Richard and Jasmine looked at each other.

Two eyes against three eyes.

There is a loss in terms of quantity, but there is no difference in momentum.

It seems that they all want the other party to explain the situation first.

Richard looked at Jasmine's appearance and couldn't help but wonder: Didn't he say that he would solve it before, why did the other party suddenly order his subordinates to take action together?

If you bring the current exploration of ancient ruins to the online game on Earth to play a copy, this is a naked monster robbery, right?

But the problem is that the other party doesn't seem to have this kind of awareness, and the eyes that come over him seem to be the one who robs the blame.

This one......

After a few seconds, Richard decided not to remain silent, after all, time is precious, and it is better to ask.

Open your mouth, and you have to make a sound.

At this time, Jasmine spoke first and asked, "What did you just do?"

"Well, what did you do? What do you think I did?" Richard spread his hands, "Isn't it to solve the trouble? Isn't this saying that you can solve the sandworms you encountered before, and if you encounter a new problem this time, it will be my turn to solve it." ”

"But...... I'm talking about the trouble, it's the bugs that started to appear, not the big guy you're killing right now. ”

"There's not much difference. Richard said, "Yes, now this one is a little bigger and stronger, but ...... It's essentially the same. So, I've solved it, can't it, there's no need to distinguish so clearly, right?"

Jasmine: "......"

After listening to the words, he fell silent, and his mood was a little complicated.

Richard said that there was not much difference between a giant locust and a swarm of demonized cockroaches, and she didn't think so at all—in her opinion, the difference was great, and the difference in strength was more than several times greater.

Originally, according to her idea, the creature of the demonic cockroach swarm was a little less threatening, but the vitality was tenacious and difficult to kill, so it was just a good time to test Richard's strength.

If Richard's performance is poor, it can prove that Richard has a good idea, and she can take the opportunity to fight for some benefits.

If Richard's performance is bright, it's nothing, because she said before that this demonized cockroach is weaker than the previous sandworm. No matter how good Richard is, he is only excellent at the lower level, and he will not threaten her and her teammates, and the performance of the previous one level higher. Therefore, Richard could not work the other way around and fight for the interests that belonged to her side.

Perfectly planned!

But the plan was good, and I never expected that the plan was not as fast as the change.

The expected group of demonized cockroaches only appeared for a few seconds, showed their faces, and then withdrew. The new character, the giant locust, has taken the performance position that belonged to the demonized cockroach.

The strength of the giant locust is too much to beat the demonized cockroach, and it can be seen from her previous reaction - she has no way to kill it easily, and she is ready to be injured or even sacrificed in the battle.

Who knows, Richard raised his hand and attacked something he didn't know, and directly dealt with the giant locust, without even having a chance to make the other party struggle.

This...... It's a bit surprising.

Of course, that's nothing. She can take Richard's attack as a killer weapon. She also has similar methods, and the effect is not necessarily bad.

It's just that the key is that Richard's behavior successfully suppressed the limelight of her and her teammates, and invisibly increased the difficulty for her to fight for more benefit distribution.

To put it simply, although their group is not weak, Richard is stronger, and may even be stronger than the eight of them plus one, so what qualifications do they have to claim more benefits?

Damn it......

If it weren't clear, Richard was really entering the ruins for the first time, and she really suspected that the giant locust was Richard's own pet, and it was put here in advance to cooperate with Richard in acting.

"Whew-"

Jasmine took a deep breath, knowing that there was no possibility of reversing this matter, adjusting her mentality, no longer entangled, and preparing to find an opportunity to try to fight for benefits again in the future.

After deciding, he turned his head to look at Richard and said, "Okay, let's not talk about irrelevant things." Now that the big guy has been solved, let's hurry up and continue to explore. According to my information, this is still a short distance from the center of the ruins. ”

"Good. Richard nodded, did not refuse, and followed Jasmine forward.

......

This time the journey forward is particularly long.

