Demon King

Chapter 78: The lost city of the ancestors

   A round of scorching sun hung in the sky, and the venomous sunlight shone on this yellow desert, and the heat waves rolled.

   There are two figures lying in the desert, eyes closed, motionless.

   Suddenly, a figure's fingers moved, followed by a light trembling of eyelids. He slowly opened his eyes, one red and one blue pupils slowly focused, and the surrounding scenery slowly became clear from the double shadow.

   Ivo sat up abruptly and looked around in surprise. The moment he entered the entrance of the secondary space, his consciousness seemed to have been hit hard, and he was in a coma, and then he woke up in this desert.

   It seems that they have entered the ruin space.

   Ivo found Nafi who was sleeping. He wanted to wake her up with a big ear scraper. After thinking about it, it didn't seem appropriate. Finally, he adopted a gentle way, artificially...

   Nafei chucked, and gradually woke up, looking at the yellow sand all around, "Where are we?"

   Ivo spread his hands: "It should be the secondary space where the ruins are located."

Nafei sat up with a frown, raised her head to look at the sun, pinching her fingers to calculate something, and said for a long time: "The position of the sun is wrong, and it never moves. This secondary space is eternal day, and the flow of time is very slow here. Only three days before it can be worth a day in the Lord’s world."

   Ivo tut amazed: "How did you know?"

   "Every wizard is a learned scholar."

   Ivo stood up and looked around, the yellow desert stretched to the horizon, as if it was endless, the desert was dead and silent, and even the wind was silent, giving people a sense of despair.

   Na Fei is a little uneasy, but Ivo has a calm air. After all, after spending a long time in the purgatory of the battlefield of memory, he has long been immune to the severely deserted environment.

   Ivo suddenly looked in one direction. In the air distorted by the high temperature of the sun, there seemed to be a vague outline of the building a few miles away. He glanced at each other with Na Fei and moved forward in the direction of the building.

   marching forward under the sun, sweating all the way, after walking for nearly an hour, they approached the complex of buildings and opened their mouths in surprise. They turned out to be a huge city made of sand.

   The spacious street can accommodate five horse-drawn carriages side by side, and the buildings are made of yellow sand. There is an inexplicable force that keeps the sand condensed.

   The two of them are standing on the edge of the city, and the building is like a yellow forest extending into the city, out of sight.

   This city seems to be bigger than the city of Lasses. The difference is that this city is empty, only the wind and sand roar, and the atmosphere is full of death.

"There is no one in this city." Ivo said casually. He looked up at the sand houses on the roadside and found a feature. In the windows of each house, there were one or several bells hanging, but the hanging hammers seemed to be picked off. Go, there is only a rustle after the wind blows.

   The sound of thousands of dumb wind chimes is like the sound of sobs, as if this sand city is crying in a low voice

   Ivo shuddered, feeling the unknown breath in the ruined city.

   "No, there used to be people living here," Na Fei pushed open a house, pointed to the rotten wooden furniture in the house, frowned and said, "But I don't know what happened, everyone left the city."

   Without a clue, the two decided to explore the interior of the city.

   walked forward for two hours, the buildings on both sides were tall or short, and the monotonous ocher made people feel depressed. They walked from the outer circle of the city to the inner circle.

   The two suddenly stopped, and an extremely wide square appeared in front, and a ten-meter-high sand sculpture stood in the center of the square.

This sand sculpture is a burly half-man, half-animal man with a huge wolf dog head with erect ears. The eye pupils are dyed into a sky-like blue with color. Except for the head, it is a human body, showing proportions. Perfectly sturdy upper body, engraved with intricate tattoos, wearing a simple war skirt covering the thighs, leggings and sandals on his feet, holding a hunting horn curved like a horn in his left hand, and a wild twist in his right hand. spear.

   Ivo said in a surprised tone: "Idol? Which **** is this?"

Nafei looked confused. As far as she knew, there were four major gods in this world, the northern gods of Friega, the Odin gods of the continent of Odin, the gods of Muir, the natural gods of Carthage, and Abraham did not. Certain beliefs, but there is no record of this **** in the four major gods.

   Could it be more ancient gods?

With sharp eyes, Ivo caught a glimpse of a slightly raised sand-covered ground at the feet of the idol. He stepped forward and swept away the floating sand, revealing a black stone stele embedded in the ground with many unknown texts twisted like a snake. Wo felt dizzy when he glanced at it, and didn't know a word.

   "This is the ancestor's writing!" Na Fei looked at the stone tablet and exclaimed.

   "Ancestors?"

"It is said that the ancient gods created the world. The first calendar year recorded in history is the ancient divine calendar, also known as the First Era. It was the true ancient era, the first birth era of the world, and the race at that time was called the ancestor. "Na Fei exclaimed, "This is actually a relic of an ancestor?"

   "Then do you recognize these inscriptions?"

"I can only understand a few words." Na Fei pointed to her eyebrows, flipped through the memory of the ancestors' words, read the inscription slowly, and breathed out a long time later, "I only recognize five words, Seth, Sand, Altar, third, hall, sorry, I can’t understand the other thousands of words."

   Should I bring a linguist to explore the ruins in the future? !

Ivo is helpless. He knows too little about the city, and it is difficult to decide what to do next. It seems that this ruin has been abandoned for too long. It is hard to say whether there are treasures or not. The night watchman and the red-haired female leader may have been chased. When he came in, he hesitated.

