Chapter 387 The Lost Floating City Underground
pearl sea,
The breeze blows gently on the blue sea, causing ripples and sparkling waves, like countless diamonds shining in the sun.
In the vast sea, a lonely island lies quietly. This island seems to be a leftover pearl of nature, gently surrounded 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 together, forming a beautiful natural picture. A gust of sea breeze blew by, rustling the leaves, and accompanied by the crisp chirping of birds, which seemed to be the whisper of nature, adding a bit of vitality to this silent island.
No one has come to this small island in the sea for who knows how long, but today the tranquility was suddenly broken.
A dark gray shadow suddenly appeared on the beach beside the island. When the shadow dissipated, the figures of Lis and Joyce appeared on the beach.
Joyce looked at the island, which had not changed at all, and sighed in his heart.
Li Si was still feeling the special charm of [Shadow Jumping] in his heart.
He has broken through to the gold level and can already try to master the powerful assassin skill [Shadow Jump].
Although [Shadow Jump] is not as simple and convenient as space teleportation, it is better at being stealthy, and its practical effect is even better.
Joyce looked at Lis without disturbing him.
After a while, Li Si raised his head and observed the island in front of him.
Is this where Azera's floating city is?
Except for its extremely remote location, it seems to be just an extremely ordinary island in the sea.
The island is not very large, only a few square kilometers in area. It seems that it is almost impossible to hide a floating city.
Li Si thought for a moment and tried to use his mental power to spread to the hills of the island in front of him. It was relatively easy for gold-level mental power to cover the island in front of him.
After exploring for a moment, Li Si took back his mental power.
Joyce looked at Li Si's actions with a smile and did not stop him.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
"No."
Li Si shook his head. The detection information fed back by his mental power showed that the island in front of him and the hills in the middle were all made of soil and rocks. There was nothing special except that the earth and water elements were more active.
"Of course, if it was discovered so easily, it would be impossible for this floating city to remain silent for so long."
Joyce smiled slightly and walked towards the island hills.
Upon seeing this, Li Si quickly followed. After leaving a spatial coordinate on the beach of the island, he followed Joyce.
The two of them walked towards the hills in front of them, passed through the lush green jungle, and came to a small cave.
Li Si took a look at the small cave. It was more like a slender crack formed by the breakdown of the rock layer than a cave.
Standing at the entrance and looking down, the deep and dark cave continues to spread underground.
Is the floating city underground?
Li Si looked at it curiously and followed Joyce towards the cave.
Joyce made no appearance of introducing him to Li Si, but silently moved forward downwards.
The two walked quietly down, their footsteps echoing in the quiet cave. Although there was no light source in the cave, it was no problem for Joyce and Lees, who had dark vision.
Li Si silently calculated in his mind that when he had descended more than a hundred meters, the slope of the cave finally eased.
His spirits were lifted and he was finally reaching his destination?
After passing through an extremely narrow gap sideways and walking forward for dozens of steps, Joyce's figure in front of Lis suddenly disappeared into the air.
Li Si was silent for a moment and walked straight forward without stopping.
Just when he passed the place where Joyce disappeared just now, Li Si had a vague feeling of passing through a transparent film.
In the next moment, Li Si suddenly became enlightened.
At the same time, a new prompt came from Li Si's system panel.
——

Although the system beeped, Li Si was no longer in the mood to care about this.
As soon as I walked out of the deep cave, my eyes suddenly opened up, as if I had stepped into another world.
In front of Li Si, an extremely huge hole lay across the ground. It was like a giant picture carefully carved by the hand of nature, full of vastness and mystery.
The cavity is like an upside-down stone bowl. The rock wall has a smooth cross-section, as if the underground rock formation was suddenly completely swallowed up by a special force.
In the hollow, a blue floating city stood there quietly, its lower part completely submerged in the deep sea water at the bottom of the hollow, like a bustling city on the water. The floating city is filled with light, and the stars are emitting a soft and mysterious light, as if the stars have fallen and turned into the lights of the city. These lights interweave into a gorgeous and colorful picture in the dark hollow, reflecting the floating city like a dream.
Is this Azera Floating City?
The area of this hollow is much larger than the island above. Li Si only made a rough estimate. The area of the floating city in front of him is about the same as that of Dan Erluo Port.
Standing in the cracks of the rock wall, Joyce and Lees were as inconspicuous as ants in front of this behemoth.
Li Si looked at the floating city in front of him quietly, and his mind was shaken by it.
Feeling the tranquility and mystery brought by this silent floating city in front of me, I felt an inexplicable awe and yearning in my heart.
Phew~
After briefly calming down, Li Si quietly looked at the entire Azela floating city 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 peak. This area is the main body of the floating city, occupying most of the area. You can vaguely see scattered buildings distributed in a circle. Guarding the core tower in the middle.
At the same time, there are eight more floating islands connected to the central floating city through huge bridges. The floating islands are symmetrically distributed, but the building facilities on them are different.
