The staircase is flanked by ancient bronze statues. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of the bronze statues are beast-shaped, with huge bodies and hideous faces, and their appearances are all different. These should be ancient beasts from the past, at least Nord Stream has never entered this ruin before, so not much is known about these bronze statues.

"Guardian Beast?" The wild ruins that ukiyo-e entered before usually have fierce beasts guarding the entrance to the ruins. However, the relics activities that players participate in on weekdays generally do not have a fierce beast guard.

The ruins of the event are just a large map, and when all the traps and hidden locations are unearthed, the only thing that will attract players to the ruins is probably a few items or equipment that are starting to become popular.

Where a Wild Ruin is better than an Event Ruin, in addition to the greater difficulty factor, generally speaking, the location of this Ruin will change after it is opened once. Even if you don't, if you want to open it the second time, the way to open it may be different from the first time.

Therefore, there are very few equipment from the field ruins, but they can generally be sold for a high price in the market.

"I can't rule it out. "Tanuki also have research on ruins, and sometimes it's true that things like stone statues are just decorations needed for the scene, but they can also be opportunities or guardian beasts. If it's a trap, it's relatively dangerous, because under normal circumstances, this kind of bronze statue will not be touched by the player, and it will be triggered when it senses an outsider. Players don't have to predict when the trap will appear, so it's the potential unknown danger that bothers players compared to guardian beasts. Attacking traps are one-hit fatal to the player.

From the moment they walked past the first bronze statue, they were more cautious and stepped up the ninth staircase, the bronze beast statues on both sides blinked their eyes, and the green light flickered, although it was fleeting, but it could not escape their eyes.

Stopping to be vigilant, they looked around to the left and right, and only heard a few "clicks", fast and crisp, and they were startled, it was a sound from behind. Turning back suddenly, the stairs behind him were disappearing one by one, replaced by sloping smooth ground, and the stairs were still disappearing, seeing that they were about to reach their feet, everyone's first reaction was to go forward, but when one stepped on the twelfth staircase, the crisp sound of "click" and the strangeness under his feet made his body stiffen. The fastest day ahead is a day and he turns back sharply, staring at ukiyo-e in disbelief.

Ukiyo-e stiffened, slowly looking down at the place where his feet were stepping, and a piece of the staircase was dented, obviously a mechanism.

"It's not my fault—" He didn't know there was a mechanism here.

One day is one day crying and mourning. Just at this moment, just looking at the stairs of the five floors in front of them and the range they were in, they changed rapidly in an instant, straight to the ground, and everyone lost their balance. Nord Stream and Wei Shengmo reacted the fastest, the two of them first thought about the bronze statues on both sides, the stairs were not wide, as long as they jumped to catch the edge, the two of them were the most flexible, if they could arrive in a second, they could prevent others from having an accident.

However, they thought too simply, the angle of inclination kept changing, and both of them used daggers and gloves, and only heard the sharp sound of friction until three seconds with the fifteenth staircase as the dividing line, and all the remaining stairs were flat and had been upright at one hundred and eighty degrees, like a high wall, but unfortunately this high wall was too smooth.

Without exception, they all fell out.

"Bang!"

"Whew... Whew~"

Several voices rang out one after another. After two seconds of silence, several people got up one after another. A day is a day, lying on the ground crying with a face. "I was thinking that you guys would be behind me to help me out of danger. "After all, he was too unlucky today, and the lollipop advised him that if there was a mechanism, he could stay as far away as he could, so as to ensure his survival rate. Unexpectedly, he ran the farthest away from the rear mechanism first, and the result was the first to land. The armor on his body weighs 10,000 catties, and the warrior's own strength is also very high, so in this case, the fastest decline rate is one day, and it will land before Rashomon.

When I hit it like that, my back was numb.

One day is one day to sit up and stare at the culprit ukiyo-e. "I'll just say it's not going well today. You did it on purpose, right?"

Ukiyo-e raised her eyebrows, "Deliberately your sister, the ghost knows there's a mechanism there." ”

One day is a day, holding my heart, "No, I miss my cosy little bed." ”

The tanuki were amused by him.

