Xu Sili stared at Si Sheng speechlessly.
Now that he was the size of a figurine, he could see many times more clearly. In his eyes, Si Sheng was like a giant.
Fortunately, the halo that Si Sheng had cast on him seemed to be able to protect him. The sound that he heard was normal, so it did not hurt his ears.
"Change me back first," Xu Sili said.
He felt that since Si Sheng could change back himself, it should be possible for him to change back too, right?
However, there was obvious hesitation in Si Sheng's eyes.
Xu Sili was still hugging Si Sheng's finger. When he saw Si Sheng's expression, he guessed what he was thinking. He could not help but open his mouth and bite Si Sheng's finger.
Si Sheng did not feel any pain at all. Instead, he felt an itch on his finger that went straight to his heart.
Looking at the miniature person in his hand, his eyes were filled with love. He felt like his heart was about to melt into water.
Xu Sili finally let go.
He realized that even if he was the size of a normal person, he might not be able to hurt him, let alone now that he was so small. Rather than calling it a punishment, it was more like flirting.
"Si Sheng!" He glared at him angrily.
However, not only was his angry expression not intimidating, it was even cuter in Si Sheng's eyes.
However, Si Sheng still started to pacify him.
He closed his eyes again, and a golden light enveloped Xu Sili's body again.
Xu Sili waited quietly, but he suddenly had a kind of enlightenment in his heart.
He stared at Si Sheng.
Sure enough, when the golden light disappeared, he still did not change back to his original form.
Si Sheng opened his eyes and looked at him innocently. "Ali …"
"Alright, you don't have to say anymore." Xu Sili rolled his eyes. "If I continue to maintain this size, can you protect me?"
Si Sheng laughed. "I will never let you get hurt."
Xu Sili sighed deeply. What else could he do? Since she had chosen her own boyfriend, she could only pamper him.
"Alright, let's continue exploring the ruins."
He said, "I'm a little curious. What is the relationship between this Inscription Master and the Spirit Demon? Why did he design such a barrier?"
If it was to protect the entrance to the ruins …
Then why didn't he add an offensive inscription after turning the outsider into the size of a fairy? Or set up a trap or something? After all, with so many of its attributes weakened, it would be very easy to kill it.
Or could it be that the Inscription Master was fearless?
After making the outsiders smaller, they no longer had to worry about bringing trouble to them?
Xu Sili had no way to know, but he felt that he would get the answer after exploring the ruins.
As for Si Sheng, he was not interested in the ruins.
He just came here to relax with his Ali. He didn't expect there to be such a pleasant surprise.
He added another layer of protection for the young man.
Of these two layers of protection, one could transfer the damage he received to himself, and the other formed a protective shield. Even if he was hit by a heavy object, this protective shield would not be broken.
Then, he put the young man on his shoulder.
Xu Sili found that there was a transparent wall of air around him. No matter how he jumped on Si Sheng's shoulder, he would not fall to the ground.
Alright.
He accepted the fact that he was temporarily a figurine and began to pay attention to his surroundings.
Although his body had become smaller, he could still use his spiritual power. However, his spiritual power, which could originally extend to a distance of a few thousand meters, was now limited to the inside of the big banyan tree.
There was a "Spirit Demon Barrier" set up here, but when the sun shone in, it did not shrink. In Xu Sili's eyes, it was as if the tree was inlaid with a sun. It was exceptionally dazzling.
He retracted his gaze and extended his spiritual power downwards.
The space inside the big banyan tree was quite large. Even if Si Sheng turned back to his original size, he could still move around.
For Si Sheng, the space inside the banyan tree was clear at a glance.
He squatted down slightly and looked at the ground. A gust of wind blew past and blew away the sand on the surface, revealing a square stone tablet.
There was a complicated pattern on the stone tablet. It seemed to be a puzzle. Only by solving the puzzle could the stone tablet be moved away and the passage below would be revealed.
The system notification that Xu Sili received also reminded him of this.
He looked at the pattern and fell into deep thought.
Si Sheng observed for a while, then reached out and tapped the stone tablet a few times. The pattern on the stone tablet changed, and soon there was a clicking sound. Then, it slowly moved away, revealing the passage below.
Xu Sili was speechless.
Si Sheng solved the puzzle so quickly?
However, he soon felt relieved.
After all, Si Sheng was a monster who could master card skills in an instant. He was even more powerful than the players. What was so surprising about solving a puzzle so quickly?
Xu Sili gave up thinking and became a mascot.
"Are the ruins below us?" Xu Sili asked.
Si Sheng nodded. "I sensed it. It should be here."
"Then let's go down and take a look?"
Si Sheng responded and walked down the stone steps.
The stone steps were obviously the size of a normal human. Therefore, the ruins must have been built by humans.
