Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 498 Abandoned Settlement

Before entering the trench, the width of the trench is about 500 meters, and the length is undefined.Now that Angor has landed at the bottom, he controlled the light technique to circle around, and found that the width of the bottom that can be seen so far is still not large, only about [-] meters.

As far as I can see, apart from the weird protozoa, there is nothing else, not even fish.

Angel looked back and forth, the trench was very long, and he didn't know which way to go.The ocean current was also a bit chaotic, and I couldn't even feel it if I didn't pay attention. Angel stood still for a while, and finally followed the weak ocean current and swam in one direction.

The more you travel, the wider the width of the narrow walls on both sides.Like a trapezoid, Angel is heading from the narrow part to the wider part of the trench.

During this process, Angel encountered mostly plankton, as well as many invertebrates and arthropods, among which shrimps are the most common.They usually hide in the sediments on the seabed, and you can't find them at first glance. Only when Angor swims over, the water will bring up a lot of rotting sediments, and you will see the densely packed shrimps hidden underneath.

After swimming for about half an hour, Angel found that the oxygen content in the water was getting more and more sufficient.

When Angor saw that the sediment on the seabed became rarer and wider, reaching several thousand meters in width, he finally saw the second artificial building after entering the purified sea.

It was a building of unknown purpose, the material looked like stone, the bottom was a piled triangle, the two waists seemed to be almost equal, and the height was about twenty meters.At the top of the triangle is a concentric circle, which is hollow and has two harpoons interlaced.

"It doesn't look like a useful building? Or does it have other symbolic meanings?" Angel swam forward and looked it over carefully.

The lower triangle is piled with countless gravels, the upper concentric circles are polished by huge stones, and the inner harpoon is framed inside and can be taken out.

Angel took out the harpoon and took a look. It was very similar to the harpoon of the frog skin monster, and they were all ordinary things.The fishbone used as the arrow is very sharp.

"Weapon rack?" Angel shook his head, who would be stupid enough to put the weapon rack outside.Even in tribes with primitive civilizations, weapons were the most precious thing, and they were definitely carried with them.

Angor couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply dropped it and continued to swim forward.

This trip is another few kilometers.Angel saw at least ten similar buildings, all of which were triangles on top of concentric circles, which made him even more puzzled.

"Or is it a tomb? These weapons were used in life, and they were used as decorations after death?" Angel stopped in front of a strange building again, and directly impacted with magic power, knocking away the gravel at the bottom of it.

The inside of the gravel is still gravel, and there are no bones and remains as he imagined.

"It's not a tomb, nor is it a weapon rack. Could it be a totem pole?" Angel remembered that many primitive tribes had their own totem poles, on which they hung the heads of their enemies or members of their own tribe to intimidate foreign enemies.

While Angel was thinking, he came to the next building.

His eyes lit up when he saw a skull on the top of the building's concentric circles.

This is the skull of an unknown beast. It doesn't look like a fish, but a reptile on the ground.With this skull, Angel basically confirmed that this building is a totem pole.

However, since it is a totem pole, and the skull that threatens foreign enemies has been hung, Angel thinks about another question... What is the foreign enemy they threaten?

If this building was made by a frog skin monster, according to the strength of the previous frog skin monster, it shouldn't be able to threaten those arthropods and invertebrate creatures in the trench, right?
To intimidate the owner of this skull?Or is there a more dangerous foreign enemy in this deep sea?
Angor came out of a transparent cover with doubts. This cover had energy reactions, and he could vaguely see some of the internal environment. For example, there was no sediment on the ground, which was obviously the result of someone cleaning it up.

Angel stretched out his hand and directly penetrated the cover.

When he entered the hood, he found that there was no moisture in it, and it was filled with rich oxygen.Based on various signs, Angel can be sure that there should have been some kind of intelligent life staying here.

But he didn't see any light.

Unlocking the boundless silence, Angel walked inside.After a while, he saw a dozen houses piled up with rubble, and at the same time, he also saw the end of the light shield.

The light shield doesn't look that big, but it covers the dozens of houses.Moreover, almost half of these houses are broken, and they look like abandoned settlements.However, the broken time should not be very long. Judging from the traces, it should be within the past two years.

Angel circled around with the tentacles of mental power, as he guessed, there were no living things in the house.

Through the tentacles of mental power, Angel could see the condition of part of the house, which was empty, as well as some shells and coral decorations.

Angel went straight to the house in the middle.

