This was the first time that Fang Plover could clearly see the whole thing, which was as tall as a mountain. It looks like a giant deep-sea multi-legged octopus, sitting quietly at the bottom of the pit, its torso leaning against the rock wall, and its oval head being as high as the cliff.
Layers of copper-plated armor cover its torso, reflecting a silky luster in the dim light. It is thick and majestic. The bulges of the scales are covered with soil, covered with shrubs and lichen, like a Layers of gardens. The huge eye sockets were slightly tilted outward at the connection between the trunk and the arms and legs. Under the moss covering, the inner sockets had lost their luster and were dark, like two tall caves.
The sky gradually brightened, with blue and purple dyed with a layer of morning glow. The morning light shone on its yellow shell, revealing bright purple and pink light with a hint of halo. Several redstarts flew over and landed in the forest above it, and a clear chirping of birds immediately sounded from the bottom of the pit.
Only then did Fang Plover realize that this behemoth seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Its twelve arms and legs ended with those ferocious giant insects. The four pairs of dark red eyes on its head had also lost their luster, and they were entangled at the bottom of the pit, motionless.
He stood there and carefully observed for a while before he was sure that the other party had stopped moving. Although I don’t know if it was the arrival of daylight that made this giant thing quiet down, or if it was for some other reason.
Fang Yu became bolder and temporarily put aside the matter of Miya and the dagger. After looking around, he realized that he had landed on a platform with layers of rubble of buildings underneath. He came to the edge again and looked down - it wasn't very steep.
He then grabbed the edge and slowly climbed down from there - it was a bit difficult without any help, and he couldn't help but miss the days when he was still in the adventure group. While thinking this, it took him a few minutes to get down to the bottom of the pit. The light at the bottom of the pit was still a little dark, and the air was full of the smell of earth and moss.
He looked to the north and saw the lake water hanging down from the cliff like a curtain, still falling in thin air. Under the rising sun, the water mist shone brightly, and a vague rainbow hung there. A pool of water had formed below. Fang Plover felt that his mouth was dry and his throat was burning. He hurriedly walked over, came to the edge of the pool, leaned over, picked up the water droplets, and took a big sip.
The feeling of the cold water made the pores all over his body relax, and his whole body felt refreshed, as if he was coming to life again, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath of comfort.
However, Fang Yu couldn't bear it and didn't dare to drink more.
This place is thousands of miles away from Kapka, and his regular medicines are also left in his backpack. If he unfortunately contracts any sudden illness, it will be bearable, but if he accidentally loses his life, it will be even funnier.
His stomach was growling with hunger, and he seemed to have very little energy left. Fortunately, he has always been in the habit of preparing early, and he still has a few biscuits stuffed in his trouser pockets, but this is also his last reserve food. Even if he is lucky enough to escape from here, he still doesn't know how to hike out of the vast ancient trees. ocean.
But he didn't worry too much. Anyway, he was used to taking one step at a time before speaking.
Fang Plover bit into half a piece of biscuit, chewed it and swallowed it, which finally made his stomach feel a little bit better. Then he raised his head and looked at the motionless giant.
He had almost already observed that there was no way up to the ground from the bottom of the pit. The only way now was to find a way to climb to the top of this big guy's head.
He knew that large constructed organisms like this generally had emergency passages provided for maintenance by craftsmen, and he didn't know whether the ancient alchemists had this habit. If not -
That would be too cheating.
Fang Plover walked around the small mountain-like structure of the cephalopod creature for a small half circle, and finally found the entrance at the bottom of it. He leaned over there, but the impact of the giant thing's fall caused the soil below to liquefy, making it muddy, making his trek very difficult.
Water is still rising in some places, and the water waves are flowing from north to south, which shows that the terrain in that direction is lower. The beak of a cephalopod is generally located under its body, where the arms and legs meet the trunk, and the entrance is also there - and those arm legs, the square plover carefully walked past these sleeping giant insect constructs.
