Meng Chao said sincerely: "Master Lei, you have helped me a lot in forming the Broken Star Society and formulating a training plan."

"But it's not enough, far from enough. Compared to your potential, I should help you more."

Lei Zongchao said, "I have been hesitating whether I should invite you here - for so many years, I have been too lonely here alone, so as long as young people show a little bit of brilliance, I will be happy to invite you."

They come here to give them the help they can and guide them to make great strides in the spiritual martial arts.

"Those whose potential and performance are far inferior to you have received my guidance and support. Sometimes, they don't even need real guidance. Just giving them a little affirmation and encouragement is enough to push them on the path of exploring the limits of life.

Go up and go forward unswervingly.

"But you are different.

"I can roughly assess where the limits of those children are, tailor the most detailed training plan for them, and help them reach their peak safely, stably, and quickly.

"But I can't see where your limits are, and I don't know how to guide you so that you can unleash your strongest potential. I'm even worried that if I interfere, I'll be self-defeating and waste your talent.

"This is something that has never happened before in my long training career.

"So, I have never had direct contact with you, but have provided you with the necessary help through the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau.

"Originally, I was looking forward to seeing how powerful you could grow freely without my interference.

"But I finally changed my mind and extended an invitation to you, even at the risk of greatly increasing the probability of death, to forcibly infuse the secrets of the "Nine Dragons Seal" into your body, just because I don't have much time left.

When I slowly wake up from the genetic fluid every morning, I feel like a resurrected corpse. I know very well that no matter how carefully you take care of yourself and treat me, you will never be able to see the day when you reach the top and exceed your limits.

"Although we have defeated the monster civilization, we have not yet completely annihilated this old opponent that has been entangled for decades. And outside the monster mountains, there are very likely enemies that are a hundred times more difficult to deal with than the monsters.

"As long as I live for a day, I will not let any enemy invade an inch of Longcheng's land or touch half of the hair of the people of Longcheng; but my life will eventually fade away, so I can only come up with this strategy, using this simple and crude method,

Try your best to pass on and spread my martial arts secrets.

"So I said, you don't need to thank me.

"Because, I am not sure whether I am helping you or harming you; the "Nine Dragon Divine Seal" and more martial arts secrets poured into your body will help you break through yourself faster, or will it restrain and distort your mind?

In the future; even, will I transfer the curse from ancient times into your body, making you the bearer of a tragic fate?

"If that's the case, forgive me, Meng Chao. The end is approaching and I have no choice."

Lei Zongchao's expression was both determined and lonely.

Meng Chao laughed.

Revealing snow-white and sharp teeth.

"Thank you, Master Lei. I am happy to bear any fate or curse, and then crush them completely!"

He shook his fist vigorously and said decisively, "After all, when fate really comes, no matter how you try to escape, it's useless. We can't choose our fate, but we can choose whether to grovel and sit back and wait for death in the face of fate's roar, or to fight to the end."

!”

Lei Zongchao stared deeply at Meng Chao for a long time, and finally laughed with relief.

"It seems that Jin Wanhao didn't choose the wrong person, and I didn't choose the wrong person either." He murmured.

"Lei Master——"

Meng Chao looked at the cross-eye tattoo that was gradually disappearing on Lei Zongchao's shoulder, and he lost no time in asking, "What is the so-called 'ancient ruins' like? Is it possible to gain power comparable to the gods if you go deep into it? Why?

I have met many masters in the circle of extraordinary beings. They would rather go to the depths of the wilderness to fight monsters than explore deep into the ancient ruins. Can I enter the ancient ruins to practice like you?"

He asked seven or eight questions in one go.

All of them have been lingering in my mind for a long time.

There are four major research institutes in Longcheng.

Zombie Research Institute, Monster Research Institute, Alien Research Institute, and Ruin Research Institute.

The top three research institutes are relatively transparent and open. Their researchers often go to primary and secondary schools to give lectures. The Monster Research Institute is also one of the two practical test sites for the college entrance examination.

The scientific research results of the three major research institutes are also relatively mature in commercialization, and they often launch some weird gadgets that ordinary people can afford.

Only the Relics Research Institute has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery. Not only are their scientific research progress and results rarely open to the public, but outsiders rarely get invitations to visit in depth.

Take the controllable time travel project team of the Heritage Research Institute as an example. In order to raise astronomical research funds, they had to deal with the outside world and solicit sponsorship, but they only held activities within Blue Home.

After Meng Chao obtained the status of director of Blue Home, he once wanted to go deep into the ancient ruins to understand the progress of the controllable time travel technology research and development project.

