prehistoric calendar

"...Now!"

Hao turned sideways and rolled a few meters away with his head in his arms. The people behind him were immediately revealed. Immediately, magic missiles and at least a dozen semi-magic bullets all hit those who were following Hao.

On the cavalry, the heavy armored cavalry was immediately beaten to pieces, along with its skeleton horse mount, and then these broken pieces turned into particles and disappeared.

The Ghost Sickle Cavalry is an advanced species of the Skeleton Cavalry. It is a natural third-level undead creature. Its powerful essence is the same as that of a high-level death knight. It has high attack and defense and high speed. If it is in an open area, this is a very scary and difficult thing.

One of the entangled undead can wipe out an entire adventure group with a third-level professional.

Fortunately, the environment in this ruins area made it impossible for this kind of cavalry to take advantage of its mobility. A total of seven ghost sickle cavalry were only defeated by the formation arranged by Hao. In the end, no one was injured, except Hao who was used as a bait.

He was tired and had bruises on his body from rolling over many times.

However, being able to kill seven level three undead at such a cost in succession made everyone excited. The elves naturally needed no further explanation. The more they knew, the more they knew that Hao's ability was truly unrivaled.

At least they couldn't think of anyone who could

It is enough to achieve Hao's current results with such combat power. This is a victory of the weak against the strong, and it is the weak defeating the strong time and time again. This is definitely not something that can be explained by luck or chance. This is the reason why all races in the prehistoric era have been constantly being beaten.

A wise man who boasts, but never fails to boast.

As for the human race, they don’t know exactly how powerful this skeleton is. They only know that it is very powerful, so powerful that just looking at them can’t help but shudder. They all instinctively know that this monster is terrifying, very terrifying.

It was a big monster that could have wiped out their previous tribe, but under the leadership of Hao, they were able to get rid of this monster without anyone dying. This was all due to Hao's arrangement and ability.

People, even ignorant human beings, know it all.

After the war, the sergeants and their tribesmen began to clean up the battlefield skillfully. Although most of the undead disappeared after being eliminated, there were still some things left behind occasionally. These things usually have special effects in alchemy or enchantment, and occasionally they can

Some precious objects were found in it. For example, after the previous battle against the zombies, in which five tribesmen died, a magical object was found while cleaning the battlefield. After checking it, Ai Yi determined that it was a high-level magical object.

It's called the Ring of the Corpse,

It can be carried by necromancers or undead creatures with a certain amount of magic power, which is equivalent to extra magic power. Even illegal undead creatures can use a little magic. It is a highly cherished magic item.

The only pity is that only negative energy creatures can wear it, which limits its value and widespread use. However, there are also immortals among all races. For the immortals, this ring is almost as valuable as a legendary item.

It is estimated to be around five thousand spiritual stones.

The elves watched the humans cleaning the battlefield, and they consciously began to check the equipment parts of the semi-magical weapons. Six days have passed since they entered the artificial building of the ruins. During these six days, they have been in this ruins.

Moving forward, this ruins seems to be infinitely large. It has taken six days to explore the border, let alone the location of the magic tower. There is no trace at all.

At this time, Hao took out a piece of paper. There were many densely drawn lines on the paper. Every time after the war, Hao would draw something, but others had no idea what he was drawing.

In fact, in the past six days, everyone has experienced twenty-three battles, large and small. The weaker ones are nothing more than hundreds and thousands of various non-exile undead creatures, with some first- and second-order undead creatures occasionally mixed in.

As powerful as this time, there are a total of seven third-level undead. If one fails, the group will be wiped out immediately. In such a battle,

Although every time is a victory, except this time, the other times are all victories standing on the edge of the cliff. There are casualties, and if the group is not wiped out immediately, after twenty-three battles, the number of casualties has reached one

There were more than one hundred and seventy people, and even one elf died. It could be said that the entire team was about to reach its limit.

