Chen Xuan was not sure whether this [Dragon Puppet Soldier's Order] could be used.
It can only be used to control the dragon puppet soldiers created by the Black Demon Dragon Baile.
rather than a universally effective item.
The hundreds of dragon puppet soldiers near the entrance of the canyon have been wiped out.
But just in case, Chen Xuan put it away first.
If there are dragon puppet soldiers lurking deep in the misty canyon, the battle can be resolved without bloodshed.
After taking away the [Dragon Egg] and [Dragon Puppet Order], there is nothing else of value here.
He did not intend to destroy the teleportation light gate for the time being, so he chose to return to the altar hall along the wedge-shaped passage he came from.
This time, Chen Xuan no longer waited, but took out the [Thunder Surge] battle sword, stirring up leaping thunder and striking hard at the altars that were maintaining the dark beams.
"Bang, bang!"
"Kak, ka, ka, ka..."
Aside from the strange effects of the ritual, the protective ability of the altar itself is not high.
What's more, the altars here are all "crooked goods" that have been repaired, and there is still a slight gap compared with the "original genuine ones".
Under Chen Xuan's sword-wielding chop, they quickly shattered one after another.
This time the destruction was even more complete.
The base of the altar cracked in all directions, shattering into hundreds of large and small pieces.
When the altar was destroyed, it suddenly looked like a spotlight that was out of power.
The beams of light that passed straight through the rock wall suddenly disappeared.
No residual traces are left behind.
Instead, the space in the hall trembled slightly for a moment and emitted a short vibrating sound.
Every broken altar contributed a small amount of demonic source to Chen Xuan.
After devouring more than ten groups of demonic sources in succession, his demonic cultivation level improved again.
The progress originally made through the intensive training in the field of [Time Slow Walking] has been consolidated.
However, the amount of magic required to accumulate from silver level to gold level is huge.
As a threshold for magic cultivation, it is not easy to cross it quickly.
The main reason is that there are not many magic sources fed back by these altars.
I don’t know if it’s because the altar is incomplete, or if there are other hidden factors.
In addition, the real core of a crypt is not actually these altars.
But a gray portal.
If Chen Xuan chooses to destroy the magic pillar and completely destroy the portal, he can get more feedback from the magic source.
However, he made plans in advance for the possible "monster spawning" that he might need in the future, and decided to leave that portal behind.
The cave was left in a "semi-disabled" state, and the only thing left was to destroy the altar to prevent accidents from happening.
Under such circumstances, the magic source fed back by the altar can only be regarded as an added bonus.
But it's still better than nothing and can save him a period of hard work.
After dealing with the matter in this ruins cave, Chen Xuan returned to the surface with the garrison squadrons.
The area will be cordoned off and sentinel posts set up.
Just guard the entrance to the canyon to avoid most trouble.
The special topography here determines that the caves here are naturally hidden.
The fog emitted by Mist Mountain has little to do with the cave ruins themselves. It is more likely that this place is already famous.
Through observation and analysis, Chen Xuan basically had an idea.
The history of this misty mountain split apart by unknown power is far older than the history of the dragon's ban.
After passing through the misty canyon, the mountains at the northern foothills obviously also have many secrets.
The dark gold mine in Ansetus did not appear out of thin air, but was a gift from the earth.
There is a high probability that the mineral point there is located somewhere in the mountains.
Previously, Moss Black Iron, the dwarf of Madara Mine, followed Ursula Walton's commission.
Through the evaluation of the surrounding terrain and geographical research, an exploration map was marked.
With his rich prospecting experience, Moss Black Iron identified four areas from the surrounding areas that were most likely to contain dark gold mines and marked them respectively.
This includes the Misty Mountain area north of Magatan City.
It's just that the position of the mark is rough and there is a huge error.
It has to be said that the Dark Iron Dwarves with the talent for prospecting are indeed somewhat famous.
If he was given enough time to conduct on-site inspections, he might actually be able to find the right place.
Of course, there is no if.
Even if Ansetus doesn't take action, when Moss Black Iron explores the Misty Canyon, he will be attacked and killed by the monsters and dragon puppets lurking inside.
