"Dragon's eyes?"
Xia Ya shouted directly, glared at Darwin and scolded with a smile: "You Ada is here to coax me again! Haven't I seen a dragon? Although the dragons are huge, they are not so big! An eyeball is enough Taller than Laozi?"
It's not unreasonable for Xia Ya's words, he has seen quite a few dragons. Don't count Dora's deity - Dora is a real living dragon.
And in Damandras' lair, which is the relic of the ancient goblin, in the huge and weird warehouse in the underground creation area, there are also some "specimens" used by the ancient goblins for experiments, including There is a dragon's body. And it's still a very advanced dragon.
Although the dragon's body is huge, the average dragon's body is only about 20 meters high, which is considered extremely huge.
If it is said that this eye is the eye of the dragon clan... Then according to the size of this eye, isn't its deity more than ten times larger than those of the dragon clan that Xia Ya has seen? !
Darwin sighed. Facing Xia Ya's questioning, his expression was calm, and he said slowly, "Of course you don't understand. There are also differences between tribes and races among dragons. I'm talking about the ancient dragon family. That is the most high-end existence among the dragon clan, the purest, oldest and top dragon clan... Even the blood of the golden dragon is far inferior to the ancient giant dragon. Among the dragon clan, the ancient ancient giant dragon The body is extraordinarily huge, far different from other dragon races, what is strange about this."
Having said that, Darwin paused and said with a smile: "Even from your human perspective, there are dwarves in this world, whose bodies are similar to yours, but there are also giants, whose bodies are more than ten times larger than humans, and their bodies are also Still humanoid?"
Having said that, Xiaya felt that it was quite reasonable, but looked at Darwin and frowned: "Such a huge ancient dragon... Now..."
"It is now extinct." Darwin hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly: "The ancient dragon clan is the king of the dragon clan, the pride of the dragon clan. According to legend, the dragon god who guards our dragon clan is from the ancient giant. The existence of the dragon clan. However, although the giant dragon clan is extremely powerful, its reproductive capacity is lower than that of the ordinary dragon clan, and... because of some unreasonable reasons, it has already disappeared from this world. I am afraid... it is already extinct. After the ancient giant dragon clan was completely wiped out, the golden dragon clan took over as the king of the dragon clan."
Having said that, Darwin walked over, stretched out his hand, and stroked the crystal wall lightly, looking at the giant pupil hidden in the crystal, with a complicated look on his face, as if looking at this huge I don't know if I remember the glory and grace of these powerful ancestors in my heart.
"Unfortunately, there is only one eye hidden here, but there is no body. It seems that the bones of the dragon you need will have to be found elsewhere."
Char looked at Darwin and comforted him.
Immediately, Xiaya lost interest and continued to go deeper.
Going deeper, the path inside has changed.
It turned out that this huge crystal layer hidden in the ground was like a giant glacier hidden underground. The "road" that the three of them were in was actually a crack extruded by the crystal layer's changes in the ground.
But this natural crack is naturally irregular. Going deeper, there are irregular forks in the crack. The further in, the crack extends into several branches, up and down, front and back, left and right. All have holes of different sizes. The three looked at the seven or eight cracks in front of them, but they all stopped.
"Where are you going?"
Xiaya looked at Darwin, and Darwin smiled bitterly: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Seeing the seven or eight cracks in front of it, the big ones are more than ten meters wide, and the narrow ones are three to five meters wide, just like a fork in the road, as if forming a huge labyrinth.
The most important thing is that this "labyrinth" is not man-made, but a natural one, and there are no rules to be found. If you walk around randomly, you might get lost in it and never come back.
"The three of us can't be separated. I don't know how big the place is. If we walk separately, it will be troublesome if we get separated." Xia Ya said the first sentence, and got the strong support of Dodo Luo - the magician Don't dare to separate from Xia Ya in such a ghostly place where the sun does not see the light of day.
"Since you don't know how to go anyway, just choose one and go on, depending on the situation, but make sure to mark along the way, so that if the road is blocked, you can find your way back when you turn around, and you won't get lost."
