With a loud "boom", hot flames sprayed out, instantly swallowing the entire tunnel.

...

Thousands of miles away, the other end of the continent.

Underground.

As before, the dark and suppressed space is like the twisted rock walls of giant trees.

The blue fluorescent clouds and mist in the sleep slowly emerged, blending into an old face. He slowly opened his eyes.

A huge three-dimensional image of blue fluorescence gathering appeared in front of him. It looked like a structural diagram of a rectangular underground building.

The image continued to expand and finally frozen on three figures on the edge.

Her old face slowly opened her eyes wide and she looked quietly.

...

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!" Jones coughed violently. It was finally difficult for the sand and dust to completely dissipate. What appeared in front of him was a long tunnel in a semi-destructed state.

Dora next to her half covered her nose and was coughing gently.

"This is the entrance!" Jones cheered.

You have to admit that sometimes the power of trees is the most terrifying. A wall that requires a dragon to break can be squeezed bit by bit through thousands or even tens of thousands of years of growth until it is crushed. The growing trees destroy the hard walls, and Jones finally opens the road to the ruins by destroying the trees.

Through the newly opened road, the group began to grop inward bit by bit.

...

“Race Verification.”

"Two minor blood clans and one adult lich."

"identity?"

"Identified the Bone Holy Light Badge and the Giant Serpent City Badge. Other identities are unknown."

"The power of heaven and hell was not found within fifty kilometers around."

The old face was quietly floating, staring at Jones's every move in the image. He seemed not ready to take any measures.

The gaze moved slowly.

The three-dimensional structure diagram also moved little by little with his eyes, and the ground part appeared in the picture.

The wood elf, who was asked by Jones to return first, was standing outside the tunnel and looking around. Not far from him, behind the big tree, Andrew and Turu were squatting carefully.

...

"Master, they're in... are we going in too?" Turu asked in a low voice.

"Of course, but not now. We have to wait for them to go a little further. Otherwise, we will go in now and hit them directly, and that's all." As he said that, Andrew took out a small bottle, poured out two pills, swallowed one by himself, and handed the remaining one to Turu: "Eat it."

Turu obediently reached out to take it, swallowed it and asked in a low voice: "Master, what is this?"

"The pill that suppresses magic. The lich has a strong sense of magic. If we want to act under their noses, we must be careful enough."

"But Master, I don't have much magic at all."

"It's just that you can't sense it, there are still. No matter how much I suppress it, there are still. As long as the distance is close enough, the lich can still feel it. So I need to eat it." As he said, Andrew stared at the wood elf standing outside the tunnel from a distance: "You go around behind him, I attract his attention, and then you solve him."

"Do you want to kill?"

"Don't kill, just dizzy. Use the medicine I gave you."

"OK."

Tips, Turhu quietly began to surround the wood elf.

...

"Wood Elf, Blood Elf, Orc."

His old face looked quietly.

...

Crossing the tunnel that collapsed due to the squeeze of the tree roots, Jones opened his mouth slightly and emitted sound waves.

This time, what came to his mind was an extremely complex structural diagram. Various paths were up and down, left and right, and the feeling was like woven from vines. The most important thing was that these channels seemed boundless. The diagram that finally appeared in Jones's mind was not because it was only so large, but that Jones' perception range was only so large.

"Let's take a look there first." Jones pointed to one of the directions and said, "There's a closer approach to the magic source. If there is really something important here, it must be a place close to the magic source."

This is a reason that is not a reason. However, with no idea about this place, Jones seems to be able to judge in this way.

Holding the fire letter, Jones and his party began to explore the endless underground world bit by bit.

At the beginning, it was the same passage as the external tunnel, eight meters wide and four meters high. It was a bit like the sewer of the Lion King Capital. The difference is that the stone bricks used here are all immune to magic.

After walking for a while, what appeared in front of Jones was a huge space of forty meters square. There were steps on all sides, and in the middle was a dome supported by four large pillars.

Walking to the middle and looking towards all sides, Jones saw one passage after another on the wall, as if a child like Jones had walked into. If it were an adult height like Lucy, he had to bend over. Apart from that, there was nothing.

"What's the purpose of this? I can't understand it." Jones's brows frowned.

