Chapter 499 Abandoned Settlement

Before entering the trench, the width of the trench is about a hundred meters, and the length cannot be defined. Book... Now that Angel has landed at the bottom, he controls the light technique to circle around, and finds that the width of the bottom that can be seen is still not large, only about 500 meters.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing else except strange native creatures, not even fish.

Angel looked back and forth. The trench was very long and he didn't know which way to go. The ocean current was also a bit chaotic, and he couldn't even feel it without paying attention. Angel stayed still for a moment, and finally followed the weak ocean current and swam in one direction.

The further you swim, the wider the narrow walls on both sides become. Like a trapezoid, Angel was heading from the narrow part to the wider part of the trench.

During this process, Angel encountered mostly plankton, as well as many invertebrates and arthropods, among which shrimps were the most common. They usually hide in the sediments on the seabed and cannot be found at first glance. Only when Angel swims over and the current brings up a large amount of rotten sediments can you see the dense shrimps hidden underneath.

After swimming for about half an hour, Angel found that the oxygen content in the water was getting more and more sufficient.

When Angel saw that the seabed sediments became scarce and became wider and wider, reaching several thousand meters in width, he finally saw the second artificial building after entering the purified sea.

It was a building of unknown use. The material seemed to be stone, and the bottom was a stacked triangle. It looked like its two waists were almost the same, and it was about twenty meters high. At the top of the triangle is a concentric circle, hollow, with two harpoons intersecting.

"It doesn't look like a purpose-built building? Or does it have other symbolic meanings?" Angel swam forward and looked at it carefully.

The triangle below is made of countless gravel piles, and the concentric circles above are made of polished boulders. The harpoon inside is set inside and can be taken out.

Angel took out the harpoon and looked at it. It was very similar to the frogskin's harpoon. They were both mortal objects. The fish bones used as arrowheads are very sharp.

"Weapon rack?" Angel shook his head. Who would be stupid enough to put a weapon rack outside. Even for tribes with primitive civilizations, weapons are the most precious things and must always be carried with them.

Angel couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply dropped it and continued swimming forward.

This trip is another several thousand meters. Angel saw at least ten similar buildings, all with triangles on top of concentric circles, which made him even more confused. ··

"Or is it a tomb? Are these weapons used during life, and used as decorations after death as meritorious deeds?" Angel stopped in front of a strange building again, and directly used magic power to attack it, knocking away the rubble at the bottom.

The inside of the rubble was still rubble, and there were no bones or remains as he imagined.

"It's not a tomb or a weapons rack. Is it a totem pole?" Angel remembered that many primitive tribes had their own totem poles. They hung the heads of enemies or members of their own tribe on the totem poles to intimidate foreign enemies.

While Angel was thinking, he came to the next building.

His eyes lit up when he saw a skull placed on the top of the concentric domes of this building.

This is the skull of an unknown beast. It does not look like a fish, but rather like a reptile on the ground. With this skull, Angel basically confirmed that this building was a totem pole.

However, since it is a totem pole and has been hung with skulls to intimidate foreign enemies, Angel ponders another question... What are the foreign enemies they intimidate?

If this building was made by a frogskin, based on the strength of the previous frogskin, it shouldn't be a threat to those arthropods and invertebrate creatures in the trench, right?

To intimidate the owner of this skull? Or is there a more dangerous foreign enemy in the deep sea?

Angel came to a transparent cover with doubts. This cover reacted with energy and could vaguely see some of the environment inside. For example, there was no sediment on the ground, which was obviously the result of someone cleaning it.

Angel stretched out his hand and penetrated the cover directly.

When he entered the hood, he found that there was no moisture inside and was filled with rich oxygen. Based on various signs, Angel was certain that there should have been some kind of intelligent life staying here.

But he didn't see any light.

Turning on the boundless silence, Angel walked inside. After a while, he saw a dozen houses made of rubble. At the same time, he also saw the end of the light shield.

The light shield didn't look big, but it enveloped these dozen or so houses. Moreover, almost half of these houses were broken, and they looked like abandoned settlements at first glance. However, it shouldn’t have been a long time since it was broken. Judging from the traces, it should have been within the past two years.

Angel surrounded the house with his spiritual tentacles. As he guessed, there was no living creature in the house.

Through the spiritual tentacles, Angel could see the conditions inside some houses, which were empty and decorated with some shells and corals.

Angel walked directly to the house in the middle.

