Carrying oil lamps, Qin Ran and the four of them walked towards the former inner city of the ancient city of Yisu.

They did this more than once in a week.

In addition to wanting to find out the whereabouts of that 'weapon' as soon as possible, it was for the sake of today's situation that they didn't want any 'abnormal behavior' to arouse the suspicion of the peeping night monsters.

To put it simply, the inertia of thinking is used to paralyze the night monsters.

This is far more effective than you think.

At least, he didn't notice that the Night Monster was coming up.

Or...... Those night monsters were out of his perceptual range.

For the perception of the night monster, Qin Ran really remembered it vividly.

Maybe not every night monster can reach such a level, but it only takes a part of the elite to reach such a level, which is enough to be shocking.

Not to mention, the leader of the elite.

As long as he thought about it, Qin Ran was frowning.

Therefore, Qin Ran, who was following Herbert, became more and more cautious.

Herbert stopped and stopped all the way, checking his notes from time to time.

When Herbert finally stopped, they were in a pit underground.

Qin Ran is no stranger to this.

On the third day of their visit to the ancient city of Aesop, he and Herbert had been here.

According to Herbert, it was supposed to be a knight's residence.

Moreover, he also introduced the composition of this knight's residence to Qin Ran in detail.

Especially the martial arts arena in it, Qin Ran still remembers it vividly.

After all, compared to the halls and corridors of other nobles, the appearance of this martial arts arena is too unique, coupled with the narrow surrounding bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms, etc., it is difficult for Qin Ran not to remember.

At this moment, Herbert stood on the martial arts arena, groping carefully.

A few minutes later-

Bang!

There was a thunderous sound.

On the fairly wide martial arts arena, a boxy is enough for two people to pass side by side, and the downward hole appears.

"Let's go!"

Qin Ran immediately said in a low voice.

He didn't lament that the secret door could still be used after 1,500 years, nor did he confirm whether there was a mysterious power mixed with it.

Because, he already heard a sound in his ears.

It was the sound of the placket of the wind blowing in the wind when you were running.

Moreover, more than one person!

It was a movement that could only be caused by the simultaneous action of hundreds of people.

Herbert, Peel, and the big guy immediately burrowed into the hole.

Along the way, Qin Ran's performance has already won their trust.

Qin Ran walked last.

In his hands were ignited explosives.

Qin Ran wanted to blow up the entrance.

Blowing up an entrance without determining whether there is another exit is undoubtedly a great risk.

But compared to the night monsters that followed, such a risk is really not worth mentioning.

There is no road, and with the explosives in your hands, you can also open a way.

You can face the night monsters whose goals are about to be achieved.

They really don't die.

Rumble!

Smoke and dust were filling.

The entrance, which had just opened, began to collapse.

Large chunks of rock fell overhead, blocking not only the entrance, but also down the stairs in front of you.

"2567, block those stones!"

Herbert's voice came.

Although he didn't know why Herbert did this, his trust in the old scholar made him change his original idea of dodging and running, and pulled out the [infantry spear] behind his back to point or smash, point at the smaller stones, and smash the larger ones.

Expert-level [Cold Weapon. Poleguns] It is not difficult to do this.

The only thing to consider is the bigger stones.

When a stone the size of a millstone fell, Qin Ran had to retreat completely.

However, it's not just a step back.

The [Infantry Spear] in his hand continued to stab out.

Boom!

The tip of the spear collided with the rock.

Every time it's a spark splash.

And each time the force transmitted from the [Infantry Lance] slowed down the speed of the stone rolling down a little.

When Qin Ran withdrew from the corridor, the grinding disc-sized stone had already stopped.

"Well done!"

Peel, carrying more explosives on his back, ran over and spread them all over the hallway as he spoke.

"I'm going to show those damn monsters that it's not enough to have sharp teeth!"

Peel stared at the collapsed entrance through the millstone, kerosene lamp held high in his hand.

Qin Ran believed that once the stones at the entrance were removed, it would be the time when the kerosene lamp in Peel's hand fell.

And he didn't mind making the explosion a little more thorough.

Taking out more explosives from the backpack behind the big guy, Qin Ran began to set up in the hall in front of him while looking around.

It's a small hall.

Except for a stone tablet in the middle that was more than two people tall and engraved with the characters of the Nick Dynasty, only a stone statue of human height was left in the distance.

The moment you see the stele, a prompt appears when the system completes the side quest.

[Side Quest: Find the Lost!] (Complete)】

[Find the Lost Thing, Aesop Ancient City Exploration +3%]

[Main Quest: Explore at least 20% of Aesop's Ancient City in four weeks, with a completion rate of 18%]

The surge in exploration after finding the 'Lost Thing' was expected by Qin Ran.

