After experiencing the Roaring Wolf attack and the loss of a teammate, the squad became more cautious in their actions.

After four or five hours in the snowstorm, he encountered a herd of fanged wild boars and several polar saber-toothed tigers. After two fierce battles, almost all of the remaining five members of the team were slightly injured.

Fortunately, the hardships along the way were not in vain, and in the dark night of the ice field, everyone finally found the ruins!

Holding the cold fireworks in their hands, everyone saw that in front of them was a bare stone mountain, covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, if it were not for several huge stone sculptures at the foot of the mountain, I am afraid that everyone would have imagined that this is the location of the ruins.

"The ruins are in such an inconspicuous place?" Guo Chong stood under the sculpture seven or eight meters high, and used the meteor stumbling to remove the ice and snow covering it, revealing mottled and broken stone statues and large swaths of once-exquisite but now dilapidated patterns.

Yaoyang approached the cold fireworks and found that the style of the pattern was not like that of the Kyushu Republic, but a bit like the totem of some northern peoples under the Gaia Federation.

"According to the mastermind's guidance, this should be the place. We have less than 40 hours to go, so we must hurry. Zhu Changsheng said with a solemn expression, "Now we are divided into two groups and look for the entrance." ”

Zhu Changsheng and Guan Haohai were in a group, Yaoyang and Yuwenjie Guo Chong were in a group, all the way from west to east, all the way from east to west, divided into two ends to climb the mountain. This stone mountain doesn't occupy a large area, and the entrance shouldn't be difficult to find.

However, each ruin is full of dangers, and it is said that many of them are full of traps, and some are simply a paradise for wild beasts. No matter how inconspicuous the ruins in front of them were, everyone still didn't dare to slack off. At least when Yaoyang climbs the mountain, he must choose a good position at every step and then settle down, for fear of attracting some hidden dangers.

I cautiously came all the way to the top of the mountain, but I didn't see anything special. However, there is a snow-covered stone pillar in the center of the mountain, and the original face cannot be seen.

The two groups of people converged at the top of the mountain, and Zhu Changsheng circled around the stone pillar twice and said, "Peel off the ice and snow on it and see what's inside?" ”

Everyone worked hard to get rid of the ice and snow, and under the light of the cold fireworks, the stone pillar gradually revealed its true face.

"Is it a dragon?" When the ice and snow were completely cleared, everyone saw clearly that the stone pillar was a dragon-shaped carving. A black dragon meandered upward, ready to rush into the sky. It's just strange that this dragon actually doesn't have a tail. And judging from the condition of the carving, it is not that it was damaged later, but that it was not carved in the first place.

"Looks like there's a mechanism here?" Yu Wenjie is the most attentive one among everyone. She walked around behind the black dragon sculpture and suddenly pointed to the pedestal.

Everyone leaned over, and sure enough, they saw a knob-shaped thing. Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what would happen when they opened this mechanism.

"I haven't seen the entrance anywhere else, so it seems that the mystery is on this mechanism." Zhu Changsheng said, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone was silent, and Zhu Changsheng had to say: "It's not a way to go on like this, just raise your hands to vote, who agrees to open this organ?" ”

He was the first to raise his hand, everyone thought for a while, and Yaoyang also raised his hand, followed by Yu Wenjie and Guan Haohai. Only Guo Chong was still a little hesitant, but since there were already four people who agreed, he could only obey the majority.

Yu Wenjie volunteered to open the mechanism, she asked everyone to take more than a dozen steps back, and she also retreated to a safer place, and then she shook her wrist.

A green light flashed in her sleeve, and Yaoyang could see clearly that it was actually a green vine, almost like an extension of her arm, very flexible around the knob.

Yu Wenjie's face was solemn, her fingers flicked lightly on the vines, and she saw that the vines slowly tightened, and with a "click", the knob was twisted a grid.

"Click, click, click......" There was another click, and the knob was fully opened. Yu Wenjie shook her hand and withdrew the vine, and took a few steps back. Everyone looked at the sculpture with bated breath, wondering what would happen next.

There was a moment of silence, and there was not even a trace of movement except for the sound of snowflakes falling on the ground, and everyone was a little surprised, and they all saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

"How can this be, is it too long, the mechanism has rotted......" Guan Haohai couldn't help but say.

Before his words fell, everyone suddenly felt the stone mountain under their feet tremble!

"Earthquake!" Yaoyang's first reaction was a natural disaster, his body stuck to the ground like a nail, and no matter how the hill shook, his body also maintained its balance steadily.

However, the ensuing scene made Yaoyang change color, and in that series of shakings, the black dragon sculpture actually cracked from the center. Not only the sculpture, but also the entire mountain split into a thick crack from the center. This stone mountain is like an apple that has been cut with a knife, and it is completely divided into two.

