After more than twenty minutes.

Richard, who had been waiting for a long time at the edge of the meadow, finally waited for Jasmine and the others to come out of the meadow.

It can be seen that Jasmine and her party look a little embarrassed, their clothes are damaged to varying degrees, and there are some purple-red scars on the exposed skin, as if they have been whipped by a whip. The worst of them all was Hulk, whose clothes were tattered like a beggar, his left shoulder was swollen several centimeters high, and his neck was a little crooked.

However, this is clearly not the worst of the worst.

The first thing Jasmine did after walking out of the grass was to round her arm and slap Hulk.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Hulk's right cheek suddenly had an extra slap print, and his five fingers were distinct.

After the rest of the people saw it, they didn't feel pity for Hulk at all, on the contrary, they felt incomprehensible.

Su and Xizhe were more restrained, just glaring at Hulk. And "One-Eyed", "Camel", and "Wood" directly and unceremoniously kicked on the Hulk. In particular, "Ice Cube" shivered and kicked Hulk continuously, not knowing whether it was frozen or angry.

Hulk's performance at this time is like a schoolboy who didn't do his homework on the earth, and he was caught by a teacher. The expression on his face was full of guilt, he bowed his head deeply, covered his face with a slap print, and let him beat and kick without saying a word.

Seeing this, Richard immediately guessed that Jasmine and his party should have made a lot of mistakes in the process of crossing the grass, and the culprit of the mistakes was definitely Hulk.

It is completely conceivable that after Hulk made many mistakes, Jasmine and his party were attacked by the devil devouring vine, and they obviously had strong strength but did not dare to make a move - they could only let the devil devour vine play, and finally wait for the devil devouring vine to slowly calm down, which was definitely as aggrieved as possible.

I was aggrieved to the extreme, and I endured all the way out of the area of the devil's devouring vine, and naturally I was venting.

After thinking about this, the corners of Richard's mouth twitched slightly. Very understanding, he didn't ask Jasmine out loud about the details of the meadow, and stretched out his hand to point not far ahead: "There, that's the core area of this ruin, right?"

Looking in the direction Richard pointed, he saw a huge crater with no edge in sight.

The crater was like a dry lake, and like a basin, the edge of which was as steep as a cliff, at an angle of nearly seventy degrees, and a hundred meters vertically downward, and the ground could not be seen, as if it had no bottom.

Jasmine looked at it and nodded in response: "Yes, that's the core area of the ruins." Okay, it's been a long time, don't waste it anymore, follow me and get in. ”

After speaking, Jasmine took the lead and left.

"Good. ”

Richard stepped along.

Jasmine moved quickly, but instead of falling from the nearest place to the bottom of the crater, she continued to move to the right along the edge of the crater, and after walking a few hundred meters, she came to a stop on a deep black ground.

After looking around, as if confirming something, he nodded and said, "Well, this is it, and it is safest to enter the core of the ruins from here." ”

After saying that, Jasmine gently stepped on the inner wall of the huge pit, like a weightless feather, and quickly fell downward.

A group of people, including Richard, followed.

In the process of following, the inner wall of the pit descended to a height of nearly 200 meters, which was almost equivalent to falling from the top of the 70-story building to the underground garage, and finally touched the ground.

The moment he touched the ground, Richard's eyes flashed, and he found that the ground was a little warm, like stepping on charcoal that had not been completely extinguished.

A warm core?

This ancient ruins are indeed a bit mysterious.

Richard's mind was spinning, and then he noticed that the ruins of the buildings that had disappeared before reappeared around them.

Compared with the building ruins on the surface outside the pit, the building ruins at the bottom of the pit look more complete, not completely collapsed, and some columns, low walls, stone gates and other parts are preserved.

But when you look at it, you can see that these parts of the building are very simple - so simple that there are no patterns, depressions, bumps and curves, and they are completely boxy and monolithic. This reminded him of the buildings of the Order of Truth that he had seen in Pompey – equally simple and boxy, like coffins.

Is it a coincidence?

Richard pondered, as he and Jasmine walked deeper into the ruins of the building.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, we arrived in front of a strange complex.

The main body of the building complex is a stone pillar with a diameter of more than five meters and a height of more than 30 meters, the top is slightly pointed, and it is as majestic as a mountain peak.

There are more than 100 similar stone pillars, scattered on the vast stone ground with a radius of nearly a kilometer, and the overall appearance is a bit like an altar full of candles, which strengthens the original mystery in the core area of the ruins.

After walking here, Jasmine was noticeably cautious, and her speed slowed down again and again, and when she approached the interior and the center, she stopped completely, and looked straight ahead with her eyes carefully.

When Richard looked around, he saw that eight stone pillars in front of him circled a space with a radius of several tens of meters. The eight pillars look slightly different from the rest, with dense patterns carved on the surface that run from the top to the bottom, then to the ground, and finally to a point in the middle of the ground.

At the location of that point, there is a stone platform more than one meter high, and the top of the stone platform seems to be holding something, but it is shrouded in black gas, and it is difficult to see the specifics.

But it's clear that no matter what you put in it, it's not easy.

"Whew-"

Jasmine stood more than twenty meters away from the "Eight Stone Pillar Space", took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Richard, and said loudly: "You have to get ready, next, what you have to face is probably the most dangerous part of this expedition." ”

"The most dangerous part?" Richard asked, raising an eyebrow, "what will happen?"

"According to the information, once I get close to a certain range, all the stone pillars here will be activated, and then the entire area will be covered in a terrifying energy storm. And the closer you get to the center of the energy storm, the more terrifying the power becomes. At that time, everyone must cooperate with each other and use spells to defend in order to survive.

If you can't hold on, unless you retreat to the edge with extreme speed, you will definitely be hit, torn apart, and even shattered by the energy storm, and you won't even be able to leave a corpse. ”

"So serious?" said Richard's expression became serious.

"Of course, I'm not joking about this kind of big thing. Jasmine said, took another breath, and asked aloud, "Our people are ready, and we are waiting for you now." So how are you going?"

Richard turned his head and found that Jasmine's men were all approaching, and strong mana fluctuations surged in their bodies, looking like they would release spells at any time.

pursed his lips, Richard was not verbose, since he had come here, there was naturally no reason to retreat. As soon as the thought moved, a large number of free energy elements in the magic source in the body poured out, the surface of the body was wrapped in golden energy, the "Yijia" state was opened, and he was ready to release more defensive spells at any time, nodded and responded: "I can." ”

"Alright, let's get started!"

Jasmine said, the words fell, and took a step forward.

"Click!

One step, two steps, three steps.

Jasmine's steps were slow, steady, and heavy.

At the moment when the third step fell, as if sensing something, he quickly said, "Be careful!"

Then the command was issued: "Defend against the energy storm!"

"Brush, brush!"

The moment he heard Jasmine's order, a whole team of people, including Jasmine, quickly flashed orange light on their bodies, enveloping their entire bodies. After that, the rays of light connected to each other to form an almost integrated defensive shield, clearly well prepared.

But......

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

The group waited for three seconds while maintaining their defensive spells, only to find that there was silence around them, and nothing had changed.

This......

The group couldn't help but be stunned, you look at me, I look at you, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

......
