517 Giant Village
The Chamber of Secrets, located below the Giant's Village Square, requires access through a passage through the stone wall of the valley north of the village.
More than 1,000 meters underground, the tunnel, with a height of 20 meters, was clearly built for the passage of giants.
But the ingenious and ineffective defense almost caused Raymond to be crushed by the boulder, and Raymond was amazed by the skill of these giants.
The ingenious mechanism, which relies on an extremely simple rune array to activate the operation, but this kind of rune array that has no protective measures is set up, and after activating the mechanism, Raymond finds its location and makes a simple inspection.
Several large stone pillars hidden in the side walls of the passage are fixed according to a certain pattern, and after being dug out by Raymond, there are still faint streamers shining on them, and the core of their energy is located at the base of the stone pillars.
I don't know how many years have passed, the energy structure that can still operate is obviously different from any rune structure that Raymond has ever seen, although it looks simple and rough, but it has an extremely effective effect, and the energy supply that is set at the bottom of the stone pillar is also a spar that Raymond is familiar with.
However, the sheer size of the hedron that existed when this mechanism was activated made Raymond stunned.
Although it was only an ordinary medium spar, this huge spar with a diameter of more than two meters that was buried under the stone pillar without processing made Raymond extremely speechless and regretful in terms of volume.
The entire three hedron of this magnitude had almost disintegrated and collapsed on their own due to the passage of time, but in the end, with the small amount of energy remaining in their huge size, the mechanism in the passage still activated.
Fortunately, the purpose of this mechanism is to prevent the giants from breaking in, so it is a narrow passage for the giants, but it is very spacious for Raymond, so the activation of the three mechanisms only frightened Raymond a little, but he was not injured by it.
An underground passage simply to prevent giants from entering. It looked extremely rough, but the setting of the three mechanisms made Raymond very impressed, with the previous technique of using the special use of probing the underground situation, Raymond understood that this was indeed just a giant village that had been abandoned for a long time.
Following the massive passage that sloped downward, Raymond finally came to the chamber beneath the village square, where he saw what the giants wanted to protect.
Huge raw ore crystals, relatively delicate stone weapons, and some rare demonic beast cores, the most surprising thing for Raymond was the stone book written by the giant in this secret room.
And on top of the walls of the secret chamber up to a hundred meters wide. It was painted with a large number of brightly colored and exquisite murals, but after Raymond opened the door of the secret room, the original colorful murals were quickly faded and peeled off.
But after entering this secret room, Raymond cast the "Wizard's Eye" spell, or through the chip's recording ability. Visualizing everything in the room allowed him to see what it was like in its original form.
Giant text with simple lines. The chip is illegible.
But the frescoes that are painted on the walls and overhead. But Raymond can understand a little bit about the past of this giant village.
This tribe of giants, who migrated from far away, originally had hundreds of people, but during their long migration journey, they were blocked by demonic beasts and harsh environments, and finally lost many of their clansmen when they arrived.
Less than fifty giants were left to settle here, and among them were strong adult giants. Most of them were injured or fallen along the way.
After many years of slow recovery, this giant village began to flourish, and the number of people reached hundreds, but the powerful demonic beasts came from the west. But it has become a threat to their survival.
In the last part of the mural that has not been painted, it looks like a huge toad-like monster, with layers of bulges on its limbs and body, like a poisonous sac, and it not only has a huge size far beyond the giant, but also is depicted with a large black phantom on its back, as if there is a dense strange thing.
Only the unpainted mural on the small half of the wall came to an abrupt end, but after the chip simulated the mural according to the line that appeared behind, Raymond saw the proportions of the monster to the giant.
If the giant is fifteen meters tall, then this huge demonic beast is more than three hundred meters tall, and the dense phantom on its back is also very similar to the appearance of a young frog and a large number of frog eggs.
The mural, which was not fully painted, showed Raymond such a process after the chip had analyzed and sorted out the order.
But judging by the fact that the secret room of the giant clan in front of him was well preserved, these giants living in the village should have been attacked by a surprise attack, and they all evacuated here before they even had time to carry some of the most important things in their clan.
Or, under the attack of this huge demonic beast, the giant clan living here has been completely wiped out, and there is no chance to escape.
The truth restored through the frescoes can only be a guess, but Raymond believes that a tragedy must have occurred here in that long past.
However, in terms of the scenes shown on these murals, the place only a hundred kilometers away from this giant village should be the location of the Endless Abyss, but when the Giants lived here, it was not the Endless Abyss, but a flat field.
Immediately asked the chip to analyze the terrain involved in the mural, and soon Raymond came to a conclusion that shocked him!
The endless abyss, which does not know how deep the abyss is, and the thunderbirds that live on the stone walls of the abyss, did not exist when the giants lived here.
According to the time when the Giants had lived here, the location of the Endless Abyss was flat land at that time, and the 20,000-meter-high mountain range that Raymond fled from did not have such a huge mountain.
The information he saw made Raymond frown, but according to the information displayed in the mural, it confirmed his previous speculation about the Endless Abyss and the huge mountain range.
Things like the giant runes that were built specifically for the Flying Clan, the endless abyss that appeared to protect the area from being disturbed, the high levels of radiation and the mutated creatures in that area, all of them had traces of man-made.
Raymond, who didn't continue to think about it, buried this creepy thought in his heart, and began to quickly check the entire secret room,
The huge five-meter-high stone chest contained some hides that had turned into dust, and some extremely thick beast bones, apparently carefully preserved as trophies of the giants.
However, most of the artifacts kept in this secret room were made of stone, and Raymond felt disappointed after inspecting more than a dozen stone boxes.
Many things were of no value to him, and the huge raw ore hedron was not something he could move away at the moment.
The book made of stone tablets was only more than ten pages, but the text inside was not damaged in any way, but the chip collected the words of hundreds of giants.
The only thing that interested Raymond was the Monster Heart Cores contained in the two stone chests, thousands of which were sealed with grease and beeswax, and still retained their manic and huge energy aura, and Raymond could not judge the type of Heart Core of a huge part of it.
So many demonic beast heart cores, especially those that can't distinguish the types but have an inexplicable aura, are all precious materials for wizards to conduct research or make high-level magic weapons, but it is impossible to take away so many heart cores Raymond can only choose two of them in the end and stuff them into his pocket.
These materials of great value made Raymond, who could not carry them, deeply regret, and in the end, he could only re-seal the secret room of the giant clan after careful inspection, and wait for the opportunity to come back in the future.
But Raymond, who had rested in this secret room for a week, made up for the mana he consumed when he left the endless abyss, and finally adjusted his state to the best, and then left this giant village hidden in the valley...... (To be continued......)
