Chapter 427 Mysterious Ruins (Part 1)

"boom!"

A cylindrical sword energy hit the door of the underwater ruins. The violent impact made the seafloor tremble, and the soft sand and dust bounced up, making the sea water turbid.

Tang Ke's full blow failed to shake this door. It seems that this ruins is extraordinary. He bypassed the stone door and searched for a suitable place to start on the stone wall. Not long after, he found a chip in the corner of the ruins. There are also cracks next to the defect, which looks quite fragile. From the appearance, the gap looks like it was dug out with the claws of some sea monster.

He retreated a distance, and light emitted out of thin air under his feet, getting stronger and stronger. He shouted sharply, kicked his feet fiercely, and the light from the soles of his feet exploded, pushing him to the gap. At this moment, he stabbed forward with his sword, and the sword energy turned into two white lights. Illuminating the dark seabed.

"boom!!!"

The sword energy slammed into the gap, and a rumble was heard, and some gravel rolled down. The smoke dispersed, revealing an entrance to the ruins.

Tang Ke retracted his sword and swam into the entrance. When he entered, it scraped against a sharp stone and scratched his clothes.

The ruins are still full of sea water. It can be seen that there are many cracks here and it is not a sealed environment. Tang Ke clasped his fingers together and flicked them, and several sword energy balls flew out from his fingertips. These sword energy balls flew to various parts of the ruins, lighting up the surroundings. Although he has excellent eyesight, he still likes to stay in bright places.

The interior is a rectangular space with many rough carvings on the floor and walls, many stone pillars, and many candlesticks extending on the walls. It can be seen that this ruins should have been built in the open air at first, and later sank to the seabed due to changes in the earth's crust and other reasons. At the end of this space, a dazzling light is reflected.

Tang Ke looked around and confirmed that only the light in front was suspicious, then turned around and swam over.

The source of the light comes from a large mirror, which reflects the light of the sword energy and emits a certain amount of light itself. The light of the mirror itself appears light blue, moving irregularly, sometimes larger and sometimes smaller, sometimes more and sometimes less. This mirror is as tall as three people, with gold edges inlaid around it, giving off an indescribable and mysterious beauty.

Tang Ke used an investigation technique.

Shuttle mirror:

Level: Epic item.

Type: Other.

Description: If you want to get from one place to another quickly,

This kind of treasure is undoubtedly the best choice. As long as you step into one mirror, you can come out of the other mirror, no matter how far apart the two mirrors are. This kind of precious mirror came from the hands of craftsmen in ancient times. The craftsmen at that time would be inspired and helped by the gods and be able to create extraordinary treasures.

Effect: Travel from one mirror to another.

No matter what is on the other side of the mirror, the mirror itself is already a good treasure. If the shuttle mirror can be set up in several territories, it can quickly travel between territories to transport supplies or personnel.

But it makes no sense for light to get one mirror. It needs at least two mirrors to travel through.

I don't know where the mirror leads to, and it may lead to an extremely dangerous place. Tang Ke believed in the famous saying that wealth can be found in danger. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to touch the mirror. As soon as his hand touched the mirror, he passed through it. The touch was like dipping into ice-cold water. Tang Ke didn't feel anything strange in his hands. He mustered up the courage to step forward and disappeared into the mirror.

Tangke saw colorful lights, like some kind of color spectrum, or a messed up rainbow. The light quickly dissipated, and Tang Ke's feet felt solid. He had indeed traveled through time, and was surrounded by another place.

This place is much smaller than the previous hall, very narrow and long, but the texture of the stone and the carving style of the ground are the same as before. No seawater has penetrated here, and the surroundings are tightly sealed and dark.

Tang Ke walked forward and found two more passages halfway. It turned out that this was an intersection. At the end of each intersection, the same mirror stood. Tang Ke had difficulties. First, he didn't know which mirror to choose to move forward. Second, he didn't know how to transport these mirrors.

In addition, he still has a question, is this still the underwater ruins? With this in mind, he called up the sea chart to check, and found that the place he was in was actually in the Gemstone Sea, more than 10,000 nautical miles away from the previous ruins!

The distance is so far that they cannot be transported separately. It is best to carry the mirror and then go back through the mirror. But in this case, the "space channel" of the two mirrors may be distorted or even destroyed. This is just Tang Ke's guess, but this guess is reasonable. He liked taking risks, but he was not seeking death. He immediately gave up the idea of ​​transporting mirrors through mirrors and decided to explore the place first before making any plans.

Tang Ke held a light ball in his hand and carefully checked around the cross-shaped passage, but could not find any guidance. Those pictographic patterns might have a deep meaning, but he couldn't tell.

