In this ruined wasteland.
As far as the eye can see, there are "rags" collected by Bai Zhou, as well as tombstones erected by Bai Zhou himself.
There are those from Laia, and there are also those from the soldiers...
When Bai Zhou first arrived in the wasteland, he was filled with fear, but now when Bai Zhou sees these familiar things, he feels a subtle sense of intimacy.
Compared to the living world on the surface of Blue Star, this dead world seems warmer and quieter.
The light from Blood Moon shines on your body, giving you a warm feeling like a fire.
Put all the "junk" that had been collected into Trojan Horse, and then Bai Zhou dug up a lot of black "ashes".
Make money, don't shiver.
Bai Zhou is the hard-working Ruins Realm Miner.
But no matter how warm it is, Adventurer will not stay somewhere forever.
He wants to continue exploring.
After a while, I took a final look around to make sure I didn't miss anything...
Bai Zhou took out the heavy token from his arms.
The "Shield and Sword" pattern that symbolizes Adventurer on the token seems to shimmer under the light of Blood Moon.
Some kind of vague connection exists between the token and the sky.
Bai Zhou no longer hesitated and activated the spirituality he filled in the token.
"Zheng!!"
On the token, the swords screamed together, as if they came to life.
The moment when the sword blade collides with the blade and sparks are produced--
A Rainbow Light Pillar descends from the sky!
This beam of light spreads out in the sky and drops accurately to the end of the cliff in the distance, like a Rainbow Bridge that connects the sky and the earth.
Bai Zhou has a feeling that as long as he walks near that Rainbow Bridge, he will be directly led to the sky by Rainbow Bridge.
Even, it was "Sun Temple" who was directly introduced to Skeleton General Ale!
However, that cliff...
Among the ruins everywhere, a winding path leads directly to the end of the cliff.
Occasionally, a red light illuminates the abyss under the cliff, which turns out to be the meteor flame rolling down from Sky City.
As these fireballs pass by, piles of ashes and broken buildings along the path are illuminated.
--This is the place where Bai Zhou once stopped and did not dare to set foot easily.
Because he believed that there would be no shortage of characteristic traps of local civilization.
But now the colorful and shining picture has solved the doubts Bai Zhou had when he first arrived here--
At that time, he felt strange why the traces of army chariots and horse hooves suddenly stopped when they reached the cliff, as if everyone had jumped off the cliff.
It turns out that the cliff is "Teleport Anchor" that leads them back to the city..."
"Da..."
Stepping on gravel and gravel.
Carefully step onto this winding path and Bai Zhou explore towards Rainbow Bridge at the end of the cliff.
Sure enough, as Bai Zhou expected, this trail is full of traps.
Just after taking three steps, the ground beneath my feet suddenly sank half an inch, and three Poisoned Crossbow Bolt flew from the side.
Seven steps away, nearly transparent Tripwire are intertwined, connected to bronze bells whose functions are unknown.
Ten steps away, a rusty Iron Lantern hung on a tree, covered with terrifying spikes that seemed to be specially designed to "swallow" human heads.
There are also several Gargoyles half-buried in the soil. Those that breathe fire and those that spit poison have a silent hallucinogenic effect when you see them.
... It seems that when the army withdrew, they prepared a surprise for the incoming Zombie Army.
One level of mechanism is connected to another, and even though many of them have been abandoned, they are still very scary, making Bai Zhou very nervous.
The familiar feeling is back.
Fortunately, Bai Zhou is no longer what it used to be.
The young and innocent boy has disappeared long ago, and now the ones who appear are Special Management Department A+ Fugitive, the experienced Adventurer, the skilled Demolition Expert, and the half-Trap Master--
While picking up the "ashes", I even missed a few Trap Item that were barely usable, and Bai Zhou finally gradually found their way to the end of the cliff.
"Da..."
A few gravels fell, and there was an abyss beneath my feet. In front of me was the colorful Rainbow Bridge.
"Buzz!"
As if sensing the approaching token, Rainbow Light Pillar suddenly produced an irresistible pulling force, pulling Bai Zhou's body into it.
Flying...
Everything under his feet was shrinking, and as Bai Zhou's field of vision gradually increased, he felt that he was also extremely small.
This feeling is difficult to describe, but Bai Zhou experienced the feeling of getting rid of gravity for the first time, and his whole body flew towards Blood Moon and Inverted Giant City in the sky.
Although Black and White Wings did not grow, and there was no flying Magic Carpet and broom, it still achieved its first flight in life.
It's a pity that this feeling didn't last long. Before Bai Zhou could understand it, his feet had already stepped on the earth again.
Everything in front of me has undergone earth-shaking changes.
--"earth-shaking" in the true sense.
"Is this...?"
Blood Moon could no longer be seen, and the sky in his sight turned into a blood-red and broken "earth".
The scene turned into ruins, and everywhere you looked, there were broken Relief Stone Pillar and dilapidated towers.
The streets were split open, only the half-length statue of the god was left, the broken Terracotta Warrior, the crooked city gate, the dry moat and the buildings covered with rubble...
