"Grenade! Quickly use grenades. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)"

The fact that the pirates are outnumbered is not an advantage over the battlefield heather, which is as large as a heavy truck, and is naturally driven to run wolf, Luo Zhengdao quickly changed his thinking, and shouted loudly for his subordinates to wield firepower.

Hearing the sound, the pirates who had been stunned around woke up like a dream, and they took out the new grenade from their backpacks, pulled off the safety bolt and pulled the fire rope and threw it towards the battlefield heather.

It's been a short time since I crossed over to the new world, and if Luo Zhengdao doesn't have any idea of technological innovation, I'm really sorry for the identity of the traverser. This new type of pull grenade, as well as the artillery flint device that has not yet been put into practical use, can be regarded as Luo Zhengdao's contribution to the cause of weapons technological innovation in the new world. With the help of a tiny spark generated by the friction between the thin copper wire and the glass powder, the compressed stone pine powder in the copper tube of the grenade is ignited, and the entire grenade is detonated. By omitting the step of igniting an open flame and eliminating many inconveniences such as fuses and carrying fires, this revolutionary product is still technically primitive as an explosive firearm compared to the old world grenade, but it is much more practical than the throwing explosives of the same era.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Dozens of grenades were smashed out in a matter of seconds, and moments later, the forest battlefield was filled with the roar of explosions, dense enough to resemble the cacophony of firecrackers during the Old World Spring Festival.

Assuming that the timeline of this battle is returned to a thousand years ago, it is said that the exploration and mapping detachment composed of two or three hundred lightly armed infantry under Luo Zhengdao and a regular army of 1,000 people may not be enough for this battlefield heather scourge. The rough-skinned and fierce war beasts against the army composed of ordinary humans are the same as the slaughter process of absolute violence crushing the infantry by tanks and infantry, but unfortunately the world has changed over time, and you can't always turn over those outdated old yellow calendars to live. New World weapons technology continues to advance, and this heavy grenade with a charge of 1.5 pounds, developed by Luo Zhengdao, has the destructive power to tear through the tough skin of battlefield heather.

At this time, as a series of explosions sounded, the huge body of this green monster that trampled the battlefield began to tremble, followed by a long and miserable wail.

The grenade explosion must have been a far cry from killing the massive Battlefield heather, but the pirates' counterattack gave the beast a taste of pain. Just as the heather lifted one of its forefeet, ready to step down heavily, its movements stalled. In the perception of the battlefield heather, a strong cold coercive aura struck, which seemed to be below him. Driven by the survival instinct of living creatures, the originally furious battlefield heather was timid, gave up the guarding mission entrusted by the previous master, suddenly got up and jumped, and drilled headlong into the earth with the help of the potential energy of her own fall.

"Boom—"

All of a sudden, dirt and stones flew in all directions, and the shrapnel flew like a debris that forced the pirates to run with their heads in their hands. Seeing the abnormal behavior of the battlefield heather fleeing without a fight, Luo Zhengdao's mouth opened wide to the point that he couldn't close it, and muttered:

"Why did it run away?"

Anyone with naturalist knowledge in the new world knows one thing, a biological weapon like the battlefield heather that was born for war is born as a model of not being afraid of death, and this kind of war plane will actually escape from the battle, which is really a strange story through the ages!

Like Luo Zhengdao, Vina Dubov, who knew more about the characteristics of these creatures, covered her red lips in surprise, she couldn't believe the amazing facts she saw with her eyes. Surprised, surprised, Luo Zhengdao, who was in a trance, immediately put this matter behind him, if this guy didn't know each other and ran away, he could only use the magic card to clean it up one more time, and now the left and right just saved some energy, how did this feeling of slight detachment on his body come from? Could it be that the curse of the Aragami is about to be made? Suddenly, thinking of this terrible thing, Luo Zhengdao suddenly became nervous, the curse of the desolate god tossed him every time he wanted to die, it was not funny to fall in this barren mountain and wild place.

Immediately, Luo Zhengdao, who couldn't suppress his bad temper, began to yell and scream, and said:

"Count the casualties, send the wounded back to the beach camp, and send another two hundred men with two six-pounder guns and four eagles to reinforce them. The rest of the people will rest in place, and when the reinforcements arrive, we will continue the reconnaissance operation. ”

The risk of an investment is usually proportional to the final return, a principle that is common in both the New and Old Worlds. After the break, the exploration team converged with the pirates who rushed to reinforce it, and Luo Zhengdao didn't have the weird feeling that something bad was going on earlier, although he was somewhat unclear, he still ordered the team to go out again. Walking along this bizarre understory road, the pirates soon discovered a large area of ancient ruins at the edge of the thinning forest.

