Volume 19 Chapter 219 Magic Array in the Laboratory

Unlike the above floors, the stairwell on this floor has no water intake, so the stairs and railings are still alive. However, out of my usual caution, I still let the rose vine wrap around my waist before daring to walk up the stairs.

Facts proved that my caution was very correct. The stairs made a creaking sound when I first stepped on it. However, just when I waited for a while and found that the stairs had not fallen and then took the second step forward, the stair plate under my feet suddenly broke, and the entire stairs collapsed down with a bang. If it weren't for the vine wrapped around my waist, I would have to fall down. Although this height wouldn't be a problem even if it really fell, who would like to fall?

After letting Rose Vine put me on the ground below the stairwell, I called Xiaolongnu and Shuangxue down. The door panel of the stairwell here is also intact, so you must be careful to open the door.

After breaking the door in the same way, no water flowed out. After I opened the door completely, I realized that it was an empty room.

Like the above floor, the outside of the stairwell is also a hexagonal main hall, but the main hall is empty. No, it cannot be said that it is completely empty. Because there is a huge magic array embedded on the ground in the center of the room, the metal lines and magic nodes on it are easy to identify, but all the gems as nodes have been broken into powder. Obviously, the magic array consumed its energy when it was activated last time.

It is slightly different from the upper floor. In addition to the door we came down from, there are only four other doors on the main hall on this floor. In other words, there is one of the six walls in this room that is pure walls. According to the location, I can tell that behind this wall is the shooting range we saw on the upper floor. The shooting range we saw at that time extended downwards by one floor, so the location of this room on this floor was occupied, and it is not surprising that there was no door.

Because one door is missing, there are only five doors left around the room, and there are only four doors left except the stairwell I came down. However, I am not in a hurry to deal with those doors now, because the magic circle on the ground attracts my attention even more.

"Zi Ri, this is..." Ling suddenly ran down from the gate of the earth above, and the reason was that she used my eyes to see the magic circle on the ground simultaneously. In fact, it was not only Ling who rushed down, but also Xiao Chun. Compared to the half-baked magic skills of my other magic pets, Xiao Chun and Ling are real professional mages. Not to mention combat power, just in terms of magic theory, they are definitely the two of the best three of my magic pets. As for the remaining magic master, it is Crystal. Don't think that Crystal is a dragon and treat her as a brute force

At the end of the day, they are also fairy dragons. Among the dragon clan, the fairy dragons have always existed as scholars. The magic development work of the entire dragon clan is basically maintained by fairy dragons. If it weren't for the small number, they would have definitely become more famous magic dragons in the dragon clan than silver dragons. Of course, although they are also magic experts, Crystal is a dragon clan after all. She is good at researching dragon language magic, and the magic used by humans actually comes from the demon clan, so Xiaochun and Ling have more say in the magic circle in front of them.

I didn't react much when I heard Ling's voice, because when I saw this magic circle, I knew they would come down. I walked to the edge of the magic circle and stretched out my hand and gently wiped it. A breeze gently slid across the ground as my palm moved, sweeping all the dust covered on the magic circle to the side. Without the interference of dust, the magic circle looked clearer and more complete.

Unlike most temporarily drawn magic circles, this magic circle is a permanent magic circle. Its lines are not drawn with magic beast blood or special magic powder, but are connected with metal strips. From the perspective of surface luster, the main body of the magic circle may be a mixed metal. This so-called mixed metal is slightly different from what we usually call alloy. Although both mix multiple substances into a whole, there are essential differences. We all know that the alloy is a stable metal structure formed by mixing multiple metal materials, and the metal inside it.

There has been a chemical fusion of shared electron pairs between atoms. However, mixed metals are different. Mixed metals are mixed products formed by mixing one metal with another or several substances. Although they are mixed into a ball, there is actually no fusion between various substances inside them. Using a metaphor of a figurative point, this mixed metal is like mixing sand into mud and stirring them evenly. Although the final thing has been mixed into a whole piece, the sand and soil inside still exist independently, but they are tightly attached to each other.

Ling squatted carefully next to the magic circle and stroked the surface of the metal line with her hands. Then she thought for a while and said to Xiaochun: "Try inputting a unit of magic power from the magic node next to you."

Xiaochun nodded and walked over to take out the shattered magic gem, and then input a unit of magic power into it. After she released the magic power for more than ten seconds, Ling spoke and said: "This magic array is so strange. The magic power gathering speed is so slow."

Xiaochun also said, "Yes. When I input magic power just now, I felt a sense of hysteresis, and it seemed that there was a lot of resistance on the magic line."

