Chapter 347: From Before the Blank Era

At the end of the cave, which was brilliantly reflected by the magic moss, Lei Xiao looked at the huge three-masted battleship in front of him, which was the size of a luxury cruise ship, and the surprise on his face was beyond words.

"I thought this vast underground cave was already magical enough, but I didn't expect that there is such a huge monster hidden here."

In amazement, Lei Xiao, who was standing on a flat rocky slope, narrowed his eyes and observed carefully.

At the position where he is currently standing, he is condescending, and he can just have a panoramic view of the entire giant ship.

On top of the pure wooden giant ship, the first thing that catches the eye is the three towering masts located in the front, middle and rear parts of the huge hull.

Each of these three masts is 20 to 30 meters high, especially the middle one, which is extremely thick, and there is a watchtower at the top.

Moreover, above each mast, there are huge black sails stretched out, like huge black curtains hanging quietly in the air.

It is worth noting that these black sails are not only covered with a thick layer of dust.

Moreover, many places have been corroded by the years, and one after another, large and small holes have been cracked.

"It seems that this ship has been anchored here for a long time."

Lei Xiao looked down and continued to observe.

Next, what caught his eyes was the mottled open deck of the giant ship.

Most of the surface on the open-air deck has been covered by magic moss of various colors, exuding a faint light, which makes this ancient giant ship a bit more vicissitudes of life.

On the side of the ship on both sides, you can clearly see a neatly arranged mottled cannon fixed on it, and on the surface of the hull below, there are also dense cannon shooting ports, which obviously shows that this battleship has extremely low firepower. vulgar.

Most striking, however, is the position of the bow on the sharp end of the deck.

There stood a huge copper-colored metal statue with a lion's body and sharp claws, but an eagle's head and wings.

Looking intently, on the eagle beak of this magical creature, there is still a huge broken claw in its mouth, showing an attitude of standing upright.

Although the body of the statue has long been rusted and covered with copper green, it can still be seen vaguely, its mighty and majestic posture back then.

Just when Lei Xiao saw this.

Chaoyan blinked her big eyes, leaned over and said, "My lord, this figure of a griffin ship with a dragon's claw in its mouth really looks very special."

"So that's it, a griffin with a dragon's claw in its mouth?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Through the understanding during this period of time, Lei Xiao clearly understands.

In this world, even though the Griffon is also an extremely ferocious monster.

However, compared with the dragon clan standing at one of the top of the pyramid of strength, it is undoubtedly still far from being an opponent, and it is not at the same energy level at all.

"Use the power of the griffin to fight the dragon? It seems that the owner of this ship has a lot of ideas."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Behind Lei Xiao, the petite Feng Ling looked around on tiptoes, with a surprised expression on his small face, and murmured blankly: "It's so amazing, I didn't expect that there would be a super ship here. Big battleship..."

"The point is this giant ship, why is it parked here?"

Qin Qian, who was stunned for a while, had doubts on her fair face, and then said.

"Yes, you know, the area we are in is a rolling mountain range."

Looking at the mottled giant in front of him, Jiang Hao swallowed unconsciously, and then exclaimed.

"My lord, they are right."

A Ling moved her shocking eyes away from the giant ship exuding an ancient atmosphere, and quickly came to Lei Xiao's side. Dai Mei frowned slightly and said: "The Kingdom of Lengyan is an inland country that does not border the sea. There are only a few inland canals, and they are very far away from here, so it is really unreasonable for a large warship to appear here."

"Yes, my lord, speaking of which, how did this huge ship get in here?"

Chaoyan blinked her big eyes suspiciously, and said with a puzzled face: "From what we saw along the way just now, it is absolutely impossible for such a huge ship to enter here."

"Is it possible that this underground cave has other entrances and exits?"

Qin Qian leaned on her chin with one hand, blinked her slender eyelashes, and said thoughtfully.

"Ye Cang, take a look around."

Waving his hands to signal everyone not to worry, Lei Xiao nodded to the muscular priest beside him.

"Obey! Your lord."

Hearing this, Ye Cang's figure flashed, his magic wings vibrated, and then he turned into a shooting star with a dark golden tail, and disappeared in front of everyone.

A moment later, accompanied by a gust of wind, Ye Cang reappeared in front of Lei Xiao.

Then he bowed and said: "My lord, except for the passage we came here, the three sides here are all solid mountain walls, and there are no other entrances and exits."

"how so?"

Hearing this inexplicable matter, Qin Qian's exquisite face was full of puzzlement, and she asked in surprise: "Then how did this giant ship come here?"

Nodding to Ye Cang, the curious expression on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious.

Just as Qin Qian wondered, it is indeed incomprehensible that a giant ship of this size would appear in the depths of this underground cave.

"I see! Maybe someone used the teleportation technique to directly teleport the entire giant ship in from outside this mountain!"

Chao Yan, still transformed into the image of a girl with freckles, after pondering for a moment, suddenly revealed a look of enlightenment.

"That possibility really cannot be ruled out."

