When Dodoro was summoned by Char to cast magic, his face was pale and his legs trembled in fright.
Not for anything else, just because he heard the conversation between Mr. Char and this Darwin when he was resting last night, and Dodoro also knew that the place under everyone's feet was a huge crater.
Although from the history that Dodoro knows, this volcano has never erupted. But... a crater is a crater after all!
Master Xia actually called himself here, stood on the crater, and let himself use earth magic to make a crack or a hole in the ground... That's amazing! In case I accidentally exert too much force and cause the volcano to erupt... My God, the crater is ten miles in diameter, so one can imagine how powerful it would be if such a big guy erupted? Standing in this crater by yourself, do you still have a life
Therefore, Xia Ya's order made the magician sweat and tremble, and he could not read a spell three times correctly.
In the end, under the impatient eyes of Xia Ya, the magician reluctantly recited the spell correctly, and cast a soil magic, and suddenly saw the magic light flowing in the air, the ground under everyone's feet rolled, and the soil turned towards both sides. Open, and then there is a ground seam more than one meter wide.
Duoduo wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and was about to laugh at Master Xia Ya, but when he looked up, he saw that Master Xia Ya was so angry that his face was blue, and when he was about to speak, Xia Ya kicked over and said angrily: "You Idiot! You made such a big gap, do you think Lao Tzu is a pangolin? How can we get into such a big hole? You drill it for me!"
Darwin next to him said with a smile: "Okay, don't scold him. If you want to make ground seams, you can't do it with him."
As he said that, Darwin actually pulled out a few magic crystals from a bag he was carrying, and said, "If you want to make a big move, it's best to set up a magic circle. Anyway, we have already identified the location initially, just in Open a magic circle here, and make a big one to sew it out."
Dotara was naturally afraid to die, but under the lewd power of Xia Ya, the magician could only do it with his nose pinched. Just because that volcanic eruption is terrifying, but it is an unknown thing after all, the anger of this Master Xia's eruption is right in front of him. Moreover, the magician carefully estimated that if this Master Xia's anger erupted, the level of terror would not necessarily be weaker than that of a volcanic eruption.
Benefiting from the gift of the Emperor Odin, Dodoro's brain full of magic knowledge is still very solid. It is not difficult to arrange a medium-sized earth magic circle. What's more, Darwin had already prepared and prepared a large package of materials for laying out the magic array. Although the number of magic crystals was not too many, it was enough to simply get an earth magic array.
Dodoro basked in the sun all morning, pouted his ass and drew magic maps everywhere on the ground, arranging magic crystals. At Char's request, the circle of this magic circle became bigger and bigger. Directly used up all Darwin's magic crystals in one go, and then let Dodoro go.
Dodoro's ability is not bad, and this magic circle is also quite decent.
On the ground, the pattern of a huge six-pointed star has been drawn. The pattern of the six-pointed star is dozens of meters wide. The six corners and the center are protected from magic crystals. The patterns of various earth-based magic spells are also skillfully drawn by Todoro.
After everything was in place, Char and Ada retreated into the distance. It was only at this time that Dodoro had a solemn expression on his face.
The figure of the magician slowly floated off the ground, and as the incantation slowly sang out of Duoduo's mouth, word by word, the voice seemed to float above the wilderness under the action of the wind, and it did not dissipate for a long time. Although Dodoro was afraid in his heart, once he started to control the magic circle, he was still full of energy. Just because he knows in his heart that he controls the magic circle, if the magician himself makes a mistake, it may trigger the backlash of magic. For the sake of his own safety, he temporarily suppressed the fear in his heart.
Dodoro didn't fly high, and he was only five or six meters away from the ground. As he chanted the spell, the air began to flow around him, and the dirty robe also fluttered in the wind. It looks quite powerful.
His hands were raised high, and his whole body soon glowed with a magic light. As he finished the last note of the incantation, on the ground, the pattern of the six-pointed star, the magic crystal in the six corners, quickly It was echoed and flashed, and the light of magic immediately poured into the six corners of the hexagram and gathered in the center of the magic circle.
