Chapter 427 Mysterious Ruins (Part 1)
"boom!"
A cylindrical sword qi slammed into the gate of the seabed ruins, and the violent impact shook the seabed quivering, and the soft sand and dust bounced up, making the sea water turbid.
Tang Ke's full blow failed to shake the door, it seems that this ruin is extraordinary. He bypassed the stone gate and looked for a suitable place to start on the stone wall. Not long after, he found a defect in the corner of the ruins. There are also cracks next to the defect, which look quite fragile. From the outside, the gap looks like a sea monster claws out.
He retreated some distance back, and the light under his feet was out of thin air, and it was getting stronger and stronger. He snorted, kicked his feet violently, and the light from the soles of his feet exploded, pushing him to the front of the gap. Light up the dark seabed.
"boom!!"
The sword energy slammed into the gap, and with a rumbling sound, some gravel rolled down. The smoke cleared, and the ruins revealed an entrance.
Tangke withdrew his sword and swam into the entrance. When he entered, he rubbed the sharp stone and scratched his clothes.
The ruins are still full of seawater, and it can be seen that there are many cracks here, not a sealed environment. Tang Ke clasped his five fingers tightly, flicked it lightly, and several sword air **** flew out of his fingertips. These sword air masses flew all over the ruins, illuminating the surroundings. Although he has excellent eyesight, he prefers to stay in bright places.
The interior is a rectangular space, with many rough carvings on the ground and walls, many stone pillars standing, and many candlesticks extending from the wall. It can be seen that the ruins were originally built in the open air, and later sank to the bottom of the sea due to changes in the crust. At the end of this space, a dazzling light is refracted.
Tang Ke looked around and confirmed that only the light in front was suspicious, and turned around and swam over.
The source of the light comes from a large mirror, which reflects the light of the sword energy and emits a certain amount of light itself. The light of the mirror itself is pale blue, wandering irregularly, sometimes bigger and smaller, more or less. This mirror is as tall as three people, and the edge is inlaid with gold, revealing an indescribable mysterious beauty.
Donk used an investigative technique.
Shuttle Mirror:
Level: Epic item.
Type: Other.
Description: If you want to get from one place to another quickly, this treasure is undoubtedly the best choice. Just step into one mirror and you can come out of the other mirror, no matter how far apart the two mirrors are. This kind of treasure mirror comes from the hands of craftsmen in the ancient times. At that time, the craftsmen would be inspired and helped by the gods to create extraordinary treasures.
Effect: Travel from one mirror to another.
No matter what is on the opposite side of the mirror, the mirror alone is already a good treasure. If you can set up the shuttle mirror on several territories, you can quickly travel between territories to transport supplies or people.
But it is meaningless for light to get one mirror, at least it needs to get two mirrors to pass through.
I don't know where to go from behind this mirror, and it may lead to an extremely dangerous place. Tang Ke believed in the famous saying of seeking wealth and wealth at risk. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to touch the mirror surface. As soon as his hand touched the mirror surface, he passed through it. The touch felt like he had plunged into icy water. Tangke's hand didn't feel anything strange, he gathered up the courage to step forward, and the whole person disappeared in the mirror.
Tonk saw multicolored light, like some kind of color spectrum, or a scrambled rainbow. The light quickly dissipated, and Tang Ke's feet felt a solid touch. He really passed through, and there was already another place around.
This is much smaller than the previous hall, very narrow and long, but the texture of the stone and the carving style of the ground are the same as before. There is no seawater infiltrating here, and the surroundings are tightly closed and dim.
Tangke walked forward and found two more passages on the way. It turned out that this was a crossroads, and at the end of each intersection, stood the same mirror. Tang Ke had a hard time. First, he didn't know which mirror to choose to move forward, and second, he didn't know how to transport these mirrors.
In addition, he still has a question, is this still the underwater ruins? With this in mind, he called up the chart to check, and found that his place was actually located in the Gem Sea, more than 10,000 nautical miles away from the previous ruins!
With such a long distance, it cannot be transported separately. It is better to be able to carry the mirror and go back through the mirror. However, in this case, the "space channel" of the two mirrors may be distorted or even destroyed. It's just a guess from Donk, but it's a reasonable guess. He likes taking risks, but he doesn't want to court death. He immediately gave up the idea of transporting mirrors through mirrors, and decided to find out here before making plans.
Holding a light ball in his hand, Tangke carefully checked the cross-shaped passage, but could not find any guidance. Those pictograms might have deep meanings, but he couldn't see them.