Ye Cang pushed the golden eyes that didn't exist in the eyes of Qin Qian and others, and thoughtfully said: "However, the distance of the teleportation technique is very limited, and there are no large rivers around here, so it is necessary to To achieve this, it is only possible to achieve this unless there is a powerful space-type magic expert who uses teleportation on the giant ship all the way."

"However, it is said that the teleportation technique consumes a lot of mana, let alone teleporting such a huge monster. What is the point of doing so?"

Bai Wei's furry ears covered in the hood twitched, with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Forget it, let's take a look on the boat first, maybe we will find some new clues."

Ning Mei pondered for a while, Lei Xiao shrugged, then nodded to the knotweed.

"My lord, leave it to your subordinates."

Knotweed knew it, and saw his figure flashed, and with lightning speed, he had already landed among a strange rock tens of meters away, and then jumped rapidly until he landed firmly on the hull of the ship .

Immediately afterwards, the energy of Polygonum cuspidatum surged, and it was obvious that it was sensing in all directions.

A moment later, a rough voice came to Lei Xiao's ears: "My lord, my subordinates have checked the entire hull and the surrounding waters, and there is no other aura."

"Okay, then let's go down and have a look."

After speaking, Lei Xiao and the remaining subordinates also showed their special abilities, and quickly jumped onto the hull of the ship, stirring up waves of dust.

Looking at Lei Xiao and the others' elegant movements, Qin Qian and the other four lords opened their eyes wide. While being amazed, they also began to march toward the giant ship.

The first thing Lei Xiao did when he came to the boat was to go straight to a row of cannons tightly fixed on the ship's side, and began to examine them carefully.

I saw these naval guns similar to breech-loading guns. On the mottled surface covered with dust and moss, you can vaguely see that there are strange patterns engraved, and there is a conspicuous groove on the lower side.

Lei Xiao is no stranger to a cannon with this structure, it is a powerful magic cannon!

Overjoyed, Lei Xiao immediately opened the property bar of one of the magic cannons.

[Name: Ancient Magic Cannon "Fire"]

[Grade: Tier 2 Excellent (Green)]

[Attack Magic: Pyroblast MAX]

[Additional effect: Loss of magic power "Less damage reduced by 50%"]

[Remarks: The ancient magic cannon from thousands of years ago, after a long time, due to lack of maintenance, the magic circle engraved on it has lost most of its function, greatly reducing its power. 】

"Good guy, although there are a lot of them, has their power been greatly reduced?"

After closing the interface in front of him, Lei Xiao curled his lips, and casually opened the property bar of another cannon beside him.

[Name: Ancient Magic Cannon "Fire"]

[Grade: Tier 2 Excellent (Green)]

[Attack Magic: Rapid Fireball MAX]

[Additional effect: Loss of magic power "Less damage reduced by 55%"]

[Remarks: This is an ancient magic cannon. The magic circle engraved on it has partially weakened and cannot exert its original power. 】

"Is that really the case?"

After looking around, Lei Xiao frowned tightly.

These magic cannons are all in a state of lack of magic power, and their power has been reduced by about half.

According to past experience, if you upgrade directly, at most you can only restore it to its peak state, or mass-produce the same batch of magic-deficient items.

In this way, the help of these ancient naval guns will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"My lord, it turns out that they are all fire-type magic cannons!"

A crisp voice sounded, and I saw Chaoyan approaching with small steps, and said with a confident expression: "My lord, after being promoted to the fourth level, my subordinates also have the ability to embed magic circles on the magic cannon." Ability.

Although it takes a lot of time to make a brand new one, repairing this fire-type magic cannon that is obviously not in the best condition can greatly reduce the process. Therefore, these magic cannons are all handed over to Come down and fix it! "

"Very good, I will reward you with ten pieces of honey cake when I go back, and you can cash it with Rudy at any time."

Looking at Chaoyan's iconic big eyes, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, showing a hint of thoughtfulness again.

"If that's the case, then I'll upgrade another door after Chaoyan finishes repairing one."

"By the way, in addition to the space bracelet, I also have [Blessed Golden Pupil] and [Dawn Pupil] on my hand. These two storage rings have not been used yet."

"The [Blessed Golden Eyes] has a total space of 50 cubic meters, while [The Eyes of Dawn] has a space of 100 cubic meters. Let's start using the [Pupils of Daybreak] with a larger space."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao first pointed at Qin Qian and others who just jumped onto the boat from a boulder almost parallel to the open-air deck not far away, and nodded, telling the other party to make the assignment afterwards, and then waved his hand casually. It is to put all these magical cannons that have just been subordinated and unfixed by the knotweed and others, and all of them are in the bag.

Qin Qian and the others, who were out of breath, naturally wouldn't have any opinion on this, and quickly nodded along.

These ancient naval guns, which looked very heavy, were almost useless to them, let alone moving them back.

Therefore, it would be better to ask Mr. Sha Chen to change some useful weapons and equipment later.

In this way, on the left and right sides of the ship's side, a total of 20 second-level fire system magic guns were harvested. After repairing, Lei Xiao, who was satisfied, continued to pace on the open-air wooden deck that creaked on it. , while falling into thinking again.

