Chapter 508: The Secret of the Wreckage
When Tatara was summoned by Char to perform magic, his face was as pale as earth, and his legs trembled in fright.
Not for anything else, just because last night when I was resting, I heard the conversation between Master Char and this Darwin, and Dotara also knew that the place under everyone's feet now was a huge volcanic crater.
Although from the history known to Tadora, this volcano has never erupted. But...... A crater is a crater after all!
Master Char actually called himself over, "Stand on this crater, let yourself use earth-based magic, open a crack in the ground or make a cave out, then it's okay......! My God, this crater is ten miles in circumference, you can imagine how powerful it is if such a big guy explodes?
Therefore, Char's order made the magician sweat and tremble, and he didn't get the spell right after reciting it three times.
In the end, under Char's impatient eyes, the magician reluctantly recited the spell correctly, and cast an earth-based magic, and suddenly saw the magic light flowing in the air, and the ground under everyone's feet rolled, and the soil turned over to both sides, and then a crack in the ground more than a meter wide appeared.
Duo Duo Luo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was about to smile at Master Char, but when he looked up, he saw that Master Char's face was blue with anger, and he was about to speak, "Char had already kicked over and said angrily: "You idiot! You made such a big gap, are you a pangolin? Such a big hole, how can we get into it? You drill it for me!"
Next to him, Darwin laughed: "Okay" Don't scold him. He can't do it if he wants to get out of the cracks. β
As he spoke, Darwin actually took out a few magic crystals from a bag he was carrying, and said, "If you want to make a big move, it's best to set up a magic array." Anyway, we've already figured out the location, so let's open a magic array here and make a big crack out of it. β
Naturally, Tatara was scared to death, but under Char's power, the magician could only pinch his nose and comply. Just because the volcanic explosion is terrible, but after all, it is unknown" This old man Char's anger exploded, but it was right in front of him. Moreover, "the magician carefully estimated in his heart" that if this old man Char burst out in anger, the level of horror would not necessarily be weaker than that of a volcanic explosion.
Benefiting from the gift of Emperor Odin, Dodorod's mind is still very solid in his magical knowledge. It's not difficult to set up a medium-sized earth-based magic array. What's more, Darwin had already prepared and prepared a large bag of materials for arranging the magic array, although the number of magic crystals was not too much, but it was enough to simply get an earth-based magic array.
Todoro spent a morning in the sun, pouting his ass and drawing magic maps everywhere on the ground, arranging magic crystals. At Char's request, the circle of this magic array became bigger and bigger. Directly used up all of Darwin's magic crystals in one go, "That's why I let Dodoro go."
Tadoro's skills are not bad, "This magic array is also quite decent.
On the ground, the pattern of a huge six-pointed star has been drawn, and the pattern of the six-pointed star is dozens of meters wide, and the position of the six corners and the center of the "center" prevents the magic crystal. The spell patterns of various earth-based magics" are also skillfully drawn.
Once everything was in place, Char and Ada retreated into the distance. It was only then that a solemn expression appeared on Todoro's face.
The sorcerer's figure slowly drifted off the ground, and with the incantation, slowly chanted word by word from Tatara's mouth, "The voice seemed to flutter over the wilderness under the action of the wind, and it would not go away for a long time. Although Tataro was afraid in his heart, once he began to control this magic array, he was still full of spirit. Just because he knew in his heart that if the magician himself made a mistake, he might lead to the backlash of magic "for the safety of his own life" or temporarily forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart.
Tatara's body didn't fly very high, and it was only five or six meters above the ground," and as he chanted the incantation, "the air began to flow around him," and the dirty robe fluttered in the wind, looking quite imposing.
His hands were raised high, and his whole body soon glowed with a ball of magical light, and as he finished chanting the last note of the incantation, "On the ground, the pattern of the six-pointed star, the magic crystal in the six corners was quickly echoed and flickered, and the magic light was immediately poured into it from the six corners of the six-pointed star, and gathered in the center of the magic array."