Aiyi came to Hao's side tiredly, and sat beside him without any image. At the same time, he leaned his head on his shoulder and said: "We may all die here. Everyone has reached the limit. You may

I didn't notice that the children's faces were a little blue. This is a sign of staying in a negative energy gathering place for a long time. Even if they return to a normal environment now, they will probably be seriously ill, and there will only be one base of ammunition left.

, we might all die here."

Hao's body froze, but he did not answer, but continued to draw something on the drawing. At this time, Ai Yi suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I am still a virgin. I didn't talk about it when I was a child. When I grow up, my father will

I got married, I ran away on my own, devoted myself to magic, and became a second-level magician, but I have never been in love in my life. I said, Hao, you haven't been in love either, right? It would be a pity to die like this.

Why don't we have a fight..."

"Shut up!" Hao shouted without looking back.

Ai Yi suddenly pouted, and Hao didn't care about her, just scratching on the paper. After a while, when Ai Yi fell asleep, Hao stood up and hit her head on the ground.

She shook her head and became furious. She jumped up and was about to kick Hao's knee. Hao grabbed her and said, "We have found the way. Gather everyone immediately. We will set off immediately!"

Ai Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran excitedly, calling the names of the elves and some familiar sergeants along the way, so that everyone gathered around Hao, and Hao waited quietly for everyone to arrive, and then he immediately told the rest

Humanity said: "This is a maze, not this relic."

The ruins are too huge, but this ruins was designed as a maze when it was first built, or half maze and half formation is more appropriate. We have been circling in this maze, and judging from the arrangement of this maze, we actually

I have passed by the gate of the Magic Tower several times."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and everyone looked at Hao attentively, and Hao took out the paper he drew and said: "This is a very strange octagonal maze. I have learned from the more than 20 battles we have passed.

I discovered some clues. In fact, if you look carefully, you can see that the walls, floors, and ceilings in this maze are all carefully carved, with almost identical patterns and flowers.

Style, angle, orientation, carving, etc., will make it difficult for people to distinguish the true orientation. It seems that we are always moving forward, but this is actually just a psychological and visual deception. However, this design is very clever, and it is definitely

There is also the suggestion effect of magic, so we all turned a blind eye to certain features of this maze, and in the end, we kept going in circles in this maze."

Everyone quickly looked around, but they couldn't see anything. Nuoduo asked strangely: "God, according to what you said, why do all kinds of undead keep appearing after we have circled a few times?"

Where are the creatures?”

Hao also looked around, he sighed and said: "This is the reason why I called the half formation. The pattern array of this maze is a bit mysterious. I suspect that this maze can automatically absorb the free energy of heaven and earth from the earth veins, and then pass through it."

The center of the magic tower is converted into magic power,

In order to maintain the operation of this formation, although there is no specific formation map, I have discovered some patterns in this formation maze. The intensity of the undead attacks we encountered is not disorderly, but regular. Every time we reach this octagonal

When a corner is reached, it will follow that

The special angles are used to arrange the undead attack, or there is no undead attack. I found that these eight corners are likely to represent the open position of entering the direction, the resting position without undead attack, the survival position where the undead attack is very weak, and the undead attack is somewhat powerful.

Injury position

Place... to a death position like this, where seven third-level undead appear together. There are eight directions in total. And every time we walk through the entire octagon, the directions will be changed, and the next time it will not be the previous direction.

, but the eight directions were exchanged.”

Everyone listened carefully, but except for a few people, most people didn't understand. Ai Yi understood what Hao meant. She took a breath when she heard this and said: "This sounds like...

...This is impossible. Although the owner of this ruins is a spiritual magician, he is a mixed race, and he is not a mixed race of the elves. How could he..."

The rest of the elves also have the same expression. Obviously they were born in the elves, and they generally know the common sense about that thing...

"Magic lock!" Noldo and several elves said these four words in wonder.

That's right, it's a magic lock.

Ai Yi said to Hao: "The Magic Lock is a secret that our elves don't pass on. Except for the three people with the highest succession rights in the royal family who can learn it, only the core heirs of each principality can learn it. If they are ordinary elves, at least

You have to become a demigod before you can learn a little bit about it, of course.

