I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 323 Total War (12)

"The words are engraved wrong? What do you mean?" After hearing what Edward said, Ellie felt even more strange.

"No, it's nothing. Just on the edge of the tripod, I just saw some engravings.

No matter how I look at it, I can't understand what's engraved on it. Although it's in mainland Chinese and I know every word, I don't understand the meaning at all, and I can't even read it." Edward said and pointed to the giant cauldron.

side of.

Ellie followed the direction Edward pointed and walked to the edge of the giant cauldron, and found that there was indeed a row of words engraved on it.

So she immediately went over and inspected it carefully for a while.

Soon Ellie discovered that just as Edward said, the meaning of those words was completely incomprehensible, and most of the words could not be pronounced correctly.

However, Ellie discovered from some of the bytes that those words were not the mainland language commonly used by humans, let alone the dragon language or the elven language, but should be an unknown language.

It can be roughly inferred that this language is the predecessor of the existing mainland languages.

Strange, what do these mean? I should be able to understand even the priestly writings of ancient humans, dragons, or even ancient elven languages, but this... Ellie thought, and her right hand unconsciously reached for those words.

.

"Be careful, don't touch it casually."

When Edward saw Ellie's actions, he immediately reminded him that touching a giant cauldron that was always burning with flames was no different from holding a hot piece of iron with his hands.

However, Edward's reminder was still a little late, and Ellie's fingertips still touched the cauldron wall. "Wow, it's so hot!"

Ellie, who was burned, immediately retracted her hand, but at that moment, a strange feeling spread throughout her body.

What is this feeling... Ellie suddenly felt a chill slowly creeping into her heart.

"Cover the light of hypocrisy, and truth will emerge in the darkness."

Ellie whispered in a low voice, her tone was very low, as if she was not the one speaking.

"Ellie, what are you talking about? What's light and dark? Can you understand the words above?"

"Ah! Did I say something just now?" Ellie was shocked by Edward's words. In fact, even she herself didn't know why she said those words, as if it was a conditioned reflex.

But after Ellie was startled, her face immediately returned to its original expression.

"Well? It's not what you are saying to cover up the light of hypocrisy, the truth will emerge in the darkness. You can actually understand the words above, you are so strong.

What are those words? What else do they mean?"

Because Edward was standing behind Ellie just now, he did not pay attention to Ellie's expression when she just spoke, and the faint white light emitted by the strange bracelet on Ellie's right hand the moment she touched the words.

"That...well, that is ancient writing, which should be rare on the mainland." Of course, Ellie didn't know what kind of writing it was, so she could only make up a lie to deal with it.

Ellie thought about that sentence carefully for a while, and then looked at the layout of the entire temple.

The internal structure of the entire temple is actually very simple, with exquisitely carved murals on all sides, and the giant cauldron in front of you in the center.

Except for a few pillars supporting the main hall, nothing else exists.

"Hypocritical light, light... yes, it is light. I understand." Ellie suddenly thought of something, and then she immediately condensed the elements. Soon, two blue water elements appeared between her hands.

.

Then, she took a deep breath and instantly shot the water element in her hand to every corner of the temple, targeting the torches on the wall.

Under the pressure of the water element, the torch was quickly extinguished.

Then Ellie will once again gather the remaining power in her hand and send the huge bubble formed into the giant cauldron in the center.

"Ellie, what are you doing?" After seeing Ellie extinguishing the torches in the temple one by one, and also planning to extinguish the pillar of fire in the cauldron, Edward felt more and more confused.

"Just wait and see, Edward. This is the answer." Ellie said slightly proudly.

As soon as Ellie finished speaking, Edward heard a clear "click" sound coming from the ground. Then, the giant cauldron in front of him suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and then the light quickly spread around with the giant cauldron as the center.

opened, and formed a unique magic circle in the temple.

"What on earth is this?" Looking at everything around him, which was beyond his comprehension again and again, Edward felt extremely bored at the moment.

