The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 242 Dusty Ruins (5)

The bad news wasn't that a monster popped up suddenly that the two of them couldn't beat together, nor did it trigger any particularly disgusting trap, but that Lin Tianci found that the combination of these stone bridges and running water was unusual, and it wasn't just for the sake of looking good. Designed.

He picked up the force of the wind, repeatedly jumped several times into the air, and looked at it from above.

The combination of these bridges and running water is not so much for aesthetics, but more like a specific formation.

Although magic and comprehension seem to have nothing to do with each other, they actually have some things in common. There seems to be more common ground in formations. Haven't you seen that there are a bunch of teleportation formations in the Dakong faction?
The magic array is not difficult to learn for monks who are good at formations, because it has many similarities with the formations of Eastern Shenzhou.

Lin Tianci's grades in formations are relatively mediocre, and he can't crack formations that are too advanced, at least he knows them.

It is also because of the understanding that this arrangement can be seen at a glance as a formation, and the arrangement of the formation is for the internal effect, not for the external defense against foreign enemies.

As for the specific effect...

Don't embarrass Brother Lin, who has passed the test for a long time, because his major is not right for him.

When Lin Tianci came back, he told Mei Li about his guess. The latter's expression changed, and he quickly removed the gauntlet, and reached into the breastplate with great difficulty to find the pendant for detecting demons, and confirmed that the gem on it was still intact. It was azure blue like the sky, and it didn't turn into a dazzling red, so I was relieved.

"A similar relic was discovered before. At that time, there was a demon that just broke the seal. The entire church united hundreds of adventurers and re-sealed it at the cost of huge casualties."

"The demons you are talking about, can't that thing be completely killed?"

"Not in our strength."

Meili shook her head and said:
"If you want to completely kill the demons, you need to use a particularly powerful magic attack, but our magicians can't do it. To be honest, Lin Tianci, you are already the top spellcaster I have ever seen."

Are you so weak?

Lin Tianci's current cultivation base is below the 8th rank of the human rank, and after a few days of practice, he can reach the level of the 5th rank. This level of cultivation is still at the bottom in Eastern China, and at least after the [-]th rank is considered combat effectiveness.

However, Lin Tianci is already one of the top spellcasters here...

Come to think of it, it's actually quite normal.

Whether it is magic or Taoism, they are all things that rely on inheritance. Taoism must have been particularly weak when it was first invented, and it has developed to today's level through the continuous improvement and hard work of generations of monks.

And Mei Li's civilization on this plane had a very obvious gap, and the knowledge about magic naturally couldn't be completely preserved, which made their magicians very weak.

So so far, the main force fighting against monsters is still warriors. After all, as long as warriors are talented and train hard, they can improve their combat effectiveness step by step. I just don’t know where the ceiling of their warriors is, no matter how pure their physical strength is. Strong, and there is no way to compare with the monks of Eastern China.

Found a formation hidden in the surrounding environment, which already shows that there was or is still something here, and considering the tragedy of the mine above, it is likely that the monsters that were originally here ran out.

It's just that where the thing went and what it is remains to be discussed, which is also the goal of their next exploration.

And before your eyes, the most obvious thing is the area surrounded by walls in the center of the underground cavity.

The two of them walked there cautiously step by step, and Mei Li looked at the pendant every few steps, and stared at it almost the whole time. It seemed that the status of the demons in this plane might be no different from a natural disaster.

Along the way, there were no traps and no monsters. Apart from Meili's iron boots, there was the gentle sound of running water under the bridge.

The distance is not too far, after all, it is quite an open space, which can be seen at a glance.

The two walked carefully along the stone bridge for a few minutes, and after going around the area surrounded by the wall, they found an arched doorway that could be entered.

It looked like a small square of about [-] square meters, and there was nothing in the square, so there was nothing to say.

Lin Tianci used the talisman technique to shoot out several light talismans in succession, and let them stick to the wall or ceiling to serve as lighting, so that he could roughly see everything clearly.

Only then did they see that at the end of the square there was a very thick tree, or a tree root.

It is certainly not a living plant, more like a root carving that has been cut down, without the trunk or crown, leaving only the huge tree roots poking at the end of the square, close to the wall.

The two slowly approached the square, and Mei Li leaned over and touched the pattern on the ground and said:

"These patterns are like magic circles, but they have already failed."

No matter how ignorant Meili knew about magic, she could at least see if the magic circle was in effect, because the effective magic circle would emit light, while the lines engraved on the ground were just ordinary dents, without any aura at all.

