Chapter 413: Connection
The whole stone platform was about ten meters deep underground, and when they dug to the bottom of the stone platform with great difficulty, they found that there was actually something else under the clearing, which seemed to be much more complicated than the buildings on the ground.
"It seems to be····· Some special structure with a mysterious connotation? ”
Hongluan looked at the discovery in the ground and asked a little strangely.
What they saw at the bottom of the stone platform was some strange material structure, this material was somewhat similar to the Silver Gu, the Silver Gu had biological and metal properties, and this material seemed to have the characteristics of plants and metals.
On the surface, the material appears to be a dark red, with the texture of a tree branch, but it is as cold as metal to the touch, buried in the soil for an unknown number of years without being corroded in a single bit, and a subtle carving with a mysterious charm is still clearly visible.
Part of this strange material penetrates deep into the base of the altar, seemingly connected to the stone platform, while the other part extends like the roots of a tree, forming a grid-like structure that penetrates deep into the surrounding earth.
"It's a deep place above the ground, so the sailors shouldn't have discovered it in the first place, and of course, all they cared about was the treasure. Now it seems that these structures are the source of the guarantee that this area will not be harassed by those rotten flying babies. ”
The traveler squinted at the structures.
"Perhaps····· These things, forming some kind of enchantment? ”
Yun Meng guessed.
"It's very likely that you were the last to release your ability just now, did you feel anything?"
Hongluan asked Yunmeng.
"No, because I was worried about being 'polluted', I kept my mind introverted and didn't do any probing."
Yun Meng shook his head and said.
"This thing may really be an important part of the enchantment, it is likely to be what we are looking for, just like the silver Gu props we carried, with the function of breaking demons, these materials should also have similar effects, does it mean that as long as we disassemble part of this material and carry it with us, we can carry this enchantment ability with us to resist the attacks of those rotten flying babies?"
Tengu touched his chin and said.
"I don't think it's better to do it."
Meng Xuan looked at the structures composed of strange materials, and secretly said in his heart.
So far, the scenes he encountered have verified one of his conjectures, and he thinks he should know the reason why those rotten flying babies are "invisible".
Judging from the current arrangement of this ruin and the content of the murals in the building that appeared to be a temple, Meng Xuan was basically able to determine that these things in this incident should have a great relationship with the civilization that disappeared into the long river of history in the island illusion, and the hair under the stone platform of the altar confirmed his idea even more.
He had studied the secret arts for a period of time with the old priest of the Giant Bear tribe where Eggers belonged in the illusion world, and he knew that the foundation of the enchantment that guarded the entire Giant Bear tribe in the secret realm was similar to the mysterious structure under this area.
Using special materials, weaving and crafting into special structures, using certain spiritual materials that can draw power from the secret realm as driving energy, burying these structures in the ground, or hiding in some building structures of the tribe, in order to form protection in the secret realm, to a certain extent to block the attack of the secret realm lifeforms.
This structure, in the mouth of the priestly community, is called "bonding."
Obviously, the "connection" buried under this land is at work at this time, forming an enchantment to resist the rotten flying babies in the outside world.
And if the "connection" can take effect, and these rotten flying babies can be resisted by the "connection", then there is only one possibility, in this place, there may be a "secret world", and these rotten flying babies are secret life forms that can enter the "secret world".
This would explain why people are attacked, but there are no entities to be seen.
Because the perceptual system of ordinary people is extremely limited, it is normal to not be able to see the living forms that exist in the secret realm.
However, judging from the current situation, the "secret world" here does not seem to be so complete, and it has a great connection with reality, otherwise it is impossible for them to hear the sound of those "buzzing" and vibrating wings, and it is likely to be killed directly and silently, and many tribesmen will not even have the opportunity to "feel" when they are killed by the creatures of the secret world.
"If there is a secret realm in this world, then with my familiarity with the secret realm, when the restrictions are lifted on the sea, I should be able to perceive it, but in fact it is not, that is to say, it is not that there is a secret realm in this copy world, but this island, or this forest, there is the existence of the secret realm, perhaps, the creation of the secret realm is influenced by some existence."
"This island is referred to as 'Island that does not exist on the map' by the dungeon, and this property is probably related to some of the properties of the Secret Realm."
After clarifying his thoughts, Meng Xuan suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, as if he understood some of the essence of this copy.
"What do you see?"
Everyone asked at Meng Xuan.
"It's not much, it's just that I think this structure should be a whole, similar to rituals, if it is destroyed and dismantled, it is likely to fail, not to mention that it will help us at that time, and it is likely that we will lose this shelter."
Meng Xuan opened his mouth and said.
"Yama has a point."
Jin Jiao also agreed with Meng Xuan's statement.
"Judging by the difficulty of this event, it is clear that it will not give us the kind of lazy shortcut that allows us to directly avoid the attacks of those rotten flying babies, so what we are looking for should be how to crack their advantages, for example, to find out how to crack their 'invisibility', or the source of their appearance."
Meng Xuan said.
"Yes, since these structures can generate the power to stop those monsters, if we can study them thoroughly, those monsters will not be able to threaten us."
Yunmeng said.
"These structures are buried deep underground, and they cover a wide area, and their composition is extremely complex, and it is not easy to study thoroughly."
Qingluan shook his head and said.
"So, there should be important clues from the incident that we haven't been able to find."
Hongluan looked at the stone platform, and a large number of special materials that had been gathered, and suddenly his expression moved, bent down, and stretched out his hand to grope at the intersection of the intertwined dark red materials at the bottom of the stone platform.
She touched it for a while, and suddenly a hint of joy appeared on her face.
"There's something hidden in the middle of these intertwined materials!"
