Chapter 1: The abilities of new teammates
The process of teleportation was unusually smooth, when everyone walked out of the white light of the portal, Xing Tianyu looked around, but suddenly found that the surrounding environment was unusually familiar, exactly the same as the teleportation hall when they came, which made him even feel that he was still in that gloomy basement, but he soon found that this was not the case. Although the layout of the hall was identical, there were no summoners to see them off, no one to charge the teleportation array, and even the door to the teleportation room was closed.
It seems that this same opera is due to the fact that both places were built by the Sakadum, and both were teleportation chambers located in a sanctuary.
One by one, his companions walked in from behind him, and when the last person also completed the teleportation, the teleportation circle behind him dimmed for a while, and gradually stopped functioning.
The light was lost, and the eyes were suddenly plunged into darkness again.
Some of the team members flashed flashlights, some lit torches, and Sylvia created several floating balls of light to illuminate the teleportation room.
"So this is the ancient city of Sakadum? Deep in the heart of the earth? Why don't I feel anything special. The Blood Duke asked in a slightly mocking tone.
"All right, guys. Be careful, we should have arrived at the Ancient City by now. Xing Tianyu said, but he was inexplicably disappointed in his heart, in fact, he didn't have the feeling of going deep into danger at all.
"Everyone, keep up, our mission is to find the other missing elders, and if we can, try not to fight. Now, let's first locate the elders, and take out what we have prepared before. ”
Before leaving, several people had prepared the personal belongings of the seven elders for positioning, and at this time they were taken out one by one, Xing Tianyu made a gesture of invitation to Sylvia, Sylvia nodded slightly, picked up a pen, this is Zeus's thing, and then directly used the positioning technique, and a blue light suddenly appeared on the pen. However, this blue light is fleeting.
"Lord Zeus seems to be dead." Sylvia said, picking up a second item. This time it's Aurora.
It's the same positioning, but this time the blue light is pointing in one direction after hovering for a while.
"Looks like our Elder Aurora is still alive." Sylvia announced, everyone was a little relieved to hear this, at least here, the positioning technique could indeed be used, and Sylvia tried several other items one after another, and the results were mixed, good and bad. The good news is that only two of the seven elders died, only Zeus and Zhu Rong hung up, and the other five were still alive.
The bad news is that the five are in three different directions, with Aurora and the Witch Doctor in one direction, Zhurong and Anubis in one direction, and Feathered Serpent in one direction.
This is more difficult, who to find first? You have to think about it.
"The first thing to be sure of is that we must not be separated." Xing Tianyu said, "That's for sure, Sylvia, can you be sure which of them is closer?" ”
"There's no way, the energy in this ancient city is very chaotic, my spell has been disrupted, in fact, being able to determine the direction is already the limit."
Xing Tianyu nodded and said, "Then let's take one step at a time." ”
"Although there are three directions, in fact, there is only one exit from this hall, and who knows what kind of terrain this ancient city is, let's go out and talk about it." Several people nodded their heads, and under the leadership of Xing Tianyu, they walked out of the door of the teleportation room. Outside was a dark corridor, and after walking a short distance along the corridor, a stone gate blocked everyone's way.
Xing Tianyu didn't intend to force his way out of the door, he glanced at Sylvia, Sylvia put his hand on the door, and the arcane light in his hand flashed, "Fossils are mud." ”
The hard rock instantly turned into soft dirt, and with a gentle push, it collapsed, revealing a huge hole. To the surprise of several people, a faint red light shone in from outside the cave.
Enlarge the big hole a bit, and soon an exit more than a meter high appeared, and several people carefully passed through the big hole, and then they saw a picture that shocked everyone.
There was a fiery red light everywhere in front of them, everything was covered by this red light, looking around, they easily found the source of this red light, it turned out that their location turned out to be the edge of a huge spherical space, this spherical space seems to use the same protective technology as the summoner's island, the protective shield isolates the entire space from the outside world, through the invisible barrier, you can see that the outside of the space is the hot flowing magma, the magma is isolated by the invisible barrier, It can't invade this space, but it casts the dark red glow of lava into it. As far as the eye can see, it makes people feel like they are in purgatory.
Amazingly, several people didn't feel the heat, and it seemed that the barrier was able to isolate not only the magma, but even the heat.
In front of them was a vast plain, with no vegetation on the ground, the crimson ground was made of cooled volcanic rock, and the barrier was like an endless square, empty of which was only the remains of fallen stone monuments and stone pillars. The square is unusually large, seemingly a whole circle, covering two-thirds of the entire space. And in the middle of the square is a massive city, built on top of a mountain range that resembles a building and a rock, and looks like a pyramid of strange shapes.
These buildings all reveal a quality that is completely different from the aesthetic style of human beings, coupled with the dark red glow reflected in the color, and the gurgling sound of lava flowing, giving people an inexplicable and terrifying atmosphere, which makes people feel inexplicably terrifying.
The blue cursor generated by the three positioning techniques pointed to three different directions in this terrifying ancient city.
Facing the magnificent ancient city in front of him, and facing the relics left by the alien civilization millions of years ago, Rao is a few people are well-informed, but they are still speechless for a while, and a sense of awe involuntarily arises in their hearts.
That's right, this is the underground ancient city in my mind! Xing Tianyu thought with some excitement.
"Alright guys, let's go."
"Looks like this is where we're going." The Blood Duke said in a somewhat dry voice.