The magic crystal arranged in the center began to change, as if ripples rippled out, and the soil on the ground began to flow faintly! It was as if the dry and hard ground had turned into quicksand in the desert at this moment. Ripple like water waves began to appear on the ground, going out in circles, spreading out, and moving in all directions.
Immediately, the ground began to roll. It was as if something was tumbling under the ground, about to burst out of the ground. Finally, I heard a "Boom"!
The ground shook suddenly, and Xiaya and Darwin stood in the distance and felt the shaking under their feet, like an earthquake. Xia Ya has all the skills. Although the ground shook violently, his feet stood firmly on the ground like nails. It was Darwin, but he simply sat on the ground.
Dodo Luo has also fallen to the ground, and he stood on the center of the central magic circle of the six-pointed star. As he took a deep breath, all the magic lights on the ground converged towards his feet. In the end, under the violent ground shaking, like a bolt of lightning, it was imprinted into the surface...
The ground was roaring loudly, and the movement lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually subsided.
After the gust of wind stopped, Xia Ya looked around again and couldn't help taking a deep breath.
This Dodo Luo is still a bit of a skill!
I saw that the pattern of the six-pointed star magic circle on the ground had disappeared, but on the surface, there was a huge crack! !
This crack in the ground has been extending, but it is just a huge crack exposed on the surface. It is six or seven meters wide and hundreds of meters long. Under the surface, it extends all the way, and I don't know how far it goes. deep location.
It looks like such a trace that the gods used a giant axe to cut out on the ground abruptly!
That Todoro was so sleazy on weekdays, but now it seems that his subordinates are really good at it. The effect of such a magic circle is truly amazing.
But Xia's idea came to her, and when she turned around and saw Dotara, her nose crooked with anger.
The magic master who made such a shocking effect was already on the ground, kneeling on the ground with both knees, holding his head in his hands, and his body was shivering, just holding his head blindly, chanting words, It sounds vaguely like words like "God", "Bless" and "Volcano".
Xia walked over in anger, kicked the magician over with one foot, and then ignored Dodo Luo, who was sitting on the ground dumbfounded, and turned to look at Darwin: "What should I do now?"
Darwin smiled, but he had already taken out what he had prepared. He took out two crystal stones from his bag, grabbed one with one hand and tapped it hard, and then the two stones suddenly glowed brightly.
Darwin threw one to Xi Ya and said with a smile, "Go down and have a look."
※※※
This crack is only a few hundred meters long exposed on the surface, but after walking in, it extends from high to low, going deeper and deeper! Char and Darwin walked side by side in this crack, just like walking in a long and narrow canyon. Looking up, the cracks on both sides were filled with rugged rocks.
At a higher place, you can still see the dry and hard soil, and the further you go down, the deeper you gradually go. The underground is naturally dark, but fortunately, there are Darwin's two illuminating magic stones, just like carrying two torches.
Xia Ya estimated in her heart that after walking down for a long time, I am afraid that it has already penetrated into the ground for dozens of meters. On both sides of the ground seam, the soil gradually disappeared, and what was replaced was a rock that felt hard and cold.
"This is volcanic rock." Darwin and Char also touched the rock on the crack, and said solemnly: "It is something formed after the volcanic magma solidified."
"You understand again?" Xia Ya sneered.
"Don't forget, after I became a humanoid, I had to live in your human world for many years. I don't know how many books and documents of your human beings have been read. When it comes to knowledge, I am afraid that among you humans, the most Famous scholars may not be able to beat me." Darwin was not polite at all, glanced at Xi Ya, and continued to walk down.
The gap became narrower and narrower. After all, it was created by the magic circle. The further down, the effect of magic gradually weakened, and the gap became narrower and narrower, and only one person could walk through it.
Having learned the lesson from the beginning, Xia Ya naturally refused to walk in the front, but took a step back and made a "please" gesture to Darwin. Darwin also knew that Xia Ya would not completely trust him, and he took the initiative to walk without rejecting him. in front.
Gradually, Xia discovered that on the walls on both sides of the crack, the volcanic rocks turned into some gorgeous translucent stones at some point. On, east and west.
