There is nothing useful on the body of the ground moth, that is, its blood can be studied, don't look at the appearance of this thing, but there is a special substance in its blood, which has a restraining effect on all kinds of toxins in the swamp, but although the ground moth is Qingfeng, it was continuously injured just now, and there was a lot of blood flow, and in the end there was not much to collect. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The swamp is a natural garbage disposal site, and Merlin sets off as soon as she takes her blood, saving herself from encountering creatures that smell blood.

Even at noon, the swamp was eerie, and from time to time there was a strange gurgling sound from some of the nearby swamps, as if something was watching you underground or in the mud.

Suddenly, a figure walked out of a sweaty green reed, looking relaxed and freehand, which was a little out of place with the environment.

"Ingram, are you sure it's here?" Merlin asked.

"According to the map and Thorne's annotation on the map, this is the case. ”

The swamp is not all muddy swamps, behind a bush in front of it, there is a faint ruined wall, which does not look very luxurious, and there is no sign of a city wall, but the area is large, and the surface of the wall does not know whether it has been corroded by time or by some creature, and it is full of small holes slightly thicker than a finger, dense like a beehive, and there is a chilling feeling.

"This is the ancient ruins?" asked Merlin, frowning and a little uncertain.

"It should be here, according to the direction shown, only this place is the most consistent, I have just done a simple search, the buildings on the ground have been destroyed, and there is nothing of value, but I have not found any danger. However, I found a cave in the center of the ruins, where there were traces of human activity, at least six months ago. ”

Half a year ago?

The time corresponding to Thorne's promotion is not much different.

There was a cold aura in the cave, and Ingram and the two alchemy golems went down first, and after confirming that there was no danger, Merlin jumped down...... This is actually the roof of a large hall, I don't know how Thorne opened it at the beginning, it was pitch black inside, it was extremely quiet, Merlin raised her hand and cast a wizard's fire, floating overhead, and the whole hall immediately appeared in a bright yellow halo.

It was empty, but two doors were found on the surrounding walls. One door was closed, the other was half-open, and Merlin went straight to the half-open door...... Inside the door was an empty room, with a few shelves, a pile of fragments of potion test tubes, and some tools for refining potions on the table, but they were all rotten, and several of them still had finger marks on them, which must have been left by Thorne, if nothing else.

"Looks like Thorne's potion should have been obtained here. Ingram said.

There is no doubt that this is not a real laboratory, it is possible that the apprentice of the wizard lived, and then somehow kept a potion...... Maybe there's something else, maybe it's a potion formula.

After looking around and finding nothing else, Merlin exited the room and came to another door, her brow furrowing slightly.

Judging from the location of the gate, this is the main portal, but the door has no lock or handle, which looks very strange.

"How do I open this door?" said to Ingram.

"This ......"

Merlin thought for a moment and spread her spiritual power over the gate...... Suddenly, the spiritual power seemed to have encountered an obstacle, and it paused slightly, and then above the empty gate, a refining array slowly emerged.

"Sure enough...... No wonder Thorne didn't come in. As soon as Mei Lin saw this alchemy array, she immediately knew it in her heart.

This alchemy circle is not complicated, just to prevent creatures other than wizards from entering rashly, but in order to touch this alchemy circle, you must have strong enough spiritual power...... At least the strength of the mental power of the official wizard can be triggered.

Thorne found the potion in the room next to him, but he didn't have a formal wizard at the time, so he couldn't trigger this alchemy circle, and naturally he couldn't enter it.

It was not very difficult to crack this alchemy circle, and after Mei Lin thoroughly studied every rune of this alchemy circle with her spiritual power, its mystery was gone...... A moment later, the alchemy circle had been cracked, and the stone door opened with a bang.

Upon entering, Merlin found that it was like a small hall similar to an entrance, empty and empty, but in the corner of the room, there was a staircase leading to the underground, and under the faint light of the fire, the staircase extended downward, giving people a mysterious feeling.

The Phantom Pine Cat was slightly uneasy, but did not raise the alarm, Merlin used her witchcraft to probe the witchcraft, and there seemed to be no threat within a hundred meters of the surroundings, so she walked down the stairs with confidence...... Of course, to be on the safe side, two alchemy golems sandwiched her and Ingram in the middle, one behind the other.

The staircase is made of unknown materials, and after countless years, stepping on it still gives people a solid, steady feeling, without a single sound, even if the heavy body of an alchemy puppet walks on it.

Merlin's gaze suddenly froze, she slowly squatted down, reached out and wiped it on the stairs, under the light of the wizard's fire, there was only a faint bit of dust on the white finger belly!

Mei Lin's heart suddenly froze, a strange feeling came to her heart, she just felt that something was wrong on it, but she never thought of what was wrong, and now she finally understood, that is, this ruin is too clean, a place that has been vacant for a long time, and there is no dust removal alchemy array protection, how can it be so clean?

It's so clean that it's even a bit excessive, and it's no exaggeration to describe it as spotless!

Thinking of this, Merlin's steps were a little hesitant, and a chill rose up her spine. Don't say anything bold, not afraid of anything, really not afraid of anything, is an idiot!

But all human beings will always have things that they are afraid of, but everyone's standards are different...... Wizards are powerful because they know more about awe!

Get back?

Of course it can't be, but Merlin is ready to release the spell, and with the alchemy puppet around to protect her, even if there is a danger, she has the opportunity to escape into the Rubic Manor as soon as possible.

After carefully walking down the stairs, there was no danger, and certainly no life...... At least she didn't find out.

The room was dim, but it had a hazy feel...... I couldn't see how big the room was, or what was inside.

"Anyone?"
