Chapter 54: The Pool of Hidden Swords (Part II)

"Tell her we're going now. Hannah pulled out the big gun from his back with his backhand, "Lame Henry's prosthetic", pressed the start button to start warming up, and in the scorn of the steam eruption, Stuart's contemporary head of the house glanced at everyone: "I don't need her to remind me, I also think that there will be a little trouble today, brother, take good care of Jonah, even if you take your own life, don't let him get hurt." ”

"Okay...... What the. Danny was stunned and pursed his lips, "His life is worth more than mine, and as the best observer, sailor, cook, and porter in the endless sand sea, my life is much brighter than this pale astrologer's apprentice." ”

No one paid attention to his complaints, led by the Tantuha woman, the group left the main peak and began to move along the north-south ridge of the postworm, there was no road when stepping out of the range of the stone flat, the intricate boulders filled the view, the whole terrain was slightly undulating, and the overall trend was downward, which could be simply divided into three areas: the western slope, the eastern slope and the ridge,

"Keep walking on the ridge, you and your guide keep an eye on the eastern slope, and Jonah and I will look for clues on the western slope to understand the sailors. Hannah held a large gun and gave orders,

"Yes, Captain, Your Excellency. Danny replied with a bit of sarcasm,

Jumping and climbing between the rocks with no regularity, and at any moment slipping and falling into the abyss, the physical strength consumed by such a march is not comparable to that of the road of worship, and it didn't take more than a while, just after recovering a little strength, Jonah's body shook three times, and staggered to the end of the line, Hannah looked back at him, "If you want to rest, tell me at any time." ”

"No, no, no. The astrologer's apprentice waved his hand weakly with his staff, "I'll walk slowly, while there is still sunshine, you move quickly, it will be even more difficult to find when it gets dark." ”

"Got it, don't force it, we won't leave you behind. Hannah stretched out her spear and motioned for Jonah to pull the barrel of the gun, and with a single force, helped the astrologer apprentice jump over a yard wide ditch.

The sun has set in the west, the shadows of the four people have been stretched long, the sky is a deep royal blue, and on the western skyline, the sun is sinking into golden red clouds, and the shadows of the undulating sand dunes form a patchwork of natural abstract paintings, "There is still half an hour before sunset." Danny shouted, "...... Probably. ”

"Ask the guide if you can use torches to light the spine of the worms. Hannah began,

Danny Stewart asked in Tantuha, and received an affirmative answer, "There is no question, the Worm's ** is to remain absolutely dark, and her back is not under divine protection." ”

“**。 Jonah heard the key word at the end of the line,

"It's the tunnel down there. Danny explained with a grin, "I've said it all, and you'll understand later." ”

The desert sunset is faster than the plains, one moment it is sunset, the next moment, the whole world is plunged into darkness, Jonah is one foot deep and one foot shallow foot between the rock crevices are struggling, as soon as he looks up, the night has covered the wilderness, and his eyes are wide enough to see Hannah's fiery cloak,

"Hey, Hannah, Danny. Fear immediately caused the astrologer's apprentice's heart to contract, and he clenched his staff and shouted, feeling his voice blown away by the constant north wind blowing from the top of the mountain, and it couldn't reach far at all, "Hey, where are you, here I am, Danny, Hannah." Jonah put his hand in his hand and called out the name of his new companion with all his might, but there was no response, the night surrounded him like a thick mist, and by the starlight he could barely see the rocks beneath his feet, but any detail was blurred ten yards away, let alone the distant ground hundreds of yards low,

A few minutes later, he thumped his skull in annoyance, what better distress signal could there be in the night than a bright light, Jonah crouched down and picked up a piece of oval granite that could be found everywhere, at the cusp of the northeast wind, most of the gravel of the back worm's spine had been weathered into this shape, making it an ideal carrier for the star array,

Taking out a carving knife from the deerskin bag, Jonah scribbled the outline of the illuminated star array on the granite, due to the simple structure, the illuminated star array does not have much to improve like the "scorching ray", but the pure star power is transformed into pure light, after completing this star array, Jonah thought about it, and carved his own invention on the back of the stone to attack the star array "Mushroom Farm Trident", if as Hannah said, something unusual will happen today, then he at least needs the strength to protect himself,

Holding the rock in his hand, Jonah felt that there was still some inadequacy, a well-functioning star array needed two parts to match: a good carrier and a good conductor, granite is an intermediate carrier, to exert the power of the star array, it is also necessary to embed the conductor in the notch, the most ideal is of course pure gold, mythril, but now the astrologer's apprentice has no powdery object on his body except for the dregs of wheat cakes,

