Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 197: Fallen Tree

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

  

   Milan has snapped his fingers first.

  

Snapped--

  

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

  

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

  

   Even if he is a "prophet" who has given up most of his offensive spellcasting abilities, Milan is still an official wizard no matter what, some common small spells are still nothing to him.

  

   The light of "Illumination" was on, and at first sight, Aiwen 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 consisting of ten circles and 22 paths.

  

   Aiwen is attracted by it not because of how novel and rare it is. On the contrary, in various occult books, the frequency of its appearance is 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 has 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" in the previous life to Taoism.

  

   There are countless branches and factions spread out from it, and you can never guess by guessing. If it matters, you will know if you have a look with your own eyes.

  

   nodded at Milan and Gary. As the force in charge of the three, Ivan took the lead, and the two of them guarded the flank respectively, and advanced carefully in a cautious defensive formation.

  

  Because the entrance itself is on the top of the tower, the three people marched deep underground along a spiral **** that continued to extend underground. After completely passing through the artificial buildings on the ground, there are only rock stairs and rock walls without any gaps, just like the whole island under your feet is a huge rock.

  

   But it is worth mentioning that even though it has gradually gone deep underground, there is no such dull and corrupt feeling in the 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 rushed 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 expressions 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..

  

   The army boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground, reverberating in the underground space.

  

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

  

   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 discarded. 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 there is no evidence that the pirates have been attacked.

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

   "Be careful! Only a few years later, the things that killed them may still live here."

  

   The three men are all 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, and whispered to Aven. He knew that Aiwen's ability was better than himself in distinguishing these details.

  

   "Some of the bones were broken, but the clothes were still intact, and they looked like they had been strangled forcibly by a creature such as a python.

  

  Some obviously suffered some kind of bludgeoning, a stone or 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 humanoid intelligent creatures who can use weapons? "

  

   Aiwen opened the "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!"

  

   For the sake of caution, 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 in the ground that made them fear with extreme disgust.

  

   There is no way, my 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 enemies, 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 mysterious knowledge than Skok.

  

   At least in the exploration of relics, knowledge is sometimes 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 placed on it.

  

   Obviously, if "White Shark Skok" was the first visitor, there is a high probability that the above items have 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 for a moment, then turned to walk into the open door.

  

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

  

   looks like some kind of laboratory for biochemical experiments. Even in the past hundreds of years, these 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 place than the sound of a few people's footsteps in a place where the depth is unknown. 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.

  

Breathe--

  

With the slightly heavy breathing, the three people came to another round hall very smoothly~www.ltnovel.com~ The shape and furnishings here have not changed much compared with the previous hall, and there are fewer pirate corpses on the ground than before. A lot, 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 the pirate corpse, 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 the reminder of Ivan, Milan and Gary looked up at the same time and saw a large and complicated circular symbol carved on the ceiling.
