Chapter 831: Palace of the Dead
Ryan searched for several days in this small secret realm, but did not find the magic teleportation array, nor did he find the spatial rift, as if this was a dead place where he could not get out. As the search continued, Ryan felt the strangeness of this place, full of lifelessness, without the slightest anger, not only manifested in the absence of plants, beasts, and monsters, but also from time to time saw piles of dry bones, exuding the smell of death.
"Square? Palace? ”
When Ryan crossed a high mountain, he suddenly saw that on the other side of the mountain, there was a large square, at least several miles long and wide. Although it is a square, it is not actually paved with neat stones, but a natural wasteland floor, but very flat. In the middle of the square, there stood a lonely palace, the size of the palace was huge, dozens of thick pillars raised a roof, and it seemed that there was only an empty palace, and there were no other compartments.
"Is this the Palace of the Dead?" Ryan came down from the hill and looked at the palace in the distance. Ryan does not doubt that the outer walls and roofs of the palace are piled up with all kinds of dry bones, and there are piles of dry bones scattered around the palace.
"Most of these dry bones are the bones of demonic beasts, and only a small part are human bones, I don't know how long they have been dead? It looks like it's been going on for many years, and it hasn't been shattered yet, which is really rare. "Some of the dry bones are white, some are black, and they look like they've been specially treated, which makes them feel even more weird.
"I have to be careful, if there are undead creatures in the palace, they must still exist now, unlike the monsters that will die after many years of life." Rui An'an muttered. Cautiously walking towards the palace, he had no other way now. There was no other way out of this small secret realm, and he could only break into the palace. I don't expect to get any treasures, I just hope to find a way out.
Very unexpectedly, Ryan walked more than two miles to the front of the palace, and did not encounter any danger, as if this was really a dead place where there was nothing.
"The palace seems to be empty, with only one platform." The palace has no gates, no walls, and only dozens of stone pillars supporting the roof, so Ryan can see it clearly at a glance.
There was a pause. Ryan tightened the super-level magic sword in his hand and slowly walked to the platform in the middle of the palace.
"Is this an altar?" Ryan quickly recognized the platform's function, similar to the altar used for worship, and he jumped up to the altar several meters high to take a closer look at the dense carvings on the ground.
"Is this a magic teleportation array?" After a moment, Ryan dismissed the idea, "No, it's like a magic circle of portals. ”
Rui An's excitement was there, and having a portal meant that he could enter the palace. The chances of getting treasures will be greatly increased. Portals are different from magic teleportation arrays, which are generally used for medium and long-distance teleportation, while portals are used for close-range teleportation, which is equivalent to a portal. Once opened, enter the portal to reach another place.
However, Ryan did not find a slot for placing the magic crystal nucleus, and the portal, like the magic teleportation array, needs to be powered by the magic crystal nucleus to open.
"Could it be a fake portal?" Ryan didn't study the magic circle much. It is really impossible to conduct in-depth research, only basic discrimination. This is also normal. Ryan is very young, and his cultivation time is still very short. There wasn't much time to study the magic circle. After a moment, Ryan's gaze focused on a jack several inches wide, which was supposed to be something that the magic circle should not have.
"Could this be the place where the magic crystal nucleus is placed?" Ryan couldn't help but bend down to look at the jack that shouldn't have appeared, and suddenly saw a scene that made him jump up.
"Ahh Kemp. The words engraved here by Ossedon, the key! Ryan couldn't help but exclaim, and in the inconspicuous place next to the jack, there was a small English word engraved, that is, the same text on the short sword that Ryan had obtained before. In this world, apart from Ryan, there is only Kemp. The Olympiad would write something like this.
After being surprised, Rui An's ecstasy: "Kemp. Ossedon's been here, is this text he left behind, is he reminding me to open this portal and go inside? ”
Ryan quickly took out the dagger from the magic storage bag, leaned closer to the jack on the ground and looked at it, and immediately confirmed that the jack was just the right size for the dagger. Next, Ryan didn't hesitate too much and slowly inserted the short sword into it.
"Poof!" With a soft sound, the magic crystal nucleus on the short sword lit up with a burst of light, and then followed the short sword into the magic array on the ground. Soon, in the middle of the magic array, an oval light gate with a height of three meters appeared out of thin air, which was the portal.
Ryan looked at the portal, hesitating to get in right away, but his attention was quickly caught by what was happening outside the palace.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
I saw that in the square outside the palace, countless earth and stones turned upward, revealing countless holes of different sizes, and then countless undead creatures crawled out of the holes.