Lin Tianci's gaze was attracted by the tree roots placed at the end of the square, and he could clearly feel that the ghost energy around him was absorbed by it.

Strange to say, the tree root looks more like a root carving art, but in this relic with an unknown age, the wooden products may have decayed a long time ago. Don't forget that this place is surrounded by flowing water, and the air The humidity in the air will definitely make wood products decay and mold very quickly.

But it didn't show any signs of decay, instead it could absorb ghost energy.

At first, Lin Tianci thought it was the function of some kind of tree unique to this plane. When he asked Mei Li, she said that there was no record of such a tree.

"Don't touch the tree root. It doesn't look dangerous for the time being. Let's check the surroundings first, and leave the rest of the investigation to our church's professional investigation team."

Mei Li is really handy in picking up the epee and slashing people, but it involves things such as magic circles and history...

There is a specialization in the art industry.

So they didn't approach the tree roots at all, but set their eyes on the two stone gates on both sides of the square.

As I said before, this area is surrounded by walls, and the two stone gates are naturally invisible from the outside. You can only find them when you walk into the square.

The stone gates are one on the left and one on the right, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the square. Judging from the shape of the outer wall, the rooms behind the gates are all about the same size.

They first ran to the stone door on the left to check. Lin Tianci was lucky enough to confirm that there was no magic trap, so he tried to push the door.

The stone gate is very exquisitely made, and the intricate patterns are still clearly visible, and its handle is also directly carved.

However, no matter whether Lin Tianci pushed or pulled, or swiped both ends like a sliding door, he couldn't make the stone door move.

Push it in with your shoulders, and you can clearly feel the shaking, which means that the stone door can indeed be opened, but it may be that the mechanism for opening the door is broken, or there is a heavy object behind the stone door. powerless.

When she was wondering whether to take out the stone soldier talisman to try, Meili patted Lin Tianci on the shoulder:

"let me try"

So the two exchanged positions, Lin Tianci turned his back to Meili to guard the surroundings, and Meili put down the heavy sword.Instead of pushing or pulling like Lin Tianci, she inserted her armor-protected fingers into the gap under the stone door.

Hearing her hey, Lin Tianci turned his head and saw that Mei Li actually pushed the stone door directly from the door frame...

Bring it out!

How strong is this girl, even if Shi Bing wrestled with her, she would be the one who was abused.

And this is definitely not the limit of Meili's strength, because after she lifted the stone gate that was taller than herself, she didn't seem to be struggling at all, and she even had the strength to gently put the stone gate on the ground, trying not to make too much noise...

It is estimated that little brother Lin has no hope of achieving this kind of tough gameplay in his life.

Reaching out and waving the dust, Meili stepped into the room first, holding the talisman of light, and Lin Tianci followed closely behind her.

What came into view was a small room of about ten square meters, and there were four rusty metal levers on the floor of the room. Their orientations were different, and they seemed to be the levers of some mechanism.

Other than that, there is nothing else in this room.

"It's like some kind of mechanism. I heard scholars say that similar levers are often found in the ruins of the previous generation, relying on magic or gear machinery to control the mechanical or spell effects at a distance."

Mei Li walked to the side of the lever, tried to move it, and found that those things seemed to be still working, and they didn't fall apart when touched, but there was no way of knowing what it was.

After a little research, but found nothing useful, the two exited the room again and walked to the stone gate on the right side of the square.

This time Lin Tianci simply didn't try to be brave, and it would be more reliable to leave the hard work to Meili.

They still lifted the door directly without any effort, and this time they finally got something.

It was also a small room with only a dozen square meters. Compared with the room with only four tie rods and nothing else, this room seemed full.

The walls were engraved with words that Lin Tianci didn't understand, and almost every wall was filled, leaving not much space left.In the middle of the room, you can see a slightly weird magic circle.

It is about the size of a manhole cover, and it is a standard six-pointed star circle, but the outermost circle lines stretch out and connect to the other five circular notches surrounding it.

In the center of the five circular notches, except one of them is empty, the others are inlaid with gemstones of different sizes and colors. They shone with fascinating light under the light source, which is the most attractive to them. Something for two eyeballs.

As for gems, Lin Tianci knew about the natural materials and earth treasures of Eastern Shenzhou, but the four gems in front of him were already beyond the scope of his knowledge.

Fortunately, Mei Li knew her, she squatted down a little bit, carefully looked at the nearest red gemstone and said:

"This is a flame ruby, but I have never seen such a pure one. It is the most excellent carrier of fire spell amplification, and it is a priceless magic gem."
