Chapter 447: Inside the Ruins
The Demon Ruins are nestled deep in the jungle, surrounded by ancient trees and plants.
But one thing is strange, no matter how lush the plants, do not appear inside the demonic ruins, only grow outside the ruins.
This has remained unchanged even though the Demon Ruins have been abandoned for tens of thousands of years. The ruins seem to be permeated with an indescribable power that has always protected the ruins through the passage of time. Although most of the buildings in the ruins have collapsed, they have not been buried by the grass.
"Legend has it that this ruin was built tens of thousands of years ago by a demon king who almost broke through to the level of the demon god, and finally the demon king died here. He died with a mysterious power that never dissipated, guarding the ruins. ”
Before entering the ruins, Leo explained to the people the ancient secrets of the demonic ruins:
"So although this ruin was secretly built into a teleportation rest area by our border smugglers, in fact, strange things continue to happen in this rest area, and all kinds of unexplained events will occur from time to time, some people say that once in this rest area, they have seen ancient demons infested, and there are strong people of the third and fourth orders, wisps died violently here, there is no scar on the body, but the heart has been taken away by someone in the air"
Seeing that Shansu and the other young people were frightened, Leo laughed.
The journey is boring, and training these newcomers has become a bad taste for experienced people like Leo.
Leo was tired of scaring the newcomers, and continued: "When this ruin was first discovered, many people came to look for the relics and corpses of the Demon King, but unfortunately, without exception, all those who wanted to dig up the ruins and find the relics died tragically and miserably. Death without exception, all of them have no scars on the body, but the heart disappears, which is called a horror. Many peerless powerhouses came here to investigate, but they couldn't figure out the real reason. ”
Fang Di sighed in his heart, and in desperation, he had to follow the newcomers around him. Let's 'lose color' together, otherwise if you are too calm, it will be a little inconsistent with the newcomer identity you play, right?
The group officially entered the demonic ruins as they spoke.
From a distance, you can only see some of the dilapidated walls and stone pillars in the ruins, even higher than the ancient trees that rushed into the sky nearby. Although the ruins are broken, they are still majestic.
When you really enter the ruins, you will find that although this place is deserted, there is really a mysterious power left in it, even though time has passed. There is still not a single plant that grows inside the ruins, and the entire ruins are unusually neat. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, many buildings have long been in ruins, and they are full of mottled years.
The entire ruins occupy a magnificent area, like a giant city, but it is as quiet as death, silent.
Fang Di and the others walked through the countless collapsed boulders and buildings in the ruins, a team of nearly 100 people plus riding beasts. Always quietly, into the ruins. The crowd fell silent for some reason.
Fang Di had a strong curiosity about similar ruins, and turned his head to look around, looking at the collapsed giant pillars in the ruins, the dilapidated palaces, and even some strange symbols on the rubble. You can watch it with relish.
It's a pity that this ruin has been searched countless times by countless explorers for millions of years, and it is impossible to say that there are any heavy treasures to be found in the ruins now, so Fang Di has no means. Exploring this site in detail is purely a leisurely viewing experience.
Strangely, not only were there not a single plant in the ruins, not even any of the animals in the jungle had entered it, and all the animals and plants seemed to have an inexplicable fear of this demonic ruin, and none of them approached.
The people of the Nightkin have been in and out of this site many times, and they know the way well, the destination is clear, and they go very fast.
The team went deep in the ruins for two hours, and finally came to a small square and stopped, and Jiu Mulian, who was walking in front of the team, personally jumped off her riding beast, her body was light, and her long hair jumped off to a huge stone pillar that had been broken, and pushed the stone pillar with all her strength.
Suddenly, the entire stone pillar vibrated and made a slight sliding sound of the machine buckle.
The ground in front of everyone's eyes slowly parted to both sides, revealing a stone staircase that was hundreds of feet wide and unusually flat, leading to the depths of the ground.
"There are four entrances in this ruin, and they all need to be personally pushed by someone with a strength of the third order or above before they can be opened, and they can go straight to the underground castle that is said to have been built by the Demon King. Now, of course, this underground castle has been occupied by our border smugglers, and has been built into a rest area. ”
As the team descended the stairs, Leo gushed out:
"The entrances to the Demon Castle are controlled by the four leading smuggling forces on our border. The entrance we entered, near the northern end of the ruins, is still controlled by the people of the Bat Army, and the entrances in the other three directions are occupied by the 'Robbers', 'Demon House', and 'Evil Mages'. ”
These are all powerful smuggling forces on the border, which are significantly stronger than medium-sized forces such as the Night Walker.
As they spoke, everyone continued to go deeper and deeper down the stairs until they reached the end of the stairs.
There were two groups of about twenty members of the Bat Army, standing in a neat formation in an underground hall at the end of the stairs.
The leader of the Bat Army, who was led by a middle-aged man, saw everyone coming down, and with a cold face, he exchanged a few words with Luck and Jiu Mulian, and after charging the fee for entering the ruins, he let the nightcrawler team continue to walk deeper along the underground passage.
