Chapter 4 The Place of Sleep
At this time, in the underground secret passage, only a loud bang was heard! The engraved seal in Francis' hand immediately turned into a dazzling ball of light and crashed into the crack! With a crash, the dense sequence runes floating on the stone wall all stopped moving in an instant. At this moment, Francis immediately took out a small crystal ball from his sleeve and held it tightly in his hand.
Paladin's pupils shrank instantly. Even though he was some distance away, he could still feel the huge energy swinging back and forth between the runes, like sharp knives swaying his cheeks! "Arcane Wave!"
Francis yelled. Before he finished speaking, a stream of smoke like green smoke instantly flowed out from the middle of the stopped runes. In an instant, it merged into a wave like a sea wave and pounced hard on Francis and the nervous Feng Lier in the distance behind him!
Paladin's hand tightened, and a thin stream of sweat immediately flowed from his forehead. Although he knew that the arcane waves were not very destructive, this was a sealing formation set up by the strongest alchemists from hundreds of continents. A total of 40,000 sequences of runes! You know, even if it is a good staff, it is already amazing to have twenty sequence runes. As for the arcane waves released by the 40,000 sequence runes, even I wouldn't believe it if I said it wasn't dangerous.
Buzzing... Seeing that the smoke-like waves were about to crash onto Francis. But at this moment, the crystal ball he held in his hand instantly emitted white light, and turned into a light shield to cover his entire body. The waves that came as expected pounced on him without any suspense... There was no sound, no sound of collision or tearing destruction!
Silence, very silence. Paladin felt his eyes flicker, and the smoke and dust of the waves disappeared instantly. Just when Paladin was wondering if he had seen it wrong, there was a sudden crash on both sides of the entire stone path in front of him, and a large amount of stone powder swished down. The ground was immediately covered with gray powder!
Feng Lier, who looked at all this in shock, stood up tremblingly, and her originally sweet voice was trembling: "Professor...Professor! Francis!" Feng Lier felt a little scared when she saw Francis motionless. Although she is an alchemy instructor herself, her expertise in alchemy and her experience in studying Ripley's Scrolls are far inferior to Francis. Once Francis dies, let alone what problems will arise after entering the seal, it will be difficult just to successfully enter the seal.
But at this moment, Francis suddenly moved. "Ahhh...it hurts me so much..." Francis turned his body with difficulty, and you could clearly see thin drops of blood seeping from the skin of his arm. But the crystal ball in the palm of his hand had lost its dazzling brilliance and turned into stone powder on the ground, turning into smoke and falling to the ground.
"My great Enos! Professor, you scared me to death!" Feng Lier saw that although Francis was bleeding, it was just a skin injury. There was a winner's smile on his face. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, patted his towering chest, and smiled with a coquettish look on his face. Unexpectedly, Francis turned back angrily and reprimanded: "Feng Li'er, pay attention to your words and deeds! We are alchemists, free masons who pursue the truth, how can we talk about the God of Light Enos... Tsk, tsk, tsk, really It hurts, what a pity this Bamir Guardian Crystal..."
Feng Li'er automatically ignored Francis's scolding and looked at the crystal powder on the ground with some surprise. He covered his mouth with unconcealed wonder and exclaimed: "Bamir's Guardian Crystal? Professor, where did you get such a sky-high price magic item?" ?" "You care about me! Come on, the seal is completely harmless now... There is not much time left, so let's go."
Francis obviously didn't want to mention the origin of this magic prop, and immediately pulled Feng Lier towards the stone wall without hesitation. Paladin, who was hiding far away, had just confirmed that he had not been harmed, but immediately saw Francis and the two melting into the seal and disappearing in front of the door.
Paladin licked his lips, but did not follow immediately. He had to wait, wait for a while. In his opinion, the relationship between Francis and Feng Lier was not as good as shown. Using oneself to save others, Paladin faced this kind of power in the realm of gods, and even the smallest drop of three feet was not enough to describe his greed. If he were one of Francis, he would definitely find an opportunity to get rid of the other party. After all, the temptation is too great!
Before the temptation of God's power, everyone will lose the constraints and standards formed by morality. think about it! Once you gain this kind of power, the morality that binds you is nothing more than a ridiculous toy! Because God is above morality!
"It's time!" Paladin's eyes widened, a full ten minutes had passed. At this time when time is precious, ten minutes is already the biggest waste. Paladin stood up without hesitation and rushed forward. With a Xiyi look on his face, he ran into the sealed door and blended in...
"Ugh..." For a moment, Paladin seemed to fall to the ground from a very high altitude, and his whole body suffered from such a severe feeling of weightlessness. As soon as he felt his feet hit the ground, Paladin, who had reached his limit, immediately fell to his knees and vomited in a very embarrassed manner. As soon as he came to his senses, Paladin was immediately shocked by the spectacle in front of him!
The cave is so huge that the edges are almost invisible, and the ground and stone walls are covered with huge mushrooms. Strangely, these mushrooms emit a soft azure glow. This huge cave, which was originally dark, reflected a fantastic blue color. In disbelief, Paladin stood up slowly and looked at the huge mushroom that was a head taller than himself. He suddenly discovered that there were many blue particles flowing in the head and rhizome of the mushroom, and in the translucent rhizome. . And these blue lights are emitted from these particles. Countless particles are emitted!
Paladin raised his head blankly and saw that the hundred-meter-high stone wall above his face was covered with this strange mushroom. Bursts of blue light make this cave look so beautiful and mysterious.
And just when Paladin was silent in this beautiful scenery, an arrogant laughter instantly brought him back to reality: "Francis, you didn't expect it. I dropped the big corrosion scroll you spent a lot of money to buy. Instead, it fell on me! Hahahahaha! Old pervert, how does it feel to be under your own spell?"
Paladin was shocked, immediately lowered his body, and moved towards the sound quickly and quietly. Hiding behind a clump of mushrooms, he suddenly saw Feng Lier, whose shoulder was bleeding, standing proudly in front of Francis who was lying on the ground, his body turning green, his skin and flesh gradually festering, and his face full of pain!
Paladin's face unconsciously showed a smile as expected, but he was immediately attracted by the things behind the two of them! It was a very small altar. Four human-shaped stone statues knelt on the ground, raising their hands above their heads. He looked like a pious servant of God. In the hand of the stone statue was a simple iron box, with an ancient and broken scroll on it. They all said that they were the Ripley Scroll!
Paladin's eyes were instantly ecstatic and greedy! Staring at the scroll in the iron box, he wanted to fly down and take it away. But he knew it was not the right time and had to be patient. Neither Francis nor Feng Lier is someone he can face the enemy head-on... So he has to be patient, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow! A fatal blow without mercy!
"Ripley, wait. One more moment, one more moment and I will hug you!" Paladin muttered to himself crazily, holding a knife in his hand and lowering his body lower.