"No, no, we must have missed something." Ling stood up from the ground, then walked around the magic circle for two rounds and suddenly said to me: "Zi Ri, go to the middle of the magic circle to stand."

"Ah? Let me stand up?"

Ling thought for a while and said, "No, let the crystal go up, your magic will not be able to sense it."

"Are you sure there will be no danger?"

Ling nodded and said, "The laser cannon is also dangerous, but if it only uses one No. 5 battery to power it, how powerful do you think it can be?"

"I understand." As I said that, I released the crystal that had already turned into a human form, and then according to Ling's request, all the magic pets that could turn into human form were drawn out. Later, I found that there were not enough people, so I had to pull out the Death Guard to help. Fortunately, my Death Guard was an individual formed by me as a template, and he also had magic combat capabilities, so it would be fine to help with some magic research for the time being.

After getting all the people together, I began to input magic power into the magic nodes around me with Ling's command, other magic pets and the guards of the Death. There are a total of 372 magic nodes in this magic array in the room, of which more than 80 nodes need to input magic power. The remaining nodes only need to put magic gems and turn magic power to start.

After we were all ready, Ling asked everyone to input magic power into the magic array. Of course, each person only inputs a unit of magic power to the nodes they are responsible for. It is different from the state that they had no reaction before. This time, it was a straight pole. As soon as Ling finished speaking, the magic array buzzed and buzzed. Then he saw six magic light columns shot out from the six nodes on the magic array and collided on the top of the crystal head standing in the center of the magic array, and a small explosion occurred. Of course, the power of this explosion was really minimal, and almost no firecrackers were as powerful as children played with.

When the six beams of light exploded above Crystal's head, a silver-shining spot suddenly appeared from the center of the explosion, then fell vertically on the top of Crystal's head and quickly disappeared into her body.

"How do you feel?" Ling asked immediately.

It took me about two or three seconds to stop and then I said in an uncertain tone: "It seems that my magic power has increased a little bit. But it is really just a little bit, and the amplitude is so small that I can hardly feel it."

Hearing the crystal's words, Ling immediately looked at the magic circle again and said, "Is it really an enhanced magic circle?"

Xiaochun said on the side: "The main structure looks right, but why there is no input node? We activated the magic array by actively inputting magic power inward. The guys who are used as batteries should not be so generous, right?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked in confusion as they listened to the conversation between the two.

Xiaochun and Ling were still discussing there, and they didn't have time to pay attention to me. On the other hand, Crystal explained: "Although I'm not good at this, judging from the situation just now, this should be a power-depriving magic array. It can use other creatures as energy sources to absorb their power, and then transmit this power to the creature located at the center of the magic array. Just now, it was equivalent to each of you passing a unit of magic power to me."

"You mean this thing can concentrate the power of several people on one person?"

Crystal nodded and affirmed: "Yes, that's what it means."

When I heard this, I immediately asked excitedly: "So does this thing only add the attack output or the total energy value or two together?"

"It should be two superimposed together, but not exactly. The main thing is to superimpose the output ability. For example, if ten people with one hundred attack power are used as energy, if they are sucked dry, the beneficiaries in the middle can get one thousand units of attack power, but this person's endurance will only increase by two or three times, not as much as the attack power is added. If it is a magic attack, the main thing superimposed is magic attack power, and the total amount of magic power will not increase significantly."

"Is this superposition permanent or disposable?"

Crystal shook his head and said, "I don't know this. I don't know much about this magic array. The dragon clan does not have a similar magic array. This should be a magic array developed based on the fusion technique of the vengeful spirits in the undead spell."

As soon as Crystal finished speaking, Ling happened to end the discussion with Xiaochun and said to me: "This is actually a kind of ability transfer magic array. It can temporarily move one person's power to another person, but the movement is mainly attack power, and the proportion of energy movement is relatively low. According to our observation, this movement should be time-efficient. The research done by the owner here seems to be trying to turn this time-limited transfer into a permanent transfer."

"Then what's going on with the input node you just mentioned?"

"It's like that. Because this magic array will transfer the abilities of one party to the other party, the person transferred is usually involuntarily. So this requires a forced device to extract the power from his body. However, looking at this magic array, it seems that there is less extraction equipment."

I looked at the surrounding rooms and said, "Maybe you will find these rooms after exploring them."

Ling also nodded and said, "It should be like this. Judging from the structure of the magic array, the extraction equipment should be made into a detachable type. I guess there may be many different sizes in the extraction objects used by the original owner here, so he made the extraction equipment detachable, so that the extraction magic array of appropriate size can be replaced at any time as needed."

