Chapter 97 22. The explosion rate is so high.
In the City of Ashes, Pahuakos is a very magical place.
This place once welcomed the first group of elves to visit, although the ending was not very happy.
Of course, the most amazing thing is the chameleon, a local specialty here. The hatching pool in Pahuakos basically only hatches chameleons, and the explosion rate is so high.
With the fall of Pahuakos and the slaying of the last Chameleon after the Battle of Blood Canyon, this subspecies of Skink was considered extinct by the Slann. However, with the advent of the Age of Dispute in Imperial Calendar 315, chameleons can emerge from the incubation pools of other temple cities. Of course, the explosion rate is only 2% at most.
Darkus looked around the entire Pahuakos, trying to determine where the feeling was coming from.
In the distance, the Skink Prophet rode a cave dragon and slowly came over. The Skink Priests who had learned the news in advance and were stationed in Pahuakos also came closer.
The Drukis and Genevieve were all amazed by the teleportation technique, but they immediately turned to look at the Skink Seer, mainly looking at the strange-looking cave dragon that was five meters tall.
Chupa Coco went to communicate with the Skink Priests.
"Don't worry, you can see enough for the rest of the journey."
Darkus waved to the Druchs, continued to observe Pahuakos and recalled what Chupacoco said yesterday.
During the great invasion, Slambocasar here tried to manipulate energy magic to expel demons. He needed time to summon mysterious power to provide energy for the magic. The lizards and chameleons who retreated to the city fought to the death under the leadership of the legendary chameleon Osiotan. He buys time. But unfortunately, the changing power of the Chaos Wind deceived him, and the huge energy magic went out of control. The uncontrolled energy magic spiraled up, tearing a rift in the air leading to the Chaos Demon Realm.
The Slann and his last defenders were sucked into the Realm of Chaos, Pahuakos aged thousands of years in mere seconds, and most of the temple city and all of its inhabitants were Turned into dust, only the pyramid in front of Darkus suffered devastating damage but survived.
Master Ma presided over six repairs in the past seven thousand years. During the repairs in 1890 in the Imperial Calendar, the Egg of Quanguo was dug up. At this moment, the egg was held in Alyssa's hand.
"Set up camp in the square."
Darkus looked at the weather-beaten but still standing pyramid in front of him, thought for a moment and then gave the order.
The Skink Seer jumped off the back of the cave dragon, walked up to Darkus and began to introduce.
"The Skink Prophet Akadan obeys your orders."
Darkus also jumped off the big guy's back, without shaking hands, but looked at Akadan and asked as he pointed at the pyramid.
"Hello, Akadan. Have you explored this pyramid?"
Akadan looked confused when asked, then nodded and vowed.
"We've all explored it!"
Darkus didn't argue or argue with Akadan. It was pointless. In his eyes, intelligent biological robots like Skinks were unreliable. In the 535th year of the Imperial Calendar, the first two-tailed skink was born in the Itaza hatching pool. This skink has a magical ability to tame cave dragons.
The Skinks had previously been unable to tame such ferocious beasts as the Troglodyte, and all creatures that came close to the Troglodyte would be attacked. But the Skink Seer can directly tame the cave dragon with the same two-forked tail. Once the cave dragon is tamed by the Skink Seer, this ferocious giant beast will never abandon its master.
Decorating the troglodyte with gems and gold to honor the sacred status of the troglodyte, the Skink Seers would ride the troglodyte through the jungles of Lustria, using their arcane oracular abilities to find tablets, lost objects of the Old Ones, or investigate spiritual veins. Disturbance felt in the giant network.
There was no cooking pot to show off, and it was only around 9 o'clock in the morning. The Druchis entered the pyramid after preparing the weapons and equipment for the mound and lunch.
Warm water droplets slid down from the cracks in the pyramid stones and landed at the entrance of the pyramid. A drop of water happened to drip into the gap between the armor links on the back of Darkos's neck. The water droplet slid down the back of his neck to his waist, and he couldn't help but shudder.
The dark hallway smelled of musty, rotten, ancient dampness. The Skink Priests stationed here lead the way. Although the pyramid has been cleaned several times, the Skink Priests do not live here. In the words of the Skink Priests, it needs to be repaired a few more times.
Akadan also followed the team. He was a little unhappy. The marquee above his head was constantly changing colors, as if he thought that Darkus, a hot-blooded species, was questioning his oracle's authority.
Darkus ignored Arkadan, but stretched out his hand to touch the smooth stone above his head. The height of the ceiling was a bit low, and he could do it easily. The stones were cold and wet, the huge stones were cleverly combined, and red fungi grew in some places. He used torches and glowing crystals to The light looked at the contents on the wall.
"It seems that there is no better experience than being led by a lizard man on the mound of a lizard man."
Each stone is engraved with hieroglyphics and murals, telling different stories and depicting some strangely square shapes. Humanoid lizards doing incomprehensible things.
Although Darkus couldn't understand the precise meaning, it seemed to be telling a story like revenge. A vicious creature with an extremely abstract shape transformed into various darts, javelins and arrows, swaying its anger towards enemies in the distance and teaching them. And inspire the lizard people to exact brutal revenge on their enemies.
"This is this?" Darkus asked, pointing to the abstract creatures on the mural.
Chupa Coco and Akadan looked at each other for a while, and Akadan hissed: "This is Shapati, the vengeful incarnation of the ancient saint."
"It's so exciting... so charming."
After walking for a long time, Aisle, start walking along the stairs towards the upper level of the pyramid.
Darkus took a few steps, suddenly stopped, and stepped back. He had a feeling, although it was not the power of fate, but this feeling vaguely told him that the wall was wrong.
Diga was almost crawling behind him. When he stopped, he was still crawling and knocked down the Druchi trainers who were walking in front of him. The team was in chaos for a while. Unable to advance or retreat.
After struggling for a while, order was finally maintained. Darkus stood in front of the wall and studied it for a long time. Ren and Kalien had fought with him once before and knew some taboos. He just held up the luminous crystal to illuminate the wall, checking it repeatedly, but without touching it.
"Akadan, come and take a look. There should be something weird
about this wall." Although Darkus was calling Akadan, he was actually calling the big boss behind Akadan.
