"Click......

Jasmine walked up to the giant mouse, took a deep breath, her expression became a little solemn, and her right hand slowly stretched out.

A layer of dark black energy covered the five fingers, looking like five dangerous claw knives and sitting together.

"Poof!"

Jasmine's fingertips touched the giant rat corpse, and then stabbed inward with a sharp force.

As a result, a strong resistance came, and the whole hand only penetrated a few centimeters into the epidermis, and it was completely blocked, and it could not go any further.

This is obviously the giant rat's strong defense at work - the giant rat has only suffered a little skin trauma under the continuous attack of everyone, so you can imagine how strong the body is. Although he is now "brain dead" and his defense has decreased slightly, he is definitely not an existence that can be easily slaughtered.

After Jasmine saw it, her face changed slightly, she took out her right hand, chose a part and stabbed it hard, but found that nothing had changed - it was still blocked after a few centimeters deeper, and her eyes suddenly became gloomy.

The rest kept an eye on Jasmine's movements.

Jasmine couldn't help but turn her head and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come over and help!"

"Well, yes, yes. Jasmine's subordinates, just after waking up from a dream, approached the corpse of the giant mouse, and cooperated with Jasmine to cut the corpse of the giant rat with great effort.

Needless to say, this was a big undertaking - the giant rat was lying on the ground like a small mountain, and Jasmine and her men had to make a palm-sized wound on this "hill". After that, follow the wound and cast a spell to explore it to find the location of the energy furnace.

Head, neck, limbs, lower abdomen, thorax......

Exploration and elimination, reducing suspicious areas and locking down the specific range where the energy furnace is located.

And so time went by......

Richard looked bored, shook his head, and walked to the broken stone pillar dozens of meters away, observing what had fallen out of the stone pillar during the previous battle.

Sizhe noticed his movements, followed closer, and similarly observed what had fallen out of the stone pillar.

The two observed and exchanged views in a low voice, and after a while, they reached a consensus - these should be items in the ancient ruins that were deliberately left behind by some people, most of them were spell materials of unknown purpose, and a few were broken spell props.

Speaking of which, these things are not low in value, but because they are too old, they add a lot of uncertainty.

For example, spell materials give people a strong sense of energy, but they are completely unknown what they are used for and where they are used.

Spell items are a little better, and by their appearance, you can roughly guess whether they are attacking, defending, or other uses. However, more than ninety percent of them are damaged, and their performance is unstable, and if they don't get it right, they will become suicide artifacts.

Richard and Sizhe collected a piece of the scattered things around, and tried to break the rest of the stone pillars, and found that the stone pillars were hollow - but only a few of them contained things, and most of them were empty.

In the end, Richard and Sizhe collected dozens of items and piled them together.

Richard saw a scroll diagonally inserted in the pile, and reached out curiously, only to feel that it was cold to the touch, made of a very special material.

The scroll was slowly opened, and the entry was an unfamiliar text, which was very different from the current popular general text in the mainland, but there was a bit of similarity in the details, as if there was the same source.

"Original text?"

A thought crossed Richard's mind.

He has some knowledge of the original text: it belongs to a very ancient script, older than the ancient Siwen on the blood-colored seal, and it is a kind of circulating script of the legendary ancient wizard civilization.

At present, there are many people in the mainland who are studying, and the sorceress is one of them, but no one dares to say that he is proficient.

Fortunately, there are not many original texts on the scroll, and most of the content is complex graphics, like the blueprint of some kind of device.

"Blueprint?" Richard thought flashed, looking at the pile of items, then at the scroll in his hand, and looked around thoughtfully.

Surrounded by stone pillars, it is clearly a special area among the ancient ruins.

According to Jasmine, in the center of this area is the energy furnace, which is the heart of everything, and once it breaks in, the energy furnace will create an energy storm to attack.

Therefore, when the energy furnace is swallowed and taken away by rats, the area loses its original function.

It sounds a bit like ...... The power stations of the earth...... Richard blinked.

By analogy, the energy furnace is a generator set, and the stone pillars erected around it are considered transmission equipment, and once they enter by mistake, it is similar to touching a high-voltage line, and they will naturally be attacked.

This is a complete energy supply system.

In this case, the material inside the stone pillar ...... Could it be that it is used to repair this system? And the scroll you look at is the schematic diagram of this system, which is convenient for quickly finding the problem during maintenance?

Maybe it is, maybe it doesn't...... Richard pondered, his eyes narrowed...... In any case, the real situation here is more interesting than what appears on the surface.

Interesting.

Richard looked down and looked back at the contents of the scroll in his hand.

Because there are fewer words, more patterns, and his flexible thinking, he can see a general idea.

Then his eyes slowly narrowed into slits......

At this time, Jasmine next to her, with the help of a group of men, opened a palm-sized wound in the heart of the giant mouse.

Jasmine pressed her palm on the surface of the wound, injecting energy into the corpse to explore, and the next moment she suddenly shouted: "Found it!"

As soon as the words fell, the hand was raised, and the purple energy wrapped an object the size of a baby's fist into the palm of the hand.

It resembles a two-story round platform, and more specifically, a circular seal—which matches the concave shape of the stone platform's surface.

The object has a crystal-like texture throughout, with dozens of dark gold concave and convex lines on the outside and a milky white glow on the inside. It looks like a delicate and beautiful ornament, but for some reason, if you look at it for a long time, it will give people a feeling of extreme danger. It's as if there's a fierce beast hidden inside, and if you accidentally release it, it will destroy everything.

The "one-eyed" next to him looked at it, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Captain, this is the energy furnace, right?"

"Yes. Jasmine said in a snap, then turned to look at Hulk and said, "Box." ”

"Yes!"

Hulk approached preparedly, handing out a palm-sized cyan stone box and filling the energy furnace into it.

"Whew-"

After successfully loading, Jasmine and her party breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had completed a big event.

Then they thought of something, and they all turned their heads to look at Richard.

Richard also looked at Jasmine and the others with some notice.
