Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun didn't expect that the ancient ruins of the Cursed Valley would be involved in the ancient secrets suspected of the collapse of the Dawn Era.

If this is really the "burial place of gods" that Mr. Jing said, the danger is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is really interested to see it. In his eyes, the world is getting more and more exciting.

Without much delay, Su Lun and Uta climbed up the 100-meter-high broken wall, and immediately caught the outline of the giant tree in their eyes.

Because of the vision shared by the black crow, Su Lun had seen it before, but his expression was normal.

But Yuta was stunned, and muttered to himself: "This is really [Buying God]!"

The canopy covers the sky and the sun, like a huge island in the sky.

The sun shines down from the top, creating a dreamlike scene.

I don't know where the water comes from, but there is actually a white water waterfall hanging on the giant tree. The water of the waterfall falls for a thousand meters, and the rumbling sound of the water can be heard from a long distance. The light casts a color rainbow under the waterfall, like a ribbon.

Su Lun looked at the flying creatures that occasionally passed by the canopy, his gaze slightly trembling.

That's not a "bird", but a monster with distorted flesh wings as huge as an airplane.

Looking at the big tree, Su Lun had an inexplicable feeling in his heart: the giant tree is at least five hundred years old, and it has obviously formed its own ecological circle. Is it possible that there are some very terrifying monsters hidden under the strong necromantic energy all the year round?

But his thoughts were still spinning, and the fog drifted over again, his transparent vision was blocked, and the fog in front of him became hazy again.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look."

Su Lun greeted.

Yuta nodded too.

The two jumped off the city wall.

The giant tree in front of them looks like a big mountain. They are now on the south side of the tree, while the Luying Royal Legion is on the north side.

Although [Buying God] is a divine technique, it is naturally not so easy to be broken by others. Su Lun intends to go and see how far those guys have been discovered.

The two crossed the city wall, and the terrain had a slight slope. It looked like dirt ground, but it had entered the coverage of the roots of the giant tree.

Here, ruined walls can be seen everywhere, and they are all huge.

Su Lun roughly estimated the proportion of the building, and guessed that the average height of the "aboriginal people" who used to live here should be more than five meters.

Compared with the current ice giants, the average is much higher.

Because of the [Human Face Rotten] attack, Su Lun became very careful, scanning almost everything with the Eye of Omniscience.

Neither of them was in any danger.

But as he was walking, Su Lun suddenly stopped.

He watched Uta's eyes slightly different after he got off the city wall, as if he was distracted from time to time.

Su Lun thought that she was affected by the more intense necromancy, and was unknowingly polluted, so she asked, "Youta, did you find anything wrong?"

Uta glanced at him, knew what Su Lun would ask again, and shook his head.

"I'm fine. Instead, I feel a lot better than before."

She seemed to understand the feeling again, hesitated for a moment, and then said in an uncertain tone: "It seems that I have walked into the range of this giant tree, and it is like being blessed by the ancestors of the clan, and those negative effects are getting weaker and weaker."

"Still getting weaker?"

When Su Lun heard this, he found that he didn't feel this way.

Thinking that this giant tree was transformed by the ancestors of the Dalu tribe, he also felt that what Uta said seemed reasonable.

Out of prudent consideration, Su Lun checked Uta's status carefully again, and confirmed that it was really better than before, so he didn't worry too much.

The two continued to go deeper, and found more and more scattered buildings among the roots.

Among the mud and grass, there are also some huge rusted weapons, such as axes, shields, helmets, armors, etc., but most of them are corroded and out of shape.

Su Lun also collected some precious metals that could be refined and reused.

Land reclamation is indeed a good harvest.

This way, the metal fragments alone are probably worth several million lisuo.

The two of them planned to bypass the roots of the giant tree and head north to see what the Luying Holy Judgment Legion was doing.

But on the way, a relatively complete building caused the two of them to stop.

"Mr. Su Lun, look over there!"

Uta saw and found the stone pillar hidden in the tangled vines.

Then, when they got closer, they realized that there were many huge stone pillars of twenty or thirty meters there. There are also domes with obvious styles in the ruins. It doesn't look like a private house, but a building like a temple.

Su Lun and the others happened to pass by, so they took a closer look.

The entrance was covered with vines, and Uta nimbly got in first with the magic lamp, followed by Su Lun.

The space inside is quite small, but because of the entanglement of tree roots, there is no light all year round, so the hall is cold and humid.

Su Lun sensed that there were some not too strong soul fires hidden in the dark corners. Looking at the shadows that occasionally pass quickly in the dark, they seem to be lizard-like deformed monsters, a small group of about twenty or thirty.

The monster didn't come to cause trouble, and Su Lun didn't plan to clean it up.

Part of the main hall collapsed, and the rest was about the size of a football field, and the magic light source could illuminate most of it.

Su Lun also saw several mutilated statues.

As he had guessed, most of these statues were crude horned helmets and weapons, exposing the muscular upper body. It should be the image of those giants back then.

