Start by analyzing the Holy Light

Chapter 110 Murals
The moment the light flashed, everyone was in a trance for a moment.

The moment he came back to his senses, before he could see the surrounding situation clearly, he felt an attack approaching rapidly from behind.

Ryan subconsciously dodged the attack by rolling over. With a thought, the chain spread rapidly from his hand, raising his head and surrounding him like a snake.

After doing all this quickly, he had the time to scan his surroundings.

It seems that he is no longer around the lake, but in an unknown place, and he should have entered the interior of the ruins.

The one who attacked him just now was a second-tier magical beast suspected of being a demon fox.

With a petite body, the fur on the back is fiery red, the abdomen is snow-white, and the fur on the palms of the four paws is white, which looks particularly eye-catching.

But it has two tails, and its eyes don't look very smart.

"Two-tailed demon fox, isn't this a monster that is almost extinct?" Ryan was taken aback. He had only seen this kind of monster in books, at least there shouldn't be such a thing in the middle and outer parts of the Silver Moon Mountains.

The culprit was still because of Layton's Association of Magicians.

The blood of this demon fox has a characteristic, it has a very good fusion effect, and it can be used as a neutralizing auxiliary material for the proportion of potions, which is very useful.

Because of this characteristic, the two-tailed demon foxes in the middle and outer parts of the Silver Moon Mountain Range have almost been hunted down, and the price on the black market is at least [-] pounds.

Looking at this second-tier two-tailed demon fox, Ryan's eyes were a little fiery.

This is delivered to your door by yourself!

The chains swam fast, and at this time the two-tailed demon fox also attacked again. A fiery red fox tail flicked slightly, and a huge fireball with a diameter of more than [-] centimeters shot towards Ryan at the tip of the tail.

Ryan seemed to have predicted the opponent's attack. After slightly avoiding the fireball, the chains sprang out like a poisonous snake and attacked the fox.

There was a somewhat humane smile on the face of the two-tailed demon fox. While flicking the second tail quickly, the fireball that Ryan avoided circled around and flew towards Ryan again.

"Do you think I don't know your ability?" Ryan snorted coldly, and another chain sprang out like a python, directly confronting the fireball.

Taking advantage of the gap between the demon fox's control of the fireball, the chains that were originally entangled with the demon fox suddenly exploded, binding the opponent fiercely at a speed far faster than before.

"Still want to escape?" Ryan had a smile on his face. If it wasn't for capturing the fox alive, he wouldn't have wasted so long.

The two chains were entangled with each other to form an airtight black ball, and Ryan directly used the sealing ability of the chains to completely trap the two-tailed demon fox in it.

When he was about to stun it temporarily, the chain suddenly emptied, and the fox was gone.

Ryan froze for a moment.

Phantom array?then what?
The battle came so suddenly just now, he didn't even have time to check the surrounding environment carefully before he fought against the demon fox. Now after careful observation, there are indeed traces of phantom formations around here.

Why do you need to set up a phantom array after entering the entrance?
Ryan was a little puzzled.

More importantly, the others were gone. He was the only one left around, and all the members of the third team were missing.

"Am I the only one who came in?" Ryan frowned and thought: "It shouldn't be like this. We were all standing by the entrance at the time. After the node was broken, we must all have come in."

"Maybe it was just teleported to a different place." Ryan thought to himself.

It doesn't matter if he is the only one coming in. Harvey has already reported the situation and coordinates to the church before the formation was broken, and the second wave of troops should be coming soon.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ryan relaxed to explore the surrounding environment,

At this moment, he was in an empty disc-shaped room surrounded by a circle of gray stone walls, with many withered vines and dense moss on it, as well as watermarks and mold spots that penetrated deeply into the depths of the stone.

Ryan looked up, and there was still a sun hanging high in the sky outside the window, as if he had returned to the surface.

The effect of the phantom array surprised him a little. If he didn't know that he entered the ruins from underground, he wouldn't even realize that the sun in the sky was fake.

