The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

The murals in the underground palace record the legend about the beast tide.

Through the forest spirit, Yu Ke learned that the instrument to suppress the beast tide was a bronze tripod.

Because he was interested in it, Yu Ke specially studied the contents of the murals when he was free.

The birdman with wings on his back played the role of an ally of the human race from beginning to end, and his form was not a simple bird head and human body.

If you have to say, some of them look like human-shaped bird beasts with wings. At least in the murals, they generally have sharp claws and their bodies are naked most of the time, with only a piece of cloth tied around their waists to barely cover them.

This alien race not only assisted the human race in resisting the beast tide, but also provided the skills of casting bronze tripods.

In theory, they should be worshipped and sacrificed as allies of the human race, just like the bronze statue in the ruins that sealed the beast tide.

However, the photos sent by Ye Yingtong showed the opposite situation.

The stone pillars full of broken chains and the birdman statue in the center made it difficult not to think of words such as binding and suppression.

"Are there things carved on the surface of those stone pillars?"

Looking through the newly sent photos, Yu Ke noticed that the surface of some of the stone pillars photographed was not flat.

"The expedition team also found many strange reliefs on the stone pillars. I need time to sort out the photos, figure out the information described in them, and then piece them together and send them to you in the evening."

Ye Yingtong had just finished the expedition mission and returned to the camp. It would take time to sort out the information.

Yu Ke knew that the expedition team had just experienced the fog incident in the mountains and must be exhausted now, so he did not urge Ye Yingtong.

Before ending the communication, Yu Ke specifically asked when Ye Yingtong would come back.

Whether it was the Qingming mask or the birdman statue in the photo, Yu Ke was very interested. It was not very convenient to communicate through mobile phone messages, so he wanted to meet Ye Yingtong after she returned to Jinghang City, and also gave her a few spiritual fruits as a reward.

"Sorry, I won't be back to Jinghang City in the short term. We need to continue exploring the ruins here. They say there is an important mission. The instructor has already agreed to it and said it is hard to refuse."

"Okay, maybe we can meet in the mountains then."

Without Ye Yingtong saying more, Yu Ke guessed that it was the sudden fog that aroused the vigilance of the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

Since it was learned that the ruins that suppressed the beast tide lacked the most important bronze tripod, Fang Zhenshou must have mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to search for other ruins in the mountains, trying to find clues. The importance of the expedition team at this time is needless to say.

After hanging up the call, Yu Ke did not stay outside Senling for too long, but went to the temple underground palace again to check the murals.

There is no doubt that the birdman is inextricably linked to the casting of the bronze tripod. The relief on the stone pillar is very likely to record related content. Yu Ke wants to compare it with the content on the murals, and maybe he will find new clues.

It was already evening when he returned to the temple underground palace.

Yu Ke didn't rush into the underground palace, but made a fire in the mountains to barbecue, holding skewers and drinks to enjoy the sunset at the top of the tree canopy.

When the sky gradually darkened, the bright moon hung high in the night sky.

Yu Ke sat cross-legged on the futon woven by vines in the canopy hundreds of meters high, and under the care of the forest spirit, he used the Mirror of Imagination to visualize the dragon again.

But this time it was not for anchoring the mind, but to try to understand the power of the dragon more deeply through visualization, so that the dragon bloodline strengthened by the seeds of disaster in his body could exert more powerful strength.

Waiting for Ye Yingtong's message.

Although Yu Ke's mobile phone was specially replaced, it was still difficult to receive information in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest. Only in the sky above this jungle could the information be received through satellite in the first time.

Just wait until eight o'clock in the evening, the mobile phone issued a message alert tone.

Yu Ke picked up the wind chime, jumped down from the canopy with it, and entered the underground palace behind the temple again.

The light blue fluorescent group made by Senling illuminated the murals and reliefs in the underground palace. Yu Ke opened the information sent by Ye Yingtong.

The ancients liked to record some major events in this way. The situation in the underground palace and the ruins was similar.

A breeze blew away the dust accumulated between the stone walls.

Walking from left to right, Yu Ke's eyes wandered between the walls full of murals and reliefs, and he looked down at his mobile phone from time to time.

Facts proved that his speculation was correct.

The birdman that appeared on the rock wall of the underground palace and the statue that Ye Yingtong found in the ruins were indeed the same.

The relief stories engraved on the rock wall and the stone pillar surface are the most direct proof. Through comparison, Yu Ke found that the content on the murals of the underground palace also appeared on the surface of the stone pillar.

However, as the comparison continued, Yu Ke finally discovered why the same birdman had completely different states in two places.

The stone pillars of the ruins do record the story of the birdman helping the human race, but this is only a small part of it. Other stone pillars also record other contents, while the murals in the underground palace only record the story of the birdman as an alien helping the human race.

The difference between the two is that the former records the alien race as the main body, while the latter records the human race as the main body.