In the central core area of the floating city, a blue tower stands majestically, which is the most eye-catching place in the entire floating city. This tall tower is covered with a layer of azure crystal stone, faintly flashing with a faint magical aura, reflecting a gorgeous brilliance.
From bottom to top, there is a solid and broad tower base, a cylindrical multiple tower body, a pointed cone and a semicircular tower top. The structural design of the entire tower is ingenious and unique. From the base of the tower upwards, the tower body gradually narrows, forming an elegant streamlined design. It seems to be carved with complex magic runes, and there is a faint blue light flowing between the runes, as if There is life in general jumping and flickering.
The spire of the tower is the most eye-catching. It is sharp and straight, as if it is going to reach the sky. A huge azure gem is inlaid on the top of the tower, shining with dazzling light, as if a real star is inlaid on the top of the tower, illuminating the entire hollow.
Around the tower, there are many regular small buildings. The design of these buildings should have a special planning and layout. Although they are small, they are exquisitely designed and unified in style, forming a perfect echo with the tall tower at the core.
There are eight floating islands symmetrically distributed around the floating city, with different characteristic buildings, all of which should have different uses.
Li Si could only recognize that the two symmetrical sky islands on the left and right sides should be the airport of this floating city. This port-like terminal design should be for flying ships to dock and board the floating city in this way.
This information can only be obtained from the outside. The entire floating city looks more like an extremely luxurious and exquisite dream city, embodying the essence of human wisdom.
But it was enough to make Li Si's heart surge, and he felt a little 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 shining in the floating city. It seems that the floating city is still functioning normally.
Li Si was suddenly startled when he thought of this, and turned his head to look behind.
Behind was the same dark cave where he and Joyce had walked.
Li Si tried to take a few steps back. 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 and hiding ability of the floating city. The floating city in front of me should have been maintaining a hidden state, so my previous investigation did not yield any results.
Thinking about it, it is true that this is the power of the floating city after all, and it is impossible for a golden mage like me to see through it.
In this way, my great-grandfather was really lucky to be able to discover 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 [Mysterious Lock]?
[Mystery Lock] is a permanent magic barrier or realm created by legendary level spells. Legend has it that it is a high-level magic skill created by elves to protect certain specific existences. However, later on, this ability was not only mastered by elves. .
[Mystery Lock] The abilities in the enchantment are different. They are formed according to the different designs and structures of the creator when establishing the myth lock enchantment. Resident spells, updateable spells and certain spells can be set in the myth lock. However, The most important ability of Mysuo is the ability to be stealthy and invisible.
Just like what the floating city in front of you shows.
Although Li Si learned the knowledge related to myth locks from [Flame of Judgment], it was a pity that the teacher did not have more detailed content and construction methods.
I didn’t expect to meet you here!
"Little Lis, how are you?"
Joyce looked at Li Si with a smile and then said:
"When Brandon and I came here for the first time, we were also shocked. I really didn't expect that such a magnificent floating city would be under this small island."
"Yes, I even felt a little bit insignificant when I saw it."
Li Si nodded, not hiding his feelings.
Maybe this is the spiritual impact brought by the spectacle?
"Okay, let's go!"
Joyce didn't say anything, grabbed Li Si's shoulders and dived into the shadows.
The next moment, the figures of Joyce and Lis appeared on a floating island on the left side of the floating city, which was the airport that Lis had noticed before.
After setting foot in 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 your great-grandfather started and all of us got from exploring this floating city."
"Even if you are now a gold-level arcanist, don't be careless. You must know that your great-grandfather died of serious injuries in the floating city."
"I understand, Uncle Joyce."
Li Si nodded, he was still full of awe for this floating city.
"Well, if you follow me this time, if you think about it later, you will have to come alone."
Joyce said in a deep voice, and then introduced Li Si:
"Our current location is in the airport of the Floating City. This is the safest place in the Floating City. We must be careful wherever we go."
"In this floating city, various magic traps are mostly inside the building, but there are almost none on the roads outside."
"Rather than the defense measures of this floating city, it is more likely to be the private arrangements of the mages who lived in the buildings and rooms before."
"Is it safe to walk outside?"
"That's not true. You'll see it later."
Joyce said with a smile.
The two continued to walk forward. Li Si carefully looked at the styles of the surrounding buildings. There were buildings of similar styles on both sides of the straight and wide road. What was curious was that the walls of each house had similar magic runes and Loops, I don’t know what they do.
But this place is different from the tall tower in the distance. The enchanted rune circuits on the building 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 the empty island were intact. Many buildings were dilapidated, or even completely destroyed, leaving only broken walls. .
It seems that as mentioned in the system mission just now, the outer periphery of this floating city was severely damaged. Looking at the traces, it seems that someone else was directly attacked from the outside?
Li Si buried the doubts in his heart while listening to Joyce talk about the exploration experience he and his father Brandon had here.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared on Li Si's shoulder.
