Chapter 148: The Ancient Book of Hades
With that roar, countless well-preserved corpses began to fall apart at this moment. Almost instantly, the corpses of many monsters were shattered and fell to the bottom of the lake.
And Ace, who was in a coma, floated to a corner of the lake under the protection of the red light.
"Don't go in! No one is allowed to go in!"
The sound was like madness, and the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake was turbulent, trying to stop Ace's body from moving forward.
But all in vain. Even though the undercurrent is large, Ace's forward speed is not affected in any way.
Soon, Ace's body fell to the bottom of the lake. The moment he touched the bottom of the lake, a crack suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake, which quickly sucked Ace into the lake.
This time, a low growl, "No!"
But Ace was engulfed in the crack, and the crack disappeared in an instant.
After entering the crack, come to a large cave.
It is very bright and there is no lake inflow. Even though there was a crack in the roof of the cave just now, the lake was blocked by some invisible force outside the cave.
It's just that Ace hasn't woken up yet.
As time passed, he slowly fell to the bottom of the cave.
It took a long time for Ace to wake up.
He thought he was going to die today, but unexpectedly, he somehow escaped death and entered this mysterious cave.
At this time, he remembered that when he was chased by a dark mage in the mountains of the Warcraft Mountain Range, he also fell into the lake and finally escaped from the pursuit.
Ace also had to sigh, "It seems that God doesn't want me to die like this!"
Ace stood up and looked around. He found nine huge glowing stones inside the cave, illuminating the entire cave.
"Where is this?" Ace didn't know how he got to this cave.
However, in the center of the cave, there is a raised platform on which an ancient book rests.
Ace slowly walked to the podium and found the Hades logo painted on the cover of the book.
After hesitating for a moment, Ace reached for the ancient book, which seemed to have nothing special except for the cover.
When Ace came into contact with the ancient book, he was shocked. The whole person trembled, and instinctively retracted his hand.
Ace looked at his blackened fingers and frowned.
"Since it brought me here, and there's only such a mysterious ancient book here, why don't you let me take it?" Ace couldn't help but ponder.
He circled the stone pillar twice and found nothing unusual.
"What the hell is going on?" Ace still didn't understand.
At this point, his eyes captured a blurry image that felt very familiar.
He turned his head to look and saw what appeared to be a very blurry image on the glowing stone not far away.
He got closer and saw that there were lines that resembled lightning bolts.
"Is this a lightning point?" Ace had an idea in mind.
He hurried to find the other glowing stones and began to study them carefully.
"Is this the sea?"
"It's like a tornado!"
"It's a mountain. It should represent the earth element."
"It's flames!"
"This should be the Light!"
......
Ace had seen every glowing stone here.
Water, electricity, fire, wind, earth, holy light, darkness, a mass of yarn and mysterious white holes intertwined in countless straight lines. These nine elements correspond exactly to the pattern on Hades' coat of arms.
Ace looked around and noticed that the location of the glowing stones did not seem to be at the same as the position on the emblem.
He crouched down and soon noticed numerous inconspicuous grooves in the ground.
"This should be the corresponding trajectory, if I restore these glowing stones to their corresponding positions on the emblem, can I take that ancient book away?" Ace thought of this and immediately began to plan carefully.
He originally thought it wasn't that hard at all. All that is required is to base on the emblem
The location of the Luminous Stone was restored piece by piece.
However, when he actually started pushing for the glowing stone, he found that the problem was not as simple as he thought.
Because every time he pushes a glowing stone, the other seven glowing stones will also move, which makes Ace feel a little troublesome.
After nearly an hour of careful research, Ace finally found the relationship between the glowing stones.
He then succeeded in restoring the nine glowing stones to their original positions.
When he pushed the last glowing stone into its proper position, Ace knew that his guess was absolutely correct.
Because the light of the luminous stone has changed from the original light yellow to blue.
The entire cave is covered with a gorgeous blue light and looks very majestic.
In the tiny trail below, a faint blue light was emitted, forming an ancient and mysterious rune.
Ace walked to the side of the platform with trepidation, and then reached out again to touch the mysterious ancient book.
This time, Ace was mentally prepared. If he is electrocuted again, it is an indication that he may have missed something.
When Ace touched the corner of the book, he didn't feel any anomalies or electric shocks.
With that, Ace picked up the book.
He looked at the badge on the cover and gently wiped it with his hand. But there seems to be no dust at all.
Nervous, Ace took a few deep breaths before preparing to open the mysterious ancient book.
