"Pretty much in this place, right?"
At the same moment, on the edge of the seashore of the Wind Continent in the early morning of March 5, 796 New Calendar, several small teams of players and clan members also appeared within the range of the ruins under the influence of the Wind Stone's power, and walked into the center of the storm with the help of the Wind Barrier: "The place where you fought last before. β
"Yes, this is this place, and while the possibility of change is still there, butβhmm, Surtu, you don't believe us, do you?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but the storm in front of me is a little too violent."
Having struggled to break through the resistance exerted on the windproof barrier on the surface of his body, the burly man known as Surtu also set his gaze on the surface of the ruins in front of him at this time: "How did you, who don't have the Wind Stone, come back alive in such a powerful storm to deliver a signal for help?" β
"Well...... Who says we don't have Wind Stones? The sudden question then made the rising sun in front of him stunned, and the eyes of the torch were then filled with the feeling of slapping a swollen face and becoming fat: "Look at these same enchantment effects around us!" We've bought some stock in the Sioux settlement! If it weren't for the people in your tribe who were so slammed, we might have more stones in stock! β
"I remember, there is such a thing."
Shaking his head, the man named Surtu then put away his embarrassed expression: "But even so, the results of your previous actions are very suspicious - what about the rest of your team?" β
"So what do you think we ran back to ask for help, at least two people are missing on our side!" Before the patriarch of the Nasu tribe could get an answer from the direction he was turning, Asahi Dongsheng said again with an excited expression, "We don't want to give up our teammates for nothing!" We need help! β
"Of course I understand your current situation, huh...... Missing are your captain Xue Lingphantas, the white-haired female warrior, and the gray-robed man, the guy who broke the water in the abyss, right? β
Simply repeating the names of the characters he knew, Surtu's gaze began to become less clear under the wind: "According to your previous description, you accidentally triggered some mechanism or broke some rules when you were exploring the ruins, so you were swept away by the sudden storm and scattered, right?" β
"Yes, that's right." Nodding in response to Surtu's concluding question, Gedmayne, who was on the other side of the line, then lowered the large shield he had been raising: "We got separated when we fought the storm later, and there were some battles at that time, so we ......"
"So that's the crux of the matter."
Interrupting the statement of the player next to him, Surtu suddenly turned his body: "You said that a battle broke out between you? Who is fighting with whom? Who is the enemy? β
"Well, to be precise, we didn't develop the enemy's whereabouts." Gedmayne's voice hesitated in reply: "As for the battle, that's just a close description, we haven't directly fought any enemy......"
"Your descriptions are garbled and untrustworthy." Shaking his head, Surtu's gaze fell on Gedmayne: "If it weren't for the fact that I trusted your team even more, and trusted those of you who fought side by side with me, I wouldn't have defied the dissuasion of my people and braved the storm to come to this place. β
"This, this, but the factsβ"
"Okay, then let's ask questions from another angle."
Looking at the other party's appearance without knowing what to do, Surtu sighed and then said in a low voice: "Answer my question: Did you destroy the ruins?" β
"I don't know if this counts, but the barrier that surrounds this ruin was indeed destroyed by our team." Gedman's reply became more and more uncertain: "It is also a fact that the wind tunnel spreads and the wind increases and eventually turns into a storm......
"My people are still struggling in this storm." Frowning at himself, Surtu turned back and whispered in the direction where the men had come, "If you have brought this inexplicable disaster to them, I must take responsibility for them. β
"No, no, no, this is definitely not some inexplicable disaster, this is a premeditated conspiracy!" Gedmane hurriedly retorted, "Think about it, if we hadn't triggered this trap by us who you sent to explore the ruins first, wouldn't the losses in the tribe be even greater?" β
"As a result of the rumors about the Wind Ruins, my clan and I have been prepared for a long time."
Shaking his head to interrupt the other party's words, Surtu then turned around again: "We also guessed that the enemy might take advantage of this opportunity to ambush nearby, but we didn't expect to encounter the dilemma of not being able to move forward like now." β
"If you've accidentally broken something that caused this storm, you'd better find a way to fix it." He looked at the wind in front of him that did not want to stop in the slightest, and his tone gradually became calmer: "Otherwise, the people of the Sioux tribe may not be trapped here, but a more serious survival problem." β
"Of course we know this, and our goals are in line with your goals." Gedmane replied solemnly, "Of course, it would be better if Your Excellency could help us find the missing people in our team in this processβ"
"Forget it, forget it, don't say it again." The casual voice then interrupted the shield warrior's words, and at the same time, the random figure belonging to the rising sun appeared on the other side of the storm: "Since this uncle has made his difficulties clear, why are we persecuting others so much?" β
"The rising sun? You-"
"I've said from the beginning that this call for help is likely to be fruitless, so you'll want to give it a try."
The anxious and excited expression at the beginning had completely disappeared at this time, and the rising sun Dongsheng, who stood up under the protection of the windproof barrier, waved his hand slowly at the other two figures in front of him: "If you want to try, let you try, of course I won't stop you, but I thought you were mentally prepared to fail, since everyone has already expressed their refusal so obviously, aren't we so stubborn?" β
"I'm XO, can you say a few words? Didn't you see that people were about to nod and agree, you big head! β
"Immediately? Why didn't I see it? In the final analysis, we are different from Linyuan who is cut off from the water, and our reputation and the value of being able to brush our faces are still too low. β
"So what do you say? Is it up to the two of us to go in and find it? Isn't this about finding the Year of the Monkey? β
"It's not impossible to rely on the two of us to find it, but what we're looking for isn't necessarily a person."