Then, was the "fairy enchantment" at the end of the passage just a coincidence?
Could it be that the fairies captured by the players in the future were some kind of creature that had been shrunk and escaped, and was coincidentally captured by the players?
Xu Sili frowned slightly. Did that mean that even if he got out of here, his body wouldn't be able to return to its normal size?
However, he soon felt relieved.
Anyway, with Si Sheng around, he would definitely be able to turn him back.
It was dark in the passage and nothing could be seen.
Si Sheng took out a few floating lamps.
After he turned them on, the floating lamps gathered within a two-meter radius of him and floated in mid-air to illuminate the area.
Xu Sili had previously complained that the lamps were like will-o '-the-wisps when walking in the dark. He didn't expect to use them so soon.
As the lamps lit up, he saw the murals on both sides of the passage.
Xu Sili was attracted by the exquisite murals and was entranced for a while. Gradually, he seemed to be drawn into an illusion.
The floating lamps were extinguished again, and the surroundings were dark. Slowly, there was sound.
It was like someone's nagging. He wanted to listen carefully, but he realized that he couldn't understand anything.
Finally, there was light and color in front of him again.
He saw a youth standing at the top of a large Siyassa banyan tree. He was looking at something with a panicked expression.
The nagging disappeared and turned into the terrifying roars of exotic beasts and the panicked screams of people.
Xu Sili slowly saw more and more clearly.
This was the Siyassa Jungle, or rather, it was the Siyassa Jungle when the natural disaster struck a hundred years ago.
As for Xu Sili, he finally truly understood the scene when the natural disaster befell —
A crack suddenly appeared in the originally peaceful forest. Ferocious-Looking exotic beasts ran out from the crack one after another.
The people who lived in this jungle organized a defense. The weapons in their hands released a dazzling light, and the shields in their hands formed a hard shield.
In the strong resistance, the exotic beasts were annihilated!
The people cheered and held a celebratory bonfire party. The youth that Xu Sili saw at the beginning was sitting next to the largest bonfire. He sat next to a few good friends and raised his wine glass happily.
Xu Sili seemed to be able to hear the melody of the toast song. Looking at the scene of people singing without restraint, he couldn't help but sigh.
As he sighed, the scene changed again.
The cracks appeared again, and more and more.
From one or two at the beginning, there were more than ten cracks appearing at the same time. The number of exotic beasts coming out of the cracks also increased, and there was a variety of exotic beasts.
Even the powerful Siyassa people started to suffer casualties.
In the background of the tragic battle, Xu Sili saw the original scene of the bonfire party again. However, the smiling youth's good friends around him dimmed one after another.
The people in the background all disappeared into the darkness in the end, leaving only the youth.
The smile on his face turned into sorrow. He covered his face and wept, his entire person gradually shrouded in darkness.
The sounds of the battle gradually died down.
The originally lively jungle turned into a mess. Fortunately, the cracks seemed to have disappeared.
The survivors didn't dare to let their guard down. They lived in fear every day, but no one gave up on their home. Moreover, it was the same everywhere in the world. It didn't matter where they went.
Such peaceful days continued for a while. The people's lives gradually returned to normal. They planted a new big banyan tree. Seeing the sapling grow green leaves, the youth's face showed a smile again.
However, the smile quickly disappeared.
This time, no cracks appeared. Those exotic beasts appeared out of thin air in every corner of the village. What was even more terrifying was that there were also exotic plants.
Those black plants appeared in every corner of the jungle. They were sinister, terrifying, and full of aggression.
Soon, the village was destroyed.
Only the elderly and children who had been moved underground in time were lucky enough to survive.
However, what awaited them was still a disaster.
The ground was occupied by the exotic beasts and plants. They were aggressive and couldn't fight them at all.
The elderly and children hiding underground gradually ran out of food and were infected with terrifying diseases. In the end, only the youth was left.
He sat alone on the stone steps of the underground passage. His back view was so sad and hopeless.
"I am the one with the best talent. I am also the one with the most hope to walk the path of the strongest."
"But, I can't protect them."
"For the inheritance of the inscriptionists, I have to hold on until the last moment."
"Successor, when you see this illusion of the inscriptions, I should be no longer here. However, I have left behind the complete inheritance of the inscriptionists."
"This is my last gift to the world. I hope you can inherit it and let the history of the inscriptionists continue …"
In the end, the voice became much older.
Xu Sili also saw the figure who was inscribing the inscriptions on the stone tablet in the passage.
The young and tender youth at the beginning became a white-haired old man. He was trapped alone in this lost jungle, in this underground ruin, and survived for countless days.
From white hair to white hair, he left with regret and hope …
Finally, this illusion came to an end. Xu Sili struggled free from the illusion and returned to reality.
However, his emotions couldn't calm down for a long time.
