[There's one more before 12. If you're tired, go to sleep. If you're awake, ask for recommendation votes after 12. Push me up, run naked …]
Returning to the altar from the tunnel, the little demon Nelis had already stood up. She no longer looked so dispirited. She obediently stuck close to Salin and whispered in his ear, "Master, are you looking for an exit?"
Salin frowned slightly. Nelis knew why Salin was unhappy and said, "When I learn your current language, I'll call you Captain."
"Hmph." Salin exhaled through his nose. He was afraid that his mind was not firm and would be tempted by this little demon. Although there was a soul contract, it was hard to say that there would be no danger.
"This altar is the entrance and exit. The person who built the temple could leave directly from here. So I've waited here for thousands of years. " Nelis's voice was filled with infinite sorrow. Salin knew that he could not stop her. This was probably the nature of a little demon. She wanted to tempt people all the time.
"It seems that Master doesn't have such great power." Nelis stretched her waist. After transforming, her tail disappeared, which made her a little unaccustomed.
"Is there no other way?"
"If there was, I would have escaped long ago."
Salin was silent. He rubbed the Blessing Ring on his hand. After a while, he said, "Cang Hong, when you found the entrance to the ruins, what did it look like?"
Cang Hong's face turned slightly red. "It doesn't seem to be here. It's a magic tower, buried underground. Only its spire is exposed."
She actually went the wrong way? How could this work?
"Everyone spread out and carefully check if there's any place on the altar that can be embedded with gems." Salin now only hoped that this ancient magic circle had a simple function that could allow people with low strength to enter and exit. Teleportation circles were very rare. All the teleportation circles in the four empires added up were less than 20. These magic circles could be used by ordinary people. Each time it consumed a lot of gems, it was expensive.
But as long as he could leave this place, Salin could still afford it. He was not a demon. If he was really trapped here, it would not take tens of thousands of years. He would starve to death in a month.
Unknowingly, Cang Hong began to listen to Salin's orders. In terms of strength, Salin was no match for him in close combat, and he was no match for Salin when the distance between them was pulled apart. Originally, he had some self-control, but after a few changes, Salin had unknowingly become the leader of the team.
"Leader, there's a cave here!" Shika's voice was very loud, echoing above the altar.
Salin came to Shika's side, bent down, and touched the ground with his hand, feeling the magic veins. The hole that Shika found was at the intersection of the magic lines. Sure enough, there was a suspicious gem embedded there.
Salin stuck his finger in and felt the structure of the cave. He discovered that it was a pedestal inlaid with 24 jewels.
There were two types of gemstones needed to activate the Teleportation Matrix. One of them was a crystal known as the White Spirit, and the other was a chalcedony. Salin's harvest this time included both types of gems. The White Spirit's value was fixed, but the Jade Essence was very difficult to obtain.
While Salin was thinking about what kind of gem to use to activate the magic array, Cang Hong and Sarah also found the holes for the gems. Normally, three positioning gems were enough to activate the Teleportation Matrix. Salin felt a little heartache. The three holes were not small. After the gems were embedded, he would not be able to retrieve them.
It was better to use the White Spirit. He only had two pieces of chalcedony in his hand. He could not cut it into three pieces.
Salin took out a White Spirit crystal the size of a rattan ball gloomily, feeling a little worried. The White Spirit was very hard. How could he cut it into a regular 24 faceted shape?
Mages above level four had a water spell — Water Cut. This spell could be used to cut all kinds of gems. Unfortunately, Salin was only a level one mage. Using extremely hot refined gold threads could also cut gems. Salin's Blessing Ring had a piece of refined gold, but he was not an alchemist. He could not draw refined gold, which was a hundred times harder than steel, into thin threads and heat it up.
Shika, Cang Hong, and Sarah were obviously unable to do such a delicate job. Neris saw Salin's worry and was quick-witted. She said, "Master, what's the problem? Can I help?"
"You? Do you have a way to deal with this White Spirit? Cut it into three pieces. I want 24 faceted crystals of the same cross-section size, with the bottom four inches long, the same shape as the magic core of a magic beast. " Salin thought that this little demon had lived for tens of thousands of years, so she should have some ability. At least, she should know a few high-level spells.
Neris took the White Spirit from Salin's hands. This was a piece of crystal ore that was relatively primitive. There were still some impurities on the outer layer, and it had not been processed. She observed for a while, then suddenly put the White Spirit close to her mouth and bit it. The hard crystal made a cracking sound, and a piece was bitten off by Neris.
"Neris!" Salin was anxious. This thing was used to escape, and the little demon wanted to eat it?
Neris used her (it?) His slender fingers dug into his mouth a few times and found the crystal shards that had been bitten off. He handed it to Salin and said, "Master, is every surface this big?"