The Moore Greenleaf mercenary team he belongs to is only a bronze-level team.
He is good at fighting the autumn wind, but his actual combat power is not outstanding. He can only be arrogant in small places.
Ability such as prospecting is a relatively "off-the-beaten-path" professional skill in Naroya.
The applicable fields have already been limited invisibly.
Pouring his lips, Chen Xuan did not delve into the matter of Moer Luye.
After all, that guy Moss Black Iron might even have grass growing on his grave now, so there is no point in thinking about these issues anymore.
There are still many secrets waiting for him to discover inside the Misty Canyon.
It's a pity that Ansetus never revealed the specific coordinates of the dark gold mine.
His body did not carry any storage props or personal belongings.
It cannot be ruled out that this guy did it deliberately.
Before that, the existence of the Dark Gold Mine was a secret.
No one else should know except Ansetus and the Black Demon Dragon Baile who gave him the coordinates of the Dark Gold Mine.
And those miners responsible for mining are most likely restricted by him.
He became a coolie who could not leave at will.
For example, contracts or curses can achieve similar effects.
It is not even ruled out that Ansetus will combine a variety of means for control.
It is not difficult for him to do this.
As for the red-haired Yusula family who are partners, there is no possibility of knowing the location of the dark gold mine.
After all, they are responsible for the issues of coinage and circulation and exchange.
Chen Xuan believed that the two sides must have gone through some kind of game back then.
Thinking about these questions, he looked up at the sky.
The few black light pillars originating from here have disappeared.
The dark mandala light curtain above the head became a little fainter.
Chen Xuan took out a magic induction disk.
Seeing that the runes on it didn't light up, you could roughly get an idea of the progress of the other three-pronged suppression teams.
Mounting the gryphon again, he waved his arms and continued heading deeper into the Misty Canyon.
Taking the entrance of the ruins cave as the boundary, we advanced for about seven or eight kilometers again.
There are only a few kilometers left from the exit of the canyon.
Here, he discovered something new.
It was a giant fragment inserted diagonally into the rock base ground.
The highest point of the exposed fragment on the ground is nearly twenty meters.
It is completely matte black and has almost blended into the rock base.
It looks like "thin slices" cut from the rock wall.
If Chen Xuan hadn't maintained keen observation, he would have activated [Insight] from time to time to take a look.
Only then did he discover what was unusual here.
The prompt information fed back by that fragment in [Insight] is:
[Fragments of remnant soldiers left in ancient times]
[One-sixth-seven-thousand-seven-hundred-and-seven hundred and eighty-second fragment of the tip of the ax of fission]
[It has been eroded by the years and has long been lost. The material itself is assimilated to the earth's rocks]
...
The information is very brief, and there is no further feedback.
What Chen Xuan didn't expect was that this turned out to be a fragment of a weapon called the "Axe of Fission"!
Moreover, this fragment is only over 1/6,000 of the tip of the blade.
Extrapolating from this, wouldn't the entire ax blade have to be tens of thousands of meters long?
It seems not difficult to understand that such a huge weapon can split the Misty Mountain with one sword.
The most important thing is, what kind of terrifying creature can control such a super giant weapon?
This has obviously exceeded the current concept of extraordinary system.
I'm afraid even the Black Demon Dragon Baile in his heyday was just an insignificant ant in front of a weapon of this size.
And its history is also extremely long.
It is estimated that it should have existed before the demon invasion and the isolation of the Naloa continent.
Therefore, this concept of great power exceeds the scope of the current extraordinary system or even the demon power system.
Chen Xuan was silent for a moment, temporarily summing it up as some kind of incomprehensible ancient power.
As for the broken soldier fragments themselves, they have lost their value.
Over the long years, it lost its so-called "divine nature" and became assimilated into the earth's rocks.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but frowned.
The word "divine" aroused his alertness. It was different from those embodied gods enshrined in temples and able to negotiate and conclude contracts.
The "divine" here is more real and concrete.
After all, the split misty mountain was right in front of him, and he himself walked in the misty canyon.
This canyon is just a gap that was opened back then.
The actual destructive power is obviously not the work of the gods today.