Ye Yingtong is indeed gifted in the investigation of ruins. In just a few hours, he pieced together a clear story from the blurred and messy relief images on the stone pillars, and also annotated them.

In short, the alien race to which the birdman belonged brought the technology of forging bronze tripods to the ancients, and also led the ancients to find a mineral vein, from which the materials for making bronze tripods were obtained.

Judging from the situation described in the relief, the mine was obviously unusual. There were actually monsters guarding it. After a hard battle, they were cleared away. What followed was the process of casting the bronze tripod, which was in line with what Yu Ke saw in the underground palace. fantasy content.

The human race relied on the bronze cauldron to suppress the beast disaster. If the story ended here, the birdmen would undoubtedly still be allies.

However, on several other stone pillars, it is recorded that after assisting humans to suppress the beast tide, the alien race to which Birdman belonged somehow turned against the humans and tried to snatch the bronze tripod, so that a large-scale war broke out. .

The final result will naturally end with the defeat of the alien race, which is why this ruins exists.

As for the specific details, the relief on the stone pillar did not mention it, as if the relevant content was deliberately hidden.

Needless to say, there must be something fishy here. Yu Ke even suspected that the ancients wanted to monopolize the technology of casting bronze tripods, so they waited for an opportunity to go to war with the aliens, killed them all, and then changed history.

Of course, the above is just Yu Ke's speculation without any evidence, and it does not rule out the possibility that these birdmen want to use the human race to build a bronze tripod. After suppressing the beast tide, they want to snatch this treasure, which will lead to a large-scale conflict.

"The bronze cauldron that suppressed the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood disappeared. Could it be that the birdman did it?"

After looking at all the photos, Yu Ke stood in front of the underground palace murals and whispered to himself.

Before the ruins were discovered by the expedition team sent by the Disaster Prevention Bureau, no one else should have broken into it. Otherwise, Fang Xuanhe would have sent people to carry out relevant investigations, and he would never let anyone involved in it go.

Moreover, as the core of the entire ruins, the bronze tripod must have a large number of protective measures.

Let alone an ordinary expedition team, even one entirely organized by extraordinary beings would not be able to break through various mechanisms and take away the bronze tripod without leaving any traces.

Thinking about it this way, is it true that the birdman who provided the bronze tripod casting plan and sealed the beast tide with the ancients is the most suspicious?

After thinking briefly, Yu Ke decided to tell Fang Xuanhe what he had discovered.

If nothing else goes wrong, he should soon receive an investigation report from Ye Yingtong's expedition team. Then, recalling some of the information Yu Ke once mentioned, he may be able to find clues from the information about the ruins in the mountains. The opportunity to return to the bronze tripod.

"I seem to remember such a place."

Just when Yu Ke was thinking about how to remind Fang Xuanhe, the voice of the forest spirit suddenly sounded beside him.

"I don't know how many years ago this happened, the location of the mineral vein. What did you say, do you remember the location of the mineral vein?"

Yu Ke, who responded casually, didn't react until he was halfway through his words. He suddenly turned around and looked at the forest spirit and asked,

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I have been sleeping for too long. The lack of divine power has made my memory of many things blurred, and I need external stimulation."

The tall woman transformed from the forest spirit stood beside Yu Ke, bending down to look at the photos on his phone, and explained.

After being sealed for a long time and losing its divine power, the forest spirit has been weakened in all aspects. If Yu Ke hadn't regained fragments of its divine power for it one after another, it might still be just a dark green fluorescent ball.

Not to mention thinking about the mineral veins, I'm afraid I can't even open the door of the temple.

Yu Ke thought about it again and felt something was wrong. He spread his hands and said,

"Now is the era of great catastrophe. The environment in Jinghu Forest has undergone drastic changes over the years, but what you remember is the location of the mineral vein back then. Are you sure you can still find it?"

"I know the approximate location. As long as the mineral vein is still there, I can definitely find it."

As long as the mineral vein is still in the Mirror Lake Forest and has not been dug out, the forest spirit will have a way to find it. It is just a matter of time.

"Okay, I don't plan to go anywhere else for a while. I'm waiting for your news!"

The source of the ore for building the bronze tripod might contain relics left over from that time. Since there is a chance to find it, there is no reason to ignore it. Thinking of this, Yu Ke spoke decisively.

Report upwards along with the clues discovered by the expedition team.

Yu Ke received a message from Fang Xuanhe at noon the next day. The latter hoped that he could go to the mountains to discuss information about the bird-man stone statues and stone pillar reliefs.

Yu Ke, who knew the relevant clues through Ye Yingtong in advance, was waiting for the forest spirit to find the mineral veins. Naturally, it was impossible to leave at this critical moment, so he conveyed his discovery to Fang Xuanhe and said that he would stay in Jinghu Forest for a while. .

