Extraordinary Sailing

There are torches, ropes and other materials specially prepared by the pirates for the next exploration at the entrance of the ruins, and Gary is about to pick up one and light it.

Milan has already snapped its fingers first.

Snapped--

A bright ball of light was born out of thin air, suspended above the heads of the three people, making the dim interior of the ruins instantly bright as day, and also startled Gary.

However, Aiwen had already greeted him in advance, and the reaction was not too violent, but he silently put down the torch in his hand.

Even if he is a "prophet" who has given up most of his offensive spellcasting abilities, Milan is no matter what he is an official wizard, and some common small spells are not a problem for him.

When the lights of the "Illumination Technique" came on, Ai Wen was attracted by a very simple tree-shaped figure on the stone wall at first sight.

As if carved directly on the smooth stone wall with a chisel, a mysterious figure consisting of ten circles and twenty-two diameters was drawn with very simple lines.

Aiwen was attracted to it not because it was so novel and rare, but in various occult books, the frequency of its appearance was actually not low at all.

He is known as the "Tree of Life", "Analogous Tree", and "Stairway of God". When he was in the "Shadow Library", Ivan had seen this figure in many basic occult books.

According to legend, this is the knowledge that has been handed down from one of the origins of wizards, the "Oldest School", and it hides the ultimate secret between humans and gods in this world!

However, although this graphic has been widely circulated, looking at the history of the extraordinary world, no one can prove that he really discovered the secret from it.

"An inverted tree? Could this ruin have something to do with it?"

A thought came up and was suppressed by Aiwen in an instant. The meaning of the "backgrown tree" graphic to the wizarding world is the same as that of Aiwen's previous life's "Yin-Yang Diagram" to Taoism.

There are countless branches and factions that have spread from it, and you will never be able to guess if you make a blind guess.

He nodded at Milan and Gary. As the military force among the three, Ivan took the lead and walked ahead, while the two of them guarded the flanks and advanced carefully in a cautious defensive formation.

Because the entrance itself is at the top of the tower, the three of them headed deep underground along a spiral slope that continued underground. After completely passing through the artificial buildings on the ground, there are only rock steps and rock walls without a trace of gap, as if the entire island under your feet is a giant rock.

However, it is worth mentioning that even though it has gradually penetrated into the ground, there is no such dull and corrupt feeling in the breath. Obviously the age may be very old, but the ventilation system here is still very smooth.

Soon, without encountering any danger, they came to a relatively spacious underground hall.

squeaking

Startled by the light of the "Illumination Technique", a large group of bats that were not much smaller than a wolf dog immediately pounced on them in a dense mass.

But they were just some ordinary creatures. Aiwen's long sword turned into a bright sword light, and his body turned into a gust of wind, which had already chopped off all the bats that came. Seeing that the situation was not good, more bats fled to the depths of the darkness, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The faces of the three people were as usual. For them who had experienced many battles, this scene was not even an appetizer.

step forward.

Tread Tread

The crisp sound of military boots stepping on the ground echoed continuously in the underground space.

With the light of the lighting technique, it can be seen that the classically carved Tuscan-style stone pillars support this circular underground space, where they finally found the footprints of the former "explorers".

But at this time they have all become part of the ruins.

Dried bloodstains, broken bones, corpses that have been dried but not restrained, and various weapons that were discarded casually, it seems that the last exploration was at least a few years ago and the time when the wooden house was built in the outside world roughly coincided.

Fortunately, the ventilation in this underground space is fairly smooth, and there is no strong odor left.

But what is strange is that the scene does not show that the pirates were attacked by anything.

Instead, there were many broken marble statues stained with pirate blood among the corpses of the pirates, as if the pirates had carried out some kind of planned destruction of the "display" here during their lifetime.

"These sculptures should be antiques, right? Pirates are really reckless. Isn't real gold and silver only valuable in the ruins!"

