At only eighteen years old, Lid has no fear in attracting the attention of the Gatekeeper.
Although there was nothing in the empty eye sockets of the Gatekeeper Beast, it still stood up keenly, and let out a deep growl with its decayed vocal cords, probably sensing that someone had entered its surveillance area. Lied raised his hand, and black flames swept towards the festering beast like a tsunami.
At that moment, the gatekeeper suddenly pawed the ground with its sharp claws, rushed up against the overwhelming black fire, and broke through the wall of fire in an instant, regardless of the sizzling sound of the meat on its body. Because it has been corrupted for a long time, the smell does not have the smell of barbecue at all, but is full of a vomit-inducing stench.
It shook the remaining flames on its body, and continued to rush towards Lid, who immediately ran away.
Lidd finally found a serious problem. Although the Lingwu lord said it lightly, but to be able to guard the living organs of the upper three races, he must have been an extremely powerful spirit beast during his lifetime. Although he didn't know which race it was, the power contained in his body should not be underestimated. Therefore, thousands of years of time cannot completely corrode it, and there is still terrifying power in this broken body.
Lied yelled out:
"Go and defuse the bomb, Zhao Zhao!!"
Then run away.
He deftly turned around the corner of the maze, but the gatekeeper turned a little slower due to its huge size, and bumped into the corner of the maze with a bang, knocking the solid wall out of cracks. From the corner of his eye, Lide could see the red figure flashing past, but he didn't have time to take a closer look. Even though he had run with all his strength, the distance between him and the gatekeeper was still shortening.
Fortunately, the turning speed of this behemoth was not fast, and Lide was delayed for about ten seconds by walking around corners. But then he found that he had run on a straight road, and there was a strong wind behind him. Lide covered his face with his arms and rolled on the spot, avoiding the pounce of the gatekeeper in front of him, but the road ahead was blocked.
Although there was an option to flee backwards, the gatekeeper seemed not to give Lid this chance, and the rotten paws were slapped on the head, but the strength contained in them was amazing. Li De chose to block the blow with the Black Flame Armor, intending to use his strength to escape backwards. If it goes well, he can turn around and taunt with remarks such as "This is my escape route."
What he didn't expect was that the power of the gatekeeper's blow made him fly backwards, hit the corner of the maze, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground in front of him. Seeing that zombie-like beast pounced on him again, Lide directly supported the wall with his black flame armor, and fell to the side with the help of the reaction force of the flame explosion.
This action lasted him for a few more seconds.
Before he could get up, the gatekeeper threw it to the ground. The one in the middle of the three heads opened its mouth. Inside were teeth that had not decayed but had begun to blacken. Lid bit his head down.
Rid hit the gatekeeper's jaw hard with his backhand, preventing it from getting close to him. The blackened saliva dripped on Lide's face, and a puff of white smoke came out. The two faced each other for two or three seconds. Lide suddenly felt the force in his hand lighten. When he came back to his senses, he found that the ferocious beast had gone limp. Without any strength, my own palm directly slapped the middle of its head out.
Li De breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lord Lingwu should have settled the matter.
He also didn't know how Lord Lingwu would deal with these organs without himself. But she must have her own way, such as using some means to lure the gatekeeper away, or using her invincible golden flame to think of a way.
Lied lifted the heavy gatekeeper off his body, tore open its tattered abdomen, groped inside, and took out a spar. Although the gatekeeper beast in front of him is huge, the spar in its body is only half the size of Lide's palm, and it is engraved with all kinds of complicated patterns. Lide glanced at it and felt that the design was very delicate. But the specific principle is temporarily unclear.
The lost ancient civilization, this is something that Lide has always been interested in.
There is not only human race in the world, there is a wider space beyond human beings. And these technologies that humans have never mastered represent an upper limit that this world has ever developed to. It is said that the wisdom of the upper three races is generally higher than that of humans, and being able to build such a secret place on the bottom of the sea is a proof.
For Lide, this is not only a dangerous area, but also a treasure house that can be unearthed infinitely.
Regarding the future development direction of Yuxi City, technology is definitely an important step, but Li De does not intend to only carry forward the traditional science he brought. This is tantamount to completely ignoring the magic system that people in this world have spent thousands of years creating, and ignoring the brilliant civilization they once created. If things go on like this, Yuxi City will eventually fall into a stagnant situation, and it will be difficult to make new breakthroughs.
Science itself should be inclusive. Bringing these great achievements in magic back to Yuxi City will make Yuxi City's attainments in traditional magic also rapidly improve. After returning back, Lide even wanted to build a magic research institute to study these lost and recovered ancient civilizations.
In terms of physical strength, humans are indeed lacking compared to other races. But in terms of curiosity and thirst for knowledge, humans will not lose to any race. That's why they can keep going.
…Of course, it’s still too early to think about this.
Lide took the spar into his arms and wiped off the dirty blood on his face, feeling as if he had taken a bath in the mud. He let out a breath, tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, and went back to meet Lord Lingwu.
Lord Lingwu looked at him who was covered in filth, and said expressionlessly:
"Next time you don't have to be so brave, I have a way to burn these rotten things."
After speaking, she turned around and raised her finger. Li De only felt the cold water falling from the sky, directly washing himself down. Sure enough, this woman can also use magic, but it is not clear which magician she learned from, or the ability passed down from generation to generation in the Lingwu line.
While wiping his hair, Lide complained to Lord Lingwu:
"Then you said beforehand, I don't want to take this kind of risk a second time."
Lord Lingwu said lightly:
"Next time you can choose to hide behind me, if you're not ashamed."
This is the lukewarm sarcasm Lied hides behind the woman.
Lide scratched his head, put his bags on his back, and muttered:
"What shame is there, it's what I should do."
As soon as he was about to follow up, he saw Lord Lingwu stretch out his finger on the chain and stretch out the magic circle engraved on the wall, and said without looking back:
"If you want to study this kind of living body mechanism, you'd better keep the control device in your head."
"I've marked the broken parts, and it will work normally after the connection is made."
"The magic circle is engraved on the wall, and I didn't bring a pen and paper. How much you can memorize is up to you."