Walking out of the room, a huge and dark underground city appeared in front of Ryan.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable. When he looked up, there was a scorching sun hanging high in the sky, but the sun couldn't reach all the places. Many buildings were shrouded in darkness, just like the modules in the game screen appeared. same as missing.

"It seems that the history of this ruin is longer than I imagined, and even that powerful formation can hardly support it." Ryan thought to himself.

The room he stayed in just now belonged to a street on the edge of the ruins, and there were many identical houses nearby.

Ryan tried to push away a few rooms for inspection, but found no other people. He also noticed that the structure of each room was exactly the same, and even the moss on the wall was intact, as if it was a directly copied scene. .

This weird sight gave Ryan some goosebumps.

In the darkness shrouded in sunlight in the distance, some vague images can be vaguely seen, which seem to be tall buildings, dense forests and some stone towers. A large number of stone pillars and suspended ceilings are interspersed between treacherous passages and caves, and shadows and lights reflect each other with.

Ryan carefully followed the route of the street to the shadow.

After careful observation, he found that the situation on the street just now was not an exception. Most of the buildings were directly copied and pasted, and it was not a copy between individual buildings, but a copy and paste of an entire area.

And this kind of copy is very discordant, especially at the junction of the two areas, it can't be integrated at all. A house may have completely different floors on the left and right. He has seen it several times on the way here.

This made Ryan a little suspicious. Could it be that he is still in the phantom array and has not entered the interior of the ruins?
After hesitating for a moment, he chose a building next to him for analysis. The result was beyond his expectation. This place was indeed the remains of the Calamity Church, and these houses had a history of 6000 years.

"I remember that the Calamity Church appeared 5000 years ago."

"And these houses were built 6000 years ago?" Ryan was shocked, which was completely different from the history he saw.

This can't help but make him a little suspicious. Could it be that the records in the sacred light are wrong?
Of course, it may also be that his authority is not enough to see the real and complete information of the Church of Calamity.

Compared with the church's information, Ryan still believes in the results of the system analysis, at least so far the system has not made any mistakes.

As Ryan gradually penetrated into the center of the ruins, the surrounding buildings gradually became more normal, at least there was no such large-scale copy phenomenon as before.

"It's like an underground town here." Ryan was a little surprised. The scale of this place was even larger than that of Maple Leaf City on the edge of Luyin Town.

Such a large area is almost equivalent to hollowing out a mountain peak, which is simply unimaginable power.

Destruction is always more difficult than creation. Such a large city could be built underground 6000 years ago. It is hard to imagine how powerful the Calamity Church was at its peak.

After more than an hour of searching, Ryan probably took note of the terrain here.

The entire ruins can be roughly divided into three areas, each of which has its own unique structure and characteristics. The few streets copied on a large scale when he entered the ruins should be the outermost layer of the ruins.

The circle in the middle is full of primitive stench, and the long-lasting dead air and frost exudes in the cold air.

After going deep into the interior of the ruins, the building gradually becomes luxurious and refined, just like a retro-style villa.

Most of these houses are still shrouded by magic circles that can barely operate. Ryan did not take the risk of breaking through these formations. This kind of formation is usually a serial formation. No one has maintained it for so many years, just like a huge mountain of code shit , who knows what will happen after moving?
In such an ancient ruin, anything could appear, and he didn't intend to take any risks until he found other team members.

Fortunately, not all the magic circles of the villas are still intact, and the defensive magic circles of some villas have been completely destroyed.

There are a huge number of magic crystals piled up in these villas. It is a pity that the magic power in these magic crystals has been completely lost with the passage of time.

Along the way, he didn't find any trace of life, and the silence here was so depressing.

What surprised Ryan the most was a mountain in the center of the ruins.

What is this, a mountain in a mountain?
Just as he was hesitating whether to climb over the mountain, he suddenly noticed a cave at the foot of the mountain not far away.

