Chapter 1088: The Silent Sea (2)
The seabed near the Sea Elf City was the kind of soft sand that you often see on TV, and near the Silent Sea was a rock slab made of whole rocks, and now the seabed under An's feet was full of fine cracks, large and small.
This kind of fracture of the seabed is usually caused by undersea earthquakes, but the rock slabs caused by undersea earthquakes will not break so badly, and should break into large pieces.
The cracks are so dense that they are even reminiscent of the cracks that appear in the ground after being exposed to the sun.
An Yizhi speculated that the situation in front of him felt more like some kind of powerful explosion erupting on the surface, and the shock wave blew away the sea sand and shattered the rock slabs here.
After all, every time the burst magic is released, similar traces can always be found on the rocks outside the blasting heart, and An Yizhi is no stranger to this.
It is estimated that the floating city of the ancient elves fell into the sea tens of thousands of years ago, and the strong magic fluctuations broke out in an instant, which was no less than an underwater nuclear explosion, and its side effect was to make the silent sea full of strange magic.
Due to the 'preservation' effect of magic, even after tens of thousands of years, the surrounding traces still maintain the same as when they exploded, as if time has been frozen.
I scanned the surroundings with a dance of lights, but I didn't see any signs of monsters, at most I saw a few starfish and sea cucumbers crawling slowly between the crevices.
I always felt that this was not the same as the information I received.
Speaking of the Silent Sea, anyone who knows has told Ann that it is very dangerous, and that it is full of powerful and twisted monsters.
But An Yizhi flew towards the depths of the Silent Sea for more than ten minutes, even if the Dragon Wing could not use the top speed in the water, he must have entered the Silent Sea after crossing a considerable distance, but he did not encounter any monsters.
Not only is this not a good thing, but it will make An Yizhi feel a little frightened.
As the saying goes, if something is abnormal, there must be a demon, rather than believing that it is the collective blowing of others, An Yizhi prefers to believe that there is something wrong.
With all the protection and early warning spells blessed, An Yizhi carried the magic guide staff in his right hand and the book of shields in his left hand, and continued to fly forward with a posture of facing a great enemy.
As the distance deepened, the surrounding environment also quietly changed.
The flat seabed is disappearing, replaced by a jumble of rocks that look like rocky beaches that have been swept away by the shock wave and piled up together.
Players will have to be careful if they don't step on their feet and fall if they don't step steadily, but Ann has dragon wings on his fingers, and he simply flies over from above.
Further on, you can see more and more fine gravel blocks, and the texture of these stones is different from the previous rocky beach. The former is mostly granite and shale, and most of the stones that appear this time are marble.
Moving on, there are some large pieces of gravel, which can still be vaguely seen on the traces of artificial carving, and some of the stone surfaces can clearly see the patterns.
In terms of shape and style, it looks like the handwriting and style of the ancient elves. On behalf of An Yi, he is getting closer and closer to the area where the floating city fell.
This discovery made him a little excited, after all, An Yizhi wasted so much energy to come to the Silent Sea Sea for the ruins of the Floating City of the Ancient Elves, and maybe he could turn out an epic item from under a certain stone.
He sped up the dragon's wings slightly, and the gravel lying on the seabed became denser, and the traces of manifold became more and more obvious, sometimes even the entire structure of the building could be seen.
However, after about ten minutes, An Yizhi still did not touch the monster, nor did he touch any traces of the treasure.
During this time, he found an inconspicuous tunnel, which was sealed with rocks, and only a hole could only accommodate children to enter and exit.
This discovery made An Yizhi think that he had found the entrance to the Fallen Floating City, and he was very excited to throw it in the secret eye to check it. As a result, the Arcane Eye only advanced less than twenty meters before it encountered a dead end, and the only thing it found was a few crabs and some strange fish that had been frightened by the Arcane Eye.
Looks like some alien creature......
- This trough seems to have been spitted up?
This disappointed him, and he thought that the first harvest would come so quickly.
But don't be too disappointed, because An Yizhi has found a new clue.
Now Ann Yizhi is very close to the fall site of a floating city, and the large and dense debris of buildings around it indicates that the location of the floating city is not far from here, and there is a more reliable evidence.
Whenever the light of the Dancing Light Technique swept over the ruins, some colorful 'light curtains' would occasionally be seen on the ruins.
These light curtains do not emit light, but only reflect a specific color of light when the light dance has passed, and they are long or short, ranging from five or six meters long to less than half a meter, and at first glance they look like a railing of light.
Hela says it's an arcane spoiler, and it looks harmless and even pretty good, but if you dare to touch it with your hands, it's going to make you feel good.