He was studying the statue, but at this time, Yuta beside him found something, and whispered: "Mr. Su Lun, there are reliefs here!"

"Relief?"

Su Lun also looked in the direction Uta pointed, and saw a few large stone slabs with textures beside the black pool in the collapsed corner.

He wanted to find some written records along the way to see what was going on in the ruins of the giant city.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find it.

He also guessed that the ancient giant civilization in this city may be similar to the current situation of the ice giants, without their own writing.

Now that there is a relief, Su Lun is also looking forward to it. He is proficient in archaeology, and he naturally knows that some ancient civilizations may not have writing, but reliefs are an important means of remembering things.

The two walked over, and Su Lun looked at the content on the relief.

Indeed, as he expected, this is the relief sculpture used to record events in this giant city.

Due to hundreds of years of humidity, the relief has been severely corroded, and many places are blurred.

The reliefs are scattered everywhere, but Su Lun's current brain development speed is very efficient in processing these scattered information. Even if you can't read it all, you can guess the general content.

He saw that it was a recorded accident of some strong giants beheading monsters.

"It seems that this giant tribe should have known for a long time that the 'Land of Burial God' is sealed here?"

Su Lun looked at the monster images on the murals that were obviously not creatures from this plane, but more like aberrations or undead, and guessed something.

But there is another problem,

The Daru people once encountered a catastrophe that nearly wiped out the genocide here.

So long before that, how did this giant city that was once underground be destroyed?

"Mr. Su Lun, here's another piece!"

"There's one here too."

"And here."

"."

In the dark hall, Su Lun looked all the way, and Uta also helped him find many stone slabs hidden in the roots and vines.

Originally, he thought that the reliefs were probably full of documentary stories,

But later,

But I saw some "fairy stories".

For example, a certain glowing giant killed a sun in the deep sea;

For another example, a certain supreme deity dripped blood from his knee, and a race of giants was born

The plot of the story seems absurd, almost like listening to a myth.

But Su Lun was not surprised either.

Giants have god beliefs.

With faith, it is possible to myth something.

And alchemists are a very special group of people who don't believe in gods. Therefore, I usually take a neutral attitude towards ordinary gods, and even have a slightly critical eye.

Some missionaries collect beliefs for the purpose of creating gods, and use some spells or alchemy to create some "miracles" to deceive ordinary people's beliefs.

Therefore, there are many myths that are circulating now, some are true and some are false.

It doesn't necessarily happen in ancient times.

Su Lun thought that he couldn't see any important information from these murals.

But watch and watch,

However, he was attracted by the content of a piece of incomplete relief.

This is obviously another stone slab for a fairy tale, but Su Lun couldn't move his eyes away.

Because, this experience made him feel inexplicably familiar!

On that piece of relief, engraved a man with a halo behind him, riding a horse.

Probably a god.

He found a "spring" guarded by a giant race.

The two pointed to the spring water, as if they were talking about something.

Then the content of the mural was broken.

The content on the other half of the mural is very bloody. The man with the aperture only has one eye left, which is still bleeding. He was then hung upside down from a tree and impaled with a spear.

Then, something like a "symbol" seemed to have fallen from the tree, and there was an expression on his face as if he had found a treasure?

"this"

When Su Lun saw this one-eyed eye, he unconsciously thought of the scene where he once sacrificed one eye in Stormwind Manor to obtain the [Pupil of Omniscience].

Although most of the content of the mural was missing, a strange guess came to his mind at the moment: "The god on this mural sacrificed an eye, and then dropped something from the tree in exchange? "

Su Lun looked familiar at the "symbol" that fell from the tree.

Kind of like a rune?

He has a good understanding of this world now, but he has never heard of the second ritual that requires the sacrifice of eyes.

Could it be that this mural is related to the pupil of omniscience?

Unfortunately, the relief is blurred and incomplete, and no other useful information can be found.

Thinking of this, Su Lun frowned slightly.

If you can find the complete mural, you may know what this "myth" is about.

No other useful murals were found in the dilapidated hall, so Su Lun and the others planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this time, I heard hurried footsteps outside.

It sounded like someone was running fast.

There are also some subtle sounds of armor touching.

Uta's sense of hearing is more acute than Su Lun's, and she was immediately startled: "There are people nearby!"

The two looked at each other, silently silent. He quietly touched it out and hid it in a vine.

After a while, they saw the source of the distant sound.

It was a group of more than ten armored soldiers chasing several huge gray wolves.

"A warrior from the Gray Wolf Tribe?"

Su Lun immediately recognized that those gray wolves were not monsters, but animalized Daru people.

Uta's expression on the side changed even more, and his fangs and claws immediately turned into beasts.

But she didn't act impulsively, but stared around fiercely. She naturally knew that there was a very powerful human legion nearby, and rash actions would not solve the problem at all except death.

