The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 571 Lake

Figueras in dragon form has an advantage, that is, his dragon face is too huge, but he can hide his true emotions very well, especially when he closes his eyes.

This action lasted for a dozen breaths, and Allen could imagine Figueras' inner struggle. After all, what Cosmo said now was indeed a reasonable threat to Figueras.

For decades, Figueres has been planning things about the ruins. Now that he has arrived at the place where the ruins are, suddenly a group of hitchhikers appear halfway to take advantage of the place. This makes the already selfish dragon temporarily confused. How can my son accept it!

"Figueras, you have to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise if the drow come back to fight again, I'm afraid another group of people will get involved!!"

Cozmo knew a little bit about the dragon's character, and he kept adding fuel and jealousy, disrupting Figueras' thoughts.

In fact, Cozmo also knows that Figueras, who holds the key to the Brilliant Heart Channel, has more room for maneuver. Coupled with his long lifespan as a dragon, he can't afford it in terms of time; on the other hand, Cozmo Silence yourself, you only have a few decades left to live. If you don't win this last hope, you may never have another chance in the future.

"Humph!!!"

Figueras suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Cozmo with his amber vertical pupils, as if he wanted to devour this annoying guy with his eyes.

"First take out the so-called parchment in your hand and let us take a look. Who knows if you are lying!!"

Figueras also had his own considerations. The test of being a giant dragon for three thousand years was just around the corner, and the pain in his chest was always reminding Figueras of his situation at this time. If he didn't cooperate with Cozmo and returned home, he didn't know what would happen next time he came back.

Allen is the partner that Figueras found after a lot of effort. Whether it is in terms of personality or strength, Figueras thinks he is the most suitable choice. If he leaves like this this time, he is not sure about Allen. Will you go with me next time?

Anyway, Figueras can feel that Allen cares about his tribe far more than he cares about improving his own strength. This is very different from the leaders of many tribes in the wilderness. With Allen's character, if he leaves the tribe for too long,

"Then you agree?"

Cozmo's eyes were bright, and he was secretly happy. At the same time, he patted his hand on his waist, and an old and blackened parchment appeared in his hand. Cozmo shook the parchment and asked in a voice.

"Let's put the ugly words first. After entering the ruins, we all went to different places and had nothing to do with each other!!"

Figueras' eyes were sinister and terrifying, and he suppressed the restless emotions in his heart without venting them, and roared fiercely.

"If you dare to provoke me again in the ruins, I will definitely tear you into pieces and eat you as a snack!!"

"I swear to the Dragon God!!"

"Good! Good!!"

The corners of Cozmo's eyes raised slightly, complying with Figueras' request.

However, Allen, who was watching from the sidelines, saw a look of disdain from the depths of the other party's eyes. It seemed that the other party was not as obedient as he appeared on the surface!
  "You can hand over the parchment now!!"

"Here you go! Go on!!"

Whoa! !

As the parchment was thrown at Figueras, a green magical light flashed, and Figueras transformed into the face of a bugbear again. He took the parchment with one hand and unfolded it to view its contents.

"...What is this?? Emerald-like eyes stare into the deep sky, unchanged from time immemorial. Are there endless secrets hidden under the pupils? And they seem to be connected to another world, empty and ethereal?"

The parchment was written in common script. Figueras read the contents of the small parchment clearly at a glance. Apart from stating the ancient legends about the Brilliant Heart and the ruins, the parchment only left a few words in the end. A few lines of poetry with no preface and no follow-up.

Looking at these abrupt verses, Figueras had no clue at all. He turned it over and checked it carefully. After confirming that there was no other content, Figueras raised his head and turned his attention to Cozmo. Be prepared to confront the other person about their deception.

"These few poems should be a description of the location of the ruins passage. Over the years, I have been studying what the poems want to express whenever I have time. It was not until I came to Crescent Lake that I understood what the poems wanted to express. Content."

Cozmo was very straightforward, speaking out his thoughts before Figueras could get angry.

"Come on, come on, follow me!!"

Under Cozmo's greeting, Allen and the others flew deep into the Night Fury Mountains until they arrived at Crescent Lake. Cozmo pointed to the narrow lake below and asked, "Look at this lake. , like what?”

"What does it look like? Isn't it just like a new moon?"

Figueras lowered his head, glanced twice, then raised his head and said impatiently.

Allen and the other two legends did not raise their heads and carefully observed the land under their feet. Since Cosmo asked, he naturally had his reasons, so Allen combined the two words just spoken from Figueras' mouth. In this poem, I kept looking at the undulating mountains and the clear blue lake.

Emerald eyes... secret... another world...

Allen was thoughtful and had some ideas in his mind, but he was not very sure. Just when he was about to ask Cosmo, the voice of the kobold took the initiative.

"Don't you think this curve of amber is actually like an eye?"

"I visited the lake bay and dug a hole dozens of meters deep in the lake bay extending hundreds of meters into the forest. The rocks and minerals in the ground confirmed my conjecture. The former Crescent Lake was not the one we have now. It seems that the terrain has changed over the past countless years, and a mountain range around Crescent Lake collapsed and deposited, so a flat depression appeared in the inner bend."

"So I think that the passage to this ruins should be in the center of Huhu. Otherwise, it is an adjective for both emerald and eyes. It would be difficult to find other substitutes."

Because the key to truly entering the passage was in Figueras, and there was also a drow who was looking at him who didn't know when he would come back, Cozmo simply put together all the clues he had thought about over the years and the answers he had obtained from field investigations. He told the people present.

"Then what if it's not?"       "Wouldn't you know if you try it? ?"

Several figures swooped down and took action directly, arriving at Figueras above the lake. When he took out the crystal pendant, which was as bright and crystal clear as a star in the sky, Allen could feel Coz The breathing of Mo and Ariel changed a little, including of course Allen himself.

