Chapter 772: Entering the Underground Ruins
Although he sensed that this Dilaff was an extremely dangerous person, Leo did not have the idea of taking action to solve it, he felt that there was a chance to meet him through Reguir, after all, just a short conversation was not enough for him to find out the secret of the other party's evolution.
Sylvia left the garden villa at noon, accompanied by Frigila Vigo, and from Sylvia's look she seemed to have gotten what she wanted.
After retrieving their weapons from the knights, Sylvia and Leo did not return to the Knights' residence, but went to Frigila Vigo's residence in the town of Bockland, where Sylvia still had some things to discuss with Friengira, and Leo also needed to borrow the passage from Frimpilla's residence to enter the underground ruins.
Fringira has also explored the ruins of the Elven Kingdom underground, but she has not gone deeper, although the possible elven treasures are also attractive to her, but she is more rational and will definitely not risk her life for a little profit.
After arriving at Frigila's residence, Furengira led the two directly into her study on the first floor, and then did not shy away from the two, activated the mechanism, and opened the passage under a table.
They followed the three of them down to an empty basement where there was only one well, the mouth of which was covered by an iron plate, and several chains locked the iron plate.
Frigila summoned the key, removed the chain, and lifted the iron plate, revealing a hole straight down, and some downward ladders were placed on the wall of the hole, but now these ladders were damaged, and judging by the shape of the damage, they were not damaged by decay, but by man.
Leo didn't say much nonsense, took off all the armor and weapons of the Abyss Wanderer on his body, handed them to Sylvia, and then said a few words to Sylvia, and jumped directly into the hole, and the whole person fell down more than ten meters before landing.
Once on the ground, Leo shouted to them to close the entrance and exit again, and then walked towards their pre-planned place.
Although this place is buried underground, it does not mean that this place is very narrow, maybe it is full of powerful supernatural power when it is buried, or it may be because of its own special architectural structure, in short, the buried soil does not completely cover up these ruined buildings, and there are still a lot of passages to use here, some of these passages are the porches of previous buildings, some are the gaps of some collapsed houses, all in all, these passages are enough for a tall person like Leo to walk easily.
In addition, although this place is underground, it does not mean that nothing can be seen here, in fact, not only does a fluorescent thing grow here, but the stone used in these elf ruins also emits a faint fluorescence, which is not conspicuous in the case of moonlight, firelight and other light outside, but in the dark environment, it is extraordinarily bright, with Leo's eyesight only with fluorescence, without the help of any extraordinary power, you can easily see the surrounding things clearly.
Leo traveled very fast, and the target he chose was a hall that had not completely collapsed, and it was also the first place of camp that the explorers had chosen before, because from there there would be four separate roads, leading to four different places in the underground ruins, three of which had been thoroughly explored, and the end was a closed ruin, and from the information provided by Reguil, the ruins at the end of those three roads should have become the lair of the mutant blood.
Originally, if Dilaff hadn't appeared, Leo might have gone to the three ruins first to warm up with those mutant bloods, but now that he had promised Dilaff, he didn't need to do anything more, provided that the other party didn't come to trouble him first.
After walking through a passage between the ruins of a house for about ten minutes, Leo came to the hall.
After entering the hall, Leo didn't look at anything else, just looked up directly at the top of this hall, only to see that there were more than two dozen monsters with fleshy wings hanging upside down on this top, and these monsters also looked at Leo when he came in, just in line with Leo's gaze.
However, the two did not clash, and after glancing at Leo, the monsters retracted their heads into their wings and looked like they were asleep, with no intention of attacking Leo.
Leo could feel that the hearts of these monsters were full of bloodlust and violence, and when he looked at him, his eyes seemed to be examining his prey, and he almost fell directly from the sky and attacked Leo, but when these monsters were about to attack, they were stopped by an invisible force, and then they curled up with the desire to kill.
Now these monsters are not sleeping, they are all holding back their killing instincts.
Leo knew that these mutant bloods were probably controlled by Dilaf, which also confirmed his previous guess that Diralf did control these mutant bloods, and he had some kind of connection with these mutated bloods, so that he didn't need to directly contact these mutant bloods, and he could control them through his mind, and even see what these mutants saw in his eyes through this mental connection, otherwise, he would not have been able to find out that it was Leo in time and stopped the follow-up actions of the mutant blood.
Since those mutant blood clans didn't make a move, Leo naturally couldn't take action to kill them, and stepped into the hall.
At this time, Leo saw more than a dozen dried corpses lying in the corner of the hall, judging from the clothes of these dried corpses, they should have come from the civilian area of Bowclan, and it seemed that they should be the food captured by these mutant blood clans.
Leo didn't rush into the undiscovered passage of ruins, but walked over to the pile of dried corpses, reaching out and examining several of them.
After his examination, he found that not only the blood on the bodies of these dried corpses had been drained, but even the body fluids such as bone marrow had been drained, and the whole corpse was dry enough to be used as firewood.
However, what is even more interesting is that these dried corpses have some abnormal conditions, it seems that after the corpses have been drained of all the fluids in their bodies, their bodies are undergoing some kind of mutation, but this mutation is later interrupted, and all the deaths of the dried corpses are not because the body fluids are pumped away, but because their necks are twisted.
"What a weirdness!" muttered Leo as he dusted his hands after examining the dried corpses.
