Chapter 184: Aristocratic Expedition Preparation

Chapter 184: Aristocratic Expedition Preparation

Other ancient legends of Port Ravanlais say that in the distant past, there were no mountains at the northernmost tip of the island, only a cold and vast rocky wasteland.

When people came to the island, the noise awakened the ancient gods sleeping underground in the wasteland.

He opened his eyes, and the earth parted, and huge mountains emerged from the earth. Terrible flames came out of the mountains, bringing abundant darkness and fruit.

To this day, the terrifying god still sleeps in the depths of the ancient mountains, and his evil incarnation lingers forever in the lonely castle at the top of the mountains.

On the map provided by the old explorer Beigsen, there is only a rough terrain deep in the mountains on the north side of the island.

There are only a few scattered location signs, marking the specific locations of several cave fissures leading to underground gem mines, and three unknown ruins.

The ancient rock wall with huge rock reliefs carved on it that Evan mentioned was one of the three unknown ruins.

Passing through a small patch of sparse, low forest at the foot of the mountains, Avis and Joem walked on a clearing covered with weeds in the forest.

The tall trees became sparse, and the air was filled with the fresh and crisp smell of sunshine, accompanied by the occasional crisp bird calls, and the unique fragrance of fresh trees came from all around.

On one side of this clearing in the woods, beside a gurgling, clear stream, there are ancient ruins, which seem to have been left by some of the island's ancestors.

Those buildings, which were once built of large pieces of gray-white rocks and represented civilization, have finally returned to their original natural state.

The wind in the forest blew through the cracks between the broken rock pillars, blowing the wild bluebells with tiny white flowers blooming among the gravel.

The light golden sunlight in the afternoon shines through the sparse branches and leaves, covering the thin smoke and dust of the ruins and the clear stream, reflecting a hazy and dreamy tone.

This small ancient ruin is not marked on the parchment explorer's map.

Similarly, there are basically no items of high value left inside.

If a player can find this place, perhaps he can find some small things left among the rocks of the ruins, and by the way, gain a little bit of experience points by opening the map.

"Sir Avis, the strength and activity of the cursed force field within a few hundred meters ahead has increased significantly. Please make preparations in time."

At this moment, Qiaom suddenly spoke and told the news he had detected in a deep voice.

Avis could also see that a few hundred meters ahead, there seemed to be an invisible dividing line between the mountains and the forest.

The normal vegetation disappeared, replaced by barren gray-white rocky hillsides and some dark, low plants that looked strange at first sight.

Just as the sea of ​​fog shrouds the island's sky, a layer of clouds that refuses to dissipate also covers the island's mountains, making their huge outlines hazy and unclear.

"Okay, let's do it here."

Avis nodded and said something a little incoherent.

But Joem immediately understood what Anvis meant. He nodded and took out a round stone slab as dark as night from his space ring.

The surface of the stone slab is engraved with intricate and detailed mithril inscriptions that make one feel dizzy at first glance, just like the stars in the night sky.

In the center, there is an empty slot as big as an apple, as if something needs to be inserted.

After taking a casual glance around, Joum walked to the corner of the ruins, between several tilted stone pillars supporting each other. His mental power penetrated his body, forming a miniature [Liquid Ground] spell effect.

The small piece of rock in front of him and the ground liquefied instantly, and then became hard again, leaving a flat ground.

Placing the magic circle slab in his hand on the flat ground, Joem took out another magic crystal cut into a dodecahedron and placed it in the empty slot.

As the crystal was embedded, the entire mithril magic circle suddenly emitted a faint light.

A faint spatial fluctuation spread out, and then gradually disappeared.

Portable fixed-point space transmission array, produced by Olivendi——

Each use consumes a piece of high-purity magic crystal, which can support about seven days of operation.

As long as the return beacon paired with the teleportation array is activated, the teleporter can instantly return to the location of the teleportation array at any point within a radius of 3,000 kilometers from the array.

Moreover, due to the existence of the activated teleportation array, the nature of this teleportation belongs to the teleportation array fixed-point teleportation, which can ignore most of the space blockades.

It is much safer for the user than a teleportation scroll which is easily interfered with. Its only drawback is that it is extremely expensive, comparable to a seventh-tier magic equipment.

Of course, in a sense, this is not a shortcoming of the teleportation array.

After confirming that the teleportation array was operating normally, Joem waved his hand, controlling a thin layer of rock to cover the array underneath, and used magic to hide the location of the array.

After setting up the emergency escape equipment, Avis replaced the five rings on his left hand with ones specifically for defending against curses, and then slowly left the forest and entered the mountains.

As soon as they stepped onto the steep rocky slope, a strong curse field instantly enveloped the two of them.

Unlike other locations on the island, the curse field here has become extremely active. Even during the day, the concentration has reached a level sufficient to be effective against the third level.

If the previous state of the cursed force field was similar to a lazy slime, then now it is like a slime in estrus, desperately pouncing on the female adventurer.

It won't melt your clothes, but it will melt your sanity.

The rings that resisted the curse lit up one by one, and a layer of faint moon-white protective aura emerged from Avis' body, repelling the strong curse power surging around him.

Comparing the approximate positions of the surrounding mountains on the map again, Avis's eyes were fixed on a peak with a slightly gentle curve deep in the mountains ahead.

The mountain is shaped like a curled-up cat, with a slightly curved bottom and slightly sharp "cat ears" on the top that have penetrated deep into the snow line and are covered with white snow.

After confirming the direction, Avis and the others arrived at their destination in a moment.

Perhaps due to the different angle, he was unable to see the huge stone-carved mountain wall.

When he turned to the other side of the mountain, Avis finally saw the legendary cliff with huge mysterious rock statues carved on it.

The entire cliff was also shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and in the midst of it, huge rock reliefs that were almost as tall as the mountains revealed their mysterious veil to Anvis.

Just as Evan had described, the creatures above looked a bit like a cross between faceless humanoids and pitch-black sea lily tentacles.
