After the battle, the two searched the cave and found some spoils. In addition to the extraordinary gems condensed on the dead monsters, the pair of long fangs were also made of extremely high-quality materials.
[Dragon Gem] (Rating: Perfect Gold): Condensed from the remains of a dead monster, its power is largely preserved due to the extremely short duration of the battle and the exceptionally high level of refinement. Can be used to create extraordinary artifacts and potions.
[Crimson Fang] (Rating: Rare Gold): The hardest part of the Crimson Demon Pig, with a strong heavy-hitting effect. A slight collision can break gold and stone, making it suitable for making heavy weapons.
Then the two of them discovered a passage in the corner of the cave, which seemed to have been dug by the magic pig. The deep passage led all the way underground.
Loran Hill pulled Niya and slowly descended from the passage inside the cave with the breeze, while Niya occasionally shot small fireballs downwards to illuminate the dark underground.
The demon pigs are experts in rock and fire, so digging through the hard mantle is not difficult for them, but the depth of this passage is increasingly surprising.
At first, Loran Hill and Nia thought they would reach the bottom soon, but in fact they fell for a long time and still couldn't see the end, and the air around them gradually became stuffy and hot.
If both of them were not extraordinary beings with strong physiques, ordinary people would have fainted from the high temperature and lack of oxygen at this depth.
The tunnel extended downward for approximately 4-5 kilometers. As she neared the bottom, the scorching heat made Nia feel dizzy and her consciousness blurred. However, the scene before her suddenly surprised her, and then deeply shocked her.
The vast dome and neatly arranged stone pillars, the giant stone statues so tall that people have to look up at them, and the weathered and huge dragon-shaped skeletons, everything impacts people's cognition.
The two landed on an extremely flat stone platform square, a large square that could accommodate more than 3,000 people. It was surrounded by six tall diamond-shaped stone pillars. The statues on top of the stone pillars were like square human figures with their eyes closed, their hands clasped, and a sun-like pattern on their foreheads.
Directly in front of the square stretched massive stone pillars, like bridge piers. They once held a bridge deck, but now most of it has collapsed, leaving only a small section. At the end of the pillars sat a majestic statue, like a human figure magnified thousands of times.
He placed his hands on the armrests of the throne and looked forward. Behind the throne was a huge ring with exquisite patterns on it. The faint glow inside extended outward along the patterns, just like the sun.
In front of the giant statue is a tall and square altar, on which is placed the skeleton of a giant dragon. Some parts of the skeleton are broken, and some bones are scattered under the altar. The dust and footprints scattered in the middle indicate that it must have been destroyed not long ago.
"Is this a relic from the Giant King's Court?"
Looking at this rugged yet imposing building, Loran Hill expressed his conjecture. The architectural style was primarily square, with only slightly rounded corners. Everything appeared enormous, not only the humanoid figure on the throne but also the other empty stone chairs beside it. They didn't seem to be designed for modern humanoids.
"It's unbelievable." Niya shook her head, and her consciousness slowly returned.
Looking at the scattered and weathered dragon-shaped bones, the two guessed that the magic pig had absorbed the dragon's magic power and advanced in a short period of time. It was also thanks to the extraordinary talent of this magic pig that it was able to dig such a deep passage that extended all the way to this ancient ruins.
The Age of Giants and Dragons was before the First Age. Due to the lack of clear records from that time, no one knows how long that era lasted. Whether it was tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years, no one can tell for sure.
However, both elven and human scholars agree that this era lasted at least 50,000 years. Several great wars took place between giants and dragons, profoundly changing the world.
Based on archaeological murals and findings on the continent's topography, some scholars speculate that the Mountains of Sighs were originally continuous, with no valleys in between. However, the destructive dragon known as Bahamut unleashed a torrent of energy, piercing the mountain range and creating a canyon running east-west through the center of the continent.
It's hard to imagine that a canyon over ten kilometers wide and two thousand kilometers long was not formed naturally, but was created by a legendary dragon. This existence beyond common sense is also classified as Sequence 10.
Although they only exist in legends and no one has ever seen their true appearance, these Sequence 10 beings still leave traces of their activities in this world, leading creatures to believe that Sequence 10 at least once existed. Their god-like power is enough to destroy this fragile world.
So when did these beings disappear? Why did they disappear? No one knows, and there are many different opinions. Some speculate that they died together after a great war, and the fragments of the gods were scattered around the world. Some say that they abandoned this world and went to other worlds. Others speculate that those chaotic phantoms are the obsession of the dead gods.
The Giant King, with his back against the sun and holding a flaming spear, stood on the top of the rock and fought with the Blood-Winged Dragon embracing the moon. The dragon spewed out frosty ice-blue breath, intending to freeze the whole world. Ji Yan and Cang Bing were at a stalemate.
Such murals have been discovered more than once in ruins, and even more amazingly, similar murals have been found on another continent thousands of miles away, except that the figures and dragons in the murals have been modified.
On the Western Continent, giants are taller and braver, while dragons have sharp, dense teeth and a demonic aura. On the Eastern Continent, giants grin wildly and are incredibly evil, attempting to burn the world to destruction, while dragons are graceful, slender, and benevolent, intent on extinguishing the flames with gentle rain and dew, saving the world.
-----------------
This relic has gone through countless years and time, and many items have decayed, aged, and evaporated. Loran Hill and Nia searched the ruins for a long time but found nothing else that could be used.
Finally, the two stood on top of the huge stone statue and observed the patterns on the huge round wheel behind the statue.
"Loran, look, there are also patterns on the forehead of the stone statue." Niya said from the side.
Loran Hill walked over and looked at the weathered surface of the stone statue. The originally delicate lines had peeled off and weathered, leaving it in a dilapidated state. She gently brushed away the dust on it with her hand, sensing the lines within.
The burning sun seems to be surrounded by a pair of wings. If you look closely, you will find that the wings are like the sun's rays, and each feather is a ray of light.
For some reason, even though she had never seen this pattern before, a feeling of nostalgia rose in her heart and lingered gently.
