Pirate System

Chapter 428: Mysterious Ruins (Part 2)

Tang Ke miscalculated. He thought he could use the provoking method to excite the master of the ruins, but he didn't expect that the other party had such ability and could control these traveling mirrors! These mirrors are ancient treasures. If the other party can control these mirrors, they must be very powerful. Tang Ke's previous confidence was greatly reduced, and he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

The light clusters in the surrounding mirrors reached a dazzling brightness, separated from the mirrors, and shot toward Tang Ke standing in the center, as fast as lightning.

Tang Ke wanted to test the power of these light balls. He shook his arm and created more than thirty sword energy. He controlled the sword energy to shoot out around in an umbrella shape, and used the sword energy to hit the light balls. However, he did not expect that after the sword energy hit the light balls, they suddenly disappeared into them and disappeared, as if they were swallowed up by the light balls. . He was quite surprised, he jumped up high from the ground with a kick, and dodged the attack of the light ball.

Those light balls flew into the air, but did not collide with each other, but stopped abruptly. It seems that the master of the ruins hidden behind can freely control these light balls. The light ball paused in mid-air for half a second, then flew upwards, shooting at Tangke for the second time.

Tang Ke evaded hastily, pulled out his sword, and ran upside down on the ceiling board. The corner of his clothes was rubbed to the side by a ball of light, and he heard a "chi-la" sound. The corner of his clothes disappeared without a trace in the ball of light, not even leaving ashes.

"Ignorant and greedy mortal, I will send you to an unimaginable dead space, where you can repent for your reckless behavior." The voice of the owner of the ruins echoed in the house, and he said to Tang Ke A death sentence was issued.

"Who are you?" Tang Ke was chasing the light balls, running around and jumping up and down, very embarrassed. The attack trajectories of those light balls became more and more cunning, and a strategy of dispersion and outflanking was adopted, dispersing to various parts of the house, leaving only a very small gap for avoidance.

"You are not qualified to know the answer to this question, and you don't need to know, because you don't need to know that much." As soon as the voice fell, the speed of the light ball suddenly increased, and the blazing light illuminated the room blurryly. You can see a vast expanse of white.

If it weren't for the protection of the Resurrection Fountain in Tang Ke's body, his eyes would definitely be stabbed by the light. He stared at the stone wall in front of him, trying to figure out how to break through it and escape from here. The strength of the owner of the ruins is unfathomable, and he has decided to escape.

"Even the God of Death can't take away my life!" Tang Ke used the power of the Resurrection Fountain to increase his speed to the highest level. Afterimages appeared on his body, and light balls flashed one after another. He seized the safe gap and stabbed at the stone wall. The move he used comes from the records of the Soul-stealing Knife, and is called "Flash of Sword Light". This move has a similar effect to the "Cannon" that Dardarian knows. They are both straight-line strike sword skills, which can target anyone on the line. The target is destroyed instantly.

The sword energy formed a beam of light and hit the stone wall. Logically speaking, the destructive power of this move is enough to penetrate the stone wall.

However, a burst of luminous ripples suddenly appeared on the stone wall. The sword energy was absorbed by the faint ripples and failed to impact the stone wall.

Although this scene was short, Tang Ke could see it clearly. He was just a little nervous before, but from this moment on, he started to be scared! His sword energy is completely ineffective under these lights, and the opponent's strength is unfathomable!

"You can't escape. This is my home, and I dominate everything here." The words of the owner of the ruins revealed a sense of confidence and the strength of a high-ranking person, "Your strength is pretty good in today's world. , but in front of me, you are no different than an ant. You can dodge those light balls, but you can't dodge my next blow, because there is no gap in this blow!"

Tang Ke swallowed after hearing this, became more vigilant, paid attention to the movements around him, and released shadow waves to scan the position of the light ball.

Those light balls stopped, became larger and thinner, and the light balls turned into divergent light mist and connected together. A layer of light waves flowed across the ground and spread towards Tang Ke's feet.

Tang Ke didn't dare to let those lights touch him, so he hurriedly opened his sword energy wings and flew up, hanging in the air. Unfortunately, the space here is limited and he doesn't fly very high.

The light quickly connected into one piece, leaving no gaps, covering Tang Ke, and quickly shrank.

