Chapter 6 The Law of Destruction
He walked over step by step, squatted down, grasped both ends of the stone with both hands, and swung it violently. Although he was only ten years old, he could already move a stone weighing one hundred catties after training in the killer base all year round.
With a "drink" sound, Luo Dong completely moved the stone aside.
A skeleton jumped up from the bottom, looked at the stone being removed, shook his head, touched his head, seemed a bit puzzled how the stone was suddenly removed, followed him and looked at Luo Dong, a pair of empty skeleton eyes showed no expression, but then the skeleton bit its mouth up and down, as if to express its smile and closeness to Luo Dong.
This made Luo Dong no longer afraid, and he began to look at the skeleton as if he were looking at a magic pet.
"Are you a dead spirit skeleton from another world?" Luo Dong asked.
The skeleton shook his head, nodded again, shrugged and waved his hands, as if expressing his incomprehension.
Then, the skeleton stretched out his index finger again, pointing to the left passage.
"You're taking me out of here, aren't you?" Luo Dong asked.
This time the skeleton figure understood, nodded, turned around, and walked to the left.
Luo Dong walked behind the skeleton.
The maze is still illuminated by dim light, and the passage is blurred.
With the skeleton leading the way, Luo Dong walked quickly. After about half an hour, the skeleton led Luo Dong to a straight passage. A thick white mist floated in the passage. A singing sound almost wailing came from inside.
The sound was like many wives screaming, and like many children crying ghostly.
Luo Dong couldn't help trembling, gritted his teeth, and followed the skeleton into the mist.
After walking for more than 100 meters like this, suddenly his eyes widened and he arrived at a place with strange width and height.
I saw that this was a round hall, supported by a pillar in the middle, and the surrounding walls were tight and smooth. In the mist, there were three other passages, and I don't know where they lead.
Luo Dong carefully observed the origin of the fog and ghost sounds, only to find that there were eleven other skeletons floating from the top of the hall. These skeletons are surrounded by black air currents, which are entangled with a sacred white light stream, forming a strange landscape.
The white stream of light fluctuates from time to time, impacting the black air current.
And the eleven skeletons wandered back and forth, as if they wanted to break through the encirclement of the white light stream, but they were always blocked back, so they could only form a circle in order to prevent their own black light stream from being wiped out.
Suddenly, the skeleton pointed at the eleven skeletons floating above his head, and then drew a circle again, shrugging his shoulders in a helpless gesture.
"You mean, the eleven skeletons above are your partners, but they are restrained by something and cannot come down?" Luo Dong asked smartly.
The skeleton nodded, resting his chin on his hands, making a distressed gesture.
"But, is there any way to save your partner?" Luo Dong asked.
The skeleton waved his hand, expressing helplessness.
"First of all, there is a hymn that I don't know where it came from. If you want to find the reason for the hymn, maybe your partner will come down." Luo Dong thought.
The skeleton nodded, shook his head again, clicked his mouth a few times, and scratched his scalp again, obviously distressed at being unable to express himself. Suddenly, he waved to Luo Dong, turned around and left.
Luo Dong knew that the skeleton wanted to take him somewhere again, so he immediately followed.
I saw the skeleton walking straight to a brown stone wall in front, and then knocked on the stone wall with his hands, listening attentively from time to time, as if looking for something.
After a while, the skeleton suddenly stopped and pressed hard.
The dense stone wall in front of it suddenly cracked with a "click", and immediately the front was lit up, and a reddish light came out from the crack.
Then a strong musty smell wafted out, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Luo Dong couldn't help covering his mouth and nose.
But the skeleton walked in without fear of the musty smell.
Luo Dong had no choice but to follow in.
With a flash in front of his eyes, he saw that the inside seemed to be a room inhabited by humans. There are desks, cabinets, stools and so on. And there is a huge cauldron in the middle of the room, and various herbs, bottles, and magic crystal cores are placed on the desk. The cabinet is empty, only a small amount of two or three books are placed. The light inside is emitted from a crystal ball embedded in the ceiling.
The skeleton looked around with blank eyes, then walked through the cauldron and walked directly to a bookcase in front. Turning around at a mechanism of the bookcase, the bookcase moved away automatically, revealing another room.
After Luo Dong entered the small room, he was stunned. On a stone bed in the small room, there was an old man with long hair sitting cross-legged. He hangs his head, wears a red robe, and holds a yellow book in his bony left hand.
"Hello." Luo Dong stopped and said hello.
The old man in red robe bowed his head and remained silent.
"Excuse me, are you alive?" Luo Dong asked again tentatively.
The old man remained motionless.
Luo Dong approached the old man cautiously, saw his waxy face was numb, reached out and touched his shoulder, but there was no response, pushed him again, but still nothing happened.
Sure enough, it was a dead man.