Scratching his head, a crazy idea suddenly popped up in Jonah's heart, star dust is a wonderful product to enhance the ability of astrologers to sense, in the end, it should also be a top-level conductor of star power, and what material can easily conduct the power of stars than the fragments of stars, Jonah carefully took out the glass bottle, unscrewed the cap, blocked the wind with his body, and poured a little bit of star dust into the nick of the Trident Star Array,

The rainbow-colored powder shimmered in the starlight, and a thin layer of star dust adhered to the bottom of the notch, showing a brilliant seven-colored color, "It's a waste...... Jonah put away the glass bottle painfully, and couldn't bear to coat the illuminated star array with a layer of rainbow powder,

The engraved seal of the gods "Syracina" is disguised as an old staff, and there is a groove at the top of this staff for installing lighting red crystals, Jonah inserts the granite into the groove, turns left and right, and a soft sound of "click" just catches, he raises his staff, borrows power from the starry sky, and ignites the lighting star array,

With the help of the magical power of the Seven Artifacts, the ability of the astrologer apprentice to find the starline, master the flow of energy, and control the star array has been greatly enhanced, and in just a few seconds, the yellow-brown rock on the head of the staff has turned into a crystal clear luminous body, and the dazzling bright orange-red light illuminates a radius of three hundred yards in an instant, and a lighthouse in the night sky lights up from the spine of the worm, and even the night is reflected red,

"Hannah, Danny. Knowing that the other party couldn't hear him, Jonah still shouted, waving his staff,

This time I received an immediate response, in the darkness on the north side, three torches were lit in order, relying on the nearest torch to light up and dim, as if sending some signal, but Jonah didn't know anything about this light language, so he could only use the lighting star array to draw circles on his head to prove that he was safe and sound,

The three torches didn't move their positions, and Jonah understood what they meant: the Stewart siblings stayed where they were, waiting for him, "I'll be right here." He exclaimed excitedly and walked briskly in the direction of his companion, but the astrologer's apprentice, in his agitated mood, forgot to pay attention to the jagged crevice beneath his feet, "Hannah, Danny...... Ah. Jonah felt empty under his feet, his body lost his balance,

There seemed to be only a two-foot-wide gap between the two boulders, but the rock formation near the gap had been eroded by gusts of wind, leaving only a thin crust, and Jonah's broken cowhide boots stepped on the edge of the crust, and immediately clattered the rock formation, and fell down the ridge,

In Jonah's consciousness, the heavens and the earth turned around a few times, a dull pain came from his back and arms in order, and then a hard wall hit his face squarely, shaking his whole head and buzzing, the astrologer apprentice moaned in a low voice, slowly relaxing his body, even when he fell, he did not relax Siracina, so at this moment, the illuminated star array at the top of the gods' inscription was still shining, so that he could see where he had fallen after the Venus in front of him dispersed,

A rock wall about 20 yards high showed the distance of the fall, fortunately, Jonah did not fall directly into this stone flat, but rolled down from multiple rocks in turn, except for the contusions on his back, arms and knees, he miraculously did not have a single fracture, it took a few minutes, Jonah slowly sat up, "Oops......" he cried out, stroked his back with his hand, the large astrology robe was cut by the rock, and his back was swollen in many places, and it hurt when he touched it,

"It's bad luck...... Hannah, Danny......" The astrologer's apprentice cried weakly twice, his eyes suddenly widened and his throat choked with surprise...... Here......"

"Where everything begins and ends, the four elements come together to reveal the secrets of the five hundred and forty suns for fellow travelers. ”

The sixth prophecy of Seglas the Betrayer sounded in Jonah's mind, it was not a coincidence, it was fate that arranged for him to fall from the ridge, otherwise this kind of ingenious spectacle would not be found in a lifetime's strength, Jonah's body trembled, and he slowly stood up with his staff to support his body, "Where the four elements become one...... This is ...... here."

This is a ten-yard square stone flat on the western slope, slightly sunken in the natural slope of the spine of the hinder, from the ridge can not be seen at all, Jonah pointed out when he interpreted the prophecy, although he did not know what the missing fourth element was, but when he saw this place with his own eyes, he must have recognized it, and at this moment he smiled bitterly and said to himself: "It turns out that all four elements have guessed wrong......

In the center of the stone flat is a small pool of two yards, the turquoise water is quiet and deep, and it is impossible to see how deep it is; at the edge of the waterhole grows a small tree, about a person's tall thin stem is crowned with a bush of lush young leaves, and a few small pink flowers bloom under the leaves; the petals fall into the pool, rising and falling with the ripples, Jonah's eyes swept over the falling flowers, and he saw a trace of crimson flash in the depths of the pool, he approached the pool, and brought the staff close to the water, through the slightly rippling blue waves, hidden under the water, it was clearly a simple sword hilt, the end of the hilt made of mythril filament, embedded with a huge pink diamond, reflecting the brilliance of the illuminating star array, the pink diamond appears brighter than the star array itself,
