Chapter 340 to 341: The Lost City
Xiao Ling walked along the stairs, the long staircase had no end, and stretched far underground.
It's been a full hour, and I haven't even reached the end of the staircase, where does this staircase lead?
Xiao Ling had some doubts in his heart, what did Antonic build such a tunnel for? Is it used to escape? Is this tunnel leading to the outside of the city?
Of course, this is just Xiao Ling's speculation, with full of doubts, Xiao Ling continued to walk down, the stairs have been leading to the depths of the ground, from the beginning to the present, the surrounding scene has hardly changed, and after walking for more than three hours, Xiao Ling's doubts in his heart are getting stronger and stronger, looking at this situation, I don't know when I will reach the end of the stairs.
Although this area is not very open, it just allows a horse to pass through, Xiao Ling summoned the skeleton war horse and rode on the skeleton war horse.
Xiao Ling patted the back of the skeleton war horse, and the skeleton war horse neighed, and galloped towards the bottom of the stairs, although it was a steep slope, the skeleton war horse was also on the ground.
The skeleton war horse ran down for nearly two hours, and finally stepped on a flat ground, Xiao Ling hurriedly pulled the skeleton war horse and stopped.
Xiao Ling looked into the distance, this is an incomparably open space, as far as the eye can see, it is simply a huge underground world, in the center of this incomparably wide space, there is a towering city, its magnificence is better than that of the Holy Light City, the outer city wall is completely made of white boulders, this city glows dazzling white in the dark, like a holy city carved from white jade, like a magnified Holy Light City.
In the center of the city, on the towering buildings, countless lights flicker, dazzling and beautiful.
System: You discovered the Lost City of Resnard.
When she saw the words Resnard, Xiao Ling was stunned, it was actually Resnard, this ancient civilization that had perished a long time ago!
Confirming that the system prompted that it was Resnard, Xiao Ling recalled the historical materials of the Enzes Continent.
100,000 years ago, the first civilization was born on the continent of Enzes, which was the Reynard civilization, which lasted for nearly 50,000 years in the Enzes continent, and 50,000 years ago, Resnard suddenly disappeared, and I don't know what the reason is, only some ruins left on the continent, as well as some ancient relics in the corners of the world, determined that it existed.
Some people say that Resnard resisted the gods, tried to destroy all living beings, suffered divine punishment, and the gods joined forces to annihilate the Resnard civilization in the long river of history, of course, this is just rumors and legends, no one knows what the truth is.
By the 30,000th year ago, the goblin technology civilization, the human magic civilization, and the elven civilization began to appear, and they recreated their glory on the ruins of Resnard, until the era of 10,600 years ago, the entire Enzes continent entered the era of the Erathian Empire.
This is the history of Resnard, Xiao Ling originally thought that this was just a background, according to other players, there are indeed many ruins of Resnard in the Enzes Continent, and many people have obtained a lot of strange and incompelled things in the ruins, but I didn't expect that I really encountered the lost civilization of Resnard.
From the underground of the Holy Light City, the Lost City of Ancient Reynard was discovered, and if this matter was told by Xiao Ling, it would inevitably cause a huge sensation.
Xiao Ling looked at this magnificent city in amazement, sighing at the former glory of this civilization, just the architectural art of the city, the Holy Light City was too far behind the Resnader.
From the layout of the Holy Light City, the shadow of Resnard can be vaguely seen, and it seems that the Holy Light City is made from the template of this lost city.
How many people know about the existence of this Lost City, and what is it used for now?
Xiao Ling walked forward with a full stomach full of doubts, and in order to avoid encountering danger, Xiao Ling summoned the mechanical gargoyle and the titan giant Ente and the black snake.
"Hiss, smack,." An angry roar came from the edge of the rock not far from Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling didn't understand the meaning of this cry at all, and looked over there, there was a small black dwarf standing on the edge of the rock, only Xiao Ling's waist height, holding a curved long knife in his hand, and the red light in his eyes stared at Xiao Ling.
When Xiao Ling saw the appearance of the little dwarf clearly, he was stunned for a moment, the little dwarf was clearly an undead, he had a skeletal face, his eyes were deeply sunken, and two red rays flashed in between.