In the distance, the largest Clock Tower is located in the center of the city. Even though half of it collapsed, there are still sporadic blue flames shining at the top.
The blue flames above the "Tinghai Excludes You" tower are inexplicably similar to what Bai Zhou saw in the Reflection Ruins Realm.
--Everything is ruined and finished.
At this moment, Bai Zhou knew that he was Inverted Giant City in heaven.
He had also thought before that there might be a Sleeping Beauty in this city who was blackmailing passers-by.
The reason why everything he saw was "turned over" was because he himself was "turned over".
Just... why didn't he fall?
Are you "sucked" by this city?
There was no time to think about all this, because the token in Bai Zhou's hand started to get hot, like a soldering iron, and he could hardly hold it.
... Probably, it's because it senses the things in front of it.
Giant Divine Hall, as towering as a mountain, stands quietly in front of Bai Zhou.
In this city full of ruins, most of the ruins of the Divine Hall have been miraculously preserved.
Huge white stone pillars support a ceiling full of reliefs, and the bronze Great Door is engraved with ancient and unnamed inscriptions, full of holiness and majesty.
However, under the erosion of time and moisture, standing in the ruins of the city where everything is silent, the ruins of the Divine Hall cannot help but have a somewhat eerie and dilapidated flavor.
The faded painting on the door depicts a legendary scene in which a Sun Shine creature dissolves many ferocious monsters that seem to come from mythology.
"Sun Temple..."
Bai Zhou's heart was beating fast,
"If you have a chance, you can visit Sun Temple in Sky City."
"In our time, every fledgling Adventurer could find the way forward there!"
Recalling Skeleton General Ale's original words when he handed over the token, Bai Zhou took a deep breath slowly.
"..."
However.
The feeling of surprise quickly disappeared, and soon Bai Zhou began to worry.
Because it is different from what I imagined...
This Divine Hall's Great Door is tightly locked.
A Bronze Giant Lock, the lock body is engraved with the pattern of Sun Shine, it is half a man tall, and it is bolted there like a tower shield.
Bai Zhou tried to take the token, but Bronze Giant Lock had no response.
This made him dumbfounded.
Came here with high expectations, but Divine Hall locked the door.
You can imagine that scene...
The entire city has fallen, and at the end when everything has settled, the last priest of the Divine Hall locked up Divine Hall in order to protect Divine Hall.
This dust is the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life.
It seems that the zombies have nothing to do with it, so Divine Hall can be preserved relatively intact...
But what about Bai Zhou?
Are you just going to leave empty-handed?
That's it for now--
Bai Zhou took out Purple Gold Horse Saber and jumped into the air.
Without saying a word, he stimulated his spirituality, and the sword glowed violently--
"[Moon Ember Sacred Oath Slash]!"
"[Sacred Oath Slash]![Sacred Oath Slash]!"
There is definitely no key. Who says violent unlocking is not unlocking?
Bai Zhou swung three swords in succession.
However...Bronze Giant Lock didn't move at all, not even a trace of burning or scratching.
"..."
I tried various methods and Bai Zhou studied for a long time, but finally failed to open this door Great Door.
Bai Zhou gritted his teeth.
Adventurer, who is forced into a desperate situation, always has fantastic ideas.
Just like the crow once said, people in the comfort zone are like tea bags soaked in warm water, but desperate situations will turn people into concentrated Coffee.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Bai Zhou suddenly had some ideas in his mind.
"How about... try that?"
Although this idea is a bit risky,...
Bai Zhou looked around and made sure that there was absolutely no "life" in this city, and there would be no prying eyes.
For the Adventurer Path inheritance behind this door...
For the last legacy of the extraordinary Divine Hall in a civilization--
Bai Zhou feels that this risk is worth a try!
So, Bai Zhou took out the Extraordinary Brush he just got and started trying to write on the lock.
--Not even writing.
Because Bai Zhou only wrote one or two weird strokes on it, he jumped aside in a hurry as if he was frightened.
"Crack..."
Extraordinary Brush's extraordinary pen body actually had a faint crack, which made Bai Zhou feel very distressed.
The next moment--
"Hoo!"
A dark whirlwind suddenly appeared.
As the rain of blood fell, countless looming demons and ghosts cried in the depths of the dark wind Wolf Howl.
The moment he finished writing the strokes, as if he had expected it, Bai Zhou immediately ran away without looking back.
"Roar!"
Sure enough, Black Mist was chasing Bai Zhou with all his teeth and claws, and almost caught Bai Zhou's butt several times.
He flees, it pursues.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a thunder on the ground, and blood-red thunder and lightning fell from the sky!
He struck hard at Bronze Giant Lock who wrote two strokes.
The innocent Bronze Giant Lock broke and then shattered, and the writing on it was forcibly erased.
"Buzz..."
The vision disappeared.
Black Whirlwind, who was just a few inches away from dragging Bai Zhou in, also disappeared.
"Huh..."
Bai Zhou then stopped and took a long breath.
Before I knew it, a cold sweat broke out down my back.
Everything became quiet again.
It's like nothing ever happens.
Only the broken giant lock on the ground and the faint cracks on the paintbrush in Bai Zhou's hand proved that something had happened here...
