Chapter 506 The Lost City
The scroll recorded a long forgotten history, or rather a story about Alex. When Alex was making a cursed object, the entire altar was suddenly surrounded by a strong energy, and he felt an irresistible force pulling him. He knew that he was fighting a battle with the power of darkness. He concentrated all his energy and continued to chant the spell, and finally at the last moment, he completed the cursed object.
However, the cursed object did not show its powerful power as expected. Instead, it began to absorb the energy around it and became increasingly unstable. Alex realized that he might have made a fatal mistake. He tried to control the cursed object, but it was too late. The cursed object burst out a strong energy wave, destroying the entire building around the altar. Alex was knocked to the ground by the huge shock wave and lost consciousness.
When Alex woke up, he found himself lying in a ruin, and the surrounding scene was in a mess. His father and the tribe members surrounded him anxiously, thankful that he was still alive. Although the trial failed, Alex's courage and persistence won the respect of the tribe. After seeing all this, his father miraculously recovered and told Alex that the real power lies not in controlling darkness, but in the light within.
From that day on, Alex was determined not to use the power of darkness anymore. He began to explore the other side of the abyss, looking for materials that could bring hope and healing. He believed that the lava abyss was not only a curse, but could also be the starting point of hope. With his efforts, the Abyss Tribe gradually transformed and began to develop rapidly, eventually growing from a small tribe into a medium-sized city. He began to use the power of the abyss for good, and it became a city that passed on hope and light.
The real power does not lie in using darkness, but in finding the inner light and using it to change the world. Alex's experience is not only a trial, but also a spiritual baptism, which leads him to real growth. Xingluo wanted to laugh when he saw this. The latter part was obviously fabricated by the Holy See of Light to promote the God of Light. It is estimated that only the previous part about the location of the tribe and the materials needed to make cursed objects are true, or they are all false. Anyway, the things processed by the Holy See of Light have long lost their original appearance, but these are enough. Xingluo walked out of the room when he thought of this. He planned to go to that city to have a look. He had always used alchemy to make cursed objects. Although he had strong mental power and used good materials, he always felt that it was a bit of a waste. He should be able to make better cursed objects. Xingluo took a deep breath when he thought of this and recalled the location of that city.
The location of that city should be the Lost City on the map. After Xingluo left the city, he found that no one was around to spy on him, so he used dark magic containing space energy to teleport there. The teleportation magic blessed with space elements was indeed not comparable to simple dark magic. Not only was the teleportation distance far, but the casting speed was also very fast. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the Lost City. It was indeed the same as described in the records. It was probably destroyed by the cursed object. Xingluo wanted to know more about the means used to make this cursed object.
The Lost City, this once glorious and prosperous tribe, or ancient city, is now buried deep in the hot lava, with only a few ruined buildings and statues emerging from the lava. Once upon a time, this was the center of civilization, full of life and vitality, but now it has become a dead ruin. Walking into the ruins, Xingluo was also shocked by the scene in front of him. Everything here has been eroded by the power of time and curse, but one can still glimpse the glory of the past.
From a distance, the outline of the lost city was vaguely visible, and the remains of several towering towers and palaces still stood in the sea of lava, like desperate watchers. After approaching, Xingluo found that the outer walls of these buildings were covered with thick layers of obsidian. These obsidian exuded a dark luster in the sun, as if telling the disaster that the city had experienced. The once prosperous streets can be vaguely seen in the ruins, but now they are buried by lava, leaving only some broken stone roads and collapsed arches.
In the center of the Lost City, there is a huge square, which was once a place for gatherings and celebrations. Today, there is only a desolate area, and a huge statue stands in the center of the square. The owner of the statue is unknown, but it can be seen that he was once a hero or ruler of this city. The statue has been eroded by lava and is unrecognizable, with only some blurred outlines and traces of lava burns. However, standing here, you can still feel the weight of history and the vicissitudes of time.
Around the square, there are ruins of some buildings, which used to be shops, residences and public facilities. The walls of many buildings have collapsed, leaving only some broken walls and broken doors and windows. Lava flowed through these ruins, leaving behind scorched marks and stones melted by high temperatures. Some houses still retain some furniture and decorations inside, but most of them are covered by lava and their original appearance cannot be recognized. In these ruins, you can occasionally see some glittering gems and metal fragments, which seem to be the wealth left by the former residents, but no one cares about them now.
On the edge of the Lost City, there are several towers still standing. Although they are dilapidated, you can still see their former magnificence. These towers used to be the city's watchtowers or fortifications. Now their walls are full of cracks, and some of the tops have completely collapsed. Xingluo climbed up the tower and looked down at the entire ruins. Seeing the ruins swallowed by lava, he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation.
At the north end of the Lost City, there is an ancient temple. This temple is the religious center of the city and was once a place of prayer and worship. The outer walls of the temple are carved with complex patterns and symbols, which record the beliefs and history of this civilization. Walking into the temple, you can see that although the altars and statues inside have been damaged, you can still feel the sacredness and solemnity. There are some broken pottery and metal utensils scattered on the ground of the temple. They were once sacrificial supplies, but now they have been forgotten in the long river of history.
Behind the temple, there is an underground tomb where the nobles and heroes of the city are buried. The entrance to the tomb is blocked by lava and can only be entered through some narrow passages. The inside of the tomb is dark and damp, and the air is filled with a smell of decay. There are some murals painted on the walls of the tomb, depicting the rise and fall of the city and important events. Walking in the tomb, you can see some broken coffins and remains, which witness the former glory and final destruction of this city.
