Chapter 121: The Underworld
It is a huge pit with a diameter of more than three hundred meters.
However, due to the special formation of obsidian, this bottomless sinkhole cannot be directly bombarded by magicians with magical power. Therefore, Xia Wushuang and Hong San can still see the real traces of the layers of knives and axes on the pit wall.
Underneath the pit, the silence is terrifying. Xia Wushuang's ears could even clearly hear the sound of air flowing.
Without saying a word, they continued to descend for thousands of kilometers before they reached the bottom of the sinkhole. This made Xia Wushuang have to be surprised, how many gods and demons died in this huge mine to form such a large vein.
However, No. 7's next sentence directly knocked him down: "Do you think that the body of every god and demon is as big as a human being?" ”
Xia Wushuang could only smile, conventional thinking was really harmful.
However, the vein is a little too large. I don't know what kind of terrifying existence the god of death was like a mountain.
Unfortunately, everything is in the past, and this obsidian vein that once broke the heads of the gods is now completely in ruins, and there will certainly be no more rare treasures left.
Smack! Xiao Liuli scurried out from under Hongsan's feet, and scattered a pile of gray and dry skeletons nearby.
Xia Wushuang, who heard the sound, scolded Liuli back to his side. But he lifted his steps and slowly walked to the obviously non-human corpse.
He is large in size and has conspicuous horns on his skull. This is supposed to be the bones of a dead body that lasted nearly a hundred years. Because a little further in time, under the erosion of the magic spring, it is impossible for such a complete corpse to remain.
Xia Wushuang picked up a small bag next to the bones. But the bag was sewn from some fur and shattered at the slightest touch, revealing only a few small black stones the size of rice, and a pile of blue dust crystals that had gradually shrunk due to the passage of energy.
"Luckily, you picked up obsidian." Although Seven said this, he did not mean to be happy at all. The reason is simple, just this pitiful amount. It's better to dig up scrap ore and try your luck.
But Xia Wushuang didn't think so. He carefully played with the few rice-shaped obsidian stones in his hand for a while, silently feeling their unique energy fluctuations; The discovery is just as the Seven said. Obsidian has a mysterious power that can be corrected and quenched in an instant with the slightest contact with magic, making it even more refined.
What a fantastic baby. Xia Wushuang silently praised and talked. The corners of the eyes move slightly. Glancing at the red beside him.
I saw that Hong San was squatting next to the bones of the otherworldly creature at this moment, and pulled out a green bottle from those gray bones with his hand.
"It's still red wine, it seems that the owner here likes this sweet thing very much." Hongsan wiped her fingers around the mouth of the bottle, and when she withdrew her hand, her fingertips were full of faint grape red.
"The god of wine in the Greek god line - Dionysus. This was once his domain. Xia Wushuang looked at Hong San with a confused look, so he opened his mouth to explain to her.
"God's territory?" Hongsan was taken aback. I can't believe it.
"He's probably dead, though." Xia Wushuang put it away in his broken pocket. The only remaining dust crystals continued to march deeper into the tunnel.
It is now the bottom of the pit. But the huge pit is so large that the wide tunnel below is ten times larger than the subway tunnel that runs through the mountain, and whether you look up or look around, it gives people an incomparably spacious and atmospheric feeling.
But it was such a wide tunnel, Hong San accompanied Xia Wushuang for half an hour, and still didn't see the end of the tunnel, this former divine mine, it was like it was able to lead to the abyss, and there was no day when it was finished.
"According to this calculation, this god who is drowned in the dust, when he is alive, is at least a giant god with a length of 10,000 meters. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary god's body to occupy such a long mine passage. ”
Soon, the bones that Xia Wushuang saw on both sides of the tunnel gradually increased. They're no longer just sheep-headed people with pickaxes in their hands, but also minotaurs, kobolds, horned demons, and even some creatures that appear to be humans.
Whoa!
Xia Wushuang faintly heard the sound of water coming from the underground dark river.
This forced him to start moving in the direction from which the sound came from, until he saw an undercurrent surrounded by rocks like a moat beside the tunnel, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was like the small canal that the sheep-headed miners used to deliver the ore, and the metal barrels floating on the dark river, some of them were green, and most of them had been eroded.
However, it always felt like something was wrong. Xia Wushuang glanced around the small canal, and then the pulse and direction of the entire underground mine gradually appeared in his mind, and then connected with this dark river......
Suddenly, Xia Wushuang's eyes lit up, and his eyes burst out with a terrifying aura.
"Old Seven, do you know this rune element?" Xia Wushuang's consciousness cut into his soul and drew a twisted rune in front of No. 7 that was not too complicated.
"......" saw the golden rune, and No. 7's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until a long time later that he came back to his senses and said with a solemn face: "This is not a rune element, but a simplified sealing rune, although it erases the edges and corners of some rune elements, but starting from some places, you can still see the traces of several rune elements being put together with each other." ”
"Runic elements can also be cut?" Xia Wushuang only knew that each rune element was a special whole.
"If you become a god, then of course you can." No. Seven interrupted Xia Wushuang's unrealistic thoughts, pointed to the sealing rune in front of him and said to him, "This is a combination array similar to the Origin Seal, and it is likely to be the core of the entire mine to suppress the aura of gods and demons. ”
"Suppress the aura of gods and demons?" Xia Wushuang was taken aback.
"That's right, even though those gods are dead, their remaining essence may still exist. These breaths are said to be able to transform into invisible demons and curse all creatures that enter the mine...... If it is not suppressed, those miners will simply die if they touch it, and there is no possibility of luck. ”
Hearing this, Xia Wushuang's face turned blue, and he said coldly: "Seventh Master, don't you tell ghost stories?" ”
"Don't worry, this kind of invisible god and demon aura that can kill people will slowly decline with the gradual development of the divine mine. I don't know how long this divine mine has been abandoned, and the obsidian may have been emptied long ago, even if you pull out the sealing hub that suppresses the aura of gods and demons, these evil aura that has lost its body will no longer have the ability to kill people invisibly. ”
"Is that so?" Xia Wushuang didn't dare to believe No. Seven's words too much, he cut out of his soul state, followed the guidance of the sealing rune, and came to the center of the circular tunnel, in front of a huge stone pillar.
"What is this?" Hong San stared at the huge pillar in front of him, which was nearly 100 meters long and wide, and was covered with traces of knives and axes, and couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
"The core of a rune array." Xia Wushuang pointed to the dark river spring that flowed out from the four directions of the stone pillar, and opened his mouth and said: "If there is no miscalculation, along this dark river to the Lu, there should be a small world in it." ”
"How do you get in?"
Whoa! The underground canal suddenly tumbled a few times, and then the wind began to rise in the tunnel, and a large amount of fine and pure magic continued to pour out from the rock walls full of nicks on all sides, and gradually merged together, forming a distressing magic fountain that rushed towards the world outside the sinkhole.
Then, the dark river was calm again, and everything was like a tunnel that needed to be ventilated at regular intervals, and the cycle continued.
"There's something wrong with the water." Xia Wushuang pointed his finger into the dark river, only to see a little green flame suddenly ignite on his finger, and the fire began to spread fiercely from his fingertips to the dark, and then in the blink of an eye, it burned his entire palm.
However, this kind of vicious cold flame could not cause any substantial harm to Xia Wushuang, who possessed the Blue Flame. I saw that he shook his palm slightly, and like a person who had nothing to do, he completely shook off the layer of cyan cold flame that stuck to his palm.
"I'll go in and have a look, you guys be careful, wait for me outside." This time, Xia Wushuang jumped into the dark river, and then slapped the cyan water splash and swam towards the stone pillar. (To be continued......)
