Chapter 68: The Vanishing Continent

Even Xiu Yi did not expect that on the road of searching for unknown powers, they would walk for three days.

During these three days, they trekked all the way, everywhere except wilderness and wilderness, except for white bones and white bones. I can't see a single living being, it's a dead world. Although the unknown force guided Xiu Yi forward, it was like a mirage, and no matter how he walked, he couldn't get close to it.

It was strange to Shue that in a world like this, since there were no plants, there should be no air either. But in this land, everything is still the same, and even magic can be used normally.

The good news is that Carmela's injury has improved dramatically over the past seven days. This woman is a samurai herself, and she has a good physical foundation, and if she encounters an alchemist like Xiuyi, it will be difficult to get better soon. During this time, everyone has been in contact with each other for a long time, and they have gradually become familiar with each other.

Harry, they knew something about Xiuyi, and they were also embarrassed about what happened to him.

Of course, to be able to escape from such an island of death, and then force a huge empire to such an extent, they also admired Xiuyi's ability. Udick admired his mentor even more, and his eyes were always full of admiration when he looked at Xiuyi.

Today they were walking, and Udik suddenly shouted loudly: "Look, Mentor!"

Following Udick's direction, the shadows of a large number of buildings appeared on the distant land.

This took everyone by surprise.

Xiui didn't hesitate any longer, and the angel's wings stretched out from behind his back, and he flew into the air and shouted, "I'll go over and take a look first, and you guys will follow." ”

The Black Samurai was the first to react, holding Asahi and running quickly below, like a black lightning bolt.

Harry and Carmela looked at each other, and Harry shook his head, "I hate that. ”

"Less nonsense, run. ”

This journey is not short, and it took more than half a day to finally arrive. As the distance drew closer, Harry and the others finally saw what kind of existence was in front of them.

Here is a ruin.

There are broken walls everywhere, collapsed houses have remained in their original appearance after thousands of years, and the desolate land is full of rubble, and there is not a single human population in sight.

"I'll just say, how can anyone survive here. Harry muttered.

"Where's Huey?"

"Over there. Udick pointed ahead and shouted.

Huey was standing in front of a collapsed building.

Walking through the rubble, Huey's brow furrowed.

"Hey, Huey, did you spot anything?" exclaimed Harry.

"This place used to be a city. Xiu Yi replied without looking back.

"It should be a very old existence. Harry thought of the ancient teleportation circle that Huey had mentioned.

"But also a strong and wealthy existence. Xiu Yi took out a charred stone from the rubble: "You see, this is the result of being eroded by magical power, I just checked, this is obsidian, a stone as white as jade, very hard, has a strong resistance to fire and physical damage, and can also be used as alchemy material." I have a puppet-making process that is made of stone, and if you use this obsidian as the base material, the effect will be even better. The buildings built with it, like a glorious temple, are very charming and difficult to destroy. They are very difficult to mine and not easy to process, and even now, the buildings made from them are a symbol of wealth and power. Can you imagine people using it to make residential housing?"

Before Harry and they came, he had inspected the entire ruins. It is no exaggeration to say that this former city is very large, and its area is definitely not smaller than Winrington. Some of the relatively low buildings have not collapsed, perhaps because they have not been corroded by insects and ants, and they have survived thousands of years. This gave Xiu Yi the opportunity to study the other party, and then he realized that this kind of obsidian building was actually everywhere.

"There used to be a powerful civilization in this land, and they were even stronger than we are now. ”

That's what Huey came to to conclusion.

"But...... The stone is black. Harry said dumbly.

"That's because it's under attack by powerful dark spells. Xiu Yi replied lightly: "There is a greater force that destroys everything here and turns the whole land into a barren land, and then I don't know how to hide it, so that future generations will never be able to discover its existence." ”

Everyone's hearts were heavy at the same time.

It looks like they're breaking into some fatally struck vanished civilization that has been hidden.

"I have never heard of such a civilization in history. "There is no record of this in history. ”

"Maybe not nothing. Xiui said suddenly.

"What?"

Everyone was shocked at the same time.

Hue was already looking up at the sky.

"Look at the sky. He said.

"What's in the sky?" Harry didn't understand.

"Where is the sun? Why is there no sun in the sky?" asked Huey.

Everyone looked up in amazement.

