Chapter 480: Sound Transmission from Underground

A barren area unique to the scars of the world, the wasteland here is mostly gray land, dotted with tenacious weeds that pop up from time to time .

Even in such a land that is highly infested by the abyss, many tough weeds can still grow tenaciously.

Even some weeds have quietly evolved the ability to expel the breath of the abyss.

In this wasteland, you can see huge rocks collapsed everywhere, almost completely blending into the wasteland.

Only a few sections protrude from the soil to reveal that what is underneath and the rubble were once part of a building.

But such ruins are the most common landform landmarks throughout the world.

After all, an empire once sat here.

In addition, there are some tombstones and corpses.

From the huge rocks, we can see that these were traces of some buildings that once collapsed here.

Some broken tombstones record that humans have lived here for an unknown period of time.

As for the scattered corpses, there is too much information to verify.

After all, it's dangerous here.

It is so dangerous that if you don’t have the strength to reach Stage 3, it is best not to leave the coastal cities.

Alka and his companions arrived at the area shown on the map.

The goal was very clear, and they came directly to the abandoned buildings in the wasteland.

The buildings here are extremely badly damaged.

But it can also be seen from these severely damaged buildings that this group of buildings has been around for thousands of years.

It can even extend to the time period before the Saralan Empire was destroyed.

These ruined buildings are left in various places in the wasteland. Some are just bare stones, while some at least have vague murals and words on the exterior.

Alka and the others were scattered all over the field, searching for information that might be useful.

Alcaciadetti and Lucilia on his shoulders worked as a team to explore and search around an area of relatively well-preserved ruins.

Lucelia was mainly analyzing the styles of these buildings and the texts on them to figure out which era they were from.

Alka and Xiadaiti are just a side effect.

Looking at Lucilia who was concentrating on her analysis, Alka found a random stone and sat down.

"It's a little strange to find no demons ambushing in a place like this."

Hearing Alka's words, Xia Daiti, who was standing next to him, looked down at him and then rolled his eyes.

"Shall I catch a few for you?"

Hearing Xia Deti's complaints, Alka shook his head: "No, that would be too much trouble for you."

“Is that the point?”

“Don’t worry about these small details, but it’s rare that we are out treasure hunting, and there are no demons ambushing us. It’s really rare.

Could it be that the offensive methods I used when I advanced previously consumed too much energy from the Devouring Mouth?"

All in all, they have been in World Scar for three years.

As long as they appear in the wild wasteland, there are countless attacks and ambushes ordered by the Devouring Mouth.

They have almost become accustomed to it, because here in the Devouring Mouth, there is really no need for any conspiracy or trickery.

We can only use hard tactics against Aka and the others, but the problem is that the hard tactics that can kill Alka are not enough to transport to the rear.

He was stuck in a kind of endless loop, and could only keep shooting the demons to try to harass Alka, trying to see if there would be any results.

This is also the reason why Alka and the others stayed here. Apart from the need to stay vigilant at all times and being mentally exhausted from too much fighting, there is almost no major danger.

This time, there was no ambush set by the Devouring Mouth, and I missed it for some reason.

“It may be because the previous ambush could still cause some disturbance. But now that your strength has increased, coupled with the border with the Dreamland, the chaos here has decreased.

After all, I might give up. After all, these things need to be consumed.”

With the bordering of the dream kingdom and the expansion of the Alka dream kingdom, the corresponding reality naturally becomes more and more stable.

After all, even the cracks in the world's scars are shrinking.

Alka's strength has increased again.

It is almost impossible to cause fatal damage to Alka and others inside the magic-proof wall now.

Unless the crack was suddenly widened, there is almost no possibility.

In this case, it was normal for the Devouring Mouth to give up rationally. However, this did not mean that he would not target Alka. Once he found a flaw, he would attack without hesitation, but he would not make any other unnecessary moves.

After a while, Xia Daiti and the others will all advance to stage 6.

Maybe they could risk some danger and leave the scars of the world to go sailing.

After all, the excessive increase in Dream's strength allowed Alka to temporarily increase his strength to the seventh stage or above, in this case.

Even in the swallowing mouth of the outside world, it is difficult to cause him too much trouble.

His body was still in the World Scar, which was the biggest limitation. And this also limited his power even more.

As a result, the power he could extend to the outside world was also weakened.

However, if you want all your companions to advance to the sixth stage, it will take at least one year of meditation.