"yes, that's where we're going." Xing Tianyu repeated, he glanced at everyone, "This time our actions will be very dangerous, so before leaving, I must know your abilities before I can arrange a plan for the action." ”
This is also the proper meaning of the question, several people reported their names and abilities, in addition to Xing Tianyu, Sylvia, and Lucifer, there are four summoners, among which the blood duke, Xing Tianyu has already seen it. His ability is blood magic, a spell dedicated to vampires, and of course, in addition to this, as a powerful vampire, the Blood Duke himself is also very capable of fighting.
The second person to introduce himself was Francon, he was a taciturn middle-aged man, this age was secretly guessed by Xing Tianyu, because he was bald, no hair, not even eyebrows, the whole person's skin was delicate and smooth without a single pore, he looked weird, and he couldn't even judge the specific age.
"My ability is to change my body at will."
"What do you mean by changing your body at will?" Xing Tianyu asked curiously.
"It's like this." Franconia spoke, and a layer of mucus suddenly secreted from the surface of his body, which quickly wrapped him in it, and the mucus quickly dried, turning into a huge white cocoon-like thing, and when the cocoon cracked, Franconia reappeared from the cocoon, but at this time he completely changed his appearance, his body was covered with thick scale armor, and his white palms grew barb-like claws, and even a tail behind him, which looked like a huge humanoid lizard.
"I'll go, what the hell!" The change in the person in front of him made everyone startled, but Xing Tianyu was not frightened, the scene in front of him was a familiar acquaintance, "Is it the power of activated blood?" ”
"That's right, there's something else, but I can't tell you, you just need to know that I can transform into any form of creature, and different forms can deal with different environments, so don't worry about me being held back or something."
This made Xing Tianyu a little surprised, it seems that those who dare to join this operation must have some ability.
His gaze turned to the other two. "And what are the abilities of the two?"
A young-looking boy was the first to introduce himself, "My main ability is my eyes, and because I used to see things that I can't describe, my eyes have some ability. You can see through the essence of things, see the past and the future, and see the changes in cause and effect, so if you can't make a judgment on something, I can give you some advice, and you don't have to worry about my safety, because I can see the changes in the laws of fate, I can always turn evil into good fortune. Also, my name is Sky Eye. ”
Xing Tianyu looked at the man's eyes, he hadn't paid attention to it at first, but at this time, he found that there were no pupils in those eyes, but a little silver light like a galaxy, and it looked like a huge vortex, which looked very strange.
Xing Tianyu nodded, "So what do you see from me?" ”
"You are destined to accomplish some kind of business, and until then, your life is not in danger." But at the last minute, you have to make a choice. This choice determines your life and death. ”
"I thought you could see the future of things?" The Blood Duke said sarcastically, "What you said is no different from what you didn't say, what kind of heavenly eye, I think it's an excuse for you to be lazy." ”
"The future is always uncertain, at least for some people. There are also some people's fates that have already been predestined, such as you. The boy looked at the Blood Duke with a smile and looked him up and down, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll die here." ”
The Blood Duke sneered, but didn't say anything, obviously not believing Tianyan's words.
Xing Tianyu looked at the last person again, "What about you?" ”
The last person was a peaceful-looking black-robed man, wearing a hood, like an ancient monk.
"You can call me the Sleepless, I don't mention my own ability, there is nothing surprising, it's just a mid-level psionic ability and some unpopular spells, but attached to me is a powerful spiritual creature from the Abyss Realm, an alpha-level spirit from the Spirit Realm, and an ancient tree soul from the Tree Realm, as well as some other messy things, as their host, they will protect me when I am in danger."
Xing Tianyu said in his heart that this guy is also a strange thing, he is possessed by so many things and is not dead, but it seems that these guys still have two brushes. "All right, guys. I already know what you're capable of, and it gives me a little more confidence in this action, but I still have to say a few things to note before I move forward. First of all, it should be noted that the Nightmare King has lived for millions of years, no matter how he did it, it is clear that his strength is extremely strong, so if there is no need, we don't need to take the initiative to fight him, try to save people, and leave alive as the main goal, after determining the whereabouts of everyone, we will return to this place and teleport away again. ”
"The second and most important point. As his name suggests, the Nightmare King is the master of dreams, so if any of you fall asleep, once you enter the dream, there is no doubt that the Nightmare King will be spotted immediately, so don't fall asleep. The Nightmare King has a strong control over dreams, and once you fall asleep and enter the Dream Realm, the Nightmare King can do whatever he wants, killing you or enslaving you easily, so don't sleep. ”
Several people nodded, especially the sleepless ones.
"And what is the third?" Tianyan suddenly asked.
Xing Tianyu said curiously, "How do you know that there is a third?" ”
Tianyan shrugged, "There's always going to be a third, isn't it?" ”
Xing Tianyu nodded, "Okay, there is indeed a third note. Although the Nightmare King's main combat power is not yet known, I personally prefer that he has no actual combat ability. He should be dormant, because I can always see his nightmare realm when I was in a dream in the past, so he should always be asleep, but he has an ability to mind control and enslave intelligent beings, so it is possible that he has already controlled several elders, and when you see them, don't let your guard down. In addition, the Nightmare King, as a Sakadum, must have a powerful summoning ability, and there may be some terrifying monsters in this ancient city that we can't imagine, so be ready to fight hard. ”
"Okay, that's it. Now let's go. Those who have the ability to scout, pay attention to the situation around you - what can you see in this square? ”
