Chapter 77 The Breath of Death
The strange behavior of the dragon Ashu Pers caught everyone's attention.
Asu even stuck out his tongue and kept licking the stone door. What attracted the dragon?
Everyone surrounded the stone gate, and Qiong even licked the stone gate like Ashu, but found no abnormalities.
Qilu accidentally put his hand on the stone door, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face, "I touched the breath of death."
"Is it the magical aura of darkness? Why can't I feel it at all?"
When Ah Xiu was born, he was born with light magic and awakened by dark magic. If there was a dark magic aura on the stone gate, everything would be explained.
"Dark magic includes death, but death is not the whole of dark magic." Qiro gave a mysterious answer.
Arthur also put his hand on the stone gate and felt it carefully, "It is the coldest part of the dark magic, full of decay and decay. What's strange is that these auras are losing."
Qiluo also frowned, "This is the strangest place. It is said that the breath of death will surge out of the stone gate and spread around it, but we can't feel it at all in the belly of the mountain."
"Isn't it because of the sealing magic array?" Aretha asked from the side.
"No." Shalin and Chiro almost denied in unison.
Chiro further explained: "If the seal is complete, the breath of death is impossible to overflow. On the contrary, if the seal is damaged or weakened, the breath of death will spread to the peripheral space after it overflows, rather than immediately after it appears."
"Is this really just a space and sealed composite magic circle?" Arthur looked at Shalin again.
Shalin shook her head slowly, "I'm not sure, the ancient magic array is engraved on the stone gate. The current magic array has been simplified or improved. Although the main structure of the space and seal has not changed, the specific role played by each magic array pattern cannot be verified."
Arthur murmured: "The question now is where did these auras of death go?"
The cave fell into silence again. Before a mystery was solved, a new fog appeared again.
"I seem to have seen those strange stripes?" Buku suddenly rubbed his big head and said.
"Where?" Everyone looked at the little giant.
Buku was a little embarrassed, "In the abandoned ancestral temple, the adults didn't let us play. We secretly went there, with many stripes engraved there."
"The hall of the ancestral temple is indeed carved with many graphics, but it has been around for many years. No one except the king knows the meaning of those graphics."
"Let's go to the giant's ancestral land!" Arthur let out an excited growl, and a hidden clue finally appeared.
This was Arthur's second time to visit the ruins of the Giant's ancestral land. The last time they met Buku here.
The Giant's Ancestral Temple is located in the outermost part of the city ruins. Like other collapsed and broken buildings around it, the huge temple has collapsed halfway.
He lifted up the large piece of gravel that blocked the door and walked into the Giant's Ancestral Temple. Along the wall, many giant statues were erected, but many of them were destroyed, falling to the ground or missing arms and broken legs. Arthur even found Sisi's statue in it.
"The ancestral temple worships giant kings of all dynasties and giant heroes who are enough to be recorded in history." Fei Dun explained next to it.
It is not surprising that the Giant King and Giant Hero are worshipped. What is really strange is that the position in the middle is empty, and the Fei Shield cannot explain this.
The ground of the ancestral temple hall is indeed carved with many strange figures and lines, but most of them have been covered by collapsed gravel and statues.
Everyone worked together to clean up all the gravel in the hall, and finally revealed their true colors.
No one could understand the meaning of these graphics. It was not until Shalin flew into the air that the outline of a magic circle was vaguely seen from these graphics. Someone actually hid the magic circle in this way!
The child’s perspective is different from that of adults. If Buku hadn’t made a reminder, no one would have thought that there was a magic circle hidden here!
This is also an ancient magic array that no one knows. It is even more unaware of the function of the magic array when it is not activated.
It was getting late at this time, and everyone planned to spend the night here tonight. Shalin needed to copy the magic circle, hoping that there would be relevant records in the alliance. Others wanted to search the entire giant's ancestral land again, and perhaps they could find new clues.
It was this decision that unraveled a secret that had been hidden for nearly a thousand years.
At midnight, a slight magic wave came from under him, and Chiro, Arthur and Alia sat up almost at the same time. The breath of death finally appeared. If it did not reach the level of a high-level magician of darkness or light, it would be easy to ignore this faint breath of death.
After waiting for a long time, no magic fluctuations appeared again, but this time it was enough to solve the secret of the mystery of the curse. The aura of death lost on the stone gate in the Ice Peak of Yadanya was passed to the Giant's Ancestral Temple through the hidden magic circle and spread from here.
Nearly a thousand, the giant clan did not notice it. A faint breath of death was released from their ancestral temple every night.
The breath of death will not cause direct damage, and the powerful life energy in the adult giant's body is enough to offset these indefinite breath of death. But this decayed and decayed breath really affects the fetus and babies of the giant clan. The accumulated breath of death caused the baby to die easily, and even die in the womb. This is the real reason for the continuous decline of the population of the giant clan!
Arthur asked everyone to get together and said his own speculation. Fei Dun was stunned. Unexpectedly, the root of the problem was actually in the ancestral temple.
But new questions also followed, and it is understandable that the magic arrays of the two places were secretly connected. After all, the giants were responsible for guarding the cemetery of Gods. It is very likely that the magic array in the Adanya Ice Peak would receive a warning message once it was destroyed. But did the death aura transmitted by someone tampered with the magic array? Or did there be problems with the magic array itself? It became a new mystery.
"Put the reason for the leakage of the breath of death aside. Can the giants return to the continent by eliminating these breaths of death?" Arthur said excitedly.
Shalin was not that optimistic, "It wasn't that easy. It would take a long time for the league to completely understand this magic circle and prevent the breath of death from coming."
"I think I can try it?" Qilu suddenly interrupted.
Shalin looked at Qiluo in surprise, "Do you know this magic circle?"
Qiluo smiled, "I don't know you, and I can't stop you, but there are other ways to solve this problem. I can build a dark magic circle outside the ancestral temple to absorb the breath of death that overflows from the ancestral temple every night."
As soon as Qiluo said that everyone understood that the aura of death that was harmful to ordinary people was actually a material of extremely high value for the dark magician, and it had other functions when collected.
Arthur smiled and looked at Fei Deng, "Now all the obstacles to the return of the giants have been cleared?"
