Chapter 226 Activated Ruins

"Is this a monster that has reached the second stage of strength?"

Jason squatted curiously next to the corpse of the giant beast next to Pororo, observing.

Overall, the corpse was relatively well preserved. Apart from the two spikes inserted into his body backwards, only two fangs were broken.

How can I put it, it's a bit of a pity to look at it this way, after all, huge fangs are a good trophy.

The irregular fractures are somewhat regrettable.

Fortunately, Jason is obviously not interested in these things.

The main cause of death was that Pororo poured lightning into the beast's head, causing the beast to be absolutely fatally injured by the lightning.

Juanlu also observed curiously.

For a chef, this is what he was thinking the moment he saw the corpse.

Can it be eaten?

Is it delicious?

How to eat?

Alka walked over and picked up the two broken fangs next to him. Looking at the two huge fangs in his hands, Alka tested the properties of their materials.

"Not bad, very good material." Alka couldn't help but exclaimed.

These two fangs can really be called very good materials, not to mention they are so big, bigger than both of my own arms.

While it is very strong, it also has good magic power conductivity. You must know that for materials, good magic power conductivity has almost nothing to do with solidity.

But now we have the best of both worlds.

It seems that inside its fangs, there are channels specially used for the transmission of magic power.

Except for the necessary gaps, other places are extremely dense and are simply natural materials.

Man-made smelting will never be able to achieve such uncanny workmanship of nature.

Walk over and squat with Huanlu, inspecting various parts of the monster's body.

The fangs brought a lot of surprises to Alka, and he couldn't help but want to see what other materials this giant beast had on it.

"There is actually some kind of strange energy in this horn. The skin is also hard, and the spikes on the body are pretty good."

Obviously, this monster did not disappoint him.

In response to Alka's admiration, Juanlu also cut a piece of flesh from the monster's body.

Looking at the crystal clear meat in my hands and the beautiful textures on it, you can tell from the appearance that the dish made from this meat is absolutely delicious.

The two of them began to dissect the corpse.

"The smell of blood is so strong, won't it attract other monsters?" Pororo stood nearby and sniffed and asked.

They are not in a slaughterhouse now, but on a dangerous island.

For him, the smell of blood was too obvious.

Upon hearing this, Xia Detti, who was standing next to him, immediately used a spell similar to blowing wind.

Blow the surrounding smell towards the seaside so that it does not spread everywhere.

Fortunately, Juanlu's butchering skills were very good and he and Alka cut it together. It didn't take 20 minutes for the huge monster to be completely separated.

"Except for the fact that the blood is not of much use, this monster is full of treasures!" Alka said, looking at the separated materials and shaking off the blood on his hand.

The bones and fangs on the body are made of the same material. This alone is enough to make Alka smile for several days.

The most precious thing among them is the sharp horn protruding from its head.

However, Alka hasn't yet figured out how to use this horn, and the leather and spikes on his body are also very good.

Secondly, this is the flesh and blood on his body. The flesh from all over his body has been cut off, which is enough for everyone on the ship to eat for a long time, not to mention that this meat is rich in magic power.

He cleaned off the blood on his hands and the cut materials, and put them all into Juanlu's pocket ring.

Mainly because Alka's pocket ring doesn't have much space.

"Is this meat really delicious?" Lucilia couldn't help asking from the side.

Juanlu kept sighing during the division just now, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

“Don’t worry, it’s definitely top-notch delicious food.”

Saying this, Juanlu had a smile on his face.

It would be extremely difficult to find such ingredients in Jiayuanhai.

For a chef, making delicious food not only requires exquisite skills, but also requires good materials.

Both are indispensable.

Better materials can also hone more exquisite skills.

The two complement each other.

He was very satisfied with his first stop in the Infinite Sea.

Apparently Alka thought the same thing.

"Okay, let's move on."

After saying that, everyone maintained their previous duel and began to explore the small woods ahead.

It seems that because this second-stage monster passed by just now, there are basically no small animals around here, and they were all scared away.

Then they saw Materissa entering the woods, squatting here and running there.

Every time you can harvest some plants that no one can understand.

Seeing the eyes of everyone looking at her, Materissa said with some embarrassment: "Then these are very good medicinal materials, I will collect some."

Everyone nodded.

Alka and Juanlu, who had just gained a lot, can understand it very well.

"Do you want us to help?"

"No, no, I can just pick some." Materissa waved her hand and said.

Although she said that, as they moved forward, there were more and more various medicinal materials around, and Materissa couldn't hold them anymore, so she had to give up in the end.

"The concentration of magic power here is too high. The high concentration of magic power allows many medicinal materials that are difficult to find in the home sea to appear here." Julia said as she looked at the plants around her that were almost all rich in magic properties.

This island has a higher magic power than the surface of the Infinite Sea.

The most bizarre thing is that the concentration of magic power seems to be different in each area.

For example, the concentration of magic power in the beach just now and the plain next to it is only a little higher than that of the sea surface, which falls within the normal range.