"Forbidden Knowledge!"
Bai Zhou once obtained half a Ancient Character with the help of Golden Pass, and now it shows its power.
Bai Zhou had been curious before. As Forbidden Knowledge, who was not accepted by the world, once he appeared, he would be obliterated by the world...
--Is this considered "indestructible" in a certain sense?
Any material that carries it, no matter how mysterious or strong, cannot be the opponent of the entire world!
--Sure enough, with this attempt, Bai Zhou's wonderful idea was finally verified.
Although Bai Zhou still doesn't know the correct way to use this half Forbidden Ancient Script...
But by accident, he seems to have found a strange way to open it?
"Omnipotent Lock-Breaking Bomb!"
Why isn't it a magical "Open Sesame" spell?
It's just a pity that the restrictions are too big and can't be used more...
While pleasantly surprised, Bai Zhou also felt a little regretful.
One regret is that it is unlikely that I will have the opportunity to draw it on the "enemy".
Otherwise, Bai Zhou really wants to write a big Forbidden Ancient Script on Major Luo's forehead and let him have a good time with the roaring monsters and monsters in Black Mist.
Another regret is that with special materials like Bronze Giant Lock, even Moon Ember Sacred Oath Slash cannot leave the slightest trace, let alone others.
Only Extraordinary Brush can be used.
However, Bai Zhou is just one Extraordinary Brush.
Just a crack made him stop quickly, feeling extremely distressed.
Unless he had to, he didn't want to use the treasure he had just acquired so quickly until it was scrapped...
"Da, da!"
After jogging all the way back from afar, Bai Zhou stood in front of the Divine Hall's door again.
Above the broken door lock, Divine Hall's Great Door finally opened the crack of the door.
A damp, rotten smell mixed with aged spices and copper rust quietly flowed out from the crack in the door.
"Finally..."
Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhou pressed his hands on the Divine Hall's Great Door and applied force slowly.
"Squeak..."
Bronze Gate Pushed open, and what came into view was a long dark corridor.
Bai Zhou Take a step forward.
Suddenly, the token in his arms vibrated.
The heavy token flew out of Bai Zhou's arms, as if it was being pulled by some kind of force, and hung in the air.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
An alarm-like sound echoed throughout the corridor.
"What's going on?!"
Could it be that he is considered an intruder?
What are you Divine Hall, how come you are so "intelligent"?!
Cursing his luck secretly, Bai Zhou, who was confused and uncertain, immediately turned around and left.
But in the next moment--
"Ugh!"
A Silver White colored light fell from the sky, struck at an incredible and unavoidable speed, and enveloped Bai Zhou in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, an obscure, ancient and cold mechanical sound echoed in Bai Zhou's ears.
This mechanical sound went straight to the bottom of Bai Zhou's heart, and Bai Zhou inexplicably understood its meaning. It seemed to be...
"Detecting... the only Pilgrim in countless years."
"It was detected that Destiny is [Chen], and it meets the qualifications of the Divine Hall."
The cold mechanical sound echoed in Bai Zhou's mind without any emotion.
The next second, the token transformed in response, from its original bronze color to flowing bright silver, the same color as the descending beam of light.
This token... seems to have been upgraded?
Bai Zhou was shocked and confused, not understanding what was happening.
--But then.
Another beam of light fell from the sky, and Golden Brilliant's beam of light shrouded Bai Zhou head-on.
The cold mechanical voice sounded again, and the tone seemed to have an extremely difficult to detect fluctuation:
"Deep scan..."
"Congratulations, new pilgrim."
"Destiny is five feet five inches tall and is larger than three feet. He is qualified to enter Divine Hall's Elite Assessment."
Explosive light!
In the blink of an eye, the token was reshaped and upgraded again before Bai Zhou's eyes. The silver faded and turned into the gold of Golden Brilliant.
"Elite Assessment, ready."
"--Pilgrim, please start your assessment!"
The moment the voice fell, the golden light pillar covering Bai Zhou began to burn like a flame.
When the flames bloomed, Bai Zhou's eyes changed.
The feeling of weightlessness when riding Rainbow Light Pillar came again, and Bai Zhou just felt like the world was spinning.
"What...?"
When he opened his eyes again, Bai Zhou had arrived at an inexplicable closed space.
"Where is this!"
Bai Zhou forced himself to calm down and looked around in confusion.
The dim space is large, and the blue light comes from Blue Gemstone above the head.
The four walls are densely covered with text and figures.
And on the ground...
Bai Zhou's feet are densely covered with scary White Bone Skeletons.
Whether lying or sitting, the posture is different, and everything is decayed.
Bai Zhou suspects that they are the former assessors!
And next to these bones, there are Higanbana blooming all over the place.
They are breathtakingly beautiful, setting off this place like the shore of Yellow Springs.
--But when Bai Zhou examined it carefully, he discovered that these are the red flowers from the other side...
They are basically the scarlet Last Will left by the White Bones, squirming all over the ground, overlapping each other one after another, and spreading densely all over the ground--
Layer after layer!
There is almost no place to stay!
