The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

The ruins of the Nyx-era temple on Duzhang Island are very well preserved.

When Raymond stepped through the door, he saw the system prompt. He had entered a special magnetic field environment, and the range of his perception was greatly weakened.

To be on the safe side, he did not dare to be careless and summoned a sacred tree puppet to clear the way ahead. No matter what traps there were, this puppet with full physical and demon resistance could give him enough time to react.

"There has never been such a complete ruin in the game... What is the origin of this temple?"

Raymond raised his eyebrows and muttered. His feet were a little numb, and the chisel marks on the steps were still very clear, and it looked like they were piled up yesterday. The passage was dark and deep, with thousands of twists and turns, and no end in sight. Gooseneck oil lamp

It is a typical style of the Knicks period. There are whale oil lamps at regular intervals on the wall that are said to be immortal.

"It's strange. There aren't any settings like hidden weapons. It just limits the range of perception..."

Raymond carefully walked along the stairs for a long time, and estimated that his current position was probably more than a hundred meters below the sea level. Although the range of perception was greatly restricted, he did not feel the breath of any living thing along the way.

Probably because the temple ruins are extremely well sealed, no stray monsters have used this place as their lair. Naturally, there is no need to worry about a terrifying snake head with giant lantern eyes suddenly appearing from the end of the darkness...

Finally, after walking for a long time, we reached the bottom of the ruins.

"The sensing range has been compressed to less than three hundred meters..."

It wasn't until he saw the group of figures a few hundred meters away in his field of vision that Raymond sensed the aura of the Wind Wolf Mercenary Group.

"Sixteen regiments of 'Qi'... not a single one is missing."

These people were still alive, and he felt relieved.

After all, enemies who know their roots are much easier to deal with than those unknown entities.

But at this moment, the system prompt sounded suddenly.

This lifeless underground world is particularly alarming.

[Ding! Mysterious power invaded... It was detected that you were wearing the 'Mendro's Curse Mask', the 'Divine Blessing' attribute was triggered, you were protected by ancient gods, and you were successfully exempted from this mental power erosion. ]

"What the hell is this? Is it exempt from a mental invasion?"

Raymond looked at the system prompts and his expression changed slightly.

The 'Mandro Curse Mask' itself is a sacrificial object passed down from the Nyx civilization. It originally has a 10% chance of immunity from mental spells...

"But what happens when the system triggers the protection of gods? Could it be that the mysterious erosion just now came from the means of a certain god? Is there really a 'god' in this ruins?"

He stopped and his eyes flew, becoming more and more surprised the more he thought about it.

at this moment,

Raymond was hiding in a position where he could clearly overlook the bottom of the entire ruins. After a cursory glance, he was immediately shocked by the majestic sight of the ruins in front of him.

This is a very majestic and spectacular ancient civilization ruins. Thirty-six huge white stone pillars 100 meters high support the huge building complex of the entire underground ruins. Burning braziers illuminate every corner of the ruins. In front of you is a preserved

A very intact open temple.

The most eye-catching thing is the circular altar in the center of the temple. A clear pool is exuding cold air at the entrance of the temple. The altar made of shiny black stones is shining, and around the altar stand eight figures like door gods.

, giant stone sculptures of god generals with ferocious faces. Each stone sculpture is thirty meters long, with broad shoulders and a strong body, with different shapes. They all look like the fierce god generals with an angry King Kong.

"That's...Thor?"

Raymond looked at one of the eight statues that looked familiar, and the scene of the battle two years ago immediately came to mind.

That divine general wearing golden armor and holding a huge hammer with a thunder spear...isn't it the mysterious "Thunder God" form of Olises, the old dean of Philip Academy?

"Thunder God, Fire God, Wind God..."

He carefully distinguished the forms of the other seven divine generals, and at a glance identified the elemental attributes they represented, and instantly guessed what they were.

"These...are they the eight divine generals, thunder, wood, dark gold, earth, wind, water, and fire that protect the gods in the legend of Nyx civilization?"

Raymond vaguely felt as if he had touched upon a clue to a very high-level ancient civilization.

Before he came in, he had already guessed that the specifications of this ruins would be very high, but now that he saw the complete sculptures of eight divine generals, he realized that he had underestimated them.

Even though it was late in the game, the "dark" and "gold" generals in the complete "Illusion God System·Eight Divine Generals" of the Nix civilization had not been revealed...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he accidentally saw the amazing scene of eight divine generals gathering in the ruins of the Black Sea!

Obviously,

This Eight God General is not the protagonist of this temple yet!

Eight tall gods surrounded the circular altar like stars holding the moon, and the metal mirrors on the surrounding stone walls that shone silvery light like bright moons also directed their beams of light at the center of the altar.

Where the light is focused, a 100-meter-tall sculpture with three heads and six arms is shining and reflecting the bronze metallic luster.

"This is...'Kix God' himself?"

Raymond had seen relevant introductions in the murals in some ruins in the game, but this was the first time he had seen a physical statue of a god.