Towering as a maze of stone peaks, so majestic that one can only look up below, these great buildings have long since grown with vines and weeds, and if visitors had not come directly below them, they would have been nothing more than ordinary hills with sparse vegetation.

This nameless ruin, which appeared in front of the pirates, must have been a very prosperous city based on the scale of the ruins. Of course, no matter how lively it used to be, it is now completely abandoned.

Ancient ruins of unknown origin are not uncommon in a wizarding world that can trace history for tens of thousands of years, and the rise and fall of intelligent races in the New World is a common occurrence, let alone the rise and fall of a single city. To put it mildly, the number of known ruins in the New World, large and small, is estimated to be more than the number of gas stations in the Old World. That being said, without the protection of powerful monsters, the largest ancient ruins will inevitably be dug into ruins by greedy adventurers, and in the end, the ruins will be left with worthless broken bricks and tiles.

This city ruins are guarded by the heather guard on the battlefield outside, and it is estimated that adventurers with a little less strength and luck will inevitably bury their bones here, so the probability of good things remaining here is much greater than that of ordinary ruins.

As a veteran adventurer, Vina Dubov took advantage of her adventurer's knowledge, and she took the initiative to introduce Luo Zhengdao:

“…… The huge stone buildings over there look like temples, and the low stone houses around them are supposed to be places for worshippers, and this seems to be a religious city built around the temple. ”

For some reason, when everyone present raised their eyes to see the huge stone building that was supposed to be a sacred temple, their hearts trembled, as if an electric current ran through their bodies. Luo Zhengdao, who has a sharper intuitive sensitivity to disasters than ordinary people, can't help frowning, not to mention anything else, this omen of eyelids jumping is really not good!

"Shall we go in, Lord Earl?"

When he was thinking about it, when he heard the timid question of the pirate from Qiongzhou next to him, Luo Zhengdao almost crooked his nose in anger, and said with a cold snort:

"Nonsense, let's get here, do we turn around and go back the way we came?"

Wealth and danger are sought! Luo Zhengdao is not a fan of money and knows that no money is absolutely impossible, he had a vicious fight with the battlefield heather, and saw that the treasure that was about to be at his fingertips was given up for nothing, is it too much to do this?

Battle-ready pirates cautiously approached the abandoned temple in the center of the city, and through the cracked and collapsed façade of the temple, they could glimpse the rows of carved stone pillars on either side of the temple's divisions, and the seemingly never-ending carved portico in the depths of the corridor.

Needless to say, the pale yellow stone pillars are decorated with reliefs from top to bottom, and the double-painted lotus column heads support the heavy stone mountain flowers, and every decorative detail shows that the craftsmen who built the temple were extremely religious. When the temple was silent for hundreds of years, the latecomers who rushed into this ruin saw the dilapidated but still magnificent temple of the past, the smoke of the incense that once existed, and the reverberating scene of the chant seemed to vaguely emerge in front of them. This ancient temple, which exudes a sense of sacred solemnity everywhere brick and stone, welcomes these new visitors peacefully, just as the old man who is accustomed to the vicissitudes of the world is as calm and calm as facing a young stranger.

When Saril Byrne stopped outside the gate of the abandoned temple, the eyes of the Yaling Overseers swept the scenery and suspicious places inside, her important task was to ensure the personal safety of Luo Zhengdao, no matter how it was, the Yaling Empire's large investment should not be wasted! In addition, Sariel did not have other duties, although she did not approve of Luo Zhengdao's risky actions, and it was inconvenient to make irresponsible remarks in front of everyone at this moment, and admonished Luo Zhengdao as tactfully as possible:

"Your Excellency, please be careful, anything that has to do with the gods will not be easy, please be on your guard."

Hearing the sound, he was born in the world of science where the gods could not be revealed, but he knew more about the power of the gods and beliefs, Luo Zhengdao deeply believed in the statement of the Yaling Overseer, no matter how much you love money, the premise is that you have to spare your life first, right? Immediately, Luo Zhengdao turned around and said to Captain Scarlet Yan:

"Brando, you arrange for two groups of people to search the temple."

Brando Scarlet tried his best to maintain a suave gentlemanly posture even when he was down, and the captain nodded, and he counted the heads and said:

"Hank! Lacido! Each of you picks a few good hands to come out and go around, and come back immediately to report what is happening, and you are not allowed to act without permission. ”

Seeing the two teams of sharp soldiers act separately, Luo Zhengdao and the main force had to rest outside the porch of the temple and wait for an echo, the scale of the building of this abandoned temple is not trivial, from the visual estimation of the appearance, it extends to the dense forest behind it is one or two kilometers away, in case there are a few underground floors or something, just searching this area is already a rather huge project, not to mention confirming whether there are any risk factors, now all they can do is wait patiently.