"Could it be that in the ancient times of Naroa, there was some kind of higher-level extraordinary civilization or system?" "
Or was it really a god who came to the lower world?"
Chen Xuan was more inclined to the first possibility. sex.
The concept of gods is relatively broad.
Nowadays, the divine will condensed by rules and ideas in the Endless Continent seems to be harmless to humans and animals.
The actual influence is not small.
Because their temples are scattered throughout the endless continent.
There are countless contracts that have been concluded or are currently being concluded, and the power they absorb can be described as a hell like a sea.
It's never as simple as it seems.
And here an ancient existence opened a gap that ran for dozens of kilometers.
Although it was so powerful that Chen Xuan was frightened, but looking at the geographical scale of the entire continent.
It seems that it is not even possible to talk about destroying the world.
So he personally prefers the first possibility.
That is, the existence that split the Misty Mountain is probably an ancient strongman with a higher power level.
As for "divine will", it should be some kind of energy of equally high level.
Of course, the above are just guesses.
For now, he has not even been able to reach the peak of his magic cultivation system.
Above the silver level, above the gold level, above the platinum level...
everything seems a bit premature before the ceiling of the system has been touched.
But no matter what, this broken soldier fragment confirmed one thing.
That is, the history of Naroa is much longer than he had previously guessed.
In addition, there is a hollow grotto hanging thirty meters above the ground on the rock wall not far from the position of the remaining soldiers.
Chen Xuan rode a griffon and landed in the grotto.
This grotto is not big, and the dragon will definitely not be able to get in.
Here he saw several well-preserved murals.
The lines drawn are very clear.
The first mural mapped the surrounding mountains.
Among them, the split misty mountains and misty canyons are particularly conspicuous.
The second mural contains several lines of unknown words, and they are not psychic words that can be read by thoughts.
Even through [Insight] it is impossible to translate!
There is only one possibility for such an outcome.
That is, these lines of text themselves have nothing to do with Naroya and the demon civilization.
After all, the Rose Key is something that was born in the native world of Naroa.
Taking out his spare mobile phone for detailed recording backup, Chen Xuan frowned and looked at the third mural.
This mural was still a map, but it was just a supplement to the details of the first mural.
There are several more marked points on it.
Three of the marked points were marked with asterisks.
There are four other marked points marked with circles.
But the most eye-catching thing is a six-pointed star mark point deep in the mountains.
It is composed of two triangles overlapping each other.
"What do these points represent?"
"Could it be related to the dark gold mine hidden in the mountains?"
Chen Xuan rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes.
His intuition told him that the information recorded in these murals was not simple.
The battle relics of ancient powerful men.
Mysterious writings left by unknown ethnic groups and murals similar to exploration records...
These marking points may be the key to the secrets of the misty mountains.
As for whether it would be related to the Dark Gold Mine, he had reservations for the time being.
But this possibility is not ruled out.
Because the Black Demon Dragon Baile definitely knows about the existence of this grotto.
After studying for a while, Chen Xuan reluctantly withdrew his probing gaze.
After documenting and protecting these murals, he carefully searched the grottoes.
Later, two stone tablets with the same text written on both sides were found.
After putting it away, Chen Xuan had no other gains.
Then he slowly walked away from here.
The secrets of the Misty Mountains and the mountains to the north are worth discovering.
But there isn't much time right now.
Because there are already signs of rune changes on the magic array disk.
That means that the other three suppression teams have already entered the ritual cave.
He specifically warned the leaders of each team before taking action.
All ritual crypts must be destroyed by him himself.
In this way, you can absorb the magic source and the Rose Key fragments.
Exploring the Misty Mountains is not something that happens overnight, but is a long-term development project.
For Chen Xuan, who plans to base himself in Magatan City as the first base of the Naroa continent, he will formulate an exploration plan that is consistent with the actual situation!
Instead of blindly diverting attention, devote all your attention and energy here.
Exploring secrets is important, but Naroa is so vast.
He also couldn't give up the opportunity to set foot on the mainland.
After feeling a little more at ease, he ordered everyone to camp where they were and wait.
Then he rode a griffon into the sky and rushed to the locations of several other ritual caves.