Milan, who was born rich and well-versed in antiques, saw the fragmented statues, but he was heartbroken by the pirates' behavior.

"Be careful! It's only been a few years, and what killed them may still be living here."

The three of them were all experienced naval officers, and they became vigilant at the same time when they saw the bones everywhere. Milan just cursed and didn't even move his feet.

"Can you tell what it is?" Milan looked around, always alert to movements in the dark, and asked Ivan in a low voice. He knew that Ivan's ability to distinguish these details was superior to his own.

"Some of the skeletons had all their bones broken, but their clothes were still intact, and they looked as if they had been strangled by some kind of python or something.

Some obviously suffered some kind of blunt attack, a stone or a warhammer or something? There are indeed similar weapons on the ground, but I don’t know whether they belong to pirates or attackers. Are there humanoid intelligent creatures that can use weapons? "

Aiwen turned on the "digital vision" to carefully screen, facing mysterious relics and enemies with unknown methods that may jump out at any time, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

This is also one of the rules that explorers need to abide by when taking risks.

"It seems that they have encountered a very tragic blocking battle here!"

For the sake of caution, Aiwen called out from the bottom of his heart, wanting to call the seabirds to come forward and investigate.

Unexpectedly, an extremely strong resistance came from the bottom of my heart immediately. It was not the pure fear when I first faced the evil god. It seemed that there was something deep in the ground that made them fearful and disgusted.

There is no way, my seabird detection spell is not a mandatory creature control spell, and I can't make them go against the instinct of creatures.

Ivan looked at Milan.

The latter understood immediately, closed his eyes for a moment and replied: "If you continue to move, you will encounter enemies, but the omen of death is not obvious."

"Go ahead and be careful!"

Although they can't beat the original White Shark Skuk now, they rely on the part-time wizard path and far richer mystic knowledge than Skuk.

At least in the exploration of ruins, knowledge is sometimes more useful than force.

The three of them slowed down and continued to move forward, passing a stone platform in the middle of the rotunda. At this time, it had broken and fell to the ground, and they didn't know what was placed on it.

Obviously, if "White Shark Skuk" is the first visitor, there is a high probability that the items above have already fallen into his hands.

There are three exits in different directions of the hall, and the middle door has been opened.

Aiwen, the leader, looked up at the ceiling and pondered for a moment before turning to walk into the open door.

Behind the gate is a long and narrow corridor. On the walls are painted all kinds of grotesque creatures, plants, animals, terrestrial, and aquatic. Some are not much different from the outside world, but some are like hybrids. People can't bear to look directly.

It looks like some kind of laboratory for biochemical experiments. Even after hundreds of years, these paintings are still very bright, giving people the illusion that the owner here was still here yesterday.

Tread Tread

In this deep underground place, there is nothing but the footsteps of a few people. Although there are no "monsters" coming out of the darkness, the deep oppressive and tense atmosphere in the dark underground is accumulating little by little, even if the breathing is smooth, it makes people feel a slight suffocation from the bottom of their hearts.

breathe--

With the sound of slightly heavy breathing, the three of them came to another circular hall very smoothly.

The shape and furnishings here have not changed much compared to the previous hall. There are far fewer dead pirate corpses on the ground than the previous one, but judging from the clothing and equipment, it is obvious that the level is higher and the force is stronger.

It seems that the bottom pirates were almost wiped out in the previous hall. Although the elite pirates managed to come here, they were not spared.

"Has the thing that killed the pirates left?"

Milan looked at the empty hall with nothing but pirate corpses, and became even more curious about what the secret enemy was.

After all, the corpses of pirates were everywhere on the ground, but like the previous hall, there were no traces of unknown enemies left except broken sculptures and some dry branches.

"I don't know the traces of the enemy, but I think you should take a look at the ceiling! I have some guesses about this thing."

Under Ivan's reminder, Milan and Gary looked up at the same time, and saw a huge and intricate circular symbol carved on the ceiling.