This statue wears a five-skull crown on its head, its red hair stands like a blazing flame, its feet are on a mountain of corpses, behind it there are dense auspicious clouds in the shapes of beasts, its three heads each express happiness, anger, and solemnity, and its six arms are like holding objects...

Absolutely right!

After a moment of shock, Raymond's eyes suddenly glowed with golden light.

"Isn't this...such a big statue made of pure gold?"

He remembered that the believers of the gods in the Nyx civilization liked to use gold to cast statues of gods and decorate them with the most precious gems... Such antiquities are priceless in the market!

If this idol was really pure gold... no, even if it was gold-plated, he would be rich!

"I don't know if the system package can fit this thing..."

As soon as this weird idea came into this guy's mind, reality immediately poured cold water on him.

Because at this time,

Raymond saw an absolutely strange scene.

Human beings in the steam age believed in science and supernatural power, and very few people believed in ancient gods anymore.

But not far away, the sixteen people in the Wind Wolf mercenary group all knelt down at the foot of the statue, full of piety.

"Is it possible that you are being mind controlled?"

Just as Raymond thought of the previous system prompt, an even weirder scene appeared!

He looked at the sixteen people kneeling below and suddenly stood up, and then their limbs began to twitch...

If you look closely, they are actually "dancing"!

Even a burly man like [Iwakuma] White is like a delicate dancer at this moment, twisting his body and dancing a strange rhythm... These guys are like a row of marionettes, and their every move is surprisingly in sync.

, dancing in full swing.

And, what's even more terrifying is...

Their faces seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, and each of them had a strange and stiff smile.

"Sacrificial dance?"

Raymond squinted his eyes, looking at the strange scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back. If he hadn't been controlled by the mask immunity just now, he would probably have become a part of the dancing below now.

"Is it a monster that emits that mental power erosion, or some other mysterious existence? Is it a passive trigger, or an active..."

Raymond frowned and thought deeply, recalling all the similar situations he had encountered in the game.

If it weren't for the Mendelo Mask, he would have definitely chosen to retreat immediately when he saw this strange scene in front of him.

There are immeasurable treasures in this temple, but you have to consider whether you have the life to get them.

The standard of the temple in front of you is really too high!

The higher it is, the more dangerous it is.

The world of navigation is a world where extraordinary power exists! The higher the standard of the temple and the more complete the preservation, the more it shows that there may still be some mysterious power of ancient civilization left here...

No, not maybe, now it definitely exists!

Those dancing guys below have personally encountered lightning and have confirmed that there must be a mysterious force controlling the temple ruins.

But at this moment,

"Huh...are they out of control?"

Just when Raymond was hesitating whether to continue staying, the dozen or so people in the distance suddenly woke up as if nothing had happened.

"Captain, this is a complete ruins! We made a fortune this time..."

"Hahaha... I didn't expect that there is such a treasure hidden in the Niguel Volcanic Islands."

"Captain, look, there are many well-preserved sacrificial artifacts over there..."

"..."

The mercenaries seemed to have woken up from a dream. They had completely forgotten about kneeling down and dancing just now, and they all shouted excitedly.

It's like drinking and cutting off a memory, directly ignoring a certain memory.

"Now...what's going on?"

Seeing this scene, Raymond frowned.

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it became.

According to the general plot, since these guys were controlled by that mysterious spiritual force, shouldn't they dance to death? How could they suddenly wake up?

...

"Don't touch the things here first, I don't think something is right!"

[Iwakuma] White is an old mercenary after all. He has personally excavated many ancient civilization ruins.

His intuition made him feel that there was something wrong with this temple.

Thinking about it, he said to the donor next to him: "Master Wumu, I think there is something weird about the altar here. We'd better not go to the altar first..."

"Tsk tsk... I have long heard that there is a big secret hidden in the treasure map left behind by the ancestors of the Baylor family. I didn't expect it to be true! The standards of this ruins are so high that it is simply unheard of. This place is probably a legend from the Knicks era.

Several altars of major gods in the..."

Wumu's eyes were shining brightly, but he obviously didn't listen to these words.

He glanced back and forth at the tall statues of gods around him, and said in wonder: "It is very rare to have such a god general among ordinary ruins. Now the eight god generals are gathered together, and there is even the six-armed golden body of God Nyx."

, this is a huge opportunity given to us by God! If I guess correctly, this place is probably a place of sacrifice and inheritance..."

The solemn look on White's face lingered for a long time, and he hesitated: "But, Master Wumu...the more this happens, the more I feel there is danger here."

"Captain White, have you seen that statue of God? Doesn't it look familiar to you?"

Wumu shook his head and pointed at the statue of the God of Thunder, the light in his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

After a pause, he continued: "Do you remember that the late Black Sea's top powerhouse 'Olisis' had a secret method of solving the mystery of 'Thunder God'? Is it exactly the same as this statue? If I am not wrong, he could

To understand the mysterious secrets of such divine power is probably to find the inheritance of the divine general who has found the ruins of Knicks somewhere."

"this..."

Hearing this, White's pupils shrank slightly, and he obviously recognized it.

