Chapter 387 The Lost Floating City Underground

Pearl Sea,

The breeze gently blows over the blue sea, bringing up layers of ripples, sparkling like countless broken diamonds flashing in the sun.

In the vast sea, there lies a lonely island quietly. This island seems to be a pearl of nature, gently embraced by the blue ocean.

In the center of the island, a raised hill stands proudly, with lush vegetation, lush trees and colorful wild flowers intertwined to form a beautiful natural picture. A gust of sea breeze blew, the leaves rustled, accompanied by the crisp chirping of birds, as if it was the whisper of nature, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet island.

It has been unknown how long since anyone came to this island in the sea, but today this tranquility was suddenly broken.

A dark gray shadow suddenly appeared on the beach beside the island. When the shadow dissipated, the figures of Li Si and Joyce appeared on the beach.

Joyce looked at the island without any changes, and sighed in his heart.

Li Si was still feeling the special charm of [Shadow Jump] in his heart.

He had broken through to the gold level and could try to master the powerful assassin skill [Shadow Jump].

Although [Shadow Jump] was not as simple and convenient as space teleportation, it was better in terms of stealth and practical effect.

Joyce looked at Li Si and did not disturb him.

After a while, Li Si raised his head and observed the island in front of him.

Is this where the Azera floating city is?

Except for its extremely remote location, it seems to be just an ordinary island in the sea.

The area of ​​this island is not large, only a few square kilometers, and it seems almost impossible to hide a floating city.

Li Si thought about it and tried to use his mental power to spread out to the hills of the island in front of him. It was relatively easy for the gold-level mental power to cover the island in front of him.

After exploring for a while, Li Si took back his mental power.

Joyce on the side smiled and watched Li Si's actions, but did not stop him.

"How is it, did you find anything?"

"No."

Li Si shook his head. The detection information fed back by his mental power showed that the small island in front of him and the hill in the middle were all soil and rocks. There was nothing special except that the earth and water elements were relatively active.

"Of course, if it was so easy to be discovered, this floating city would not have been silent for so long."

Joyce smiled slightly and walked towards the hill on the island.

Seeing this, Li Si hurriedly followed, leaving a space coordinate on the beach of the island and followed Joyce.

The two walked towards the hill in front of them on foot, passed through the lush green jungle, and came to a small cave.

Li Si took a look at the small cave. Rather than a cave, it was more like a long and narrow crack formed by the fracture of the rock layer.

Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking down, the deep and dark cave continued to spread underground.

Is the floating city underground?

Li Si looked at it with some curiosity, and followed Joyce into the cave.

Joyce did not introduce himself to Li Si, but just walked silently down.

The two walked quietly down, and the footsteps echoed in the quiet cave. Although there was no light source in the cave, it was no problem for Joyce and Li Si who had dark vision.

Li Si silently calculated in his mind. When he descended about a hundred meters, the slope of the cave finally eased.

His spirits were lifted. Is he finally reaching his destination?

After passing through an extremely narrow gap sideways and continuing to walk forward for dozens of steps, the figure of Joyce in front of Li Si suddenly disappeared into the air.

Li Si was silent for a moment, but did not stop and walked straight forward.

Just as he passed the position where Joyce disappeared just now, Li Si vaguely felt like passing through a transparent film.

In the next moment, Li Si's eyes suddenly became clear.

At the same time, Li Si's system panel also sent a new prompt.

——

Ding~

[You have entered the special secret realm [Lost Underground Floating City] (Legendary Level)! ]

[It is detected that you have entered a special secret realm [Lost Underground Floating City], and a special mission is triggered! ]

[The legendary series of missions [Inheritor of Azera] has been accepted! ]

[Mission requirements: Although it has been silent for tens of millions of years, the floating city of Azera is still operating normally, silently waiting for a new inheritor to wake up this sleeping floating city as time passes.

So, can you become the inheritor and control this most magnificent creation of human wisdom? ]

[Legendary series of missions (first ring): peripheral exploration]

[Mission introduction: After countless years, the floating city of Azera is still operating with the abundant magic power of the core of Misera, but the peripheral buildings have been eroded by time and are dilapidated, and the defensive power has also been greatly reduced. The difficulty of exploring the periphery of the floating city has been greatly reduced]

[Task requirements: Explore the outer area of ​​Azera Floating City, and the exploration completion rate reaches more than 90%]

[Task rewards: 1000w experience points, Azera Floating City map, start the next stage of the task]

[Current exploration rate: 0%]——

Although the system prompt sounded, Li Si was no longer in the mood to care about this.

Just after walking out of the deep cave, the eyes suddenly opened up, as if stepping into another world.

In front of Li Si, an extremely huge hole lay across the ground. It was like a huge painting carefully carved by the hands of nature, showing the vastness and mystery.

The hole was like an inverted stone bowl, and the cross-section of the rock cave wall was smooth, as if the underground rock layer was suddenly completely swallowed by a special force.

In the hole, a blue floating city stood there quietly, and the lower half was completely immersed in the deep sea water at the bottom of the hole, like a prosperous water city. The floating city was full of light, and the stars emitted soft and mysterious light, as if the stars fell and turned into the lights of this city. These lights intertwined into a colorful picture in the dark hole, reflecting the floating city like a dream.

Is this the floating city of Azera?

The area of ​​this hole is much larger than the island above. Li Si only roughly estimated that the area of ​​the floating city in front of him is about the same as that of Port Danlo.

Joyce and Li Si standing in the crack of the rock wall were like ants in front of this behemoth, inconspicuous.

Li Si looked at the floating city in front of him quietly, and his mind was shaken.

Feeling the tranquility and mystery brought by the silent floating city in front of him, an inexplicable awe and yearning surged in his heart.

