Chapter 178: Weird
Although he couldn't understand why an oasis suddenly appeared on a desolate level full of stones, Lu Li stopped the car and planned to do a simple reconnaissance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But just as he pushed the car door, he suddenly heard a sad scream in his ears!
Turn around and take a look!
I saw a small animal that looked like a cross between a deer and a sheep, and for some reason it was surrounded by a cloud of water gushing out of the lake, and this mass of water continued to flow as if it was alive, and finally swallowed it completely, and it drowned in a few minutes, completely becoming a lifeless corpse.
Lu Li was startled by the sudden shock, and immediately stopped moving forward, staring at the erratic water mass, which took more than a minute before it slowly retracted back to the calm surface of the lake, and as for the drowning small animal carcass, it was discarded on the shore at will, and in just a blink of an eye, it began to decay and decompose, leaving only a pile of white bones.
"Can anyone explain to me, what the is going on?"
Such a creepy scene made Lu Li's whole body stand up, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
He may be able to muster up the courage to face the monstrous and terrifying monsters in the dungeon, but he can't dispel the fear in his heart for this unknown phenomenon that cannot be understood by common sense.
After all, monsters can be killed with firearms, but how can you kill a ball of water coming out of the middle of the lake?
Is it possible to set the whole lake on fire with gasoline?
In addition, there are also stone people who have encountered those miniature tornadoes with a diameter of one meter and a height of more than five meters before, all of which are very different from the monsters they have seen before.
They are not so much monsters as they are the embodiment of an element, in which the tornado symbolizes the wind attribute, the stone man symbolizes the earth attribute, the water in the middle of the oasis represents the water attribute, and the only thing that has not been seen so far is the flame.
Just when Lu Li was puzzled and puzzled by this level, a thick pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky, and it was completely enveloped within a radius of hundreds of meters in an instant, especially the white strong light that pierced people from opening their eyes.
Since there was no warning of the arrival of the pillar of light, he didn't have time to dodge at all, and was suddenly flashed, his two eyes were gray, and he temporarily lost his vision.
Faintly, he seemed to hear a slight sound of footsteps in his ears, followed by a dozen seconds, more and more footsteps, more and more frequent, and finally even heard an old voice complaining.
"Rohr, hurry up and check our location! It took too much time to find the entrance this time, we must complete the excavation task within a month, otherwise once the elemental tide starts, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"As you wish, Grand Royal Alchemist - Morse!"
"Huh, look! there's a guy standing over there!"
"Oh my God! He's really there! And he's dressed weirdly!"
"No! the really strange thing was the car behind him!"
......
For a while, all kinds of exclamations continued to reach Lu Li's ears, and when he regained his eyesight, he was surprised to find that there was suddenly a huge team of hundreds of people in front of him.
These people look dusty on the surface, and they don't know how long they have been walking in the wilderness, among them there are more than 20 giant tortoises carrying luggage, and they carry a variety of things, including food and alcohol for long journeys, as well as digging tools such as shovels, heads, hammers, and even two metal dolls that are more than three meters tall and can walk autonomously!
Lu Li couldn't figure out how he could encounter such a team that was neither like an adventurer nor a merchant when he was obviously in the dungeon.
The old man at the head was obviously also very surprised to meet a stranger, and hurriedly took two steps forward with his cane, and greeted: "Hello, young man, I am the royal alchemist of the Bethel Empire, Morse, and I am very happy to meet you in the Elemental Heart. ”
"Uh- hello, Your Excellency the Great Alchemist, my name is Lu Li, and I am an adventurer from Kempera. May I ask what is the matter with the Elemental Heart you just mentioned, isn't the place we are at right now on some level of the dungeon?" Lu Li asked confusedly.
"Haven't you heard of the Elemental Heart, my god!, and how did you get in?" the old man who called himself Mose let out a startled cry with wide eyes.
Not only him, but everyone in the team showed an incredible expression.
Lu Li immediately realized that he had made some kind of common-sense mistake, and said nonsense: "I was still on the twenty-ninth floor of the dungeon just now, and I didn't know how to get in, can you explain to me a little bit where this is? What about the Elemental Heart?"
This answer obviously drove Moss a little crazy, he first turned around in place restlessly, followed by holding up a stone slab studded with colorless crystals, and after a long while, he asked in a hurried tone: "You mean, you suddenly came to the Elemental Heart from the twenty-ninth floor of the dungeon?"
"That's right, look at the tire prints, I'm from there. In order to increase his persuasiveness, Lu Li turned around and pointed to the wheel mark that had been pressed out by the Demon Hummer.
"This ...... Why didn't I calculate that there would be a crack on the twenty-ninth floor of the dungeon?" Moss tugged at his beard and muttered to himself as he sat down on the ground and began to write, knowing without asking.
Seeing that the old man could not perform his duties, a man in his thirties sighed helplessly, and took the initiative to explain: "I'm really sorry to let you see the joke." The Great Alchemist Lord Morse is a man who is obsessed with academic research, and if he has something he doesn't understand, he will immediately fall into this state. ”
Lu Li shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "It's nothing, I can understand." I'm more concerned about who can answer the question I just asked. What the hell is this place, and what's going on with the Elemental Heart?"
"Quite simply, the ground we are stepping on is the Elemental Heart.
According to the perspective of the creation myth, the four elements that make up the world, earth, water, fire, and wind, all come from this place, which is the root of all things in the world, and its existence is older than the gods.
No one knows exactly where the Elemental Heart is located, some speculate that it is deep underground, others speculate that it is another dimension, but one thing is for sure, it has always maintained some kind of wonderful connection to the real world.
Alchemists and astrologers can detect the corresponding entrance rift through an instrument called a astrolabe, and the location of the rift changes every few months or so.
Normally, there is a 50% chance that it will be opened on a certain level of the dungeon, and the remaining 50% will randomly appear near the ancient ruins.
So in my personal reasoning, it's likely that you've accidentally crossed the rift between the Elemental Heart and the dungeon.
But don't worry, while it's hard to get in with the Elemental Heart, it's easy to get out, just go to the center and go through the portal, wherever you want to go. ”
The man didn't mean to hide it at all, and generously explained the origin of the elemental heart, as well as the method of entering and exiting. (To be continued.) )