At this time, Wumu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Captain White, you are about to cross the threshold of Sequence 5. With the support of our Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce, the success rate of advancement is very high. Is it possible that you don't want to understand the secret solution?

, to become the top powerhouse in the Black Sea? Now the opportunity is right in front of you, do you want to give up? "

"This...Master Wumu, what I mean is that this place is a bit weird. Let's get out first and then discuss the matter further."

White naturally knew what Young Master Umu meant. This guy probably wanted to save his elite men from helping him clear mines by saying so much.

The secret method of solving the mystery is something that all extraordinary people dream of, especially this kind of high-level transcendent who is about to advance... The strength of a Sequence 5 extraordinary person who has understood the secret method is completely different from one who has not understood it.

White was naturally very moved, but he didn't want his old subordinates to risk their lives.

Wumu was obviously eager to dig for treasures, and said with a disapproving look: "No! My ability tells me that it is very safe here."

A flash of struggle flashed in White's eyes, "Master Wumu, have you already investigated?"

Um nodded.

Seeing this, White thought about Wumu's special ability, hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision.

He ordered the mercenaries beside him: "Search the ruins carefully and be careful!"

"Yes, leader!"

Everyone took the order and left.

...

"The secret method... is really an irresistible temptation."

When Raymond heard the conversation between Naum and Wumu below, he put away his thoughts.

If there really is a mysterious inheritance in the altar below, this risk is worth taking.

Back then, "Thunder God" was known as the most domineering arcana form in the Black Sea. It was already considered a very rare first-class arcane solution in the game... Now there is not only Thor in this ruins, but also seven other similar divine generals.

Maybe there really is a relevant inheritance.

What's more, there is also a six-armed golden statue of the Knicks that looks even more powerful!

If a mysterious inheritance of "Arcane Thundergod" level can really be found in this ruins, the entire Black Sea will probably boil as soon as the news comes out.

Raymond didn't move rashly, didn't retreat, didn't go down blindly, and just quietly disappeared.

Isn’t it delicious to kill people and steal goods?

Do you still need to risk demining yourself?

...

"Arcana" is a very important power system in this extraordinary world.

The definition of "Arcane Solution" in the game is to give "Qi" a powerful soul and form. In layman's terms, it is the "Qi" of the war profession, and the "magic power" of the legal profession has reached a certain limit...and then

If you shape it into a form that you understand, you will get additional combat power attribute bonuses.

The shape of "Qi" can be shaped into anything you can understand, such as plants, monsters, even storms, oceans, volcanoes...

In the game, players only need to obtain relevant inheritance scrolls, and they can learn them automatically when the level conditions are met.

But in the real world, extraordinary people need to "understand" themselves!

A Sequence 5 transcendent chooses a perception of "existence" that his or her own scope of knowledge can understand. When you have a deep enough understanding of the rules contained in that "existence", you can condense "qi" into that form.

Sequence 5 is the threshold, Qi is the "ink", and perception is the "pen", and then extraordinary people use them to outline a painting that they are best at.

There is no limit to the shape Qi can shape, but it must be an existence that conforms to the rules of this world.

There are a huge number of Warcraft in the Great Voyage World, and there are many types of abilities to choose from... The rules contained in Warcraft at different levels are clearly layered, and the thresholds for understanding are clearly divided...

Therefore, what the extraordinary people in this world understand the most is the "Warcraft-type" arcane form.

In the classification of Warcraft, whether it is an extinct ancient species, a legendary phantom species, or an ordinary species that exists now, they are all creatures that currently exist or have existed in this world, and they exist within the rules of this world.

Just like when Philip's arcane form was the "Night Crow", his true energy form was completely modeled after the "Blood-devouring Spirit Crow" of the ancient phantom species. After he understood this arcane form, he

After acquiring the blood-sucking ability of the Blood-devouring Crow, the body can also transform into a black crow to gain super high immunity to damage, and its combat effectiveness has naturally skyrocketed...

Due to rule restrictions, extraordinary beings cannot fabricate something that does not exist in this world as a mysterious form.

For example, if you want to understand "Ultraman" as a mysterious form, then you need to go through a complex cognitive process to create an image that conforms to the rules of this world. Strength, ability, talent, soul... everything

Everything needs to be created out of thin air.

The one who can perfectly fabricate everything is not a human being, but God!

And the legend...

The "secret method of solving the mystery" is inherited from the Nyx civilization. This is the secret method given by the god Nyx to his followers to become stronger.

The eight divine generals in front of me are the super-powerful arcane forms of the "Illusion God System" created by the gods of Nyx!

...

"Yo? There seems to be a guy hiding there who is ready to reap the benefits..."

Sudden,

Wumu, who was studying the idol, suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He raised his eyebrows and revealed an evil smile.

And the next moment,

Raymond, who was standing on the stone steps in the distance, suddenly shrank his pupils.

Because at this time, he felt a strange and huge amount of subtle aura slowly condensing behind him.

In the blink of an eye, those tiny gravel-like auras condensed into a human form!

"insect?"