Tang Ke was trapped in a desperate situation, frightened, and cold sweat broke out on his back. In the current situation, he could only fight to the death. He crossed his swords in front of his chest, summoned up enough sword energy to protect his whole body, and rushed forward. He twisted violently in mid-air, his body unfolded and rotated, and the sword energy moved accordingly, forming a drill shape, producing layers of jagged air waves. The outer edge of the sword energy was also dyed with a faint black color, which was caused by the power of shadow. All his strength had been used in this move.

The tip of the sword energy hit the wall of light. Tang Ke prayed that the attack would be effective, but a situation that made him desperate happened. The sword energy was once again absorbed by the light, without producing any destructive power. This light seemed to be the nemesis of the sword energy.

What the hell is this light? Tang Ke looked at the dazzling light wall and thought anxiously. He used the investigation technique on the light wall, but there was no result. His investigation technique is not omnipotent, and pure elements such as wind, fire, thunder, and electricity cannot be investigated.

After such a delay, the outer light had shrunk by more than half, and Tang Ke's remaining space for movement was less than ten square meters.

Tang Ke had tried his best. He believed that he was no match for the master of the ruins, so he gritted his teeth and chose to compromise.

"Please stop! I apologize for my words and deeds just now. Please take back these lights!" Tang Ke apologized hurriedly, and to show his sincerity, he also restrained his sword energy.

"Your apology is too late." The owner of the ruins did not buy it.

The light shrank again and approached Tang Ke. He said anxiously: "Don't kill me. I can do something for you or give you a lot of money. I still have a lot of treasures. As long as you let me go, I can give you anything." you!"

This time, the owner of the ruins, Qian Jian, stopped talking nonsense. The only response to Tang Ke was the approaching wall of light.

Tang Ke gave up begging for mercy. The words he just said were his bottom line. If he was asked to beg for mercy with even more mean words, it would be better to just let him die. Although death was right in front of him, he had no regrets, just felt a little pity. His dominance had just made some progress, but he didn't expect it to fall here.

"Fuck! What a fucking coward. I didn't expect that I would die in a place like this. And I don't even know who killed him."

Tang Ke spat, lowered his arms, and calmly welcomed the coming of death.

The light wall shrank, and the upper part touched Tang Ke's hair, and the lower part touched Tang Ke's soles. Tangke's hair and soles were instantly swallowed up by the light.

Tang Ke's skin was also touched by the light, and he felt intense pain. This kind of pain was different from ordinary wounds, it was like a force of ten thousand pounds was squeezing his skin. The light engulfed his entire head and half of his legs. He thought his head would break, but that didn't happen. His head was still healthy and he could even open his eyes, but it was just very painful.

The surroundings are no longer underwater ruins, but another place. It's pitch black here, boundless, there's nothing there, only extremely powerful pressure.

Although Tang Ke didn't know where this place was, he could conclude that if everyone was sent to a place like this, they would definitely be trapped to death. He also thought about another thing clearly. The light emitted by the ruins master has the same effect as the shuttle mirror, and both can carry out space teleportation. After his sword energy hit the light, it was teleported here, so naturally it could not produce destructive power.

Even if you think about these things, you can't change the outcome. Tonk closed his eyes and fought against the growing pain.

"Why are you here?" The voice of the owner of the ruins was transmitted through the space channel, and it was vaguely distinguishable.

Things seemed to have changed. Tang Ke regained his energy and listened carefully to the voice of the owner of the ruins.

The owner of the ruins was obviously talking to another visitor, but the other person's voice was not that loud. The conversation sounded like the owner of the ruins was talking to himself.

"I'm dealing with an intruder. He knows the location here. I can't let him leave alive, lest the location here be exposed."

Judging from what the owner of the ruins said, he was very reluctant to let others know the location of this place. Even if Tang Ke initially agreed to leave, he would still be teleported here. As long as Tang Ke arrives here and knows its location, he is already doomed to die.

"What? You called me..." The voice of the master of the ruins suddenly weakened midway. It seemed that what he said was extremely obscure, so obscure that even a dying person couldn't listen.

The progress of the space teleportation stopped. Only half of Tang Ke's body was sent here, and the other half was still left in the underwater ruins. He was forced to endure this awkward and painful state.

