The city of ancient ruins was built in the ancient civilization era. As for why it was outside the ocean of Gold, it was because a great flood occurred on the land of the ancient civilization era, submerging the original land.
It just so happens that this ancient ruins city is located within this range.
What a pity, Xia Yi really can’t understand the characters from the ancient civilization era.
In fact, there is still a lot of information above, but due to limited conditions, I cannot continue to interpret it.
Xia Yi could feel that these stone slabs and murals embodied the wisdom of the ancient civilization. They had gone through countless years, even the destruction of the world, but they could still be preserved until now.
I don’t know what methods the ancient civilization used, but even after the destruction of the old world, the murals on the stone slabs were still being updated.
Perhaps the civilizations of the ancient era left these things as a warning to future generations?
"But there are some doubts..."
The legendary beast is not dead yet.
When the old world was destroyed, the legendary beasts fell into a deep sleep.
These old guys are really good at hiding!
Although they survived, they are still remnants of the old world after all.
The legendary beasts are unable to adapt to the new world and can only wake up and move around periodically, spending most of their time in deep sleep.
Like Leviathan.
The following is some information about Leviathan.
This is where the doubt lies.
The last time Leviathan awakened was during Gold's Age of Exploration, more than a thousand years ago. It was active for a while and left behind legends.
But according to the cycle, Leviathan should be in a dormant state now.
Why did it wake up, become active, and even attack Gold together with the Black Tide?
Xia Yi thought about it.
The fact that the legendary beasts from the Old World can survive in the New World must be related to a good work and rest schedule.
Sleep - wake up - forage - eat - sleep...
That's it, the cycle continues.
After all, they are not creatures of the New World, so naturally they cannot sustain activities for long periods of time.
If the daily routine is disrupted, then there is only one possibility, Leviathan is forcibly awakened!
It should be in its dormant period now, but someone has used some means to forcibly awaken it.
The mastermind behind this is related to the dragon clan.
The essence of the black tide is the dragon curse.
Someone forcibly awakened the sleeping legendary beast, and then used the black tide created by the dragon curse to cooperate with Leviathan to harvest the Gold people.
"If that's the case, then the problem is much more solved!"
Xia Yi thought that there was no need to kill Leviathan. It was just a tool being used and was now in a dormant period. It would be better to let it continue to sleep.
What we should do now is to find out the manipulator behind this and destroy those means.
"After Leviathan returned to the Ancient Ruins City, I remember that it rested in a place that looked very much like an altar. Could it be that the method to awaken it was some kind of sacrifice?"
Suddenly, a few words flashed through Xia Yi's mind.
That was what I heard from those mentally ill people in the seaside city.
Return, sea, dedication, happiness.
And the altar here, and the black tide...
Xia Yi felt that she was very close to the truth.
I can't stay here any longer. I must go to the altar where Leviathan is as soon as possible. If Hill is still alive and in the ancient ruins city, his life may be in danger soon!
Xia Yi raised her head and looked at the water falling like a waterfall. She cast a magic spell.
First, he froze the water with ice, then built an ice ladder, jumped up, and returned to the library floor.
It was already night, darkness was falling, and the bright moon was rising.
Xia Yi left the library and found that all the half-dragon monsters in the ancient ruins city had disappeared and all gathered in one place.
It's an altar.
She rushed over too.
In the altar surrounded by sea water, half-dragon monsters gathered together and worshiped towards the center.
On the altar above Leviathan, at some point, there was a... black coffin.
The blood of the Silver Dragon King in Xia Yi's body actually resonated with the black coffin.
28 Sacrifice in the Deep Sea
At this moment, the silver dragon royal blood in Xia Yi's body actually resonated with the black coffin.
This feeling only lasted for a moment and quickly faded away.
This puzzled her greatly, and she even suspected that it was her own illusion.
Could it be that in the black coffin there is also a dragon with royal blood?
But Xia Yi clearly remembered that the only person with the same royal blood as her was Xia Lulu.
Who is in that black coffin?
Xia Yi had many questions in her mind.
The black coffin was placed in the center of the altar.
The half-dragon monsters gathered around the altar and worshiped towards the center, as if it was a grand sacrificial ceremony.
Some human figures emerged from under the sea.
Xia Yi took a closer look and discovered that it was actually a Siren!
The beautiful and enchanting sirens swam around the altar with neat and graceful movements, like dance movements, performing a sacrificial dance in the water.
Among the countless half-dragon monsters, there was a different guy who walked slowly towards the altar with a scepter in his hand.
Wherever he went, the half-dragon monsters would automatically retreat. He actually opened up a path in the black tide and stepped onto the altar.
Is that the dragon clan?
No.
Xia Yi observed carefully for a while.
It was also a half-dragon monster, but compared to other half-dragon monsters, its level of evolution was closer to that of dragons. Its appearance was very similar to that of dragons, and it seemed that its original race was no longer visible. It even retained a trace of rationality.
It is obviously much more advanced than other half-dragon monsters. It is like a priest presiding over a sacrificial activity and controlling the rhythm of the entire event.
The priest came to the black coffin and knelt down.
The level of etiquette he used was very high. In the Dragon Kingdom, only the Dragon King could enjoy this level of etiquette.
This made Xia Yi even more confused about the identity of the person in the coffin.
After the ceremony, the priest stood up again, picked up his scepter, and raised it facing the black tide.
The scepter emitted a red light in the dark night. Bathed in the strange light, the half-dragon monsters fell into a daze, their selfhood completely deprived.
The madness, craziness and brutality in his eyes disappeared, and they became dull.
At this time, the Siren sang with her magical voice, bringing the dream of the sea to the ancient ruins city, paralyzing everyone's spirit with dreams full of happiness.
"Oops……!"
Xia Yi quickly covered her ears, trying to use her own will to fight against the Siren's song.
But the strange thing was that she didn't feel sleepy at all.
"The siren's song is of no use to me?"
Xia Yi's lower abdomen was emitting a pink glow.
The little princess's face turned red immediately. This was too embarrassing!
Don’t look at it! Don’t look at it! Don’t look at it!
She quickly covered her stomach, her face burning.
Fortunately, there is no one else here, otherwise, I would have been socially doomed.
It was the nightmare mark left by Sera that was taking effect. After a while, it darkened.
She got it.
The nightmare demon can control other people's dreams and force them to fall asleep.
Then conversely, it can also deprive others of their dreams and make them unable to fall asleep.
Therefore, the sirens' song cannot make him enter the dream of the sea, and naturally it is ineffective.
This is Ella's backup plan.
"Ella, although you are a nightmare who likes Shishi, you are also a good person." Xia Yi thanked in her heart.
Then, she returned her gaze to the altar.
The next scene is really exaggerated.
After hearing the Siren's song, those half-dragon monsters were obviously completely controlled and chose to commit suicide!
The half-dragon monster dug out its own heart, held the heart in its hands, and offered it upwards while kneeling.
Dragon patterns appeared around the black coffin.
A magic circle was activated, gathering all the blood essence in the heart into the sky, and it gradually turned from a small blood drop into a blood cell.
After offering their hearts, the monsters of the Black Tide slowly walked to the edge, fell down, and fell into the cold sea below the altar.
