The Age of Machines

Chapter 785 Pursuit
They have been busy for so long, and it turns out that the magic circle is a fake.Even Beixi was a little confused for a while, but she quickly reacted and looked around. Although it was similar to before, it looked carefully that these plants no longer swayed with the water, and they all bowed their heads. In place, stand still.

At this time, they seem to have lost their vitality and are just a decoration.Beixi had to say that the golden light around them looked like an enchantment.

Fortunately, these golden lights are very soft.

"Let's go back to shore." Beixi wanted to verify one thing.

So everyone quickly swam towards the lake.Berbos is not particularly deep, and there are no obstacles from other mobs, and they seem to go smoothly all the way.

The civet cats and the others also discovered that although they were still in the lake, the swarms of colorful fish that they saw when they went down to the lake before had disappeared.

The school of fish did no harm to them, they were just small fish in the lake. When they came down, they could meet fish no matter where they looked.However, at this time, there was nothing.

The lake seemed to be dead.

It fell into a dead silence.

They quickly swam out of the water, got out of the lake one by one, and swam towards the shore.When they were all on the shore, the civet cat looked back, but it didn't expect the lake to be a piece of gold.The soft golden color not only covers the surface of the lake, but also the surrounding trees, flowers and plants.

This is not the Birbers Lake District they were in before.

One day was one day throwing stones at the lake.Because he felt that it was a bit like a sealed enchantment.And when the stone fell on the lake, it didn't sink. On the contrary, a force bounced it back and smashed it onto the grass.

This lake is sealed.And the power of that seal can only resist external things, and it is probably because of this reason that they can come out of it.

"The teleportation array is not fake." Ukiyo-e sighed, "It seems that it is indeed useful."

Rashomon also smiled: "Indeed, now Tangtang's profile picture has lit up."

They came to the space where the lollipop was.

The civet cat looked around, when the golden light dissipated slightly, leaving only a gray area.All the trees, flowers and plants seemed to be frozen in time, motionless and lifeless.

The scenery in the scene has not changed in any way, they just changed places.

"Send Tangtang a message." Beixi withdrew her gaze and said to Luo Shengmen.

Rashomon: "I've already sent it, but she hasn't replied yet."

The civet cat opened the map, and now there was no area displayed on the map, only a gray area.This situation may be due to some restrictions in this area.If there is no area, it is naturally impossible to have the location and coordinates of the lollipop.

They also need a map to locate coordinates.

Contacting Lollipop at this time is a top priority.

After 1 minute, the lollipop still did not reply.Rashomon worried, "Did something happen?"

They came a little late.

Beixi pursed her lips, and the head of the lollipop lit up, indicating that they were in the same space.And with her character, she won't just stay where she is and wait.

"What are these crystals for?" Day by day pointing to the crystals around the lake.

In fact, they found the crystal when they came ashore.

"It should be the source of power to maintain the seal of this lake." Crystals are usually linked to the sealing magic circle.It's just that they have never seen so many crystals.

Surrounding a lake, there are about eight large crystals.

"Tangtang should have gone to another place." Said day by day. "We can't wait here forever."

Ukiyoe: "Of course I know." It's just that they don't have a clue now.

Beixi looked around, "If this is the same as the Berbers Lake area we stayed in before, then there should be a passage over there." Beixi pointed to the opposite side.

Yes.

They had searched the vicinity of the Lake District before and found a passage.This space looks like the lake area a long time ago, because it is so dark, it reminds people of the past.

They came to a big crystal based on their memory, stuck their heads out day by day, and said pleasantly: "There is really a passage."

He walked quickly around the crystal, and the others followed.

Stopping in front of the passage, Beixi found that the front of the passage was no longer covered by weeds, but both sides were extremely clean.In this way, a road unfolded in front of their eyes.

The stone road goes along the three meters, which is the stone wall.

This is exactly the same as the lake area they stayed in before.

They walked on the cobbled road with ease.