Salin was a little dazed. The little demon was very capable. With one bite, there was a flat surface that was four inches long on the White Spirit. Were those teeth or a file? Even magic armor wouldn't be able to block such sharp teeth.
"Good job, Nelis. Keep it up!" Salin praised the little devil. Neris held the White Spirit and began to chew it in big mouthfuls. The scene was too horrible to look at. Because she had to divide the White Spirit into three pieces, when Neris opened her mouth to its widest, she was already like a crocodile. There was an obtuse angle between the mandible and the upper jaw.
Cutting the gem would inevitably produce pieces. The pieces that the little demon bit off were very regular, and the cross-section was also flat. Salin collected them one by one. These White Spirit pieces could be embedded into rings, and some could even be used to make larger magic tools. Salin was a person who was afraid of poverty, and he could not bear to waste anything.
In half an hour, three perfect 24-faceted gems were cut out by the little demon's teeth and embedded in the magic array. Next was a problem — how to activate the magic array.
Activating the magic array required an incantation. The incantation for this magic array was on the back of the map that Salin had obtained. However, Salin was only level one, and spatial magic was something that only Magic Shooters could master.
Salin already had an idea in his mind. There must be a reason why he was sucked in by this magic array. The biggest possibility was that he had used the Goddess's Guard and triggered this magic array. This magic array might still have some divine power left, which was why the four of them were sucked in.
Other than that, Salin could not think of any other reason. He tidied up his magic robe, walked to the center of the magic array, and waved to everyone. Neris was the first to run to Salin's side, followed by Sicca, Sala, and finally Cang Hong. Salin began to chant the incantation, and the Blessing Ring once again emitted a green glow.
The divine spell was not completed, but it triggered a response from the magic array. The three gems embedded in the magic array emitted a dazzling white light, and the entire huge magic array lit up.
Salin was secretly delighted. It was indeed an automatic magic array. Only the believers of the Goddess could enter. If he could trigger the remaining divine power in the Blessing Ring, he could be recognized by this teleportation array. If that was the case, he could come again in the future!
Actually, Salin didn't want to leave the ruins of the Divine Temple immediately. If possible, he wanted to cultivate in this place for a while to at least recover his injured left hand. The injury on his left hand needed a long time to recover. Although it didn't affect his movement, he couldn't cast level 2 magic spells.
However, there were still people from the Holy Church in the Chaos Swamp. He didn't know what their goal was, but no matter what, it wouldn't end well for him if he encountered them. The location of this temple was quite hidden. He left a lot of traces on his way here, and it was hard to guarantee that the entrance wouldn't be discovered.
White light beams shot out of the magic array, refracted in the air, and intertwined with each other, forming a huge sphere that enveloped Salin and the others.
This teleportation was very easy; it didn't feel like he was being tortured by thousands of blades. Salin felt his body lighten, and he lost his balance slightly. Then, he arrived at the pond before entering the temple. Immediately, Sicca, Neris, Cang Hong, and Sala were all teleported out.
Salin was very nervous. There was Diascara in this pond, and he was no match for it. Now that his magic string was full, he could only release 24 Water Pattern Shields. Who knew how many Diascaras were in this pond? He tried his best to swim up. The little demon sensed his nervousness, so she twisted her body and followed him like a flash of lightning. She was even better at swimming than Salin.
Before the smell of blood in the pond dissipated, dozens of Diascaras with hard shells suddenly appeared in the darkness and pounced at Salin. Salin cursed his bad luck. As he was about to attack, the little demon already dashed up excitedly. She reached out her hands and grabbed one Diascara in each hand. Then, she put them in her mouth and bit them.
Diascaras had hard shells, and even low-level magic spells couldn't damage them. However, Neris' teeth were too sharp; she could even cut through gems. After starving for more than 100 years, the little demon finally saw a living prey. She was very excited and bit one to death. She didn't even have time to chew before she sucked out the blood of Diascaras.
The magic power of a little demon at her level was too ordinary. However, in terms of close combat and physical strength, even Sicca who was blessed by the priest couldn't compare with her. Although Diascaras were level five magical beasts, their intelligence was unusually low. None of them released magic to attack the little demon. Instead, they opened their mouths and wanted to bite off a piece of meat from Neris.
They trusted their shells too much. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Diascaras were devoured by Neris, and the empty shells sank into the water. Seeing the little demon's way of eating, Salin was a little shocked. If Neris wasn't so hungry that she had no strength at all, he wouldn't have had the chance to subdue her.
The shells of these fish-type magical beasts were also good alchemy materials. Unfortunately, Salin's leather bag was full. He was not in the mood to pick them up underwater. He just increased his speed and swam towards the light above his head.
Whoosh …
Salin revealed half of his head above the water and quickly dived again. The Mountain Cleaver was still on the shore. What worried him was that the Mountain Cleaver was already dead. Its huge head rolled to the side of the water, and there was no one around.