The magic crystal arranged in the center of the γMiddleγ began to change, "as if with the ripples of the waves, the soil on the ground began to flow faintly! As if the originally dry and hard ground had become quicksand in the desert at this moment." Ripples began to appear on the ground like water waves, "going out in circles, spreading out, facing in all directions."
Immediately, the ground began to roll. It was as if something was churning beneath the ground, trying to break through the ground. Finally, I heard a "boom"! The ground shook suddenly, and Char and Darwin stood in the distance, and they also felt the shaking under their feet, as if it were an earthquake. Char had all the skills, although the ground shook violently, his feet were firmly in place like nails, but Darwin simply sat on the ground.
Tatara had also fallen to the ground, "He was standing in the center of the six-pointed star's central magic array, and as he took a deep breath, all the magic light on the ground converged towards his feet. Finally, under the violent shaking of the ground, it was like a lightning bolt that imprinted into the ground...... The ground was rumbling and roaring, and the movement lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually subsided, and after the wind stopped, Char looked at it again and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This Todora really has some ability!
I saw that the pattern of the six-pointed star magic array on the ground had disappeared, but a huge crack appeared on the surface! !
The crack in the ground stretched all the way out, but it was a huge crack exposed on the surface, six or seven meters wide, hundreds of meters long, and beneath the surface, it stretched all the way, and I don't know how deep it went.
It looks like the gods used a giant axe to cut out such a trace on the earth!
That Tatara is so obscene on weekdays, but now it seems that "the skills of his subordinates are really good." The effect of such a magic array is really amazing.
But Char's thought was born," turned around and saw Tadora, and immediately tilted his nose.
The magician who had made such a shocking effect had already slammed himself on the ground, kneeling on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and shaking his ass pouting, just blindly holding his head, chanting words in his mouth, vaguely listening, but as if he was some kind of "god", "guarantee", "volcano" and the like.
Char was so angry that he walked over, kicked the magician over, and then ignored Dodoro, who was sitting on the ground stunned, and turned to look at Darwin: "What now?"
Darwin smiled but had already touched out the prepared things, he took out two crystal stones from the bag on his body, grabbed them one by one and knocked them hard, and then the two stones suddenly shone brightly.
Darwin threw Char one and smiled, "Go down and have a look." β
β»β»β»
The crack was only a few hundred meters long on the surface, but when you walked in, it stretched from high to low, going deeper and deeper! Char and Darwin walked side by side in this crevice, as if they were walking in a narrow canyon. Look up and look at the cracks on both sides. on, the rocks are jagged.
A little higher, you can still see the dry and hard soil, and the further down you go, the deeper you go. Naturally, it was pitch black underground, but Darwin's two illuminated philosopher's stones were as if they were carrying two torches.
Char estimated in his heart that he had walked down for a long time, but he was afraid that he had gone deep into the cracks of the ground that were tens of meters underground, and the dirt was gradually gone, replaced by rocks that were hard and cold to the touch.
"It's volcanic rock. Darwin also touched the rock on the crack with Char, and said, "It's something formed after the volcanic magma solidifies." β
"You understand again?", Char sneered.
"Don't forget, since I became human, I have had to live in your human world for many years. I don't know how many of your human books and documents there are. When it comes to learning, I'm afraid that the most famous scholars among you human beings may not be able to beat me. Darwin was not at all polite, glanced at Char, and continued to walk down. The cracks in the ground became narrower and narrower as they went, after all, they were made by the magic array, and the further down they went, the effect of magic gradually weakened, and the gaps became narrower and narrower, and only one person could walk through.
Char had the original lesson, so he naturally refused to go ahead, "but took a step back" and made a "please" gesture to Darwin, and Darwin also knew that Char would not fully trust himself and "did not shirk" so he took the initiative to walk in front.
Gradually, Xia Yaxian, on the walls on both sides of the crack, "those volcanic rocks turned into some colorful translucent stones, which looked like hedrons, but the transparency was a little worse, and they were distributed on the rocks, one in the east and one in the west."