There must be loopholes in such a rule. For example, the heirs of the principality can learn a little bit from the subordinates, and the royal family can let professionals who are close to them learn a little bit from a bit. These are all there, but as far as the core is concerned, it will never be spread.

, even the holy gods may not have learned it all.”

Hao nodded and said: "I know this too. To be specific, why do you think this maze is related to the magic mystery lock?"

"Because it is alive." Ai said straightforwardly.

Then she thought for a while, shook her head and said: "This description is actually not very accurate. The biggest difference between Magic Mystery and all other magics is that the magic used by Magic Mystery has the characteristic of being alive. Ordinary magic will generally

Use fixed magic formulas to produce effects, so there will only be a fixed one

Or there are two functions, such as curse, which is a curse, and repair, which is repair. Any magic should have its effect, and magic has one characteristic, which is what you mentioned before. As time goes by, it is

The constant magic of a spiritual magician will gradually dissipate as time goes by."

"But the Magic Mystery Lock is different. The magic used by the Magic Mystery Lock will borrow a large amount of free energy from heaven and earth, and it also has applications in the earth's veins. Not only that, the magic used by the Magic Mystery Lock also has the characteristic of 'living'

, for example, now high-level magic towers basically have constant magic tower activation. This was originally used by our ancestors personally.

The magic improved by the Mystery Lock, so the Magic Tower has activated thinking, which can help the owner of the Magic Tower manage the entire Magic Tower. In addition, the Magic Mystery Lock also has the property of not being weakened by the passage of time, otherwise you would think that we elves

Why our clan is famous among all clans for its magic is because we possess a magic mystery that is superior to all magic."

Hao nodded, he understood why these elves thought that this maze formation was a magic mystery, because this "living" characteristic was indeed very similar to a magic mystery, so he said: "Whether this maze formation is a magic mystery or not, these

Let me think about it later, I will continue the topic just now, this mystery

The palace is oriented with eight corners. We keep turning around these eight corners, and every time we turn around, these eight corners will change again. Not only the specific content will change, but also the orientation will change.

You may not be able to understand it just by saying it this way, so I will cover it up for you in detail."

At that moment, Hao used some paper to fold out a hollow octagonal box, then continued to fold the paper, making a circle around the octagonal circle, and filled some paper wrappings inside the octagonal circle, and then

Everyone saw that Hao was in the outermost circle and the octagonal

A hole was punched in the hollow circular box. He pointed to the hole and said: "This is where we came in, and then we entered this octagonal circle. As we move forward or backward, because the corners of the octagonal circle we experience are different.

, and it started spinning.”

While speaking, Hao rotated the octagonal hollow circular box in the middle layer. In this way, the octagonal hollow circular box was no longer in the same position as before, and they could not find the passage out. They could just keep moving forward.

If the distance is long enough, as well as the various patterns, carvings, textures, and magic hints mentioned by Hao before, then they will not feel that they are taking a detour, but will keep moving forward until the entire team is wiped out.

"At the same time, there is an entrance."

Hao continued to drill a hole in the octagonal hollow circular box and the core, then turned the octagonal hollow circular box and said: "The key now is to find the entrance. Although I am not sure yet, the magic tower is here

The core is the greatest possibility, otherwise the magic power is transmitted

It can't be so fast, and the total amount of magic power can't be so sufficient. The only possibility is that the magic tower is right next to it, and there can't be magic towers outside the eight corners, so the most likely possibility is that the magic tower is right next to it.

The corners intersect inward, which is the core location!"

Everyone looked at the simple paper model made by Hao, and Ai Yi immediately asked: "Then how do we find this entry point? You also said that as we advance or retreat, this formation will always move.

It's changing, does it have to rely on luck?"

Hao shook his head and said: "Although luck is also a way, the chance is too small. If I guessed correctly in the entire array, there will be a total of eight to the eighth power of changes, with tens of millions of changes. If you want to rely on luck

To find the entrance, I am afraid it must be destiny, so we must find the correct calculation method to unlock the answer."

Everyone immediately looked at Hao expectantly, and Ai Yi asked again: "Then have you untied it?"