And this forest is obviously beyond the normal range.

These various materials are basically forced out by excessively high magical properties.

This is not beneficial to the balance of the entire environment, but it is the greatest benefit to the plants themselves.

For the chaotic boundless sea, perhaps no one cares, this place is already in chaos.

After hearing Julia's words, Simon thought for a moment and asked, "Does this mean that all kinds of precious spell materials are actually everywhere here?"

Julia nodded, that's what she meant.

Because not only Materissa, Alka and Juanlu have also collected a lot of materials along the way.

Edible vegetables, fruits, and some interesting pieces of wood branches.

Even Simon himself was like this. He had just pulled a lot of canes from a tree.

Four people who have needs for various materials have gained a lot here.

"No more, the pocket ring can't fit in it at all." Alka checked his pocket ring and said helplessly.

Juanlu next to him nodded in agreement.

"Forget it, let's collect these after we finish exploring this place." Alka looked at the materials around him and said reluctantly.

Fortunately, the grove was not very wide, so they got out quickly.

There is another wilderness ahead, and the materials here are obviously much less. Compared with those in the forest, there is suddenly not so much desire to collect.

"This is a bit desolate."

"Not all plants can grow easily with excessively high magic power, let alone the magic power here. It seems to have changed its properties and is more inclined to the earth element." Julia said next to her.

Along the way, they encountered more ordinary mud and weeds with extremely tenacious vitality.

There are fewer trees and various plants.

Except for the dense forest just now.

Walking in the wilderness, they looked at a huge rock protruding from the ground not far away. Below, everyone saw a mass, which looked like traces of a burning bonfire where someone had slept in the open.

"Someone has slept here, probably within a week." Jason squatted down and inspected the ruins of the bonfire and said.

This can only be said to be further confirmation that there are people on this island.

Although everyone has already determined it.

Skipping the huge rock, everyone continued to move in the direction designated by Alka.

Soon everyone saw a huge man-made object in the wasteland, which was just a huge building ruin.

Looking at the ruins, everyone walked over with a little vigilance, making sure that there was no danger around.

"There are footprints here, someone has been here." Jason said while looking at some traces around the ruins.

Alka also found many traces in another place.

"There are too many people who have been here, and traces appear from far to near, almost every once in a while."

Everyone looked up at the ruins and could clearly see that it was some kind of building made of huge rocks, but it eventually collapsed.

Even though it collapsed into ruins, these stacked boulders made the highest point reach more than 10 meters.

You can imagine what a magnificent building it was before it collapsed.

But what's strange is that there don't seem to be any supporting building ruins around here.

There are many weeds around these collapsed ruins, which have long been integrated with the surrounding environment.

They could see that the height of the ruins was more than what they saw. Many parts had already been buried deep underground.

There are still many vague carvings on these boulders, but as time goes by, many of them have become unclear.

"I've seen similar carvings like this."

Lucilia jumped onto the ruined stones and said, and then began to carefully examine the carvings that could still be seen clearly.

"P...Si...Temple."

She found a boulder with the most carvings, studied it carefully, and then read out the font she could recognize.

Everyone was watching and on guard, waiting for Lucilia to finish studying the ruins.

Lucilia has the most knowledge among them, perhaps even more than the rest of them combined.

And Alka also knew in her dream the tip of the iceberg of Lucilia's exaggerated knowledge.

Leave the professional stuff to the professionals.

With Lucilia's exaggerated knowledge, there is no problem in playing a guest role as an archaeologist.

It can even be said that most archaeologists are not as professional as her.

Due to the limited number of exposed stones in the collapsed ruins and the passage of time, Lucilia did not spend much time to simply interpret it.

Looking at everyone, he said: "These carving patterns have been recorded in the book, but in comparison they are much older, well... a similar existence is the Markwa Empire, which is recorded in the book as an empire that perished about 3800 years ago.

The text they used seems to be a simplified version of the civilization where the ruins were located, so the Markwa Empire should be the successor to the civilization that once existed in the ruins."

Listening to Lucilia's words, everyone was slightly confused.

It's more or less incomprehensible.

For example, who is the Markwa Empire?

When you look at everyone's expressions, Lucilia knows that they don't understand much.

"Oh, so you need to read more. Anyway, you just need to know that these ruins are the more distant ancestors of a country that existed 5,000 years ago."

If you say this, everyone will understand.

A simple understanding is that it is the ancestral civilization of ancient civilizations.

"Judging from the carvings and words used on them, this should be some kind of temple."

"According to the fonts that can be read clearly, plus the records I have seen before, if it is read in their words, it should be..."

As she spoke, Lucilia spoke an unknown language.

It should be the former name of this building ruins.

So how many languages ​​does she know?

Alka thought helplessly.

He probably learned seven or eight different languages ​​from Lucilia, but Lucilia was still able to speak many languages ​​he had never heard before.

What he learns may be just a drop in the bucket.

The languages ​​Lucilia taught him were all languages ​​that Lucilia felt had more users.