These days they walked in the wilderness, and they wondered why they couldn't see the sun and moon in the sky, and finally they were obscured by heavy dark clouds. There was obviously a powerful magical power in the air, so Xiu Yi didn't dare to probe easily, but now that Xiu Yi suddenly said this, he obviously meant something.

"What do you want to tell us?" asked Carmela.

Huey didn't answer.

A hurricane of wings rose behind him, and he flew into the air, like a sharp arrow into the sky.

Xiu Yi never thought that one day he would have such arrogant thoughts, challenging the limits of his abilities to measure the height of the sky, but at this moment, he really did it.

He kept flying towards the sky, desperately sprinting to the highest place, as if to fly all the way to the sun, as if to find the end of the day.

He soon saw the end.

At the top of the high heavenly vault was a sea-like blue......

"Oh my God, I know where we are. The man stood in the void, and Xiu Yi let out a helpless sigh.

The Western Continent, the legendary Western Continent that sank to the bottom of the sea.

Xiu Yi never dreamed that they would come to the land of the Western Continent located in the underwater world through a teleportation circle in the Land of Divine Grace.

——————————————————————

When Xiu Yi was on Purgatory Island, he had seen the history of the Western Continent.

Legend has it that the Fengming Continent originally had four continents, and its Chinese Ming was the most prosperous in the Western Continent. It is said to be the birthplace of civilization and the concentration of all the top powers. The development of civilization in the eastern, southern, and northern continents was almost all influenced by the western continent.

No one knows when the Western Continent suddenly disappeared.

Overnight, an entire continent disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Since then, there have only three continental plates left in the Fengming Continent, and the development of civilization has been greatly impacted, and it can even be said that it has been set back by a thousand years.

There have also been people who have tried to find the vanished continent, where they believe that there is untold wealth, there is a high-end civilization, and if you find it, you can make a fortune.

But no one ever succeeded.

It wasn't until today, after following in the footsteps of a Vajra rhino that Xiu Yi and the others finally entered the legendary Western Continent, which had become a desolate barren land and a graveyard for demonic beasts.

When Xiu Yi saw the blue ocean sky at the top of the Sky Dome, he finally realized that they had come to the Western Continent, which was located at the bottom of the sea.

The news shocked Harry Carmella and others.

"So, the land sinking of the Western Continent is not a natural phenomenon, but the result of some powerful force?" asked Harry.

"I don't know. Xiu Yi shook his head: "But since this is the Western Continent, then there will never be only one city. As we move forward, there may be more to discover. ”

With this realization, Xiuyi and the others quickly noticed many strange places during their journey.

Those strange ravines were actually rivers and mountains, and the land of bones was actually a jungle, and this land was once prosperous and lush, inhabited by countless people and demonic beasts, and the degree of civilization they possessed was far beyond people's imagination.

Along the way, Xiuyi and the others discovered multiple cities one after another.

Every place was in ruins.

On these ruins, they can even see scenes of fierce fights. It's a pity that thousands of years later, there are almost no valuable clues left for them to discover.

Even so, Huey noticed something out of the ordinary.

There were some scattered weapons, and although they were no longer usable under the erosion of time, Xiu Yi could still feel the power that remained on them. Judging from some traces of destroyed buildings, it should be a powerful race that destroyed this civilization.

They are tall, mighty, fierce and brutal.

Xiu Yi and the others found that in addition to human bones, the most common in the ruins was a kind of super-large bones, about three meters long, and it was obvious that all of them were giant-like beings before they died. Most of these bones were killed in battles with humans, and many were besieged by humans.

It can be seen that these bones are the culprits of the catastrophe in the Western Continent.

It's just that Harry and they can't figure out what these bones belong to, it seems that there is no such existence in the Fengming Continent.

Instead, it was Xiu Yi, and a hazy image appeared in his mind.

He remembered what the Church of the Scourge had said to him.

Could it be that it is an invasion of the Demon Realm?

Could it be that the Demon Realm had invaded this world a thousand years ago, and directly led to the demise of a civilization?

But if so, why didn't they invade other continents? Why did the western continent eventually sink to the bottom of the sea? Why is this continent still intact, why can the sea be the sky that obscures the world?

Xiui didn't have any of these answers, and he could only hope for the unknown magical power that would guide him all the way.

The good news is that Huey's sense of that power has become clearer these days, indicating that they are very close to their goal.

The bad news is that they don't have much food.

