Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 269 Burial of the God

The next day, the first rays of the morning sun shone into the forest.

The bonfire has been extinguished, and smoke billows from the burnt ashes. The breeze was blowing, and the charred firewood could still be seen glowing red.

Yuta opened her eyes, refreshed. These few days of vigilance, it is rare to sleep at ease all night. She did not disturb Su Lun, who was meditating beside him, and silently packed up the animal skin floor mat for sleeping.

After a short while, the crisp birdsong broke the silence, and Su Lun slowly opened his eyes from the meditation.

After digesting it all night, he has almost figured out the effect of the new breeding equipment.

"woke up?"

Yuta glanced at him with a smile, took a wooden stick and took out a few cassava cooked with residual heat from the bonfire.

"Um."

Su Lun nodded, clearing his mouth.

Picked up the roasted cassava again, and ate it with relish.

It was already dawn, and the bonfire was no longer needed, so Yuta completely covered the fire with soil. You must be very careful with fire in the forest, the Daru people will not cause trouble to the forest.

While playing with the soil, she said: "It's not far from here to the 'Cursed Valley'. Continuing north from here, there is a pass. The last time the clansmen came here, they encountered many strange creatures. We have to be careful. "

"Um."

Su Lun listened and nodded.

He didn't want Yuta to follow him on an adventure, but Yuta insisted.

She said that the ancestors of the clan would take risks for the continuation of the clan, and she naturally could. Now that the ethnic group has reached the most critical time, what is she going to do.

Su Lun had nothing to say.

The Daru people have their own beliefs, and Yuta has their own beliefs.

She is brave, persistent, kind, and sometimes silly. It's like she was at sea, she knew she might die, but she came back without hesitation.

Su Lun also felt pretty good.

The two packed up the temporary camp and set off again.

The entrance to the Curse of the Ancients is about twenty kilometers north of the Skull Crypt.

Because they walked very carefully, the two of Su Lun walked for a short time before arriving at a cliff pass.

The ground seemed to have suddenly cracked a large gap, extending farther and farther towards the north, getting wider and wider.

Standing at the pass, the vision is quite limited, and only some vague mountain shadows can be seen in the distance.

The pass is very windy, and there are eagles' nests on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon.

Yuta pointed to the foggy canyon ahead, and said solemnly: "The Curse Valley is ahead. The information left by the ancestors of the clan said that the fog will make people irritable, and the monsters will also be affected. So the monsters here are all It's brutal. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is."

"Um."

Su Lun looked at the fog in front of him and identified it.

【Necro fog】

Detailed explanation: The mist mixed with the negative emotions of the deceased has traces of toxins and a strong necromancy; breathing for a long time will lead to mental confusion, resulting in mania, hallucinations, coma, and other negative states;

"The spirit of death?"

Su Lun looked at the fog and guessed that the ruins might be some Necroplanet?

The fog is thin, so be careful, it's not too dangerous. He gave Yuta a gas mask and put on the crow's mouth mask himself.

Thinking about insurance, Su Lun channeled another suicidal bird.

The black crow liked such a canyon with strong dead aura, and Gaga flew down.

After waiting for a while, there was no danger in the black crow's field of vision.

Only then did the two of Su Lun climb down the cliff.

After this, he immediately understood why it was called "Cursing Valley".

The wind in the valley howled, whistled, and echoed in my ears. This voice sounded like someone was cursing in his ear, which made people feel inexplicably irritable. But I wanted to listen carefully, but I couldn't hear what to say.

Yutaxiu is the power of nature, obviously it is very uncomfortable to be in such an environment with a strong undead breath.

"Is this 'Whispers of the Dead'?"

Su Lun frowned slightly.

His spiritual power was very sensitive, and he immediately realized that this was not just the wind, but the whispers of the dead.

This sound is not actually heard by the ears, but the influence of mental power.

Could it be because of that war, a large number of strong people died, and the souls of the dead lingered?

Or is it because of the ruins?

Su Lun had guessed two possibilities in his mind, but he had not gone deep into it, and there was no way to confirm it.

Thinking about it, he opened the black umbrella and covered himself and Yuta beside him.

The human skin black umbrella can absorb the substances of the necromancer, and holding the umbrella is like opening the barrier, immediately isolating the two from the sound.

Yuta's face instantly improved a lot.

The canyon was formed by an earthquake hundreds of years ago, so a dense jungle has long grown under the canyon.

However, the trees here are generally gray-black, regardless of leaves or trunks, giving people a lifeless feeling.

The fog will limit the perception of most normal people, but Su Lun's soul perception is not limited at all. Even undead monsters have some thin "soul bodies". What's more, there are black crows in front of them to open their vision, be careful, it is not difficult for them to open the monsters in the valley.

The two gradually went deep into the canyon, and the fog was thick and thin.

It went a long way without encountering any danger.

However, this cursed valley once caused heavy losses to the team that the Daru tribe came to explore, so it must not be that simple.

No matter how careful Su Lun was, they still strayed into the territory of a [Human Face Rotten Flower] monster.