The space ring on his finger suddenly beating slightly. Ivo moved in his heart and opened the space ring. The brass disk was keeping an unpleasant frequency with white light. He took out the brass disk from the space ring and held it in his hand. .

   The temperature of the brass disc gradually rises, as if a strange change is about to take place.

   Ivo secretly said that this disc was really weird. Putting the increasingly hot brass disc on the ground, the temperature of the disc rose rapidly, and the surrounding air began to twist.

   "Om——"

   The abnormal change suddenly appeared.

   Ivo and Nafi opened their mouths, their faces shocked.

  ……

Looking down on this relic city from a high altitude, it can be divided into three areas. The outer circle is bounded by the edge of the relic, and the inner circle is bounded by the three-character-shaped wolf dog statues—Ivo and Nafi are located in the inner circle. On the edge of the circle, the three-headed wolf dog statues are located in three directions, and the deepest area is the city center, which is shrouded in yellow sand, which is not real.

   It’s more appropriate to replace the inner and outer rings with one ring and two rings, but our background is not a modern city, so forget it.

In front of another wolfhound human idol, dozens of Templar knights are here. They woke up later than Ivo, and their location was different from Ivo, but they moved fast and reached the idol on the edge of the inner circle. .

   Balzac looked at the inscription and frowned: "What kind of weird text is this, and what is the age of this ruin?"

   Norrington was full of mana, and after trying the "floating technique" again, he looked irritable: "There is an inexplicable power that limits flying spells, and I can't fly."

   Jones closed his eyes and worshipped in front of the idol, Norrington sneered, "Do you know which **** this is?"

   "As long as it is a god, I must worship. This is the responsibility of the believer." Jones said firmly.

   "Knights who uphold the creed of justice are the most troublesome." Norrington was impatient, "Balzac, what shall we do next, whether to explore the ruins or hunt down heretics?"

   "Om——"

Suddenly, the ground trembled like an earthquake, and the floating sand was shaken up and down. In the deep inner circle of the ruins, three columns of blue, red, and yellow skyrocketing light rose up at three far apart locations, all ten miles away. Can be seen clearly.

The base of the huge wolfhound human idol made a mechanical clicking sound. The base slowly rotated half a circle. The idol that was originally facing outwards turned to the interior of the city. Its azure blue eyes shot out two blue rays of light towards the yellow sand. The city center is like a blue bridge across the sky.

   The statues in the other two directions have also undergone the same change, with four azure blue rays converging in the invisible city center.

   The sudden change caused the Templars to increase their vigilance.

The whole ruins suddenly rustled, and from the yellow sand on the ground, withered and rotten palms stretched out, countless ghouls and skeletons crawled out of the ground, and went straight to the living people of the Templars. Go, the number is densely packed, like a sea of ​​corpses.

"Ready to fight!" Although he didn't understand what had happened to the ruins, Balzac made a decisive decision and made arrangements in an instant, "Jones, you lead a team to hunt down heretics, Norrington, you take people to check these three The beam of light, I will take people to explore the city center and set off!"

   The Templars were divided into three groups, and the blade light, flame and holy light burst out, blasting out in the sea of ​​corpses.

  ……

   In the outer circle of the city, the red-haired female leader saw three beams of light from afar, her eyes flashed, and she chose to go to the blue beam of light. The exquisite dagger chopped out golden and red sword energy, and the nearby undead were crushed into bone powder.

  ……

   The brass disc floated in the air, a small hole opened under the disc, and a translucent projection appeared.

This is a projection of an old man, dressed in a luxurious red robe for the bishop, and from the wrinkled cheeks, he must have been a handsome man when he was young. His face is expressionless, like a pre-set image message~www.wuxiamtl .com~ opened the mouth and said: "Fortunate or unfortunate people, welcome to the ruins of the ancestors, the golden city, the hot city, the sand city of Sandhiti!"

"When you see this image, the ruins have been activated. The brass disc is not only the key to open the door, but also..." At this point, the image fluctuated and quickly returned to normal, as if it was deliberately deleted. Went for this message.

   "The guardians of the city, ghouls and skeletons, will wake up from their deep sleep, their desire for blood, so that they will not stop chasing you."

   There are footsteps in the distance, a large group of ghouls and skeletons are slowly approaching, Ivo is shed cold sweat, so many enemies, he can't bear it.

   The image continues: "There are three treasure houses in the ruins with a large number of treasures, but the treasure house is sealed by the secret technique, and the ‘key’ must be found to open the treasure house. Unfortunately, I don’t know what the ‘key’ is."

"Yes, I am not the guardian of the ruins, nor the owner of the ruins. I am just an unfortunate one who arrived before you. If you can receive this message, my body is in the ancient **** altar in the center of Sandhiti. Waiting for you, I know the only way to leave. Sandhiti is only open on Day of the Dead, the time flow here is three times slower than the main world, so you only have three days. Please come to me, I will open for you to leave In exchange, I need you to do me a favor."

   "Your loyal guide-Augusta."

  Zi——The projection dissipated, and the brass disk fell to the ground.

Nafi was still in shock, and Ivo suddenly yelled in anger, "I'm patronizing and listening to you, I almost forgot that the dead are approaching, you are a scam~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Welcome to read the latest and greatest.