The owner of the ruins was silent for a few seconds and did not reveal any other information. Then, without any warning, Tangke was pulled back and landed on the previous ruins.

Tang Ke coughed a few times after landing, and hit the ground with his sword before falling to the ground, barely avoiding falling. His head and legs still ached, as if on fire.

"Why did you send me back again?" Tonk asked.

"You beg for mercy on your behalf and let me let you go." The owner of the ruins replied tepidly.

"Who begged for me?" Tang Ke was stunned for a moment. He couldn't think of anyone he knew who had such a great reputation.

"Don't ask, she doesn't want you to know her identity. In fact, it's better for you not to know too much. Anything related to me or her is extremely dangerous. If it weren't for today She appeared in time, and you are already dead. The place I just sent you to is the void area of ​​the world, where nothing exists, not even air. Even if you can withstand the pressure there, you will be thirsty. Starve to death.”

Tang Ke still knew what was good. He retracted his sword and bowed in front of him. "Although I don't know who you are, I still thank you for saving my life." He felt lucky to have saved his life, and he didn't have the heart to ask who saved him, not to mention that the owner of the ruins would definitely not say .

"I will show you the way to leave. You should leave here quickly. Also, after you go out, you are not allowed to tell others what happened here, otherwise I will not let you go." After the owner of the ruins gave the warning , the surrounding mirrors quickly dimmed, leaving only one mirror that still had light. Obviously this was the only correct way out.

Tang Ke took a step forward with a sullen expression, but then stopped. "Master here, after I leave, do you need to take my wife away from this island?" He asked this because he was afraid that the master here would find him to settle accounts later and drive him away from Dragon's Nest Island. Dragon Nest Island is next to it.

The owner of the ruins was silent for two seconds, and then replied: "You and your followers don't have to leave here, but you are not allowed to approach the coast here, otherwise you will be shot to death."

"Thank you for not driving us away." Tang Ke thanked him in a muffled voice and walked towards the mirror with his burning legs. If the other party wanted to kill him, he would have killed him just now, so you don't have to worry about the other party tampering with the mirror, and you can pass boldly. After passing this mirror, he arrived at another location where there were three mirrors, and one mirror was also shining. He passed through the glowing mirror again, and after repeating it several times, he finally reached the original underwater ruins.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but turn around and take a look at the shuttle mirror that had been restored to its original state. Thinking back to his narrow escape experience, he suddenly felt as if he was separated from another world.

... Human beings have traveled almost all over the world, but only just barely. There are still many places that human beings have never set foot on. This place is one of those places that has never been visited before, full of unknown secrets.

It is impossible to accurately describe the exact location here. We can only say that this is part of the "Mirror Maze". This place is located in the center of the entire maze, extremely secretive, and there is only one correct path to get here.

There are no more than ten people in the world who know this path, and Ivy happens to be one of the people who knows this path. At the critical moment when Tang Ke was facing a crisis, she appeared here in time and rescued Tang Ke. Thanks to her foresight, she foresaw that Tang Ke would be in trouble.

This is a spacious hall, enough to accommodate thousands of people. Both the high ceiling and the thick pillars are made of stone. There are some decorative patterns in the hall, but they are all very simple. There were twelve chandeliers hanging from the ceiling of the main hall, and there was nothing underneath except pillars and a few mirrors, making it look empty. At the end of the hall is a stone chair with armrests and carvings. This stone chair is unusually tall, giving it a throne-like feel.

There are only two entrances in the hall, and apart from Ivy, she is the main entrance here. He sat on a stone chair and held his cheek with one hand. He was very tall, twice as tall as usual, and although he had no obvious muscles, he still looked very strong. He was bareheaded and wore a loose robe that exposed his chest. On his waxy skin, there were complex interlaced patterns that looked like a maze.

"Now you can tell why you let him go." The owner of the ruins kept staring at a mirror standing in front of him, which showed the scene of Tangke swimming from the bottom of the sea. He turned his head and looked at Ivy standing next to the stone chair. In contrast to his tall figure, Ivy looked even thinner.

"The tsunami is coming. He is a very important person in this tsunami. With his help, we can hope to survive the tsunami." Ivy replied, her image did not change at all, she was wearing a black coat that covered her whole body. Clothes, a crow with bright eyes stands on the slender shoulder.