To be precise, the tentacles of that monster are buried underground for several miles, and they are caught in the canyon like a fishing net to catch their prey. To pass, there is no way to avoid it.

Those roots had no soul, Su Lun didn't perceive it.

The two stepped into its hunting range, but immediately came to life, wrapping them tightly.

Fortunately, Su Lun found that there were no normal creatures around, so he was prepared in advance. There are monsters whose body is not high, but the "weird" strength of Tier 3 silver.

[Phosphorus Fire Doll] A large-scale burning, the tentacles can't avoid it, and it's not a big problem to kill.

It was a surprise.

Su Lun also discovered that the environment here is very similar to that of Old Lingdon Land.

That [Human Face Rotten Flower] has the characteristics of flesh and blood, animals, and plants.

This is not a normal creature, nor is it an alien creature.

In the description of the old Lington monster system, this is an "abnormal monster".

That's because it can't withstand the pollution of necromancy, and the distorted native species.

Encountered a small accident, Su Lun and the two became more and more careful.

I encountered a few monsters with strong breath behind, and they all avoided it.

The progress of the journey is very slow because the walking is not fast. It got dark very early in the canyon, and the two did not choose to take a risky night trip and found a cave for the night.

The next day, after the sun shone into the canyon, they continued on their way.

At noon, they finally found traces of the ruins.

The last time the Daru people came to the Curse Valley was decades ago. There was no road in the jungle, and there was no line at all.

The only thing that can be distinguished are several large landmarks, such as "Bitter Winter Spring", "Goutou Rock" and "Korean Pine Forest".

Although Su Lun is very perceptive, in the jungle, Yuta's observation ability far surpasses him.

When the two walked to an area of ​​scorched woods that looked like a lightning strike, Yuta suddenly exclaimed: "Mr. Su Lun, look there!"

Su Lun walked over and took a closer look, only to realize that the inconspicuous stone was an artificially carved stone pillar.

Because the time is too long, the stone pillars are covered with green moss.

Su Lun was also overjoyed, seeing the stone pillars, which meant that they were very close to the ruins.

He identified the lines on the stone pillar, and his tone was uncertain: "This seems to be the worship totem of the giants. According to myths and legends, the giants worship the earth, so there are often mountain patterns on the totem."

Yuta nodded in approval, "Yeah! The old people in the clan also said the same."

Su Lun identified it himself, and found some other artificial buildings in the soil layer.

The scale is huge and looks like a collapsed temple.

The two didn't stay much longer and continued to walk forward.

After a while, they were blocked from their way.

I thought it was a mountain, but the fog cleared, and Su Lun realized it was a high wall.

Even if it collapsed, it was a jaw-dropping miracle building.

The city wall is only 100 meters high just exposed to the soil, and it is constructed by pieces of white stone strips as huge as trucks. There are traces of earthquake fractures on the wall, and gravel is scattered everywhere in the jungle.

The weather was fine today, the sun suddenly shone into the canyon, and the visibility became very high.

With a little excitement in Yuta's eyes, he pointed at the city wall and whispered, "Mr. Su Lun, we found it!"

After the city wall, it was the turning point of the decline of the Daru tribe.

So far, they don't know what happened there.

"Um."

Su Lun nodded, not jumping over the wall rashly.

In the memory of his harvest, the Holy Judgment Legion of the Evil Empire should have arrived in the ruins.

He released the black crow and flew over the city wall.

At this time, the wind was blowing, and the fog was drifting away, and the crow's field of vision was very wide, just to see the whole scenery behind the wall.

But at this sight, he was immediately shocked by the shared vision!

"That is.!!!"

Su Lun thought that the ancient ruins were the ruins of city buildings, but he never imagined that what he saw behind the wall was a super giant tree.

A big tree that covers the sky like a mountain!

It was a giant gray elm that was bigger than Su Lun knew, and it was the same species as the Daru Holy Land.

However, the size of the two is vastly different.

There is indeed a huge ruin behind the wall.

Tall stone pillars, ruins of palaces, and unique megalithic statues can be seen everywhere.

But all these architectural traces are on the huge tree with intertwined roots!

"how could this be?"

Thoughts flew in Su Lun's mind.

He immediately judged that this giant tree grew out of the ruins. Therefore, those buildings are supposed to grow on the trunks of trees, and they are washed away.

Yuta on the side looked at Su Lun with a different expression and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Su Lun?"

Su Lun looked slightly complicated and said, "I saw a giant tree."

When Yuta heard the description, she was immediately shocked.

When the ancestors of the Daru tribe came, it was full of fog. They only found some traces of ruins and monsters, and then they retreated without seeing the whole picture of the ruins.

After thinking about it, they thought the ruins on the mountain were actually on a tree?

Suddenly Yuta thought of something, and said excitedly: "I think, I may know what it is!"

"Oh?"

Su Lun listened and glanced sideways.

Yuta's eyes trembled, and her eyes were full of complexities: "That may be a lost magic technique of our Daru tribe - [Tree World Seal · Burial God]!"

"Divine magic?"

Su Lun caught the word keenly, and said in surprise, "You mean this giant tree was transformed by magic?"

