"There's still someone down there! But what do we do? There is an underground hall in it, which is a few hundred square meters! Except for some murals and sculptures, there is nothing to be done! Ali thought of the terrible resentment again, and gave up the idea of going any further.

Ruili gritted her teeth: "Actually! There should be a mechanism in the center of the hall that can open a door! But to touch the mechanism means that you have to face those resentments! ”

"So, I was going to let you deal with the grudge, and if you open the mechanism, it's none of your business."

Ali interjected angrily: "Who knows that I can't deal with those grievances at all!" ”

Ruili nodded helplessly.

At this time, the sky is getting dark, and a storm is coming.

Storms at sea take great care of isolated islands like Bartosha Island.

The weather here is completely unpredictable, and the sun can shine one second, and the next it will be rainy.

Ruili didn't want to let go of this opportunity and decided to look for another opportunity here. Ali Stokes and the five people of the Special Research Association didn't earn a penny, and Ali also lost an arm, although he could grow it soon when he was full, but after all, he suffered a big loss, so he went back in such a gray way, it was too shameless.

After all, they have already signed the V5 International Joint Organization mission book, so can they go back and report that they have failed?

And then the official presentation of the Hunters' Guild is like this:

"The Special Research Association currently has 6 members. They are all mind-to-minders. They were all former members of the Yin Beast Organization, established in November 2000, and in January 2001, they accepted a joint mission from V5 and the Hunter Association to explore the ruins, but they were not completed and automatically abandoned. ”

This kind of description, how will the special research meeting gain a foothold in the future, and the most feared thing is that if anyone happens to solve this relic in the future, it will be a slap in the face!

Ali also felt that he would stay and see the situation for the time being, as long as he didn't go down easily, there should be no problem.

The pouring rain poured down on the ruins, making the entire forest hazy.

Ali and the others took shelter from the rain in the tunnel at the entrance of the underground palace.

Ali looked at the ruins in front of him alone, and gradually saw that something was wrong.

Although the stones of these ruins have been soaked a lot, there are still many that have not been wet.

That's weird!

This kind of rainfall, not to mention stones, even people with umbrellas, will be drenched into soup, but some of these stones are not soaked yet.

Despite the heavy rain, Ali walked among the rubble and found a stone that had not been wet, which had been entwined with dense vines.

Ali took the head-sized stone in his hand, placed it in his arms, and then crouched down and, with his remaining left hand, tore open the vines that were wrapped around it. The vines withered after being torn off.

The withered vines were gradually soaked with rain and turned to ashes.

Frightened, Ali quickly threw down the stone and checked his left hand. Fortunately, there is nothing abnormal in the left hand.

Ali used the word "winding" and picked up a smooth stone again, which had been soaked by the rain and had almost no vines on it.

This situation is not just accidental, Ali again took a closer look. I found that all the stones that were wet by the rain were basically exposed, but some of the stones that were not wet were entangled with a lot of vines! Even a lot of the vines didn't get wet!

"What kind of stone is this? Rainwater can be insulated automatically! ”

Ali soaked the dried stones directly in the water and found that they were in a state of separation all around the stones!

For example, a one-meter-thick stone has a moisture vacuum of half a meter!

However, these stones, because they are entwined by vines, can only open a thin layer of vacuum around them.

"A stone that keeps out water, and a vine that lives on it?" Ali pondered carefully, but he didn't know what it was.

With these questions, Ali asked Ruili.

Ruili's eyes lit up: "Dapu Stone!" I've heard the legend of this stone! ”

"It is said that this is because of the favorite stone of the sea god's wife, and the sea god built the most beautiful palace with this stone for his wife, and later his wife ran away with the sun god."

"The god of the sea cursed his wife to death of thirst and never be able to drink water, and cursed this stone to never touch water!"

"What an infatuated sea god, an abominable water-based poplar woman!" Ruili said as if she had fallen into her own fantasy: "Kim! That's the perfect man...... Now I haven't remarried for my wife, Kim ~ ah ~ so handsome...... Kim ......"

Ari Stokes has a question mark on his face? Is there something wrong with this woman's brain? Storytelling is so good that you suddenly go crazy?

Ali coughed, "Hey! Wake up! You haven't made it clear yet! It's called a Dapu Stone thing! ”

Only then did Ruili come back to her senses: "Dapu Stone is also a legend!" This, that...... Anyway, it's a stone that won't get wet......"

Ali disdainfully: "Wasn't it very professional before? Oh? Can't explain? ”

Ruili grabbed the stone and hid back at the underground entrance to avoid the rain, and then said, "It's all said to be a legend!" It's also the first time I've seen this thing! When I saw it before, I thought it was an ordinary building material. ”

"Legend has it that Dapu Stone is the favorite of the Stone Devouring Vine, and the Stone Devouring Vine can also have the effect of draining and separating water after eating Dapu Stone."

Later, the sea god's cheating wife was dying of thirst and turned into a stone-eating vine. Devour all the stones. Especially Dapu stone. ”

Ali covered his head with one hand: "Big sister! That's why you're talking about legends! There is a bit of a basis, is there a reliable one? ”

Ruili was a little angry: "There is no emotion at all!" You deserve to be single for the rest of your life! ”

Ari Stokes said that this woman is so difficult to get along with! It's good that I broke an arm, isn't it good to think about it seriously! Is it time to recall mythological stories?

Ruili continued, "The Stone-Devouring Vine is often seen, and many ancient ruins have been destroyed because of this creature. ”

"Stone-eating vines are very damaging to stones and buildings, they live on stones, and the strength of the stones or buildings that are parasitic is greatly reduced, which can cause serious consequences. Therefore, in various countries, lithophage vine is listed as a first-class invasive species, alongside chimeric ants. ”

Aristox looked at the stones, at the vines.

Ali: "Why don't you see this vine in the underground palace?" Judging by the color of the stones, this is the kind of stone used here! ”

Ruili's pupils shrank, and then she came back to her senses: "Yes, there are no vines in the underground palace, let alone vines, not even a single plant!" ”

Ali also recalled what he had explored in the "circle", and there were indeed no living creatures!

Ali seemed to have grasped the key to something: "Ruili! I want to ask you, when you were attacked, did you trigger something, or did you walk in and do nothing? ”

Ruili thought for a moment: "I always thought that someone deliberately dragged his feet and took some sculptures. Those guys did take the sculpture as well, and then we were attacked. ”

Ali: "Is there another possibility, that is, as long as there is something alive entering, it will inevitably be attacked?" And whether it's an animal or a plant? ”
