through the dark road

Chapter 303 Another Lost Artifact
Not only the ordinary residents of Kurast have a strong sense of fear of the wild waters, but even the job-changers are the same.

The lake looks dark, but it should not be deep. There are dead trees sticking out of the water in many places. It is an exaggeration to say that it is a lake.

But with such a small piece of water, the three of Mo Bei also felt very afraid.

So no matter how curious they are about why those dwarves keep coming out of the water, it is impossible to go into the water to find out.

The three of them landed directly on the small island that was lit with fire, and there were monsters within range. Miloer didn't need to punch Mo Bei anymore. He raised his bow and shot at the shore, and the Valkyrie shot again. Appeared next to the three of them.

Those dwarves who saw the same kind being killed turned around and looked at the small island in the middle of the lake. After finding a few humans, they just hesitated for a moment, then turned their heads and passed through the forest of the thorn wood demon that gradually fell silent, and continued to run. I went in the direction of the harbor, but there was not even one that wanted to trouble Mo Bei and the others.

This situation made the three of them even more vigilant. What is so strange about this island that makes them stay away so respectfully.

Mo Bei took another look at the Valkyrie summoned this time. He was still exactly the same as Milor, and there was no difference in appearance and appearance. A question flashed in his heart.It's just that it's not the time to think about these things, so I don't say anything.Switch out the sword and shield, and slowly approach the circle of steles.

It is said to be a stone tablet, which is just an irregular stone block with one side smoothed, and there are large and small ones. Different runes are engraved on the plane of each block, and there are 12 yuan in total.

They are placed quite regularly, the larger ones are in the outer ring, the smaller ones are in the inner ring, and the inner and outer rings are about one step away from each other. Stone tablets of different sizes form two overlapping and staggered stone tablets under the impenetrable line of fire. hexagram.

These stones engraved with runes reminded Mo Bei of the teleportation circle leading to Tristram, and Perona also gave a similar judgment, which should be a teleportation circle.

However, judging from the fact that the dwarves kept coming out of the water, the teleportation point of this magic circle is set underwater?What are you doing so hard for? . .It can't be just to toss those short legs, right?
The three looked at each other, but even Perona couldn't tell why.

She extended her spiritual power, and after touching the flame, she directly extinguished it by isolating the fire element.

The fire was also strange, and after it was extinguished, there was nothing to burn below, only a dagger stuck on the ground.

This dagger is less than a foot long and has a simple shape. It doesn't even have a handguard behind the long and narrow diamond-shaped blade.

"Unable to ingest." Perona said aloud.

She has already tried to use telekinesis to pull out that dagger. After all, no one knows what will happen if she steps forward rashly. However, this simple dagger seems to be of the same level as the Horadric Cube, and telekinesis cannot Perturb it.

Upon hearing this, Milor asked the Valkyrie to step forward and walk into the circle of steles.

The three people behind them were leaning against each other, paying attention to the powerful enemies that might be lurking under the water, as well as the possible changes that might occur within the circle of stone tablets.

But until the Valkyrie reached out and grabbed the handle of the dagger, nothing happened.

"pull."

Perona nodded slightly to Milor, who had a questioning gaze, and at the same time spread her wings, ready to take the two of them into the sky at any time.

But after two breaths, the Valkyrie let go of the dagger and stood up directly.

"...She couldn't pull it out. It seems that there is a powerful force binding the dagger." Milo said helplessly.

Mo Bei thought for a while, took out the bone crushing hammer, stepped forward and hit one of the stone tablets, and the stone tablet shattered into several pieces.Seeing that there was no follow-up reaction, he broke several pieces in one breath.

"Try again, the circle should be broken now, right?"

As Mo Bei spoke, he noticed that Perona curled her lips speechlessly, as if she didn't like his way of breaking the magic circle.

"As long as it works." He shrugged at Peroan.

"Boom!!!!"

Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be a thick rope on the ground that was broken by a huge force, and there was a dull vibration!

At the same time, the entire lake was centered on the small island under their feet, and a shock wave instantly spread out. Countless fine sprays were splashed on the water surface, and even the dead trees soaked in the water were all shaken into pieces.

There was no outward repelling force, and the water surface calmed down after a brief but strong shock, even calmer than before.

Just before this, dwarves climbed up from the water continuously, but now there are none, but soon the dark water surface was covered with blood, and then pieces of broken wreckage surfaced. Looking up, it should be the body fragments of those dwarves, floating everywhere.

Looking at the Valkyrie again, she had calmly walked back with the dagger in her hand.

"Is this body of water a portal?"

Mo Bei usually learned some common sense of magic from Perona. He was no longer the little white who didn't understand anything at the beginning, and now he understood something.

The movement just now should be that the transmission channel collapsed, and all the dwarves who were still in it were twisted into pieces. .

Perona nodded, confirming his guess.It's just a pity that those spoils that sank into the mud at the bottom of the lake, although the dwarf's explosion rate is relatively poor, but with so many dead at once, the drop should be considerable, and it would be too time-consuming and laborious to salvage.

"Look at the trouble... We didn't know about it before... I hope there will be no such vicious accidents in the world of your dwarves..."

Looking at the tragic scene on the lake, Mo Bei smacked his mouth, feeling that these little short legs died so unjustly.

Miloer, who was originally on guard, couldn't help but tense the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, and he relaxed a little.

She saw that with the turmoil just now, the thorn wood demon forest by the lake gradually collapsed, and there was no burning phenomenon when it was killed, as if it had been drained of power, and there was no movement at all.

This forest seems to have been activated into a thorn wood demon because of the arrangement here, so what kind of power does this dagger contain?
She passed her mind to the Valkyrie, and handed the dagger into Mo Bei's hands.

"Skazimi Holy Knife, Gidbin?"

Mo Bei looked at the dagger in his hand and blurted out.

Peroan's eyes widened slightly. After being reminded by him, he also connected the appearance of this dagger with the description in the literature he had read.

The holy knife of Skasimmi, the personal belonging of the previous Popes of Zakarum!

This is a divine tool that contains enormous energy, and it was not made for killing, but the specific function is not clearly recorded, it seems that it is only passed on by word of mouth among the popes.

The whereabouts of this artifact was unknown following Klimt's murder, but it suddenly appeared here.Obviously, it was regarded as the eye of the teleportation circle, causing a wave of monsters to attack the Kurast harbor.

As the last group of dwarves disappeared into the forest, the surroundings became completely silent. All three of them felt that this matter was a bit anticlimactic. They cut off the source of the monster tide so easily, and found such a lost artifact.

But looking back, if they hadn't been able to restrain the teleportation of Wayne, the finger of space, it would obviously not be easy to pass through the Thornwood Demon Forest under its constant attack.

Even if he forcibly broke through, facing the lake that leads directly to the base camp of the monster dwarf, there seems to be no other way to land on the island in the middle of the lake other than flying.

The layout here is still quite strict, but this year's breakthrough is not very reasonable. .
