Chapter 30: The Cave at the Bottom of the Lake
Although there was a map to guide them, it took Chen Mo and Arelia several days to find the abandoned palace that the Ghost King had said.
It was a map from a hundred years ago, and after the baptism of purifying power, many things have changed, and they can't be compared with the guidance on the map at all.
In the end, the two of them still relied on Chen Mo to see the energy level of the purification power, and looked in the direction of high energy, and then they found the palace of the pit father.
It is said to be a palace, but in fact it is not far from a ruin.
Originally, the building material of the palace was hard stone containing dead air, which could not rot for thousands of years in the environment of the ghost domain, and it was difficult to urge external forces. But when the dead air is washed away, the material is not much stronger than ordinary rotten wood.
After a hundred years, the palace complex that originally covered a vast area is now only left with broken walls, and half of the past glory is gone.
"How to go?" asked Arelia as she looked at Chen Mo. These days, she knew that Chen Mo's eyes could see the color of ability.
"I'll lead the way. 」
Chen Mo said as he walked ahead, and Erelia followed behind him with her weapon in her hands.
Although these days, they haven't met a single ghost. But years of experience have taught her that the more times like this, the more careful she should be.
In Chen Mo's eyes, there was a kind of white light everywhere here, but Chen Mo didn't like it very much.
"It's too clean. Chen Mo led the way and said his feelings.
There are no ghosts, no living creatures, nothing clean.
"Well, be careful, it feels a little unusual to me here. Arelia didn't dare to relax.
The place where the white light is most dense is a lake in the center of the palace ruins.
Originally, the source of the clearest water was pressed under the palace by the ghost king array, but I didn't expect that a hundred years later, it had gathered into a lake.
Although the water of the lake is very clear, the big hole at the bottom of the lake is still black, and it is difficult to see the situation inside.
Chen Mo reached out and picked up some lake water and looked at it.
This water is the same as the spring water used in the Catman Village, but the energy response is much stronger, but Chen Mo doesn't think that this can be called the clearest water.
After discussing it with Arelia, the two decided to go into the water to investigate.
Chen Mo blessed the two of them with an underwater breathing technique, which allowed people to be in the water for a period of time, relying on the energy of the spell to transform oxygen to breathe.
After entering the water, the view from the water is extremely good, and even the ruins of buildings sunk in the water in the distance can be seen clearly. The water quality is comparable to distilled water, there are no impurities at all, and the buoyancy is extremely low, and the two of them walk quite smoothly under the water.
Just as he was approaching the big hole at the bottom of the lake, Elelia behind Chen Mo pulled him, and didn't know what he was gesturing.
Chen Mo thought about it, and then gave the two of them another soul connection spell.
As for Chen Mo's library, spells can be memorized as long as they are learned once, and they can be cast after a little time of study, and they are already proficient after a few times.
Therefore, Chen Mo usually collects a lot of spells, whether they are used or not, write them down first.
"Stop, I feel something moving nearby. 」
Arelia spoke from the telepathic connection.
Chen Mo stopped and expanded his spiritual force field to the maximum.
After planting the seeds of the Tree of Eternity and the Tree of Primordialness, Chen Mo's current spiritual power expanded and grew at a speed of 0.2 meters a day. Coupled with the previous accumulation, the radius of Chen Mo's spiritual force field is now close to about twelve meters.
In other words, the regular strength of spiritual power is about 120 kilograms, and the mana is increased by nearly 12 times (referring to the fact that spells increase the amount of mana burned by adjusting the spiritual resonance, which will be collectively referred to as mana amplification [PS]).
Chen Mo stood silent for a moment, then shook his head at Arelia, indicating that he was unaware.
But Chen Mo didn't let up either.
Twelve meters is not a short distance, but it is not that long. Beyond this range, Chen Mo was completely blind, so he didn't dare to judge easily.
Chen Mo made a gesture, and the two slowly moved forward again.
The large cavern at the bottom of the lake slopes downward, and there seems to be a glimmer of light in the depths. Chen Mo used the illumination technique to create a ball of light in his hand, and then began to walk down.
There are some ruins in the cave, and it can be seen that this was the underground building of the Ghost King's Palace, but now it has collapsed a lot, and the passage to the other rooms has been blocked, and only the cave where the water source keeps coming out can still be passed.
After entering a certain depth, the rock walls around the cave are full of spars that emit white light, although the light is not strong, but it is enough for lighting.
"It's ...... Energy crystallization, right?" Chen Mo asked Arelia, who had seen similar objects on Raman's side.