Wei Shengmo said at this time: "There is movement." ”

Everyone immediately retracted their smiles and entered a combat state, their perception improved, and without the influence of demonic energy, they were able to sense the hostile monsters that existed near them.

Rashomon turned around and looked around, it was still the entrance where they had just entered the ruins, flowers and plants surrounded the stone wall, broken pillars, the breeze blew, and there was silence.

But they sensed the hostility.

Intense, about to explode!

"Ukiyo-e back. The tanuki shouted, and everyone subconsciously distanced themselves, and Ukiyo-e turned around and raised his scepter, and a fireball hit directly, landing on the open mouth of the huge man-eating flower.

"Bang. ”

The man-eating flower is knocked away.

The lower half of its body, which had not yet fully appeared, was completely exposed at this moment, and the slender flower path became its walking legs. The man-eating flower flew two meters, smashed into the stone wall, and fell into the vegetation behind it.

At this time, the tanuki dodged to the left, and the bow and arrow shot in front of him, but the bow and arrow touched the air but was blocked, and the flames burned with a "poof", instantly outlining the figure of the man-eating beast.

Screams erupted.

"Get out of the way. ”

Beixi rushed to Rashomon's side, Rashomon turned around and raised his gun, I don't know what the head of the gun was on, and a green giant mouth gradually appeared in front of him, the head of the gun was deep in the mouth, tightly entangled, and half of his weapons fell into his mouth. Rashomon frowned slightly, pulled the trigger and the bullet was injected, saliva flew everywhere, it was only a dozen centimeters away from Rashomon, and Rashomon's weapon was gradually being devoured.

Nord Stream slammed into the ground.

The magic array seemed to be embedded in the ground, the air flow protruded, and the powerful force blasted it away, Rashomon retreated with the gun, and shook the sniper rifle with his right hand, and all the liquid flowing on the body of the gun fell.

Thankfully, his weapon is not affected by this venom. The metal body is still new.

The air around them became very strange, and everyone retreated in a circle, turning their backs to each other, looking left and right, and the figures of many man-eating plants gradually emerged.

In addition to the man-eating flowers, there are also strange cacti, floating in the air or standing on the ground, their eyes are red, and they are hostile to Nord Stream and others.

Cannibal flowers vary in color, but as long as they open their mouths, they can spew large squirts of venom. A total of about twenty plant monsters appeared, surrounded by layers, occupying the small flat land.

"Can you second?" One day is a day to squint, and the sword in his hand is ready to move.

"Level one hundred and thirty, little monster. The tanuki quickly skimmed through the information given by the system.

One day is one day, raising eyebrows and smiling: "That's the second." The magic array in his right hand turned, and the shield fell in his hand, and he held it tightly in front of him to aim at the strange shield in front of him, silent.

A silent symbol appeared on the head of the monster, and a day was a day with a sword and a slash.

Anger retreated. Shake the mobs in front of you a few meters to make room for them to output. The number of plant monsters is not large, and the level seems to be high, but in fact, for players at their stage in Nord Stream, only the boss can bother them. There is nothing particularly noticeable about ordinary mobs, and one day is a day when they think they can be beaten, but in fact, it is just an attempt to say, and his subsequent anger shock not only shook the man-eating flower open, but also caused a lot of damage.

For Nord Stream, they are a signal that can be output at will.

It took four seconds to solve.

After the skill effect disappeared, it returned to its previous peace, and the corpse gradually became transparent, leaving behind a pile of loot. The monsters of the ruins will produce ten gold coins even for the lowest-level mobs, and if they are of a higher level or boss, the chance of a legendary weapon will be great.

However, few players can hunt boss-level monsters in such high-level ruins. However, if the thief player has a high level of stealing, it is a treasure for them.

"This poison bead—" Lollipop pointed to a few beads on the ground that emitted a faint green color, "It's the material for making the potion." ”

The tanuki's eyes lit up, "Put it away." ”

Lollipop nodded and put the poison bead into the package, and the rest of the whiteboard equipment was allowed to slowly disappear after the time was up.

