Chapter 427: Enter the Ruins
Jacques didn't have much time to think about the plan and discuss the feasibility of the plan.
Because Fat Orange had already entered the ruins at this time, he also cleaned up the dozens of werewolves waiting at the entrance of the ruins.
According to Fat Orange's understanding of werewolves, the wolf king can feel the death of his nearby subordinates, so it stands to reason that the wolf king should send other subordinates to investigate the situation and figure out why the little brother guarding the door died unexpectedly. Unfortunately, to Fat Orange's surprise, after waiting for a long time, there were no other werewolves coming out of the depths of the ruins to reinforce them.
Although Fat Tangerine is currently guarding the entrance, in order to avoid accidents, the people outside need to hurry up and decide whether to enter the ruins.
Jacques and Lily naturally wanted to enter the ruins, and transcendents like them, who were close to the Great Perfection of the Sculptors, needed to obtain energy or exercises from the ruins to help them break through the bottleneck. But a few of Jacques' friends, he didn't advise them to venture into the ruins.
Lily quietly pulled Alyssia, she had always been the hardest working and most eager to become strong among her friends, so it was better to convince her first. The master stepped forward, but Alyssa still followed Lily's advice.
As for the others, Jacques gave a word and a look, and they followed Jacques's advice and prepared to return to the cave where they were hiding and wait for the incident to subside.
So the only ones who really needed to decide whether to risk their lives were the ninety-six boar knights led by Shui Zhao.
"What else are you thinking about, let's go!" said Shui Zhao with a big grin.
But Shui Zhao's adjutant Luo Yi immediately grabbed Shui Zhao, who was eager to try, after listening to the situation described by Jacques: "Miss, the task given to us by the black master is to bring back the benefits of the ruins, the focus is to bring them back, if there is no hope of success, I don't think we need to enter the ruins and fight monsters, sacrificing in vain is not our goal, nor is it our responsibility." β
And after Shui Zhao listened to Luo Yi's persuasion, he immediately exploded, and vented out together with the anger and grievances that Jacques brought to him before: "Annoyed, annoyed, surnamed Luo, don't talk about Heiye, if we don't try, how can we complete Heiye's task? Isn't it just a pack of wolves! What are you afraid of?"
"A pack of wolves, Miss Shui, don't forget that it was this pack of wolves that wiped out the army of the Sun God Kingdom. We can't do it, you have to admit that, right? Doesn't that mean that those wolves are stronger than us? We are only such a small number of people, we don't have mounts yet, and we are not the opponent of more than a thousand werewolves at all!" Luo Yi no longer cared about Shui Zhao's feelings, and said his thoughts directly.
Although Shui Zhao was appointed by Hei Ye as the leader of the boar knights, in the army of the Ugin clan, Shui Zhao was still only a young generation, and it could even be said that if she was not the daughter of the Shui Han Patriarch, she might not be able to command this team composed entirely of the most elite warriors in the Ugin Guard.
Everyone in the team is a plastic powerhouse, and the lowest position is a small flag officer who commands thirty-six people, and Luo Yi was originally one of the only three chief officials in Wujinwei, leading one-third of Wujinwei.
It can be said that no matter in terms of combat experience or status in the army, Shui Zhao needs to carefully consider Luo Yi's suggestions. And Luo Yi, as a deputy, should also obey the commander's decision.
But now it has become Shui Zhao and Luo Yi arguing endlessly, one pointing at the other party for lack of courage, and the other thinking that the other party is too reckless and irresponsible.
Jacques didn't have time to wait for the boar knights to negotiate a result.
"Alright!" Jacques interrupted their argument, "Alright, Mizuaki, you bring the knight who is willing to try his luck at the ruins with us." Luo Yi, you take the rest of the people back to the cave and wait for us. β
"Obey!" Luo Yi said immediately.
Shui Zhao was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, she still knew that Luo Yi's influence was much greater than herself: "But ......"
"Okay, a few count, it's easy to do things with fewer people. Jacques hastened to put an end to the argument.
In the end, only twelve people were willing to go on an adventure with Shui Zhao, but in fact, this number exceeded Jacques's estimate.
The two groups set off separately.
"If we don't come back in ten days, you should go back first......" Shui Zhao suddenly said something unlucky.
However, the boar knights did not carry much food, but there was no need to wait in the cave all the time.
Jacques had no choice but to say to Marianne and Alisia: "Shui Zhao is right, if we are too long in it, you should return to TavarΓ© first, but don't worry, we will be fine." β
......
After the fifteen people passed through the entrance of the ruins, the first thing they saw was a high mountain, which was completely different from the relics of Ray's inheritance that Jacques had entered, it was an endless grassland, but here it was a majestic peak.
Of course, this difference can only be felt by Jacques and Lily, and Mizuaki and the others are entering another dimensional space for the first time, and they have not yet adapted to this completely different environment.
