The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 826 The Cave at the Bottom of the Lake

As he was talking, the question of whether he can swim suddenly popped up. It was not that Petra's brain was finally amused, but that he had to dive to find the next clue.

The 'Go Beyond the Crimson, When the Three Kings Come' part of the hint has been deciphered, and 'Branch of the Unicorn' is the next step.

The starlight of the three kings constitutes the unique constellation 'Frost Leaf' on this plane. The branch of the Unicorn represents the Bicornus, which is completely opposite to the Frost Leaf. With the Frost Leaf as a reference, you can The position of Gemini is marked on the lake.

And at the bottom of the lake below this location, there must be some clues or something.

But to be honest, Brother Lin is not very willing to go into the water.

The water in this lake is full of red algae, and it is almost impossible to see where the water is. It must feel terrible to go straight down.

But after all, this is the only clue about the treasure. Petra insisted, so Lin Xiaoer naturally had no choice but to accompany her.

He took out the water-proof treasure that he used when he went to the Dragon Palace, and gave Petra a water-proof talisman, and the two jumped into the lake one after the other, and swam to the position of the 'Bicornus'.

The touch in the water was as uncomfortable as Lin Tianci thought, it felt sticky, and the water was still warm, it felt like swimming in a soak of urine...

This analogy is a bit disgusting.

Because the entire Red Valley will emit fire elements during the day, the highest temperature of the lake may exceed [-] degrees. Only now, near the early morning, the temperature of the lake is the lowest, and only now can you dive. The design clues of the year Eighty percent of people have also considered this issue.

Yes, it's not enough to just swim in the past, you have to dive down.

There is nothing on the lake, and it is impossible to put clues here. Petra estimates that there may be something at the bottom of the lake that is the next step.

So when the swim was almost over, Lin Tianci asked Petra to grab the corner of his cloak, and the two plunged deeper into it.

The water of this lake is not shallow, and the area is not small.If you don't know exactly where to dive, even if you find death, it is impossible to find the clues left by the predecessors.

Not to mention, the underwater visibility is also pretty bad.

Because of the large amount of red blood algae, the eyes are full of flowing, viscous red, like semi-coagulated blood plasma. Lin Tianci even has a wonderful illusion that he is swimming downstream in the sesame paste.

Because there is no target indicator at all, once you dive, you will even lose your way, thinking that you may be floating when you are diving.

That’s fine, at most it’s a bit of trouble, but if you think you’re going up, you’re going down…

So there is still a degree of danger, especially for mortals.

Even if unscientific means are used to solve the problem of underwater breathing, the direction is still an unavoidable difficulty.

For this reason, Lin Tianci had no choice but to activate the divine mind while going downstream, and diffuse his perception through the spell, to determine the direction and position like an underwater sonar, to ensure that he dived at the correct angle.

At the same time, he had to pay more attention to Petra, who was holding his cloak, to prevent her from accidentally falling behind.

Even with the help of corresponding spells, it took Lin Tianci almost a minute to find out where the bottom of the lake was, and with the help of divine thoughts, he found a place about two meters away on the left side of his position, which was enough to drill into. A circular cave with a diameter of more than one meter.

There is a hole that can be entered at a certain location, and it seems that it is probably related to the so-called reminder. Lin Tianci didn't hesitate much, and led Petra to swim there again.

It may be due to the algae, the edge of the hole feels very slippery, Lin Tianci clasps the depression of the hole wall, and drills into it step by step like climbing.

The entrance of the cave is not small, but the cave itself is not too deep. Lin Tianci knew through his perception that they had made a detour along the cave, and then he felt a relatively open space through the perception of divine thoughts.

Swimming along the cave, when he reached the entrance on the other side, Lin Tianci reached out and touched the outside.

Tentacles are dry ground with a touch similar to glass.

He pulled himself out of the water (or the algae) and reached out to pull Petra up, so that there was a lot of so-called 'empty space'.

It looks like it should be an underground cavity, because of the effect similar to the connector, water will not be poured into the hole.The area of ​​the cave is not particularly large, only more than a hundred square meters, forming a relatively regular rectangle.

But speaking of features...

With a snap of the fingers, two balls of light from the dancing light technique flew up to the top of the cave, and the light used for lighting had complex reflections in the cave, and just a little bit of light could fully reveal the details of the cave.

As far as the eye can see, there are white crystals everywhere, which look a bit like salt, but there are not many grains. It is more like some kind of white glass, which is plated on the rock like a coating.

Lin Tianci has a water-proof treasure in his hand, so he can guarantee that his clothes will not get wet.But the Water Repelling Talisman did not have this effect. Petra was covered with a layer of red algae all over her body, as if she had just been fished out after being thrown into a dyeing vat. Her nearly white silver hair had been dyed red and white. piece.

