Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 68: The Lost Continent
Even Xiu Yi didn't expect that on the road to find the unknown power, they would go for three days.
During these three days, they trekked hard all the way, and everywhere there was nothing but wilderness, nothing but bones. Not a single living creature can be seen, it is a completely dead world. Although that unknown force guided Xiu Yi forward, it existed like a mirage, and he couldn't get close to it no matter how he walked.
What surprised Xiuyi was that in a world like this, since there were no plants, there should also be no air. But in this land, everything still exists, even magic can be used normally.
The good news is that Carmela's injury has improved significantly in the past seven days. This woman is a samurai in her own right, with good health, and if she meets an alchemist like Xiu Yi again, it will be hard for her to get better soon. During this period of time, everyone has been in contact with each other for a long time, and gradually became familiar with each other.
Harry and the others knew something about Xiu Yi, and felt sorry for what happened to him.
Of course, being able to escape from such an island of death and then push a huge empire to such an extent, they also greatly admire Xiu Yi's ability. Udic admired his mentor even more, and his eyes were always full of admiration when he looked at Xiuyi.
Today they were walking, and Udyk suddenly shouted: "Look, mentor!"
Following Udic's direction, shadows of a large number of buildings appeared on the land in the distance.
This surprised everyone.
Xiu Yi didn't hesitate any longer, the angel's wings stretched out from behind, and he flew into the air and shouted: "I'll go over to have a look first, and you guys will follow."
The black warrior was the first to react, holding Xu and running quickly below, like a black lightning.
Harry and Carmela looked at each other, and Harry shook his head: "I hate this."
"Stop talking nonsense and run."
This distance is not short, and it took me a long time to finally arrive. As the distance approached, Harry and the others finally saw clearly what kind of existence was in front of them.
Here is a ruin.
There are broken fields and broken walls everywhere, and the collapsed houses still maintain their original appearance after thousands of years. On the desolate land, there are many gravels, and there is no trace of human habitation.
"Let me just say, how could anyone survive here." Harry muttered.
"Where's Huey?"
"Over there." Udyk shouted, pointing ahead.
Xiu Yi was standing in front of a collapsed building at the moment.
Walking on this piece of rubble, Xiuyi frowned deeply.
"Hey Huey, what have you found?" Harry yelled.
"This place used to be a city." Xiu Yi replied without looking back.
"It should be a very ancient existence." Harry thought of the ancient teleportation circle that Xiuyi said.
"But it is also a powerful and wealthy existence." Xiuyi took out a scorched black stone from the rubble: "Look, this is the result of being eroded by magic power. I just checked it. It is obsidian, a white stone like jade. It is very hard and has strong resistance to fire and physical damage. It can also be used as an alchemy material. I have a golem making process, which is made of stone. If this kind of obsidian is used as the basic material, the effect will be better. Temples are very charming and difficult to destroy. They are very difficult to mine, and they are not easy to process. Even now, the buildings made of them represent a symbol of wealth and strength. Can you imagine people using them to make residential houses?"
Before Harry and the others came, he had inspected the entire ruins. It is no exaggeration to say that this former city is very large, and its area is definitely not smaller than Winnington. Some relatively low buildings did not collapse, perhaps because they were not corroded by insects and ants and rainwater, they were still standing after thousands of years. This gave Xiu Yi a chance to study the other party, and then he found that such buildings made of obsidian were everywhere.
"There used to be a powerful civilization on this land, and their strength was even stronger than ours now."
This is the conclusion Huey came to.
"But...the stone is black." Harry said stupidly.
"That's because it was attacked by a powerful dark spell." Xiu Yi replied lightly: "There is a more powerful force that destroyed everything here and turned the entire land into a barren land, and then I don't know how to hide it, so that future generations will never be able to discover its existence."
Everyone's hearts were heavy at the same time.
It looks like they've intruded into a hidden civilization that's been mortally wounded.
"I have never heard of such a civilization in history." Udyk said: "There is no such record in history."
"Maybe it's not nothing." Xiu Yi said suddenly.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked at the same time.
Xiu Yi has looked up at the sky.
"Look at the sky," he said.
"What's in the sky?" Harry was a little confused.
"Where is the sun? Why is there no sun in the sky?" Huey asked.
Everyone looked up in amazement.