Huh~

After simply calming down his mind, Li Si quietly looked at the full picture of the floating city of Azera in front of him.

The entire floating city is mainly composed of two parts. The middle part is a magic city built on an inverted mountain. This area is the main body of the floating city and occupies most of the area. You can vaguely see the scattered buildings distributed in a circle, guarding the core tower in the middle.

At the same time, there are eight floating islands connected to the central floating city through huge bridges. The floating islands are symmetrically distributed, but the buildings and facilities on them are not the same.

In the central core area of ​​the floating city, a blue tower stands tall, which is the most eye-catching place in the entire floating city. The tower is covered with a layer of blue crystal stone, faintly flashing with a faint magical aura, reflecting the gorgeous brilliance.

From bottom to top is a solid and broad tower base, a cylindrical multi-tower body, and a tower top composed of a pointed cone and a semicircle. The structural design of the entire tower is ingenious and unique. From the base to the top, the tower gradually narrows, forming an elegant streamlined design. It seems to be engraved with complex magic runes, and a faint blue light flows between the runes, as if it is jumping and flickering with life.

The spire of the tower is the most eye-catching. It is sharp and upright, as if it is going straight into the sky. A huge azure gem is inlaid on the spire, shining with dazzling light, as if a real star is inlaid on the spire, illuminating the entire void.

There are many regular small buildings around the tower. The design of these buildings should have a special planning and layout. Although small, they are exquisitely designed and have a unified style, forming a perfect echo with the core tower.

There are eight floating islands symmetrically distributed around the floating city, with different characteristic buildings distributed, which should have different uses.

Li Si can only recognize that the two symmetrical islands on the left and right sides should be the airport of this floating city. This design similar to the port terminal should allow flying ships to dock and board the floating city in this way.

From the outside, we can only get this information. The whole floating city looks more like an extremely luxurious and exquisite dream city, which embodies the essence of human wisdom.

But it is enough to make Li Si's heart surge, and he is more anxious to master this floating city.

In addition to the bright blue gem on the tower of the floating city, there are many magical lights flashing in the floating city. It seems that this floating city is still operating normally.

Thinking of this, Li Si was suddenly stunned and turned his head to look behind.

Behind him was the place where he and Joyce came from, still the dark cave.

Li Si tried to step back a few steps. Sure enough, after having that inexplicable feeling again, the floating city in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only deep darkness.

Stepping forward again, Li Si almost guessed what was going on.

It should be the camouflage hiding ability of the floating city. The floating city in front of him should have been maintaining a hidden state, so his previous exploration did not get any results.

Thinking about it, it is true. After all, this is the power of the floating city, and it is impossible for a golden wizard like me to see through it.

In this case, my great-grandfather was really lucky to find this place.

If not, this floating city would not have stayed here for thousands of years, quietly telling of its past glory.

By the way, is this special ability the legendary [Magic Lock]?

[Maze Lock] is a permanent magic barrier or field created by legendary spells. Legend has it that it is a high-level magic skill created by elves to protect certain specific beings, but later this ability was not only mastered by elves.

The abilities in the [Maze Lock] barrier are different. According to the different designs and structures of the creators when building the maze lock barrier, permanent spells, updateable spells, and certain spells can be disabled in the maze, but the main ability of the maze is the ability to hide and conceal.

Just like the floating city in front of us.

Although Li Si learned about the maze from [Flame of Judgment], it is a pity that the teacher did not have more detailed content and construction methods.

I didn't expect to meet it here!

"Little Li Si, how is it?"

Joyce looked at Li Si with a smile, and then said:

"When Brandon and I first came here, we were also shocked. I never thought that such a magnificent floating city would be under this small island."

"Yes, when I saw it, I even felt a little insignificant."

Li Si nodded, not hiding his feelings.

Perhaps this is the spiritual shock brought by the wonder?

"Okay, let's go!"

Joyce didn't say much, grabbed Li Si's shoulder and dived into the shadows.

The next moment, Joyce and Li Si appeared on a floating island on the left side of the floating city, which was the airport that Li Si had noticed before.

After stepping onto the floating city, Joyce's expression became much more serious, and he said to Li Si:

"From now on, listen carefully to everything I say, and remember it."

"This is the information that all of us have obtained since your great-grandfather explored this floating city."

"Even if you are now a gold-level arcanist, don't be careless. You should know that your great-grandfather died because of serious injuries in the floating city."

"I understand, Uncle Joyce."

Li Si nodded, and he was still full of awe for this floating city.

"Well, you follow me this time. You will have to come alone later."

Joyce said in a deep voice, and then introduced to Li Si:

"We are now in the airport of the floating city. This is the safest place in the floating city. Be careful when going to other places."

"In this floating city, various magic traps are mostly inside the buildings, and there are almost none on the roads outside."

"Rather than saying it is the defense method of this floating city, it is more likely that the mages who lived in the buildings and rooms before arranged it privately."

"Then is it safe to walk outside?"

"That's not the case. You will see it later."

Joyce said with a smile.

The two continued to walk forward. Li Si carefully looked at the style of the surrounding buildings. There were buildings of similar styles on both sides of the straight and wide road. What was curious was that there were similar magic runes and circuits on the walls of each house. I don't know what they are for.

However, unlike the high tower in the distance, the enchanted rune circuits on the buildings here are quite dim, making it almost impossible for Li Si to distinguish them.

At the same time, as Li Si and Joyce moved forward, Li Si noticed that not all the buildings on this sky island were intact. Many buildings were already in ruins, and some were even completely destroyed, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

It seemed that just as the system task had indicated, the outer periphery of this floating city was severely damaged. Looking at the traces, it seemed that someone was directly attacked from the outside?

Li Si buried his doubts in his heart and listened to Joyce's story about his exploration experience here with his father Brandon.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped onto Li Si's shoulder.
