Chapter 197 Inverted Tree

There are torches, ropes and other materials specially prepared by the pirates for the next exploration. To pick up a point.

Milan has snapped his fingers first.

Pop——

A bright sphere of light was born out of nowhere, hovering above the heads of the three people, making the interior of the dim ruins instantly bright as day, and also startling Gary.

However, Alwin had already greeted him in advance, and the reaction was not too intense, just silently put down the torch in his hand.

Even as a “seeker” who has given up most of his offensive spellcasting abilities, Milan is an official wizard anyway, and some generic little spells are nothing difficult for him.

The Illumination light came on, and at first sight Alwin caught the attention of a very simple tree-like figure on the stone wall.

As if carved directly into the smooth stone wall with a chisel, a mysterious figure consisting of ten circles and twenty-two diameters is drawn with very simple lines.

Alwin was attracted to it not because of its novelty and rarity, but in fact, its frequency in various mysticism books is actually not low at all.

He is called “Life Tree”, “Inverted Tree”, “God’s Staircase”, which Alwin had seen in several basic mysticism books while in “Shadow Library” graphics.

In the legend, this is the knowledge passed down by one of the sources of wizards, “the oldest school”, which hides the ultimate secret between man and god in this world!

However, although this graphic is widely circulated, throughout the history of Transcendent World, no one can prove that he has really discovered the secret from it.

“Is it a fallen tree? Could this relic have something to do with it?”

A single thought was immediately pressed down by Alwin, and the “inverted tree” graphic was very helpful to the wizard The meaning of world is the same as the meaning of “Yin-Yang Diagram” of Alwin’s previous life to Taoism.

There are countless branches and factions, vast as the open sea, that have been passed down from it, and you can never guess it by blind guessing.

Aiming at Milan and Gary nodded, as the martial power of the three, Alwin took the lead, and the two of them held the flanks and moved forward cautiously in a cautious defensive formation.

Because the entrance itself is at the top of the tower, the three people proceeded to the depths of the ground along a spiral slope that continued to extend underground. After completely passing through the artificial buildings on the ground, there are only rock steps and rock walls without any gaps left, as if the entire island under your feet is a giant rock.

But it is worth mentioning that even though it has gradually penetrated into the ground, there is no dull and corrupt feeling in the breath. Obviously it may be very old, but the ventilation system here is still very smooth.

Soon, without encountering any danger, they came to a relatively spacious underground hall.

zhi zhi zhi

Alarmed by the light of the “Illumination”, a large group of bats, which were not much smaller, immediately swooped down.

But they were just some ordinary creatures. The Alwin long sword turned into a sharp sword light, and the body turned into a gust of wind, which had already cut down all the bats that came. More bats saw that the situation was far from good, then fled to the depths of darkness and disappeared in a blink of an eye

The faces of the three people were as usual, and to them experienced, this scene was even an appetizer. Not really.

Step forward.

Ta Ta Ta

The military boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground, and reverberated continuously in the underground space.

It can be seen by the light of the illumination technique that the classically carved Tuscan stone pillars hold up this circular underground space, where they finally discovered the former The footsteps of the “Explorers”.

But by this time they were all part of the ruins.

Dried bloodstains, broken bones, corpses that have been dried but unrecovered, various weapons discarded, it seems that the last exploration was built at least a few years ago with the outside wood house The times roughly match.

Fortunately, the ventilation in this underground space is smooth, and there is no strong odor left.

However, the strange thing is that there was no sign that the pirates were attacked by anything.

On the contrary, among the corpses of the pirates were many marble statues that were stained with pirates’ blood and had been shattered, as if the pirates had carried out some kind of planned destruction of the “furnishings” here during their lifetimes.

“These sculptures should be antiques, right? Pirates are really reckless waste of natural resources. Not only real gold and white silver are valuable in the ruins!”

Born in wealth and wealth, they are quite fond of antiques. Milan, who has researched, saw the fragmented statue, but was distressed by the behavior of the pirates.

