Chapter Seventy-One: Ruins
"Buzz"
With an uncomfortable eardrum-inducing sound, the stone pillar with its strange symbol was activated again.
Then Lu Changge walked to the next stone pillar, but there was no response, and the next one activated the second stone pillar.
The five stone pillars lit up one after another, and it only took two minutes.
The world was silent at this moment, and the wind had stopped.
Even Lu Changge could hear Belatia and Elaine's breathing.
Dark clouds gathered overhead, and the sky was low.
The wind rose again, and thunder rolled.
Just after Lu Changge also evacuated from the vicinity of those stone pillars, everyone seemed to be waiting for something to come, and they were speechless.
"Boom!"
Under the force of thunder and lightning, the silver-white electric snake even spread slowly for a distance between the stone pillar and the ground.
Just before everyone recovered from the first thunder, a succession of electric snakes descended from the sky, some on the stone pillars, some on the ground.
The electric snakes were intertwined, and Lu Changge felt a feeling that made his head uncomfortable, and in the middle of the blazing white power grid, a black origin began to appear, and gradually increased, and there was a red light flickering on the edge of the periphery, like a demon's huge mouth, wanting to swallow the world into it.
"There really is a red portal."
Belatia looked at the strange red portal in the middle of the stone pillar, a little distracted.
As this portal stabilized and no longer increased, Lu Changge's headache was also instantly relieved.
At the moment just now, his spirit involuntarily wrapped around the red portal and opened, as if it was probing something, and he tried to cut off this connection several times without success.
Knocked on the head, and now he didn't feel any discomfort at all.
"Have you ever seen a portal of any other color?"
Bellatia's words Lu Changge heard it clearly, she must have seen other portals.
"The Return-to-City Scroll is used by those who change jobs, what's so strange?"
Still staring at the red portal, Belatia didn't seem to be able to imagine how much surprise his words would bring to Lu Changge.
Sure enough, for some reason, the plane seems to prohibit the use of the Scroll of Return, but there seems to be no restriction in the Sanctuary.
Thinking of this, the raging power of thunder and lightning gradually stopped.
Only the red portal was still in place, reflecting the five stone pillars around it in a crimson glow.
Red and white edges, pitch-black energy flowing in the middle, exactly like the one seen in the cemetery.
It's not the first time Lu Changge has seen this kind of portal, if he hadn't run fast last time, he probably wouldn't be where he is now.
"Are you ready?"
After being stunned by Lu Changge's question, Belatia's gaze moved away from the red portal.
Lu Changge looked at Belatia, who was a little distracted, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, this little girl wanted to let herself open Trissym's portal.
When he really turned it on, the girl was stupid and didn't know what to do.
"Let's go."
With a wave of Lu Chang's singer, the skeleton team entered the portal one after another.
The black energy in the middle of the red portal engulfed their figures, and Lu Changge could still feel the spiritual connection that was vague, and there seemed to be no danger.
There was only him left, Elaine and Belladia, Lu Changge was the first to equip and walked in, and Elaine also resolutely followed, only Belladia didn't know what she was thinking.
It didn't take long for her to bite her red lip, stomp her blue boots, and followed.
The Stone Wilderness was quiet again, only the unknown energy at the edge of the red portal still swaying as if it were alive.
The never-ending flames seemed to make the air scorching.
Lu Changge passed through the portal and saw the fiery red sky and the flames that were still burning not far away.
It seemed that time had stood still, and Trissym was still struggling under the flames of hell.
"This is Tristm?"
Hearing Belatia's voice behind him, the whole team arrived.
The portal opened next to a bridge, but the bridge was broken and blocked by dense woods.
The river is still clear, and the plants on its banks are still thriving, but the fiery red sky is reflected in the water, reminding everyone that this place is still under the control of the flames of hell.
"These flame legends are left by the Lord of Destruction, and even those who change classes cannot extinguish them."
There was some sadness in Belatia's tone, and Lu Changge was helpless.
Tristum's former glory is now nothing but flames and ashes.
"Let's go."
No amount of sentimentality helps, the town has been destroyed for thousands of years, and only some of the powers of hell still remain here.
The only thing they can do is clean up the dirt over and over again.
It seems that time has not passed too much here, or it has stalled in order to remember the history that makes people cry.
They didn't go far before they saw a corpse of Rogge, and Bellatia released her soul to rest in a fireball spell.
Near the low stone wall was the corpse of a dead animal, with a bulging belly, and the skeleton team was splattered with exploding flesh as they passed.
However, the environment is more forgetful than humans, and the grass and trees on the ground are not affected and grow very well.