He was a little worried at first, but soon relaxed and his curiosity took over again. It's a pity that he doesn't have a user interface, otherwise I would definitely take two pictures of them and put them on the community, which might cause a sensation. He walked over and touched their metal shells gently. After finding no response, he stroked them again. The touch was very unique.
Only then did Fang Yu realize that the ancient alchemists were really rich. The shell coating of this thing was not copper but pure gold, and the components inside were almost pure copper - because it was more suitable for the transmission of magic power. As for the need to balance the power of magic power and The strength part is mithril.
His mouth watered.
I even wanted to take two pieces apart, especially the mithril part, but after thinking about it, I still didn't dare to do it. Not to mention the lack of tools at hand, it would be fun if I woke up this big guy.
He patted the big guy's shell and sighed. He thought that this adventure was a waste of blood, not to mention the loss of three clockwork goblins, and in the end the money Scarpe gave him was lost under the ruins.
Not to mention the alchemy tools that he finally saved in his backpack.
Fang Plover's heart was full of negative impressions of the Jefflite Red Team and the Silver Forest Spear, but he just cursed in his heart. He had not lived enough to confront the Grand Guild head-on.
Of course, if given the chance, he wouldn't mind at all to cause some trouble, especially for the Jefflett red team, in order to avenge everyone.
There will always be a chance, Fang Yu thought to himself.
He just walked under the shadow of the hill, and suddenly the chirping of the red-tailed robins came from above his head. The square plover raised his head and happened to see these brown and red birds flying in groups.
He was somewhat surprised to see a figure appearing on the edge of the cliff in that direction.
At that moment, Fang Yu's heart seemed to skip a beat, and he immediately recognized who it was - it was Miya.
But the girl didn't notice him below. She raised her right hand to unbutton her shawl, pulled it off and threw it to the ground, revealing her exquisite figure underneath. The girl wore a thin-scale tights, with tall and straight breasts, and a unique star-shaped ornament between her collarbones.
She gathered her long silver hair with her backhand and tied it into a bundle under her neck and above her shoulder blades with a silver ring.
Then jump down.
Fang Plover was so frightened that he almost screamed out when he saw this scene, but he immediately saw Miya falling lightly, like a piece of feather, and finally disappeared into the forest above this behemoth.
"Wind, wind elements are in sync?" Fang Plover knows one of the rarest magic adaptability, wind magic adaptability. People with such adaptability will have a certain buoyancy in the sea, which is similar to the working principle of a floating ship.
People with such aptitude are natural sky knights. They are the top talents among the natives and the chosen ones. They are often the top talents that major forces compete to attract.
The Chosen are often jokingly referred to as the reserves for large fleets.
But not everyone can skillfully use this ability.
Except for those overlords in the sky, dragon knights and sky knights——
Is Miya really a dragon knight or aerial knight? Fang Yu couldn't help but touch his chest, the previous scene was still before his eyes. But the other party never showed this in front of others, and even he himself always thought that Miya was just an ordinary fire magic adaptor.
Only after seeing the other party's figure disappear completely did Fang Plover open his mouth but said nothing.
Only then did he realize that what he knew might not be everything about Miya.
It might not even be considered a mask, and a kind of unequal resentment could not help but arise in his heart, but before the anger went to his head, Fang Plover gradually calmed down.
Just like a young man's troubles, there will always be a moment when he suddenly realizes that all this is just wishful thinking.
He sighed slightly.
There is something empty in my heart.
But no matter what, he thought he would always ask the other person what he thought: Why did he leave at that time? Why did you give him the dagger? What is her purpose?
With this idea in mind - but it could also be that he simply wanted to see her again, Fang Pliong involuntarily quickened his pace.
He came to the entrance, grabbed the maintenance ladder on the arm shell and climbed up. The entrance was a tightly closed metal lid with a valve on it. He grabbed the valve with both hands and twisted it. There was an exhaust sound coming from the door, and then it opened with a snap.