He can't be blamed for being so nervous. After all, this is an ancient book left by Hades, the king of Hades. Something recorded in it must be special. Otherwise, how could he hide in such a mysterious cave and set up such complex levels?
However, when Ace tries to open the magical book, he finds that he can't open it at all.
Ace was a little confused, and then he increased the strength of his hands, and his face turned red, but he still couldn't open the mysterious ancient book.
"Why can't you open it?" Ace was confused.
He made great efforts to come to this cave, and finally obtained this magical ancient book left by Hades, the king of Hades. Finally, he found that the ancient book could not be opened?
How could this not make him feel anxious?
Ace read the ancient book several times over and over again, but still couldn't see any clues.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up for the time being.
Ace looked at the huge cave and circled it several times, but couldn't find an exit.
What makes Ace even more strange is that in such a large cave, there is only such an ancient book that cannot be opened, which is really unreasonable.
"How am I going to get out?" Ace looked around, and his gaze quickly fell on the central platform.
He found the location of this high platform to be very special, not only in the center of the entire cave, but also as the key to the blue ancient runes under his feet.
"Does the export have anything to do with this high platform?" Ace thought about it and returned to the high platform.
Ace fumbled back and forth on the high platform for a long time, and finally found a very inconspicuous fragment. He pressed it gently, and the whole person disappeared to the bottom of the lake along with the cave in an instant.
Before Ace could recover, he found himself back at the bottom of Moonlight Lake.
However, this time he was surprised to find that he didn't need a water shield at all and could breathe freely in the water.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, Ace just wanted to get back to the lake as soon as possible, as the water here was too cold and he didn't want to stay any longer.
Just as Ace was about to swim quickly to the edge of the lake, a low, terrifying voice sounded in his ears again: "Put the ancient book down for me!"
Ace looked into the darkness in the distance and soon saw a pair of dark green pillars of light.
Just when Ace wanted to know what the green light was, a green mass appeared under the green light, and such a dense and green mass felt a little disgusting.
At this time, Ace finally knew what this was, it was a certain reproductive organ of a certain plant.
"What kind of monster is this? It's too big!" Ace estimated the monster's head at least
There are several hundred meters high. In front of this thing, he was like an insignificant ant.
The monster roared again, "Put the ancient book down for me, and I'll get you out of here alive!"
Ace looked at the ancient book in his hand, then at the huge thing in the shadows in front of him. Finally, he shook his head firmly and said, "Impossible!"
Ace said this, and immediately held the ancient book that could not be opened, and quickly swam to the surface.
"In that case, you'll die here!" The monsters at the bottom of the lake roared.
At the same time, a large number of rocks at the bottom of the lake began to crack and fall off, and countless bubbles rose.
For a time, these dense bubbles blocked Ace's vision, preventing him from seeing the scene in front of him.
But Ace just wanted to get out of Moonlight Lake as soon as possible, and he didn't want to linger here for too long.
However, shortly after Ace went up against the current, he felt as if his feet were firmly entangled in something.
He quickly looked down and saw a clump of green plants wrapped tightly around his ankle.
Ace subconsciously waved the dagger in his hand. The plant seems to be aware of the danger and immediately retracts.
But when Ace withdrew the dagger, the plant rolled up towards him again.
He also rolled up the cracked rocks at the bottom of the lake and smashed them into Ace.
Although he is now in the lake, once hit by these powerful boulders, Ace will definitely be seriously injured.
Although the line of sight is not very good at this time, Ace's perception ability is very strong. Judging from the sound of the water, he should have no less than 20 boulders aimed at him at this time.
"Die!"
The underwater monster roared, and then saw a large number of boulders speeding towards Ace.
Ace's pupils suddenly constricted, and if he continued to advance at his current speed, he would be injured by a boulder.
He immediately recited the incantation, and the dark magic in his body surged rapidly. He used "Extreme Speed" ten times in a row, and his body moved upwards by more than 100 meters at once.
But even so, the huge stones were still getting closer and closer to him.
Seeing that he couldn't escape the pursuit of the boulder in a short period of time, Ace quickly took out the magic scroll of the Holy Light system from his chest.
He gently shredded the scroll, and a huge shield of holy light appeared beneath his body, protecting Ace behind him.
With a click, the shield of light was directly smashed by the boulder and turned into starlight.
Ace quickly took out another magic scroll, which was an ice-type high-level magic scroll.
Ace immediately tore it apart, and then the lake water within ten meters of his body began to condense rapidly, and he was about to trap Ace inside.
