Angel ran towards the road he had originally come from. He had traveled this road before, and he knew that it was not too dangerous, so he went fast. After a while, he came to the trench with a width of about 500 meters when he first landed.
In the soul state, he couldn't accurately feel the turbulence of the ocean current. He could only judge whether the big octopus continued to chase through Qi Li's senses.
"The water flow is fine, but..." Qi Li glanced at Luna who was in her arms, her body was still trembling faintly: "Luna's state is not right, I guess it is still chasing."
When Angel heard this, he simply continued to run forward. According to the width of the double wall of this trench, if it continues to shrink, it won't be long after running, and the physique of the big octopus should not be able to get in.
Illuminated by Qi Li's firelight, Angel rushed forward again.
This rush is half an hour. The width of the two walls, as he thought, kept shrinking, even less than 100 meters at the back, and the slope began to rise, it should be approaching the end of the trench.
"It should be safe here, it's hard to squeeze in because of its size, and Luna can't smell that guy's breath."
When Qi Li said that, Angel released them and returned to the flesh.
Qi Li silently witnessed Angel's series of actions. Although she was very curious about how Angel's speed was so fast and why he had to go out of his body, she didn't ask, because it involved someone else's secret technique. , just hide the doubts in the heart.
After Angel returned to the body, he felt dizzy for a while.
Before he said a word, his eyes darkened and he fell into a coma.
…
"The Prophet does not ask about the past, the altar is forever cast high. Holding the sword of Meirui can open up the past and reach the end of the land."
Angel was half asleep when he heard someone whispering in his ear. He opened his eyes vaguely, only to feel that the light was dim, and a red dancing shoe was moving back and forth in the hazy vision.
The air was very fresh, with a faint aroma... This smell, which he had smelled in Sanders' study, seemed to be some kind of relaxing fragrance.
Angel couldn't help taking a deep breath, and suddenly, he stopped abruptly.
Air? aroma? Isn't he under the sea? Memories from before the coma flashed back to the brain.
Angel opened his eyes suddenly, and then sat up.
He looked left and right, and found that he was actually in a stone house with a bed made of coral under him... There was no water vapor around, and the air was full of oxygen.
On the wall, there is a portable oil lamp that Qi Li likes to carry in her hand. That relaxing smell came from the oil lamp.
"Are you awake?" Qi Li seemed to hear Angel's movement, and walked over from another connected doorman, "How do you feel?"
Angel looked back. Under the dim light of the fire, Qi Li's face was rarely so cold, with a hint of warmth.
"Not bad." Angel rubbed his temples, feeling the blood in his body that had gradually calmed down, and nodded to Qi Li, "Thanks."
"No need to thank you, you also saved me." Qi Li walked to the wall, took off the oil lamp, and held it in her hand: "I checked a little when you were in a coma, you drink witch soup too often, and you're sick again. It has not been integrated into the blood, resulting in too much qi and blood, which led to your coma."
At the end, Qi Li stood in front of Angel and said in a slightly complicated tone: "Your body is too weak, even if you don't want to inject blood, you can exercise in other ways, and you won't drink some Witch soup can't be filled."
Angel also roughly guessed the reason for his coma, and scratched his head awkwardly: "The training time is too tight, and I can't take care of it."
Qi Li is also very clear that Angel has only entered the wizarding world for a short time, and his alchemy skills are so strong that he obviously spent a lot of time learning. In such a situation, it can also take into account its own combat power. To be able to do this step is already very good.
She now understands that what Angel lacks is neither combat power nor advanced knowledge, but some basic things, such as basic common sense, and basic physical training.
"After leaving the purification garden, find a way to increase the strength of your body." After Qi Li finally said these words, she turned around and walked out the door.
In fact, Angel has the opportunity to contact the bloodline, and it is not difficult to buy the bloodline with his financial resources. It's just that Sanders asked him not to inject blood for the time being. His blood should preferably be dominated by creatures from the Nightmare Realm, which extinguished Angel's mind.
Of course, as Qi Li said, there are other ways to increase physical strength without injecting blood. But his character is more academic, unlike Nausicaa, who likes to speak with his muscles, so this year he has basically been immersed in researching tricks and improving alchemy skills, and his body has not been honed.
It seems that after leaving this time, I really need to improve my physical strength.
Tangtang is a second-level apprentice, and he is also the backbone of the apprenticeship. As a result, because of drinking the primary witch soup, the deficiency was not replenished, and finally he passed out. If this kind of thing is said, it is estimated that everyone's big teeth will be laughed off.
Angel shook his head and stood up.
He followed Qi Li's footsteps to another room. Qi Li stood in front of a wall, thinking quietly.
Angel walked over and found that on the wall Qi Li was facing was a totem of a mermaid with a row of text at the bottom. He raised his eyebrows: "Is this the fortress of frog skin monsters?"
Qi Li said lightly: "After you fell unconscious, I took you forward for a while, and found this place at the end of the trench..."