Alka, who was chatting, suddenly felt a push on his butt.

Then he saw Lucilia pushing his buttocks, looking up at him: "Get out of the way, get out of the way."

Hearing this, Alka stood up quickly.

This state shows that Lucilia is still concentrating.

Sure enough, as soon as Alka moved aside, Lucilia squatted directly on the boulder where he had just sat, observing something.

Apparently Alka happened to sit on a stone that contained information.

This also made the two of them lose the desire to chat, and they squatted beside and watched Lucelia's work carefully.

Lucelia was seen looking around the sphere, and then her eyes suddenly turned white, and a faint soul breath emerged from her eyes.

Then he muttered some strange language.

The language was low and dark, with a tone like howling and cursing.

The whole language seems very strange, but catchy enough.

But as I was talking, it felt like it was becoming very hazy.

As these words were chanted continuously, the soul in Lucillia's eyes gradually floated out and then wrapped around the boulder.

What’s interesting is that a faint breath of soul also emerges from the boulder.

These soul auras floated and intertwined, as if conveying some kind of information, but for Alka and the others, being able to see such a faint soul aura was already the limit.

Only Lucelia seems to be able to know some remaining information from these soul auras.

Lucilia closed her eyes as if to absorb this information, then she nodded and said, "I roughly understand the age of these ruins."

"Tell me about it." Alkaton asked curiously from the side.

If the words are spoken accurately, the information about the treasure will definitely be expanded.

Lucilia nodded and said, "The Saralan Empire lasted for thousands of years from its establishment to its collapse. This was an empire that lasted for a very long time, and naturally, it also changed countless rulers and power classes.

Chaos, civil strife and division are inevitable in this process, and not just once.

Around the year 3114 of the Saralan Empire calendar, a dispute broke out over the throne.

For an empire that has existed for such a long time, it would have already become corrupt and rigid by this time.

Even before this, the Saralan Empire had already been reorganized once due to war."

Alka nodded as he listened to Lucelia's story.

He understands this history.

After all, this is an empire that has existed for thousands of years, and it is human nature to want an empire to continue for that long.

Except that this world really has gods and because of its unique geographical conditions.

Also because people in this world generally have longer life spans.

And there are rarely any real major battles.

The empire's downfall was largely due to internal reasons.

Because of internal corruption, the country could no longer survive and collapsed around 1500.

Thereafter, there was nearly 300 years of war among the warlords, after which the country was reorganized, still continuing the name of the Saralan Empire.

This is an inevitable cycle.

This cycle of splitting and combining has actually happened two or three times in the corrupt country of Saralan.

It may be because the name Saralan is too important that the country still uses this imperial name even after its reorganization.

As for the internal power system, it has been changed over and over again.

Just describe it in brief language.

The ethnic group is still the same ethnic group, but the country is no longer the same country it once was.

Although it is called the Saralan Empire, because of this cycle, there is no problem in considering it as several different countries and dynasties in chronological order.

It’s just because the name Saralan is too important to this race and this land. It’s almost ingrained in their souls and is the core meaning of their nation.

"The conflict at this time was caused by the three sons of the emperor at that time.

His three children are all heroes of their generation, and none of them would be inferior to others.

So they split into three different national factions on the territory that was once the Saralan Empire.

There was a chaotic war that lasted for 160 years, until it was finally ended by the victory of the second prince.

Ironically, the second prince was only on the throne for 10 years before he died of old age, injuries and stress from the war.

"So this relic belongs to the second prince?" Alka asked from the side.

"Idiot, how is that possible? This belongs to the eldest prince." Lucilia said.

“According to the division of power at the time, the area we are in now should be the capital where the eldest prince was at that time.

This relic may be a relic from that era.”

After hearing Lucilia's simple answer, the two of them suddenly understood and nodded.

Looking at the two people's feedback, Lucillia nodded with satisfaction.

Lucelia then began to jump around in the ruins again, explaining to the two some of the information she had obtained.

Including what the building was used for and what led to its destruction.

Then they began to move towards ruins in other places, including places where others thought there was information.

After walking around, everyone gathered together, waiting for Lucelia to give a conclusion.

After all, among them, only Lucilia would carefully observe, analyze and read the entire Saralan Empire's thousands of years of history when she had nothing to do.

When they read books, they are reading useful books that cover certain aspects that they need.