As her voice fell.

There was a breeze blowing around.

The breeze made Julia, who was slightly wary, frown.

"Be careful, the concentration of magic power around you seems to have increased."

As soon as they finished speaking, the ruins beneath their feet began to shake.

Just when everyone was about to leave, a burst of energy spread out from the ruins.

They were frozen in place for an instant and then disappeared.

The whole process is extremely fast, as if in the blink of an eye.

The fluctuations of energy spreading out alarmed some other people on the island.

For example, in a strange small town.

"Another temple was opened? Which little brat started wandering around again?"

A middle-aged man wearing leather armor and holding a book in his hand said.

Hearing his words, the people who were talking next to him turned their heads one after another.

"Chief, do you want us to send someone over to take a look?"

"It won't cause these beasts to riot again, right? I don't know what it will be."

"Who knows, maybe a meteorite will fall on our heads."

"Stop talking sarcastically here?"

"Cardly talk? It's not like you weren't hit before when you were a kid!"

Seeing the noisy people around him, the man called the hand shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, let everyone be vigilant and strengthen patrols to control their little brats. Shiraishi, please take a team to have a look."

The man named Shiraishi nodded.

Then these people started to act according to the order.

At this time, Alka and others, who had been frozen and disappeared in place, had arrived in a strange space.

"It's so dark, so where are we now?"

Jason rubbed his bruised head, looked around and said.

Little bits of light fluttered, and the light balls floated out one by one from Xia Daiti's position under her control, lighting up the surrounding area.

Everyone stood up from the ground and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Is everyone okay?" Alka turned to look at everyone's situation.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Alka counted the number of people and nodded after making sure everyone was fine.

Only then did he observe his surroundings.

They seemed to have fallen into some kind of underground cavity, and their voices echoed slightly.

This shows that the hole is not small and very spacious.

Of course you can see all of this.

As more light groups floated out, the entire space was completely illuminated, and they were able to observe its panoramic view.

In the huge cave, they landed on a certain platform.

This platform is obviously man-made and is round in shape. The stone floor has been polished very smooth, and you can see the carved textures on it.

Very... neat.

Four bridges form a cross, connecting the central platform. The width of the bridge is about four meters, and there are stone pillars on both sides that look like braziers.

If you look closely, there are four brazier pillars on each side.

Beyond the platform was a dark abyss. Alka raised his head and looked down. It was bottomless, and he threw a piece of gravel next to him, but he didn't even hear an echo.

In the abyss, four huge stone pillars protruded from bottom to top, and the platform above the stone pillars was flush with the platform they were on.

On each stone pillar is a humanoid statue wearing full body robes. Apart from the appearance, no facial sculptures can be seen.

These statues are all about 12 meters in height, and they are all held in hands, but there is nothing in their hands.

In addition, there is a stone sculpture like the Holy Grail in the center of the platform they are on.

The surrounding scene attracted everyone's full attention, and they remained vigilant and observed everything around them.

"No one has been here for a long time."

Jason looked at the human prints printed directly on the ground after he fell, as well as the dust all over his body.

Almost every step they take can raise dust flying in all directions.

The thick dust was enough to show how long it had been since anyone had set foot here.

Alka stood there, frowning and starting to recall how they got to this place.

"The reason why we are here is probably because of the unknown language Lucilia spoke?" Alka said with some uncertainty.

Because when Lucilia said the name of the temple in a language they didn't understand, visions began to appear.

The increase in magic power concentration, the breeze blowing and the fluctuations transmitted after the vibration brought them to this place.

Hearing this, Xia Detti looked at Lucilia who was dusting herself off and asked: "So what do you mean by what you just said?"

"Pasteva Temple, I just pronounced the name of this temple in a language similar to this civilization." Lucilia said.

She didn't expect that just saying the name of the temple would activate something and bring them to this place.

"Forget it, let's take a look around first, see if there is any place to leave, and see if there are any dangers in this place. Remember to pay attention to your steps and don't fall."

Alka said and began to look at the entire platform.

Everyone was also slightly scattered, but they all kept a certain distance.

Alka first looked at the Holy Grail-like sculpture in the center of the platform.

This Holy Grail sculpture is about 1.5 meters high, and it is empty inside, with nothing in it.

The Holy Grail is also engraved with completely incomprehensible patterns.

Then Alka, Shadetti, and Lucilia followed the stone bridge connecting the platform to the other side.

The materials in the stone braziers on both sides of the stone bridge can no longer be ignited.

After arriving on the other side, everyone discovered that there were rows of seats in this place.

They are arranged upward in a four-story ladder shape and surround the entire platform.

Other than that, there is nothing special about the other side, and there are no passages or suspension bridges connecting to the outside.

This seems to be a completely enclosed, huge underground cavity.

I had no choice but to turn my attention to those carvings to see if Lucilia could find anything.

After about half an hour, everyone gathered in the center of the platform again.

Start sharing everyone’s findings.