"Underground City?" Dora whispered.

"If it is a city, what are the uses of these pathways? They seem to be just pathways."

"Maybe it's ventilation? Our mines also need vents."

"It's a bit too big for ventilation. And it's all closed to the outside world. What kind of ventilation can it be ventilated?"

"Can it be a large tomb?" Lucy whispered: "Some human lords like to build large tombs."

"Well... it's not like it," Jones said hesitantly: "The scale of this ruin is at least fifty square kilometers. It's just a plane. Now it seems that there are obviously many layers. In this way, it may be five hundred square kilometers. What kind of lord can build such a large grave?"

Jones emitted a sound wave again, and then carried the fire letter to continue.

It has to be said that as a blood clan, it is very convenient to explore such underground ruins. At least it is much more convenient than other races.

...

At the same time, Andrew and Turu finally entered the ruins.

Touching the stone bricks on the wall, Andrew whispered the names of the stone bricks: "Forbidden Magic Stone."

"Forbidden Magic Stone?" Turu asked in a low voice: "What is it?"

"One of the greatest inventions of the era of Krymatha, a kind of thing that specializes in restraining magic. In fact, it is not just the Forbidden Magic Stone, but also a series of other materials related to the Forbidden Magic. With these things, Krymatha gained the upper hand in the war with other races, and even did not fall in the war with heaven and hell. Of course, the premise is that they can have magic support. Without magic support, they will collapse. This is also the most important reason why the era of Krymatha ended." As he said that, Andrew began to move forward carefully, bit by bit. The road was exactly the opposite of what Jones had just walked.

Turu lit the fire and followed carefully behind him: "Master, since these stones are so important, let's just move some back?"

"It's useless. Luo Gexian has long been there. No matter how you study it, it can't be copied. As far as I know, there is a 'core'. Only by getting that 'core' can you get the secret of the core."

"So, our goal is that 'core'?"

Andrew paused, then turned his head and gave Turu a blank look: "Young man, don't think too much. Our goal is to get whatever we have. God knows if there is that 'core' here? Krymatha has too many secrets."

Turu opened his eyes wide and looked around.

...

Leaving the space just now, Jones entered a huge space again. Yes, huge.

The surroundings were pitch black, leaving only the fire letter in Jones's hand as the only light source. Although nothing could be seen, Jones could clearly feel that the surroundings were very empty.

He opened his mouth slightly and emitted a sound wave. This time, what appeared in his mind was no longer the crisscrossing underground passages. But an underground city?

To be precise, Jones doesn't know how to describe it either.

He seemed to be in a city. Every building in this city was at least ten floors high. Because it was too dense, it was all crowded together. Jones stood on the balcony of the tenth floor of one of the buildings. There was a dome above his head, connecting all the roofs of the entire city and holding the dome of the entire city.

"Is this really an underground city?" Dora was shocked.

Jones didn't say anything, and he walked straight into a room next to him.

The small room, the structure of the inside and outside, is stomping on the ground, making a "rustling" sound. There is nothing but "sand".

Looking closely through the light of the fire, Jones pointed to one of the piles of "sand" with some outline and said softly: "This should have been furniture."

"Furniture?" Dora stretched her neck.

"Because I have been left for too long, all of them have decayed and turned into dust."

"Yes, some things I have left for too long will become like this." Lucy said, spreading her hands.

"Aunt Lucy has left the thing for tens of thousands of years?" Dora was shocked.

"Is this strange?" Lucy asked back.

After turning the whole house over, Jones quickly found some well-preserved metal parts from these "dust".

There are two well-preserved metal knives and forks. The rest also look like accessories for some daily necessities.

It seems that this is indeed an underground city. At least it is certain that in the days of Krimatha, people once lived here.

After walking a few more rooms, the situation was basically the same. In ten thousand years, most of the materials had been decayed, and only metal could be left behind. Even most of the metals had become decayed.

"We continue to walk to the magic source." Looking at Lucy, Jones said: "It's too big, and it's not easy to find something valuable. However, we can first figure out what the magic source is."

Lucy looked to the side, paused, and pointed to the front and said, "The nearest magic source is over there. Maybe we can find a small one first."
