Chapter 102: Arcane Ruins (Part II)

Seven days later, the underground of the village of Jean was full of tunnels......

Since he didn't know the depth and location of the arcane ruins underground, and he didn't even know the specific size and shape of the arcane ruins, Wang Xiaoyu could only dig countless passages underground to explore.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaoyu had a [Magical Energy Perception] that could penetrate the soil, otherwise it would have taken him much longer to find this arcane ruin.

The location of the Arcane Ruins at a depth of 40 meters underground was somewhat unexpected by Wang Xiaoyu, but Wang Xiaoyu also quickly figured out that it should be the battle during the abyss invasion that accidentally destroyed the ground and made this place exposed, otherwise it would not have been discovered by the small guild by chance as the forum said.

……

Wang Xiaoyu quickly dug down towards the location of the similar wall in the [Magical Energy Perception], and the wall at the top of the arcane ruins quickly appeared at Wang Xiaoyu's feet.

The walls were sturdy and of strange material, and Wang Xiaoyu dug a few times with the [Vampire Claws], but it did nothing other than dull his nails, which were sharper than steel.

Rubik's Rubik's Cube was spit out of Wang Xiaoyu's stomach, after several twists and activations, the Rubik's Cube emitted a bright white light, the color and material of the wall of this site were also observed by Wang Xiaoyu, it was gray and black color, and the material was probably a combination of rock and plastic, which was a very peculiar material.

The Universal Rubik's Cube was twisted by Wang Xiaoyu again, and a rotating drill the size of a fist appeared.

Wang Xiaoyu used the drill bit to press on the wall under his feet, and the fire splashed, but the wall did not change except for a trace of scratches.

Shaking his head, Wang Xiaoyu turned the Rubik's Cube into a spherical shape again and swallowed it in his stomach, and gave up his intention to break the wall.

Although it was very likely that this wall would be destroyed by borrowing that extraordinary weapon containing wind-based energy, Wang Xiaoyu immediately gave up this plan after thinking about it, because the mortal-level swordsman was still in the village of Jean.

Even if he could break the wall and retract his weapon in a very short time, the swordsman would definitely dig in his direction, after all, it was only 40 meters deep now, and the pit that the swordsman had dug before had dug nearly 200 meters.

……

Wang Xiaoyu quickly excavated along the roof of this arcane ruin in the direction detected by [Magic Energy Perception], since the most direct way to destroy the wall could not be done, he could only find the entrance to the ruins step by step.

Most arcane ruins are the residences where arcanists live, so Wang Xiaoyu knew that there should be an entrance here.

Digging to the edge of the roof of the ruins, Wang Xiaoyu continued to dig down, and during the excavation, Wang Xiaoyu also found that the material of the walls of the ruins had changed, and the color of the walls below had changed to white, but he still could not destroy the walls.

Wang Xiaoyu estimated that these walls should have been carved with magic patterns on the inside, which is why they are so strong.

The height of the ruins is about 10 meters, Wang Xiaoyu quickly came to the bottom layer, and then began to look for the gate of this ruins along the wall of the ruins, because of the perspective effect of [Magic Energy Perception], after excavating more than ten meters, Wang Xiaoyu successfully found the entrance to the Arcane Ruins.

It was a three-meter-tall silver-white gate still made of unknown materials, and the door was crawling with magical patterns that Wang Xiaoyu didn't know the meaning of.

There is only a ring handle on the gate and no other mechanisms, after thoroughly cleaning up the surrounding dirt, Wang Xiaoyu easily pushed it away, but it was only pushed away a little bit and could not be pushed, even if Wang Xiaoyu turned into a [Heavy Knight Form] and stimulated the fighting spirit, he could not continue to push.

Perhaps because of the damage of time or other unknown reasons, Wang Xiaoyu, the gate of this arcane ruin, could only push open a narrow gap of less than half a centimeter, which even red-headed crickets could not pass through.

The arcane ruins inside the gap were dark, and Wang Xiaoyu used [ultrasound] to detect that it was an empty square room with a length of 5 meters and a height of 3 meters, and there should be other rooms connected to it at the back.

After realizing that there should be no danger here, Wang Xiaoyu ordered the red-headed crickets on the side to wait in place, although the red-headed crickets could not enter this site, it did not mean that he could not enter.

Wang Xiaoyu first spit out the seeds of the Tree of Life in his stomach and put them into the Rubik's Cube, and then changed the Rubik's Cube into the shape of a paper and took the lead through the gap.

Then Wang Xiaoyu used [gelatinization] to turn into gelatinization and gradually poured into the gap, although Wang Xiaoyu's [gelatinization] can only turn 15% of the body into gum at present, but Wang Xiaoyu can constantly change the part of his body into gelatin, so through this narrow gap Wang Xiaoyu did not have much effort.

It's just that when Wang Xiaoyu completely entered this gap, his dim vision suddenly changed, and Wang Xiaoyu found that he seemed to have come to a city......

……

"It's... Endymion, the capital of magic? Wang Xiaoyu looked at the surrounding scenery and said suspiciously.

Wang Xiaoyu quickly discovered the difference, this should be Endymion, but not the Endymion of this time.

Wang Xiaoyu vaguely saw the largest mage tower in Endymion, but this mage tower is more brand-new than the current mage tower in Endymion, and the other architectural styles here are also more ancient.

The scenery here is indeed Endymion, but it should be a more ancient Endymion, Wang Xiaoyu quickly took action in this city, although there is not a single human in this city, but from vision, [ultrasound], [infrared perception] and [magic perception], and even touching the walls of the house by touching the walls of the house with his feet and limbs all indicate that this is a real city.

However, Wang Xiaoyu knew that this city was fake, first outside the ruins, he found out that this was a small space, and then here Wang Xiaoyu also found something strange, that is, there was no wind here, and although the sun in the sky had heat in his [infrared perception], Wang Xiaoyu's body could not feel the heat of the sun.

By putting half of his body in the shade and half in the sun, but the heat of his body in [Infrared Perception] is the same, Wang Xiaoyu also completely confirmed that his current location is a false city.

"It's an illusion magic [mirage]......" Wang Xiaoyu muttered, if his estimate was right, then from the beginning, he was just spinning in place in the city.

And if there is no good way to deal with it, then he will definitely get lost in this illusion to death.

However, Wang Xiaoyu is not without a way to deal with it, the simplest is the function of the direction indicator in Rubik's Rubik's cube.

Focusing on the direction shown by the Rubik's Cube's direction indicator, and then ignoring all his senses to move, Wang Xiaoyu could feel that the scenery around him would change drastically with every step he took.

But that wasn't enough, even though he could get the direction clear, the scenery around him wouldn't change, so even if there was a doorknob in front of him, he wouldn't be able to spot and use it.

Wang Xiaoyu immediately resorted to his final countermeasure, activating [Camouflage Camouflage], Wang Xiaoyu's insect body scale armor turned green, and then continued to activate [High-level Photosynthesis].

And with the activation of [high-level photosynthesis], Wang Xiaoyu felt that his body had absorbed strange magical elements, and the picture of the surrounding cities also became distorted in his vision......

A chime from the system also came out at this time......
