Chapter 48: Level 2 Unfolding
Diarlando stood on the ladder and took a closer look, the ash with a slight difference in color was now divided into six layers, which corresponded to the clues he had found on the ground before, he tried to write down the distribution of each ring, and then jumped off the ladder and went straight to the goal.
"Rain, shovel!" and as he asked, the rain came again. He waded through the muddy water to quickly sweep away the ashes from the disc on the ground, and then began to rotate the disc in the same concentric circle layout he had just seen.
At first he turned from the inside out, but when it was all over, nothing changed when the sound of a series of gear rolls around the room. In the end, he had to break the order and turn it from the inside to the outside again.
This time, when he turned the center of the circle in the middle, there was a crisp "dang" sound from the ground, and then the ring close to the center of the circle popped out a finger height. So he hurriedly turned the second layer according to the prompts. There was another "dang" sound, and this time the third lap also bounced out, which was also a finger higher than the second lap.
He did the same, and quickly placed all six floors in place, and the entire metal disc had protruded from the ground like a handle, but each ring could not be taken down, and therefore could not be placed in the corresponding slot on the roof, and it was obvious that there were still some necessary steps to be done.
After trying to rotate the disc from side to side, he pulled it upwards with all his might, pulling the thing completely out of the ground, revealing that under the disc was a metal rod resembling a key.
The surrounding muddy water began to flow into the hole, and when enough muddy water flowed down. The rings and grooves at the four corners of the roof made a noise and sunken down.
Dearrando saw that the sunken parts had obviously been thrown into his hand by throwing the large key in his hand, and hurriedly ran to the corner of the smallest ring slot with the chair and the key, and stuffed the key into the lock hole.
But a new problem appeared in front of him, and after checking it out, nothing happened again, so he had to try to turn left and right, and he also heard all kinds of clicking sounds, but according to the previous experience, it was obvious that this was not open.
He estimated that about half of the time had passed. What are the conditions for this key to be opened? The familiar sound of "dang" sounded again. When he pulled out the key in his hand, he realized that the smallest ring was already embedded in the wall, and it was clearly a success.
"Strange...... How the hell did it open?" he dragged the ladder and key to the next corner, thinking about what he had done in the end. It seems that I turned the key to the left ninety degrees first. Then I turned two sixty degrees to the right. Finally I turned left quite a bit. Now estimate that it is one hundred and fifty degrees.
There is a 90-degree division, two 60-degree divisions, and 5 30-degree divisions on this ring, so can the direction and order of rotation correspond to those on the ring?
Running to the second corner, he immediately tried it according to his vision. The rings of this layer are 60 degrees, 2 90 degrees, and 3 30 degrees. So he turned the key sixty degrees to the left, then one hundred and eighty degrees to the right. Finally, one hundred and twenty degrees to the left.
But there was only a wrong clicking sound from inside the wall, and it was obvious that the method was wrong. He tried to turn sixty degrees to the right, one hundred and eight to the left, and then one hundred and two to the right, and this time the familiar sound of the mechanism opening sounded, and it seemed that the odd number was going to turn left, and the even number was going to turn right.
Once you've found the rules, the rest of the work is simple. After a while, all four rings were stuck in the wall, and then the whole room began to rise rapidly, and the floor was about to close to the ceiling.
Luckily, Diarrando was quick, he pushed straight to the ladder and fell in the direction of the center of the room, and when he fell, he stood just below the gap where he had fallen. He crouched on the ground and didn't get up immediately, for the ground had risen to less than five feet from the ceiling. He tried to reach above him, only to find that the invisible barrier had disappeared, and he was carried by the floor into the vertical passage, which was only about three feet on each side.
The sound of rocks merging with rocks came from under his feet, and it looked like he had finally completed the challenge. But the situation around him hasn't changed at all, which makes him a little anxious. "Hey, I've escaped, did I pass the second floor?"
Before he could finish speaking, the walls around him suddenly fell outward, and he was shaken by the dazzling light that suddenly shot in from around him, and quickly squinted his eyes to look around. Once his eyes had adjusted to his surroundings, he found himself back in the spirit orb he had originally built in the Dragon Realm.
A large shadow swept overhead, and he looked up to see a huge dragon with a knotted body like a centipede flying overhead, it was the Evolution Layer Guardian he had seen under attack from Faculen.
The longest of all dragons, it is almost six miles long, with wings and lower limbs growing on its knobby body. At this moment, three pairs of rainbow-colored dragonfly-like wings were vibrating at high speed, hovering over the dome world with the snake-like body of Ivadelllu.
Eventually, it landed on the transparent outer wall of the dome, where its heads and tails intersected and coiled into a ring. It let out a long, melodious call in the direction of Deirlando, and the scales around it began to peel off its body, flying like butterflies or petals into the sky and sea outside.
"Ahh
Then there was a snap, and the back of his head was twitched by something soft. Lyfal's soft voice rang out behind him: "Nonsense, it's just beginning to release the guardianship of this layer in preparation for a second unfolding. ”
"And what about the invasion of Fikelen before?" Diarlando couldn't help but worry as he watched the dark purple scales scatter into the space along with the normal scales.