"It's a kind of crystal formed by the heat that melts the surface of the earth after the volcanic lava is erupted, and then cools down. Darwin walked all the way as if explaining to Char: "That is the resource on which the village on the ground depends." However, we are not going deep enough now, the texture of the crystal here is obviously not good enough, if we continue to go down, then the transparency and texture of the crystal will be better than here. β
"I'm not here to dig for crystals. Char pouted.
Suddenly, Darwin in front of him stopped, raised his hand and made a gesture to Char, but pointed to the wall next to him, and his tone was a little excited: "Come and see!"
Char squeezed over, barely standing side by side with Darwin, and looked at the wall, "I can't help but suck in." Cool air.
On the wall, there is a large translucent crystal about five or six meters wide, and on this translucent crystal, there seems to be a yin shadow!
Get in, use the lighting magic stone in your hand to shine on it, and you can see the outline inside seven or eight points clearly.
Inside, it's a humanoid thing!
Moreover, the appearance is really numb!
It's a half-human, half-skeleton thing!
That's right, it's half human, half skeleton! Half of the "human" body inside is inlaid in the crystal on the side with poor transparency, but it is faintly visible, as if the body is still well preserved, as if the body still exists, although Pirou has been petrified, but the intact outline can still be vaguely seen.
The other half of the body was exposed to a crystal with relatively high transparency, and the body was no longer bloodless, only a skeleton remained.
The whole body "seems to be struggling, and even the skull and head are also Zhang's boss."
"This guy must have been swallowed up by volcanic magma, "half of his body was directly incinerated and the blood rouge was left, only the bones remained, and the other half of his body was exposed, and it was buried here as the magma solidified into a crystal. Darwin sighed.
Char listened, but was dissatisfied: "Hey, Ada, don't you fool Lao Tzu! Think I don't understand? If this person is swallowed by magma, "How can there be a skeleton of bones preserved? The bones have been melted by magma, right?", Darwin listened, smiled, and glanced back at Char: "What you said is also good." So what do you think should be going on?"
Char squinted his eyes for a while, frowned, and said, "Just chisel it and see if you know!"
With a slight turn of the fire fork, a big hole was cut.
But when Char cut the crystal open, Darwin and Char were both stunned!
Inside, it's empty!
This crystal is not solid, but hollow!
The ancient bones in the cut crystal, the upper half of the skeleton body, were exposed to the air, and immediately turned into powder!
Darwin looked at it, and suddenly said, "I understand." β
"What do you understand?", Char looked at Darwin with interest.
Darwin sighed and said, "This guy must have been buried in the volcanic eruption, but instead of dying of magma, he was buried in the solidification of magma." The magma cooling solidification process is uneven, and the heat cooling process is uneven, and many bubbles will appear after they are completely solidified, and these bubbles will become spaces hidden in these crystal layers...... Well, that's probably it. β
Char is not very upscale about these things, but looking at what this guy said with confidence, it really doesn't look like he's talking nonsense, but he also believes it, and thinks: This guy really has some knowledge.
But Char immediately frowned and said, "Yi, look!"
As he spoke, he gestured at the half-cut body that was still embedded under the crystal, and then gestured at himself again, and said with a smile: "This thing doesn't seem to be human." β
Indeed, the body of this corpse is very short, and only from the half-cut body that is still preserved in the crystal stone, it seems that the height of this "person", even if it is long, it will probably be just right to reach Char's abdomen.
Normal humans would never be so short.
In this world, there are only two races that are so short in stature and similar in size to humans. Goblins, and dwarves.
"Well, this skeleton is very thick, goblins don't have such a thick skeleton, it should be a dwarf. Char sighed.
Darwin looked at it twice, then nodded.
Char then knocked open the remaining half of the crystal and dug out the dwarf's bones directly from inside.
The lower half of the bones are quite intact because they are embedded in the crystal, especially the armor on the legs.
Although I don't know how many years have passed, because it is sealed in crystal, although the armor has the appearance of petrification, the outline is complete.