Clearing a wave of monsters, the group focused on the steps behind them again. "Once the trap is triggered, it won't be triggered a second time in the same amount of time. ”

But they are more concerned about whether there will be other mechanisms. Previously, they had triggered a simple trap that didn't do any damage. In that case, if the mechanism was harmful, they probably wouldn't be here right now.

"I'll investigate. "As a thief, Micro Ink himself has skills and props that can eliminate mechanisms.

Everyone stood on the edge of the steps, and Wei Shengmo stepped on the first floor and slowly went up.

Rashomon counted them carefully, they triggered the trap on the ninth floor, and then the ukiyo-e stepped on the twelfth floor, and then split from the fifteenth floor, and the stairs were sent down in an inclined plane.

"One mechanism every two floors. Rashomon felt that this should be the rule.

"But stone statues don't exist every two floors. Lollipop pointed to the group of stone statues above, although the left and right sides were facing each other, but the number of steps separated by was irregular.

The first one is on the third staircase, but the number of floors on which the statues are located is not every two or three layers, but irregular.

Nord Stream said: "Maybe the mechanism is not on the stone statue. ”

Tanuki nodded in agreement, "The stone statue may just be a sensor that triggers the mechanism, so the number of layers is different, but maybe the detection range is large. ”

"The traps are all on the steps. ”

As he spoke, Micro Ink stopped at the ninth staircase, where they first triggered the mechanism. It should be safe and the mechanism won't trigger a second time, but there's no guarantee that there won't be a second mechanism.

The traps in this game are all run by magic, and generally there is a difference between traps and traps. Traps are created with ordinary tools, and they do a lot of damage to the player, but they are far less lethal than traps.

Micro Ink has a keen sense of mechanism, and when the mechanism is activated, the element of magic will be emitted, and he himself has a tool to check the mechanism, that is, the magic that disables the mechanism.

That's the glove.

By the time he stepped up the steps, he had already changed his gloves. It is a rogue-specific item that can block the function of the mechanism, and can only be used ten times at a time.

The maximum number of mechanisms that exist in a place is about ten. The player touches it with a glove, regardless of whether the touch has a mechanism or not, it will be counted once. When the number of times is used, the item will be invalidated against the mechanism, and it can only be used the next day.

So it's not like the item can detect the trap on its own, and then the player can use it directly. This is a high-end item that needs to be used at the player's own discretion.

Wei Shengmo squatted down and looked at the steps roughly, then got up and continued to step forward. The stone statue still exists on the edge of the platform far above it, not that every bronze statue is a sensor, this staircase is very long, and it is not common sense if all of them have mechanisms.

Micro Ink walked safely to the fifteenth floor. Then step up to the sixteenth floor and continue upward, step by step, slowly and cautiously. It wasn't until he reached the twentieth floor that Wei Shengmo stood still and lowered his eyes to examine the stairs of the twenty-first floor.

Overly obvious mechanisms sometimes go unnoticed. The thin lips under the mask hooked slightly, and in this place, I don't know whether it should be easy to find or too hidden.

He crouched down, looked at the staircase junction, a small pattern sign, looked at it carefully for a while, confirmed the pattern, and then raised his hand to pat.

The few people below only saw that the place where his palm met the steps emitted a light, and the magic array flickered, which was a spell that had been cracked.

"Find the first one. ”

"Let's go. ”

Wei Shengmo continued upward, and everyone slowly followed. As long as it is a step that Wei Shengmo has walked on, it is safe.

It took the group five minutes to finally complete the fifty-four steps. In addition to the previous two trigger mechanisms, a total of five mechanisms were found along the way.

They got on the platform unharmed.

Standing still on the platform, they found that this seemed to be the beginning.

Directly in front of the platform is a sky bridge.

A few meters further onto the long bridge, but the left and right sides of the bridge are empty and filled with strange creatures like ghosts, swimming back and forth.

On the other side of the bridge, is an island?

Floating in the air without knowing what lies behind the island.

They had to cross the bridge to know what was on the island and what was behind it.

One day is a day to walk to the edge of the platform, look down, and then swallow saliva and quickly retreat, this is probably a little dangerous.

Below, an abyss awaits them.
