Chapter 177: Shocking Change
Boom!!
As the thick tentacles broke through the ground, the soil within a few meters around the two people suddenly exploded. The stirred up soil and rocks flew everywhere, and then were bounced away by the rising magic power around the two people.
Faced with this sudden magical attack, Avis' figure flashed in an instant, and the special triggered spell on his cloak drove him to escape from the range of the attack in a teleportation-like movement.
At the same time, the several magic rings on his fingers and the various amulets he wore on his body all lit up.
Dozens of translucent high-level magic shields and defensive auras appeared on his body, protecting against all types of magic to deal with possible subsequent sneak attacks.
Joem, who was following behind Avis, suddenly focused his eyes, and several ice-blue sword auras condensed out of thin air beside him.
The next moment, the sword energy drew laser-like trajectories and penetrated several spells in the air, causing them to disintegrate into several dark green magic clouds.
At the same time, a slender, transparent sword light flashed by like bright moonlight on the side of the black tentacles that broke out of the ground, instantly cutting off all the tentacles at the roots and causing them to collapse into tiny magic particles.
After resolving the first wave of attacks, without waiting for the enemy to make any further moves, Joum suddenly raised his hand, and the invisible force field turned into a sharp sword, instantly slashing out two transparent sword lights like silk screens.
The two "sword nets" instantly crossed the space and enveloped two third-level black-robed figures hiding in the corner of a house in the distance.
The terrifying binding force field directly fixed the two black-robed men who were about to escape when they saw the situation was not good.
The two launched a surprise attack on Avis, but failed and were captured by Joem.
It took less than half a minute to make such a move.
At the same time, several island residents who witnessed the scene up close on the street had already fled far away for fear of being affected.
"Sir Joum, please check their origins and why they attacked us."
Looking at the two men in black robes who suddenly attacked them, Avis frowned.
The spells they used gave him a very bad feeling.
At this time, although they were fixed by Qiao Mu's net-like sword light, the emotions revealed in their eyes did not show any fear. Instead, they showed a strange enthusiasm.
Seeing this, Avis simply did not approach them. He ordered Joem to search the items on the two attackers, and then directly used magic to read the memories of the two men to check their origins and goals.
But the result was not satisfactory, the memories of the two attackers could not be read at all.
The consciousness of the two attackers was in an extremely confused and crazy state, like madmen who had completely lost their minds.
From their personal belongings, Joem found two dark silver pendants with strange pentagram symbols.
The grooves of the symbol were filled with a strange dark green pigment, which seemed to be the secretion of some creature.
"A follower of a foreign cult?"
Examining the two silver pendants, Avis's eyes became somewhat distracted.
He knew that there was a cult of a foreign god on the island, and he even suspected that Evan's disappearance was likely closely related to that cult.
But why did they suddenly attack him? Anyway, after dealing with the two people who suddenly attacked him, Avis continued to investigate the black tower in the town according to the original plan.
Because of this episode, they were delayed for some time. When Anvis and Joem finally arrived at the black tower, it was already completely dark.
However, although it was already night, the foggy clouds in the sky dissipated and became strangely clear.
A huge purple moon hung high in the sky, casting its magical purple moonlight softly onto the night town.
The beautiful psychedelic purple light cast a veil of moonlight over the exotic buildings in the town, making them appear extremely quiet and hazy.
In front of Avis and Jom, the majestic dark cylindrical tower occupied their entire vision.
The height of this giant tower far exceeds that of other buildings in the city, and it displays materials and architectural styles that are completely different from those of the entire town.
The huge dark columnar tower is built entirely of strange gray-black rocks in the shape of hexagonal columns with a slightly greasy metallic luster.
Its surface appears to have been weathered over millions of years, revealing signs of extreme antiquity and decay.
Unlike the port city, this giant tower seemed to belong to another completely different ancient world. In that era that did not belong to humans, an unknown race built this ancient tower, and it has survived to this day.
After observing the tower in a circle, Avis saw that at the low entrance at the bottom of the tower, the gray-black ancient rock gate was blocked from the outside by two silver-white metal bars.
That strange sealing method and the strange silver-white sealing magic circle engraved in the center of the gate both proved one thing.
There is something special sealed in this ancient tower.
After carefully observing the seal array on the stone gate, Avis finally came to a conclusion.
It is a high-level sealing array with the ability to seal time and space, and has a self-healing effect.
Obviously, there is something unknown in the tower. If it is released carelessly, it may cause tricky problems.
However, for this special door that is not convenient to unseal directly, Avis has a very simple way to obtain information about the things sealed behind it.
Pigeon--
"Gu? You're calling Gu--"
Hearing the call in Avis's heart, the pigeon that had not appeared for a long time popped its head out from mid-air, twisted its head and looked at Avis' face.
"Yes, dear pigeon, there are some problems that need your help."
Avis looked at the pigeon with a smile.
Hearing this, the dove suddenly flew out from mid-air and landed on Avis' light golden hair.
"What's up Gu?"
"See that tall rock tower? Dove, can you help me go in and see what's hidden inside?"
After the pigeon appeared intact, Avis pointed to the tower gate that was blocked by two metal bars and gestured to the pigeon.
"Okay, guh—"
Looking at the gray-black ancient tower, the pigeon nodded and hopped to the stone door with a greasy metallic luster. Just like before, it inserted its head into the silver sealing circle on the surface of the door, and then slowly sank its entire body into the door.
All the above conversations and instructions with the pigeons are completed in the mind.
From Joem's perspective, he could only see that Avis suddenly smiled.
After a while, the pigeon came out again.
“Gugu——”
"Well, dear dove, what is in the tower?"
Seeing the pigeon, Anvis looked at it with a smile.