With no life, diet has become a big problem here. Xiu Yi's space ring originally contained a large amount of food, which he brought when he went to the jungle to cultivate, and stored a large amount of dried meat, bread made of wheat flour and other food. After meeting Harry and the others, Huey has been following the group on a picnic, and the food has been saved and has come in handy during this time. But no amount of food can withstand the consumption of six people. The black samurai basically doesn't eat, but he still has to drink water, and Asahi doesn't drink much water, but his appetite is the best. In his words, I'm still in the stage of growing my body.

Xiu Yi estimated that the rest of the food would last for three more days at most, but the water would only last for one day.

To reach the destination, this time may not be enough.

Harry and others are apparently aware of the problem.

Today, Harry finally brought it up.

"Xiuy, it can't go on like this. ”

"How?"

"It's us who drag you down. If it weren't for us, with your wings, you would be a hundred times faster than you are now. ”

"Don't worry, I can feel that we are getting closer and closer to it. ”

"That's not enough. Harry shook his head: "The Western Continent is a continent, it is not a small region. Even if we walk for a year, we may not be able to find what you are looking for......" Harry's face was very serious, his expression was very serious, and he said word by word: "You can't take us on the road again." ”

"What do you mean......"

"Get us out of here. ”

Huey looked at Carmela, who said, "I think Harry is right, we're here to drag you down and not do you any help. Thank you so much, Huey, you have done so much for us and you are a trustworthy friend. Send us away, we'll be waiting for you in the canyon. We will be there waiting for you when you come back. ”

"What about you, Udick?"

Udick lowered his head and replied, "I'd love to be with you, Mentor, but Harry is right, we're a drag on you here." I'm willing to wait for you in the canyon with Carmela and them. ”

Xiu Yi thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll set up the teleportation circle, and you will return to the magic circle before entering, and wait for me there." Udick, help me take care of them. ”

"Yes, mentor. ”

Xiu Yi then set up the teleportation circle. Small teleportation circles are much simpler, and the primary ones consume less material. With that ancient teleportation array in the canyon as a fixed point, Xiu Yi didn't have to worry about teleporting them somewhere else.

After leaving all the food and water for Xiui, Harry Gones, Carmela and Udick left the place in a teleportation array, and only Xiui, Asahi and the Black Samurai were left in the entire empty wilderness.

With his wings spread out behind him, Xiui flew into the sky with Asahi in his arms, spreading his wings and flying in the air. The Black Samurai locked onto Shui in the sky and ran wildly on the ground. With his fighting energy, he can continue to run at such a high speed for a long enough time.

Without the drag of Harry and others, Xiuyi's speed is indeed a hundred times faster than before.

After flying for two days in a row, as the speed increased and the distance quickly approached, Xiu Yi's sense of that power was so clear that it seemed to be around him.

The force was so great that the closer Xiui flew, the more shocking it became.

That's not a power that humans can have.

That night, Huey discovers the source of power he's been looking for.

It was a tall mountain, towering over the earth like a giant pillar.

At the top of the mountain stands a tall and magnificent temple. From the foot of the mountain to the temple, there are tens of thousands of staircases, all paved with obsidian.

The entire temple is a triangular building, with a large altar enshrined in the middle, and the surrounding area is carved with strange-shaped totems.

The entire temple has formed a unique specification in the layout, constituting a magic array-like existence. A large amount of magical energy escaped from here, even supporting the entire sky.

It is this energy that allows the continent to survive at the bottom of the ocean to this day.

In Xiuyi's memory, there is such a record about the history of the Western Continent.

The Western Continent, where civilization flourished, was once the center of the world. The center of the Western Continent is the Holy Mountain of Michael.

Xiui believes that he is now located on the Holy Mountain of Michael, the most glorious place in the Western Continent and the birthplace of religious civilization.

The top of the sacred mountain should be the glorious temple built by the people of the Western Continent, which was called the lost temple in later generations.

Out of pure respect for civilization, Xiui folded his wings and walked up the steps towards the lost temple.

Xiuyi can fully imagine that during the peak of civilization in the Western Continent, there may have been thousands of people walking on this ladder every day and worshipping the temple. The priests wore white robes and held prayer battles, representing the gods and accepting the worship of their people.

They have supreme power and majesty, and they rule the earth like emperors until the end comes.

A civilization is gone.

What is it that has made such a great civilization disappear in the long river of history?