Nader Undead: Twenty-level monsters.
Just an extremely ordinary monster? It seems that this Nadian is the same people who created the Lost City of Resnard, who became undead when they died.
This short undead didn't know what fear was at all, and he didn't care if Xiao Ling's strength was much higher than it, so he pounced on Xiao Ling with a grunt, the lower the monster level, the lower the IQ, this sentence is not wrong at all.
The total blood volume of this Nader undead is more than 3,000 yuan, Xiao Ling shot a shadow arrow over, and landed on the body of the Nadian undead, bang, the Nader undead screamed, the blood volume bottomed out, and hung on the ground.
Xiao Ling is already almost level fifty, and it couldn't be easier to kill a level twenty ordinary monster.
Xiao Ling didn't expect these Nadian undead to burst out anything good for herself, so she walked next to the Nadian undead and found that under the corpse of the Nadian undead, something was shining with a faint blue light.
Xiao Ling was very puzzled, looking at this light, could it be a gem? Xiao Ling bent down and picked it up.
It is an irregular blue object, like a light blue jade.
Level 2 Soul Shards: Special items.
Xiao Ling remembered that there was also a soul fragment in his personal warehouse, which was exploded when he killed the ghoul Oslink, the level was level 1, Xiao Ling still didn't know what this soul fragment was for, but he didn't expect another one to burst out here, no matter what the use was, put it away first, Xiao Ling thought, and put this soul fragment into the package.
Hissing, there was a dense sound in the distance, Xiao Ling looked into the distance, and there were hundreds of Nadian undead in a small group rushing towards this side, they were probably attracted by the scream just now.
This kind of little monster, even if there are hundreds of them together, it is just to deliver food, Xiao Ling doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Those Nader undead quickly pounced, and Xiao Ling cast an air blast technique, killing a large number of people.
There was a system prompt sound, this sound was a little different from when he was upgraded, Xiao Ling glanced at the Titan Giant Ente's surname panel, Titan Ente was upgraded by one level, and the experience value reached 62% of the two levels.
The mechanical gargoyle's Ice Ring spell was also cast, keeping some of the Nader undead in the vicinity in place, and Xiao Ling cast attack spells such as Shadow Arrow and Searing Pain, killing one of them with each blow.
Titan Ente chanted a spell in his mouth, and a chain of lightning was cast, and Titan Ente cast a crowd attack magic much faster than Xiao Ling. The electric light of the chain lightning exploded into pieces of damage on the undead of the Nader, but the attack power of the titan Entre was a little weak, and these chain lightning could only cause more than seven hundred damage, but the paralyzing effect of the chain lightning was very obvious, and the undead of the Nader who were attacked all froze in place.
Xiao Ling cast another air explosion technique, and swept away a large number of Nader undead, only after a while, the ground was full of corpses, hundreds of undead creatures were all killed by Xiao Ling, after killing these Nadian undead, the level of Titan Giant Ente was upgraded to the third level, and the Titan Giant Ente upgrade is still quite fast, the early upgrade does not require much experience, and I don't know if it will be difficult to upgrade in the later stage.
Xiao Ling glanced at the ground nearby, there was a faint blue, white, and dark green light everywhere, and Xiao Ling picked up these gems. The white soul fragments are all first-class, the dark blue soul fragments are all second-level, and the dark green soul fragments are all third-level.
Without Xiao Ling's instructions, the mechanical gargoyle didn't dare to pick up things on the ground, and just stood in place, but his eyes were rolling slightly, and his gaze never left the soul fragment in Xiao Ling's hand.
"Do you know what this thing is for?" Xiao Ling asked at the mechanical gargoyle.
"Goo-goo-goo." The mechanical gargoyle nodded its little head and shook its head again.
Xiao Ling was stunned, did the mechanical gargoyles know or didn't know? Xiao Ling threw a third-level soul fragment to the mechanical gargoyle.