"It's true. This is a teleportation magic circle. With the help of it, we can go to other places." Ellie looked at the type of magic circle again, confirmed the magic fluctuations it emits, and nodded.

"General teleportation magic arrays are only a few meters in diameter at most, but this one is actually so big. I really don't know who has the power to maintain it for so long without losing effect."

"Then you mean that what we are looking for may be at the other end of the magic circle?"

"Maybe, since there is no way out now, why not give it a try." After getting Edward's nod of agreement, Ellie immediately merged her magic power with the magic circle.

Soon, the light of the magic circle became more and more dazzling, and soon the two of them were surrounded by it.

When the dazzling light dissipated again, their shadows were no longer in the center of the magic circle.

As the dazzling white light slowly dispersed, the two finally saw clearly the scene in front of them.

They found themselves in a cave, but this time the cave was larger than the previous one.

What surprised them was that the cave was surrounded by countless torches, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.

Following the torch, they also saw a vague road leading ahead.

"Edward, I just felt a very strong magic wave."

As soon as she stood firm, Ellie's brows immediately frowned.

"What's wrong? Is there something here?" Edward saw Ellie's expression and became nervous.

He knew that as a magician, Ellie could detect danger more easily than he did in some situations, especially when the opponent used magic.

"I don't know, but I can feel that there was a fierce magic battle here not long ago, and the remaining magic waves and elements are everywhere."

"Magical battle?"

"Yes, and it was a fierce battle. Both sides are very strong, probably about the same level as the teacher."

"What?!" After listening to Ellie's words, Edward opened his mouth enough to swallow a whole cow.

[Good guy, on the same level as Merlin, aren't there two great magicians fighting here? 】

[This may not be too exaggerated. What if the vibration caused by the confrontation collapses the cave?] Edward thought as he looked up at the top of the cave worriedly. Fortunately, he did not see any signs of imminent collapse.

"No matter what, let's go take a look in front first. Maybe we will find something." Worry is nothing but worry. Now that people have come in, there is no point in thinking about anything else.

So the two of them walked slowly and cautiously towards the other end of the cave, paying attention to their surroundings all the time.

But until they reached the other side of the cave, nothing too strange happened.

There, a fiery red barrier stretched across the front, blocking the rest of the road.

"It's strange. The magic fluctuations of those two people disappeared here. Didn't they open this barrier?" Ellie carefully sensed the surrounding situation and said doubtfully.

"If not, then don't worry about it so much. Why not enter this barrier and see the situation."

Ellie nodded, and then felt the properties of the barrier in front of her.

Soon, Ellie discovered that the power of the barrier in front of her was not strong, which made her even more curious as to why the two previous magicians who were definitely stronger than herself did not open this barrier.

Are there other agencies here?

But to be cautious, Ellie also used detection magic to carefully detect it and found nothing unusual.

After confirming that there was indeed nothing wrong with the barrier and its surroundings, Ellie quickly injected a stream of wind element into the barrier. Soon the blue wind element, along with the magic elements on the barrier, all dissipated into the air.

"Okay, you can go in. The lock on this barrier doesn't seem to be very strong. It's really strange. Why didn't those two people open this barrier before?"

"The devil knows what's going on. Now that it's over, let's go see what's inside the barrier first."

After Edward finished speaking, he took the Shadow Oath and entered the barrier first.

As soon as he stepped into the barrier, a dazzling light illuminated the inside.

Now Edward could clearly see the scene inside. The inside of the barrier was another cave connected to the outside cave.

This cave is much smaller than the previous ones, but there is a huge altar in the center.

Right above the altar, a crystal floats there, emitting colorful light.

"Yes, that's it." Ellie's meaning was obvious. The fluctuations she felt in the teleportation array in the temple just now were caused by that crystal.

"Really? It seems that that should be what Merlin asked us to find." Edward said as he strode forward, ready to reach out for the crystal.

