Chapter 2393 The Seal of the Ancient Witch
Shade actually felt that his "Lion of Light Armor" should also be able to help Miss Knight resist the influence of abnormal forces. Unfortunately, the size of the armor seemed to be tailor-made for him, and Miss Knight was an ordinary woman, with a huge difference in height and weight from Shade. Once she put it on, it would seriously affect her movements, so he didn't say much.
The "Five-Person Ritual" left by the ancient witch was invented specifically for penetrating deep into the worm's body. The ritual was quite simple, and although the various rare materials obtained from the desert were not enough to fully meet the needs, the Philosopher's Stone found in the coffin that sealed the demon last time could play a significant role.
[Philosopher's Stone] is a universal ritual substitute material, and even if some of the Philosopher's Stone is consumed for the ritual, there is still a lot of Philosopher's Stone left.
"I never thought that I would use the Philosopher's Stone so wastefully. No, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to use the Philosopher's Stone one day."
Miss Sandel whispered as she made her final preparations.
After everything was ready and they drank their different potions, Shad raised the torch, Miss Sandel held a bright blue water ball, Granny Sienod let the vines attach to her relic cane, and Miss Meister melted a handful of sand with flames and let the remaining crystals float around her.
As for Miss Knight, originally Shade and Granny Siamnode wanted to use her knight sword to enchant it, but after Miss Meister checked it, she thought that the fragile sword could not withstand the power.
Although it is possible to forge another sword temporarily, it is extremely time-consuming. Later, Shade discovered that the petrified sword that the ancient hero's soul used to pass on [Power of the Earth: Protecting All Things] to him before leaving last time also met the requirements of the ceremony.
So Miss Knight held the petrified sword, put on her helmet again, and walked with everyone towards the depths of the huge, open head's mouth.
The insect's body could indeed block out the abnormal light from the outside world. And because Shade actually just opened the seal instead of destroying the seal of the ancient witch, under the effect of the seal, the power of space movement could not be used inside the insect's body.
The torch in his hand provided light for everyone, allowing them to see clearly that the body of the insect no longer had any flesh and blood structure, and it looked like a stone cave. There were only some sticky black residues on the ground, and no one could recognize what it was, so no one dared to touch it.
The further they walked into the body of the insect, the smoother the walls became, even like a man-made tunnel. The red flames, blue water balls, yellow sand crystals, green vines, and the metallic color of the sword after being enchanted formed a pentagram ritual that helped them resist the heaviness of their bodies that seemed to be turning into sand.
But even with the help of the ritual, the power of the worm corpse still showed its presence. It had no effect on Shade, Granny Sienord, and Miss Meister, but every time Miss Sander and Miss Knight took a step, gravel would rustle down on their bodies.
The invisible mental pressure even made Shad feel dizzy, but since Miss Knight could continue to move forward, he certainly would not say that he wanted to rest.
Fortunately, the ancient witch's seal was very reliable. Even though the hole was opened, the power in the worm's body could not immediately become agitated. When the few people who were moving forward silently saw the light in front of them, everyone except Miss Meister became excited:
"found it!"
The gravity inside the insects was also affected by the abnormal force, and the gravity became stronger the further inward they went. Because they had to take care of Miss Knight, even though they had seen the end, the walking speed of the few people after the excitement remained unchanged.
Xia De's physical strength was no problem to withstand such a huge gravity, but except for him, the speed of the other four people was slowing down. Of course, Miss Meister must be pretending, Granny Sienord was not in her prime because of aging, and as for the mermaid girl, her performance was similar to Granny Sienord, or even better, which might be related to the huge water pressure in the deep sea environment where she lived.
But no matter what, he moved forward step by step and finally successfully reached the glowing position. According to Xia De's estimation, this position was not the tail of the worm, but slightly behind the middle.
When they saw the scene at the light source clearly, everyone immediately noticed the last piece of the compass fragment.
The light source is a huge sphere, but in fact the light comes from three rings that rotate in an interlaced manner with the same center and tilted 60 degrees to each other. Each ring is inlaid with thirteen different items, and the last compass fragment needed to find the "Heart of the Oasis" is inlaid on one of the rings.