It's no wonder he feels so incredible, because this dry corpse is still alive and slowly mutating when the spinal cord, cerebral spinal cord, blood and other bodily fluids are completely drained, but it is stopped because the neck is twisted and mutated, and the dry corpse is completely dead, which is completely contrary to the biological knowledge he has learned before.
He had also thought that the reason for the mutation of this dried corpse was some extraordinary power, but his spiritual net was not to mention on the dried corpse, even in the body of those mutated blood clans, he did not find any extraordinary power.
After discovering these mutant bloods, Leo had already checked the situation of these mutant bloods, and he found that these mutant bloods could be said to have gone to an extreme, they seemed to put all their energy on their own blood power, and completely gave up other extraordinary powers, unlike Regiel and Draph who also had the energy fluctuations of extraordinary power.
In addition, the development of blood power by the mutant blood clan has also gone astray, and finally their bodies have completely undergone irreversible mutations, which also invisibly gives Leo a warning to make him more cautious in the research and development of his own blood power.
After finding nothing useful on the dried corpses, Leo stood up and walked around the hall again, he found several items left by his predecessors, which should have been left by other adventurers who were exploring the underground ruins, and also saw two sets of bones, judging from the bones, they should have died of cannibalism, and Leo also found a very fine piece of jewelry in the cracks between the stones under the bones.
This exquisite jewelry seems to be from the hands of elves, the style is very exquisite and luxurious, and according to the relevant information collected by Leo during this time, it can be concluded that the owner of this jewelry is likely to belong to the royal family of the elven kingdom if he does not lose the great nobles of the elf kingdom.
Leo then searched through the torn clothes on the two skeletons, and soon found something about the identity of the skeletons.
While collecting information on the ruins of the underground elves, Leo also collected the information of adventurers who had explored the ruins before, among these adventurers who tried to make a fortune by exploring the ruins and finding treasures, there was an adventurer named Barrel Dent who was very powerful, and two-thirds of the content of the map provided by Frigila came from his exploration.
This barrel Dent is also the most promising person to explore the ruins of the underground elf kingdom clearly, but unfortunately after he went down to the ruins for the last time, he never came out, many people thought that he died in the depths of the ruins, and there were many explorers who died with him, and one of the explorers was the youngest son of the former Grand Duke of Toussen, which also led to the fact that the Duchy of Touscent never organized a large exploration team after that.
One of the two bones at Leo's feet is the bones of the barrel Dent, because the barrel Dent is a very devout believer in the goddess Meritelli, so he wears a large number of goddess ornaments on him, and one of the bones has a large number of goddess meritelli ornaments.
It seems that the barrel Dent has actually explored the lower layers of the ruins, and returned to the original camp, and can return to the surface after walking some distance, but unfortunately dies here.
As for why he died, Leo thinks it may have something to do with the elven ornament in his hand? Either the survivors who came out with the barrel Dent wanted to snatch the elven ornament and attacked the barrel Dent, or the barrel Dent wanted to monopolize the secrets and treasures he found in the underground elven ruins and attack his companions.
Whatever the reason, they all ended up burying their bodies here, and the minds of those who came here later were probably all focused on the lower level of the elven ruins, ignoring the corpses here, and naturally they did not discover the secrets hidden by these two corpses.
Although the bones of the barrel Dent were discovered, and he knew that the keg Dent had explored the ruins of the lower levels and found some elven kingdom relics and the like there, Leo was not happy about it, because he was here mainly to find a danger strong enough to stimulate his blood power.
If the danger inside the elven ruins was safe for even an ordinary explorer to enter and exit, then even if he also found the elven treasure this time, it would be a trip for nothing.
After thinking about it for a while, Leo decided to keep going, and since he had already arrived, he would go down and take a look, maybe he could meet some surprises.
So, following the instructions of the map in his memory, he found the passage that led deeper into the ruins and walked straight in.
After Leo entered the passage, the mutant bloods stretched out their bodies from their curled state, and then stared at the entrance of the passage with a pair of blood-red eyes, as if Dilaff's control had disappeared at this moment, their instinct drove them to chase after prey, but at the same time they also became hesitant for some unknown reason, and finally they did not catch up, but continued to hang on the top of the hall, enduring the instinct to kill.
This passage to the lower ruins was not very easy to walk, and for some special reasons some places even collapsed, so Leo had to open a new path, but fortunately the collapsed places were not very thick, and Leo was able to reopen it soon.
After about an hour, Leo had reached the end of this passage, and at the end of this was an underground cavern larger than the previous hall, judging from the situation here, this should have been a garden before, but with the whole city falling into it, but there was a special force in this garden to protect this place, and the falling stones and dirt were held in the air, and finally formed a dome.
When entering this underground cavern, Leo immediately felt the powerful interference energy contained in his surroundings, this interference energy can not only interfere with the spiritual network, but even interfere with the spiritual energy in his body and any other kind of extraordinary power, the only difference is only the strength of the interference effect.
Of all the supernatural powers, psionic energy is the least disturbed, and all the divine sigils are the most disturbed, and divine sigils such as the Web Weaver's Sigil have almost completely been abolished.
"Is this the anti-magic force field?" Leo quickly recognized the subtleties of the force.
Leo knew from Friengira that there was a very magical metal in this world, called anti-magic metal, which could always keep the mana of all warlocks, even if the most powerful warlock was handcuffed and shackled by this metal, it was impossible to cast any spells, and the anti-magic force field was a special magic array arranged through this metal.
