Volume 1 Dream Treading Dust Chapter 71 Nine Mysterious Lost City
The arena has a large area, but there is still a lot of space after exiting through the back door.
The three emissaries had the privilege of seeing the main church of the "Cult of the Earth".
After all, the church building itself is a religious symbol, and the architecture of the Oranti Empire is even more unique. The cross is the most commonly used element in the architecture of the "Cult of the Earth", with intersecting ribs and bright yellow capstones at the highest point.
The designers of the earth elements have designed detailed flying buttresses on the outside, which makes people marvel at the beauty of the interesting lines.
Passing through the cross-shaped transept, there is a large open space. Hluka intimately introduced to the three spirit envoys that this area is the training ground used by the Duke when training spirit beasts-
And all the spirit beasts come from a mysterious realm under the city of Zachariah, the "Nine Mysterious Lost City".
The Nine Shadows is the most spiritually powerful region in the entire Euroti Empire, located directly below the city of Zachariah, and is a completely underground city.
For thousands of years, countless powerful spirit beasts have been bred here. Different from the gathering places of spirit beasts in other empires, the Nine Shadows Maze City is too full of spiritual power, causing the large and small spirit beasts in this area to remain awake all year round, and they reproduce normally like other creatures that do not have spiritual power in the empire.
Everyone in the world knows that the man-eating beasts of the Fire Elemental Empire are ferocious and abnormal, but they don't know that in the Earth Elemental Country of Euroti, the spirit beasts in the Nine Shadows Maze are extremely fierce.
If you really want to enter the world of spiritual arts, you need to reach a high-level level or above, then in the Euroti Land Empire and even the entire Phantom Capital Continent, only high-level spirits with peak spiritual power will dare to enter this dungeon.
Those with weak spiritual power will be unable to adapt to the high concentration of spiritual power underground and lose their ability to fight. In the same way, if the spirit beast is brought back to the surface from the Nine Shadows Maze City, it will be difficult to adapt to the thin spiritual power environment of the empire, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
This is also the reason why the Euroti Empire, although it sits on the city of spirit beasts, still does not have an advantage in foreign wars.
Zachariah City is the barrier between the surface empire and the underground city, and this matter has become a well-known "secret" on the Phantom Capital Continent. Over the centuries, the other three empires have attempted to attack Zecharias and claim the underground treasury for themselves, but all have failed.
The city of Zechariah was also given the title of "Fortress of Euroti".

It may be that Heluka was too focused on describing the mysterious realm, but he didn't notice that there were two ghostly figures hidden behind him, secretly observing his every move.
Hidden in the shadows, the face of the dissolved charm is pale. He listened to the conversation between the three spirit envoys and Heluka, but after walking through the church, he suddenly found that his body was empty, and there was no trace of spiritual power.
He looked at Yu Yu with a puzzled face, not expecting that the people around him were also nervous.
Emptying their bodies of spiritual power is a very bad thing for any psychic - this means that they cannot summon any weapons and spirit beasts, and if they encounter danger, they can only fight people with their bare hands......
It's just a waste!
The field behind the original arena...... It's a barren land with no spiritual power at all...... Originally, I thought that it was just that the spiritual power was thinner and I couldn't perform a large area of water spirit magic, but in fact, the current situation had made the dissolving charm and feather spirit collapse in an instant, and even had a feeling of chest tightness that was almost suffocating.
You can't teach anything about spiritual powers.
For a psychic artist, the use of spiritual power is almost out of the instinct of life.
Obviously, everyone except Hluka felt the feeling of being choked by the neck.
"Heluka, I beg you, how long will it take to get there?" Rin Ye was already restless, and the green veins on his forehead were beating faintly, "Why do I feel uncomfortable, this is really the worst place I've ever encountered!"
"Because the location we stand on is directly above the Nine Shadows Maze City. Heluka smiled shallowly, glancing at the night with some amusement, "For hundreds of years, the spirit beasts in the ground have continued to grab spiritual power from the surface, and over time, this place has become a vacuum. If the creator god comes here, he will not be used to it. β
"In our empire, even in places where spiritual power is thin, there will never be a state of being cleared, your place is too weird. Gwendrin clenched her arms, and the girl's skin was already covered with goosebumps, "There is not even a single element that can be used!"
"Before the advent of Euroti, the god of the earth, the beasts of the east of the continent were rampant. Many years ago, the Lord Protector and the Lady Protector, who are now the grandparents of the Duke of Villas, worked together to seal most of the spirit beasts in the empire in the underground labyrinth, and named this area the Nine Shadows Labyrinth, which has been one hundred and ninety-two years ago. β
"But since their death, the seal has become looser, and for the past few decades, Duke Velhas has held an annual psio competition, but because of the constant wars of the Eurotic Empire, this competition has often been interrupted, so it has been changed to a spirit beast competition. β
"Cut, I don't think you forgot Ben. Gwendlin's tone was cold, lingering on the duel just now.
Heluka shook his head and only said: "Every year, the champion of the spirit beast competition must enter the Nine Shadows Maze City to suppress the spirit beast, little girl, you don't want to and can't." β
This sentence immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the three spirit envoys, and Bai Lianzhou took the lead and said: "Hey, why didn't you say it when we were in the Colosseum, why didn't you delay telling us until now!"