Wei Shengmo looked at the black marks left on the ground, and said softly: "There is a magic circle here, but it has failed."

Everyone stopped and looked back at him.

Wei Shengmo said lightly again: "The traces are still very new. This kind of magic circle is a sealing circle, which requires specific spells or keys." Once the seal is released, the magic circle will no longer exist, and some traces will be left behind.

"What does the team leader mean, Tangtang walked here?" asked day by day.

The traces are still very new, which proves that someone untied the sealing array before them.They couldn't think of anyone else but lollipops.

Now that the monsters are coming, the players are not as bold as they would run so far, looking for ruins or something.

Wei Shengmo didn't reply, and walked to the side of the bushes.Close to the root of the tree, several diamond-shaped crystals were found. At this time, the crystals have been broken, and the traces are still new.

Wei Shengmo walked out, and said to the others: "She has walked this way."

Everyone became more determined to move forward.

Walking to the stone wall, it was no longer dirty, and all the murals were finally clearly reflected in their field of vision.

"Snakes, birds..."

Ukiyo-e frowned and stared at the pattern on the side of the person sitting by the lake.This is not the first time I have seen it, but where there are snakes, there must be birds.And because of the other murals, they also determined that the one sitting by the lake was a woman.

"These are three moons." The civet cat pointed to the mural and was slightly surprised.Ukiyoe stood by and said, "They seem to be holding some kind of ceremony."

Holding something like a long cloth, it should be worshiping.

One day is one day pointing at a person holding a scepter in front of a group of people in the painting, "This one is probably acting as a sacrificial priest or something."

Generally speaking, races that do not belong to humans have unique customs.And they will all be theists.In fact, it's not just these races, the residents of their human empire are basically theists.

Of course, the residents here exclude players.

"Definitely a high status."

As for the seventh mural.

From Beixi's point of view, there was some magical turning point.

"Why did you suddenly want to kill this woman after offering sacrifices to heaven?" The raccoon cat didn't quite understand why it tied the man to the firewood pile.

"Is it possible that after offering sacrifices to the heavens, I got the will of the gods, and then I needed sacrifices, so I sacrificed to the heavens with a female?" Luo Shengmen asked.

"It's not impossible. But judging from the previous murals, the woman in the seventh mural is the person who appeared in the previous murals. It can be seen that she is a very important existence." The civet cat analyzed.It's not to refute Rashomon's words, but it's just that the woman above is obviously running through it all by herself, so it must be very important.

"Witches?" Smiling day by day, "Aren't there women who function like witches in some races?"

"It's hard to say." Ukiyo-e shook his head solemnly.

Wei Shengmo said: "The position of the moon is reversed."

Beixi looked at the seventh mural. When the group of people tied the woman to the firewood pile, the position of the moon above their heads was indeed different from that of the sixth mural.

The crescent moon is the first, followed by the full moon, and then the half moon.

There must be something to this.

So the eighth...

Just a mess.After that there are no more murals.Civet cats and the others were a bit confused. In fact, the mural did not reveal too much information. From the mural alone, they only knew that this place was closely related to the three moons.

The passage ahead is open.

"It's like the old Birbers Lake District."

As for how long in the past, no one knows.

Beixi led the way up the stairs.When they came to a passage that was not too wide, there were bloodstains on the stone walls on both sides.

Red and black.

The blood looks fresh, and Lollipop must have met monsters here and fought.A group of people were guessing, when suddenly a shadow sprang out from the gap between the stone pillars. Before Beixi and the others moved, the snake paused in mid-air, as if standing still. It fell apart, and with a "pop", it turned into a pool of blood on the ground.

The micro-ink is very fast, and his perception is also the highest.As early as the moment of the snake's attack, he sensed its hostility.So he predicted it first and killed it instantly.

The death of a snake does not mean the killing is over.This was just the beginning. When a lot of poisonous snakes crawled out of the stone pillars on the walls on both sides, Beixi and the others stood in the not-so-spacious passage, and someone behind them was still standing on the steps.

