Amidst the vibration of magic and the feeling of howling strong wind, Fula, who was sitting on the spot, slowly opened her eyes. The strange space feeling shrouded in emerald green light also covered the dragon lady's immediate retrieval. Between normal senses, there are also obvious interlacings of light and shadow appearing under these emerald green lights at the same time - the huge buzzing sound becomes more and more obvious under the gathering and rising of some kind of energy. , the originally peaceful underground space seemed to be enveloped in a layer of vitality. The white mist filling between the stone pillars of the underground ruins was also dyed with this energy representing life. The same emerald green turned into an obvious flowing wind passing through the gaps of the stone pillars of different sizes that were lined up side by side, but exuding the same gleaming light at this time: "This is -"
"The ruins are activated!"
A clearly different dialogue appeared in the voice that echoed in her ears, and the words clearly did not seem to be spoken to her: "Look! The ruins have finally started! If I had known that this would happen, I should have put my All the old potions that have been treasured for hundreds of years are thrown in the face of these shabby devices... Ouch!"
"An old potion that has been treasured for hundreds of years? You have the nerve to say it! It is impossible for ordinary magic potions to have this level of magical energy! Did you mix something into it that shouldn't be mixed in?"
"Where is it? It's not what you think! It's just that when I was studying those wind stones before, I secretly ground some powder and kept it - wait, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, just count us Did I steal a piece of the number of wind stones that the team originally had?"
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth again, and the golden dragon named Fula then shook her head helplessly. She slightly sensed her current physical condition, then stood up and walked towards the place where the two figures were still bickering. He walked in the direction: "You two, you did a good job."
"Fura? Are you awake?"
I don’t know whether it was because he saw the strong reinforcements resurrected or because he found a chance to get rid of the embarrassing predicament at hand. Duan Qing, who was wearing a gray robe and hanging a broken arm, hurriedly ran over with a smile: "Recovered so quickly? As expected of him. A dragon with great physical strength!"
"I haven't recovered much energy. I was awakened by these strange movements you made." Recovering her previous calm and indifferent look, Fula pointed at the green emerald green that was gathering above the heads of several people. Liufeng: "Have you found the real secret of this ruins?"
"I can't talk about the real secret, but it is indeed a big step forward." Duan Qing shook his head in embarrassment, and then put on a confident and proud look: "Although The method used may be a bit crude, but at least we have found the hidden meaning of this ruin, and therefore found a way to activate it."
"Sure enough, this is the home ground of the wind element."
He spread his hands behind him and gestured towards the depths of the ruins as if he was demonstrating the results. The radiant stone pillars scattered in the distance of the caves of the ruins also seemed like an orchestra starting to perform. Generally, they flash alternately within everyone's field of vision. The flowing wind that came out of nowhere kept blowing between these stone pillars. The emerald green that represented the magical energy of the wind element also seemed to be guided and gradually disappeared towards the depths of the cave. I felt it. Fulla, who was attracted by this suction, then frowned and took the lead in retracting her sight from the dark depths in that direction: "So the wind stones that were scattered here before were not used to provide this ruins. The source of energy?”
"It should be so, otherwise the wind stone should not have the effect of absorbing and isolating, but the effect of releasing." In reply to the other party's words, Duan Qing then also weighed the metal cube in his hand: "In fact, this The purpose of the thing is opposite to that of the Wind Stone - its existence seems to play the role of 'energy source'."
"When I took out this thing earlier, I thought it was a little weird." After staring at the metal cube in Duan Qing's hand for a while, Fulla continued to ask in a low voice: "Have you determined its purpose?"
"Of course, we even used it to find a prophecy - or an explanation." Pointing to the oval-shaped rock behind several people that had returned to silence, Duan Qing shook his head and replied in a low voice: "Explanation. The word emperor is mentioned in it, which is very similar to the content of the prophecies we have heard before, and there is also something called the Spring of Elements..."
"Fountain of Elements?"
"Why, Fulla has heard of this name?"
As if they found a clue in the other party's questioning expression, Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing both focused their attention on Fula: "What is the Spring of Elements?"
"It represents the place with the most prosperous elemental activities on this continent. It can even be considered as the starting point of all elements on this continent." Shaking her head slightly, Fulla replied in a calm voice: "From the known elements Judging from the power displayed by the springs, it is not an exaggeration to call those places the energy sources of the continent's elements. The purity of the elemental energy erupted from those places can be comparable to the most perfect magic gems, and it has never stopped. signs.”
"So far, there are two places that can be called 'Elemental Spring'." Her voice paused for a moment when she said this, and her golden pupils looking at Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing were also full of strangeness. Feeling: "One is the land of fire located in the extreme north of the Free Continent, and the other is the whirlpool located deep in the endless sea. These two places can be called 'water' and 'fire' on the continent. The source of two types of elemental energy.”
"Well, there is such a concept." Duan Qing frowned tightly, then suddenly clapped his hands as if he remembered something and said: "It sounds like the same situation we are encountering now! "
"That's right, since the continent of wind has long-lasting strong winds, there is a high possibility that there is a spring of 'wind' attribute elements here." Understanding what Duan Qing wanted to say, Xue Linghuan on the side Bing also lowered his head and thought: "The legendary 'sacred mountain' that countless tribesmen on the continent cannot reach may be the location of another elemental spring."
"But this is not consistent with history." Shaking her head and denying what the two people said before, Fula, who stood quietly in front of the two people, then continued with an indifferent expression: "According to the historical records of the Dragon Clan, the existence of the Spring of Elements requires It is older than any civilization that has existed on the continent. Judging from the history described by these tribes on the grassland, the history of that sacred mountain, as well as the entire continent of wind, is really too short."
