Although they had made up their mind to sneak into the palace at the bottom of the lake for adventure, Ryan and the others still waited on the shore for an extra day, mainly to dispose of the body of the Hydra. After completing this matter, Ryan handed over the command of the troops. He handed it over to Adela, took Faras and a few others with him and slowly dived into the deep blue lake.
Ryan and the other six people quickly arrived at the entrance of the huge palace. When Ryan stepped on the soft bottom of the lake under his feet, he felt the coolness of the blue lake water around him and watched countless fish leisurely around him. Swimming around, I felt an indescribable excitement in my heart. After all, not everyone can experience this kind of experience of walking in the depths of the lake.
Since we were at the bottom of the lake, we couldn't talk in words, so Seres gently patted Ryan on the shoulder. After attracting his attention to himself, he began to use simple gestures to express his intention. He signaled to let go. Ryan used magic to test the palace door first to see if there were any magic traps or anything like that.
Ryan nodded knowingly. It was best to leave such testing work to the summoned creatures, so he patted Faras gently and conveyed this meaning to the other party. Faras nodded, she He immediately waved his magic wand and quickly summoned a slender crocodile.
When the crocodile, whose entire body was covered with rough, hard skin, completely passed through the passage forcibly opened by Faras with magical power, its first move was to open its bloody mouth toward Ryan, who was standing closest to Faras. , wanting to have a hearty meal, but Faras quickly used her powerful magic to dispel the crocodile's instinctive move and began to drive it to swim deeper into the ancient palace.
This crocodile was fully 3 meters long. It twisted its bulky body and slowly passed through the cracked gap in the palace gate. After getting in, it fell heavily with a "plop" because there was no lake water in the space there. On the ground, this change made it dazed for a long time, because with its IQ, it couldn't understand why there were two completely different worlds separated by just a door.
Faras once again used his powerful magic power to control the crocodile to crawl deeper, until the crocodile crawled hundreds of meters and Faras's magic power could no longer control it. After the performance, Ryan nodded to Ceres and Allen, and everyone slowly entered the palace along the huge gap.
The inside and outside of the palace are indeed two different worlds. This was particularly profound when Ryan and the other six people passed through the gate. It was a feeling that is difficult to describe in detail in words, as if a person had traveled to another dimension. It seems that if you don't experience this kind of trip yourself, no matter how others describe it, it will be difficult for you to understand what is going on.
"Magic enchantment, a very powerful magic enchantment." Faras soon felt a huge enchantment covering the entire palace. This was probably a protective magic defense shield. It just prevented messy things from outside from entering. In this palace, there are lakes and various creatures in the lake. However, when Ryan and the others forcibly crossed the barrier, because of their own strength, the magic barrier had almost no effect on them.
"It's strange. From the outside, this palace looks very large. What a huge project it must have been back then." Sophie said thoughtfully: "Such a huge project can't just be to protect this building. "
"Well, if I guessed correctly, this should be the holy land of the Keidrama Empire, one of the seven kingdoms, and the Temple of Apocalypse guarded by the Templars." Ryan suddenly remembered what Adams had said to him before. Regarding the Silent Jungle, the predecessor of the Cursed Swamp, it was the undead army led by the demigod Lich Kangs himself that turned this place into ruins 200 years ago.
"Hey, then we will definitely gain a lot this time." Sophie said with surprise. Sophie didn't care about the dangers she might encounter next. After all, her teammates were quite powerful. In fact If it weren't for Ryan and the others who were not good at traps, Sophie would not be qualified to fight alongside them with her strength. This is why Sophie had previously asked Ryan to take her with him. She wanted to prove her strength to Ryan. Specialties are quite useful to Ryan.
"Maybe, but it is said that the demigod lich Kangs personally led a large number of lichs to directly preside over a dark ritual, which turned this place into what it is now. Look at the curses outside, the two-legged dragons, the poisonous spiders... All of them are evil things. I think the next journey will not be so smooth, so everyone should be careful." Ryan solemnly reminded everyone,
The six people walked slowly along the water traces that the crocodile walked before. Sophie naturally walked at the front because she wanted to detect various traps, while Alando and Shaina stayed at the end of the team. In this way, Ryan and Faras naturally walked in the middle of the team, and the elf wind shooter Ya also naturally followed Sophie to warn and protect her from sudden attacks by the enemy.