This is not conducive to multiplayer battles, and can only resist hard.

One day is one day, the spirit is shaken, and it is finally time for him to come in handy after this journey.He's a shield!
The shield is thrown out quickly, shield strikes, shocks, and sweeps.After a series of skills passed, the group of snakes was pushed away and distanced from the people behind.

These are crispy snakes, but they are numerous and have venom. If there is only one player, they may still feel distressed.Lollipop is also because he is a personal violent priest, who can be used as a human shield or as an output, so he was not drowned to death by the snakes.

Beixi and the others block monsters every day, and the output, except for one day, is all output, and the damage directly explodes.A group of skills go down, and the monster group is instantly killed.

After clearing, they moved forward.The stone gate that has been opened ahead is beckoning to them.

Entering one by one, they found that there was no light and it was dim. Rashomon and Ukiyo-e took out their magic lamps, and the narrow space was immediately illuminated.

There are several dead bodies.

One day at a time, he squatted next to the corpse at the door, looked at it for a few seconds, and said, "This soldier looks really simple." He meant that there was only armor on his body, not even a helmet.

These people have been dead for a long time.

They are all bones, and there are dried blood stains on the walls of this space. There must have been a fierce battle here.It's just that from Beixi's point of view, the corpses are a bit rare...

"Let's see if there are any clues." Ukiyo-e suggested.

The civet cat shook his head, smiled slightly and said, "Do you think Tangtang would let these corpses go with his level of caution?"

"Wow, you make her sound like a pervert." She joked day by day.

The civet cat glanced at him, "A man with dirty thoughts."

Ukiyoe nodded in agreement. "Yes, he is dirty and wretched."

"Ha~" I feel funny every day. "I'm just kidding. Tangtang will definitely check them one by one. It's hard to find clues here, and the system won't take the initiative to prompt."

The civet cat rolled his eyes at him.

Beixi and Weishengmo already planned to move on, and they didn't stop much.The lollipop should have taken away all the clues left here, and it would be a waste of time for them to search again.

After walking out of that space, there was another passage, and there was another corpse at the corner of the passage. After a closer look, the civet cat found that it was not one, but two.Looking at the small skull exposed in his arms, the wrapped cloth is a bit messy, it should have been touched by someone.

They went down the stairs, and soon, their vision was hit by a bright light.When he opened his eyes again, he was suddenly enlightened.

There are all kinds of houses everywhere.A stream runs through the main road in the middle. No one has set foot in this desolate land for a long time.And they are probably the first batch of people to step in one after another.

The houses are very dilapidated, and some have only one log left.They saw that the doors of some houses were open, and they habitually entered to check, regardless of whether there were clues or not, the blood stains and decayed smell all over the house stopped them.

But it seems that these houses have been ransacked, and there are no clues to be found at all.Lollipop must have stopped here and checked each one.

She left a mark.

The civet cat picked up the magic beads on the ground.This is a magician's prop to strengthen the attack, and it has no effect after being used once.But they can still be kept, because this kind of beads are very beautiful, and the NPC will also be recycled there.

There are not many magic beads left, but they know that the lollipop has walked here.She believed that they would definitely find them, so she deliberately left clues.If this kind of bead is deliberately placed in a certain position, the system will not be refreshed soon, and it will be kept within 15 minutes.

After the civet cat found out, he showed it to everyone for a few seconds, and the beads faded away.has been refreshed.

"She may still be in the area."

"Scatter around and look for a while." Stop by to see if there are any clues missed by the lollipop.

Several people nodded, so they dispersed.

Beixi and Weishengmo came to the most conspicuous giant tree.This tree is huge. Apart from the mechanical tree and the elf tree on the elf island, this is the third giant tree that Beixi has seen.

Enough to house a hundred people.

Coupled with the layers of houses below, this can be said to be a town, but most of it has been destroyed and covered by trees.

Beixi stood on a branch, looking at the vegetation below.

What a dead silence!