There were several stops to confirm the direction along the way, and on one occasion he even walked thousands of meters and encountered an inexplicable moth attack, and after a difficult eradication, he found that the route was wrong, and had to retreat to the previous location and recorrect the route.

In this way, the group stopped and walked, and finally walked out of the continuous ruins of the building and appeared on a flat ground.

Here, the darkness around me faded a little, and as far as the eye could see, there was a dense dark green grass growing on the vast land in front of it, like a prairie.

A few dozen meters away from the edge of the grassland, Jasmine slowed down and stopped, turned her head to look at Richard, and pointed forward: "Continue to move forward for a distance, even if you get out of the edge of this ancient ruin and enter the core area." ”

So why not move on...... Richard blinked, looked at Jasmine and asked, "The core area is dangerous?"

"It's dangerous, it's not dangerous. Jasmine said, "Compared with the edge area, I have very little information about the core area, but as long as I don't break into it and follow the plan, there won't be any chaos in the exploration." ”

"Then ......" Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing very well that Jasmine definitely had something to say.

"The real trouble is the grass up ahead. Sure enough, Jasmine continued, her expression a little solemn, "This meadow stretches for more than a mile towards the core area, and it is completely impossible to bypass it, because the core area is surrounded by them. Don't want to fly over the past, according to intelligence, doing so will be hit from the core. So, the only way to do that was to walk through the grass from the ground, just as you had through the mushroom fields. ”

"Any questions?" asked Richard.

"There's a problem. Jasmine said solemnly, "There is a serious problem. The grass grows in the ordinary sense, and the intelligence indicates that it is a vine disguised as grass, called the Devil's Devouring Vine, which belongs to the special demonized creatures used by the ancient wizard civilization to defend the residence. Under normal circumstances, they behave normally, no different from normal grass. But as soon as it senses that there is energy approaching, it will become active, and the stronger the energy, the more active it will be.

To put it simply, this is a plant that is specifically aimed at wizards, and the stronger the wizard, the more targeted they are. If you are an ordinary person, you can walk through it without any influence. But beings like us are under attack in a frenzy.

The most tricky thing is that in the face of the attack, we can't cast a spell to resist, because once the cast produces mana fluctuations, it will cause a larger range of Devil Devouring Vines to counterattack. Imagine that the Devil Devouring Vine in the entire area has skyrocketed tens or hundreds of meters, attacking you together, which no defense can stop. ”

Richard listened, and seriously imagined what Jasmine said, and found that it was indeed a little scary. However, he didn't panic, he knew very well that since Jasmine could come to the ruins, there must be a corresponding way. He pursed his lips lightly, looked at the other party and asked, "Then how can I pass safely?"

"It's very simple. Jasmine said, "As I said before, these devouring vines are sensitive to energy, and the more powerful the wizard, the more targeted they are. Therefore, if we find a way to reduce or hide the amount of mana in the mana source, we will be successful.

The most advisable way is to cast spells frantically outside the scope of the Devouring Vine, drain your mana, and reach the level below that of a formal wizard. Of course, considering that in the core area, there will be many unexpected problems, which will drain your mana, which is too dangerous. Therefore, another method is to use a unique spell to shield the source of the law. ”

Speaking of this, Jasmine paused, looked at Richard and said, "I don't know if you have mastered this method, but I have mastered it." If you want, I can help you and us get through the area safely. ”

As she spoke, Jasmine smiled, looking very sincere.

And indeed sincerely.

In Jasmine's opinion, the Devouring Vine is simply a nemesis for a "master" like Richard. The more powerful, the more restrained, and this is also the characteristic of ancient ruins - strength does not determine everything, and it is important to have enough intelligence.

In the face of the blockade of the Devouring Vine, if it weren't for the unpopular spells she had collected in advance, it would have been almost a dead knot.

And that's what makes it rare...... A good opportunity to fight for benefits.

She had failed the giant locust before, and she didn't believe it could fail this time.

Jasmine looked at Richard with a smile, and then suddenly saw Richard smile at her as well, looking more sincere.

This......

Jasmine was suddenly stunned.