Everyone gasped, this kind of mechanism that cracked the hill was really unexpected.

The shaking continued for a while, and the split of Stone Mountain was finally over. When the ground under their feet stopped shaking, everyone cautiously walked to the edge of the huge crack.

"Sure enough, it's the entrance!" Zhu Changsheng stood at the mouth of the crack and pointed to the row of black steps below and said excitedly.

Although the entrance had appeared, everyone was not happy at all. Who knows if there is any danger hidden in this, and besides, if this mechanism can be opened, it can also be closed, and if it suddenly closes after getting in, won't it be crushed alive into a meatloaf?

"I'm going to go in, what are you going to do?" Zhu Changsheng said.

"Coming here, how can you give up." Guan Haohai said with his hands in full swing.

Guo Chong's face was a little pale, since Cui Kai was bitten to death by the wolf king, he was a little distracted, and at the moment he just glanced at the crack silently, and he didn't make a sound.

Yaoyang glanced at Yu Wenjie and happened to see that this beautiful girl was also looking at herself. The two of them looked at each other, and they both felt a little embarrassed.

"There's no reason to give up here, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you have to break through." Yu Wenjie avoided Yaoyang's gaze and said lightly.

"Then let me take the lead!" Guan Haohai said, bending down and burrowing into the crack. The width of this crack is very large, and even a big man like Guan Haohai can easily walk in it.

Seeing that someone was the first to go down, the others were busy following. Yao Yang thought about it and simply fell on the last one.

The stairs are pitch black, and each step has a large width and span, and seems to have been designed for very tall people. The stone used for the stairs does not seem to have been polished, and the surface is very rough, Yaoyang squatted down and touched it, and there were potholes everywhere. However, after a little thought, he understood that in this kind of icy and snowy environment, it is more suitable to have unpolished steps, if it is really polished, a little ice and snow will be slippery and difficult to get off your feet.

The five of them walked down the stairs, although there were cold fireworks lighting in their hands, but it was still dark and dark below, and no one knew what was going on in the depths.

The canopy of heaven above was already dark, and the darkness in the cracks in the ground was like a beast, devouring everyone. The atmosphere became very oppressive, and everyone was doubly cautious, lest one of them die here without paying attention.

After walking down for half an hour, descending to a height of about two hundred meters, the stairs finally came to an end. Beside them was a huge crypt that smelled of dampness.

In front of everyone, there was a dark corridor. Zhu Changsheng threw a cold firework into it, and saw that there were broken cobwebs everywhere the light shone. It has apparently been untouched for many years.

Seeing such a scene, everyone frowned slightly, there are spider webs and spiders, maybe they are still poisonous species. People may not be afraid of fierce battles with wild beasts, but they are afraid of being bitten by small poisons such as spiders and scorpions.

"Miss Yuwen, you Jingzhai are the best at making medicines, I wonder if there is an antidote?" Zhu Changsheng looked at Yu Wenjie and asked tentatively.

Yu Wenjie smiled slightly, took out a porcelain bottle from a small leather pouch worn on her waist, poured out a few emerald green pills and said: "This is Jing Zhai's poison pulling pill, as long as it is not too strange poison, it can be lifted." ”

"Pulling out the poison pill?" Guan Haohai came over and rarely showed a smile, "I heard that Jingzhai has such an elixir, thank you Miss Yuwen!" ”

Yaoyang had also heard of the fame of the Poison Pulling Pill, compared to the Lark Pill he had bought before, it was simply one heaven and one underground.

Since Yu Wenjie is generous, everyone is honest and polite, and each person took a poison pulling pill, and their hearts are a lot more stable.

There is an antidote to the poison to strengthen the courage, and everyone walks into the corridor. It's eerie, with cobwebs on the walls and the occasional poisonous bug. Yu Wenjie volunteered to walk in the front, and I don't know what means she used, those poisonous insects fled far away as soon as they showed their heads, and they didn't dare to approach the team at all.

Everyone speculated that Yu Wenjie was carrying some poison-repellent treasures, and they were secretly envious in their hearts.

With Yu Wenjie leading the way, it took everyone half an hour to finally pass through the corridor and enter a huge crypt.

It's more like a crypt than an underground palace. The walls of this huge domed hall shone with fine light, and Yao Yang walked over to take a closer look, only to find that the walls were completely cast of dark iron, and the craftsmanship was no less than the buildings he had ever seen. It's hard to imagine that such a majestic structure could be hidden beneath an inconspicuous stone on the ice field.

Yao Yang was studying the wall, and the whole hall suddenly trembled slightly, and the violent shaking just now actually came again.

"Oops!" Guo Chong screamed and wanted to withdraw from the corridor, but he heard a loud "bang", and a gate was lowered from the place where the corridor and the hall were connected, completely cutting off everyone's retreat.