Several gray wolves were chased in a panic, and two of them had blood holes pierced by spears. Even though the complex terrain had many conveniences for four-legged, they couldn't run fast. The other few refused to abandon their companions to escape, and it seemed that sooner or later they would be overtaken by the sergeants behind them.

Su Lun was not in a hurry to start, but focused on some details.

"Strange, what does it mean to be wrapped in a red cloth?"

He looked very puzzled, the arms of those armored soldiers were all wrapped with a piece of red cloth.

Su Lun thought it had some special effect, but after appraising it, it turned out to be ordinary [blood-stained cloth]?

Although he didn't figure it out, he didn't think about the abnormality that he couldn't see.

Killing Soul Sou, the effect is more direct.

He is a descendant of Isaac's lineage, and it is impossible for him to watch the Dalu people being killed due to emotion and reason.

The black crow flew in the sky and did not see any other pursuers.

Su Lun was also relieved, and made a look at Yuta beside him, and the two rushed out in a tacit understanding.

The chasing sergeants were all elite royals, and they were obviously wary of being attacked.

As soon as Su Lun and the two left, they were spotted immediately.

Moreover, seeing the combination of one person and one white wolf, the leader's expression changed, and he immediately shouted: "Send the signal!"

Su Lun knew that he had been recognized.

He killed the hunchbacked old man in the gray wolf tribe before, and left some alive.

Apparently the news had passed.

So as soon as the sergeants saw him, they were ready to call for reinforcements.

But Su Lun would not give them this chance.

He stepped on empty steps and stepped on the air again and again, making "popping" noises.

In the rapid dash, spatial displacement is used again.

Dash + spatial displacement, making him look like a ghost, rushing into the enemy team in the blink of an eye.

Although the leader is only a third-rank major officer, his armor is all Royal Legion standard equipment, and his defense is super strong. It was almost impossible for Su Lun to kill everyone instantly.

But it is impossible for him to watch this group of people signal to go.

When the man rushed over, Su Lun, the double surgeon, pinched and untied the reproductive at the same time.

"It's also a good time to try my new breeding equipment ability!"

He grasped the void with the ten fingers of both hands, and said to himself: "Spiritual Alchemy·Shadow Killing Technique!"

The elite team obviously also got the information about Su Lunhui's space displacement method.

Therefore, the leading major made a tactical gesture, and more than a dozen people immediately scattered and fled. They didn't mean to fight head-on at all, and took out the signal transmitter at the same time.

As long as anyone can send out a signal, high-level professionals will immediately lead a team to reinforce.

Hold on for a moment, and the crisis will be resolved.

However, a scene that they never expected happened.

After all, these guys are elites. Seeing that Su Lun suddenly teleported into the crowd, they reacted extremely quickly. They changed their combat formation instantly and entered the fighting state.

But suddenly!

Without warning, everyone's bodies froze on the spot as if possessed by a demon!

As if they suddenly lost control of their bodies, they found that they could no longer perceive the existence of their bodies.

Everyone was terrified.

"No, it's mind control!"

The lead major found something and tried to break free with willpower.

However, where would Su Lun give them a chance?

The witch's hair can penetrate through any gaps, and this set of super-defensive armor is useless under the attack of [spiritual tentacles].

On the way here, he had tried it on Uta many times, and he was familiar with the use of the new colony equipment.

The shot is aimed at killing people.

While the bodies of these armored sergeants were stiff, they pulled out the short knives they were wearing one by one like lightning. Then he poked in the gap of his helmet without hesitation.

In the next moment, the sharp blade pierced into the brain from the eye socket without hindrance.

More than a dozen people, without any resistance, turned into more than a dozen corpses in an instant.

Mind manipulation is such a weird thing, as long as it is tricked, it is almost a dead end.

The third-tier captain was still trying to resist, his trembling arms trying to stop the sharp knife from piercing.

Su Lun slapped the end of the handle of the knife and sent him off.

On the other hand, the remaining enemies who were far away were also entangled by Uta and the gray wolves who turned back, and had no chance to send out a signal.

Not long after, the battle was over.

Su Lun harvested the soul fragments of this group of people.

Only then did he know what the red cloth wrapped around these people's arms was for.

Uta's previous feeling was right.

This giant tree will indeed bless the Daru people.

If other races break in, they will be strangled by those ubiquitous vine dryads and monsters. Those members of the Luying Royal Legion suffered a big loss before.

And the cloth strips stained with the blood of the Dalu tribe have the effect of temporary protection.

And Su Lun's previous guess is also correct, there are a lot of cursed spaces here because of the previous war.

Those members of the Lu Ying royal family broke through many, and also discovered that some "ancient secrets" were sealed in this city.

And now those people have brought a [Forbidden Item], and they are breaking the last super-large cursed space in the core area of ​​the giant tree that caused them heavy casualties.

Based on the intelligence, Su Lun guessed that the huge cursed space is very likely to be related to the truth of the great war that year!
