Chapter 580 Crystal Castle (Part )

The dwarven architectural style is heavy, solid and rough. No matter whether it is exquisite or not, just tell me whether it is practical or not.

What we saw before, except for the original gate and maze, were all in dwarven style. Even Yue Luo said that this was a dwarven relic from the Five Kings Mountains period.

But what’s going on with this style of painting now?

Walking down the stairs, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge translucent crystal structure, reflecting light blue light, looking like a crystal castle.

There is a round hole facing the three people. To be honest, it looks a bit like a sewage pipe, but no matter up, down, left or right, it is all a whole crystal structure, and there is not even a trace of splicing.

This is not something a dwarf could come up with.

So, is it an elf?
During the period when the elves' magical civilization was most developed, they were quite fond of this natural crystal structure for a period of time. If it were taken out alone, it would not be surprising to say that it was the creation of the elves.

But this is beneath the dwarven ruins.

It is true that elves and dwarves appeared almost at the same time, but the prosperous period of the elves' magical civilization was thousands of years apart from the period of the Five Kings Mountains.

The decline of the elves occurred 12,000 years ago, while the Five Kings Mountains period was 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. The two should not have collided.

Now, Alde is more and more curious about who built this relic. Perhaps the most reasonable explanation is that this relic was once expanded by many races. Otherwise, there is no way to explain how things with such different styles were put together.

Looking to the left and right sides of the 'Crystal Castle', you can see a large mushroom forest, which should be connected to other underground cavities. The three even saw a group of furuma floating between the tall glowing mushrooms.

This is a monster that is shaped like a jellyfish, with two eye stalks inserted at the top. At first glance, it looks a bit silly and cute.

The threat level is indeed not high, and they generally will not actively attack people, but their appearance is not good news.

Where Furu appears, it can generally be said that it is deep underground. In such a place, it will have a great impact on the teleportation spell. The teleportation spell is likely to fail, or the person will be teleported to a place thousands of miles away from the original destination.

This effect is called earth radiation, which is equivalent to a very strong interference. Teleportation spells that are not optimized for it must not be used.

This is equivalent to blocking Orday's retreat. After all, in the worst case scenario, the wizard can teleport away, which is the last resort.

But Oldie would not back down. The three of them just looked at the door for a while, and then went into the passage opposite without hesitation.

The more mysterious the place is, the more excited Orday is. If she wasn't looking for the Demon King's Ring, she would probably spend several years searching every corner here.

After entering the passage, you will see that everything above, below, left and right is made of crystal material, as if the entire building was polished out of a whole piece of crystal. This construction technology definitely involves special abilities such as magic.

However, these crystals are not reflective, but have a high light transmittance. When the three of them walked in this passage, they felt like they were walking in an aquarium and looking at marine life through glass.

From time to time, some underground creatures would be seen flashing past behind the crystal. Their actual location might not be where they were seen. The light passed through the special refractive surface inside the crystal, and it was very likely that it would refract the scenery that was far away from Oldie and the others.

Such attention to detail makes people doubt whether this operation was created by elves. They are like this and especially like to focus on details.

We continued along the passage, there were no forks in the road, and after just a few turns, Nemia, who was walking in the front, suddenly signaled to stop.

The three of them looked out from the corner and saw a row of round objects placed about ten meters away on the opposite side of the passage.

After a closer look, I found that it was the head of some special creature. The skin of these creatures was purple, and there were a bunch of tentacles where the mouth and chin should be. The elongated head looked a bit like the classic alien image in the movie, and also a bit like a deep-sea creature.

Nimia trembled a little and whispered:
"That couldn't be..."

"Yes, it's a mind sucker. To be more precise, it's the head of a dead mind sucker."

"..."

Mind-sucking monsters are a race that specializes in eating human brains. Although they have high intelligence, they are completely unaccepted by mortal society and are classified as monsters.

These guys would use their minds to control their victims at night, and they would put their brains over to be eaten by the mind suckers. Their mouths hidden under their tentacles are very similar to the mouth structure of a nautilus, and they can easily pry open the skulls of intelligent creatures like a crowbar.

It would be fine if these guys simply ate brains, as animal brains are also brains, but they only eat the brains of intelligent creatures, which is really hard to accept.

The reproduction method of the mind sucking monster is even more unacceptable.

They scoop up worm-like tadpoles from saltwater ponds and place them on the mortals they control. The tadpoles burrow into your eyes, ears, or nostrils and burrow into your brain, devouring your gray matter while replacing it with their own body.

It won't be long before this unlucky guy will be directly transformed into a mind-sucking monster amidst painful convulsions and psychic energy fluctuations.

This kind of creature that directly feeds on mortals of other races is of course not welcomed by people. In many fairy tales that are used specifically to scare children, the mind sucker is a boss that appears frequently.

This is also why Nimiya was frightened on the spot.

The last time I went to get the Demon King's Ring, I also encountered mind suckers and even a snail-shell ship. This time, mind suckers appeared again.

However, this time, the mind-sucking monster seemed to have been chopped off first, and its head was placed on the ground as a decoration.

"Don't be afraid. No matter how scary the mind sucker is, when it dies it's just a pile of rotten meat. Let's go and take a look."

Although Nemia didn't really want to get close to this purple octopus head, but...

Fine.

The three of them came out from the corner and approached the row of mind-thirsty skulls. Strangely, the further they went, the taller the skulls became.

At first I thought it was because of the distance, the mind-thirsty monster's head was placed in a relatively high position, and as it got closer it naturally became higher in the field of vision.

But when the three of them continued to get closer, they discovered that the heads of the mind-sucking monsters were not in this passage, they were just refracted images.

When the three of them walked to the other end of the passage, the head of the mind-thirsty monster had already run right above them. Looking up, they could even clearly see the rough cross-section of the mind-thirsty monster, as well as the trachea and esophagus of the mind-thirsty monster, almost like looking at a specimen through a glass plate.

This should be the influence of environmental factors. As mentioned before, the surrounding crystals will refract images from far away.

This discovery made the three of them feel a little relieved, but then again, who could kill a dozen mind suckers and tear off their heads to use as decorations?