"Fried beans in a small pot, the more they fry, the smellier they become..." Tang Ke said a tongue twister he learned when he was a child. After reading the last word, he pointed his finger to the passage on the right. Anyway, he didn't know the right path, so he simply chose a random path.

After passing through this mirror, you will reach a T-shaped passage. Tang Ke checked the chart again and found that the place had changed again. It was far away from the floating ice sea. He followed the last solution and chose a random path. He passed through more than a dozen mirrors repeatedly, but still could not reach the end, and every time he changed places, his location would change.

"Huh?" Tang Ke was shocked to find that the newly arrived place looked very familiar. He must have been here before. Every time he chooses a mirror he has never walked through, so logically he shouldn't go back to where he was.

Tang Ke felt that he could no longer wander around and should go back along the original route and make further calculations later. He turned around and stepped back into the mirror, but what he returned to was not the E-shaped passage just now, but another L-shaped passage. In other words, he can come out of this mirror, but he cannot go back to where he was through this mirror!

He felt a little unsure. If this was the case, he wouldn't be able to return to the entrance based on his memory, because the place where the mirror leads is in chaos. In order to verify this guess, he entered the mirror again. This time the location where the mirror led changed again and turned into an H-shaped passage!

There is indeed something fishy about these mirrors!

Tang Ke frowned and stopped walking around. He stood there and thought patiently.

Why can't we go back and forth normally through these mirrors? Could it be that the places these mirrors lead to are all random? If this is the case, why is this matter not mentioned in the results of the investigation...

Tang Ke fell into a whirlpool of thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he came up with an answer. The results of the investigation were not wrong. The crux of the problem lay on the target ground of the mirror.

Suppose the first mirror is a and the leading mirror is b. Mirror b leads to mirror c, but does not return to mirror a. As a result, people who enter the ruins can only keep moving forward, but cannot return along the original path.

If you want to leave here, you have to find the mirror leading to Mirror A.

There are two choices before Tang Ke. One is to continue blindly killing mice, and the other is to directly destroy this place with brute force and escape. Tang Ke chose to continue walking around, because if he destroyed this place and got out, he would have to run back to Dragon Nest Island by himself, and this distance was not short.

This ruins caused him a lot of trouble, but he did not regret coming here. This place is so strange, there must be some secret hidden - a secret worth exploring.

Tonk traveled through mirror after mirror, arriving at about forty different locations. The span of these places is very large, covering half of the planet, forming a huge network.

Gradually, he figured out part of the direction of the mirror maze, but he still couldn't find the way back.

The scene changed. This place was very different from the previous one. It was a circular space with a circle of more than thirty mirrors placed around it. This is obviously the hub of the mirror maze.

Tang Ke looked around the mirrors, feeling a little dizzy and not sure which one to choose.

"My child, you came to a place you shouldn't have come to and disturbed my spiritual practice." A distant and old voice sounded, echoing in all directions, making it difficult to find the source.

Tang Ke quickly turned his head and looked left and right. The surroundings were empty except for the changing light in the mirror.

"Who are you? Where are you?"

"As an intruder, don't you think these questions are presumptuous?"

"I'm a pirate," Tonk said. "I'm not very polite."

"You should change this bad habit and learn more etiquette, because there is a saying that disaster comes from the mouth."

"Okay. Since your home has 'entertained' me for a long time, I am willing to respect you, but you have to show up. I think hiding one's head and tail is the most impolite behavior."

"I... can't show anyone."

"Why?"

"I don't want to talk about myself to a stranger, so please leave. This is my last good advice. If you refuse to leave, I can only treat you in some unfriendly ways." "

"Oh?" Tang Kela raised his voice and pulled out the sword. The blade rubbed against the scabbard making a numbing sound. "What do you mean by unfriendly?"

The mysterious man was silent for a few seconds and lamented: "How dare someone draw a knife to me and do such disrespectful behavior to me. The world has really changed." These words were more like talking to himself than to Tang. Ke listened.

"Are you just complaining when you say unfriendly?" Tang Ke released a wave of shadow power. The wave spread out in a circular shape, like invisible ripples, but they were all bounced back by the wall, and Some were swallowed up by mirrors.

"My child, I gave you the opportunity to leave safely, but you didn't appreciate it. Your greed blinded your eyes, which will bring disaster to you. In the next life, please take my words as your life motto." The surrounding mirrors appeared strange, the surface fluctuations increased a lot, and the light became more intense. "Let reason dominate the mind, not let desire dominate the mind."