The mechanical gargoyle jumped high and grabbed the third-level soul fragment in the palm of his hand, extremely excited, but he didn't make any movement, his eyes sparkled and looked at Xiao Ling, as if he was begging Xiao Ling for this third-level soul fragment.
"Here you go." Xiao Ling said.
The mechanical gargoyle was allowed to rejoice, his snow-white teeth were exposed, and he ate the soul fragment in it, stretched his neck, and swallowed the soul fragment vigorously, and after a while, the soul fragment was finally swallowed by the mechanical gargoyle in its entirety.
Xiao Ling didn't expect the mechanical gargoyle to eat this soul fragment, Xiao Ling had never seen a mechanical gargoyle eat, so he was a little dazed for a while, and looked at these soul fragments in his hand, could this thing still be eaten?
Xiao Ling counted it, and he had harvested more than thirty soul fragments in total, which was really a lot.
I don't know what the effect of the soul fragment is, Xiao Ling glanced at the surname of the mechanical gargoyle, and found that the spiritual power of the mechanical gargoyle has actually increased a little, although it is only a little, but it makes Xiao Ling excited inexplicably, could this soul fragment enhance the surname of the mechanical gargoyle?
To Xiao Ling, this thing is just some chicken ribs, and he doesn't know what the use is, since the mechanical gargoyles can be used, they can simply give it all to the mechanical gargoyles.
"Do you want it?" Xiao Ling took a piece of soul fragment and asked the titan giant Ente.
"I don't need to, my Titan Heart is God-given, so soul fragments are of little use to me." Titan Ente replied, looking at the mechanical gargoyle, "Its main body was originally some magical elements, but after getting along with the master for a long time, these magical elements will transform into souls and grow with the growth of the master, so soul fragments are very useful to it and can enhance its soul." ”
No wonder when he killed the ghoul Oslink and burst out the soul fragment, the mechanical gargoyle did not react, the soul fragment was of no use to it at all, but now it is different, the soul fragment can enhance its caste, and it will beg Xiao Ling.
"Do you know what else soul shards can do?" Xiao Ling asked.
Titan Entre shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can only sense the soul energy contained in that thing, but I don't know what this thing is for." ”
Xiao Ling patted her head, how could she forget it? Xiao Ling swirled the Demon God Ring on his finger, and a figure suddenly appeared beside Xiao Ling.
"Master, what do you want me to do?" Demon Carlos asked.
"Ask you something, what is this thing for?" Xiao Ling pinched a second-level soul fragment with his fingers and asked.
Demon Carlos saw this dark blue object in Xiao Ling's palm, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, this is a soul fragment, an item left over from the Resnard civilization, it is said that in ancient times, the Nader people were some creatures with amazing wisdom, each of them was a powerful soul cultivator, and after they died, a soul fragment would be produced, and the stronger the soul cultivator, the higher the level of the soul fragment generated after death, absorbing the soul fragment produced by the predecessors after death, It is said that in ancient times, the power of the Nader made the gods fearful, so they joined forces to send down divine punishment and destroy Resnard. ”
Hearing the words of the demon Carlos, Xiao Ling felt a lot, but he didn't expect that the demise of Resnard was actually just because of this soul fragment.
In this world, there is no absolute fairness, only absolute strength. You can't expect the strong to give you justice, because they decide your life and death, and even the gods who are ostensibly fair, because the Nader have the power to make them fearful, will not hesitate to destroy them.
After going through so many life and death tribulations and seeing all kinds of NPCs, Xiao Ling understood a lot, and knew much more about the Enzes Continent than those ordinary players, and gradually formed his own way of survival.
"Then can I absorb the energy from these soul fragments?" Xiao Ling asked, if he could absorb the energy on these soul fragments, wouldn't he mean that he could use these soul fragments to enhance his own strength?
"Yes, it's just that there is only one at most, because there is still the residual consciousness of the Nader people on the soul fragments, and when their residual consciousness finds itself devoured by the souls of other species, it will have a certain backlash, and if the absorbed soul power is too strong, it is likely to have the opposite effect." Demon Carlos said.
"What about mechanical gargoyles? It had devoured a third-level soul fragment. Xiao Ling said.
