Chapter 3253 Deep in the Ruins
"Wow..."
Looking at the fortress in front of them, Meng'er and the others couldn't help but exclaim.
The fort in front of me was built on the top of the mountain. Generally speaking, this is not a good place to build a fortress. But this ruin is not so much a fortress, but more like an observatory in the modern world. It should have been semicircular, similar to an opera house, but now there are only large ruins left here , the only thing to say is that when you look up at the sky, your vision will be wider.
This place was discovered by Ellie after the battle last night. From the geographical point of view, she did not understand what this thing was built for, because the location of this fortress is obviously very strange, as said before, It is neither a natural fortress nor a transportation hub extending in all directions, but more like an observatory dedicated to observing astrology.
Although it is not very far from the border city, it looks like no one has been here, maybe because of the terrain here. After all, this strange fortress is located on the top of the mountain. Less than that of the ruins on top of the hill.
"It looks so beautiful here...Meng'er really likes this place..."
Meng'er's voice was still so leisurely and cheerful, while Ellie nodded with a smile, and then she looked around.
"I didn't find any monsters here. We'll just stay here tonight. I'll start repairing this place tomorrow. By then, I'll ask you to clean it up."
"Well, no problem, leave it to Meng'er."
Meng'er nodded, and the two girls beside her did not object.
Just when Ellie was about to find a place to shelter from the wind, Nana suddenly ran over from the other side.
"Hey, I found a strange thing here?"
"Oh?"
Hearing Nana's words, Ellie frowned, then walked to Nana's side, and then she saw Lala, Mengmeng and others gathered around a hole, looking around.
"What's wrong?"
"I asked it just now, is there any place to shelter from the rain near here?"
While speaking, Nana petted a strange animal beside her. It looked like a plucked hedgehog, which was considered a local wild species. At the moment, she is lying obediently at Nana's feet. Ellie is not very surprised about this. After all, Nana has the ability to communicate with animals, and it is normal to be able to talk to animals in this world.
"Then, it told us there was a strange place here, but it didn't dare to go down because it was dangerous down there."
"Danger?"
Ellie walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down, only then did she understand why other people stayed here, because this was not strictly a cave entrance, but a downward staircase. It extends all the way down, and at the end of the stairs is a sealed stone door.
"Is there some gold and silver treasure behind this?"
Lala's eyes are also shining at this moment --- seeing her like this, Ellie knows that the countdown to Erha's house demolition is about to begin.
"let me see."
While speaking, Ellie walked to the door, and then she stretched out her hand and pushed the door—it must not be pushed open, not only that, but she also felt a strange force blocking the door door. Obviously, this should be a seal.
Thinking of this, Ellie raised her magic wand, and tapped lightly on the door—then a dazzling blue light flashed, and then, the stone door made a "rumbling" sound, and slowly moved towards the two sides Open.
"Oh oh oh oh!!"
Seeing this scene, the other girls screamed with emotion. However, after the stone door was opened, it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen. Ellie stretched out her hand, picked up the magic wand and shook it in the air, and soon, a ball of light appeared, illuminating the space in front of her eyes.
This is a cave.
A pitch-black cave stretches forward, under the dim light, there is nothing but floating dust here. The entire passage spreads downwards, as if it goes deep into the inner depths of the mountain. Some stone steps can be seen vaguely. But these steps have already been buried by soil.
"What's in it? There must be treasure, right??"
Lala jumped up and down behind Ellie, if it wasn't for Nana and Mengmeng grabbing her, she might have really had fun and ran in.
"Treasure...I think this place is more like a tomb."
Ellie frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
"Huh? Really?"
"Well, generally speaking, tombs are buried underground. Now this place looks more like a mausoleum, doesn't it?"
"Uh……………"
Hearing this, Nana turned pale, and Xiao An also frowned.
"Yes, there's a bad feeling in there."
"I'll go in and have a look."
Ellie thought for a moment, then made a decision, she turned her head and looked at the others.
"The situation inside may be very complicated. I will go in and have a look. You should stay outside and rest first."
"Is that okay? Do you want us to go with you?"
"There is a magic barrier here. You don't seem to understand the working principle of magic. Although it seems that you all have strange powers, you should know nothing about magic. In this case, rashly put you I'm afraid bringing it in will only hinder me, if it's just me, it's much easier to fight and run."
"Hmm... this..."
Hearing this, the girls looked at each other. Indeed, as Ellie said, although they are the princesses of Deberoke and the nanomechanical biochemicals, they all have strange powers, but magic is really beyond them. able to cope.
"I see."
As the cosmic killer with the most combat experience among them, Xiao An quickly gave an answer.
"We'll wait for you here until morning, and if you don't come back by morning, then we'll go find you."
"OK."
After the simple explanation between the two parties, Ellie ignored Lala's eyes of "I want to go together" and walked into the tunnel.
The entire tunnel is very long, and it feels like it is unfolding downwards in a circle. Ellie holds a magic wand, sits on a broom and quickly shuttles through it. At first, she thought it was a mausoleum. But now Ellie feels that her guess is not right, because if it is a tomb, there should be various decorations, or there should be some deeds about the owner of the tomb left on the wall. But there is nothing here, a clean blank.
No, it's not blank either.
The tunnel in front of me seemed to have finally come to an end, Ellie flew out of it on a broomstick, and then...
"What the hell is this......"
Seeing the scene in front of her, Ellie's eyes widened in surprise.
