With a loud "boom", a scorching flame erupted, engulfing the entire pit in an instant.

......

Thousands of miles away, on the other side of the continent.

Underground.

As in the past, the dim and oppressive space, the rock walls twisted like the rhizomes of giant trees.

The sleeping blue fluorescent clouds slowly emerged, merging into an old face. Slowly open your eyes.

A large, three-dimensional image of blue fluorescence appeared in front of him. It looks like a structural drawing of a rectangular subterranean building.

The image expands and finally freezes on the three figures on the edge.

The old man's face slowly widened his eyes and watched quietly.

......

"Ahem!ahem!" Jones coughed violently. Finally, the dust completely cleared. What appeared in front of me was a long pit in a semi-ruined state.

Dora, who was next to her, was coughing softly with her nose half-covered.

"This is the entrance!" Jones cheered.

You have to admit that sometimes the power of trees is the most terrifying. Walls that require dragons to break, trees can grow over thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years, and squeeze little by little until they crush it. The growing trees destroy the hard walls, and Jones eventually opens the way to the ruins by destroying the trees.

Through the newly opened road, the group began to grope inward little by little.

......

"Race verification. ”

"Two underage bloods, one adult lich. ”

"Identity?"

"Recognized the White Bone Holy Light Holy See Emblem and the Giant Snake City Emblem. Others are unknown. ”

"The power of heaven and hell has not been found within fifty kilometers of the surroundings. ”

The old man's face floated silently, staring at the every move of Jones and his party in the image. It doesn't seem like he's going to do anything about it.

The gaze moved slowly.

The three-dimensional structure also moved little by little with his gaze, and the ground part of the picture appeared.

The Wood Elf, who had been asked by Jones to return first, was still standing outside the tunnel and looking around. And not far from him, behind a big tree, Andrew and Turu were crouching cautiously.

......

"Master, they went in...... Shall we go in with us?" Turu asked in a low voice.

"Of course, but not now. Gotta wait for them to get a little farther away. Otherwise, we'll go in now, run into them directly, and that's the end of it. With that, Andrew took out a small bottle and poured two pills out. He swallowed one himself, and then handed the remaining one to Tulu: "Eat it." ”

Tulu obediently stretched out his hand to take it, and after swallowing it, he asked in a low voice, "Master, what is this?"

"A pill to suppress magic. Lichs are very scenic, and we have to be careful enough to act under their noses. ”

"But master, I don't have any magic powers. ”

"It's just that you can't feel it, there are still some of them. No matter how much I suppress it, I still have it. As long as it's close enough, the lich can still feel it. So I need to eat it too. With that, Andrew stared at the wood elf standing outside the pit from a distance: "You go around behind him, I attract his attention, and then you deal with him." ”

"Are you going to kill?"

"Don't kill, just stun. Use the medicine I gave you. ”

"Okay. ”

Creeping to his feet, Turu quietly began to circle behind the Wood Elf.

......

"Wood elves, blood elves, orcs. ”

The old face watched quietly.

......

Stepping over the cavern that had collapsed through the crushing of the roots, Jones opened his mouth slightly, emitting sound waves.

This time, what came to his mind was an extremely complex structural diagram. All kinds of paths go up and down, left, right, right, and it feels like it is woven from vines. Crucially, these passages seem to be endless. The picture that finally came to Jones's mind was not because it was only that big, but because Jones's perceptual range was only that large.

"Let's take a look over there first. Jones pointed in one of the directions and said, "It's closer to the mana source over there, and if there's anything important here, it's definitely close to the mana source." ”

That's not a reason. However, in the absence of any knowledge of this place, Jones seems to have to judge this way.

Holding the hyacinth, Jones and his party began to explore the endless underground world little by little.

In the beginning, it was a passage like an outer tunnel, eight meters wide and four meters high. It's a bit like the sewers of the Lion King's capital. The difference is that the stone bricks used here are all immune to magic.

After a while, Jones appeared in front of a huge space forty meters square. There are steps on all sides, and in the center is a dome supported by four large columns.

Walking to the center and looking in all directions, Jones saw one passage after another on the wall, large enough for a child like Jones to walk into. If it was Lucy's adult height, she would have to bend over. Other than that, there is nothing.

"What is this for? I don't understand. Jones's brow furrowed.

"Underground city?" Dora whispered.

"If it's a city, what are these pathways? They seem to be just pathways. ”

"Maybe it's ventilation? We need vents in our mines. ”

"It's a bit too big for ventilation. And it's all closed to the outside world, what kind of wind can it pass?"

"Could it be a large tomb?" Lucy whispered, "Some human lords like to build large tombs. ”

"Hmm...... Not like that. Jones hesitated and said, "The size of this ruin is at least fifty square kilometers. And that's just the plane. Now it seems, it is clear that there are many layers. In this case, it could be 500 square kilometers. What kind of lord can build such a large tomb?"

Jones let out another sound wave, then continued with the hyacinth in his hand.

I have to say that as a blood clan, it is still very convenient to explore such underground ruins. At least much more convenient than other races.

......

At the same time, Andrew and Turu finally entered the ruins.

Touching the stone bricks on the wall, Andrew softly called out the names of the stone bricks: "Forbidden Demon Stone." ”

"Forbidden Demon Stone?" Tulu asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

"One of the greatest inventions of the time of Krimatha, a thing that specialized in the restraint of magic. In fact, it is not only the forbidden magic stone, but also a series of other materials related to the 'forbidden demon'. Relying on these things, Krimasa has the upper hand in the wars with other races, and even in the wars with heaven and hell. Of course, if they can have magic to back it up. Without the support of their magic, they will collapse entirely. This is also the most important reason for the end of the Krisha era. With that, Andrew began to move forward cautiously, little by little. It was the exact opposite of what Jones had just taken.