"No, not magic."

Yuta shook his head and corrected: "[Burying the Gods] is a magical sealing technique that can only be performed by at least an eighth-order grand druid. But the power of the magical technique is beyond the control of an extraordinary person, and after it is performed at a higher level, the body will irreversibly turn into a tree. .So...that tree may be the magical body of the Arch Druid!"

After a pause, she seemed to have guessed the tip of the iceberg of some of the secrets of the year, and said in a trembling tone: "Such a huge seal, I am afraid that many top druids can display it jointly."

When Su Lun heard this, all kinds of clues appeared in his mind, and he seemed to understand why the top powerhouses of the Daru tribe were wiped out in that battle.

It turned out that he used this magic technique and turned into a tree?

But at the same time, the problem also came.

What terrifying thing is there in this ruins that requires the entire Daru clan to use magic to jointly cast a seal?

What is the "source of disaster" in the legend of the god of nature oracle?

The situation of the ruins of the Cursed Valley is obviously more complicated than expected.

When he encountered something he couldn't understand, Su Lun decided to ask for help off the court.

He picked up the communication ring and contacted Mr. Mirror.

After coming to the Daru clan before and knowing about the ruins of the Cursing Valley, Mr. Jing seems to have some guesses. I specifically asked him to confirm some information for her if she wanted to come.

Seeing this now, Su Lun got in touch directly.

"Sister, I have a question to ask you."

He stated his findings succinctly.

Mr. Jing was in retreat, and Su Lun thought he would not get a timely reply.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the communicator to hear a slightly dignified response from Mr. Jing, "You mean, the undead spirit in the valley is very strong, and there are high-level distortion monsters?"

"Um."

Su Lun said, and told the situation of the giant tree and their guesses.

Hearing that there was no response from the communicator for a long time, Mr. Jing seemed to be lost in thought.

Thinking about it, he asked again: "Senior sister, is there a plane passage under this ruin?"

After pondering for a while, a complicated tone came from the communicator, "It's not that simple."

After a pause, Mr. Jing continued: "My father always wanted to find out the real cause of the collapse of the civilization of the Dawn Era. Later, he traveled around and found scattered clues from some ancient ruins. He speculated that on the ice sheet of the Northern Continent, Right near the Silent Forest, there should be a place to bury the gods."

"The place where God is buried?"

Su Lun was interested.

My senior sister has seen a god-level powerhouse, and she also made up a knife.

She has such a tone, and it is definitely not as simple as an ordinary god.

"Um."

Mr. Jing responded: "In legend, the collapse of the dawn civilization was caused by a war. The top powerhouses of many planes encircled and suppressed the alchemy civilization, and a 'war of the gods' occurred. The details of which will not be known later on. .My father didn't find any definite clues. However, he reversed the cause and effect from the law of fate and determined that the shocking war must have happened. And the battle of the god-level powerhouse is very terrifying, and can even cause the plane to crack. We are now The lack of plane laws is very likely to be the reason for the collapse of the war in the first place."

"."

When Su Lun heard this, he finally understood why his senior sister was so concerned about this relic.

There are ancient treasures everywhere in this world. Mr. Jing originally came out of the ruins of Dawn City. Naturally, it is impossible to map any relics and treasures.

At this time, Mr. Jing said again: "The fall of the god-level powerhouse will lead to the collapse of the material and law levels, which is very terrifying. Those chaotic high-level laws, necromancy, and dark energy will overflow uncontrollably. For For those who are beyond the mortal realm, it may be a chance. But for mortals, it is a disaster like a plague. The best way is to seal those things up. Once it leaks out, it is like the source of the disaster , that would be devastating to human civilization."

Curse the valley's necromantic energy like this?

That said, everything seems to make sense.

When the deep-sea giant came to the ruins, it was just to grab the opportunity left by the fallen ancient gods in the dawn era?

Su Lun suddenly understood why the ancestors of the Daru clan sacrificed their lives to seal the ruins.

It turned out to be so.

However, the problem came again.

The Daru people can not covet the treasures in those ruins, and now it is the people of the Luying royal family who are developing the ruins!

Greedy nobles can even be slaves to human beings, and can they give up relics and treasures?

In case Mr. Jing guessed it, it was the "land of burial of gods". Isn't their behavior playing with nuclear bombs, and we all finish playing together?

Apparently Mr. Mirror also thought of this.

In the communicator, came her solemn tone: "I will rush over as soon as possible."

"Sister, are you coming over?"

Su Lun knew that her senior sister was at the critical moment of retreat and recovery, and she said that it would take about half a year to get out of the retreat.

Are you talking about coming now?

"Um."

From the communicator, Mr. Jing's decisive words came.

After a pause, she said solemnly: "Su Lun, if you can, try to prevent the Lu Ying army from breaking the seal. I will arrive in three days at most."

"."

Su Lun listened, his eyelids twitching.

The other party has a royal elite army led by a sixth-order army commander.

Are you so optimistic about your apprentice and brother?

In a moment of daze, a caring exhortation came from the communicator, "Well, pay attention to safety."