Compared with before, eating other people's 'leftovers', this time I drank the soup by myself, and naturally I will have a different degree of exploration.

It's just that the degree of exploration is complete, but it is less than Qin Ran imagined.

"This is the 'weapon'?"

"Or how to make a 'weapon'?"

"The missing part of the exploration, is it to interpret the stele?"

Qin Ran guessed, his gaze slightly shifted to the statue in the distance.

It was a stone statue of a man standing with his hands behind his back.

The carvings of the stone statues are not too much ornamentation, and there are neither swords and armor representing martial arts, nor books representing wisdom.

But this does not mean that the stone statues are crudely carved.

In fact, the stone statue in front of him is extremely detailed, and the other party's facial features are all lifelike.

Therefore, Qin Ran could clearly distinguish that this was a standard Oriental appearance.

"Orientals?"

In the copy world in front of him, this was the first time Qin Ran had seen an Oriental person.

Although it was only a stone statue, it was enough for Qin Ran, who was already observing carefully, to take a closer look.

However, apart from the rare oriental appearance and meticulous carving, there is nothing special about the statue in front of you.

After confirming again, Qin Ran turned to look at the stone tablet where Herbert was.

But the moment he turned around, Qin Ran was stunned.

"Huh!"

"The Statue's Gaze ......"

Qin Ran turned back and carefully looked at the statue's eyes, and then, walking side by side with the statue, followed the statue's gaze towards the ceiling in the distance.

There is a large area of characters and drawings that seem to ordinary people to be irregular.

However, in Qin Ran's eyes, there are traces to follow.

A secret text written in [Mysterious Knowledge]!

"His Majesty's ambition has made him more and more furious, and the day of the Sage's prophecy is coming......

"Dead bodies were piled up all over the royal capital, and the river was completely dyed red......"

"Disaster is coming!"

"We have destroyed ourselves!"

"The fire of iniquity has burned all over the earth!"

"I have left only my pathetic ...... of learning"

[Explore the Ancient City Secret Text on your own, Aesop's Ancient City Exploration +1.5%]

[Main Quest: Explore at least 20% of Aesop Ancient City in four weeks, 19.5% completion]

Qin Ran read these secret texts, although most of them were unrecognizable, and the few that were identified were also intermittent.

However, this did not prevent the growth of exploration completion, as well as Qin Ran's memory.

Because of the low level of [Mysterious Knowledge], Qin Ran had long been accustomed to memorizing some of the mysterious knowledge he had seen but could not understand in his mind.

This is not an easy task.

Especially at the beginning, Qin Ran suffered from dizziness.

But with the increase in the number of times, Qin Ran gradually mastered some tricks of shorthand and mysterious knowledge.

Although it was impossible to memorize everything in his heart at a glance, when Herbert in the distance finished transcribing the contents on the stone tablet, Qin Ran also remembered almost it.

At the same time, the kerosene lamp that Peel had been holding up was also smashed down.

Boom, boom!

Entering the underground hallway, it collapsed again.

"Hurry up!"

"We'll have to find another way!"

"Those guys dig faster than we thought!"

Peel shouted at Herbert.

Among the people present, Herbert was undoubtedly the one who was most familiar with the ruins in front of him, and he naturally listened to the other party from where to blow up an exit.

But in the face of Peel's shout, Herbert turned a deaf ear, and the whole person looked at the contents of the transcribed stele in a daze, and kept muttering in his mouth, as if he was enchanted.

"Wrong! Wrong! ”

"We were wrong in the first place!"

Such a voice made Qin Ran and Peel, who approached, stunned.

"Herbert, what's wrong?"

Peel reached out and patted Herbert on the shoulder.

The old scholar was awakened as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then, in a very fast voice, he said, "Quick! Blow up the stele! ”

Peel became more and more puzzled in his heart, but the speed was not slow.

Soon, several bundles of explosives were tied to the stele.

Then, the lead was ignited.

Woohoo!

A large swath of Mars came out, and Herbert stared at the lead, with a nervous look on his face that Qin Ran had never seen before.

Rumble!

When the stele was shattered, Herbert let out a sigh.

Then, without waiting for Qin Ran and Peel to ask, he lit the previously copied inscription with a kerosene lamp in his hand.

This move made Qin Ran and Peel more and more puzzled.

"We were all wrong!"

"There's no 'weapon' here!"

"From beginning to end, that 'weapon' is in the hands of the Night Monster!"

Herbert took a deep breath and said slowly.

"What?!"

Qin Ran and Peel exclaimed at the same time.
