Chapter 22: The Last Resort

Walking slowly out of the woods, the vision suddenly widened, and Twilight Star was shocked by the scene before him, a huge embankment built on a high mountain, and the sound of rolling water was like thunder, rushing down like the Milky Way, merging into the rapids, flowing down the mountain, and finally branching off into countless tributaries that flowed throughout the island.

Twilight stared at the huge levee and couldn't believe her eyes, there was someone on this island? Not only people but also such magnificent buildings, how much effort it must have taken to build such a dam on an island with no signs of civilization, and where did it come from, and where did it come from? Did the people who built the levee live deep in the mountains?

Confused, Twilight climbed up the embankment from a nearby hillside, and when he got up, he realized how vast the dam was, a huge reservoir built on a hill, with a deep blue lake rippling in the breeze, and there was no end to the other side as far as the eye could see.

"What's going on? Who can afford to build such a project? Standing on the shore of the reservoir and looking at the vast deep blue water, Twilight suddenly felt a hint of fear and nervousness in her heart.

Twilight's expression panicked, and her body involuntarily took a few steps back, and as she moved away from the shore, the emotions that suddenly appeared in Twilight's heart seemed to disappear suddenly, as if they had never appeared.

Twilight was a little puzzled and puzzled, why did she suddenly have such emotions? However, looking at the deep blue lake as far as the eye can see, Twilight Star decided to believe in his own feelings, perception has never deceived him, maybe there is really some terrifying danger in this, but when he first saw the deep sea beast on the beach, he didn't have such emotions.

Shaking off the many distractions in his mind, Twilight stood on the far shore and looked around, the first thing he looked at was the reservoir, which Twilight had found. It was a huge water bottle standing upright in the center of the reservoir, and the mouth of the water bottle was constantly bubbling out, and there was a waterfall, but this was a circular waterfall, and the whole water bottle was wrapped in it, because of the transparency of these water curtains, the twilight star could clearly see the water bottle in it. The material of this water bottle seems to be very special, unprecedented, it is pure black, there are green lines on it, evenly and regularly covering the entire appearance of the water bottle, and the green lines are still flashing faintly fluorescent, at a glance it seems to give Twilight a kind of technological beauty.

It's a technological artifact, and Twilight thinks so surely that the beauty of technology and magic are very different, and although they both have a sense of beauty, the difference in style makes it easy to see at a glance.

This giant water bottle is a technological object, and it is still spewing water outwards to replenish the water flowing from this reservoir, but it can never be out of thin air, so the real secret should be under this reservoir.

At a chance glance, Twilight Star seemed to see a huge shadow swimming under the deep blue water, but when he tried to look closely, it disappeared again, as if it had never appeared, and the color of the lake was too dark to see the scene below.

"Is this the thing that scares my senses?" Looking at the place where the shadow disappeared, Twilight Star was shocked to think that as for the secret under the reservoir, let it die, so that she would not go to death knowing the danger, and Twilight quickly gave up the idea of going down to explore the mystery and continued to look for something valuable.

Twilight walked around the reservoir and finally found a building on the west side of the reservoir, the location of the dam that Twilight climbed up was east, and it can be said that the reservoir is the center of the dam, so what is the significance of this building?

With this in mind, Twilight slowly approached the building, the building is not large, that is, about twenty meters long and wide, and thirty meters high, this is a square building, and the architectural style is completely different from the water bottle, the water bottle is a super technological fantasy, and this building gives Twilight the feeling of an ancient feudal or religious style of architecture.

There were strange beast statues on the left and right sides of the direction corresponding to the reservoir, one of which was the same as the deep-sea beast that Twilight had seen on the beach, and the other was also an aquatic beast, but Twilight had never seen it at all.

In the middle of the two statues is a layer of stairs, the stairs lead to the top of the building, by the way, corresponding to the stairs there is also a long building close to the reservoir, this elongated building is like a cistern like a convex quadrangle, the middle is concave, but there is no water outlet, one end is facing the staircase, the other end is facing the reservoir, very neat and symmetrical, it looks very comfortable, it is simply the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder, if the two statues can be the same, it would be better.

Twilight looked at these things carefully with a puzzled look on his face and shook his head helplessly, he didn't have anything to gain but to see if he could get something on the stairs.

Twilight ascended the stairs step by step, to the top of the building, and the layout was simpler, there was only one platform, and there was nothing on it, but Twilight found some traces of mechanisms on it, as if there was something to rise up in the middle of the platform, and other than that, there was only the ripple-like pattern on the ground around it.

After a long search to no avail, Twilight Star decided to violently demolish it, summoned a wide blade and a long straight knife, and held the handle of the knife with both hands to slash down on the platform in front of him, "Ding~~" After a sound, Twilight Star's hands holding the knife continued to tremble, but the platform seemed to have nothing at all, not even a white mark.

"It can't be!"

Twilight looked surprised, looked at the unscathed stone platform with a surprised look, and raised the long knife again without believing in evil, and continued to pour magic into the knife, the long knife originally composed of pure light elements became even more dazzling, the pure white light continued to shine, and the surrounding air seemed to begin to distort in this strong light, and Twilight Star slashed down again.

"Ding~~~" sparks flew everywhere, the sound of gold and stone continued to echo, and Twilight Star was shaken back again and again by the violent anti-shock force, the tiger's mouth hurt, and the hands holding the long knife were about to go numb.

"How can this be, D-class weapons, plus most of my magic power, don't even have a mark? Is my strength too weak, or is the material of this thing B-grade at all? After standing firm, Twilight star's jaw dropped in disbelief as he looked at the stone platform that had withstood his full slash but was still intact, even if it was because his current strength was not enough to exert the power of the weapon, but it was not at all undamaged.

There is only one last trick left, and that is ............

Twilight stepped forward with a dark face, placing her hands on the stone platform, concentrating on the magic of the ring in her hand, and controlling the power of the ring to devour the stone platform. The effect is there, Twilight can clearly feel that the power of light in the ring seems to be constantly decomposing and eroding this stone platform, and turning its power into its own use, but the speed is too slow, too slow, according to this speed, it is estimated that the survival tasks issued by the main god have been completed, and it is impossible to say whether this stone platform has been eroded by half.

"It turns out that using this pair of rings to devour various materials evolves itself, is it so slow? Or is it because my magic is too weak, so it's slow? Anyway, I don't think about how to swallow someone else's weapon in a battle at this speed, and the idea of destroying this stone with this pair of rings is almost abandoned, and I don't have time to spend it here. Twilight, who was infusing the ring with magic, thought to herself.

"It doesn't seem possible to use a bow and arrow to break through this stone in a point-breaking way, after all, I've used a long knife to hit with all my strength before, and a limited bow and arrow that is stronger than a long knife doesn't seem to be able to do anything. As it stands, it seems that part of the planet's secrets are hidden in this stone, so how can I unlock it? Twilight folded his head and frowned, pondering for a question that was too much trouble for him, especially without any hints and no clue at all.