I saw that under her body was an extremely huge hollow, which looked as if the entire mountain had been hollowed out, and in this huge hollow, the strips looked extremely dangerous, at most they could only The stone bridges that can accommodate two people walking side by side are interlaced and connect the passages around the cave wall.
In other words, if normal people walk in, they need to walk across this unsupported stone bridge that looks like it will collapse at any time, and they can't even turn around, and then come to the opposite passage, and then pass through the opposite passage. Passage Find a way to continue down...
"Wow... this is too unfriendly to Lu Chi."
Just looking at the passages extending in all directions, Ellie couldn't help scratching her head, thanks to the fact that she can still fly, otherwise she would be exhausted walking this thing.
Thinking of this, Ellie also sat on the broom, lowered the height directly, and headed towards the bottom of the cave.
But obviously this is not a simple matter.
"Wow!!!!"
Just as Ellie was descending, she seemed to be alarmed by some kind of existence, and there was a crashing sound like a tide in all directions, and then Ellie saw a large dark cloud coming out of the cave and rushing towards herself Come over—it was a bat the size of a falcon with sharp teeth.
"Wow... this place is too inhuman..."
Casting a shield to wrap herself up, Ellie couldn't help feeling emotional as she watched the bats crazily pounced on her. Obviously, if ordinary adventurers come here, they will also be attacked by bats. At that time, they will either be besieged by bats and die, or their feet will slip and fall to their deaths——MMP, this reminds Ellie of the time when she was in the world of Dark Souls. When I moved, those bastard knights were still waving their big swords to kill themselves. At that time, Fang Zheng subconsciously rolled and dodged the attack, and then his feet were empty...
Then open your eyes again and there is a bonfire.
Fortunately, I don't have to suffer this crime now.
"Death cloud technique."
Ellie waved her wand lightly, and soon, a dark green cloud appeared out of thin air, covering the surrounding area. Immediately afterwards, the bats shrouded in clouds and mist were seen falling one after another, and it didn't take long for all the bats left to be wiped out. Ellie then continued to descend.
But soon, she realized that something was wrong.
"How deep is it here?"
The hill where the ruins are located is not too high, not to mention that Ellie landed vertically. At this speed, it should take three to five minutes to reach the bottom. However, the fact is that half an hour has passed, and there is still darkness below. Ellie once wondered if this is some kind of space seal or something, but she checked it with magic, and found that it is not the case, it is simply... ...it's just deep.
So what's down here?
Now Ellie is getting more and more curious about this. Whether this hole is man-made or naturally formed, it is obviously to hide something, otherwise it would not have built such a gate on it, and set up such a hole. Many agencies. In fact, along the way, Ellie also discovered a large number of monsters, their number and strength far surpassed the goblins and orcs outside.
It can be said that if all the monsters here are released, the nearby fortress city will be killed within half an hour. However, they all stay here, like a self-contained underground ecosystem.
Maybe Nana should be brought here, at least she can talk to animals, so it shouldn't matter even if the other party is a monster. Maybe if she talks to the magician here, she will learn something about this place.
"Oooo!!!"
A huge monster that looked like a rhinoceros in a crab shell spewed flames and rushed towards Ellie. For this, Ellie just raised her magic wand and moved forward. Soon, a green beam shot out directly. Put it on the ground.
"The deeper you go, the more monsters there are. It's really a headache..."
Ellie sighed, and then glanced around. This is the first time she has encountered a monster, and the more she goes down, the more powerful she is. Although it is a one-shot kill for Ellie, she is getting more and more powerful now. I am more and more curious about what secrets are hidden in it.
Could it be that the one sealed below is a giant dragon?
After all, this is also a fantasy world, so it's not surprising that there is a dragon, isn't it?
"Ok?"
Walking out of the passage again, Ellie stopped because she found a very strange wide space at the end of the path. And in the very center of this space, there is a quite solemnly decorated door, and there are a pair of statues of Cyclops on both sides of this door.
"Finally, I saw something decent. I thought this was some kind of Warcraft Zoo."
Seeing this, Ellie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had gained nothing along the way, and she was too weak to kill monsters. Now she finally found something, and it was not a waste of time.
While thinking, Ellie came to the door, then reached out and knocked lightly on the door.
"Oh oh oh oh!!"
However, at this moment, suddenly, a red light beam flashed, and then, the stone-like cyclops on both sides gradually began to change, as if they were guards guarding the tomb that often appear in tomb robbery movies. They roared Standing up from the stone wall, she opened her hands to the intruder—then saw Ellie wave her magic wand at the two Cyclops, and the next moment they seemed to be run through a red light at a crossroads The big truck hit head-on and flew out, hitting the stone wall on the other side and turning into a pile of meat sauce.
"Okay, now let me see what's in here."
As Ellie spoke, she stretched out her hand and pushed open the stone door again—this time, the heavy stone door didn't respond anymore, and the girl just pushed it away forcefully.
Then Ellie just walked in.
Just like the clips in the Tomb Raider movie, after Ellie entered the stone gate, the originally dark space lit up instantly as if a sensor light was installed, illuminating the dark space brightly.
And after seeing the situation inside clearly, Ellie couldn't help but whistled.
"I didn't expect that there really is a baby..."
There was only one person in front of Ellie.
Strictly speaking, it is a young girl buried in the cube. She has long golden hair and bright red eyes. Her hands and most of her body are buried in the cube as if they were poured into cement—well, On another occasion, this is the classic scene of murder and burial in Tokyo Bay.
Perhaps aware of Ellie's presence, the blond girl slowly raised her head and stared at Ellie.
"Please...help me..."
Then, the blond girl pleaded like that.