The three of them were speechless all the way, and walked along the stone brick path towards the town.
The first monsters encountered were the Blade Demon and the Bladed Wizard, indistinguishable from those in the Stone Wilderness.
"The minions of hell have not spared this place."
Elaine bent her bow and shot arrows, as if it was Rogge's corpse that had touched her just now, and the sharp arrows shot into the blade wizard's body with a sharp whistling sound, and the battle was about to break out.
Lu Changge didn't make a move, the skeleton team had already rushed up, and the level of these monsters was not very high, and they were solved in a few clicks.
A crude scimitar also exploded.
Elaine attacked farther away, and she was particularly irritable today, usually in charge of logistics.
Pick up that cutlass and throw it straight into the inventory, this weapon doesn't take up much space, you can put a lot of it.
It seems that no one has been here for a long time, and the explosion rate of the monsters here after death is very high, and Lu Changge has received three whiteboard equipment before he reaches the center of the town.
It's not a good piece of equipment, but it's better than nothing.
From the old site of the town of Tristem, it can be seen that it was once prosperous, the area is even no less than the current Rogue camp, and the style and size of the houses are no worse than that of the Rogue camp, which shows that the workers who built it at that time were also skilled craftsmen.
"There's movement over there."
Belatia reminded in a whisper, Lu Changge nodded, he had already seen the situation in the vicinity.
Five Nights.
He and the Moon clan both belong to the demon sheep clan, and the night clan is of a higher level, and the skin on his body is pure black.
However, the five Night Clans did not make three moves under the hands of Skeleton Four and Shadow Skeleton, and they all fell to the ground with a wail.
The crowd had approached the town of Tristem, and the temperature had risen a bit.
Not only the temperature, but even the irritable mood in the heart is also rising.
Sure enough, there is a remnant of hellish aura here, and it still feels like a high-level demonic aura.
"Don't indulge your resentment and irritability, for it will soon be corrupted by the breath of hell."
Lu Changge already has experience, after all, it has happened to him twice, if he follows the mood fluctuations in his heart, then he will soon be controlled by the breath of hell.
Hearing his words, Elaine also stopped and slowed down, and even Belatia, who was beside Lu Changge and was about to jump, took a few deep breaths.
Every house in the town was burning, but the flames didn't mean to be extinguished even after all this time.
Lu Changge and they didn't dare to touch it casually, if they touched a little bit of these things, they might be doomed.
The belongings of every household in the town are still in the same position as before they were destroyed, and the corpses that can be seen everywhere indicate that there are no living people in this place anymore.
Walking towards the center of the town, Lu Changge felt that they should be able to find something there.
There are many monsters in the town, blade demons, blade wizards, and even skeleton archers that have never been seen before.
These skeleton archers are similar in shape to those of the Stone Fields, with two curved horns on their heads, but they are only armed with a longbow.
There is a two-tiered fountain pool in the center of the town, and you can imagine how many people sang and danced here when it was prosperous, but now it is filled with blood.
Then Lu Changge saw three elite blade wizards, as well as a group of dozens of blade demons.
Two blue, one red, these blade wizards may not have seen their prey for a long time, as soon as Lu Changge and his party appeared, they shouted and instructed their blade demons to rush over.
Dealing with this kind of resurrected monster, Skeleton Three already had experience in dealing with it, and within a moment, there was a scream from the three elite-level blade wizards.
The many blade demons couldn't sense the presence of the leader's command, and they lost their formation in an instant, and they were killed by Skeleton Four and No. 1 and No. 2 together.
Premium spear (gray)
An invisible spear of the highest grade, 4-22 damage, and a 12% increase in durability, unfortunately, it is useless.
Throwing it into the inventory, Lu Changge probed the surrounding situation again.
However, even though he had already probed a large area, he still found no trace of Griswald.
In the game, the blacksmith, who has turned into a dark gold monster, is always roaming the outskirts of town.
Although he never explodes good things, what is even more infuriating is that his strong physique determines that he is fleshy and hard, and it is very difficult to deal with.
However, Lu Changge still decided to run around the town, after all, there was still Werther's corpse by the river, and his prosthetic leg was the key to opening the cow level.
He also wanted to find the monastery that Hradim had founded, although the church of Sakaram later rebuilt the cathedral on top of the ruins and summoned Diablo, which should still exist after being defeated by Aidan.
There are underground structures there, and there is no hint of information about Diablo, the king of destruction.
However, just as Lu Changge wanted to go around the town, a strong man in an orange shirt broke into his detection range.
