Chapter 129: Dislocated Ruins
Chapter 129: The misaligned ruins
As the humidity increases, I thought I would encounter a water world in the center of the forest, but strangely, the ground became drier and the temperature continued to rise. Although the ground became stronger and stronger, the fog in the air became more and more serious, and from time to time, you can see hot air coming out of the gaps on the ground. Now I understand how the environment here appears. There must be a magma river under the ground in this place, so the underground temperature is relatively high. The wetland outside the forest itself has accumulated
There is a lot of water, but this water does not flow to the periphery of the forest, but it flows back to the inside of the forest. However, due to geothermal heat and surface cracks, the water does not form rivers or lakes, but is all evaporated into the air. This rapid evaporation process forms a delicate balance in the forest. The evaporated water takes away a lot of heat, so that the surface temperature can still allow some heat-resistant plants to grow, and the dense plants form a huge canopy to block the rising water vapor, so that the entire forest is filled with fog.
Due to the dry surface and the dense forests, the mount is no longer suitable, so I have to get off the horse and walk. When riding on the back of the night shadow, I always have to bow my head from time to time to avoid the annoying branches. It is not as convenient as walking.
"President Zi Ri, you have to be careful from here. There is a terrifying monster hidden in this fog. We lost nearly half of our personnel here last time." The female archer kindly reminded.
Hearing the archer's prompt, the captain seemed to be worried and added: "This kind of monster is very fast and has a high attack power, so you'd better be careful."
Before the captain finished speaking, the fog in front suddenly separated. A black shadow shot out from the fog like lightning, but a red light suddenly flashed, followed me to give in to the side. The black shadow passed directly through the position I had just stood and fell to the ground. It was not until this time that the people around discovered that the black shadow was the monster they had encountered before, but now the monster's body was neatly divided into two halves from the middle.
"That's what you're talking about?"
The few people looked at each other, then looked at the monster corpses on the ground, and the captain said helplessly: "When I didn't say it."
On the road that followed, we encountered many such monsters, but each time there was only one result. All the monsters that appeared were killed by me. This kind of monster was actually just a level 600 monster. The reason why the team lost half of its personnel here was mainly because this creature was a regionally adaptive creature. Just like the lava toads I encountered not long ago, players could not fight with them in the lava, and this creature was similar. Their explosive power in the fog
With super attack power, they brought the effect of a killing attack, and the fog blocked their sight, causing players to be unable to counterattack effectively. This is their real specialty. However, today is not a good day for these monsters. Faced with me, a super player of more than a thousand levels, their killing attack was useless at all, because I have the ability to discover them in the fog and have a very long reaction speed. Their surprise attack was completely unavailable to me, and the disadvantage of low defense was exposed at this time.
After passing through the area where these monsters are located, a mountain wall appeared in front of us. The mountain covered by green mosses and vines was like a huge wall that completely blocked the road ahead, and the road ended here. Under the guidance of the adventure team, I found a stone gate on the mountain, but the entrance was not on the ground, but on the hillside more than ten meters high. "Why is this gate so high?"
"We don't know, it was like this when we came last time." The captain said as he reached out to hold the rattan hanging from the mountain wall next to him and started climbing up, while the others also went to find the empty rattan to start climbing up the mountain.
The female archer came over and found a vine and handed it over. I looked at it but didn't answer. In her puzzled gaze, I raised one hand and aimed it at the hole above. Then I moved my fingers. There was a muffled sound. The dragon tendon piping suddenly shot out, and a crisp sound penetrated directly into the rock at the top of the cave. I pulled it twice, and after confirming that the connection was tight, the other hand grabbed the female archer's wrist with one hand, followed by the pivotal line immediately, pulling us both up. In the surprised and envious eyes of the team members next to us, we landed at the hole in a very beautiful position. The female archer didn't react until this time. When she looked back and found that everyone was still climbing the vine.