"This reason is actually easy to explain: there have been gaps in the history of the Wind Continent." Spreading his hands to answer the other party's question, the expression on the face of the gray-robed magician gradually became serious: "But even if the history is not Taking into account the factor of faults, there is another answer to this question——"
"You just mentioned only two known elemental springs. Even if you take into account the wind elemental springs that exist on the Wind Continent, where is the location of the other elemental spring?"
He blinked his eyes, and at the same time looked at the face of the slightly stunned Fulla with eyes full of expectation. The latter seemed to have noticed the existence of the problem from the words of the gray-robed magician, her golden eyes The helplessness between them also began to show: "Indeed, in the final analysis, it is not certain whether the concept of elemental spring makes sense. Whether the elemental spring really exists on this continent is currently an unverifiable statement..."
"But no matter what, we just found clues to the Spring of Elements." Pointing to the surface of the stone not far away from them, Duan Qing once again showed a comforting smile: "As long as we can find the right guidance, By following the guide and completing the exploration of this ruins, we may be able to solve the puzzle and gain the qualifications to go to a certain elemental spring."
"Okay, let's put the other issues aside for now." The woman who looked at the Dragon Clan still remained silent. Xueling Huanbing on the side also took the lead in breaking the unspeakable atmosphere: "We still give priority to solving this problem. The mystery of the place - do you have any new clues?"
"Since the energy of the wind element can activate the entire ruins, the magic of the wind element will naturally become the key to unlocking the other settings of this ruins." Duan Qing pointed to the flow of elements that were still passing in front of him. He put away the metal cube in his hand: "As for how it should be applied...first we need to do a little research."
As he said these words, he walked slowly to the front of one of the stone pillars. Countless magic lines activated by the existence of some kind of energy were also flowing back and forth on the surface of the stone pillar, and many appeared in the middle from time to time. Incomprehensible words and symbols: "For example, what is written on this stone pillar means-"
"These are ancient magical texts." Before he could finish his words, Fulla's voice suddenly sounded behind his ears: "You actually know them?"
"Well, I can just vaguely guess the meaning." He hurriedly changed his words and let out a dry laugh. Duan Qing then turned his gaze to one side: "Surge... blow... forward... ah, I guess it's above It should mean that if we use the power of the wind element to blow it, it will reveal the true path."
"Really?" A suspicious look flashed between her golden eyes. Fula stepped forward and stood behind Duan Qing with her hands folded: "No wonder I haven't been able to figure it out despite all the attempts - you come Give it a try.”
"Uh, what kind of magic is the surge of wind?" Duan Qing asked the white-haired woman next to him in a low voice. Duan Qing then withdrew his help-seeking gaze when Xue Ling Huanbing's face showed a funny reaction: "Forget it. Well, anyway, it should be a skill like hair drying, so I’ll give it a try first.”
"Wind spell."
Several slow gestures flashed in front of him one by one. After closing his eyes and chanting for a while, he pushed forward with one hand, and a breath of wind with the same emerald green gradually flowed from between Duan Qing's arms. It burst out and instantly blew on the surface of the rock pillar in front of you: "How is it? Is there any reaction——"
Buzz!
An obvious surge of energy then sounded in everyone's ears, and the radiance and shining runes flowing on the surface of the stone pillar turned into a combined energy stream that converged in an invisible direction under their feet. Go, the flow in the same direction as the green wind in the air stopped suddenly just before leaving Duan Qing's field of vision, and then slowly extinguished like a fading light: "What, what's going on?"
"Maybe the method is wrong?" Duan Qing, who muttered this sentence and scratched his head, then took the lead to take a step forward: "If it's because my magic value is too low, I won't be able to solve it. There’s a way.”
"I can help you solve the magic problem, as long as you give me enough time to rest." Golden light flashed in front of him, and with it, Fulla suddenly appeared in front of Duan Qing where the light disappeared. The figure: "But... I'm afraid the reason is not because of this."
"Look." She pointed at the soles of the feet, which Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing, who had caught up later, were also looking at. At this time, the surface of the magic lines showed an obvious sense of fracture: "I'm afraid it's because the age and time are too long. , so the energy transmission can no longer be completed."
"Damn it, it turns out we have to start with the repair work first?"
Duan Qing sighed deeply, and then slowly squatted down as if accepting his fate: "Okay, then you can go and take a look elsewhere first, and I will be responsible for repairing this section of the circuit."
"After all, it is your specialty. I am embarrassed to take away your credit." He smiled and patted the gray-robed magician on the back shoulder. Xueling Huanbing then turned around and walked towards other directions in the underground cave: "Stand beside you. It will also increase your pressure, won't it? So I'd better stay away as soon as possible... huh? "
Noticing something unusual in front of her, the white-haired woman suddenly closed her mouth, and her gradually leaving footsteps, along with that strange face, slowly came to another corner of the underground ruins: " What's wrong?"
"You and him - did you follow that prophecy?" Also appearing in the dim sight of this corner, a dragon woman named Fula asked in a low voice: "Do you want to become the fourth An emperor?"
"The fourth emperor?" Seemingly stunned by the other party's question, Xue Ling Huan Bing then shook his head with a funny look on his face: "What are you talking about? Emperor? Even in his previous life, he failed to achieve it. Opportunity, let alone present——"
"Then what's going on with the power of blood on your body?" She raised her hand to interrupt Xueling Huanbing's words, and Fulla's expression became extremely serious at this time: "His ancient disc -"
"What's going on with that Wheel of Fortune?"