They have been walking in the wilderness these days, and they have wondered why the sun and the moon cannot be seen in the sky. The final conclusion is that they are covered by heavy dark clouds. It is obvious that there is powerful magic power in the sky, so Xiu Yi did not dare to explore it lightly, but now that Xiu Yi suddenly said this, he obviously meant something.
"What are you trying to tell us?" Carmela asked.
Huey didn't answer.
A hurricane rose from the wings behind him, and he flew into the air, shooting straight into the sky like a sharp arrow.
Xiuyi never imagined that one day he would have such an arrogant idea, to challenge the limit of his ability, to measure the height of this day, but at this moment, he really did so.
He kept flying towards the sky, sprinting desperately to the highest point, as if he wanted to fly all the way to the sun, as if he wanted to find the end of the day.
He soon saw the end.
On the top of the high sky, there is a sea of blue...
"Oh my god, I know where we are now." Xiu Yi let out a helpless sigh as she stood in the void.
The Western Continent, the legendary Western Continent that sank under the sea.
Xiuyi never dreamed that they would pass through a teleportation circle in the Land of Divine Grace and come to the land of the West Continent in the underwater world.
——————————————————————
When Xiu Yi was on Purgatory Island, he had seen the history of Guanxi Continent.
Legend has it that the Fengming Continent originally had four continents, and the most civilized one was the Western Continent. It is said that it is the birthplace of civilization and the concentration area of all top powers. The development of civilization in the east, south, and north continents was almost all influenced by the west continent.
No one knows when the Western Continent suddenly disappeared.
Overnight, an entire continent disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Since then, there are only three continental plates left in the Fengming Continent, and the development of civilization has been greatly impacted by this, and it can even be said to be set back a thousand years.
There have also been people who tried to find the disappeared continent. They believed that there was countless wealth and high-end civilization there, and as long as they found it, they could make a fortune.
But no one has ever succeeded.
Until today, after following in the footsteps of a golden rhinoceros, Xiuyi and the others finally entered the legendary Western Continent, but this place has turned into a desolate barren land and a cemetery for monsters.
When Xiu Yi saw the blue ocean and sky on the top of the sky, he finally realized that they had come to the Western Continent under the sea.
This news shocked Harry Carmela and others.
"So, the land sinking in the Western Continent is not a natural phenomenon, but the result of being destroyed by some powerful force?" Harry asked.
"I don't know." Xiu Yi shook his head: "But since this is the Western Continent, there will never be only one city. Let's keep going, maybe we will find more."
With this awareness, Xiu Yi and the others quickly noticed many strange places during the march.
Those strange ravines used to be rivers, and the land of bones piled up like mountains was actually a jungle. This land was once prosperous and lush, inhabited by countless people and monsters, and the level of civilization they possessed was far beyond people's imagination.
Along the way, Xiuyi and the others discovered many cities one after another.
Everywhere is in ruins.
On these ruins, Xiuyi and the others could even see intense fighting scenes. It's a pity that after a thousand years, there are almost no valuable clues left for them to discover.
But even so, Xiuyi and the others noticed something unusual.
There are some scattered weapons, although they are no longer usable due to the erosion of time, but Xiuyi can still feel the powerful power remaining on them. Judging from the traces of some destroyed buildings, it should be a powerful race that destroyed this civilization.
They are tall, mighty, fierce and brutal.
Xiu Yi and the others found that besides human bones in the ruins, the most common one was a kind of super-large bones, about three meters long. Obviously, all of them were giant-like existences before they were alive. Most of these bones died in battles with humans, and many of them were besieged to death by humans.
It can be seen that these bones are the culprits of the catastrophe in the Western Continent.
It's just that Harry and the others can't figure out what these bones belong to. It seems that there is no such thing in Fengming Continent.
On the contrary, it was Xiu Yi, and a hazy image appeared in his mind.
He remembered what the Scourge Church had said to him.
Could it be that the demon world invaded?
Could it be that the demon world invaded this world thousands of years ago, and directly led to the demise of a civilization?
But if so, why didn't they invade other continents? Why did the western continent eventually sink to the bottom of the sea? Why is this continent still intact up to now? Why can sea water be the sky that covers this world?
Xiu Yi didn't have any of these answers, and he could only place his hope on the unknown magical power that guided him along the way.
The good news is that Xiu Yi has become more and more aware of that power these days, which shows that they are already very close to their goal.
The bad news is that they are running out of food.