He saved the lives of many time travel technology experts during the raid on the King's Landing Hotel, and these experts were also willing to invite him.

But the Relics Research Institute still requires him to submit thirty or fifty pieces of information, go through red tape review, and undergo the most detailed physical and brain tests.

Meng Chao was busy practicing in the wilderness at that time.

Then it fell into the battle of the Nest City and the battle outside the Dragon City.

How can I have time to deal with the review of the Heritage Research Institute?

This matter was delayed.

At this moment, after seeing the mystery and power of the ancient ruins from Lei Zongchao, how could Meng Chao still restrain his curiosity?

"The ancient ruins indeed contain power that people on earth cannot imagine, but this power is not within reach. On the contrary, it may bring disaster. It is an out-and-out treasure smeared with poison."

Lei Zongchao said to Meng Chao very seriously, "There is no conspiracy theory about the mystery of the Relics Research Institute, nor is it like the rumors in some streets and alleys, which say that some powerful people have monopolized the right to explore the ancient ruins.

I have drawn invincible divine power from it, and I will not allow those who come after me to imitate it.

"No, there is no such thing. In fact, the ancient ruins are completely open to all Longcheng citizens. No matter who you are, it doesn't matter if you want to enter - as long as you can prove that you have the strength to be responsible for yourself and others."

"Yeah?"

This answer was far beyond Meng Chao's expectations. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Then why don't many powerful people who are at their peak now go deep into the ancient ruins to explore?"

"Because there is great uncertainty in exploring ancient ruins."

Lei Zongchao smiled bitterly and explained, "The so-called ancient ruins can be understood as a bottomless gap buried deep under the Extraordinary Tower, which goes straight to the center of the earth. Of course, there are Yaya Chacha around the 'main gap'

, criss-crossing, spider web-like 'branch seams', like a vast ancient tree growing from head to toe, towards the center of the earth.

"No one knows how deep the 'main seam' is, and our exploration is mainly carried out in the 'branch seams' that sprout out.

"These 'branch seams' all have a certain degree of independence, with different physical laws, spatial laws, traps and even ancient germs. Of course, they may also contain fossils, runes, treasures, relics and supernatural powers of ancient civilizations.

Secret method.

"The problem is, how to crack the mechanism, how to defend against germs, how to crack the runes, how to get the approval of the ancient treasure... There are no rules to follow. As I just said, it is just the superposition of probabilities, not the realm.

The higher the level, the stronger the combat effectiveness, and the richer the adventure experience, the more likely you are to survive and return with a full load.

"In other words, whether you are an ordinary soldier who has not yet awakened to extraordinary power, or a powerful person in the divine realm, going deep into the ancient ruins is a matter of luck, and the latter is even more dangerous.

"How should I put it? The ancient ruins are not like cold dead objects, but rather like they are alive in some incredible way and are silently observing every move of the explorers who penetrate deep into its body.

"If the explorer's strength is low, it may not be interested and won't even bother to move; but if it is a powerful person in the divine realm with a shining life magnetic field and a blazing soul fire, it will suddenly increase the difficulty and difficulty of exploration.

The risk factor arranges various obstacles for explorers, just like..."

"test?"

Meng Chao recalled Aji's words and added, "It's like some kind of test?"

"Yes, the ancient ruins are like a very 'fair' test where the difficulty coefficient is randomly adjusted according to the strength of the subjects. On the other hand, its difficulty and danger will continue to increase with depth.

.”

Lei Zongchao continued, "When the Blood Alliance first discovered the ancient ruins, we mainly circled around thirty to fifty meters underground. The 'branch seams' there were relatively stable and safe. Even if we encountered danger, we would still treat it as if we were in danger.

The level of science and technology in the mid-21st century can be observed and understood. At this depth, the survival rate of explorers is not low.

"But the Blood Alliance was not satisfied and forced us to rappel along the bottomless 'main seam', descending from thirty to fifty meters underground to two to three hundred meters underground.

"At this depth, there is insufficient oxygen, the space is cramped, the temperature is extremely high, and it is filled with all kinds of interference and radiation, as well as terrible ancient bacteria, which can turn humans into unrecognizable monsters at any time.

“Many explorers were caught off guard and died tragically at this depth.

"Of course, the surviving explorers have gained more benefits from this depth than from the shallow underground.

"And when the depth breaks through five hundred meters underground.

"This place seems to be another world. The connection between the explorer and the ground is completely cut off, and even the laws of physics are completely distorted.