"According to the hints on the properties of the magic cannon, this giant ship seems to have been here for thousands of years, but the deck and sails are still mostly intact. This is quite amazing."

"My lord, since my subordinates have lived in a major seaport town since they were young, they are familiar with this kind of three-masted warship."

Ye Cang pushed the golden eyes again, and bowed gracefully: "As far as I know, this three-masted warship is an extremely ancient style, and it uses a hybrid power of wind and magic power, with low speed and maneuverability. It’s a far cry from the current full magic power.”

"As for the material used, it is also the hundred-year-old magic oak that has been eliminated long ago. Although the hull made of this magic wood has good durability and is not easily corroded by sea water, it has limited resistance to spells. Therefore, the current hull , almost all of them are better elf woods."

Having said that, Ye Cang paused for a moment, and then added: "And this time node for the alternation of new and old warships is exactly the blank era three thousand years ago!"

"So, this ship is really a product of the blank age three thousand years ago?"

Although he had already expected it somewhat in his heart, the surprise on Lei Xiao's face was still beyond words when he heard this.

The mysterious blank era has always been an unsolved mystery lingering in my heart.

Whether it's the ancient ruins of the light elves, the empty ancient battlefield, the recently obtained Eternal Night Magic Box, or what Wang Xi mentioned, the disappearance of the Chosen Son, the gods no longer favor...

Everything is so incredible.

"The more I got to know it, the more I felt that something remarkable, even unbelievable, was likely to have happened in the blank era."

"And this ship is a product from before the blank age, maybe it can help me find some clues."

Gently sniffing the rustic smell emanating from the boat, Lei Xiao took a deep breath, took another step, and started walking towards the figurehead at the bow of the boat.

When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.

Observing closely, this five-meter-tall metal griffin head portrait with dragon claws in its mouth is growing taller and burlier, exuding an inexplicable aura faintly.

"This thing...won't it suddenly come alive?"

Sensing a strange aura, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by Hu Zhang and others, raised his head slightly and continued to observe.

From this position, Lei Xiao could just see the metal griffin's mottled face covered with verdigris.

At this moment, an inexplicable red light suddenly lit up from the metal griffin's godless right eye.

For a moment, the brightness of the light rose rapidly, like a high-power red light bulb, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

Because all this happened in the blink of an eye, under the astonished and vigilant eyes of Lei Xiao and others.

Although this metal griffin didn't really come alive.

However, something even more unbelievable happened.

As the metal griffin's red eyes became brighter, without warning, a strange wave of energy burst out from its eyes.

At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by Hu Zhang and others, noticed it.

The surroundings of the giant metal griffin began to become blurred and unreal.

A thick fog, centered on the metal griffin, began to spread rapidly to the surroundings, covering the entire battleship in the blink of an eye.

Just when Lei Xiao was picked up by the knotweed for a long time, and was about to leave here first.

The surrounding foggy scene has begun to become clear again.

At this time, what appeared in front of everyone was an endless ocean.

I saw that under the bright sunshine, the blue sky stretched as far as the eye can see.

From time to time, groups of white seagulls flew by in the sky, making "coo-coo" calls.

The sound of the waves beating against the hull is mixed with the singing of birds in the sky, and combined with the clear sky above the head, it gives people an inexplicable sense of relaxation and joy.

What surprised Lei Xiao and others even more was that the warship, which was originally mottled, had a completely new look.

Especially the giant griffin statue in front of him, as Lei Xiao expected, shining brightly in the bright sunlight, like a watchman, with a bright and clean bronze metal body emitting a dazzling light.

At some point, translucent figures began to change from unreal to real, and appeared on the open deck one after another. Those who came and went looked busy.

"My lord, it seems that we have fallen into a sudden illusion."

Zhaoyan's crisp voice first rang in Lei Xiao's ears: "If my expectations are correct, there should be an extremely rare illusion crystal inlaid on the head of this ship's figure, and it was this thing just now. glowing red."

"And the effect of this illusion crystal is to record everything that happened on this ship and re-present it before the energy is exhausted."

"Therefore, the illusion we are currently in is just a recorded illusion, and there is no danger."

When Chao Yan said this, Ye Cang who was beside him also nodded, obviously agreeing with her opinion.

"So, is it because of our arrival that this illusion crystal has been reactivated?"

Lei Xiao landed easily from the embrace of the knotweed, and couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression.

"Lord Master, that's exactly the case."

Ye Cang bowed slightly, and responded: "According to my subordinates' guess, although the energy of this illusion crystal should have been exhausted three thousand years ago, in such a long time, perhaps under the influence of the surrounding magic moss, It slowly regained some energy and was finally reactivated by us."

"I see."

After listening to Ye Cang's words, Lei Xiao opened the property bar of that crystal.

It was found that its name and function were exactly the same as those described by Zhao Yan and Ye Cang.

After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a more curious look on his face, and muttered to himself.

"Then, let me take a good look at what happened in the final stage of this battleship."
