"That's strange," replied Alyssa, "but that's not the only thing that's strange at the moment. ”

Fang Yu was stunned: "What?" ”

Alyssa recounted what had happened before.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but look in the direction of the Paparal, and frowned, he also remembered that he had seen the skeleton before—and he saw Parker reach out and pull the robe from the skeleton, and then a series of events had happened.

Could it be that they are mistaken?

But he, Alyssa and Parker, how could the three of them be wrong at the same time? He vaguely felt that something was not quite right underground, but after looking around, he couldn't find any clue.

He thought for a moment and said, "All in all, it's useless to guess that staying here, let's leave this place first." ”

Everyone nodded.

After walking through the dim and deep underground world, it took a long time for the group to finally find the first exit.

It was a secret door, nestled in a stone wall, and the only thing recognizable was a distinctive torch latch. If it weren't for the clue given by Bunigu, Miss Nightingale, who had the sharpest eyes in the group, I am afraid she would have missed it.

And about this latch, it is said that there was no such difference in the original design, but the smugglers were afraid of missing this secret door, so they deliberately added it.

The lion-man stepped forward and pressed the latch with his hand for a turn, and although it had been a hundred years, the mechanism behind the secret door was still functioning, and the door made a tooth-smacking sound and slowly opened backwards.

A smell of dust permeated the air.

Fang Yuan immediately took out a clockwork fairy, but Attila held his hand and threw a plant out first. Fang Yu saw the plant with the red stem fluttering to the ground, and immediately withered.

Attila then said to him, "This is the Devouring Vine, if there is a spell, it will absorb magic and survive." The forests are often populated by fallen wizards and necromancers, and we use this to detect their magic. ”

"But there is more than that," added the big cat man, as if afflicted, "there the druids plant these thorns in patches, and when you go you will know how magnificent it is." ”

Fang Yu thought to himself that if he had the opportunity to go, he would definitely go and see, and he had also longed for the Giant Tree Hill for a long time, which was not only the home of the forest elves, but also the kingdom of Sanshak and the Paparals.

The devouring vine withered, proving that there was no detection of magic in this direction, and no magician was paying attention to this direction, so Fang Yu was relieved to release his clockwork goblin. It took him about a few minutes to get a clear picture of what was going on.

There was no danger in the back, and the Blood Shark Sky Pirates didn't seem to notice the existence of such a dark passage - at least in this direction.

After the group passed through the secret door, the first thing that ran over the floor was a large group of rats chirping. It can only be said that it is fortunate that Tianlan is not there, otherwise the two little girls would have screamed in fright.

And then the back stairs continue up, there is another secret door. The lionman pushed it away with some effort, and the secret door led to the surface. Looking inside from the outside of the door, this secret passage is very ingeniously designed, if you don't know that this is the entrance in advance, it is impossible for ordinary people to guess that there is another mystery below.

Fang Yu walked out of the dark passage, looked left and right, and quickly recognized this place.

"I've 'visited' here when I was scouting before," he said, "I remember the nearby terrain, and not far ahead was the first excavation site of the Blood Shark Air Pirates, and it seems that we were lucky." ”

"A good start," the big cat man twitched his hair, "often a good omen." ”

"But we've got to leave one to guard the door, and we'll have to come back later." Fang Yu said again.

"I'll do it," Red volunteered, "It's not suitable to sneak in with such armor." ”

Fang Yu nodded.

The group left the dark passage and headed north along a path in the ruins, and after a short time, they saw the light of fire coming from the front. Fang Ou looked up in that direction, recognizing that it was the excavation site he had seen before.

He turned around and whispered, "Miss Attila, do you still have the Devouring Vine?" ”

Miss Elf nodded, didn't say much, and threw one forward. The devouring vine fell to the ground, and quickly came to life, as if it grew in the wind, and spread in one direction.

Seeing this scene, there was no need for Attila to say, Fang Yu also understood that there was a spell effect in that direction.

But he was not in a hurry, but he had already prepared to take out a construct that looked a bit like the Sleeper Ts-1 and threw it forward. The construct fell to the ground like a dead leaf, stretching out of its own accord, and there seemed to be some faint flickering of light in the air.

It was the Disruptor, a variant of the Lurker with the Interference module installed, but it couldn't interfere with most of the Elemental Messenger and Magister's spells, but it was often effective against this stationary enchantment-type detection spell.

The Disruptor can be used three times after being charged, each lasting about five minutes. It is also made of a special material, so it cannot be detected by most spells.

When Fang Yu saw those flickering spots of light, he understood that the jammer had taken effect, and immediately made a gesture to the others, signaling them to follow him and pass through the passage created by the jammer.

However, when he passed by the disruptors, he did not put them away, but planned to return the same way from here for a while.
