Chapter 75: The Amazing Discovery of Star Lake Exploration!
The surface of the Star Lake looks clear and transparent, but at the bottom, there is a thick layer of dirty silt.
Eslian stepped lightly on the bottom of the lake, and above the silt, the water condensed into a crystal of ice for her to settle on.
The high concentration of magical water in the lake makes it a forbidden area for life.
No, that's not entirely true.
Ace looked into the distance, and in the direction of the center of the Star Lake, a faint light appeared.
The light swayed, and it seemed to be some kind of aquatic weed.
Are the plants that can survive and grow in this environment......
Ace had this thought in her mind, and then raised her foot and headed towards the center of the lake.
The more she walked towards the center of the star lake, the brighter the water surface became, and soon, Ace's eyes appeared the aquatic plants that provided the light source for the bottom of the dark lake.
Their appearance is almost indistinguishable from that of normal algae, except that they glow red throughout.
Among these algae, there is a small fish that is thinner than a human thumb swimming slowly, and some of them are still eating algae, as if these red algae are their source of food.
Ace's arrival alarmed the attention of these small fish, whose flesh was translucent and reddish, and could be faintly seen in the fish bones and internal organs, and they fled in a panic, and after a while, they disappeared without a trace.
Ace raised her hand and looked at the three translucent red fish in her hand, frozen in ice crystals.
There was still panic in their eyes, but now, they were completely frozen by the ice.
This is what Ace caught before these magical little reddish fish disappeared.
After scrutinizing it for a while, and feeling it carefully, Ace nodded slightly.
From the bodies of these three small pale red fish, she felt a relatively gentle fluctuation of magical power.
This form of magic has some similarities with Douqi, but it is not the same, and it is inseparable from the special environment at the bottom of the Star Lake.
If you feed Roy, it should be able to help him in his vindictive cultivation, right?
This thought came to Ace's mind, and immediately, her mind moved, and above the silt, the lake began to freeze, spreading to form a small ice crystal tree, and the ice crystals that were frozen with three small pale red fish hung on the ice crystal tree as Ace let go.
Considering that she would have to go to the dangerous Star Lake Center to explore, and was worried that this "fragile but nutritious" small fish would be affected and damaged, Ace simply put the three small fish she caught here first, and then catch more after exploring the Star Lake Center and take them away.
After handling the small pale red fish, Ace continued towards the center of the lake.
The number of red algae around her became more and more abundant, and when she arrived not far from the center of Star Lake, Ace was shocked by the scene that appeared in front of her.
Eight thick metal pillars with a diameter of one meter and a height of nearly twenty meters form the shape of a ring, connected to each other by thick chains.
As if it had been immersed in water for many years, the eight huge metal pillars had large greenish-brown rust stains on their surfaces, obscuring the lines carved on them.
At the base of these metal columns is a dark silver metal platform, centered on a small crimson slit that emerges from the center of the platform, spreading out spider web-like red veins.
"Gollum ......"
It was like the rhythm of breathing, coming from the crimson cracks, and with each rhythm, a large stream of crimson magic gushed out of it and merged into the lake.
This is the root cause of the magic in the entire Star Lake when the Harvest Festival is approaching!
"Magical items, I guess it's sealed here......"
The look of surprise in her eyes gradually subsided, and Ace thought secretly in her heart.
The arrangement of these eight giant metal pillars gave her the feeling of a sealing array.
It takes such a big battle to seal a magic item, what kind of power does this magic item contain?
Magical items, Ace has not been touched.
The Cursed Doll is a magical item she obtained "accidentally" before she met Roy.
Although for some reason, Ace herself can't use the "Cursed Doll", only Yelena can use it, but she can feel that the total amount of magic contained in the "Cursed Doll" itself is about the same as her.
And these eight giant metal pillars at the bottom of the Star Lake, not to mention anything else, the sheer mass alone is so big that it frightens people to death.
Even if it's a golden knight, it is estimated that it will not be able to shake any of them.
Plus the effect of the sealing array......
With such an exaggerated handwriting, does it really take this level to seal a magical item?
Ace was puzzled.
But she has come and gone, she has no reason to retreat, not to mention, she has been promoted to the "crown", her strength has long been different from what it used to be, even if she encounters danger, I believe it is enough to deal with it.
All the way to the dark silver platform, Ace was on high alert, but to her surprise, there was no movement except for the spread of the magical lake.
Getting closer, Ace could see more clearly the intricate patterns carved on the surface of the eight metal pillars.
Ace didn't know much about the sealing array, but she had heard that the temple's research on the sealing array was very exquisite, and the witch controllers used to control the witch's forcible service seemed to be miniature variant sealing arrays.
Here, is it also related to the temple?
With this speculation in mind, Ace became more and more cautious in her heart.
After stepping onto the dark silver metal platform, the concentration of magic in the lake water suddenly increased, and as the Ice Witch, Ace could faintly feel the burning sensation coming from the surface of her skin.
You know, now she is in a state of "crown elementalization", which can make her feel scorching, and the temperature here may reach more than 1,000 degrees.
But strangely, under such high temperatures, the lake water did not boil, but maintained its original form.
Perhaps, it's the effect of this sealing array?
After observing the eight giant metal pillars, Ace set her eyes on the crimson crack in the center of the platform, which was no bigger than a palm.
The extremely rich crimson made it impossible for Ace to see the scene behind the crack, but combined with the scene here, and the information that Star Lake only changes every time the Harvest Festival, she made a deduce in her heart.
This giant metal pillar sealing array buried at the bottom of the Star Lake, perhaps because it has existed for too long, or for some other reason, every year from the week before the Harvest Festival, there will be a "Sealing Gap", and the closer to the Harvest Festival, the larger the opening of the "Sealing Crack" becomes, and this "Sealing Gap" will not be closed again until the Harvest Festival has passed.
And the anomaly of Star Lake is caused by the magic power leaking from the "Seal Gap".
Presumably, what Roy said, the target of the second prince, the unknown magic item, is located behind this "sealing gap"!