Darwin touched the road above and sighed, "It's indeed a dwarven craft. β
However, the bones of the dwarves "were all that appeared, and a little further down, the crack in the ground came to an end."
After all, this is a crack in the surface created by magic, not a real man-made passage.
Char estimated: "The depth we walked, I'm afraid it's only a few hundred meters, right?"
Darwin shook his head: "This way down is not vertical, but a ramp, so it is probably more than 100 meters at most." β
Char smiled: "I only found half of the dwarf bones, which is a waste of time." β
Darwin's eyes lit up: "Finding this thing at least proves that the document I got is true, and this is indeed an ancient battlefield." Just dig around here a little bit and you'll find what we need. β
After speaking, he glanced at Char: "Okay, let's go up first." β
After all, this crack in the ground has come to an end, and there is no way down, so Char has to turn back to the ground with Darwin.
But Darwin took out the armor from under the dwarf's bones, took off his robe, wrapped it and held it in his arms.
When he came up, "Darwin ran back to the stone yard and brought back a bunch of tools" and "chisels, shovels and all the like, piled together.
"Tomorrow we'll go down and start digging" If you're lucky, you might be able to get what you need.
Char listened, and snorted: "It's bad luck to recommend, I'm afraid that I won't get anything after digging for ten days and half a month." β
Darwin glanced at Char: "It's just that you are so anxious, things are so simple there." You must know that "from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people are looking for the ruins of the ancient battlefield, and I don't know how many human magicians have also had such an idea, searching for the ruins of the ancient battlefield and digging things, but it is not an easy thing." Some necromancers "find the remains of the dragon bones, and if they find an ancient battlefield, even if they stay there for a year or two." β
"A year or two? I don't have that much time to waste here. Char sneered: "I'll accompany you for a few more days at most, and if you don't get any more results, I'll slap away with both hands." β
Darwin frowned, and then his brows stretched again, and he smiled lightly: "You are a great master, and your strength is far better than that of ordinary people, and you are a guy with divine power, it will be much easier to excavate." β
Then the two of them stopped talking about this, and did not go back to the stone yard, but made a fire by the crack in the ground, got some food to eat, and stayed here for the night.
In the evening, Char saw Darwin sitting by the fire, "but with the dwarven armor squared on his knees", his palms rubbing lightly on it, his brows tightly twisted together, his eyes flashing, "but he didn't know what this guy was thinking."
Char only felt that there was an occasional flash of light in Darwin's eyes, as if there was something wrong...... It seems to be ......"
Disturbed?!
Yes, just uneasy!
This Darwin, he seems to have noticed something, what is it that makes him actually afraid?!
However, Char knew that even if he asked, most of this guy would not be willing to tell him the truth, "If he was willing to say it, he would have said it a long time ago."
Char then turned around and slept with his head covered.
But in the middle of the night, the wind suddenly rose. The wind was whistling, faintly as if the ghost was crying wolf, Char didn't care at first, just thought it was the wind, but gradually felt that something was wrong.
The things mixed in with the sound of the wind seemed to be circling around all the time, and suddenly, Char sat up violently!
This voice does not come from the wind!
is from ...... Underground!
He turned his head suddenly, only to see Darwin also sitting up, his eyes full of light.
Char had already held the fire fork in his hand with his backhand and looked at Darwin coldly: "Did you hear that?"
"Hmm. β
Darwin nodded, his expression solemn.
The two of them stood up together and walked towards the crack in the ground, "Stand still from afar."
The sound was coming from underground, as if the wind was howling.
But... Faintly... , but somewhat unusual.
"Where is the wind when the ground is low?" Char's face turned grim and glared at Darwin: "Do you know anything?!"
Darwin shook his head at first, but then hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, looked at Char, and smiled bitterly: "It seems to ...... We're in trouble. β
"What the hell is going on!" Char went up and grabbed Darwin's neck, and said angrily: "It's not good to meet you every time!
Darwin shook his head, but suddenly felt the piece of armor from his arms: "The secret is on this armor!"
That piece of armor, under the light of the distant bonfire, seemed to have a faint light, which made people's hearts furious
