Chapter 92: Underground Ruins
After the battle, the two searched in the cave and found some spoils. In addition to the extraordinary gems condensed on the dead monster, the long fangs were also excellent materials.
[Dragon's Gem] (Evaluation: Perfect Gold Level): Condensed on the dead monster, because the combat process is very short and the superb refining technique preserves most of the power. It can be used to create extraordinary creations and potions.
[Crimson Fang] (Evaluation: Rare Gold Level): The hardest part of the Crimson Devil Pig, with a strong heavy blow effect, can break gold and break stones with a light collision, which is suitable for making heavy weapons.
Immediately afterwards, the two discovered a passage in the corner of the cave, which seemed to be excavated by the demon pig, and the deep passage led to the ground.
Lorran Hill pulled Nya and slowly fell from the passage inside the hole in the breeze, while Nya fired a small fireball downwards to illuminate the dark underground.
The magic pig has expertise in rocks and flames, and it is not difficult for it to dig out the hard mantle, but the depth of this passage is becoming more and more surprising.
At first, Loran Hill and Nia thought they would reach the bottom in a while, but in fact they fell for a long time and didn't see the end, and the air around them gradually became stuffy and hot.
If both of them were extraordinary and had a strong physique, ordinary people would have fainted due to high temperature and hypoxia at this depth.
The passage extended downwards about 4-5 kilometers. When it was almost at the bottom, the scorching breath made Niya's head a little dizzy and her consciousness was a little blurred. However, the scene in front of her suddenly surprised her, and then she was deeply shocked.
The vast dome and square stone pillars, huge stone statues that are so high that people can look up, and the weathered and huge dragon-shaped bones all impact people's cognition.
The two landed on the extremely flat stone platform square, which could accommodate more than 3,000 people. They were surrounded by six high diamond stone pillars. The statue at the top of the stone pillars was like a square human figure. The human figure had its eyes closed, its hands were wrapped around it, and its forehead had a pattern similar to the sun.
In front of the square are huge stone pillars like bridge piers extending forward. There was originally a bridge deck on it, but now most of them collapsed and only a small part remains. At the end of the stone pillar is a magnificent statue sitting upright on the throne, like a human figure that has been magnified thousands of times.
He placed his hands on the armrest of the throne, looking ahead, behind the throne was a huge circle with exquisite patterns on the ring, and the faint light inside extended out along the patterns, just like the sun.
In front of the giant statue is a tall and square altar with a pair of dragon skeletons placed on it. Some of them are broken, and some bones are still scattered under the stage. The dust and footprints scattered in the middle should have been destroyed not long ago.
"Is this a ruin from the Giant's Court?"
Looking at this rough and atmospheric building, Lorran Hill expressed his guess. The architectural style is basically square, with only the corners and rounded, and all kinds of things appear extremely huge. Not only the human-shaped figures on the throne, but also the other stone chairs empty beside the throne, they are not like those used by human-shaped creatures today.
"Unbelievable." Nia shook her head, and her consciousness slowly turned around.
Looking at the scattered and weathered dragon-shaped bones, the two guessed that the magic pig had absorbed the magic power of the dragon to advance in the short term. Thanks to the extraordinary talent of this magic pig, it was able to dig such a deep passage and extend to this ancient ruins.
The era of giants and dragons was still before the First Age. Due to the lack of clear records of that time, no one can tell how long the era had existed, whether it was tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.
But scholars both elves and humans have a consensus that this era existed for at least 50,000 years. There have been several wars between giants and dragons, and they have deeply changed the world.
According to the murals excavated during archaeology and some continental landforms, some scholars speculate that the Sigh Mountains were originally continuous and there was no canyon in the middle. The destruction dragon called Bahamut ejected energy torrents directly penetrated the continuous mountain range and created a canyon running through the east and west in the middle of the continent.
It is hard to imagine that the canyon that is more than ten kilometers wide and two thousand kilometers long is not formed naturally, but is caused by the legendary giant dragon. This existence beyond common sense is also classified as Sequence 10.
Although it only exists in legends and no one has seen its true appearance, the existence of these Sequence 10 still leaves traces of their activity in this world, making the creatures think that Sequence 10 has at least existed, and that great power like a god is enough to destroy this fragile world.
When did these beings disappear? Why did they disappear? No one knows, and there are many different opinions. Some speculate that they died together after a certain war, and fragments of gods scattered in the world, while others say that they abandoned this world and went to other worlds. Some speculate that those chaotic phantoms were transformed by the obsession of dead gods.
The giant king, who is backed by the sun, stands on the top of the mountain rocks holding a spear of flames, and fights the blood-winged dragon holding the moon. The dragon spurts the frost of ice and blue breath, intending to freeze the entire world, and the extreme flames and ice are in stalemate.
Such murals have been excavated in the remains more than once. What's even more amazing is that even a different continent, thousands of miles apart, have been found similar murals. However, the shapes of the characters and dragons in the picture have changed.
On the Western Continent, the giant is more upright and brave, while the dragon has sharp and dense teeth, which looks very magical. On the Eastern Continent, the giant grinned and laughed wildly and was extremely evil, trying to burn and destroy the world, while the dragon is graceful and slender and kind, intending to extinguish the flames with the rain and dew and save the world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know how many years and time this ruin has gone through. Many items have decayed, aged and evaporated. Loran Hill and Nia searched in the ruins for a long time but did not find anything else available.
Finally, the two stood on the heads of the huge stone statue and observed the patterns on the huge round wheel behind the stone statue.
"Loran, look, there are patterns on the forehead of the statue." Nya said hello.
Lorran Hill walked over and looked at the weathered stone statue surface. The originally delicate lines had peeled off and weathered, and were in great condition. She gently brushed the dust on it with her hands and felt the lines inside.
The burning sun is like a pair of wings. If you look closely, you will feel that the wings are like the sun's light, and each feather is a ray of light.
For some reason, although I had never seen this pattern, a feeling of nostalgia rose in her heart and gently surrounded her.