I nodded and said, "You guys study it first, Xiaolongnu, Frostxue, let's open other doors first, maybe we can find some other clues."

After hearing my words, Xiaolongnu and Shuangxue quickly left the magic circle and followed me to the door opposite the stairwell that they came down, while Ling and the others continued to study the magic circle on the ground.

I chose this door first because I really want to know if it is the last floor. If this is the bottom floor of the laboratory, then there should be an ordinary room inside the door opposite. Of course, if it is still a stairwell, it can only mean that there is another floor below.

The door opening process was very smooth. We have already mastered the process through so many times. After easily breaking the door, we didn’t see the stairwell, which means that this floor is indeed the lowest floor. Of course, it is not ruled out that the stairwell on this floor is built in another location. However, the doors on the upper floors have always been like this. It is generally unlikely that the doors on the upper floor will change positions suddenly.

After opening the door, I immediately went in and checked it. It turned out that this room was similar to the shooting range room I saw before. As soon as I entered, I extended a staircase downward, but the depth was much larger than the room I saw before. The height of this room was at least fifty meters, and the width was much wider than the room I saw before. Although the length was not as long as that of the shooting range room, it was quite impressive. However, this room was large and large, but now there was no useful thing left. The whole room was full of crushed fragments. Except for a few things that could be seen, most of the things were broken and not much different from sand and dust.

After walking around the room, I still didn't know what was originally placed in the room. It seemed that the items placed here should be some classified supplies, and the quantity was very large. It was just because the powder was too powerful, so I couldn't figure out what items were placed in it. But I think it would be that they could break into this shape, but it shouldn't be ore supplies.

After leaving this room, there were three doors left to open. I first chose the door on the wall next to the wall without a door. This time, I still opened the door panel smoothly, and there was a very small room in the door. This room was originally a place where debris and other things were piled up. You could see some wreckage of wooden shelves and some rusty metal tools. In addition, there was a bookshelves taken out from the wall deep in the room. The bookshelf was less than one meter wide and about one meter high. The bottom was more than one meter away from the ground, and there was a pile of broken wood chips under the wall, which looked like they were originally a table or something.

There are a few piles of dust on this stone bookshelves. It seems that it was a book before, but now it has become powder. Although the desk below is not powdered, the degree of fragmentation is actually no different from turning into powder. However, I accidentally found a little metal trace under the wreckage of this pile of crushed desk.

Although there are not many metal products in this laboratory, there are definitely quite a lot of them. However, most of the metal products here are rust so hard that they can't see their true shapes. Only this metal and the magic circle outside still retain the metallic luster.

I reached out and flipped through the broken wood chips, and I pulled out the metal that looked quite new. Before I could find it, I pulled it out and found that the metal I just discovered was the front end of a key, and there was a long piece behind it. Looking at this giant key that was half a foot long and weighed more than twenty kilograms, I was stunned for five or six seconds. Because, this key was actually made of pure gold. No wonder it was still the same as new for so many years.

Seeing me coming out with the key, Ling and the others looked at me in confusion. "Where is the key?"

I shrugged and said, "I don't know. I just found a key. But I guess its purpose should be found in the two doors opposite."

Xiaolongnu and Shuangxue stood directly at a door opposite and said, "Come and open the door quickly. Open all these doors and you will know what the key is for."

I nodded and walked to the door and broke through the old method. This time there was still no water. It seemed that the lower layer of the laboratory was much better than the top. The door was still a very small room. I glanced at the door and saw everything in the room.

There is a row of stone shelves at the door of this room that are similar to the bookshelf I saw on the wall I saw before, but now the rest of the metal is piece by piece. Although it is very rusted, I still roughly guessed the purpose of these metals. It seems that these metals should have been saddles, and the leather buckles and cushions on them have long been powdered, and the only remaining metal parts are just these metal parts.

In addition to these saddle wreckages, there were only dozens of stone slabs left in the room. I walked over and flipped over and immediately confirmed that this was the kind of extraction array Ling and the others wanted. After I asked Ling to come in and checked, it was indeed proved that this was the special extraction array that matched the magic array outside. Because the base of the magic array was stone, and the magic array itself was made of pure gold mixed with other magic materials, it did not melt like ordinary items. On the contrary, these things looked quite new.

A few death guards were left to carry the stone slabs outside, and I walked to the last door, with Xiaolongnu and Shuangxue, and started to break the door.

Because there was no problem with opening so many doors before, this time, after I found that the door was not flooded, I cut the door open as usual, and then stepped up and put down the entire door panel. However, just as the moment the door panel fell, I suddenly saw a black shadow pounce on me.