"This is a kind of crystal formed after the volcanic lava erupted, the heat melted the original surface, and then cooled." Darwin walked all the way as if explaining to Char: "That is the resource that the village on the ground depends on for survival. But we haven't gone deep enough now, and the texture of the crystal here is obviously not good enough. If we continue to go down, the transparency and texture of the crystal will be better than here."
"I'm not here to dig crystals." Xiaya pouted.
Suddenly, Darwin in front stopped, raised his hand and made a gesture to Xi Ya, but he pointed to the wall next to him, and his tone was also a little excited: "Come and see!"
Xia squeezed in, barely standing side by side with Darwin, looked at the wall, and couldn't help taking a breath.
On the wall is a large translucent crystal about five or six meters wide, and on this translucent crystal, there seems to be a shadow!
Get in, use the lighting magic stone in your hand to shine on it, and you can see the outline inside clearly.
Inside, there is a thing that looks like a human being!
Moreover, the appearance also makes the scalp numb!
This is something that is half human and half skeleton!
That's right, it's half human and half skeleton! The "person" inside, half of the body is embedded in the crystal that is less transparent, but it is faintly visible, as if the body is still well preserved, as if the body still exists, although the flesh has been petrified, but the outline is intact. It can still be seen faintly.
The other half of the body is exposed to a relatively high transparency crystal, and the body has no flesh and blood, only a skeleton is left.
The whole body seems to be struggling, even the skull and jaw are Zhang's boss.
"This guy should have been swallowed up by the volcanic magma. Half of his body was incinerated to lose his flesh and blood, leaving only his bones. The other half of his body was exposed, and as the magma solidified into crystals, he was buried in Here." Darwin sighed.
Xia Ya heard it, but said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Ada, don't fool me! Do you think I don't understand? If this person was swallowed by magma, how could there be any bones preserved? The bones were melted by the magma. That's right!"
Darwin listened, smiled, and looked back at Xi Ya: "What you said is not bad. Then what do you think should be going on?"
Xia Ya squinted and watched for a while, then frowned, "You'll know if you cut it open and see!"
He did what he said, took out the fire fork, and struck it down, with the unparalleled sharpness of the fire fork, he immediately chiseled the crystal open.
With a slight turn of the fire fork, a hole in the boss was cut open.
But when Xia Ya cut the crystal, both Darwin and Xia Ya were stunned!
Inside, it was actually empty!
This crystal is not solid, but hollow!
In the cut crystal, the ancient corpse, the upper half of the skeleton body, was exposed to the air, and immediately turned into powder! On the contrary, the lower half of the body was buried in the crystal, and it was still intact.
Darwin looked at it, and suddenly said, "I understand."
"What do you understand? Come and listen?" Char looked at Darwin with interest.
Darwin sighed and said, "This guy must have been buried in the volcano when it erupted, but he didn't die from the magma, but was buried in the solidification of the magma. The magma cools and solidifies the petrification process, and the heat cools down. If the process is not uniform, many bubbles will appear, and after complete solidification, these bubbles will become small spaces hidden in these crystal layers... Well, that's about it."
Xia Ya doesn't know much about these things, but looking at the confident look of this guy, it doesn't seem like he is talking nonsense, but he believes it, thinking: This guy really has some knowledge.
But Xia Ya immediately frowned and said, "Yi? Look!"
Saying that, he gestured at the half body still embedded under the crystal, then gestured at himself again, and said with a smile, "This thing doesn't seem to be human."
Indeed, the body of this corpse is very short, only from the perspective of the half of the body still preserved in the crystal stone, the height of this "person", even if it is made longer, will probably just reach Xia Ya's abdomen.
A normal human would never be so short.
In this world, there are only two races that are so small in stature, and whose stature is similar to that of humans.
Goblins, and dwarves.
"Well, this skeleton is very thick. Goblins don't have such thick skeletons. They should be dwarves." Xia sighed.
Darwin also nodded after taking a look.
Immediately, Char knocked open the remaining half of the crystal and dug out the dwarf's bones directly from it.
Because the lower half of the corpse was embedded in the crystal, the preservation was quite complete, especially the armor of the legs was even left.
Although I don't know how many years have passed, because it is sealed in the crystal, the armor has a petrified appearance, but the outline is complete.
