Chapter 395: The Ancient Country, Its Secrets
Li Ang muttered to himself, eyes flickering, "If it's true, then this task will be very difficult, and we must think of a perfect solution..."
At this moment, he suddenly felt his feet go limp, and a skinny and pale arm firmly grabbed his leg, dragging him into the black hole!
boom!
With a muffled sound, the black hole closed and everything returned to calm.
And Li Ang's figure has completely disappeared.
In the depths of the black hole, endless darkness enveloped the sky, and you can't see your fingers.
Li Ang's eyes widened, trying to adapt to the darkness around him, but he still couldn't see ahead clearly. He could only vaguely see a dark coffin hovering not far away.
Li Ang stepped forward and tapped lightly on the outer wall of the coffin.
Boom, boom, boom!
The heavy and thick coffin made a loud sound, like the beating of the heart.
"Who is pretending to be a ghost?"
Li Ang snarled, clenched his fist and smashed on the outer wall of the coffin, a layer of bluish-purple electric arc burst out, covering the entire coffin in an instant.
Creak~ creak~ creak~
A piercing sound of friction sounded from inside the coffin, and wisps of smoke emerged, condensing into a blurred and distorted face.
The owner of this face was an older woman, wearing a baggy black robe, her face was haggard, her eyes were sunken, and she looked extremely weak.
She stared at Li Ang, her lips trembled, and there was a hoarse hoarse sound in her throat, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.
Li Ang saw her face clearly, and his heart shuddered.
The facial outline of this old woman is very strange, there is no impression, it should be a new face.
And on her body, there was a trace of familiar fluctuations, it turned out to be a familiar soul!
This person... used to be a member of the magic circle, perhaps a survivor who participated in the horrible sacrificial activity back then.
It's just that for some reason, she has become like this now?
Wait... is it cursed? !
Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the top of the old woman's head, where there was a black shadow like a dark cloud, rolling and wriggling.
"who are you?"
He spoke again and asked the old woman's name, "Your soul is injured, I have a way to heal it."
Hearing Li Ang's voice, the old woman's cloudy and dim eyeballs moved, as if she wanted to speak, but she didn't make a sound.
She was stooped, swayed twice, then slumped on the ground, breathing heavily in her chest, and bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Li Ang squatted down, felt her pulse, and said with a frown, "You're injured too badly, you can't hold it anymore."
"Cough cough cough!"
The old woman waved her hands with difficulty, coughing hoarsely and dryly.
She managed to squeeze out a few weird symbols, Li Ang recognized them, they were the characters of the Sars Empire!
"Are you from Sals?!" Li Ang asked in surprise.
The Sars Empire was a very old country. It died suddenly at the end of the twentieth century, and the country was lost. Only a very small number of nobles escaped and established another form of civilization.
This culture is based on ancient mythology, and has many wonderful abilities, one of which is curse.
The so-called curse, as the name suggests, is a curse made with special magic.
In ancient Greek mythology, Ares used a curse to kill the gods.
The magic of the Sars Empire is relatively simple and crude, sealing the own soul in the coffin, waiting for the day when the curse breaks out, and letting the soul fall into the netherworld forever!
In this way, even if the soul leaves the body after death, it can continue to survive by relying on the power of the soul.
However, the Sars Empire perished more than a thousand years ago, so what happened to the woman in front of me?
There was a chill in Li Ang's heart, and he stared at her indifferently, "Are you trying to tell me that this curse requires sacrifice?"
The old woman struggled to get to Li Ang's feet, stretched out her thin arms to wrap around his legs, shook her head pleadingly, then with all her strength, she wrote an obscure spell on the side of his legs, and then used The gesture drew a symbol and handed it to his eyes.
It was a cumbersome and treacherous symbol, composed of eighteen slender black lines in series, like the teeth and claws of some kind of Magical Beasts.
Li Ang carefully identified it, and found that the strokes of the black lines intersected each other, forming a texture similar to the combination of rune and text, which looked quite like some kind of spell.
He raised his right hand, palm down, and pressed the symbol, urging the soul power to penetrate into the symbol.
hum!
The symbol lit up with a green light, and then spread rapidly, covering the entire coffin in a blink of an eye.
In an instant, the green light dissipated and everything returned to normal.
"this……"
Li Ang was stunned, and looked down at the old woman, only to see that her eyes were loose and she was no longer breathing.
Li Ang sighed, stood up, and searched around the coffin, except for an uneven cylindrical stone box, there was nothing unusual to be found.
"Huh? This is..."
Li Ang suddenly discovered that the surface of the stone box was strange, as if it contained some kind of magic.
He reached out and touched the bottom of the stone box.
Click! Click!
The cracks around the stone box expanded rapidly, and soon, it became a boxy stone box, which stuck his right hand in the center, perfectly blocking his detection.
At this time, the stone box rose slowly and floated in the air.
Li Ang tried to move his right hand, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out.
He frowned, turned on Mental Energy, and unleashed a slender whip of flame.
Snapped!
The whip lashed hard at the stone box, but the stone box didn't move at all. On the contrary, Li Ang felt a numbness in his wrist, and his right hand bounced away together.
His right hand fell to the ground, the skin on the back of his hand was broken, and bright red blood oozes out, excruciating pain.
Li Ang rubbed his sore right wrist, wondering: "Could it be that I misjudged it?"
Just when he was about to take back his right hand, the stone box suddenly shook violently a few times, making a crackling sound, and then, the stone box shattered loudly, scattering dust all over the ground.
Li Ang was stunned.
Among the fragments, a crystal-clear gem slowly floated up, emitting a soft light, reflecting the gray haze around it.
The gemstone is oval in shape, and some complex patterns are carved on the surface, shining brightly in the sun, dazzling, like a work of art.
This crystal is full of rich and pure soul power, like sea water, flowing continuously, and will not escape.
"What is this?"
Li Ang looked curiously at this strange radiant crystal, and suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Atomic energy?!"
This stone actually contains a lot of atomic energy, which is more exaggerated than he expected.
Atomic energy can refine and improve the hardness, density, toughness and other indicators of various metals, and even carry out material shaping to enhance physical defense.
Most importantly, atomic energy is of great help to any professional.