Interrupting Gedmayne's words with a wave of his hand, Asahi replied in a low voice as if ignoring Surtu, "What we are going to find is the treasure of this ruin." β
"Treasure? What treasure? β
"Of course it's a treasure that can be protected by a storm of this magnitude."
Shouldering the big sword in his hand, Asahi Dongsheng turned around and took the lead in walking towards the depths of the storm in front of him: "Placing such a big battle here must be prepared to protect the treasure hidden in the deepest part of this ruin, and the bigger the battle in front of us now, the larger the scale of the secrets and treasures hidden behind it." β
"As a qualified adventurer, I have no intention of sharing this treasure with anyone else." He waved his hand behind him, and a strange smile appeared on the side face that was exposed: "If there is some inheritance of the Wind God hidden here, or something like the guidance of the Heavenly Messenger, then it can really only be swallowed alone." β
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hurriedly stopped the other party's body that was about to leave, and Gedmayne's heavy steps then stopped in front of the one-armed warrior: "It's not that we haven't seen that ruin, what else is there in it besides the ruins?" Not to mention that our people haven't been found yet, if anything goes wrong with themβ"
"How is that possible? They are the uncrowned kings who have created countless miracles, and the dark witches who shocked the three realms of the continent. With a sneer, Asahi Dongsheng waved his hand casually: "Even if a few of us die, they won't die, they may have reached the deepest part of this storm by this time, and they are sitting directly above the treasure waiting to laugh at us." β
"Wait a minute."
Stretching out his hand to stop the two of them from arguing next, Surtu, who was standing at the back, said solemnly: "The guidance of the messenger of heaven? Is there really such an existence? β
"How do I know, I'll just say it." Blinking his eyes at Gedmayne beside him, Asahi replied nonchalantly, "Patriarch don't have to believe us, we'll disappear with them soon." β
"The Wind Ruins have been here for a long time, and if there really is any guidance from the Divine Mountain, at least the people of the Ke clan should find out something." Ignoring the other party's half-truth-like attitude, Surtu's brows also furrowed tightly at this time: "But what if...... In case of...... Tut. β
"Well, at least take me with you." His expression hesitated for a long time, but finally he took his first step forward: "I can't let my people take risks, but if it's just me......"
Bang!
A heavy tremor then appeared at everyone's feet, driving several people to stand unsteadily and blow towards the outer perimeter of the storm in the distance, and a huge and thick pillar of emerald green light then suddenly bloomed in the depths of the storm in front of everyone, faintly bursting out through the broken ground to the sky high in the sky.
****************************************
"Oh, the whirlwind technique really works."
Time came to the depths of the cave below the storm, and Duan Qing, who was surrounded by countless stone pillars, raised his head in surprise: "This stone pillar has really been activated. β
"The wind elemental energy that originally filled the area around here was strong enough, especially after those strange devices and magic circuits were activated." Fura, who was behind him, shook her head when she heard the sound: "I thought that this level was enough to meet the conditions, but I didn't expect that it would still require manual operation." β
"Well, maybe this thing has a test that needs to be manipulated by unnatural magic." After dealing with this topic with a dry smile, Duan Qing, who was scratching his head, then continued with a calm face: "Thank you for the tip, Fula. β
"No thanks, I'm part of the team now." Fura replied in a calm voice, "And that's all I can do now." β
"That's right, we're still companions." Smiling and grinning at his mouth, Duan Qing then also put on a reassuring smile at the blonde-haired dragon lady: "You can go and rest in peace, Fella, and leave the rest to us." β
"There's not much technical stuff left anyway, right?" He sighed secretly in his heart, but the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice on the side then squinted his eyes: "Since all the stone pillars have been activated, what are we waiting for here?" β
"Are they all the stone pillars? Let me check again. After looking around for a while, the man named Duan Qing then also smiled and put back his joking posture: "Okay, okay, let's not check, let's start directly." β
"The location should be the center where the stone pillars converged just now."
As he said this, the figure that had passed through the gap in the middle of the countless stone pillars finally came to the deepest part of the cave, and the area that had been shrouded in a large amount of deflected mist was now much brighter because of the convergence of the same white light, and the scene of countless small needle-like stone pillars arranged in it surrounding each other was displayed in front of their eyes: "At first glance, it is the most central position, and even the appearance is obviously different. β
"Isn't this still a stone pillar? What's the difference? β
"This isn't a simple stone pillar, it's supposed to be a control hub." Shaking his head, Duan Qing, who was holding his chin, then also looked at the center of this needle-like stone pillar with a serious face: "The reason why it didn't start is mainly because the age is too long, and the damage is serious, plus the arrangement is disrupted." β
"I know what you're trying to ask, you want to know what the correct arrangement is, right?" He interrupted what Xue Lingphantom Ice was about to say, and at the same time pointed to the small stone pillars of different heights surrounding the center point, and whispered confidently, "Look at it." β
"The correct arrangement must be this!"
He let out a loud shout, and the arm surrounding the emerald green energy suddenly stretched out forward, and the needle-shaped stone pillars that were originally arranged and distributed irregularly then emitted a bright light under the influence of this wind elemental energy, and finally gathered into a pillar of light that rushed to the sky and poured out towards the top of the cave that could not be seen.