As Xia Ya said that, she tore off a large piece of fabric from the top and robe on her body, tore more than a dozen pieces of fabric into strips, and poked a finger on the crystal wall next to her. His strength was outstanding, and when he poked it lightly with a finger, a hole was poked out of the hard crystal wall like tofu. Xiaya casually hung a strip of cloth on the hole and said with a smile, "Let's go down, Every time you walk for a while, you can leave a mark like this."
This method is really good, the three of them walked along the way, and every time they walked, they made a mark like this, and they didn't get lost.
It's just that luck doesn't seem to be very good. I have walked three fork roads in a row, and each time I come to the end, there is no gain. These three fork roads all come to an end, and the cracks disappear. There is no way to go, only a long way back .
After trying this three times in a row, I had to go back to the original path each time, which made me feel a little sullen.
A lot of time has passed. Calculate the time. If you are outside, I am afraid it is already afternoon. There is no daylight in the ground. Although the crystal layer is naturally flooded, there is no need to worry about lighting problems, and there is no difference between day and night. After searching for so long, the three of them are all hungry.
"Stop and eat, take a rest, you always have to eat and sleep." Xia Ya sighed, although she frowned, she was still very calm and didn't seem too anxious.
Ada's attitude is absolutely necessary. After all, Todoro has a weaker physique and is already exhausted. Naturally, he is greatly applauded.
The three simply walked back to the place with the huge dragon pupil in the crystal layer to rest.
There was no way to make a fire in the ground, so Xiaya only took the dry food that he brought, and the three of them shared some of the food, and then sat down and rested at will.
Darwin also seemed a little tired. He leaned against the crystal wall, closed his eyes, and after a few moments, breathing evenly, he fell asleep. Dodoro was wrapped in a robe and shrunk into a ball already asleep.
It's just that Xia Ya is full of energy from the beginning, but sitting there is not tired. Moreover, in the crystal layer next to him, such a huge dragon's eye seems to be staring at him, and Xia Ya always feels a little uncomfortable. Feeling at ease, as if being "watched" by something.
At this moment, Dora's voice suddenly came from my mind.
"Boy, this place is weird, don't you notice it?"
"Huh?" Xia Ya raised her eyebrows.
"This is a place deep underground. It stands to reason that in such a place where the sun does not see the sky, where does the air come from? But you all came down to this underground cave, but your breathing is smooth, don't you think it is strange? Where does the air come from here for you to breathe? There must be ventilation channels, maybe there are gaps or channels that you don’t know about that can lead to the ground.”
Xia Ya remained calm and did not speak, but she communicated with Dora with consciousness in her heart: "If you want to talk about the passage to the ground, I am afraid it may not be. It is so deep from the ground that even if there is a passage, it is difficult for the air to circulate. .I'm afraid there is another mystery."
Dora seemed to sigh: "Also, as Darwin said, what kind of ancient battlefield is here, I don't think it's easy."
After a pause, Dora's tone was very solemn, and she said slowly: "If the two sides of the war are several races united to deal with the ancient goblins... Then, according to the goblin diary we have seen, it must have happened when the ancient goblins died. It's that era. The major races rebelled, joined forces to exterminate the goblins, and experienced a great war. But... don't you think it's strange? Since it's a battlefield, how could it be possible to create some forbidden spell-level undead magic?"
After Xia thought for a while, she understood what Dora meant.
Magic circles, although powerful, have always been unsuitable for use on the battlefield.
Not for anything else, just because the arrangement of the magic circle is "fixed", and a lot of preparations need to be made in advance, such as the arrangement of the formation, the center, and so on.
If you use an analogy, it is like hunting in the mountains. A trap is placed in a fixed place. Even if the power of the trap is powerful, it is fixed in one place and cannot be moved. It can only passively wait for the prey to hit itself. Step up and step in to make it work. But if the prey doesn't enter the trap, the trap is useless.
