Chapter 2155: The Doll Formation
Hillei also reacted after seeing Melia who had fallen into the devil. The strategy of the devil camp in other forces was mainly to disrupt, but for the Dusk Jungle, there were careful arrangements.
In addition to the conventional focus, what is needed is to know the Dusk Jungle very well. Then Hillei and Lin Jiuyi thought that the devil who secretly designed Ilet to betray the Dusk Jungle and constantly eroded the Dusk Jungle's veins was likely a guy from the Dusk Jungle who had fallen into the devil.
"Over there!" Lin Jiu, Talin, and Hillei felt a strong energy fluctuation in a certain direction at the same time, and led the team to quickly go deep into the building complex.
Here everyone saw a peculiar building, which was composed of multiple irregular polygons nested and staggered. The wall was made of huge bluestones, and the years had left mottled traces on the stone surface. Each stone seemed to carry a heavy history. Between the walls, wooden carved window lattices were cleverly interspersed, and the patterns on these window lattices were complex and varied.
The energy explosion point sensed by the three people was in the tower at the center of the building.
The foundation of the tower is deeply rooted in the earth, with huge stones piled tightly together, and the surface of the stones is covered with traces of erosion. As it slowly rises, the tower gradually reveals its exquisite design - each layer is cleverly indented, forming an elegant tapered outline, which is both light and stable.
The eaves of the tower are stacked and staggered, like the wings of a phoenix about to fly. Each tile has been carefully selected and arranged neatly, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen. Under the eaves, rows of exquisite wood carvings come into view.
The tower is very exquisite, but everyone's attention is not on the tower at all, but on the huge array diagram on the ground around the tower. It is interwoven with countless fine lines, like an intricate net. These lines meet at the center of the magic circle, which is the location of the tower, and shroud the tower in a force, as if it is the source of all power. Around the tower, there are circles of gradually expanding ripple-like patterns, which are like ripples of energy, spreading in all directions.
Around the periphery of the magic circle, there are twelve symbols of different shapes and sizes. Some of these symbols shine like stars, some are like the roots of ancient trees, and some seem to be the marks of some mysterious creatures. They each emit a faint light, echoing the light point in the center, as if forming a huge energy circulation system.
Lin Jiu's attainments in magic circles are not bad, at least he has arranged a lot of summoning magic circles. It can be roughly seen that the magic circle in front of him is based on the hexagram, but each ray is not extended in a straight line, but is composed of fine and smooth curves, like six lively rivers, converging in the center of the magic circle.
Each tip of the hexagram is inlaid with a gem of different colors, which makes everyone extremely surprised, because these so-called "gems" are actually elemental crystals. In the annihilation abyss, there is actually a magic circle based on elemental crystals, which has not been erased by the power of the dark demon.
The elemental crystals are connected by hair-thin gold and silver threads, interweaving into complex and exquisite patterns. The edge is surrounded by a circle of circular text composed of tiny runes, which are written in an unknown ancient language and emit a faint light.
"Let's go directly in." Lin Jiu glanced at the elemental crystals. He could sense that the internal elemental power was very weak and barely maintained this magic circle.
In this case, either this magic circle has been in the annihilation abyss for a period of time, and the elemental power has been eroded and wiped out by the power of the dark demon, or this magic circle has been activated once and consumed a lot of energy. No matter what the reason is, with such a weak energy source, this magic circle can be said to be broken at a single blow, so there is no need to worry, just go straight to the tower in the center.
Bang!
Lin Jiu kicked open the door of the tower. The door had no special means of defense, and was kicked out by him directly. When the door flew out, it was quickly eroded and dissipated by the rich power of the dark demon.
"Hmm? Playing nesting dolls?" Lin Jiu didn't expect that there was a magic circle inside the tower, and it was completely different from the outside, or even the opposite.
This magic circle presents a twisted hexagonal structure, and each corner is as sharp as a blade, as if it can cut through the void. Surrounded by circles of complex runes, these runes exude a heart-pounding breath, as if it is a spell from the abyss.
On the periphery of the magic circle, surrounded by a circle of shields condensed by energy derived from the abyss, a strange undercurrent flows on the surface of the shield, as if it is the raging waves of the abyss, swallowing up all creatures that try to approach the magic circle.
In the center of the magic circle, there is a complex pattern made of unknown black metal. It looks like a twisted multidimensional cube, and each face is inlaid with gems of different materials. These gems flash strange colors in the weak light, as if they are lights guiding people into the abyss. In the center of the cube, there is a constantly rotating dark vortex, which silently devours all the light around it, exuding a heart-pounding horror.
Extending from the cube were dozens of dark tracks made up of fine runes. They were like tangled vines and flowing undercurrents, intricately intertwined, dividing the entire array into multiple mysterious areas. Occasionally, dark lights flashed on these rune tracks, like eyes in the abyss.
The boundary of the magic circle is composed of circles of huge dark stone tablets, on which ancient spells and taboo patterns are carved. There are also some strangely shaped and unknown sacrificial objects in the corners. They emit a faint light, echoing with the cube in the center, and jointly maintain the operation of the magic circle.
"It came so fast... It can only be formed halfway... But it's enough, kill you all, deprive the elemental mark, and then complete the rest." An old voice echoed in the tower space, and the rune vines began to climb towards the core cube, and then gathered a figure with this cube as the core.
Lin Jiu and others were not surprised that this guy was not surprised at their arrival. After all, he controlled the power of the demon camp and naturally knew their whereabouts. But what made Lin Jiu sigh was that this guy was really confident. If he arranged some high-level demons to play a group fight here, Lin Jiu would be in trouble.
Compared to the calm reactions of Lin Jiu and others, Xierlei was not so calm. Looking at the figure formed by her body, Xierlei's pupils suddenly dilated, and she exclaimed in disbelief: "Grandpa Oak!"
"Huh? Grandpa Oak... Could it be the Oak Sage?" Lin Jiu heard Xierlei's exclamation and quickly locked on a target, that is, the founder of the Cangyue Council, the prototype of the Cangyue Alliance, the first sage of the Dusk Jungle, the Oak Sage. The next moment, he heard the prompt to complete the task.