Miss Gwendrin didn't ask. Hluka spread his hands, and the look on his face was a little begging.
"What are you kidding, what if I don't go?" Rin Ye clasped her hands on her chest, raised her chin and looked at Hluka, deliberately pretending to be a ruffian, "Duke VelΓas's butler didn't tell us that, he only told us that there was a big prize and a spirit beast crown! You are now asking us to do things for the Duke of Protectorate......"
Hluka interrupted, "Young man, I'm not from Duke Villeas's side, and I don't know the butler you mentioned. β
Gwendrin was furious, and hurriedly stood up for Rin Ye, "Heluka, I warn you, the one standing in front of you now is the Great Spirit Envoy of the Violet Empire and the Spirit Envoy of the Astrology Clan, you better not be so arrogant......!
"If you don't want to, you'll be cursed. Hluka smiled coldly, with a hint of mockery in his tone: "I have always been in charge of the Nine Shadows Maze, and I have been abiding by the rules for many years, and I have never suffered the loss of the 'curse'. β
"You ......"
"Little girl, few people can beat me in the Colosseum. The spiritualists who entered the Nine Shadows Maze City in previous years were not big names like you, even an ordinary high-level spiritualist could come out alive, not to mention, it was the three spiritual envoys of 'you'. β
"Just go! Let him see the power of our Violet Empire. Rin Ye reached out and grabbed Gwendrin and asked impatiently, "How long will it take?"
"Of course not. β
"How long will it take? β
Heluka held his chin and thought for a moment, then replied, "According to past experience, it takes at least three days for an ordinary psychic master, and if you are strong enough, one and a half days is enough. Aha...... You may not be able to get out!"
"You dare to curse us?" said Gwendlin angrily.
Bai Lianzhou looked helpless, and said calmly: "Okay, the three of us agreed to your request." I hope you will inform my patriarch during these two days, and after two days you will be out with our patriarch and wait for us to come out. β
Hluka sneered: "Young man, how old are you, and you still have to report to your parents like a child who goes out to play? Didn't you just say that your patriarch was sitting in the audience at the Colosseum? β
"Say it again!" Gwendlin threw his fist at Hluka.
"Stop, Gwendlin. Don't worry about him. β
Featherfish suddenly stood up and walked over to Hluka to reveal his identity.
"Patriarch ......"
"Hello, Mr. Hluka, right? I'm the Spirit Clan Patriarch of the Violet Empire, this is the Astrology Patriarch, and the three of them are our Spirit Messengers. Feather Ray narrowed her eyes and stared at his face seriously for a moment, "Please remember your identity and speak with respect." β
"Oh my God, Patriarch, you're so young!" Hluka leaned in front of Feather Fish with an exaggerated expression, "You and the Astrology Patriarch are not as old as me combined, are they?
"Hmph, it's not surprising to say that the old-timers of the Violet Empire are all dead, and you're the only ones left to take on the faΓ§ade. β
"It's better than someone like you who is half in a coffin and is still working as a spiritual messenger. Featherfish smiled and mocked.
Heluka's face was pressed in front of Featherfish, one hand was placed on her shoulder, and he asked ruffianly, "Patriarch, I respect you as a friend who has come for peace, and I don't want to hear about what I said a second time." β
Melt Charm opened Heluka's arm with a blow, instantly grabbed the feather behind him, and said in a solemn voice: "Heluka Linge, the Spirit Clan Patriarch is equivalent to your superior, please pay attention to your speech and demeanor, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind." β
"Oh, then the Melting Charm Patriarch will give it a try, can he beat me as a mere spirit envoy without spiritual power?" Heluka smiled evilly, and turned his face to provoke: "The rules of the ancestors can't be broken, even if the Seagod Lord comes up today, the three of them must enter this Nine Shadows Maze City!"
Rong Mei snorted coldly and said, "What if I'm biased?"
Hluka leaned forward, drawing circles on his chest with her hands, and staring at Melt with a fierce gaze: "Then I don't know...... When I went in before, those spirit beasts were very vicious, and I couldn't see a living person for many years, and suddenly I saw three living creatures with fine skin and tender flesh, and I couldn't wait to come up to taste it. I advise you not to fight, I don't dare to touch the beauty next to you......
"That's it, for the sake of the beauty and touching of the Feather Patriarch......"
"You're delusional. Melt took a step back and said in a cold voice.
"That'...... Say goodbye to them, right?"
Before the words fell, only a scream was heard behind him, and the three of Gwendelin, Bai Lianzhou, and Rin Ye, as if suddenly grabbed by a pair of big hands, were fiercely pulled into a huge cave not far away, and disappeared.
"What do you want to do with them?" Featherfish was extremely annoyed, and scolded, "We are the spirit envoy of the Violet Empire, you can't touch it!"
"Haha, it's so interesting, Patriarch Featherfish......" Hluka shuddered with laughter, and said with a grim face, "It was your Great Spirit Envoy who took the initiative to challenge me, and she won such a beautiful ...... My Heluka's undefeated record in the Colosseum World was broken by such a little girl, why, can't I still ask for some compensation?"
Featherfish's palms clenched fiercely.
"Look at you, the little girl is just impulsive," Heluka put away the cynical smile on his face, lowered his body and said, "Twenty years ago, your father was heroic, and now, you can really disgrace him." β