In the battle on the battlefield, where will you be given the opportunity to calmly arrange a cover to wait for the opponent to take the initiative to send it to your door? War has always been a dynamic form. Even if it is a battle between the main forces of the two sides, the time and place of the battle are constantly changing with the situation of the war.
No army will be nailed to one place in war. There is no mobility and initiative at all.
Throughout the history of the continent, although some large-scale wars in history have also played a role in magic circles, this situation has always only appeared under two specific conditions.
The first premise is defensive warfare.
The defensive side relies on the strong city wall fortress, and at the same time builds a giant magic circle to strengthen the protection force. The fixity of the magic circle has become an advantage here. Anyway, I am on the defensive side. I just need to stay on the defensive. Stay in one place and use the power of the magic circle to defend. If the enemy doesn’t come to fight, that’s all. , naturally there is room for the magic circle to play a role.
A typical example is the Magic Academy of the Magic Union, the headquarters of the church in Osgilia today. A powerful magic circle was set up. If no one came to invade, it would be fine. If someone invaded, it would trigger the defense and counterattack of the magic circle.
But... Obviously, this situation is not suitable for a two-sided field battle. Field battles are all about mobile warfare. The so-called "wars are impermanent". The situation can even be said to be changing every moment. Where can one party make a magic circle and then freeze in one place
Another prerequisite for using a magic circle is...
Siege a place.
This situation is very similar to the first one, except that the party who uses the magic circle becomes the attacker instead of the defender. The premise is that the defending side will stick to a stronghold and not retreat, and since it is sticking to the defense, then the defending side will naturally be fixed in one place and will not move, and the attacking side can calmly arrange a magic circle to attack. Anyway, if the opponent does not run, and sticks to one place, then the fixed form of the magic circle will not become a weakness.
But whether it's a defensive battle or a tough battle, it doesn't seem to be suitable for this kind of place.
After all, this is a volcanic crater!
Where would any army run to such a place with a dizzy mind to defend it
Thinking about it this way, this place is really weird!
Xia Ya took a deep breath, and was about to say something to Dora when he suddenly felt cold all over his body, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured down his head, which made him shudder!
This is the kind of keen sense in Xiaya's talent, and every time there is a special situation where danger comes, it will naturally cause a sign. This feeling comes true almost every time! At this moment, the whole body is suddenly chilled, as if somewhere, I feel that a huge crisis is coming!
Xia Ya jumped up immediately, and a sharp edge broke out in his eyes, holding a fire fork in his hand, looking around across his chest.
There is silence all around, where is the slightest movement
Xia Ya listened carefully, but couldn't hear anything unusual. In surprise, she turned her head back inadvertently...
At this moment, Xia Ya's whole body was cold, and even his face suddenly turned pale!
Just because he finally saw what went wrong!
In that crystal layer, that huge eye! !
The giant eyes are on the side, hidden in the crystal layer, and the giant pupils seem to move! And the eyelids seem to float up and down a few times! And in that weird vertical pupil, there seems to be an indescribable terrifying taste! It was originally a dead thing, but in the empty eyes, there seemed to be a little vitality! !
This…
This…
This giant eye!
It's actually in...
blinking! ! !
Blink! ! !
"It... it's looking at us!!"
Xia Ya's heart was suddenly shocked. Under the shock and the huge change in his face, he suddenly shouted, flew over, and rushed to the crystal wall. Facing the huge dragon eye in the crystal wall, he raised his fire fork, ruthlessly. Stabbed hard!
With a bang, the crimson murderous red light burst out. Wherever the fire fork went, the crystal layer shattered, and the crimson murderous red light penetrated directly into it, mercilessly piercing the huge eye hidden in the crystal layer. .
The power of the crimson murderous aura was so powerful that with one blow, the huge eyes were instantly shattered by the red light!
Just as the eyes were shattered, Xiaya suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar from an unknown direction in the depths of the crack in the far distance of the crystal layer!
The roar was filled with anger and pain!