The essence of Arcane Spoilers is a huge flow of energy, which is no less powerful than any B-rank spell, and they are continuous, and the total output is even more exaggerated than A-rank spells.
This is a very rare thing, and is mainly found in ruins with large magical power and severe damage. This will only happen if the core of the ruins is still functioning, but the whole has been destroyed.
This thing is equivalent to a magical version of the leakage phenomenon, and the mana that continues to accumulate will accumulate inside the pipeline, and when a certain threshold is reached and exceeded, this arcane turbulence will be created to vent the excess mana.
These arcane spoilers are also a formidable enemy for players who come here to explore, as they are hard to spot in dark vision, and if they pass through them without knowing it, they will be dead. They can only be illuminated with Illumination, but with Illumination they attract monsters.
Arcane spoilers aren't too rare, and some mages have even created spells based on this principle, such as the Arcane Ring, a defensive spell that creates a controllable arcane turbulence that surrounds the caster to prevent enemies from approaching, and is one of the few types of defense among Shaping spells.
However, Hela also mentioned that ordinary ruins do not have so many arcane turbulences, and it is usually good to find two or three places, and there are large and small 'light curtains' everywhere in front of you.
This has put on the face the sentence that there is something that provides it with immense magical powers!
Not to mention epic items, even legendary items can't consistently provide magic to such a large number of arcane spoilers, and their source of energy must be the core of the Floating City, which the Elder Elves regarded as the top secret.
This thing can't be moved without professional knowledge, and Ann doesn't need that thing with a finger, but there is a core to provide magic, which means that the ruins are still full of magic, as long as you find a way to enter the ruins to explore, any magic items found in it will not lose their magic because of age.
To put it simply, the harvest is very rewarding.
Ann took out the map given by Tiffany, intending to use magic tricks to see where she was.
This map is different from the one shown to him by the Sea Clan Ambassador, it does not indicate any land cities, although it is more detailed.
However, this map is somewhat quirky.
It can be roughly divided into two halves, the left side is more detailed, and a small island in the upper left corner is marked 'Sailing Island', which is where the Sea Giant docks, and where the Sea Clan trades with the land races.
After skimming over an open sea area with only marked terrain and other dangerous areas, you can see the various cities of the Sea Tribe. They surround the Silent Sea in a semicircle.
So far, the annotations on the map have been fairly detailed, but after passing the city and looking at the right side of the map, there is only a blank space outlined in a huge semicircle.
The empty space is mainly the Silent Sea, which acts like a moat to prevent the Sea Clan from exploring farther afield.
Speaking of the moats, the part of the map about the Silent Sea is not completely blank, and you can see a crack on the map that looks like a huge scar crossing the Silent Sea.
Hela said that it was a trench, and that no one knew how deep it was, and that there had been sea tribes who had dived into the part of the trench that stretched out of the Silent Sea to see how deep it was, but none of them came up alive.
Nikolai's database labeled it as extremely dangerous, and used the harsh words 'Even if the world is destroyed, only the trench is safe, and it will never hide in it'.
An Yizhi didn't want to do this, the effect of the bubble shell is difficult to guarantee, and there is a limit, even the Sea Clan can't go down, let alone himself.
As the magic trick was unleashed, there was an extra red dot on the map that represented Ann's current location.
The red dot was quite close to the edge of the 'circle' on the map that marked the extent of the Silent Sea, and to put it bluntly, An Yizhi had been flying forward for so long, and he had just entered the Silent Sea.
It's bigger than you think......
Stuffing the map back into his dimensional pocket, An Yizhi, who was about to continue searching for an entrance nearby, moved his heart, sensing the danger and a stinging pain.
Monsters have finally appeared!
There are wrecks scattered everywhere, only a little light from the dancing light technique, and the silent and deep seabed as the background, An Yizhi, who walks through here, is inevitably a little trembling, and the monster coming out makes him more happy.
The gesture of the hand changed, and the four balls of light of the Dancing Light Technique received the order, and spun rapidly to continue to expand the range of illumination.
This action also makes the wreckage of the surrounding buildings refract distorted shadows, and it really looks a bit of a horror movie.
However, the expansion of the lighting range is not meant to create an atmosphere, and the rotating light soon illuminates the monsters that lurk in the crevices and shadows.
They looked like two strange fish, about the size of a bicycle, with a mouth similar to that of a parrot, and a head wrapped in a single piece of armor-like bone, their bodies looking a little transparent, more like jellyfish than flesh and blood, but with a dangerous power in their bodies.
This is the hollow elacanth.