Why did he die here? Is he the master of this secret room? What is his connection with this underground labyrinth? How could his corpse not decompose? Also, after he died, why was he holding a dirty book?
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
Could it be that he has left his last words in the books?
Luo Dong picked up the yellow book on the old man's lap and read it by the light outside.
"Law of Destruction".
After continuing to turn the pages of the book, Luo Dong was able to vaguely understand the content of the book by virtue of the Chinese-like characters in this continent. When encountering some unfamiliar characters, he could understand them after careful deliberation.
At the beginning of the book, it roughly describes the experience of the dead man himself.
His name is Mo Yu, and he is the president of the Church of the Undead in the West Fantasy Continent. In the 4800th year of the mainland calendar, the dark dynasty supported by the church was defeated, and was hunted down by the Holy See of Light, and fled to the Emerald Territory. He felt that the underground labyrinth here was full of aura, suitable for healing. But one day when he was meditating, the magic treasure Twelve Skulls around him suddenly became uncontrollable and spontaneously collided with a kind of sacred air in the maze. As a result, the space was distorted, and he also became obsessed during meditation. Although he kept his life with concentration, he was still paralyzed. During his later boring life, he observed that whether it is the white light flow in the maze or the black air flow of the twelve skulls, there is a mysterious power in nature. This force seems to be not in the three-dimensional world, but in the fourth or fifth dimensional space, so it distorts the real world. Mo Yu is also a very talented person, and based on this strange power, he created a kind of cultivation secret book that is different from magic and battle qi: the law of destruction.
The "Law of Destruction" is divided into eight levels: Juyuan. Dilate the veins. solid. bloodthirsty. Soul shaping. True devil. soar. Apotheosis.
According to what Mo Yu said, the Law of Destruction contains the power to destroy the world, and it is equivalent to the ability of ordinary fighters at the second level only after the first level of energy gathering is successful. After bloodthirsty, you can travel across the West Fantasy Continent. But Mo Yu himself doesn't know what it looks like after becoming a god. He can only create logically, but he can't tell the specifics of the practice.
Because Mo Yu himself cannot cultivate the "Law of Destruction".
Because the "Law of Destruction" is too powerful, it can only become the main ability, not the subduing ability. People with magical power or battle qi in their bodies cannot absorb the energy of destruction. They must have the energy of destruction first. After successfully gathering energy, they can learn other magic or fighting energy. And the energy in the body after successful gathering of energy can make you learn magic or fighting energy with twice the result with half the effort, achieving an incredible upgrade effect.
Seeing this, Luo Dong smiled happily.
He was not from the West Fantasy Continent in the first place, so he naturally had no fighting spirit or magical power in his body.
Mo Yu still didn't know one thing, when he was paralyzed in the maze. The power conflict between the twelve skulls and the white light flow also triggered a change in the Emerald Territory. The result was the abandoned wasteland of the Emerald Fields. The "Law of Destruction" he created finally fell into the hands of a traverser.
"It seems that I am the same as all time travelers. There will always be adventures." Luo Dong murmured a little self-deprecatingly, but couldn't help being ecstatic, trying to comprehend the profound meaning of the law of destruction.
As a result, he found that the text in the book was very esoteric, not to mention the difficult-to-decipher Western fantasy characters, even some Chinese characters were similar to Sanskrit, and it was difficult to understand the meaning when he read it.
Tried to chant a spell, but nothing magical happened.
Luo Dong was a little depressed, looking at the skeleton standing beside him, he couldn't imagine that this skeleton was actually one of the twelve powerful skeletons that Mo Yu said.
In the end, Luo Dong gave up on the exploration of the "Law of Destruction", and began to look around the secret room to see what else he found.
But in the Chamber of Secrets, the room where the magic feather died was nothing but a stone bed. Walking into the big room with the cauldron, all you can see are all kinds of medicine bottles, and you don't know what they are for. Looking at the bookcase next to it, there are a few rare books in it, all of which are books on refining elixir.
One of them is titled: The Origin of Medicinal Pills.
Luo Dong opened the book, and sure enough, he saw what he needed.
According to this book, magicians in this world absorb natural magic elements with their own magic power. The role of the elixir is to help the magician improve the efficiency of absorbing magic elements. That is to say, a magician can upgrade to a level by himself in one year, but relying on the effect of the elixir can save half a year, and even with the rarity and effect of the elixir, it can let you upgrade to the first level immediately.
But Luo Dong smiled wryly, no matter how useful the various alchemy books in the secret room were, Mo Yu didn't leave any magic secrets for himself, so what's the use of mastering them by himself.
While thinking about it, Luo Dong's stomach growled suddenly, he was really anxious.
"Hey, skeleton, take me out of here." Luo Dong said to skeleton.
The skeleton stood upright, looked at Luo Dong with two empty eyes, beckoned, turned around and left.
Luo Dong didn't care whether the skeleton took him out or not, he followed the skeleton and left.
