Chapter 1196: Black Sand
While Richard was observing, the long-haired woman Jasmine and her party also walked out of the corridor.
Raising her eyes to look at the stone wall, Jasmine said: "This is the entrance to the ruins, we tried for a long time, and found that only one seal really couldn't be opened, so we had no choice but to ask you for cooperation." I hope what you said is true, and don't let this expedition fail before it even begins...... Otherwise, it would be an out-and-out joke. ”
"Don't worry, I don't want this to happen more than you do. Richard said.
"That's good, take out your seal, see those two small holes, just insert them separately, and I'll take care of the rest." Jasmine said.
"Good. Richard didn't hesitate, reached out and took out two seals, one red and one blue, walked near the stone wall, and inserted them into two small holes.
After insertion, I twisted the momentum, and I heard a "click", and the stone wall shook violently, and a crack appeared in the middle, which slowly opened like a huge stone door.
The gap grew little by little, but the speed was very slow, and it was expected that it would take dozens of minutes for the stone door to be fully opened.
"Buzz!"
"Click!"
Jasmine looked at it, her eyes blinked, her fingers pointed forward, the wounds that had healed on her fingertips ruptured, and drops of crimson viscous blood flew out and landed on the stone wall.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Inside the stone wall, there was an explosion-like sound, and a large number of stone chips fell off the surface of the stone wall.
With two "brushes", the two seals inserted into the stone wall popped out and were put away by Richard. Then the entire stone wall flashed blue-purple colored light, like a rusty iron door coated with oil, and the opening speed suddenly increased. In just over ten seconds, the stone gate opened completely, revealing an entrance about ten meters high and twelve meters wide.
Looking inside from the outside of the entrance, you can see that the interior is dark, like a haze that can obscure your eyes. The night vision generated by the use of spells is limited, and it is impossible to see too far, giving it a thick and mysterious feeling.
This is kind of familiar...... It's like going back to my hometown...... Richard looked at it, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Jasmine spoke up at this moment: "It seems that you do not belong to the ranks of liars - two seals can really open this ancient ruin." ”
"Of course. Richard chuckled, looked at Jasmine, and invited, "So, let's go in together and start exploring?"
"Don't worry!" Jasmine's gaze suddenly became serious, and she said in a deep voice, "Ancient ruins, unlike the rest of the place, are the 'wreckage' left behind by ancient wizarding civilizations. The 'wreckage' in front of us, although nominally dead, is still in danger because of the unimaginable power we possessed during our lifetime.
I can be sure that although you have the seal in your hand and know the key to unlocking the ruins, you don't know the details of the ruins. I'm different, I had a lot of information before I came here, and I had a good understanding of the ruins. Now, I may not be able to guarantee that I know the percentage of ruins, but at least I know how to do it safely and how to do it dangerously. ”
"So!" Jasmine took a deep breath and looked at Richard, half-commanding, half-dead, "I hope that next, in the process of exploring the ruins, you and I can follow the instructions and act with me and my companions to avoid any danger." After all, we are now in the same camp, and we need to share the responsibility of what danger we really cause. ”
"Obey your commands? Richard said in a loud voice, agreeing easily, not like there was any dissatisfaction.
In fact, he really didn't have any grievances.
In his opinion, exploring ancient ruins in the current world is similar to playing online games and playing dungeons on Earth - no matter what the process, as long as you can clear the level, you will reap the rewards.
In this case, he can choose to follow the command, paddle the water, touch the fish and pass easily, why do you have to work hard to study the strategy and work hard to clear the level? He is not the kind of person who knocks out his teeth and swallows it in his stomach for the sake of face and coolness.
Jasmine was slightly stunned when she heard this, and squinted her eyes and said, "I thought it was ...... You will refuse. ”
"I'm not as proud as you think, and if you do have enough information, I'll follow your instructions and it's naturally the safest way to explore - in fact, that's one of the reasons I'm working with you. However, then again, I hope your information is really accurate, and if your information keeps getting wrong after entering the ruins, then don't expect me to blindly trust you anymore. Richard said slowly.
"Don't worry, the accuracy of the information in my hands will definitely exceed your imagination. Jasmine listened and said a little proudly, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have so much confidence to explore here." Okay, without further ado, let's go inside. ”
"Good. ”
Richard nodded, and walked into the entrance with Jasmine.
......
Stepping into the mouth, a haze-like darkness rolled in and wrapped around everyone.
Richard turned on the night vision function of the dark vision to the extreme, and found that he could only see dozens of meters. Turning his head and glancing at Jasmine and the others, he found that the other party was vigilantly scanning the surroundings and moving forward cautiously, obviously in the same situation as him.
This ancient ruin is indeed not an ordinary place...... Richard thought to himself, and walked slowly with Jasmine, walked hundreds of meters, and saw a collapsed building appear in front of him.
The building collapsed completely, and the original building could not be seen at all, except for the foundation.
However, based on the scattered stones and broken stone pillars, Richard vaguely speculated about the style of these buildings: not surprisingly, it should be biased towards the more exquisite Baroque and Gothic styles, but there are also rough Roman styles mixed in, and it seems that the culture of the ancient wizarding civilization is relatively tolerant and open......
Thinking like this, Jasmine, who was walking on the right hand, suddenly reminded in a low voice, and pointed forward: "Be careful of those black sands. ”
"Huh?" Richard looked in the direction Jasmine was pointing and saw a large area of dark black sand on a collapsed building more than thirty meters away, the color was deeper than the darkness, like a black hole. After looking at it for a long time, it seems to be able to suck people's souls away.
"What's that?" asked Richard.
"You can simply call it black poisonous sand, they have a very strong poison, once they get close to a certain distance, they will cause serious damage to the flesh without contact, and they can't be eliminated with spells, so the farther away from him, the better. Jasmine said solemnly, giving advice, "Now let's go around it from the left and move on." If something similar happens on the road for a while, be sure to stay out of the way and don't approach. Otherwise, if there are any bad consequences, don't blame me for not reminding me. ”
"Is that so......" Richard didn't say anything after hearing this, and followed Jasmine around the black sand and sand and walked forward, silently thinking in his heart: When he leaves after exploring the ruins, he must collect a little when he has the opportunity, and go back to study what the ingredients are, after all, it is rare to see materials with such a unique effect......