"No."

Hao said calmly: "It seems that there are only eight corners, but the properties of each corner are different, and if we move forward or backward, it will cause different changes. Each change may produce new changes. I just just

This is just a guess. To really find the answer, I need to conduct further tests, but..."

Hao fell into deep thought, or hesitation, because according to his estimation, in order to obtain detailed data, the entire maze array would have to run eight, eighty-sixty-four times again. In other words, they estimated that they would have to deal with at least hundreds of times.

It is almost impossible to survive the undead attack. At present, they have reached the limit of light casualties. If they continue, Hao estimates that there will be at most ten more undead attacks, and then they will most likely be wiped out.

Moreover, we must also consider the arrival of the Hades camp. So many days have passed. Hao will never underestimate the power of the Hades camp. Under the actions of countless unintended undead, let alone the collapse of several hundred meters.

It's so authentic that even a small mountain can be hollowed out in a few days. That's tens of millions, and it won't tire, complain, or slow down work. The horror of this kind of power is simply unimaginable.

So, they don't have much time...

(So...is it time for me to sacrifice myself?)

Hao didn't speak for a while. He just looked up. His eyes were dull. It was more like he was remembering than looking at something.

When he asked the tribesmen to hold spears and face death, when he asked Mu to die on the spot, when he asked everyone to face the hordes of monsters with him, when he told the marching method, even himself

But when you can kill...

There is great terror between life and death, and Hao is also terrified, because he still has his own unfulfilled wish. He wants to find the human city, even if it is just a glimpse, he wants to see that city, that is what he has in his heart

Holy Land, before that, he really didn’t want to die, definitely didn’t want to die…

However, he cannot demand death from others, and then be lenient to himself and allow himself to enjoy life. This is unfair!

"Ai Yi." Hao suddenly spoke.

Ai Yi was stunned for a moment, then agreed, and Hao looked at her seriously and said, "I want to sign a secret contract with you."

Aiyi was stunned again. She looked at the people around her and thought that Hao had some plans that were not suitable to be revealed on the spot. She thought about it and stretched her hand into the void. Magic runes immediately appeared. Soon, a

A piece of Xuwu paper appeared, and Aiyi said: "The secret contract is only known to both parties who signed it, and it cannot be told to others before it is reached, and..."

"I know." Hao put his hand on the encrypted contract. After a moment, he let go and said to Ai Yi: "Put your hand on it too and sign it."

Ai Yi stretched out her hand in a daze, and then a shocked expression appeared on her face.

Hao signed a master-servant cipher text contract. The contract stipulated that once he died, Ai would break away from the master-servant relationship with him, and at the same time, obtain his memory of the location of the venerable's legacy, and

The requirement is that he must inform Ilúvatar of the location of the Forsaken Land, lead the remaining human tribesmen out of here, and resettle them properly.

Then Hao didn't look at Ai Yi or the others. He focused his eyes and looked at the paper with the octagonal pattern on it, and his whole person entered a super state.

In an instant, infinite information was displayed in front of Hao's eyes. Numbers, eight to the eighth power, tens of millions of calculations, seemed as simple as one plus one equals two. The position when they first entered, the current position, The entrance, exit, location of the magic tower, possible enemies, etc. were all presented before his eyes.

Not only that, this infinite amount of information has been deduced downwards. Suddenly, this infinite amount of information seems to be stuck, as if it has encountered a huge numerical problem. Then, eight strange runes are looming, and so on. It was displayed in front of Hao.

(Bajiao, no, this is Bagua... Jiugong inversion, Bagua, Five Elements, Four...)

"Qian, Kun, Zhen, Gen, Kan, Li, Xun, Dui..."

Hao muttered this sentence, but before the true meaning of these eight runes appeared, the epidermal blood vessels on his forehead began to burst one after another. At the same time, one of his eyeballs burst directly from the socket, and the surface of his body also began to burst. Numerous cracks appeared. At this moment, Ai Yi suddenly waved to him and hit him in the back of the head with a huge force, knocking him unconscious.
