Chapter 2149: The Doll's Array
After seeing Melia who had fallen into a demon, Hillel also realized that the demon camp's strategy towards other forces was mainly to disrupt them, but for the Dusk Jungle, they had made careful arrangements.
In addition to the conventional focus, it is also necessary to have a good understanding of the Dusk Jungle. So Xi Lei and Lin Jiuyi thought that the demon who secretly designed Ilait to betray the Dusk Jungle and constantly eroded the Dusk Jungle's veins was most likely a guy from the Dusk Jungle who had fallen into the devil.
"Over there!" Lin Jiu, Talin and Xierlei sensed a strong energy fluctuation in a certain direction at the same time, and led the team quickly towards the depths of the building complex.
Here, everyone saw a peculiar building, which was composed of multiple irregular polygons nested in each other and arranged in a staggered manner. The walls were built of huge bluestones, and the years had left mottled marks 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 located in the center of the building.
The tower's foundation is deeply rooted in the earth, with huge stones stacked tightly together, and the surface of the stones is covered with traces of erosion. As it rises slowly, the tower gradually reveals its ingenious design - each layer is cleverly indented, forming an elegant tapered outline that appears light yet stable.
The eaves of the tower are stacked and interlaced, like the wings of a phoenix spreading its wings to take off. Each tile has been carefully selected and arranged neatly, showing the exquisite skills of ancient craftsmen. Under the eaves, rows of exquisite wood carvings come into view.
The tower was very exquisite, but everyone's attention was not on the tower at all, but on the huge array on the ground around the tower. It was made up of countless fine lines interwoven, like an intricate net. These lines intersected at the center of the array, which was the location of the tower, and enveloped the tower in a force, as if it was the source of all power. Around the tower, there were circles of gradually expanding ripples, which were like ripples of energy, spreading in all directions.
Around the periphery of the magic circle, there were twelve symbols of different shapes and sizes. Some of these symbols shone like stars, some looked like the tangled roots of ancient trees, and some seemed to be the marks of some mysterious creatures. They each emitted a faint light, echoing the light point in the center, as if forming a huge energy circulation system.
Lin Jiu's attainment in magic arrays was pretty good, at least he had set up many summoning arrays. It could be roughly seen that the magic array in front of him was based on a hexagram, but each star did not extend in a straight line, but was composed of fine and smooth curves, like six lively rivers converging in the center of the magic array.
Each tip of the hexagram was inlaid with a gem of a different color, which surprised everyone because these so-called "gems" were actually elemental crystals. In the Annihilation Abyss, there was actually a magic array based on elemental crystals, which had not been erased by the power of the dark demon.
The elemental crystals were connected by hair-thin gold and silver threads, interweaving into complex and exquisite patterns. Around the edge was a circle of circular text composed of tiny runes, which were written in an unknown ancient language and emitted a faint light.
"Let's go straight in." Lin Jiu glanced at the elemental crystals. He could sense that the elemental power inside was already very weak, barely maintaining the formation.
In this case, either the array has been in the Oblivion Abyss for a while and the elemental power has been eroded by the power of the dark demon, or the array has been activated once and consumed a lot of energy. Whatever the reason, with such a weak energy source, the array can be said to be shattered with one strike, so there is no need to worry, just go straight to the tower in the center.
boom!
Lin Jiu kicked open the door of the tower. The door had no special defense and was kicked away by him. When the door flew out, it was quickly eroded and dissipated by the rich power of dark magic.
"Huh? Playing with nesting dolls?" Lin Jiu didn't expect that there was a magic circle inside the tower, and it was completely different from the one outside, or even completely opposite.
This magic circle presents a twisted hexagonal structure, each corner is as sharp as a blade, as if it can cut through the void. Surrounding it are circles of complex runes, which exude a frightening aura, as if they are the spells of the abyss.
On the periphery of the magic circle, there is a shield formed by the energy derived from the abyss. A strange undercurrent flows on the surface of the shield, like the raging waves of the abyss, swallowing up all creatures that try to approach the magic circle.
At the center of the magic circle was a complex pattern made of unknown black metal. It was shaped like a twisted multidimensional cube, with gems of different materials inlaid on each face. These gems flashed strange colors in the weak light, like a beacon guiding people into the abyss. At the center of the cube was a constantly rotating dark vortex, which silently devoured all the light around it and exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts palpitate.
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 boundaries of the magic circle were formed by circles of huge dark stone tablets, on which were carved ancient spells and taboo patterns. In the corners were also placed some strangely shaped, unidentified sacrificial objects, which emitted a faint light, echoing the cube in the center, and together maintained the operation of the magic circle.
"It comes so fast...it can only be formed halfway...but it's enough. Kill you all, deprive you of the elemental imprint, 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 a figure gathered with this cube as the core.
Lin Jiu and the 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. However, what impressed Lin Jiu was that this guy was really confident. If he arranged some high-level demons to fight in a group here, Lin Jiu would be in trouble.
Compared to the calm reactions of Lin Jiu and the 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!"
"Hmm? Grandpa Oak... Could it be Sage Oak?" Lin Jiu heard Xi Lei's exclamation and quickly locked onto a target, that is, Sage Oak, the founder of the Cang Yue Council, the prototype of the Cang Yue Alliance, and the first sage of the Dusk Jungle. The next moment, he heard the prompt to complete the task.