In the center of the three hollow wheels, that is, in the center of the golden light, there was a curled-up snake-like monster imprisoned. The thing was obviously alive, and its dark body was almost identical to that of the giant worm, and the head of the snake-sized worm was also in human form.
It looked very weak, and even when it noticed the arrival of the crowd, it only trembled a few times.
Even Miss Knight, who knew the least about mysticism, could see that this was the core of the seal. And it was obvious that the power left by the giant worm's corpse should be imprisoned by the three rotating and interlaced golden rings.
"If we take away the compass fragment, it won't break the seal, right?"
Miss Sandel asked worriedly. Granny Sienorde hesitated for a moment:
"From the current situation, the power of this worm is much weaker than when it was sealed by the ancient witch. It is also possible that the compass fragment was taken away, which will not cause much impact. Of course, this is just speculation."
Then he looked at Xia De, and Xia De asked the light brown-skinned lady:
"Miss Meister, what do you think?"
I thought the lady would say something like "I don't know either", but I didn't expect her to actually go up and carefully observe the seal, and then give a conclusion:
"Judging from the flow of ether in this seal, simply removing the compass fragments will not directly destroy the entire seal. The ancient witch's methods are not that fragile.
But the ancient witch of the earth should have also left a way to deal with the seal being destroyed by humans: if we try to destroy the seal from the inside, perhaps the seal will be reactivated with full force. At that time, if we cannot leave immediately, we will be trapped inside the body of this insect forever. Of course, if there is a way to weaken the remaining power of this corpse, the speed at which the ancient witch's seal is reactivated will be slower. "
Although Miss Meister's tone was one of speculation, Shade had already taken it as fact:
"That is to say, we can take the compass, but after taking it away, we have to leave very quickly."
The other three people did not question this "speculation". Although Shade knew that the god was fully capable of solving the problem directly, He would obviously not take action again.
"I'm the slowest. If necessary, you don't have to worry about my safety."
Miss Knight said immediately, and Miss Sandel beside her opened her mouth, but didn't say anything and didn't need to worry about her safety.
Granny Sienod shook her head:
"Without the protection of the five-person ceremony, none of us can get out. Now is not the time to talk about sacrifice."
She did not mention that the "five-person" ceremony could be maintained by four people, and judging from the situation when they came in just now, at least close to the "exit", Shad, Miss Meister and Granny Siamnode could pass safely on their own.
"Don't rush to prepare to escape. Let me try to see if we can weaken the power of this thing."
Xia De frowned and said, he came to the ball of light and tried to put his hand in.
After his hands touched the light generated by the three golden rings, he thought that there would be a force that would immediately bounce him away, but in fact he just paused for a moment, and his right hand smoothly entered it.
[Outsider, the number of "Witch Remnants" you possess has reached the required number. The ancient Earth Witch's sealing ceremony has made you a witch with a seat in the parliament.]
"She" in his ear whispered the information obtained from that power, but Shad didn't care and continued to reach his hand inward.
The microscopic worm, which was originally just trembling, suddenly jumped up and bit Shad's finger when Shad's hand was about to reach the core of the seal.
However, under the suppression of the seal, its movements were too slow. Xia De nimbly dodged the insect and even touched it before retracting his hand.
Granny Siamnode, who also came to the seal, immediately saw that the entire surface of Xiade's right index finger was covered with a layer of gravel. However, before more transformations occurred, the "pollution" faded away on its own, allowing Xiade's finger to return to normal:
"My resistance to petrification is high."
He explained, and then informed his companions of the results of their investigation:
"It's very troublesome. The worms in here are not real entities at all. They are the concrete manifestation of the concept of 'worm corpse power' under the sealing technique of the ancient witch. This thing is extremely polluting. We have no chance of destroying it."
The others knew it was impossible. Except for Miss Meister, the other four people combined were probably no match for the ancient earth witch. If the ancient witch couldn't completely solve the problem, they certainly couldn't do it either.
"We can't hesitate here for too long. So, I will try to weaken it. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we will take the compass fragment and escape immediately. Whether it succeeds in the end depends on fate. Of course, if you have other methods, you can also propose them now."