This is a dome house covering an area of ​​about ten meters, smaller than the fortress of the frog skin monster he discovered earlier, but it is the largest room in the entire abandoned settlement, and it is also the room with the least damage.

Angel gently pushed the door open, and immediately several sharp arrows shot out from the door.

He turned his head and dodged the blow.Angor looked inside, the empty room, the reason why the arrow is good is because there is a trigger mechanism at the top.

As soon as he stepped into it, Angel suddenly moved his ears, turned his head suddenly, and looked outside the door.

A piece of pitch black.

"Something's wrong." Angel frowned, and just as he entered the room, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind.

He came out and controlled the light technique to keep wandering, but the illumination range of the light technique was too small, and he didn't see any suspicious creatures.

"Illusion?" In this cramped and narrow deep-sea trench, it is suspicious, so the illusion is caused?

Whether it was an illusion or not, Angel still stretched the string in his heart.

Re-entering the igloo house, Angel didn't see anything useful in this room, but he saw the familiar mermaid totem in the pattern on the roof... So, this should be the settlement of the frog skin monster , but discarded.

Angor also found a pair of metal long soldiers carved with exquisite patterns. Judging from this weapon, the frog skin monster should have mastered the smelting technology.But there is no smelting place here, that is to say, this settlement is not actually the main camp of the frogskin monster.

Moreover, he also saw some fabrics made of special materials, which obviously could not appear in the barren trenches.

While Angel was thinking, his ears moved again, and he heard the rustling sound again.

He immediately jumped out of the house and looked around, but still didn't see anything weird.It's not right, it's not that there are no weirdness, but in the absolute darkness, it's not easy for him to find the weirdness.

Angel circled around the settlement, but didn't find any more, so he planned to leave.Continue to look down the trench to see if there are still settlements of frog skin monsters.

However, just as Angor was about to pass through the mask, two bright green lights suddenly lit up behind him silently, and without any sound, they quietly swam towards Angor.

Angor's movements paused, and when the attack was about to come, he stepped on the ground, turned over on the ground, and landed on the back of the attacker.

The other party was obviously surprised, why was it discovered even though it was silent at all.

Angel threw a fear spell in the past, and the opponent swayed, and his whole body began to tremble.Angor shone the light technique and saw the attacker clearly.

This is a strange reptile with a long beak and a rodent. It is about five or six meters tall. Its head is like a crocodile or a lizard, but its body is a streamlined marine creature. The two pairs of fins are like cattail fans. Bigger than slim body.

Moreover, it is still flying in mid-air.

When Angel was observing it, suddenly, a red light appeared in its green eyes.

Angor's pupils shrank: "Oops, the fear technique was exempted!"

It is true that the fear technique can evoke the most feared thing in the heart. Even if someone is mature and thoughtful and sees through it as an illusion, it is still difficult to be exempted.Only enemies who are too dull and start to go mad as soon as they are provoked are most likely to be exempted from the fear spell.

Obviously, this unknown creature belongs to the latter.

Its eyes were red and mad.

With a loud roar, the shock of strong energy made Angel a little dizzy for a while, and then he was pushed to the chest and abdomen, and a hole was split.

The smell of blood stimulated the other party even more crazy.Its melee strength is estimated to reach the peak of the second level. Under the crazy attack, Angor's physical disadvantage is revealed here.Facing this kind of close opponent who is extremely fast and whose attack frequency makes it impossible to release the illusion, he can easily fall into a passive position.

Angel could only dodge the opponent's attack by rolling subconsciously.

After dodging two or three times in a row, the opponent lost speed and rushed out of the cover.Angor finally had some free time, took out the velvet potion from the bracelet, and drank it in one gulp.At the same time, Angor finally had the opportunity to read the secret soul whisper.

The water light of the cover reflected a faint red light.

The reason why Angel was able to spot this strange creature before was because of the reflection of the cover, he saw a faint green light behind him.Now, he once again judged the opponent's position by using the light reflected from the cover.

The other party is elusive, but after all, his wisdom is not deep.

After Angor's soul came out of his body, his speed far surpassed the opponent's. Angel dodged several times in a row and came to the blind spot of the opponent's perspective. mouth.

Just heard a loud bang.

The gravity cannon penetrated into its body, and its body exploded from the inside, turning into pieces of flesh and blood, flying down.

Angel also let out a long breath, and when he was about to examine the monster's body, the ground suddenly shook, and a huge buzzing sound came from the other end of the trench.

Angel looked at the source of the sound, but couldn't see anything.

The only thing I can see is the endless water flow, which is constantly surging and coming in the opposite direction.