She wiped the red algae on her face, looked around and said:
"It should be a natural quartz cave, but there are still some traces of man-made repairs."

Speaking of quartz caves may be a bit difficult for everyone to understand. The main component of quartz is silicon dioxide, that is, crystal.So when the lighting of the dancing light technique shone in the past, the whole cave became bright.

Long or short crystals stick to the rock walls up and down, as if they were grown out.

The so-called traces of man-made repairs mainly refer to the entrance on the other side of the cave. The entrance is in a regular arch shape, and there seems to be a stone slab embedded in it, but it is not very clear from this side.

Petra went out of the bag with a hammer, and knocked a piece of crystal into her pocket with a bang, which ruined the atmosphere very much.

She shrugged to Brother Lin, and said:

"I'm very poor recently, so I'll charge some interest first."

All right, just be happy.

Even in the wizarding world, crystals can be regarded as a medium-valued gemstone, and it is really just a little interest.

Petra did not attack the other crystals, and even if he did, it would be impossible to remove all the crystals in the entire cave, there were too many.

The two maintained the formation of Lin Tianci in front of Petra in the back, step by step through the 'bush' formed by the crystal clusters, and took a little time to stand under the opposite hole.

There are some characters engraved on the stone slab inlaid above the hole, but there are serious signs of decay. To Lin Tianci, those things look like some patterns with unknown meanings.

Petra is an expert on the history of the old empire. Even she struggled to decipher the writing on it, and waited for four or five minutes before saying:

"The writing on it should be 'Only when the tyrant Nemesis is completely submerged in history can you enter this door'. It is probably a warning given by the person who left the clue."

Although Nemesis was a tyrant, it was true that his influence was exaggerated. In the era he lived in, even after his death, no one dared to act presumptuously, because it was widely rumored that Nemesis had an extremely loyal army. The secret army, even if the master is dead, still carries out his orders.

That's why the person who left the clues reminded the visitors that if Nemesis' influence didn't disappear completely, searching for his treasure might lead to death.

But it doesn't matter now, 3000 years have passed, and the old empire has long since disappeared.

Let's talk about murder...

Anyway, the girl Petra is no longer itchy if she has too many lice, and no worries if she has too many debts.

After Petra rubbed the stone carvings and put them in a waterproof bag for backup, the two ignored the warning and walked into the cave.

The inside of the cave is about the same as when you entered from the water before, not too long, but it is a bit steep, and you must be careful not to be scratched by the crystal protruding from the cave wall.

After walking for about 1 minute, the dancing light technique illuminated another open space ahead.

This is a smaller cave than before, but the density of crystals is also higher, and there are almost no traces of rocks, and translucent white crystals are everywhere, emitting a charming light.

However, there are more traces of man-made repairs here.

On the opposite side of the cave, you can see a half-person-high crystal monument. Because it is translucent, the densely packed scratches on it are not clear.

This is likely to be the hint for the next step.

Between the Crystal Monument and Lin Tianci, there are also floor tiles that look like they were polished with crystals. It can be seen that this is definitely not the uncanny workmanship of nature, and the traces of production are too obvious.

Lin Tianci scanned around and confirmed that there were no traces of traps or magic traps. He was about to take Petra forward when she pulled Brother Lin.

"Wait, there is a trap ahead."

With that said, Petra took out a metal tube from her bag, pulled it with both hands, and pulled out a long stick similar to a baton, but much longer than a baton.

She used this thing as a cane, and tapped hard on the floor tiles in front of her twice.

The floor tile visibly shook, and then slid down, revealing a square cavity, followed by a crisp cracking sound.

Lin Tianci looked inside along the entrance of the cave, and saw a metal spear with serious corrosion marks underneath. It must have been there for many years, but it is still no problem to stab people to death.

"You seldom go to the ruins and treasure hunt when you see it. The floor tiles in this kind of inexplicable place almost put the word 'traps' on your face."

Lin Tianci really seldom does this. He always has Sai Li to guide him to the ruins of the ancient elves, so he doesn't need to think about it at all.

Petra obviously had a lot of experience in archaeology, or treasure hunting and adventure.

By the way, this girl's painting style is sometimes quite changeable, sometimes she is a chatty old pedant, and sometimes she is an experienced adventurer. When you think she is stupid and cute, you will suddenly be frightened by her shrewdness. one jump.

Although this simple trap of 'falling into a hole' could not threaten Lin Tianci, since there was an easier way, he didn't need to take the risk by himself.

The correct route through this area of ​​floor tiles should belong to the part of 'word of mouth', but no one knows that part now, so we can only knock off all the movable floor tiles in a stupid way to find a safe path. way.

Petra said that the mechanism traps here are quite simple to make, after all, you can use the method of exploring the path to get there, she has seen even worse ones, once you choose too many wrong options, the entire underground palace will collapse...

It's not easy for this girl to live such a big life.