Taking out the Brilliant Heart, Figueras' expression became serious. The energy in his body poured into the crystal. At the same time, his mental power also activated the magic runes hidden in the crystal one by one. The crystal suddenly gave off a faint white halo and slowly spread out. range of tens of meters.

Several people observed attentively and carefully felt the movements around them, but half the magic hour passed, and the surrounding environment did not see any changes. A faint disappointment gradually appeared on their faces.

However, everyone also knows that there are no indicators in this vast area. Finding the passage is obviously a needle in a haystack, but they did not give up because the first search failed. After another discussion, they changed directions again, stopped a hundred meters away and continued their previous actions, but there was still no movement.

As time goes by, most of the area on the narrow Crescent Lake has been tried, but there is no magical resonance or any abnormality. Hundreds of failures wore away little by little Figueras's patience, and made Cozmo's confidence disappear little by little.

"Let me tell you, what is written on this parchment is all nonsense!! It must be just to bluff people!!"

The energy in the crystal disappeared, the halo gradually faded, and Figueras stopped pouring energy into it. He glanced around and carefully put away the crystal pendant.

"I still think that we should look for any remaining wreckage around us. Maybe that is the key!!"

A beast in the lake with no eyes suddenly sprang out, opened its bloody mouth and tried to attack several strong men on the lake. But obviously, this time it provoked a great being. Before its big mouth could bite the target, an invisible huge force suddenly restrained its body. With a pop, the beast that looked like a crocodile transformed into a beast. It turned into a ball of meat and fell into the water with a splash.

Soon, many fish smelled the food and gathered around, causing ripples on the lake.

"We haven't searched all the lakes yet. There aren't many areas left. Anyway, if you want to find the remaining ruins, it will be more time-consuming than it is now. You might as well test all the lakes."

"Okay, let's change the area?"

"How about we go into the bottom of the lake and have a look??"

Allen was reminded by Cozmo, so he also had his own thoughts. Looking at the center of Crescent Lake getting farther and farther away, he couldn't help but express his thoughts.

"Bottom of the lake??"

Cozmo's eyes also lit up. The poems on the parchment were somewhat vain and exaggerated, and he was not too sure about his guess, especially since there were no traces of ruins around, which could not provide any side evidence for his guess.

"really!!"

"However, will anyone build the ruins passage at the bottom of the lake? This is obviously not in line with common sense?"

Several other people were somewhat confused.

"According to the story you told me, the great being who set up this passage is comparable to a god, so it should be normal if it doesn't conform to common sense!!"

Allen reminded Figueras: "There have been many adventurers who have come to the Night Fury Mountains for countless years, but no one knew that this ruins existed, and no one discovered the remains of the ruins. This shows that we chose to hide this ruins in the first place. His existence is a matter of effort. In this case, if he wants to hide the passage, he will definitely choose a different method!!"

Allen's words made Figueras and others think deeply, and Cosmo supported them with bright eyes. Soon everyone came to a consensus and decided to give it a try.

None of the legends in the field are spellcasters. Although Figueras knows dragon spells, he doesn't know much about such unorthodox spells as underwater breathing and bubble spells. Therefore, if you want to sneak into the bottom of the lake, everyone still has to do it. You can only rely on your physical fitness to hold your breath.

Even though the legends are all powerful, if they stay at the bottom of the lake for too long, they may still drown. The only advantage is that the energy in their bodies can support them to hold their breath longer. Take Allen as an example. From the intermediate level, he held his breath in the Green Lake to train his strength. At the legendary level, he practiced on the bottom of the sea hundreds of meters deep in the endless sea in the west. His longest record of holding his breath was only twelve magic hours. That's all, he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.

In the world under the lake, keen hearing has become a decoration here. In the ears, there is a buzzing sound caused by the pressure of the water pressure on the eardrums. From time to time, groups of swimming fish pass by in front of you, looking at ease.

Allen and the others dived into the bottom of the lake. The silt that had settled over the years made it equally difficult for them to find the remains of the ruins. Under the lake water tens of meters deep, the light gradually became dim, but when the bright heart in Figueras's hand began to inspire a faint white halo, it just gave Allen and the others supplementary light, allowing them to see the scene better. The dark bottom of the lake.

The undercurrents stirred up by the swimming of several legends rippled around, and at the same time disturbed the creatures hiding underground, making the water at the bottom of the lake gradually become turbid.

While activating the sigil of the Brilliant Heart, haloes of light disappeared into the turbid lake water, Figueras swam forward using unskilled swimming skills. Allen and Cozmo, who followed closely behind, had bright eyes and concentrated minds. They kept shaking their heads and looking into the dim lake water around them.

"woo woo woo woo!!"

There is another very troublesome problem underwater, that is, the inability to communicate freely. When Allen sensed something strange and tried to tell his companions around him, all that came to their ears were bursts of whimpers and bubbles rising. The ground beeps.

Whoa!Whoa! !

In the end, several people had to float to the surface of the lake. When they exposed their heads on the lake, they were shocked to find that the originally smooth lake surface gradually began to ripple. When swimming at the bottom of the lake, the undercurrent created by each person's diving interfered with their perception. It was not until they emerged from the water that they discovered that at some point, the green lake began to slowly rotate around a certain fulcrum as the center. .

And just after Figueras emerged from the water holding the Brilliant Heart, this abnormal undercurrent gradually calmed down.

Such an abnormal phenomenon was enough to explain in front of Allen and others, and bursts of surprise burst out in the eyes of a group of legends.

"The passage really opens at the bottom of the lake!!"

"Hahaha!!!"

　As I wrote, I went off topic, and even if I tried to find a passage, I would waste a page. I feel sorry for everyone, but I have written everything, so I can’t waste it! !