"Fried beans in a small pot, the more you fry, the more stinky you get..." Tangke said a tongue twister he learned as a child. Anyway, he didn't know the right path, so he just randomly chose a path.
Passing through this mirror, and then arriving at a T-shaped passage. Tangke checked the chart again and found that he had changed the place again, which was far near the sea of floating ice. He followed the solution from last time and chose a random path. He repeatedly passed through more than a dozen mirrors, but still couldn't reach the end, and every time he changed places, his location would change.
"Huh?" Tang Ke was stunned to find that the newly arrived place was very familiar, and he must have been here before. Every time he chooses a mirror that he has never walked through before, it stands to reason that he should not return to the same place.
Tangke felt that he couldn't walk around anymore, he should go back on the same path and make calculations later. He turned around and stepped back to the mirror, but what he returned was not the E-shaped passage just now, but another L-shaped passage. That is to say, he can come out of this mirror, but he cannot return to the same place through this mirror!
He was a little clueless in his heart, if that was the case, he couldn't use his memory to return to the entrance, because the place where the mirror led was chaotic. In order to verify this guess, he entered the mirror again, and this time the location the mirror leads to changed again, becoming an H-shaped pathway!
These mirrors are really weird!
Tang Ke frowned, stopped walking around, stood in place, and thought patiently.
Why can't I go back and forth normally through these mirrors? Could it be that the places where these mirrors lead are random? If so, why is it not mentioned in the results of the investigative technique...
Tang Ke fell into the whirlpool of thinking, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he came up with an answer. The result of the investigation is not wrong, the problem lies in the target ground of the mirror.
Suppose the first mirror is a and the leading mirror is b. And mirror b leads to mirror c, but not back to mirror a. In this way, people who enter the ruins can only keep moving forward, but cannot return according to the original path.
If you want to get out of here, you have to find the mirror leading to mirror a.
There are two choices in front of Tangke. One is to continue to kill the mouse, and the other is to directly destroy the place with brute force and escape. Tangke chose to continue walking around, because if he destroyed this place, he would have to run back to Dragon Nest Island by himself, and the distance was not short.
The ruins brought him a lot of trouble, but he didn't regret coming here. It was so strange here, there must be some secret hidden here—a secret worthy of his exploration.
Tonk traveled through mirror after mirror to about forty different locations. The span of these places is very large, covering a whole small half of the planet, forming a huge network.
Gradually, he figured out the direction of a part of the mirror maze, but he still hadn't found a way back.
The scene changes. This place is very different from the previous place. It is a circular space with a circle of mirrors around it. There are more than 30 mirrors. This is obviously the center of the mirror labyrinth.
Looking around the mirrors, Tangke felt a little dizzy and didn't know which one to choose.
"Child, you have come to a place where you shouldn't have come and disturbed my cleaning." A distant and old voice sounded, echoing in all directions, and it was difficult to find the source.
Tangke turned his head quickly, looked left and right, the surroundings were empty, only the streamer light in the mirror was changing.
"Who are you? Where is this place?"
"As an intruder, don't you think these questions are presumptuous?"
"I'm a pirate," Tonk said, "not very polite."
"You should change this bad habit and learn more courtesy, because there is a saying that disaster comes from your mouth."
"Okay. I'm willing to respect you because your house has 'hosted' me for a long time, but you have to show up. I think hiding your head and tail is the most impolite behavior."
"I...it's inconvenient to show people."
"why?"
"I don't want to talk about my affairs with a stranger, so please leave. This is my last good word of advice. If you don't want to leave, I can only take some actions. Treat you in a friendly manner."
"Oh?" Tangkra raised his voice and drew out his sword, the blade rubbing against the scabbard making a scalp-tingling sound, "What do you mean by being unfriendly?"
The mysterious man was silent for a few seconds, then lamented: "How dare someone draw a knife at me and do such disrespectful behavior to me, the world has really changed." These words were more like talking to himself than to Tang gram listened.
"What do you mean by being unfriendly is just complaining?" Tangke released a shadowy force, and this wave swayed in a circle, like invisible ripples, but they were all bounced back by the wall, and Some were swallowed up by mirrors.
"Child, I gave you a chance to leave safely, but you didn't appreciate it. Your greed blinded your eyes, which will bring disaster to you. In your next life, please take my words as your life motto." The surrounding mirrors appeared abnormal, the fluctuations on the surface increased a lot, and the rays of light became more intense, "Let reason rule the mind, and don't let the ** rule the mind."