Lever sighed softly and said, "What I symbolize is the continualness of all things, in my management. All living things thrive, and pollution sources are no exception. Creatures will dump against each other and grab resources. If he is stronger than any other living being, then after passing through this level, he will be the only individual left in this space. ”
As he spoke, the little green dragon circled his two tails in a circle, and then projected a picture in it, which was a bare hillside, covered with dark purple plants, and the leaves of which bloomed with pitch-black flowers. A bird flew over, with a long, pale face. Draped in dark purple feathers. There is a small neat black crown feather on the top of the head. The creatures that walk on the ground are exactly the same color, even the insects. The whole world is only purple, white and black, which looks extremely monotonous and terrifying.
"The flowers are him, and the trees are him. Birds and beasts are still him. There will be only one will left in the space. Lever described the unimaginably horrific scene. Then he patted Dearrando on the shoulder with his third tail and said, "So you must kill him on this level, otherwise when he escapes from my layer, his number will be at least ten thousand times greater than now." The rate of contamination will be a thousand times higher than it is today. ”
Dearlando reached out and shook the green tail on his shoulder and said, "Okay, so how am I going to kill him?" It likes to touch people, but it doesn't like people to touch it, it's a strange dragon.
"When Ivadellu's power is released, an inward vortex will be created in the center of the dome, which will suck the entire present world into its current inverted face. In the process of that there will be a very small gap, where lies the mezzanine where I meet his world, where you will see the reflection of the tree of life. ”
"What does the Tree of Life look like?" asked Deirlando, curiously, for in ancient legend, Lever was the patron saint of the Tree of Life, and that he usually crouched under the tree. Any demon who dares to covet the Tree of Life will be swallowed by it. He never imagined that he would have the opportunity to see the true Tree of Life.
"My tree isn't what any tree you've ever seen, you'll know when you see it. There, you have to find the branch where the source of the pollution is perched and cut it off. In this way, it will be removed from the orbit of life evolution, lose its nourishment, and gradually die. ”
Dearlando nodded in agreement, and then asked puzzledly, "How do I know which branch is his?"
Lever narrowed his long, elegant dark brown eyes and said slowly, "The garden of God needs to be taken care of by the gardener day and night, so that the weeds and vermins do not spoil the beauty of the flowers. You have to have this kind of discernment, find out the goal, this is also the test I give you, if you finish it, you can pass to the next level, if you can't then you die. ”
Diarrando looked at the green dragon with a harmless face, but his hand was not at all as soft as his voice, and he silently wiped his sweat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as one challenge ended, the second challenge came again, and these guardians who shouted and shouted to kill themselves were all about to kill themselves at every turn. After comparison, I found that Ryses is worthy of being a dragon that symbolizes light and justice, and his personality is simply terrible!
Lever looked up at the sky, then pointed to the sky with one of his three tails and said, "Look, the unfolding is about to begin." It wrapped its other tail around Deirlando's right hand and flew into the sky with him.
The transparent spiritual barrier that was originally impenetrable was effortlessly passed through under its guidance, and Deirlandor once again came to the real dragon realm outside. Here he could not fly on his own volition, so he had to clung to Lever's tail and hang under the green dragon.
A black dot appears in the sky, then gradually grows larger. Slender green branches protruded from the black hole that had spread out, spiraling to form a funnel. Then the tip of the funnel stretched out towards the dome world. As soon as it came into contact with its protective shield, it began to spread rapidly along the outer walls.
The green branches are laid in a spiral downward from the top, and when the main trunk is grown, new spikes are constantly drawn, and willow-like leaves grow on top of the new spikes. Covering it layer by layer, soon the entire dome world was wrapped in green plants except for the small ball at the top.
After swallowing the hemisphere completely, the trunk that first stretched out began to shrink back, trying to retract into the large black hole in the sky.
The sea churned violently outside the dome, and the continent that had emerged from the bottom of the sea was now pulled out of the sea tightly wrapped in a green web. The water poured like a waterfall on the turquoise sea, stirring up countless huge waves.
Huge ripples spread out from the place where the mainland had been uprooted, and if this happened in the real sea, it would have caused a tsunami in the surrounding area.
The Dome World is like a ball that has been slowly pulled up into the sky, but the big black hole in the sky is much larger than the entire Dome World. It's like trying to stuff a giant pumpkin into a tiny wine glass.
"Lever, I can't seem to fit in?" Dearlando shouted to the green dragon, pointing to his own world hanging in mid-air like himself.
"I've said it, I'm going to be sucked in. Don't shout, I'm going to concentrate on it. The green dragon gave Deirlandor a gentle twitch with its remaining two tails, and then flew towards the edge of the big black hole.
I saw it land on the thick weave of vines, almost a mile long, and then lowered its head, and plunged its long corners into the vines. Circles of light poured from its horns into the vines, and as it jerked its horns back and chanted a loud incantation, the vast web of plants that enveloped the dome suddenly began to shrink inward.
It was as if someone had bitten a notch in a persimmon and sucked up all the flesh through the notch.
The rock starts in the center and goes up, and then the surrounding material falls like that center. All these changes are taking place in silence, as if the collapsed continent is just a phantom.
When the real continent was dragged into it by vines from the black hole, an extremely bright light burst out from the hole. Deirlando felt like he had been struck by a surge of energy, and when he could open his eyes again, he found himself trapped in a tunnel where everything was infinitely elongated.
He could see the vines in front of him and the dome wrapped in vines, but it was no longer at all proportional, and had become like a slender green rope. He stretched out his hand and noticed that it looked like it was dozens of miles long from his arm to his fingertips. (To be continued......)