Darwin touched the pattern on it and sighed: "It is indeed the craft of the dwarves."
…
However, this half of the dwarf's corpse was all that was found. Going down a little bit, the seam came to an end.
After all, this is a crack in the surface created by magic, not a real man-made channel.
Xiaya estimated: "The depth of our walk, I'm afraid it's a few hundred meters, right?"
Darwin shook his head: "This way down is not vertical, but a ramp... So, it's probably more than 100 meters at most."
Xiaya smiled: "Only half of the dwarf's bones have been found, so it's a waste of time."
Darwin's eyes lit up: "Finding this thing proves at least that the document I got is true. This is indeed an ancient battlefield. As long as we dig more around here, we will definitely find what we need. something."
After speaking, he glanced at Xia Ya: "Okay, let's go up first."
After all, this seam has come to an end, and there is no way to go down, so Xiaya had to go back to the ground with Darwin.
But Darwin took out the armor under the dwarf's corpse, took off his robe and wrapped it in his arms.
When he came up, Darwin ran back to the quarry and brought back a bunch of tools, chisels, shovels and the like, and piled them together.
"Tomorrow we'll go down and start digging. If we're lucky, maybe we can get what we need."
Xia Ya listened and snorted: "If you're unlucky, I'm afraid you won't gain anything after digging for ten days and a half months."
Darwin glanced at Xia Ya: "You are so impatient, things are so simple. You know, from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people are looking for the ruins of ancient battlefields, and I don't know how many human magicians have fought like this. The idea is to search for the ruins of the ancient battlefield and excavate things, but it is not an easy task. Some necromancers, in order to find the remains of the keel, find an ancient battlefield, even if they stay there for a year or two. "
"A year or two? I don't have that much time to waste here." Xia Ya sneered: "I'll spend a few more days with you at most. If there's no more gains, I'll leave with both hands."
Darwin frowned, then stretched his brows again, and said with a faint smile: "You are a great master, and your strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, and you are a guy with supernatural power. It will be much easier to dig out."
The two of them stopped talking about this and didn't go back to the stone yard. They built a fire next to the crack, got some food to eat, and stayed here for the night.
At night, Char would see Darwin sitting by the fire, but he put the dwarf's armor on his knees, rubbed his palms lightly on it, frowned tightly together, his eyes flashed, but he didn't. I know what this guy is thinking.
Xia only felt that there was an occasional flash of light in Darwin's eyes, as if there was something wrong... As if, it was...
disturbed? !
Yes, it is uneasy!
This Darwin, he seems to have noticed something, what is it that makes him feel afraid? !
But Xia Ya knew that even if he asked, most of the guy wouldn't tell him the truth. If he would, he would have said it long ago.
Immediately, Xia Ya turned around and slept with her head covered.
It was only in the middle of the night that the wind suddenly picked up. The wind whistled, faintly like the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, Xia Ya didn't care at first, just thought it was the wind, but gradually he felt that something was wrong.
The things mixed in the wind seemed to be spinning around all the time, and…
Suddenly, Xia Ya suddenly sat up!
This sound! Not from the wind!
From…
Ground seam! underground! !
He turned his head suddenly, but saw Darwin also sitting up, his eyes full of light.
Xiaya had already held the fire fork in his hand, and looked at Darwin coldly: "Did you hear that?"
"Um."
Darwin nodded, his expression solemn.
The two stood up together, walked towards the seam on the ground, and stopped in the distance.
That voice really came from the ground! As if the wind was whistling.
But... faintly... yet a little unusual.
"Where is the wind in the low ground?" Xia's face froze, staring at Darwin: "Do you know something?!"
Darwin shook his head at first, but hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, looked at Xiaya, and smiled bitterly: "It seems... we got into trouble."
"What the hell is going on!" Xia went up and grabbed Darwin's neck and said angrily, "Every time I meet you, it's not a good thing! What's going on this time? It's never going to be so sewn and hidden. Damandras Orochi!"
Darwin shook his head, but suddenly took out the piece of armor from his arms: "The secret is on this armor!"
That piece of armor, under the light of the bonfire in the distance, seems to have a faint radiance, which makes people feel hairy...
