Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 197: fallen tree

The torches, ropes and other materials specially prepared by the pirates for the next exploration are piled at the door of the ruins, and Gary is about to pick up a point.

　　

　　 Milan has snapped his fingers first.

　　

　　 slap——

　　

　　 A bright ball of light was born out of thin air and hovered above the heads of three people, making the interior of the dim ruin instantly bright as day, and it also frightened Gary.

　　

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

　　

　　 Even a "seeker" who has given up most of his offensive spellcasting abilities, Milan is still an official wizard no matter what, and some common small spells are not a problem for him.

　　

The light of 　　 "Illumination" came on, and at the first glance Ivan was attracted by a very simple tree-like figure on the stone wall.

　　

　　 seems to be carved directly on a smooth stone wall with a chisel, using very simple lines to outline a mysterious figure composed of ten circles and twenty-two paths.

　　

　　 Aiwen is attracted by it not because of how novel and rare it is. On the contrary, the frequency of its appearance in various occult books is actually not low at all.

　　

　　 He is called the "Tree of Life", "The Fallen Tree", and "The Stairway of God". When he was in the "Shadow Library", Aiwen had seen this figure in many basic occult books.

　　

　　In the legend, this is the knowledge passed down by the "oldest school", one of the sources of wizards, and it hides the ultimate secret between man and **** in this world!

　　

　　 Although this graphic has been widely circulated, no one can prove that he really discovered the secret from the history of the extraordinary world.

　　

　　 "A fallen tree? Is this ruin related to it?"

　　

　　A thought came up and was immediately suppressed by Aiwen. The meaning of the "inverted tree" to the wizarding world is the same as the meaning of Aiwen's "Yin and Yang" to Taoism in his previous life.

　　

　　 There are so many branches and factions that have spread from it. You can never guess by guessing, and you will know if it is related to seeing it with your own eyes.

　　

　　 nodded at Milan and Gary. As the force of the three, Ivan took the lead in the front, and the two of them guarded the flank separately and proceeded carefully with a cautious defensive formation.

　　

　　Because the entrance itself is on the top of the tower, the three people walked deep underground along a spiral **** that continued to extend underground. After completely passing through the artificial building on the ground, there are only rock stairs and rock walls without a trace of cracks, just like the entire island under your feet is a giant rock.

　　

　　 But it’s worth mentioning that even though it has gradually gone underground, there is no dull and corrupt feeling in my breath. Obviously the age 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.

　　

　　 squeak....

　　

　　 was alarmed by the light of "Illumination", a large group of huge bats not much smaller than wolfhounds immediately pounced down.

　　

　　 But they are just ordinary creatures. With the sharp sword light of Aiwen's long sword, his body turned into a gust of wind, and all the bats that had come were cut off. More bats fled to the depths of darkness when they saw the bad situation, and disappeared in a blink of an eye...

　　

　　The faces of the three people are as usual. To them who have experienced many battles, this scene is not even an appetizer.

　　

　　 stepped forward.

　　

　　 step on.. step on.. step on..

　　

　　 Army boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground, echoing continuously in the underground space.

　　

　　Through the light of lighting technique, one can see that one by one very classically carved Tuscan stone pillars propped up this circular underground space, where they finally discovered the former "explorers" Footprint.

　　

　　 But at this time they have all become part of this ruin.

　　

　　 Dried bloodstains, broken bones, corpses that have been air-dried but no one has converged, and various weapons that have been thrown away. It seems that the last exploration was at least a few years ago and the time when the outside wooden house was built roughly coincided.

　　

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

　　

　　 But what makes people feel strange is that the pirates were not attacked by anything at all.

　　

　　 Instead, the corpses of the pirates were mixed with a lot of marble statues stained with pirate blood and shattered, as if the pirates had done some planned destruction of the "furnishings" here before they were alive.

　　

　　"These sculptures should be antiques, right? Pirates are really violent artifacts. Not only real gold and silver in the ruins are valuable!"

　　

　　 Milan, who was born in wealth and has a lot of research on antiques, saw the fragmented statue, but felt distressed by the behavior of the pirates.

　　

　　 "Be careful! It's just a few years, the things that killed them may still live here."

　　

　　 All three of them are experienced naval officers, and they have become vigilant at the same time as they see the bones everywhere. Milan just cursed and didn't move.

　　

　　 "Can you tell what it is?" Milan looked around, always alert to the movement in the dark, while whispering to Aven. He knew that Aiwen's ability was better than himself in distinguishing these details.

　　

　　"Some of the corpses are broken, but the clothes are still intact, and it looks like they were strangled by some kind of pythons.

　　

　　 Some obviously suffered some kind of bludgeoning, a stone or a weapon like a warhammer? There are indeed similar weapons on the ground, but I don’t know if it belongs to a pirate or an attacker. Are there any humanoid intelligent creatures that can use weapons? "

　　

　　 Aiwen opened a "data-based vision" to carefully screen, and in the face of mysterious ruins and enemies with unknown means that may jump out at any time, you can't be too careful.

　　

　　 This is also one of the rules that explorers need to follow when adventuring.

　　

　　 "It looks like they have encountered a very tragic resistance here!"

　　

　　 To be cautious, Ivan called out from the bottom of his heart, wanting to summon the seabirds to come forward and investigate.

　　

　　 Unexpectedly, an extremely strong emotion of resistance immediately came from the bottom of my heart. It was not the pure fear when fighting against the evil god, as if there was something deep underground that made them fear with extreme disgust.

　　

　　 There is no way, my own seabird detection spell is not a compulsory creature-dominant spell, and we can’t let them rebel against the instincts of creatures.

　　

　　 Aiwen looked at Milan.

　　

　　The latter realized it immediately, closing his eyes for a while and replied: "If you continue to act, you will encounter the enemy, but the sign of death is not obvious."

　　

　　 "Go ahead, be careful!"

　　

　　Although they can't beat the original white shark Skok now, they rely on a part-time wizarding path and far more mystical knowledge than Skok.

　　

　　 At least in ruins exploration, sometimes knowledge is more useful than force.

　　

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

　　

　　 Obviously if "Scook White Shark" was the first visitor, the above things have probably fallen into his hands.

　　

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

　　

　　 Lead Aiwen raised his head and glanced at the ceiling, then hesitated a little, then turned to walk into the door that opened.

　　

　　 Behind the gate is a long and narrow corridor. On the walls are painted various strange-shaped creatures, such as plants, animals, terrestrial and aquatic. Some are not very different from the outside world, but some are like hybrids. The same, people can't bear to look straight.

　　

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

　　

　　 step on.. step on.. step on..

　　

　　 There is no other way than the sound of a few people's footsteps in a place that doesn't know how deep the ground is. Although no "monsters" sprang out in the darkness, the deep pressure and tension in the dark underground are accumulating little by little, and even if the breathing is smooth, it makes people feel a slight suffocation.

　　

　　 exhale——inhale——

　　

　　 With the sound of slightly heavy breathing, the three people came to another round hall very smoothly~ IndoMTL.com~ The shape and furnishings here have not changed much compared with the previous hall, and the dead pirate corpse on the ground is better than the previous one. A lot less, but from the perspective of clothing and equipment, the level is obviously higher and the force is stronger.

　　

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

　　

　　"Has the thing that killed the pirates left?"

　　

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

　　

　　 After all, there are corpses of pirates on the ground, but like the previous hall, there are no traces of unknown enemies except for the broken sculptures and some dry branches.

　　

　　 "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 thing."

　　

　　 At Ivan’s reminder, Milan and Gary looked up at the same time and saw a large and complex circular symbol carved on the ceiling.
