Chapter 278: Mysterious Palace
There were only two merchant ships in this caravan, and they were the fleets of the small chamber of commerce.
In the vast sea, Shi Tianci looked at the endless sea water, recalled his experience in the land of displaced people, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. The caravan anchored once at an island in the sea for replenishment, and Liang Boluan also bought the materials he needed along the way.
When one of the merchant ships was leaving port, it was said that there was a problem with the rudder transmission, so it had to be temporarily repaired. In this way, the caravan was left with only one ship and hit the road again.
Shi Tianci rested in the cabin, although he had adapted to the turbulence of the sea, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, he preferred to lie still in bed. However, after a few days, he found that he was lying still in bed, and the ship did not seem to be moving.
Shi Tianci hurriedly left the cabin, but found that the whole thing was empty! Shi Tianci was startled, where did this person go?
He searched everywhere, from the bow to the stern, from the port side to the starboard side, but he couldn't find a single one. Shi Tianci's heart was cold, could it be that he was plotted again?
He unleashed his senses, but he couldn't find anyone's breath for a hundred miles! He didn't know that while he was stuffed in the cabin, someone had already poisoned all the men and thrown their bodies into the sea, and the man drove away in the boat.
On this huge merchant ship, only Shi Tianci was left! He hurriedly released Liang Boluan and the madman from the demon phoenix collar.
The madman was seasick, so as soon as he got on the boat, he obediently hid in the Demon Phoenix Collar of the Infinite Law Array, where he couldn't feel the bumps, and Liang Boluan had been studying the Qinglong Sword in the Demon Phoenix Collar during this time.
After Liang Boluan came out, he looked around, the fresh water and food on the ship had long been gone, and the goods were all stones, soil and sand.
It's not terrible to have no food, because there are still reserves in the demon phoenix collar, and as for fresh water, there are a lot of reserves in the demon phoenix collar, so there is no problem. However, the immobility of the ship without sailors was a big problem.
A few people can't drive the ship, and even if they can, Shi Tianci guesses that the ship has already been destroyed. Now the question is, what do you do?
Liang Boluan said: "It is obviously not advisable to stick to this boat, since the other party wants to murder us, of course they will not let the boat stop on the channel, it must have deviated from the channel a long time ago and stopped in a place where rabbits don't." ”
Shi Tianci smiled and said, "On this sea, there is really no place for rabbits to." ”
Liang Boluan also smiled and said: "That's where sharks don't." ”
Shi Tianci said: "Since you can't defend it, you can only fly in one direction." ”
Liang Boluan said: "The question is, which direction to choose? Once we choose the wrong one, in this vast sea, we will run out of mana sooner or later, and we will die." ”
Shi Tianci nodded, what Liang Boluan said made sense, if he couldn't find the right direction, he would only fly more and more dangerously.
He thought for a moment and said, "In any case, we can't stay here, I feel that since someone has left us here, there must be danger here, let's fly and see first, if we can find the direction or the merchant ship."
If you can't find it, don't be afraid, I can hold on for a while, and when the time comes, the feathers of the ptarmigan will grow full, and I will take turns flying with the demon phoenix collar with them, and I don't believe that I can't get out of danger?"
Liang Boluan listened to it and had to agree, after all, he didn't have a better way. It is true that the tearing space can move quickly, but after all, there is also a distance limit, not infinite, and in this vast sea, the role of the tearing space is obviously not great.
Shi Tianci unleashed the Phoenix Sword, randomly selected a direction, and began the flight of the Edgeworth on the sea.
Flying on the sea is extremely boring, Shi Tianci tried his best to perceive while flying, but after flying for seven or eight days in a row, there was still no human figure.
However, after so many days, the two ptarmigos finally had full wings and were no longer bald chickens. Shi Tianci tied the demon phoenix collar to one of them, signaling it to keep its direction.
This thunderbird has been following Shi Tianci for a long time, and has understood Shi Tianci's meaning, and has always kept flying in one direction. After Shi Tianci accompanied it for a while, he returned to the demon phoenix collar with confidence.
In this way, the two birds flew alternately, and flew for more than a month, before finally finding a land, but this was not any continent, but a huge island.
Shi Tianci and the two thunderbirds were exhausted and had to rest first. As soon as they landed on the island, they lay down and refused to get up.
Liang Boluan asked them to rest first, and he took the madman around to see the situation.