Fang Yu put his hand into the door and pulled up with all his strength before hanging up. He couldn't help but feel glad that his injuries were better, otherwise he would not be able to enter the door.
After entering the interior of this huge constructed creature, Fang Yu couldn't help but be shocked.
Inside is a long maintenance channel, connecting the entrance from one end to the other. There are simple railings on both sides, and the bridge deck is covered with barbed wire. Looking down, there are rows of dark copper-colored gears below. The largest one can be as tall as two people, and the teeth are closely interlocked.
There is a larger brass counterweight on each side of the passage. It extends from above, and only half of it is visible due to the ceiling. One end is connected to the transmission connecting rod, which is only as thick as him and seven or eight times as long as him.
Beyond that is a dense network of pipelines, leading to nowhere.
There are three luminous crystals suspended above the head. They are actually held on the Guy Ring. The latter is made of leftover materials from the buoyancy engine of the aerospace ship. It looks like an ordinary ring, but it has a certain buoyancy. —Used as a lamp.
These dim lights are the only illumination in this passage.
Fang Plover then carefully crossed the maintenance bridge, his thick leather shoes stepping on the barbed wire and still dripping water mixed with sediment. The bridge made a creaking sound. Since the passage was very quiet, such a strange sound really made people feel numb.
What's more important is that he is afraid that this rusty barbed wire bridge will suddenly break. After all, there are too many film and television works with such bridges.
Fortunately, the fantasy did not happen. At the other end of the passage was an iron staircase that turned back and went up. This structure did not exceed Fang Plover's expectations.
When he was in Kapka, he visited the internal structure of the Type 87-A giant puppet of the Kaolin Kingdom. It was one of the most expensive teaching aids of the Kapka Craftsmen Association. Although the Numerin elves had long since disappeared in the era when that thing was born, The internal structures of the two are identical.
Including this maintenance bridge, and access to the upper level, there is little difference. It can be seen that although Aitaria has experienced several catastrophes in its history, the techniques of the ancient alchemists still seem to have been relatively intact to this day.
But the upper level is not the core power room as imagined - it is the lift compartment on the flying wing ship, and it is usually the place where the core crystal is placed in the ground magic guide - Fang Plover thought he could see the legendary ice Feldspar, but failed to do so.
Only then did he realize that this hill-like structure was much larger than the giant puppet of the Kaolin-Ithurian Alliance.
The second floor is also a maintenance passage. The corridor is filled with dust and dirt, and there is a smell of rust. No one has set foot in it for many years. Fang Yu even saw that several iron plates were growing together with the ground, and they were inseparable from each other.
There is actually a living area further up, a long walkway with house numbers on both sides. Fang Plover has not studied the words on it and cannot understand it. Some doors were still open, but there was nothing inside. There was no strange smell in the corridor except for the rust mentioned earlier. There was no smell of mold, and there was no skeleton in sight.
It seems that this big guy was left here intentionally, and its original owner at least did not leave in a hurry.
Fang Plover went deeper and deeper, becoming more and more curious about what the last instructions this big guy got were. Was its original owner the Numerin elves? Why did they leave their homeland and leave this thing behind?
He vaguely felt that Miya might know the truth, but then he thought about the other party's purpose - was her purpose the same as that of the Silver Forest Spear and Jeffrit?
Fang Yu was not a fool, and he vaguely guessed that Miya might have put everyone together, because neither side obviously gained anything from the fight last night.
Of course, let alone the Dawn Star Adventure Group who are cannon fodder.
Fang Yu suddenly wanted to know how Miss Scarpet and the others were doing outside now. How many people in the adventure group were still alive? Although those who died are destined to never return to this world.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have a UI and can't contact the outside world.
He stopped and pressed his hand on his chest. Scarpe's glow stone was still in his pocket, which made him feel a little relieved. It was at this time that he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the darkness in front of him.