The scene inside the ruins is not the same as the message left by his father, Paul, which is to be expected. Jacques' parents entered the ruins three times, and the circumstances of the three encounters were different, the only thing that was the same was that the temple where their ruins were gifted was the same. So now not to mention the appearance of mountains, even if there is an ocean, Jacques is not surprised, and it is more important to find the inheritance hall, and it is better to arrive earlier than the werewolves.
The sky is gone, the sun is gone, the clouds are gone, and when you look up, there are only stars that seem to be close to the distance, and you can see the surrounding environment clearly through the illumination of these points of light.
Not far in front of them were more than a dozen corpses, men, women and children were naked, and there were no obvious external injuries, if the wounds were to be said, only some abrasions on the hands and feet, but everyone's stiff expressions after death were all smiling, strange and serene.
Seeing that Shui Zhao was a little puzzled, Jacques quickly explained, "They are all infected werewolves, and they have changed back to human appearance after death. β
"Oh...... I see! It's okay, it's okay. So where should we go?" said Mizuaki, holding back his curiosity.
Who killed these werewolves? Jacques kid? This guy has always been mysterious, and it seems that he really has a hidden hand, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to come in.
"Fat orange, fat orange, where are you going?" 678
That's really a question, and Jacques is asking Fat Orange as well.
"The emperor doesn't know that the environment here has affected the scope of the emperor's spiritual power perception, and it has also made it impossible for the emperor to fly. Although Fat Orange came in a little earlier, he found that he couldn't fly, so he didn't investigate deeply, and kept guard at the door.
"Then let's climb the mountain first, with such an obvious mountain in front of you, it must be right to go there. Jacques made a decision.
The group headed towards the mountain, which seemed to be very close to the entrance of the ruins, but was actually extremely far away.
Everyone walked for a long time, but they still didn't reach the bottom of the mountain.
When things go wrong, there must be oddities.
Jacques simply stopped the group and said, "Do you feel like we've been walking for so long, have you ever gotten closer to that mountain?"
Everyone said that it seemed that not much had changed.
In this way, their previous judgment may have been wrong, and they may not be able to reach the foot of the mountain by walking, and the mountain is just a setting for the environment.
This is something that only Jacques, who is familiar with the dimensional space, knows, and once he figured it out, Jacques immediately realized:
Their purpose is not to climb to the top of the mountain, but to enter the real inheritance place in the ruins, which is a blind eye!
It seems that there is a need to find other ways to activate the true Legacy Lands.
According to Paul's previous experience, every time they entered, they clashed with other teams who also came to explore the ruins, and only after winning did they find the land of inheritance.
Do you have to defeat those werewolves to be recognized by the Inheritance?
Then you need to find them first!
After walking for so long, I didn't even find a trace of the wolf, could it be that the two sides were not in the same direction at all?
Just as Jacques was trying to think about countermeasures, the source energy in Shui Zhao's hand fluctuated in a flash, and an ice hockey ball appeared in her hand.
Run-up, throw.
Shui Zhao threw the ice ball in his hand, and after hitting the ground, the ice ball rolled farther and farther on the ground with inertia, until the eyes of these transcendents were out of sight.
Shui then concocted the same concoction and threw an ice hockey ball in the other three directions, carefully observing the rolling distance and speed of the puck in the same direction.
After thinking for a while, Shui Zhao pointed in one direction and said, "Go over there, the terrain is higher over there, the ice hockey ball rolls slowly, and the speed at which the ice hockey rolls in the other three directions is the same." β
Jacques didn't expect that Shui Zhao relied on this method to judge the direction, and the terrain was different from the other three directions, and it could indeed be the right direction.
Sure enough, just after walking a short distance in the direction confirmed by Shui Zhao, Shui Zhao, who was walking in front, suddenly disappeared, and the space around her shook slightly before disappearing.
Shui Zhao's disappearance did not make the others panic, but they followed closely with excitement and finally found the right direction!
It was as if they had passed through a curtain and followed Shui Zhao forward, and they all entered another space.
Jacques also passed through the "curtain", and the scene in front of him changed abruptly, and under an arch was a staircase that winded upward.
This scene finally matches Paul's description!
Walk up the stairs and you'll find the Land of Heritage!
But!
Jacques and Lily both discovered something terrible, the fat orange that was originally in Lily's arms did not pass through the "curtain" and was isolated outside.
Jacques tried to use telepathy to connect with Fat Orange, but he lost contact, which can only happen if the two are thousands of miles apart!
Here Jacques was anxiously trying to reconnect with Fat Orange, but Shui Zhao shouted excitedly:
"Come and see, there's a stone tablet here!
Everyone else quickly gathered around, and Shui Zhao read it out according to the words on the stone tablet:
"The fate of every human being is closely linked, and no matter what difficulties you face in the future, you should put aside hatred and prejudice, unite to face it together, and forge ahead!
May humanity live forever in the long river of time. β