The cave above was obviously built by hand, but the neat stone wall was completely covered with plants with full vitality. There were many unknown plants hanging from the top of the passage, which was like a spider cave, which was quite terrifying. I was about to call the female archer to go in first, but suddenly I heard a scream from behind. When I turned around and looked, I found that a team member was already lying on the ground, but there was nothing nearby.
"What's going on?"
"A monster rushed out of the fog and attacked us, but it had already run away."
The female archer stretched out her head and shouted, "How is Balas?"
"It's already hung up. That thing moves very quickly!"
The captain immediately shouted: "Don't stop, hurry up. It's already good to lose one person here, hurry up, everyone."
The captain's words were pretty good in their team, and everyone's movements immediately became quick. Since there was nothing to ask for my help, I simply turned around and continued to go deep into the cave. The roots of the plants that were in trouble along the way were cut off by a sword. It was easier to walk without these obstacles. After entering the inside of the cave, the people below also climbed up one after another, but when they ran to us, we had already entered a huge stone chamber. This was a room about the size of a basketball court, and the walls around were covered with moss, but you could still see the dense embossed text under the moss, but because the corrosion was too severe, it was basically impossible to identify.
"Where is the stone of precepts?"
"It's still behind. This is the main hall. There is a mechanism there. After activation, the passage will be opened. After passing through the passage, you can reach a room with many passages. The stone of the precepts we sell you was found in one of the passages."
"One of the channels? So have you explored other channels?"
The female archer shook her head. "No. We only explored two passages at that time, and there were two stones of the precepts you wanted in the second passage. We only had time to get one, and then the boss inside rushed out. We didn't run away in the end. Everyone hung outside, but fortunately the stone of the precepts did not explode."
I nodded to show that I understood. Listening to this female archer's words, they almost didn't explore this place, which means that there may be the existence of the Precepts Stone in other channels. But to be honest, I didn't have much hope for this. After all, the Precepts Stone is not iron ore, so it doesn't matter that it will appear in pieces. I was surprised that two pieces appeared in the same place at the same time.
Before the people behind us followed us, we had already activated the mechanism first. As the archer said, the center of the wall was automatically separated by a crack. However, I don’t know if there was a problem with the mechanism or it was like this. The door only had a small crack, which made me have to smash a large piece of the door before walking in. According to the female archer, when they came last time, they took off their armor and squeezed them in and then put them back in the armor before entering the passage. Fortunately, the interior of the passage was much spacious than the entrance, so at least there was no need to take off the armor. After walking a few steps, I arrived at the room full of passage. This place was much cleaner than the outside, and there was no moss or something. However, the reliefs on the wall were still seriously corroded, but at least the general shape could be seen, but this made me even more confused.
"It seems that the style of this relief is not European, right?" I asked casually.
The female archer immediately replied: "We don't know either, but it's certainly not our style, it looks like a Mayan civilization or something from ancient Egypt."
"It's not something from Egypt." I replied with great certainty: "The Egyptian text is not like this. This relief style is only available in South America and is likely to be a product of the Mayan civilization. But it's really strange that this actually appeared in Europe!"
"We don't know about this. After all, we are not studying history!" The captain pointed to a passage on the far left: "This passage collapsed after walking less than thirty meters, so it was not explored later. The passage next to it was the passage where we found the precept stone you wanted."
I nodded and walked towards the second passage. The female archer immediately shouted from behind: "Beware, the boss may still be inside last time!"
Before I could answer the captain, he said first: "I am the first in the combat power list, and for us, I am the boss, and for others, I am the kitten."
I ignored them and walked straight into the passage. This passage was much wider than the one that came in. If the one that came in was a cave for people to walk on, then this was basically a large tunnel for trains to walk on. The tunnel was inclined downward, and the slope became larger as the steps went. With the water on the ground and a thin layer of moss, there was almost no friction. Those guys came prepared. They were all wearing a steel brazing more than one meter long, and then they took a few steps and inserted one on the ground. In this way, they could be used as handrails. Otherwise, just sit on the ground to ensure that you can walk to the end.
"Ah!" I was leaving very well and suddenly heard a scream from behind.