Eating is a big problem here due to the absence of life. Xiuyi's interspatial ring originally contained a large amount of food, which he brought when he went to the jungle to practice, and stored a large amount of dried meat, bread made of wheat flour and other food. After meeting Harry and the others, Xiuyi had been picnicking with everyone, and the food was saved and came in handy during this time. But no matter how much these foods are, they cannot withstand the consumption of six people. The black warrior basically doesn't eat, but he still needs to drink water. Xu doesn't drink much water, but his appetite is the best. In his words, I am still in the stage of growing my body.
Xiu Yi estimated that the remaining food would last for another three days at most, but the water could only last for one day.
To reach the destination, this time is probably far from enough.
Harry et al. have apparently also realized this problem.
Today, Harry finally brought it up.
"Xiu Yi, it's not okay to go on like this."
"how?"
"It's us who dragged you down. If you didn't have us, with your wings, your speed could be a hundred times faster than it is now."
"Don't worry, I can feel that we are getting closer and closer to it."
"That's not enough." Harry shook his head: "The Western Continent is a continent, not a small region. Even if we walk for a year, we may not be able to find what you are looking for..." Harry's face was very serious, and he said every word: "You can't take us on the road again."
"you mean……"
"Get us out of here."
Huey looked at Carmela, and Carmela said: "I think Harry is right. We are here to drag you down and not help you. Thank you very much, Huey, you have done a lot for us, and you are a trustworthy friend. Send us away, we will wait for you in the canyon. We will wait for you there, waiting for you to come back."
"How about you, Udic?"
Udyk lowered his head and replied: "I really want to be with you, mentor, but Harry is right, we are dragging you down here. I am willing to wait for you in the canyon with Carmela and the others."
Xiuyi thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I will set up the teleportation circle now, and you will return to the magic circle point before entering, and wait for me there. Udyk, help me take care of them."
"Yes tutor."
Xiu Yi then arranged the teleportation circle. The small teleportation circle is much simpler, and the one-time magic circle consumes less materials. With the ancient teleportation array in the canyon as a fixed point, Xiu Yi didn't have to worry about sending them to other places.
After leaving all the food and water to Xiu Yi, Harry Gunns, Carmela, and Udyk left here with the teleportation array, and only Xiu Yi, Xu and the black warrior were left in the entire open wilderness.
The wings on the back spread out, Xiu Yi hugged Xu and flew to the sky, spreading his wings and flying in the air. The black warrior locked on Xiu Yi in the sky and ran wildly on the ground. With his grudge energy, he can continue running at such a high speed for a long enough time.
Without the burden of Harry and others, Xiu Yi's speed was indeed a hundred times faster than before.
After flying for two days in a row, with the increase of speed and the rapid approach of distance, Xiu Yi's feeling of that power has become so clear that it seems to be by his side.
This force was so huge that the closer Xiu Yi flew, the more shocking he felt.
That is by no means a power that humans can possess.
That night, Huey discovered the source of the power he had been looking for for a long time.
It was a tall mountain, towering over the earth like a giant pillar of the sky.
On the top of the mountain stands a tall and magnificent temple. From the foot of the mountain to the temple, there are tens of thousands of steps, all of which are paved with obsidian.
The whole temple is a triangular building, with a huge altar enshrined in the middle, surrounded by strange totems.
The layout of the entire temple has formed a unique specification, forming a magical array-like existence. A large amount of magical energy dissipated from here, even supporting the entire sky.
It is these energies that allow the continents to survive on the seabed to this day.
In Xiu Yi's memory, there is such a record about the history of the Western Continent.
The Western Continent, with its heyday of civilization, was once the center of the world. The center of the Western Continent is in the Holy Mountain of Michael.
Xiu Yi believes that he is now located in the Holy Mountain of Michael, which is the most glorious place in the Western Continent and the birthplace of religious civilization.
The top of the holy mountain should be the glorious temple built by the people of the Western Continent. It was called the lost temple in later generations.
Out of respect for civilization, Xiuyi folded her wings and walked towards the lost temple step by step from the steps.
Xiuyi can fully imagine that during the heyday of civilization in the Western Continent, there might be tens of thousands of people walking on this ladder every day and worshiping the temple. Priests wear white robes and hold dharma sticks, representing the gods to accept the worship of the people.
They have supreme power and majesty, ruling the land like emperors until the end comes.
A civilization is gone.
What made such a great civilization disappear in the long river of history?