Fang Yu was slightly stunned. He should be on the fourth or fifth floor now. He was still on the lower floor. Logically speaking, there should be some distance between him and Miya. Could it be that there is someone else inside this huge construct?
Is it Jeffrit or someone from the Silver Forest Spear? Or maybe the Númerin elves?
But what made him most uneasy was that he was afraid that the person coming was not a human being.
The voice quickly approached, and there was a fork in the road ahead. Fang Plover cautiously took a step back, hiding behind the wall and looking outside without daring to say anything.
Then he saw a white shadow walking quickly across the fork, and Fang Yu was slightly startled - he realized that it was clearly Miya's back.
He chased him out——
But the corridor was so dark that no one could be seen at all.
"Going so fast?" Fang Yu was a little dazed. He subconsciously opened his mouth to shout, but somehow managed to withdraw his voice. After thinking for a while, he closed his mouth and followed in that direction.
He was not walking slowly, and the floor made an empty sound in the darkness. After a while, Fang Plover suddenly realized that Miya couldn't have not heard his footsteps. He had just had this suspicion, but suddenly he saw that he had reached the end in front of him - the corridor led to the only room. I couldn't help but feel happy, now I finally didn't have to worry about losing it.
But after walking through the door, Fang Plover was stunned again.
He originally thought he could see Miya here, but there was a platform behind the door. It was empty outside. Where could there be any trace of the girl?
Fang Plover couldn't help but look left and right. The platform was made up of that kind of maintenance channel. There was a layer of barbed wire between the iron frames, and there were simple railings around it. It was pitch black in front of me, and I didn't know where it was below. There was a railing that had been knocked open and was bent outwards.
Did she jump from here?
Fang Yu couldn't help but froze when he saw it. Then there was no need to break the railing?
Fang Yu felt confused and couldn't help but leaned over to take a look. But before he reached the edge, he suddenly felt someone behind him push him hard.
He lost his center of gravity and fell out of the gap. His heart became cold. When he looked back, he just saw a figure formed by a white mist gradually emerging on the platform.
There was a burst of sharp laughter in the darkness, and the owner of that voice seemed extremely proud and arrogant.
"Hahahahaha..."
The laughter echoed in the dark space, looking very ethereal, and it didn't look like a human voice at all. Fang Yu broke into a cold sweat, and then he realized what kind of ghost he had encountered - a resentful spirit.
How could he forget these damn things?
In the shadowy underground of Aitaria, adventurers can always encounter these things unexpectedly. These negative energy creatures born of resentment will inadvertently read people's negative emotions and become their hearts. That uneasy look lured them step by step into the trap of death.
Fang Plover is very familiar with these things - from the descriptions of top selectors on TV, the Internet, and so on. He thought that he was definitely not comparable to those newcomers and would never fall into such a bad trick, but he didn't expect that when he encountered this thing for the first time, he would fall for it just because he was so confused.
He couldn't help but cursed secretly, these ghosts were too pervasive.
But there will be no next time.
This time it was definitely his bad luck, Fang Yu defended himself in his heart very embarrassedly.
Fortunately, he still had another chance to use the slow-fall component, otherwise he would have capsized in the gutter this time. Fang Piao glanced at the arrogant resentful spirit in an annoyed manner, thinking, "Just wait," and then pressed down the lever of the magic furnace with his backhand.
But he broke into a cold sweat under this pressure.
Where is his magic furnace?
Such a big magic furnace, he clearly put it there, but why is it missing?
Then he finally reacted and immediately looked back, and sure enough he saw a foggy figure floating in the air holding his magic furnace in one hand and smiling triumphantly at him.
"I——!" Fang Plover really cursed this time. Unfortunately, before he could say anything, he felt as if a wall suddenly stood up in the darkness and slapped him in the face. A loud bang made his vision go black.
Fang Yu lay on the floor and took a long time to catch his breath.