Tulu lit the fire and followed cautiously behind: "Master, since these stones are so important, let's just move some back?"

"It's useless. This kind of thing has been around for a long time. No matter how much you research, you can't replicate it. As far as I know, there is a 'nuclear'. Only by obtaining that 'core' can you obtain the mystery of the core. ”

"So, our target is that 'nuclear'?"

Andrew paused, then turned his head and glanced at Tulu: "Young man, don't think too much. Our goal is to take what you want. God knows if there's a 'nucleus' here? Krimatha's secrets are gone. ”

Turu's eyes widened and he looked around.

......

Leaving the space just now, Jones went all the way forward, and entered a huge space again. Yes, huge.

It was pitch black, with only the hyacinth in Jones' hand as the only source of light. Although he couldn't see anything, Jones could clearly sense that his surroundings were very empty.

He opened his mouth slightly again to emit sound waves, and this time, what appeared in his mind was no longer the criss-crossing underground passages. Is it an underground city?

Exactly, Jones didn't know how to describe it.

It was as if he was in a city. Every building in the city is at least 10 stories tall. Because it's so dense, it's all huddled together. Jones was standing on the balcony on the tenth floor of one of the buildings. Overhead is the dome, the dome that connects all the roofs of the whole city, and holds the whole city together.

"Is this really an underground city?" Dora was stunned.

Jones didn't speak, he walked straight into a nearby room.

A small room, a two-room structure. When the feet are stepped on the ground, there is a "rustling" sound. There is nothing but "sand" in it.

Looking at it through the light of the hyacinth, Jones pointed to one of the piles of "sand" with some kind of outline and whispered, "This was supposed to be furniture." ”

"Furniture?" Dodo stretched her neck.

"Because it had been left for so long, it all rotted and turned into dust. ”

"Yes, I've had some things that I've been sitting on for too long, and they're going to be like this. Lucy said, spreading her hands.

"Aunt Lucy has been leaving things for tens of thousands of years?" Dora was shocked.

"Isn't that weird?" asked Lucy rhetorically.

After turning the whole house over, Jones quickly found some well-preserved metal objects from the "dust".

Among them are two pairs of well-preserved metal cutlery. The rest also look like accessories for some daily necessities.

It seems that this is really an underground city. At least it is certain that it was once inhabited during the time of Krimasha.

A few more rooms were walked, and basically the situation was pretty much the same. In 10,000 years, most of the materials have decayed, and all that remains is metal. Even the vast majority of metals have decayed to the point of decay.

"Let's continue to walk towards the source of the magic. Looking at Lucy, Jones said, "It's so big here, it's not easy to find something valuable." First, though, we can figure out what a magic source is. ”

Lucy looked to the side, paused, then pointed ahead and said, "The nearest magic source is over there." Maybe we can find a small one first. ”

"Okay, that's it. ”

In the direction Lucy pointed, Jones groped his way with the hyacinth little by little.

That source of magic was indeed the smallest in Lucy's perception. However, it is actually very normal. According to Lucy's perception, the largest source of magic should be located in the heart of this "underground city". The more peripheral the source of magic, the smaller it is. Jones's current location is still the periphery of the ruins.

After descending one flight of stairs and skirting two hallways, Jones and his party entered a room.

At a glance, whether it was Jones or Dora, or even Lucy, who was a powerful lich, they were all stunned.

It was a room about 10 meters long, wide and high.

By the faint light of the hyacinths, Jones could clearly see what appeared in front of them was a dangling, large eyeball. The diameter of the eyeball is about the length of Jones's height. It has two pupils, both the color of blood. Around the eyes, there are long tentacles, as slimy as octopuses. Unlike octopuses, these tentacles are more, thinner, and longer. Countless tentacles stretched out on all sides, sticking to the wall, holding up the dangling eyeballs.

At this moment, the eyeballs were blinking at Jones and his party standing in the doorway.

In Jones's magical vision, which was realized through Lucy, the so-called source of magic overlapped with the figure of the monster in front of him.

In an instant, Jones's goosebumps rose and he froze.

Frightened, Dora cautiously took a step back and covered her mouth.

Lucy, who had no sense of fear, took a step forward.

Huge eyeballs slowly descended from the sky, facing Lucy.

"Goo-goo, goo-goo?"

"Quack, quack?"

"Woo whoa, woo wow whoa?"

Lucy constantly makes all sorts of strange noises into her eyeballs.

"Aunt Lucy, what are you doing?" Jones was stunned.

"I'm trying to see if I can communicate with it in the language of beasts. Lucy replied back.

"Beast language?"

"It's the language of Warcraft. Not...... In fact, it may not be called language, after all, it can only express simple meanings. It's easy to learn, but what's worse is that there are a little too many types, about 20,000 kinds. ”

Jones kept breaking out in a cold sweat, and he was a little speechless: "So you plan to try more than 20,000 kinds of them?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to try one by one. I'll try more than 1,000 of the most commonly used ones. Quack, quack, quack. Smiling, Lucy turned back and continued to face the giant eyeball.

However, at this moment, the eyeball monster moved. Several tentacles swept towards Lucy at great speed.

With a "snap", Lucy's entire body, or rather skeleton, was swept away, leaving only the skull still hanging in place. The rest of the "accessories" were smashed against the wall, along with the robes, and they fell apart.

Jones and Dora were momentarily stunned.

It all happened so fast that neither of the Bloods could react.

In astonishment, Lucy's skull bowed slightly: "Huh, where is my body?"

"Run——! Jones screamed, pulled Dora, turned around and ran.

"What about Aunt Lucy?"

"Don't worry!

Behind him, all of the Eyeball's tentacles were stabbing towards Lucy, or rather towards Lucy's skull, at great speed.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
