After thinking for a while, Benjamin decided to make a bold attempt.
He wrapped the eyes in ice and created an ice layer that could isolate the green light energy. Then, without hesitation, he directly removed the ice layer originally arranged outside.
Suddenly, the zombie cow's body fragments were scattered on the ground, and the green light covered it again. However, having lost his eyes, it failed to work this time. The fragments all over the ground were still fragments and could not be restored to their original appearance.
More green light is still surrounding the eyeballs, slowly eroding the ice layer above, trying to communicate with those black things.
Seeing this, Benjamin nodded with satisfaction.
This attempt verified his idea. The entire ruins communicated with the zombie cow through these eyes. As long as the eyeballs are blocked, it is equivalent to blocking the will of this underground city.
At the same time, the ice layer he needed to maintain was reduced, and his mental energy consumption was reduced. He bought himself more than two hours.
So...how can he use this thing to get out of this place
To be honest, there is still too little information available. He knew that this underground city was the territory of that sect, but he didn't know much about that sect. And, most importantly, he didn't know what force sealed the original exit.
So far, he has only felt the power of the green light here. However, everything near the entrance was dark and there was no green light, which meant there was another reason why they couldn't get out.
Moreover, he didn't really understand what this place was about.
Headache…
Just when he was thinking about how to break the situation, the three guys from the Freemasonry also climbed out of the cave in despair after hitting the wall at the entrance.
They looked at Benjamin, who was still standing there, lost in thought, with a somewhat guilty expression on his face.
"... Sir Benjamin, you opened this ruins, you must know how to get out of here, right?" After hesitating for a while, they came over, showing a helpless look, and said to Benjamin in a low voice.
Hearing this, Benjamin smiled secretly in his heart, put away those two frozen eyes, and shook his head.
"I have no idea."
At this time, the three mages were panicked. Tony walked up to Benjamin, nodded and said, "Sir, please stop joking at this time. If we can't get out, we will all die here!"
"I'm not kidding." Benjamin said with a cold face, looking directly into the other person's eyes, "Let's not beat around the bush anymore. You must know something about this place that I don't know. Why don't you tell me all these things?" , I don’t know how to leave from here.”
These three people were able to lure the cow out inexplicably. He didn't believe it if it was purely accidental.
And what happened was not what he expected. After he said this, the three mages looked hesitant and looked at each other in silence, as if they had something to hide.
Benjamin had no choice but to continue speaking and add straw to the camel's back.
"There is no need to hesitate. To tell you the truth, I can only trap this cow for a few hours." He pointed at the pile of broken pieces on the ground with an aggressive manner and said, "You want to tell me what happened?" , do we all leave here together, or will it escape and resurrect in a few hours, and then we die together?”
Hearing this, Tony closed his eyes and sighed.
"Actually... we don't know much."
Benjamin shrugged and said, "It's better than not knowing anything."
Finally, Tony seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want to know?"
Benjamin pointed to the broken pieces on the ground again and said, "Where did you find this cow?"
"This monster... we ran into in a basement." Tony said slowly, "It was in a strange coffin. As soon as we walked in, the coffin shook violently, and it ran out of it. Just now. At first, we tried to fight it, but in the end, we found that we couldn’t kill it and would only make ourselves embarrassed, so we prepared to run away.”
"Where is the basement?" Benjamin asked.
"Don't go there, it's useless." Tony said, "That's a temple hidden in the city. The green light started to seal the place spontaneously, and we managed to escape with great difficulty."
"How did you find a temple hidden in the city? Don't tell me it was all a coincidence."
"We..." Tony hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't tell these things to anyone else. In an ancient document in the meeting, there are some records about this kind of city, so I have some knowledge about the structure of this kind of city. I understand. You also saw the mural in the meeting hall. Once upon a time, there was a war between the power entrenched in this place and the power of magic."
Benjamin nodded.
Of course he knew what this prehistoric civilization represented.
Perhaps thousands of years ago, the sect named "Kahura'an" had power that was many times more powerful than it is now. They were able to control this strange green light and developed different civilizations. But later, the power of magic rose and defeated them, so this force gradually died out in the long river of history. In the end, only the few streets in Riley City remained.
What he wants to know is, even though they are all dead, why is there still such a powerful force in this ruins, sealing them in this place
So, he then asked, "What else?"
Tony opened his mouth and said something completely different from what he had imagined.
"It was a very distant war, and the records in the data are very vague. The only thing we know is that in the end, the power of magic lost, and this green power occupied the entire world."
Benjamin was stunned.
… What is this guy talking about
If the power of magic is lost, what will happen to the world they are in now? If the green forces were really going to win, how could that sect huddle in the corner of the city and have no temper even when being attacked by gangsters
"What do you mean?" he asked doubtfully.
"It's normal to have doubts. I'm not very sure about what's recorded in the data. However, this place should be a certain ruins in that world." Tony explained, "I guess that through the one sealed by the green light In the temple, we may be able to enter the active territory of that world, but it will definitely be a dead end for us to escape there.”
But Benjamin's eyes widened and he looked confused.
Why did he feel that the more he listened, the less he understood
That world…
"You mean, this is not the world we were in before?" He asked half-surprised, "Riley City, Freeden, Icol... those places are not in the same world as us now. Plane, through that dark cave, we came to a completely different space?"
As he asked, he couldn't believe that he had asked such a question.
"Plane? Your definition is very interesting." After thinking about it, Tony said, "The information says that the war took place in another world under the rule of the God of Magic. After the war, that world was also abandoned by the God of Magic. , occupied by another god whose name I don’t know. However, these things are all legends. Many people in the magic theory circle now have a skeptical attitude as to whether the magic god exists. You can refer to it. We don’t I’m sure.”
“…”
Benjamin was speechless.
It turned out that he had misunderstood this place from the beginning.
This is not a prehistoric civilization, and it has nothing to do with the world they live in. Just like the modern world before he traveled, this is another independent dimension. The world view has changed, so there are so many things that he can hardly understand. Thinking about things here using magical thinking is like thinking about the magical world using modern thinking. It simply doesn't work.
No wonder he couldn't leave.
In a sense, he traveled through time again