Hongluan retracted his hand and said to everyone.
"What is it?"
The crowd asked.
"It feels like a cortex to the touch, but it's too deep to hide, I can't reach it, I need to dig some more, and when the time comes, let Qingluan drill down, and I should be able to take it out."
Hongluan said, and everyone heard the words without delay, picked up the guy, and continued to dig.
Soon, one side of the stone platform was dug about half a meter deeper, and the petite Qingluan was able to shrink down and drill down to the bottom of the stone platform to see the appearance of the convergence of those intertwined material nodes.
"There's really a piece that looks like a roll of vellum, caught in the cracks of those structures!"
Qingluan's voice was a little surprised, and then she used her smaller body to drill up, reaching out and pulling out the hidden object hidden in the gap at the bottom of the stone platform.
After Qingluan climbed out, everyone immediately gathered around, and they opened the parchment scroll made of unknown materials, and looked at the things recorded on it.
Everyone found that the scroll of parchment was not written or pictures, but a series of intricate thin lines crisscrossing each other, and they did not know what they were trying to express.
This is ·····
Meng Xuan instantly recognized it, this was the kind of book that needed to be in a certain trance state to see the real content.
"It seems like the kind of technology used on tickets to Black Death, which requires a quick adjustment of consciousness to see the real picture? It's really troublesome when you can't use supernatural powers. ”
Hongluan said with a frown.
"It's not very troublesome, it's good to go into a trance."
Jin Jiao said, shaking his head violently a few times, allowing himself to instantly enter a state of dizziness and trance, his body staggered, and the sky swirled, looking like he was about to fall down at any time, but at this time, in his eyes, the lines on the parchment scroll had changed, and those crisscrossing lines seemed to move, intertwined into a "moving picture" similar to the picture on the ticket to the Black Death Paradise.
It seems to be a ritual, where someone stands on the altar and makes strange movements, and then the power of the altar and these deep underground connections seem to be stimulated and become available, and the people who are performing the ritual on the altar use this power to defeat the beasts and the devil.
Others used a similar approach to see the picture conveyed by the lines on the vellum.
"Does this mean that we need to follow the instructions on the parchment scroll to perform a ritual to activate the power of this special structure, and then use this power to find the source of those rotten flying babies and completely destroy them?"
Xianglong asked with a frown after recovering from his trance.
"At present, it seems that this should be the case, and only with the help of the power in the incident, can we possibly compete with those monsters."
Golden Horn nodded.
However, seeing the picture in the parchment scroll, Meng Xuan's face sank.
Based on the knowledge he had learned from the old priests of the tribe, he could roughly tell that the ritual performed in that scroll of vellum was not a method of activating the "connection" at all, but rather a method of closing the "connection"!
It dawned on him that this might be a trap!
Something is being directed at them, is it a pit dug by the copy itself, or is there something else?
Judging from the strange situation in the current dungeon, it is clear that it is more likely to be the latter!
If they follow the method on the parchment roll, then the "connection" of this area will be closed, and countless rotten flying babies will likely flood them in an instant!
However, what is placed in such a place is clearly the product of the copy itself, because those monsters cannot get close to the "connection", and it is impossible for them to replace it.
What's going on here?
This ceremony must not take place, otherwise the situation will be extremely bad.
Just when Meng Xuan's face was gloomy and thinking about how to wake everyone up, Jin Jiao spoke first: "I think things may not be so simple, have you noticed that such an important thing actually does not have systematic task item certification?" ”
"Coincidence? Sometimes the clues we find do not have system certification, and the system is not omnipotent. ”
Hongluan groaned.
"That's when we deduce clues on our own, and there's almost nothing like this that gives a clear direction that isn't recognized by the system."
Jin Jiao said solemnly.
"You're saying it's fake, too?"
Tengu asked with a frown.
"It's hard to say, I think we can ······"
Boom Boom!!
Before the golden horn could finish speaking, the ground of the entire ruins suddenly shook violently, and a large amount of sand fell, almost burying the people who were in the pit alive at this time.
Desperate, everyone hurriedly climbed out of the pit as fast as they could, spitting sand while their eyes were full of doubts.
What the hell is going on?!
They saw that the entire building of the ruins was shaking, taking on a peculiar state, and they seemed to be "twisting".
After a period of distortion, everyone actually found that all the ruins of the entire ruins were actually fading and disappearing.
The ruins are disappearing?!!
Why is that?!!
Everyone opened their mouths, but they were a little speechless, and they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The ruins disappeared very quickly, and in just about half a minute, everything in front of them had already faded into something like a phantom, as if it would dissipate when the wind blew.
Even the rolls of vellum in the hands of the crowd were the same.
Buzz!!
Without the protection of the ruins, everyone ushered in a harsher result, and the dense and scalp-numbing sound of shaking wings around them reappeared, and without the shroud of the ruins enchantment, the kind of monsters that could not be seen, could not be perceived and explored with mental power, and even the touch and killing of extraordinary power could cause serious erosion, became active again.
"Qingluan!!"
Hongluan let out a low snort, and Qingluan immediately used his extraordinary ability to liberate, propping up a protective shield to envelop everyone.
Bang bang bang!!
Almost the next moment, there was a violent impact sound on the shield, and the light mask appeared irregularly dented, as if it would burst at any moment.
"These guys have more than doubled their strength!! Such a large range of protective shields can't hold up! ”
Qingluan said quickly, gritting his teeth and insisting.
"What?!"
Everyone took a deep breath and had a bad premonition.
Bang bang bang!!
The violent impact sound did not stop at all, and it was difficult for everyone's thermal weapons to completely block it.
What the hell is going on?!
The crowd was almost stunned by the series of mutations.