"Well, it's not a high grade, but it's worth a lot more than the same amount of gold. 」
Although Arelia is a knight, she doesn't need to spend money to eat, live, and practice. Suddenly seeing a treasure appear in front of him, he naturally felt quite amazed.
Chen Mo's spending on medicine in the past month is not small, but he didn't expect to earn a small amount of extra money to subsidize this trip, so he was naturally a little happy.
It's just that when Chen Mo wanted to take the crystal, his mental force field felt a sudden change in the water flow nearby, so the outstretched hand retreated to block Arelia's chest.
"There's something. 」
In this lake, Chen Mo obviously didn't see any fish, but the water flow nearby just now stirred strangely.
After waiting for a while, the surroundings were still the same calm, and Chen Mo stretched out his hand again.
But this time, the surrounding water suddenly squeezed towards the two of them.
Prepared, Arelia stepped forward, stomped her right foot into the rock, and then with amazing strange force, she used the greatsword in her hand as a fan to slam left and right in the water, pushing the squeezed water back.
At the same time, Chen Mo stepped back, using his spiritual power to fix himself in the turbulent current, and kept a certain distance from those energy crystals.
When the current calmed down, there were no further signs of attack in the surrounding area.
"I will go, and the water will become fine. 」
"Probably spiritual water, no wonder I felt it but never noticed it. 」
"Just two moves, how do you feel?"
"They're not very powerful, so they're easy to deal with. It's just that the feeling of my attack is just ordinary water, and I can't determine what level of damage is done, and it's likely that there is no damage at all. 」
"It's a nuisance, but they don't seem to be very aggressive, so let's take a detour to avoid those crystals. 」
"Agreed. 」
Although neither of them wanted to provoke these unknown beings, the further they went, the more energy crystals existed, and after all, they still inevitably caused the other party's attack.
However, Chen Mo and Arelia both chose to carry the attack and quickly advanced all the way.
"Shield!"
The water that came over the attack, the means were very monotonous, and the strength was not strong, and Chen Mo alone could be called for a long time with a shield technique. It's just that as the two of them go deeper and deeper, the situation begins to be difficult to deal with.
In front of the eyes of the two of them, Qing Shui condensed into a large white translucent python, about the thickness of Chen Mo's thighs and six or seven meters long.
The point is that there is not just one thing, but a large group slowly condensed out of the water.
"Elemental creatures, or psionic creatures?" Chen Mo thought back to the books in the library.
"It's okay to fix them first. 」
With a swing of her greatsword, Arelia slashed the approaching white pythons.
It's just that although the white python that was cut off changed back to clear water, more white pythons immediately emerged from the water, and they couldn't be killed at all.
"Ice Spell!"
Chen Mo cast a group ice spell to freeze the white python, which slowed down the opponent's attack.
It's just that the purifying power attached to the other party's body can remove all bad states from oneself. Not long after Chen Mo's ice froze, the white python broke free from the ice.
Chen Mo and Arelia took advantage of the fact that the white python was frozen and walked through the gap, but it was not a way to go on like this.
"Follow me!"
Chen Mo's spiritual force field found a place and immediately beckoned Arelia to follow him.
The two of them scurried along the rocks, and suddenly rushed out of the water and rushed to the rocky shore.
The white python didn't seem to be able to get out of the water, so it didn't continue to catch up.
"This is ......"
Chen Mo looked around, the cave was not big, stretched upward, and there were crystalline clusters of energy crystals everywhere, much larger than what he saw in the water.
At the upper end of the cavern, a thin stream of water meanders down and finally sinks into the lower water.
"This should be the clearest water, right?"
In Chen Mo's eyes, the white light in the water was dazzling like the sun, making him hurriedly withdraw the ability in his eyes.
"Well, it's a very purifying power. 」
Arelia dipped her fingers in the water, and a tingling sensation came from her fingers.
Chen Mo also touched it, and it felt like he had touched concentrated sulfuric acid.
Purification and corrosion, in fact, are very similar phenomena, but the object of action is different.
Perhaps human beings are just a foreign object to be purified of this supreme water.
"That, above there, what could there be......
PS:
Chen Mo's mana source quality is too low, no matter how high the increase in mana power is, the damage he deals is limited.
If the mana essentia is calculated based on the bronze limit of 999, then Zhao Ling'er's mana essentia is more than 900, and Chen Mo's mana essentia that has undergone a qualitative change is about 10.
In the case of the fire spell, if the base damage is 10, calculated based on Zhao Ling'er's mana increase of 3, then the spell damage caused theoretically is 10*900*3=27000
And Chen Mo's mana increase of 12 is 10*10*12=1200
Of course, this is only a rough estimate for your reference.
