All the way down the dark and narrow tunnel, gusts of cold wind blew across my face.
Yang Yu was at the front of the team. As the forward, Bai Jin followed closely behind, using magic to light the way forward. Ias was at the end of the team, responsible for the rear.
This tunnel has a certain slope, allowing them to penetrate gently into the ground.
Although the weak light emitted by the white hibiscus cannot illuminate the deep darkness, it is enough for Yang Yu to see clearly what is ahead and prepare in advance.
The team moved slowly, taking every step carefully, and it took them some time to reach the end of the tunnel.
Jumping down from the cave entrance, Yang Yu stood steadily in the underground passage paved with blue stone slabs.
Following closely behind, Ias and Bai Jin also landed steadily in the spacious passage. With the help of the magic light, they looked at the entire passage curiously.
The entire passage is as wide as five carriages, with the same height and width. It is mainly made of stacked blue and white stones, giving it a natural beauty.
On the walls on both sides of the passage, colorful colors intertwine with each other to form exquisite murals.
Touching the slightly glowing ground, Ias felt that this kind of place seemed familiar.
"Could it be that this place is also a kind of underground maze?"
Scanning the strange murals, Bai Jin rejected Ias's idea.
"It's more like some kind of ancient ruins than a dungeon. If it's an underground labyrinth, there should be a special kind of magic fluctuation, but until now, I haven't sensed it."
Yang Yu opened the system panel, and no new tasks popped up on the task interface.
In the past, when entering the underground maze, the task of conquering the underground maze would pop up on the task interface, but this time there was nothing.
Either this dungeon has been conquered by others, or as Bai Jin said, this is an ancient ruins.
In the game, ruins are places where danger and opportunity coexist, and there may be countless treasures and experience points. Correspondingly, there are also a variety of powerful monsters and powerful mechanisms.
However, the ruins in the game may also be as dilapidated as the real ruins, with all the treasures taken away and all the traps triggered, leaving only a series of traces from ancient times and becoming a simple intelligence point.
Walking to the center of the passage, while looking at the murals on the left and right sides, Yang Yu tried to go deep into the ruins.
The images painted on the mural are a little abstract, but it does not affect reading at all. Even if you start reading from the middle, you can still understand what the mural is about.
The murals on this floor show the story of a slash-and-burn civilization that gradually grew into a feudal kingdom with emperors and systems.
But at the end of the story, there was a dramatic turn, as countless people gathered and overturned the king's throne.
Following the stairs at the end of the first floor, Yang Yu and the others entered the second floor.
In this layer, thick black air filled the passage.
These black energies are harmless to humans and animals, and are simply diffused in the passage.
Even if Yang Yu and the others passed through the black energy, they would not feel any discomfort.
Continuing to browse the murals on both sides of the passage, Yang Yu was surprised to find that after people overthrew the king, there was a brief period of peace. Then smoke spread, and the lost kingdom turned into several trivial civilizations. These civilizations collided with each other and burst out with the light of wisdom. , developed a variety of technologies, and war tools similar to tanks and aircraft can even be seen on the murals.
At the end of this floor, a great war broke out between several civilizations. However, the murals on this floor did not give the outcome of this war.
If you want to know the subsequent development, you can only go to the third floor.
On the third floor of the ruins, black liquid like bubbles occupied the passages.
These lumps of black liquid are exactly the same as the corruptors that Yang Yu and the others saw before they transformed into black creatures.
The difference is that these black liquids really seem to have a mind of their own, squirming slowly and without any core.
Open the panel, and there are three big question marks on each squirming black liquid. I don't know the name, but these black liquids have their own attributes and health bars.
Yang Yu carefully knocked down one. The slimes immediately turned into black energy and dissipated in the passage. After a while, they did not return to their physical form, as if they were really dead.
Instructing Ias and Bai Jin behind him to pay attention to safety, Yang Yu waved his sword to clear the way, killing the black liquid like black slime one after another.
Yang Yu also took a look at the murals on the third floor.
The mural on the third floor does not explain the outcome of that war.
What it shows is that all civilizations worked together to become one civilization, and technology took off completely. From the beginning of the third level to the end of the third level, nearly two-thirds of the space is devoted to the greatness of their technology, and even they flew out He has a planet and a space fleet.
However, at the end of the third floor, the style of the mural changed again.
A huge giant holds all the shining stars in his hands. The spaceship that civilization is so proud of is like an ant in front of that giant.
This civilization met God.
Concerned about the subsequent development, Yang Yu immediately escaped to the fourth floor.
But on the fourth floor, the content on the mural stops abruptly.
It’s not that the mural doesn’t tell something behind.
However, the mural seems to have been corroded by something, and only the tip of the iceberg of subsequent development can be glimpsed from the scattered fragments.
In addition, not to mention that there is no black liquid like slime in this layer, even the black gas is missing.
The same situation occurred on the fifth floor.
The murals on the fifth floor were also corroded by something unknown, and were covered with black patches. It was impossible to know what the murals said, and there was no black energy in them.
In desperation, Yang Yu and the others could only go to the last floor.
The sixth floor of this ruins is a huge circular altar, with ancient characters that Yang Yu and the others don't recognize engraved on it, forming a pattern similar to a magic circle.
In the center of the ancient altar, there is a Holy Grail filled with amethyst.
This chalice is made of stone and appears to be designed purely to hold amethyst.
"This is the center we are looking for."
Yang Yu pointed to the magic circle in the center of the altar and was very sure.
"Isn't it a little too smooth?" Ias felt a little strange, "I think it only took us an hour or two to reach this ruins, and we actually reached the last level without any trouble."
"A smooth sailing isn't such a bad thing. But it looks like it's just the calm before the storm."
"What's the meaning?"
Yang Yu didn't say anything clearly, he just threw the scroll to Bai Jin and asked her to open the scroll and place it on the Holy Grail in the middle.
Soon after, a dazzling light swept through the entire underground ruins, breaking through the remaining darkness in the ruins.