After observing for a long time, Ryan walked carefully into the hole.

Although this ruin is a bit weird, he has not been attacked so far. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke those things that seem to be problematic, the magic circle in the ruins will not actively attack people. Except for attacking him at the beginning The weird fox.

The inside of the cave is much brighter than it looks from the outside, and there are obviously traces of human carvings. Walking into the cave, there are strange inscriptions everywhere. Ryan can barely recognize a few of them. These seem to be ancient magic that has long been abandoned Inscriptions, no one uses this kind of ancient runes to inscribe now.

Continuing to go deeper into the cave, murals began to appear in front of Ryan on the walls.

The first thing that appeared was a strange spot of light, which was glowing even on the wall, surrounded by many little people holding hands around it.

"Is this the spiritual dance of the Calamity Church?" Ryan frowned slightly.

What the villain on the mural did looked somewhat similar to what he had seen in the slums before, but what was the light spot in the middle?God of Disaster?

After silently memorizing the contents of the mural, Ryan continued to walk deep into the cave.

These murals are not coherent, there are many traces of destruction and alteration in the middle, a bit like a containment information that Ryan has seen before, there are weird icons like [■■] and [] everywhere, but if you ignore the missing Information, but barely can be considered a coherent story.

One of the paintings that impressed Ryan the most should be about the struggle between the Calamity Church and other churches. According to the meaning of the mural, the Calamity Church even had the upper hand at the beginning.

At the beginning, the light spot representing the God of Calamity has turned into a weird symbol at this time, and he seems to be competing with several other symbols for something.

"This is God's War?" Ryan suddenly remembered what Harvey said back then.

Continuing to look down, the ending was exactly as he thought. The symbol representing the God of Calamity was squeezed into the corner by several other symbols, and even a small part of the symbol was beyond the scope of the mural.

This corresponds to what Harvey said back then, "The disaster was expelled by the goddess and several other gods."

"Hiss..." Ryan was startled inwardly, this seemed a bit different from the history he had learned before.

Although the general direction is the same, the details are completely different.

"If you look at the meaning of the mural, the Church of Calamity seems to be one of the Orthodox Churches, even the most powerful church."

"Then the gods seemed to be fighting for something, which led to a war of gods."

"In the end, Calamity lost to several other gods and led to his expulsion. The Calamity Church lost the protection of the Father God, and was jointly wiped out by other Orthodox Churches."

"."

Although it is not certain whether what is said on the mural is true or not, Ryan feels that there should still be some credibility. After all, history is written by the victors, and it is not the complete truth.

After the war of gods, the murals began to come to an end, and the style of the paintings also began to change a lot, as if they did not record the same group of people.

"Huh? This is."

Ryan frowned and looked at the last mural. On the painting, the symbols representing several righteous gods gathered together. They seemed to have internal strife?
Then there was a long gap in the mural, with only some messy lines in the middle that had been repeatedly altered, and the content on it could not be discerned at all.

At this moment, Ryan could already see the exit of the cave. Just outside a corner less than 50 meters away from him, there was light coming in from there.

The array here has been in disrepair for a long time, and the periphery has begun to collapse. Those large-scale copied buildings and missing sunlight should be one of the signs of the collapse of the array.

Fortunately, the formation in the center can still maintain normal operation.

After silently writing down the content and incomprehensible parts on the mural, Ryan walked cautiously towards the exit.

Walking around the corner, what appeared in front of him was a bright and vast hall, and rows of stone pillars were stacked together in a strange shape, like one door after another.

"It seems that this place should be close to the center of the magic circle, and it can still maintain normal operation." Ryan looked up at the sun in the sky, which really made him feel a little dazzling.

Through the stone gates, Ryan entered the suspected church building behind the hall.

"Crack." A voice came.

"Who!" Ryan turned his head sharply, and the chains jumped out and wrapped around him in an instant.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, where have you been?!" Harvey stood at the door of the church, looking at him angrily.