"Why are there so many undead creatures?" Ryan felt furious when he saw that there were too many undead creatures outside the palace, more than a thousand, most of them were zombie skeletons, and a small number were vampires and death knights. These undead creatures seem to be below level 7 in strength, with Ryan's current strength, it is estimated that he can kill one with one sword, but there are too many of them, and Ryan can't kill all of them at all.
After thousands of undead creatures crawled out of the hole, there was another "snapping" sound, and the dirt and stones that had just been turned over turned back one after another, and after a while, the ground magically returned to its original state, forming a very flat square again.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! The undead creatures surrounded the palace, all facing the palace, and they quickly spotted Ryan's whereabouts, and then collectively let out a jagged, unpalatable howl.
Next, thousands of undead creatures rushed towards the palace as if instinctively, and judging by their appearance, they must have killed Ryan who rushed into the palace. The vampires were the fastest, flying towards Ryan as fast as they could, not many, but there were seventy or eighty of them. The Death Knight was a little slower, and he was right behind the vampires, who numbered seventy or eighty. The remaining thousands of zombie skeletons are moving very slowly, and they are slowly approaching from behind, but looking at their posture, they must want to kill Ryan by relying on crowd tactics.
"Wouldn't it? How come so many undead creatures come out as soon as you open the portal? Rui Anxin was not afraid, but full of doubts, although there were many undead creatures, if he wanted to leave, these undead creatures would not be able to stop him. Ryan's doubts were worried about whether the portal would be a trap, and if so many undead creatures were trying to force themselves into the portal?
The nearest vampire soon approached, and Ryan casually split the vampire in half with a sword in his hand, killing them completely. But if he delays for a while, then there will definitely be more and more undead creatures surrounding him, and it won't be so easy then. At this moment, Ryan has two choices, one is to fly into the air and leave, and the other is to enter the portal.
"Kemp. Osaidon shouldn't hurt anyone, I'm going to enter the portal anyway. Rui An's mind moved, and then he didn't hesitate, he reached out and pulled out the short sword stuck in the ground, and then stepped into it while the portal was still gone.
As Ryan stepped in, the portal quickly dimmed and disappeared in the blink of an eye. And the dense undead creatures, unable to see Ryan's figure, quickly fell silent, and then slowly retreated.
Ryan stepped into the portal, there was no special feeling, it was like stepping over the threshold to go out, one step, and in the blink of an eye, he came to another place.
"Is this a valley?" Ryan looked at the scene in front of him, slightly surprised. Indeed, the place where Ryan is now is very much like a long valley and also like a long passage.
The width of the valley is about twenty or thirty meters, and the ground is an ordinary road made of gravel and mud, and on either side are high cliffs, which seem to be hundreds of meters high. But Ryan thought it strange no matter how he looked at it, because the passage in front of him led straight for miles ahead, and the cliffs on either side also led straight miles ahead.
With such a passage, where is the natural valley passage? This was clearly developed by man, and combined with the darkness of the sky and the smell of death in the air, this passage can be called a death passage.
"Ahh There is also a palace ahead. Ryan used his eagle eye to look at the end of the passage, and he could see that the passage led to a huge palace, which looked similar to the one he had entered.
Ryan looked behind him, and the path was blocked by a high cliff not far away, apparently at the other end of the passage. He looked down at the magic circle on the ground with the portal carved into it, and then Ryan saw a jack where he could insert a short sword. Immediately, Ryan was relieved, this portal should be a portal that could be exited, and he didn't have to worry about being trapped in this new place again.
"Now there is no other way back but to move forward along this road." Ryan smiled bitterly and began to walk slowly forward, always on guard. In the kind of place that didn't seem to be dangerous before, dense undead creatures could suddenly emerge, but at this moment, this passage looked even more weird, if there was no danger, Ryan was the first to believe it.
"This place is the world of the undead, so what comes out must be undead creatures, and it should be much more advanced than those undead creatures encountered before, and it is estimated that you will encounter undead creatures with a strength of level 7 or above." Rui Anxin muttered, his steps non-stopping, but becoming more and more careful.
Sure enough, after walking dozens of meters, a "pop" sound suddenly sounded not far in front of him without warning, and the mountain walls on the ground and on both sides began to flip rapidly, and then more than a dozen vampires slowly emerged. (To be continued.) )