Just when Edward walked to the altar and tried to pick up the crystal with his sword, he suddenly felt a huge force coming towards him.

Caught off guard, he had to gather all his fighting spirit to resist.

There was only a loud "boom" sound, and Edward's whole body was blasted far away by the force. He didn't stop until he hit the rock wall. Although it didn't cause much damage to him, the impact made Edward's whole body covered with blood.

sore.

Just when Edward had just regained consciousness, an extremely majestic voice slowly sounded.

"Ignorant humans, leave this sacred ancient sealed place immediately. This is not the place you should come."

"Who?" After hearing the voice, Edward hurriedly looked for its owner based on the source of the voice, but the strange thing was that there was nothing in front of him, as if the voice appeared out of thin air.

"I am Saipan, the guardian of the seal. Stupid humans, please leave this sacred place immediately." As the voice sounded again, a vague dragon figure appeared in the center of the altar.

As if in the clouds and fog, the dragon looked quite blurry.

"This is... a soul walker?" Ellie looked at the dragons that appeared in front of her in stunned silence.

"Soul Walker?" It can be seen from Edward's puzzled expression that he is very unfamiliar with this term.

"That's right, that dragon is a soul walker. He gained immortality in his soul at the expense of his body. He can maintain the form of a spirit body." Ellie explained while looking at the dragon nervously.

"Sacrifice your own body... wouldn't that be the same as those undead?" Edward said, looking at his opponent with increasing vigilance. The battle with the immortal Alaba a few months ago still left him with lingering fears.

"No, spiritual bodies are different from those undead.

He has his own thinking and power, but his existence is controlled to a certain extent and he cannot leave a specific area. For example, the dragon in front of us should not be able to leave the barrier here."

"Humans, I repeat for the last time. Leave here immediately. You cannot desecrate the sacred sealed land!" Saipan saw that the two humans in front of him ignored his words and were still discussing the issue of Soul Walkers, which made him feel

Very unhappy.

"Is Soul Walker strong?" Edward completely ignored Saipan's words and continued to learn more about Soul Walker from Ellie.

"This. Remember the book says that soul walkers will retain their original power, that's all."

"You ignorant humans, since you ignored my warning, don't blame me for being rude!" Saipan couldn't bear it anymore, and then shot a white dragon's breath from his mouth and ran towards Edward.

"Don't you know it's rude to interrupt when others are talking?" Edward didn't say anything. He made a horizontal oath of shadow in his hand and poured fighting energy into the sword.

With a loud "boom", Saipan's dragon breath had completely disappeared, while Edward stood unharmed.

"It's just a fourth-level true dragon. There's nothing to be arrogant about. I killed several guys of your level in Gravel Canyon back then." Based on the few confrontations just now, Edward has roughly figured out his opponent's tactics.

Strength, now the whole person is full of confidence.

"Ignorant humans dare to despise the dragons, prepare to be punished." Saipan was completely annoyed by Edward's provocation at this moment. He roared and rushed towards Edward quickly.

However, in Edward's view, not to mention that the Saipan in front of him was only a fourth-level mid-level dragon, not to mention even a sixth-level high-level dragon, he did not take it seriously.

Unless it is a dragon at the Dragon King level like Dariga, it would be difficult for any dragon to compete with him.

Saipan's seemingly swift attack now seemed as slow as a snail in Edward's eyes.

"Ellie, just watch the show and take care of yourself. I can handle that lizard with wings by myself." Edward said and jumped towards Saipan.

Unexpectedly, the inconspicuous human in front of him would dare to be so arrogant in front of him. Saipan once again spit out a blue dragon's breath and shot towards Edward like a suffocating wind.

"To this extent, it's too bad!" I saw a golden light flashing from Edward's Shadow Oath, and a shock wave composed of several Dou Qi directly faced the dragon's breath.

With a "boom", the originally powerful dragon's breath was easily cut open by Edward's fighting spirit.

But that fighting spirit was only reduced to a very small part.