Lucelia simply loves to watch.

Although she may not be able to remember all the history, she can basically remember the representative figures and rulers of important nodes.

This is the value of Lucelia as a mobile library.

Through Lucelia's summary of this large area of ruins, almost all the information that could be expressed was collected.

If you want to collect more, you can only dig deeper into the ground.

After listening, Alka took the map out of his hand.

Look at that light.

Seeing Alka's behavior, everyone shut their mouths silently and kept quiet.

Although Alka has not explained in detail to everyone what his treasure hunting ability is, everyone has been with Alka day and night for more than ten years.

There are enough treasure hunts.

Basically, the approximate range of Alka's treasure hunting ability has long been inferred from his various behaviors.

For example, for Alka, the size and precision of the map is not important, but it must be accurate.

That is to say, if you draw a mountain like this on the map and mark a tree like this, then the corresponding thing must exist.

Therefore, maps that are too detailed may not be useful. On the contrary, those rough maps may be more favored by Alka.

Because at least the drawings are accurate.

And for treasure hunting, the most important information.

For Alka, the important point is not the whole information, but some key words, or the key information introduction.

Alka seemed to be able to use this key information to expand upon information that they had never known, information that they had never found or known.

Perhaps this is the Son of God, after all, he is the child of God.

That’s right, in the eyes of everyone, Alka is basically the child of the Virgin Mary.

This is not just Alka's usual performance, but also includes what everyone gets from communicating with others from time to time.

After all, you have to know that there are not only Alka and other three people from the Holy Mother Church on the ship.

People from all churches are here.

They were even able to learn some rumors about Alka from some of their respective churches.

As people who spend every day with Alka, rumors that may seem outrageous to outsiders seem to be true to them.

For example, Alka received several revelations from the Virgin Mary and even met her in person.

Moreover, for Alka, who met the Virgin Mary in person, he was not excited at all, and seemed indifferent afterwards.

Alka never prayed, and never made any sincere prayer to the Virgin Mary.

But the holy light energy of the Virgin Mary on him is almost visible to the naked eye.

And important ceremonies for Alka always involve the Virgin Mary.

For example, a few years ago, when he accepted the allegiance of those ghosts, the Virgin Mary even personally bestowed some blessings on those ghosts.

If this isn't the Son of God, then what is this?

But they wouldn't say anything unless Alka said it.

Perhaps this is Alka's secret.

Alka didn't quite understand what everyone was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely be in a dilemma.

But we have to say that there is nothing wrong with what they think in a certain situation.

At this moment, Alka's attention was all focused on the map.

【return】

[Difficulty: Saralan - Historian]

【Popularity: 363】

[Treasure information: The treasure called Return is placed in a relic that belongs to modern history even in the Saralan Empire.

To enter the ruins and find the correct entrance, this information is hidden in the history of the Saralan Empire.

The ruins are the remains left by one of the protagonists of the Second Conflict.

This is the remains of a memorial ceremony, and it seems that there is more to the remains than what it appears on the surface. There seem to be hidden places inside and underground.

Return means the return of time. 】

Alka looked at the newly expanded entries on the treasure information. Although they were not perfect yet, they basically showed Alka the location of the treasure.

Right under these ruins.

As for why, Xia Daiti couldn't scan it.

That’s because as long as it’s an underground space, if it’s one that’s relatively important, basically all kinds of shielding scanning materials, or spell arrays, will be used to shield the exploration.

For example, the underground area of the Moon Worship Cult’s temple .

After all, there are tens of thousands of strange treasures in this world, and there are countless spells. There are innumerable ways to explore the secrets of the underground and the secrets of space.

In order to deal with these measures, various types of protection will naturally be used in certain hidden areas.

Dreams are one of them.

After understanding, everyone will naturally start to take action.

As long as people know there is an entrance underground, it will be very easy for others to find it once they have a target.

We soon found the entrance.

"Based on the relics here and the surrounding geological conditions, it is most likely that there is an underground layer underneath."

Simon said, stamping his feet.

After getting Simon's confirmation, everyone started digging.

Soon, through some observation and analysis, they dug up a collapsed entrance.

At the entrance, we saw man-made stone walls and hanging lights.

The entrance is slanted and blocked by collapsed rubble on top. The stairs going down should be the entrance leading down.

Everyone passed through the entrance, and a depressing atmosphere came from inside.