Qi Li seemed to be thinking about her words, and after a while, she said, "Watchtower? Let's call it a watchtower."
A watchtower under the sea
The function of the watchtower is generally to be vigilant. What is the watchtower built here to guard against? The sea beast he destroyed, or the big octopus that looks similar to King Motouch
Angel shook off his mixed thoughts and asked a more realistic question: "How long have I been in a coma?"
"Less than ten hours."
Ten hours doesn't sound like a long time. However, Angel didn't know how long the sacrifice in the Sea of Purification started, and he wasted ten hours. If he wanted to find the exit earlier, he had to act as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once the sacrifice begins, there is only a dead end.
As soon as the sense of urgency was mentioned in his heart, Angel also suppressed the thoughts of other nonsense, and talked to Qi Li about the current problem: "What is written on the wall, is it related to the exit?"
Qi Li was silent for a moment: "It seems to be related."
Then she read the short text word by word in common language: "The prophet does not ask about the past, the altar is forever cast high. Holding the sword of Meirui can open up the past and reach the end."
After finishing the recitation, Qi Li frowned and said, "If I am not mistaken, this final place should be our destination. However, according to the speculation of this sentence, if we want to reach the final land, we must hold the 'beauty'. Sword of Rui', what is this thing?"
Angel also fell into contemplation, but the meaning of this sentence is actually very obvious. The key words are the sword of beauty and the end of the land.
What is the sword of Meirui, and there should be no unsolved problem in Mechanic City. The sword of Meirui must be in the sea of purification. Is it a real sword? Or, is it an object that resembles a symbolic meaning
After thinking about it for a long time, Angel suddenly remembered the first underwater building he encountered, where there are countless times more murals or texts than here: "I have some texts here, you can read them. , Are there any clues to the Sword of Meirui?"
As Angel said, he completely simulated the scene he saw at that time.
From the mermaid totem, to the murals, to the text, Angel made a lot of simulations and presented them in front of Qi Li with illusions.
Qi Li was still searching for clues about the "Sword of Meirui" in her mind, but when she saw the pictures and texts in the illusion, her eyes suddenly froze and she read it carefully.
Magical power flickered in her eyes from time to time, and after a while, the energy fluctuations in Qi Li's body stopped.
She looked a little tired, but her expression was a little more relaxed.
"Yes, there is a record of the Sword of Meirui on it!" Qi Li looked at Angel, "The Sword of Meirui is not a sword, it is the heart scale of the ancestors of the Lige people worshiped by the Lige people."
"The Lige tribe? The Li tribe?" Angel read the tongue-twisting name, completely ignorant.
"The Lige people are the frogskin monsters in your mouth, and the Li people refer to this." Qi Li pointed to the mermaid on the mural: "This kind of ugly mermaid is the Li people. It is also the ancestor worshiped by the Lige people. spirit."
"You mean the mermaid is the ancestor of the frogskin?"
Qi Li nodded.
Angel looked surprised.
I originally thought that the mermaid was a product of some kind of belief, but I didn't expect them to be handed down in the same blood. However, the ancestors are at least a little human-like. Although they are ugly, the Lige people are really ugly. Who are these mermaids who gave birth to the Lige people? Are their aesthetics okay? Thinking about the process in the middle, I feel that it is too heavy.
Qi Li then translated the entire paragraph.
The text on the wall is indeed a supplementary introduction to the murals. The first few murals record the daily life of the Lige people, and the last few are the key points.
"The altar of the end is the final place of the Lige tribe. There are many priests of the Lige tribe, and there are also the servants of the Lige tribe. They will perform sacrifices to the gods here. If you want to enter here, you need the sword of Meirui as a guide. ." Qi Li pointed to the last fresco, the place full of sunlight was the Altar of the End.
"God? What the hell is this?" Angel originally thought that the mermaid totem should be the god of the frog skin monster's belief, but it was not. But now that the gods have escaped again, what the hell is this new god
Qi Li shook her head: "There is no record on it, but look at this picture."
Qi Li pointed to a mural in the middle. It was a cloud of mist that wrapped all the Lige people together. Below the cloud and mist was a soft wave.
"The record of this painting is ominous, but the theme seems to be 'moving house'. I have a guess, maybe the Lige people are not the native race that purifies the garden, they were moved in. The picture is the record of moving house, below the clouds The surface of the water, I guess, is the sea of purification."
Angel also understood what Qi Li meant: "According to your inference, you are saying that the sky machine city moved this group into the sea of purification. And the last altar of the end, the gods they worship, are actually... the sky. People from Mechanical City?"
Qi Li nodded: "It should be so."
Whether the altar of the end was originally their destination is still uncertain. But if Qi Li's speculation is true, then the Altar of End must be their final destination.
Angel didn't guess what the Sky Mechanic City was doing. The most important issue now was to find the Altar of the End.
However, the problem comes again. The Sword of Meirui, where can I find it