This is a dome house covering an area of ​​about ten meters. It is smaller than the frogskin fortress he discovered earlier, but it is the largest room in the entire abandoned settlement and the least damaged room.

Angel gently opened the door, and immediately several sharp arrows shot out from the door.

He turned his head to avoid the blow. Angel looked inside and saw that the empty room was useful for arrows because there was a trigger-type mechanism at the top.

As soon as he stepped inside, Angel's ears suddenly twitched, and he turned his head sharply and looked out the door.

It was pitch black.

"Something is wrong." Angel frowned. Just as he entered the house, he heard a voice coming from behind.

He walked out and controlled the light magic to move constantly, but the illumination range of the light magic was too small, and he did not see any suspicious creatures.

"Is it an illusion?" Suspicion in this narrow deep-sea trench, so it caused an illusion?

Regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, Angel still tightened the string in his heart.

Walking back into the dome house, Angel did not see anything useful in this room, but he saw a familiar mermaid totem in the pattern on the roof... So, this should be the settlement of the frog-skin monster, but it was abandoned.

Angel also found a metal long weapon engraved with exquisite patterns. Judging from this weapon, the frog-skin monster should have mastered the smelting technology. But there is no place for smelting here, that is to say, this settlement is not actually the main base of the frog-skin monster.

Moreover, he also saw some fabrics made of special materials, which obviously could not appear in the barren trench.

While Angel was thinking, his ears moved again, and he heard the sound again.

He immediately jumped out of the house and observed the surrounding environment, but still did not see anything strange. No, it was not that there was no strangeness, but in the absolute darkness, it was not easy for him to find the strangeness.

Angel circled the settlement and found nothing, so he planned to leave. Continue to look down the trench to see if there are any more frog-skinned monster settlements.

However, just as Angel was about to cross the light shield, two green lights suddenly lit up silently behind him, and without any sound, they swam towards Angel quietly.

Angel paused, and when the attack behind him was about to come, he stepped on the ground and flipped over, landing behind the attacker.

The other party was obviously surprised. It was obviously silent, so why was it discovered.

Angel threw a fear spell over, and the other party swayed and began to tremble all over. Angel shone the light spell over and saw the attacker clearly.

This is a strange reptile with a long beak and teeth, about five or six meters long. Its head looks like a crocodile or a lizard, but its body is a streamlined marine creature. Its two pairs of fins are like cattail leaves, larger than its slender body.

Moreover, it is still flying in the air.

When Angel was observing it, suddenly, a red light appeared in its green eyes.

Angel's pupils shrank: "Oops, the fear spell is exempted!"

It is true that the fear spell can evoke the most fearful things in the heart. Even if someone is mature and thoughtful and sees through the illusion, it is difficult to exempt it. Only enemies who are too stupid and go crazy when they are angered are most likely to exempt the fear spell.

Obviously, this unknown creature belongs to the latter.

Its eyes are red and it has gone crazy.

A loud roar, with a strong energy shock, made Angel a little dizzy for a while, and then he was pushed to the chest and abdomen, and a hole was torn.

The taste of blood stimulated the opponent to be even more crazy. Its close combat strength is estimated to reach the peak of level 2. Under the crazy attack, Angel's physical disadvantage is revealed here. Facing such a close combat opponent with extremely fast speed and attack frequency that makes it impossible for people to release illusions, he can easily fall into a passive position.

Angel can only dodge the opponent's attack by rolling subconsciously.

After dodging two or three times in a row, the opponent's speed was unstable and rushed out of the cover. Angel finally got a little space, took out the Yingvelvet potion from the bracelet, and drank it in one gulp. At the same time, Angel finally had the opportunity to recite the secret soul muttering.

The water light of the cover reflected a faint red light.

The reason why Angel was able to discover this strange creature before was that he saw a little bit of faint green light behind him by the reflection of the cover. Now, he once again used the reflection of the cover to judge the opponent's position.

The opponent is elusive, but after all, he is not very wise.

After Angel's soul left his body, his speed was much faster than the other party. Angel dodged several times and came to the blind spot of the other party's vision. When the other party turned his head to bite, a gravity cannon hit the open mouth fiercely.

There was a loud bang.

The gravity cannon penetrated into its body, and its body exploded from the inside, turning into pieces of flesh and blood, flying down.

Angel also breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to check the body of this monster, the ground suddenly shook, and a huge buzzing sound came from the other end of the trench.

Angel looked at the source of the sound, but could not see anything.

He only saw endless water, surging and coming in the opposite direction.