In the following days, the will of the forest spirit began to wander deep in the Jinghu Forest, looking for traces of mineral veins.

Yu Ke's life returned to peace.

A luxurious tent was set up outside the Jinghu Forest. While waiting for news from the forest spirits and spiritual training, his daily activities were to check the construction progress of the new camp, discuss the interior decoration of the new camp with Lin Zhenye, occasionally participate in the construction work, drive robots and Heavy equipment, handling various building materials.

When I really have nothing to do, I take Wind Chime to the depths of Jinghu Forest for a hunting adventure, continue my work as a patrol hunter, and strive to fill up my experience points as soon as possible, so that I can advance the [Forest Patrol Hunter] to the next stage.

This day is Axelius's holiday.

After temporarily putting aside her work as a hunting team, she came to Yu Ke's campsite, and the two made an appointment to hang out at the bar at the transit station in the evening.

While there was still some time, they sparred again in the forest clearing.

It's said to be sparring, but actually Yu Ke acted as a sparring partner to help Ansery test her fighting skills.

As the captain of the third hunting group, Anseli is in a commanding position most of the time. When facing ferocious beasts, he prefers to let his team members carry out sieges and mid- and long-range sniping. There are not many opportunities for head-on fighting. If you want to go all out, No chance of fighting.

Facing Yu Ke, he didn't have so many worries.

Anseli is well aware of the gap in combat power between himself and Yu Ke, so there is no need to leave any room for leeway in the battle.

With his legs entangled in dark blue wind whirlpools, Anseli fully activated his extraordinary abilities and catapulted between the trees in the forest at an astonishing speed, launching attacks from the blind spots in Yu Ke's field of vision from time to time.

Either use a sharp kick to hit the fatal part of Yu Ke's body, or move away from him and swing his toes, kicking out several wind blades.

Frankly speaking, this strength is quite good in the hunting team.

After all, Anseli ate a lot of double-headed dragon meat and spiritual fruits, which greatly improved his physical fitness, coupled with his hard training.

It has improved a lot compared to when the two first met, at least he must be at the middle level of power.

It's just that in Yu Ke's eyes, both strength and speed are too slow!

Standing in the middle of the forest clearing, Yu Ke didn't even move his feet significantly. He just moved around within a diameter of one meter. Not only could he easily hold up Anzai's offensive, he could even free his hands to counterattack.

"Huh~ It's still far from enough."

After another kick was blocked, Anseli looked at the palm holding his ankle and said with some disappointment.

"Don't be depressed, you are already quite capable, you just lack some development of your abilities."

Yu Ke glanced at Anseli's straight and slender legs, shrugged and said,

"You are always using tree trunks to change the direction of your movement. No matter how well you do it, you are still relying on the power of your legs. Have you ever thought about developing your legs to control the wind attribute spiritual power? This is Isn’t it the core of your extraordinary ability?”

After this period of getting along, Yu Ke knew that Anseli's extraordinary abilities were all in her long legs.

Her legs can gather wind-based spiritual power to increase speed and destructive power, and she seems to be bound by this characteristic.

"Isn't the wind blade just a method of control?"

"Yes, the wind blade is indeed a new use of your extraordinary abilities. Have you ever considered flying through the air? I think since you can control the spiritual power of the wind element, why not use them as stepping stones, just like climbing stairs? , as long as you can master this skill, you no longer need to rely on tree trunks, you can completely use the wind to change the direction of travel, right? "

Yu Ke has no experience in teaching others to use extraordinary abilities, but this does not prevent him from learning from the whimsical ideas of another world.

It can only be said that there is still a lot of room for growth in Axel's kicking skills.

"It's not that easy. The wind elemental spiritual power that my legs can control is limited. Condensing them on the surface of my body and releasing them is the result of long-term practice."

Anseli looked at Yu Ke with a little helplessness. She actually wanted to say that not everyone is as talented as Yu Ke.

"Do you want to make your legs more flexible?"

Yu Ke rubbed the forehead of the wind chime that was close to his side, as if thinking of something, he looked at Anseli's long legs.

"Ahem~ I'm not that kind of person!"

Feeling Yu Ke's somewhat aggressive gaze, Anseli coughed and shifted his gaze.

"It's not up to you. Come into the tent with me. I'll let you experience my unique secret skills today."

Yu Ke raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked towards the tent, waving for Anseli to follow him quickly. The latter looked at Yu Ke's back, his face turned red, and after a brief hesitation, he chose to follow.

Soon.

Ansaili's uncontrollable moans came from the tent.

"Can you please lower your voice? If someone passes by nearby, they might think I am doing something evil to you."

Moving a small horse to sit next to the bed, Yu Ke's hands were filled with natural energy, and he looked at Anseli, who had his legs together on the bed and his face was flushed.

When I massaged Frighthorn Deer and Wind Chime before, their reactions were obviously normal!