"He's just a mortal, what can he do to help us?" The owner of the ruins disagreed.

"No," Ivy corrected, "He is not a mortal. He has special power, a power that even you and I don't have. Although his power is still very weak now, his power has unlimited possibilities."

"Where does his power come from?"

"It comes from the 'Law', the 'Law' we have always been most afraid of."

Mentioning the mysterious law, the body of the owner of the ruins moved inadvertently, and this small movement seemed to be shuddering.

"Why would the law favor a mortal?" The confusion on the face of the owner of the ruins became even heavier.

"It's not so much a blessing as it is a small mistake made by the law. He is a lucky man who happened to catch up with this mistake and gained a power that even I am jealous of."

"If it was a mistake, the law should be aware of it quickly. Once the law discovers this small mistake, he will be completely wiped out."

"The thoughts of the law are unpredictable. At least before I discovered him, the law has not taken action against him. After I discovered him, I made some concealment measures for him to help him hide from the sight of the law. Now even if the law wants to To remedy this mistake, it will be difficult to find his position.”

"It turns out you were hiding it for him." The owner of the ruins nodded, "Do you still have extra strength? If possible, can you also help me with the tricks here?"

"I'm sorry, my power has reached its limit, and I really can't use more to help you. And you are already very secret here, so you don't need to worry about the law or the pursuit of the New Gods."

"But I helped you, shouldn't you express a little gratitude?" the owner of the ruins bargained.

"You are not helping me, but helping yourself. When the tsunami comes, the initiate you let go will fight for us. Only if he defeats us can we old antiques save our lives." Ivy said. He took off his hood, revealing his true face. There are many ancient characters painted on her pretty face, and the meaning of these characters is "destiny".

...Despite the considerable blow, Tang Ke was not too depressed. Benefits have always been accompanied by risks, but this time the risks were beyond his ability. The next time he encounters an opportunity, he will still take the risk and will never become timid because of a setback.

He flew away from the underwater ruins as quickly as possible and went deep into the Dragon's Nest Island. As time passed, the sense of danger in his heart gradually disappeared, replaced by deep doubts. He wanted to know who the owner of the ruins was, and who secretly saved him. These two questions troubled him deeply, but he couldn't figure it out.

The owner of the ruins calls him Mortal. Judging from this tone, the owner of the ruins should be an existence higher than mortals. Could it be said that he is a god? If he is really a god, his strength should be more than this, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for the title of god.

As for the other question, there are also no clues. Among the people he knew, only Warsaw, Golden Beard, the Queen of Greenland, and the Pirate City Lord had the highest status. However, the possibility of these four appearing in the ruins was extremely low, with only Warsaw having a slightly higher possibility.

Apart from these four women, the only other woman left is Ivy. She acts mysteriously and has an unfathomable background, but she may know the owner of the underwater ruins. It's just that Tang Ke couldn't guess why Ivy had any reason to help him.

Tang Ke was thinking wildly for Xiao Ban Yao, but failed to come up with a result, so he had to put his mind back on completing the task of exploring the island.

In order to complete this task, he had made detailed plans and divided Dragon's Nest Island into thousands of pieces. He only explores one piece at a time, and keeps in mind the parts he has explored and the parts he has not explored so as not to take the wrong path. On his way back, he passed through unexplored areas. During this period, he killed many large young beasts and ferocious beasts, and obtained many reward points.

"Ding! You have completed all the tasks of 'Exploring Dragon's Nest Island' and received an additional 3,000 reward points!"

Just as Tang Ke was about to return to the dock, the pleasant system started playing. His mission was completely completed and was taken off the to-do list. Counting this reward, he has accumulated more than 20,000 reward points in his line, which is enough to exchange for a slightly larger Tree of Life.

After returning to the dock, Tang Ke held a meeting with important members of the pirate group, but he did not mention what happened at the underwater ruins. He only reminded everyone not to get close to the coast there. Regarding the underwater ruins, it would be useless even if I told everyone. It was impossible for them to defeat the master infiltrator in the ruins, and it was impossible to move away from here. He guessed that the owner of the ruins would not make things difficult for him anymore, as long as both parties did not interfere with each other.

Tang Ke rested for a while and began to redeem the Tree of Life the next day.