This island is very big, and it won't be finished for a while, so Liang Boluan also took a general look, and saw that there was no problem, so he returned to Shi Tianci with the madman, rested for the time being, and waited for Shi Tianci and the two thunderbirds to rest.
Shi Tianci and the two thunderbirds slept for two days, and then they woke up, only to feel that the days when they didn't have to fly were so beautiful. They have already flown disgustingly, and they want to vomit when they see the sea.
It was easy to find land, and no one wanted to go back to sea right away, so they decided to take a good rest on the island for a while. After Shi Tianci rested, he came to play, and a group of people began to turn east and west on the island, and they started to play in the mountains and rivers.
They went around and came to the heart of the island. They were overjoyed when they arrived, because it was clear that there were all kinds of strange sculptures, and there was also a huge palace!
Shi Tianci didn't know if it was safe here, so he asked everyone to retreat to safety first, and entered the palace alone to feel the situation.
The architectural style of this palace is very peculiar, Shi Tianci has never heard of it, it has never been seen, and the stones used are obviously not on this island, who transported such huge stones from where to build this magnificent palace?
Shi Tianci entered the palace, and the corridors inside were full of reliefs, but Shi Tianci didn't know the content of the reliefs, they were all strange images, and stories that Shi Tianci couldn't understand.
He came to the main hall of the palace, where there was a huge statue, which looked like a human being, but its appearance was very different from that of ordinary people, and it was quite exotic. What surprised Shi Tianci was that that person was holding a beam of flame in his hand!
There are more reliefs here, but Shi Tianci gradually understood the content of some reliefs. He saw that some of the reliefs were made by a man controlling a fire, and he found that the person looked very much like the statue.
Thinking of this, he looked around and found that in fact, all the people in the relief were the same, and that was the statue!
The subject matter of the reliefs and sculptures in the whole palace, and even outside the palace, is about a person, who is this person?
Shi Tianci carefully looked at the reliefs of the man controlling the fire, and he found that the way the person in the relief controlled the fire coincided with the madman! Could it be that the madman was the prototype of this sculpture?
However, Shi Tianci found that this was impossible at all, because the appearance of the two was very different.
However, it is certain that there must be a connection between them, otherwise, the method of fire control cannot be so similar, Shi Tianci has never seen such a unique way of controlling fire in other places and other races.
Shi Tianci stood in front of the statue and looked closely, the statue was old and covered with dust and cobwebs. He circled around the statue and found nothing special.
After that, he walked through the entire palace, and as a result, not even a single shadow was found. The palace has apparently been abandoned for a long time.
Who took great pains to build the palace and abandon it? What is this palace for? Shi Tianci was puzzled, he returned to the main hall the same way, and was about to leave, but suddenly found that there seemed to be something wrong with the statue's eyes.
No matter what angle he was standing, the eyes seemed to be staring at him. The sculpture is dead, how can the eyes move?
Shi Tianci released his wings, flew to the statue, and wiped the dust off the statue's eyes with both hands, and as a result, two red rays of light shot out and shone on the wall opposite the statue.
Shi Tianci looked at the wall, and the statue's eyes projected a line of words on it: "Light the flame of the king and light the way back." ”
It seems that this line should have been displayed uninterrupted, but because the statues' eyes were blinded by dust, preventing them from projecting red letters.
Shi Tianci looked around, where is there a king, it is estimated that this king refers to this statue. He looked at the flame in the statue's hand and burned it with fire, but as a result, nothing happened.
Shi Tianci hurriedly found the blazing fire, asked him to release his strange fire, and tried to get close to the flame in the statue's hand, but as a result, it was ignited!
When the flame in the statue's hand ignited, the floor of the hall suddenly moved. I saw that a circular pattern gradually appeared on the ground, and four pillars rose from the ground around the circle, and the flame in the statue's hand jumped to the four pillars, igniting the flame pattern on the four pillars.
Those four patterns were mapped to the center of the circle at the same time, and under the action of the flames, a teleportation array slowly appeared in the center of the circle!
Shi Tianci looked at it, he had read the records about the teleportation array, and knew that this was a two-way teleportation array, and it could go back and forth. There are many teleportation arrays that are one-way, and can only be teleported out, not back.
Shi Tianci knew that the Dao Teleportation Array had a time limit, and before the flames were extinguished, if he wanted to go to the other end to take a look, he would have to complete a round trip.
Shi Tianci, who was accustomed to taking risks, immediately put the blazing fire into the demon phoenix collar, and he stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation.