After walking more than a hundred meters, the traces of water on the ground disappeared, and the passage in front was covered with dust. There were no traces of living things walking there. Farasi felt the remaining magic power here and whispered softly. Said: "The summoning effect disappeared, so the crocodile returned to its previous plane."
"That's not right." Ryan said doubtfully: "With Faras's strength, you can only summon a level 4 creature. How could it last for such a short time?"
"Yes, there is indeed something wrong with this." Farasi also thought of this problem, and she said softly: "Then let me try again. The magic fluctuations here are quite weak. If I hadn't inherited the power of the staff, Maybe I can’t even cast magic.”
After Faras finished speaking, he recited a spell silently and released another summoning spell, but this time Faras summoned a spotted black panther. This spotted black panther was completely black with only a few gray spots dotted in it. After all the bodies appeared here, they immediately lay on the ground and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
Faras was afraid that the spotted black panther would turn around and attack his companions like before. After the summoning magic ended, he immediately used his powerful magic to control it, and then began to issue an order to search and move forward. Due to the existence of the temporary summoning contract, , this spotted panther will obey Farasi’s orders unconditionally, so even though it is a little reluctant, it still chooses to sneak quickly,
The spotted black panther's fleshy palm was gently placed on the passage made of huge stones without making any sound. It moved forward for about dozens of meters, while Ryan and the others followed the black panther from a distance. Behind, this gave Sophie an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if she had not played any role in this adventure at all, and if it was the killer organization before her, none of the dispensable members could escape. I can't bear the fate of being abandoned,
"Ah." At this moment, Faras suddenly called out, and the spotted black panther that was sneaking quickly in front also suddenly called out. A faint vortex appeared next to it, and the spotted black panther was swept away. Forcibly dragging his body back, Farasi waited until the spotted black panther automatically returned to its previous plane due to the end of the summoning spell. She couldn't help but speak: "It's really weird. The magic effect here is very short. It seems to have a very similar effect to the demon-forbidden magic circle that Teacher Victor deployed before."
Sophie was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Seres, who had been vigilant beside her, suddenly grabbed her and quickly retreated back. Then a ball of fire whizzed out of Ryan's hand and flew directly into the depths of the entire passage. ,
"Boom." The fireball hit the oncoming lightning in the huge passage space, making a deafening explosion, followed by several more lightning bolts flying out from the depths of the passage with a shrill sound, and Ryan waved his hands repeatedly. , blocked all these lightnings with small fireballs,
After doing this, Seres had already pulled Sophie back to Ryan. He put Sophie down and took his longbow from his body with his right hand. With a slight movement of his left wrist, a feather arrow It was already on the bowstring, but he didn't start shooting because Ryan spoke,
Ryan noticed from the previous battle that there might be a magician in the passage, so he directly said loudly: "We are adventurers here to take risks. We have no ill intentions. May I ask who you are..."
"Intruders, there are intruders." A gloomy and cold voice spread along the entire passage to Ryan's ears: "Protect the Holy Land, protect the Holy Land."
"Woo!" A biting cold wind blew by, and several vague figures appeared in front of Ryan and the others. Since Ryan and the others did not light the torch, they just used magic to release the lighting technique, so they could not see clearly quickly. The appearance of the other party, but you can vaguely see that the people on the opposite side seem to be wearing thick armor, and they all hold a long sword in one hand and some kind of weird scepter in the other. When these people After the vague figure approached Ryan and the others, he immediately waved the scepter in his hand and began to release various magics towards Ryan.
Lightning, fireballs, ice picks...these people who suddenly appeared on the opposite side seemed to subvert ordinary people's understanding of magicians. Not only did they wear heavy armor, they could also cast various low-level magics. They all looked like magic weapons. Dual cultivation is average, but this level of magic poses no threat to Ryan and Farasi. Just as Farasi was about to put up a void defense to protect everyone, Ryan took action directly.
Ryan was waving his arms quickly. Every time the people on the opposite side released a magic, the magic of the same level released by Ryan would come first and collide with it in mid-air. Because the two magics that collided were of the same series. , they only undergo some slight changes, and they will disappear together because each other's mana is exhausted.