Fang Di looked around as he walked forward, but saw that the passage was extremely spacious, and it was not as dark and damp as he imagined the underground building, not only as bright as day, but also clean and ventilated, and there was no discomfort in walking in it.
On the top wall of the passage, there are countless symbols engraved, like stars twinkling in the sky.
It is these symbols that make the passage bright.
"These symbols are a special language of the demon clan, and legend has it that they contain the secrets of the practice of the demon king who built this ruin, so if anyone has studied the demon language, they may want to see if they can see anything in these words. ”
This time, it was Jiu Mulian who spoke with a beautiful and pleasant voice.
Luck seems to have changed recently, and his attitude towards the people in the team has changed, and he has changed his previous arrogance, and then said with a smile: "The underground part of the ruins is relatively well preserved, and there are many things that are very interesting, so you might as well pay more attention." There may be a windfall. ”
Fang Di glanced at Luck, something was wrong with this thing. He has intentions for Jiu Mulian, and it is understandable that he has nothing to do, but with his arrogant character with no spare sons, how could he become so kind and go all the way. In his spare time, he even took the initiative to teach some people in the team about his cultivation experience. A person's character is predestined, and if it is so abnormal, this thing is not quite right.
Soon after, the whole team came to the end of the underground passage.
"Ahh
Several newcomers to the team, such as Zensu and the like, blurted out surprised sounds.
The sight at the end of this passage was indeed very surprising, and at the end of the passage was actually a huge underground abyss.
The extent of this underground abyss is as large as if there is no boundary, and the exit of the passage is on the side wall of the underground abyss, with a long bridge. It is connected to a huge castle with an area of 100 miles. The castle was suspended in the middle of the bottomless underground abyss, and the black gas around it was churning, and it looked very thrilling, as if it could fall into the bottomless abyss at any time.
The castle suspended in the middle of the abyss is ancient green, looking a little creepy, like a cemetery, but the weather is majestic, and the buildings in the castle are interspersed. The ups and downs, the rows are stacked one after another. There are no less than 1,000 of them, and it is like an underground city.
This scene was obviously unexpected by the newcomers in the team, and everyone was surprised at first sight.
When the people walked up to the long bridge that connected to the castle, they looked under the bridge, but they saw that the abyss was so vast that the bottom could not be seen at all.
"Demon ruins on the ground. In fact, it is built on top of this abyss, like a cover, hiding the abyss underground. ”
Luck's voice sounded again, answering the relevant deeds of the abyss for everyone:
"The abyss here is thousands of miles deep, leading to the center of the earth. An onmyoji who is proficient in cosmic techniques has explored and said that this demonic abyss is the place where this star returns to ruins, and the intersection of all evil qi. The remains of the dead Demon King were probably buried in the connected magma at the center of the earth under the abyss, but unfortunately no one could find it. The interior of this underground demon castle was also emptied by treasure hunters back then, and if it weren't for the fact that the castle itself was connected to the abyss qi machine and couldn't be moved, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a single brick or tile left. ”
As Luck spoke, the crowd chuckled.
The whole team arrived at the gate of the castle not long after, and there were still people from the Bats on duty here, and after paying the fee, Fang Di and their team were able to officially enter the demon dungeon.
The buildings in the city are old, the material is unknown, like stone not stone, like gold not gold, everywhere is permeated with a dark green color, which is a little scary.
The flow of people in the city is sparse, after all, this is only a hidden place known to smugglers, and the number of people is naturally limited.
Surprisingly, the facilities in the dungeon here are quite complete, and there are shops selling various supplies.
The team of Nightkin soon found a place to stay in the city, still old friends, familiar with each other, and settled directly in it after they came.
Jiu Mulian personally summoned everyone, her starry eyes sparkled, and she said with a smile: "This is the last rest area before entering the Shadow Domination Area, let's rest here for one night, and we will officially enter the Shadow Control Area when we set off tomorrow." Today, everyone can dismiss the event, and it should be noted that it is best for the newcomer to go out with the old man and take care of each other. After all, this is Castlevania, and some weird things often happen, so it's better to be careful. ”
As soon as Jiu Mulian spoke, many people looked at each other with happy expressions. Immediately, they went out for a stroll with curiosity about the city.
Fang Di and Shansu and the other four newcomers were in the same resting room, and he was not in a hurry to go out, but returned to the room first, crossed his knees and used the strength in his body, and carried out a routine that remained unchanged, and he had never abandoned a day of evening practice since his practice. When the power in the body runs for a week, Fang Di's whole body is clear, and the body and body are bright, flawless and unblemished.
His spiritual power is like a quiet lake, fitting the heavens and the universe, reflecting the mysteries of heaven and earth.
In this wonderful state of tranquility and emptiness, Fang Di's spirit is omnipresent in comprehending everything in heaven and earth.
Suddenly, his all-encompassing spiritual power caught Luck's qi machine. He was walking alone out of his resting room, into a street in the underground castle, and with some direction, he walked somewhere.
Fang Di's heart moved slightly, and he quietly sacrificed the void qi that had been transformed by the underworld armor and followed behind Luck.
At the same time, Fang Di himself also opened his eyes, got up and went outside.