“Be careful! It’s only a few years away, and the things that killed them may still be living here.”

All three are experienced naval officers, seeing the At the same time as the corpse, he has become vigilant at the same time. Milan just cursed, and didn’t even move her footsteps.

“Can you tell what it is?” Milan asked Alwin in a low voice, looking around, always alert to movements in the dark. He knew that Alwin’s ability was better than himself in terms of distinguishing these details.

“Some of the skeletons are broken all over, but the clothes are still intact, and it looks like they were forcibly strangled by some kind of python or something.

Some obviously Was it some kind of bludgeoning, rock or Warhammer or something? There are indeed similar weapons on the ground, but I don’t know if they belonged to pirates or attackers, are there any humanoid intelligent creatures that can use weapons?”

Alwin opened his “digital vision” to carefully screen, facing mysterious ruins and enemies with unknown means that may jump out at any time, no matter how careful he is.

This is also one of the rules that explorers need to abide by when they are on an adventure.

“It seems that they have encountered a very tragic blocking battle here!”

To be cautious, Alwin called out in his heart, wanting the summon seabirds to come forward. Investigate.

didn’t expect Immediately, a very strong resistance came from the bottom of my heart. It was not the pure fear when they faced Evil God. It seemed that there was something deep in the ground that made them fear with extremes. disgusting things.

No way, my seabirds scout spells are not forcing creatures to dominate spells, and they can’t let them go against the instincts of creatures.

Alwin looked towards Milan.

The latter understood immediately, closed his eyes for a moment and replied: “If you continue to move, you will encounter enemies, but the omen of death is not obvious.”

“Go ahead, be careful!”

Although they can’t beat the original White Shark Skook now, they rely on the part-time wizard road and Mystic Knowledge which is far richer than that of Skook.

Knowledge is sometimes more useful than martial power, at least in ruin exploration.

The three people slowed down and continued to move forward, passing a stone platform in the middle of the rotunda. At this time, it had broken and fell to the ground, and they did not know what was originally placed on it.

Obviously if “White Shark Skook” is the first visitor, there is a high probability that the things above have already fallen into his hands.

There are three exits in different directions of the hall, and the door in the middle has been opened.

The leader Alwin glanced up at the ceiling and hesitated slightly, then turned to walk through the open door.

Behind the gate is a long and narrow corridor, on the walls are painted various grotesquely shaped creatures, plants, animals, terrestrial, aquatic, some are not much different from the outside world, but some But it is like a hybrid breed, which is unbearable to look at.

It looks like some kind of laboratory for biochemical experiments. Even after hundreds of years, the paintings are still very bright, giving people the illusion that the owner here was still here yesterday.

Ta Ta Ta

In this deep underground place, there is nothing but the sound of a few people’s footsteps. Although no “monster” came out in the dark, the deep oppression and tense atmosphere in the dark underground were accumulating little by little, and even if the breathing was smooth, it made people feel a slight suffocation.

Breathing – Breathing –

With the sound of slightly heavy breathing, the three of them came to another round hall very smoothly.

Compared with the previous hall, the shape and furnishings here have not changed much. The pirate corpses that fell on the ground are much less than the previous one, but from the perspective of clothing and equipment, the level is obviously higher, and the martial power is also high. stronger.

It looks like the bottom pirates were almost wiped out in the previous hall. Although the elite pirates successfully came here, they were not spared.

“Has the thing that killed the pirates left?”

Milan looked at the empty hall with nothing but the corpses of the pirates, and was even more curious about what the secret enemy was. .

After all, there are pirate bodies on the ground, but like the previous hall, except for broken sculptures and some dry branches, there is no trace of unknown enemies left.

“I don’t know where the enemy is, but I think you should take a look at the ceiling! I have some guesses about this.”

At Alwin’s reminder, Milan and Gary looked up at the same time and saw a huge and intricate circular symbol carved on the ceiling.