With a "speed", Ace escaped from the condensation and continued to walk on the surface of the lake.
The muffled crashing sound continued to come from below, and Ace knew very well that the huge ice that had formed by the condensation would not stop for long.
Just as he was about to use the magic scroll again to speed up his swimming, he suddenly felt a cold and fierce aura coming from behind, making him tremble all over.
He didn't dare to look back, but he could feel a tremendous momentum.
Just as the terrible smell was about to touch Ace's back, he suddenly heard a scream and a shrill cry.
Ace couldn't help but look down and found himself surrounded by countless thick green vines. These vines are similar to seaweed, but not identical, but more like a myriad of soft and strong tentacles.
At this time, he felt that the ancient book on his arm that could not be opened was a little hot, and at the same time, countless strange runes were released.
Those runes seemed to have eyes, shooting directly at the surrounding vines.
When the rune touches the vineman, the monster at the bottom of the lake howls in pain.
Although Ace didn't understand the purpose of these runes, it was clear that the monster was very afraid of the ancient book on his arm, and these vinemen soon did not dare to continue the pursuit.
"You must die here today!"
The monster let out a thunderous roar.
The entire Moonlight Lake began to tremble violently at this time, even the elemental envoy guards stationed on the shore of the lake
Inability to stand.
Jennifer hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Simon replied, "I don't know what's going on, but at least there's something moving at the bottom of the lake, which means Ace isn't dead!"
Jennifer happily ran out of the army's tent, and Simon hurried away with her.
When the two of them came outside, they saw a very spectacular and terrifying scene.
The water around Moonlight Lake swells up at this time, forming a huge shock current that converges into the central area and then washes into the center of the lake at high speed.
They don't know what's going on.
Even Zialo, who had been stationed here for three years, was completely shocked by what he saw.
Because in the past three years, he had never seen a similar anomalous scene in Moonlight Lake.
At this time, Ace suffered a lot.
Because at this time the lake began to wash from top to bottom, it was impossible for him to continue upstream, so he could only try to maintain the original depth.
The monster under the water shouted with a grim smile, "Do you want to escape? Stop dreaming!"
Luckily, Ace somehow learns to breathe underwater. Even if he stayed in the water for a long time, there was no shortage of oxygen.
In addition, the underwater monsters were extremely afraid of the ancient book in Ace's hand, and countless vines did not dare to approach Ace.
But that's not a good way to do it. Ace immediately began to think about countermeasures.
He watched as the huge water rushed down overhead, watching the mysterious monsters underwater.
Ace looked around and saw that there seemed to be only a huge rapids overhead. From the surrounding area, there is a downward current.
Suddenly, Ace had a very bold idea.
He suddenly turned around and swam towards the bottom of the lake in the direction of the impact of the massive current.
Due to the violent impact of the water behind him, Ace swam very fast.
The monster didn't know that Ace would suddenly change direction, but he quickly opened his mouth and waited for Ace to throw himself into the net.
Ace blocked the ancient book with his hand, and those strange runes began to appear again.
The monsters at the bottom of the lake screamed and retreated to the bottom of the lake.
At that moment, Ace used "Extreme Speed" to teleportation to the reflux position, and then immediately crushed the "Torrent" scroll, and the whole person quickly moved to the surface of the lake with the help of the flow of the lake.
After using the top speed more than 20 times in a row, Ace finally saw the faint light on the surface of the lake.
It all happened so quickly, so suddenly, that the monster didn't react at all.
By the time it reacted, Ace had already rushed out of the water.
It roared, "No!"
The position of the scouring stream immediately changed, moving towards Ace's position, but it was too late.
Ace flies out of the water!
At the moment when Ace rushed out of the water, the huge waves that had been surging in the Moonlight Lake seemed to suddenly lose control and quickly fall into the lake.
At the same time, a huge wave centered on Moonlight Lake unfolded in all directions.
The towering trees around it were blown east-west, and the elements not far away caused the camp to be completely destroyed at this moment.
Many unsuspecting elements made it to be knocked down by this powerful impact and fall on the grass in the distance.
Simon's response was relatively timely. At the most critical moment, he turned into an earth elemental wall, perfectly protecting Jennifer.
Fortunately, it was summer and the vegetation was lush, so the elements that fell on the grass did not hurt.
The moment Ace left the water, he realized that the ancient book in his hand had inexplicably disappeared, and a bracelet appeared on his arm.
He felt it at once, and immediately understood that the vanished cave was now in his bracelet, and the mysterious ancient book that had never been opened was back on the high platform.