"It's different from a creature, I don't know very well, it stands to reason that the soul of the mechanical gargoyle is very weak, the soul energy contained in the third-level soul fragment just now is enough to devour its soul, but it doesn't have any reaction, the soul is strengthening instead, I can feel that the energy on that soul fragment has been completely swallowed by it, it can eat another soul fragment, but the level is best not to exceed the third level, since it can devour the third-level soul fragment, the soul fragments within the third-level should be safe for it." Demon Carlos said.
Perhaps devouring the soul fragments caused the mechanical gargoyle to have some mutations, and it seems that the future feeding of the mechanical gargoyle soul fragments will only be carried out under the supervision of the demon Carlos.
"Should I absorb a soul fragment then?" Xiao Ling picked up a third-level soul fragment and asked.
"Since you can only absorb the soul energy on one soul fragment, my suggestion is that it is best to find some high-level soul fragments and absorb them." Demon Carlos replied.
Demon Carlos's words made a lot of sense, Xiao Ling glanced at the Lost City in the distance, such a huge city, there must be many Nadian undead, it shouldn't be difficult to find a higher-level soul fragment.
Xiao Ling was about to take the demon Carlos back from the Demon God Ring, when the demon Carlos suddenly remembered something and said: "This soul fragment can only be used by professions such as mages and warlocks, not warriors, their spiritual power is too weak." ”
"Anything else?" Xiao Ling asked.
"Nope." Demon Carlos shook his head and said.
Xiao Ling took the demon Carlos back, now that he knows the use of soul fragments, he might as well collect more, save them first, and then find soul fragments after leaving here, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Xiao Ling remembered one thing, why was there a tunnel leading to here in Antonic's mansion, and what did he want to do here? Is it also to collect soul fragments? It's a mystery.
Xiao Ling flew up with the mechanical gargoyle, and the mechanical gargoyle looked down from the sky, and could clearly see where the Nader undead gathered nearby, and Xiao Ling took the Titan Entre to approach that side.
This is a clearing with a small tent in the center, and hundreds of Nader undead are gathered nearby, the level is twenty-five, Xiao Ling finds that the closer to the Lost City, the higher the level of Nader undead.
Xiao Ling chose a suitable position, gave the order to the titan Ent, the mechanical gargoyle, and then chanted the spell of hellfire.
The surrounding fire elementals and dark elements quickly condensed, and the violent and raging elemental energy fluctuations made the undead of the Nader panic, they searched everywhere, and finally found Xiao Ling in the hidden place, and a group of Nadian undead rushed towards Xiao Ling.
Ice Ring!
The mechanical gargoyle cast an ice ring spell, freezing the Nadian undead who pounced on the approach, and the Titan Giant kept attacking these Nadian undead with Titan Arrows, the Titan Arrow is a very powerful thunderbolt magic, the thunder arrow that transforms the thunder magic element into a physical thunder arrow to attack the opponent, the Titan Arrow cast by the third-level Titan Giant can cause nearly two thousand magic attack damage, and the Titan Arrow can also cause a certain stiffening effect, so that the attack target freezes in place.
When the Nadian undead pounced on the Titan Ente, the Titangiant Ente swung his great sword to attack the Nadian undead, and its melee combat ability was no less impressive.
In the description of the goblin literature, the strongest Titan is not inferior to the Angel, and it has more long-range attack ability than the Angel, and a level 60 improved Titan Giant can completely PK an angel of the same level, and I don't know when my Titan Giant will grow to that point, Xiao Ling thought.
Hellfire!
Clusters of black flames rose from the ground, enveloping all the Nadian spirits around them, and the Nadian spirits screamed sharply in the hellfire, and one by one fell to the ground. The level of these Nader undead is very low, and Xiao Ling gets very little experience points, but for a third-level Titan Giant, the experience points are very high.
After killing these level twenty-five Nader undead, the titan was promoted by two levels, to level five, and the various castes were also greatly improved.
Xiao Ling cleaned up the soul fragments that had exploded on the ground, and continued to walk towards the Lost City in the distance with the mechanical gargoyle and the Titan Giant.