Although Ace didn't quite understand what all this was all about, the ancient book was not lost, and a small space bracelet was added that could be used to store a large number of items. Ace was naturally very pleased with this unexpected joy.
"This time, I not only managed to escape death, but I also gained a lot, which was a real surprise
!」 Ace sighed, and his figure quickly fell to Simon's side.
At this point, Simon became an elemental envoy again. He looked at Ace in surprise, "What's going on here? What's in the lake?"
Ace could only shake his head, "I really don't know what that thing is called, but it's very powerful, unimaginably powerful."
At this point, Simon has some experience. He was able to make a powerful magister cry of despair and send waves through the entire Moonlight Lake. That in itself is enough to say how terrible the presence in the water is.
Jennifer happily said, "Anyway, you've come back safely, that's the most important thing!"
Ace smiled as well and said, "Well, that's true!"
At this time, Zialo ran over from the grass. He was angry, pointed at Ace from afar, and swore, "Human! You must be responsible for all the losses here."
Ace looked at the unseemly elemental envoy camp not far away, and smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, I'll be responsible for everything that happens here."
At this time, Ace had just narrowly escaped death, and he naturally didn't want to argue with Zialo at this time.
"But there's one more thing left undone." Ace said as he looked at Moonlight Lake, which had regained its calm.
Simon seemed to have guessed and couldn't help but say, "It's okay, you can rest first, it's too dangerous in the lake."
Ace smiled bitterly, then looked at the sky: "It's getting late, it is estimated that it will be dark in two hours, let's spend the night here first."
Zialo said angrily, "The barracks have been destroyed by you, where are we going to stay?"
Jennifer said with some displeasure, "These are just tents. Why are you so demanding? I will explain it to my father personally. You can rest assured that you don't have to take any responsibility."
Zialo glanced at Ace twice, then snorted coldly and walked away.
Ace hurriedly said, "You can't blame him, after all, it's really because of me, since all the facilities in the barracks have been destroyed by me, I naturally need to be responsible."
"Don't worry about these issues now, we'd better fix them as soon as possible," Simon said.
Ace looked around and said, "The fluorite around the barracks is still there, so let's spend the night in the original barracks."
Simon thought for a moment and nodded.
In this way, Ace and the others set up a campfire on the old position of the barracks, preparing to spend the night here.
The ancient forest was a little cold at night, and Ace took out the mysterious ancient book that could not be opened again.
However, after a long and repeated research, he still couldn't find any clues.
"How the hell am I going to open this ancient book?" Ace was worried for a moment.
Now, he has access to the ancient book of the Holy Lake, which means that the map has lost its meaning.
Then, the next step is to head to the Pacific Ocean and explore the cliffs there.
In the Land of Origin of the Dwarven Kingdom, there is a language carved in the language of dragons, and Ace believes that this sentence must have its effect. The cliffs of the Pacific Ocean undoubtedly have a special connection to Hades, the king of Hades.
While Ace was meditating, he suddenly felt his body suddenly brighten.
He couldn't help but turn his head and see that the light was coming from Moonlight Lake.
Ace frowned.
After today's events, Ace became more and more afraid of the Elemental Messenger's Sacred Lake.
After all, the monsters at the bottom of the lake are too terrible to compete with at all.
Therefore, Ace's first reaction when he saw the bright light from the Moonlight Lake was to remain vigilant, fearing that the monsters at the bottom of the lake would come out again to cause trouble.
However, after observing for a while, Ace did not find any danger signs.
Curiosity led him to his feet and slowly walked towards the shores of Moonlight Lake.
When Ace came to the shore and looked into the lake, he was surprised to see that many black horror vines were glowing light blue and slowly floating on the surface of the lake.
Those vines are broken. The moment they touch the lake, they completely melt and become blue essences that merge into the lake.
"This is, this is the monster's Fujiman?" Ace thought it was a bit strange.
This thing seems to be able to take various forms. The last time Ace saw the monster, it was a huge and terrifying shape, resembling a plant.
"Is the monster really dead?" Ace couldn't help but guess.
However, today's Ace is no longer the ignorant teenager who was terrified of everything a few years ago. Now he is becoming more and more cautious.
Even after seeing that the monster had begun to fall apart, Ace was still not sure that the monster was dead.
Ace boldly crouched down and stirred the water with his hands. He found the water cool and comfortable.
"What a mighty lake!" Ace couldn't help but sigh.
The water of Moonlight Lake seems to be undergoing some changes to become purer and stronger.
