Section 34 The Secret Door of the Unfound Ruins (2nd Watch)
The scorching sea of sand is boundless, and the little figures walking on the sand sea are like ants struggling in a pool of water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was only a few days of experience that had made Lux dread the desert enough. She couldn't imagine how those who were born and raised in Sri Lanka endured a series of difficulties such as extreme heat, lack of water, and dust storms for a long time.
This is the fourth day that the Treasure Quest has left the Red Rock Mountains, and by this time Lux is already riding on top of the camel.
After they had spent five days walking out of the Red Rock Mountains, Sivir, who was familiar with the desert as his own backyard, sent Taliyah to find a sandcastle on the edge of an oasis and buy four camel beasts, as well as food and water.
The food and water they had brought with them when they set out had been depleted, and it was only used as a supply before they left the Red Rock Mountains, carrying a large amount of supplies on their backs in the endless sea of sand, which was an act of suicide.
The wind and sand dust that lasted for half a day finally began to gradually decrease, and the dry lips covered under the cloth could be moisturized by the water.
"Ahem, ahem. How do you feel, Lux? "Everyone took advantage of the opportunity not to be poured a mouthful of sand and opened the water bag and took a few sips. Ezreal paid more attention to Lux, who had first entered Shurima and had gone deep into the desert.
Gently wiping the fine sand from her eyebrows, Lux responded with a strong spirit, "No, no problem, senior." ”
"Boy, hearing you ask this sentence all the way, I really heard my ears calloused." At the front of the team, Sivir, who was using some drought-resistant plants to distinguish the direction, heard the same conversation coming from behind him, and he couldn't bear to interrupt, "We are already very close to the ruins. Now go to the nearby sand dunes to rest, and wait for the evening to refer to the star map to confirm the exact location. ”
"Sparrows!" Sivir raised his voice and called Taliyah, who was catching sand scorpions, it was a good tonic in the desert.
"Yes, big sister!"
"Rested around before nightfall, help set up your little traps around, don't let the tail catch up with us, I don't know, understand?" Explaining to Taliyah, Sivir turned back to Ezreal and assigned the task, "The three of us take turns to be on guard, you, me, and the finch. ”
As for Lux, it would be nice if she could take care of herself, so Sivir didn't arrange a sentry unsatisfactory.
As usual on the expedition, Ezreal applied for the first shift, "Alright, I'll come first." ”
The core of the team often has a lot of work schedules after the team stops, such as personnel, logistics, upcoming task planning, etc. And if he enters the ruins, Ezreal must always be vigilant and deal with all kinds of strange problems, so if he is on duty first, it will not affect the work of the commander, and he will be well rested.
By the time Ezreal was replaced by Sivir to rest, the desert began to blow strong again, and there was no way for people to rest properly, so they could only hide under the camel beast in a daze.
The gale did not subside again until nightfall, and everyone gathered together to eat a good dinner in the short time before the night fell completely, and waited a little nervously for the stars to appear.
……
By the light of the stars and the moon, Sivir led the camel beast through the increasingly dense masonry wreckage, "We're almost there, everyone checks their weapons and equipment again. ”
It's a remote place, but it's not a place that no one knows about. In fact, after hundreds of years, it is difficult to say that there are any ruins in the Shurima Desert that have not been explored, but those who arrived early have taken away those things that have been stored on the surface.
Later treasure hunters had to dig deeper, and this often belonged to the realm of powerful people with certain abilities.
The ruins that Sivir came from were originally relatively ordinary, and after countless treasure hunters exploring inside and out, they were basically determined to be places without much value, and the people who came slowly became scarce.
Until recent decades, apart from the occasional newcomer trying to try their luck here, only high-ranking people like the 'Goddess of War' who specializes in picking up leaks have arrived. Because the first few times he teamed up with a professional scholar like Ezreal, it was very beneficial to some of the relics that were confirmed to be worthless by the sand thieves and mercenaries, so Sivir thought of giving it a try.
And the last time I tried, I didn't expect that there was really a hole here, so I used a small strategy to kidnap Ezreal to work for free.
Hiding the camel beasts, each carrying a small amount of food and water, and bringing all the equipment, quietly entered the ruins.
The part that has been explored shows that it is a simple two-story ruin, and the clues on the broken walls of the stump also seem to point to the burial place of a minor pharaoh from the time of Shurima.
'Beep~'
The sound of the searchlight in his hand and the oil lamp was very obvious in the dark and quiet passageway, and thinking of the mad stories in the ruins that Ezreal had told before, Lux unconsciously moved closer and closer to the 'explorer'.
Finally, the light in the hand of Sivir, who was walking in the front, began to gradually reflect back from the front, and the group finally came to the end of the second layer of the ruins.
Ezreal put down the oil lamp in his hand at the end and went into working condition, carefully examining the secret passages or mechanisms that Sivir had in his mouth, and finally sweated profusely but found nothing. Professional archaeological experience told him that there were no traces of hidden passages on either the walls or the ground, and it was clear that there were only two floors here, as previously confirmed.
"Commander, after my careful inspection, it is indeed impossible to have any passage here." Ezreal, who had no clue, could only come back to ask for help from Sivir, frowning and thinking, he unconsciously used the title of the previous treasure explorer again, "So how did you discover new clues, Captain?" ”
"100 gold coins, I can tell you." Seeing that the treasure was about to arrive, Sister Xiwei, who was in a good mood, took out the style of the mercenary group again and made a joke.
"Well, it's okay, I don't really want to know. Anyway, the treasure inside doesn't have much to do with me now......"
Ezreal shot back as before. Just kidding, it's okay to give him money, let him take the money out, even his own father can't do it.
"Hah, it's a big deal. The stone that was given to you before was newly discovered here. What do you think? Is it worth paying the 100 gold coins? Ezreal was teased, but Sivir stepped forward unambiguously to reveal the answer.
And when the last sentence was spoken, the smug expression of sympathy for the victory of the world's bickering was inadvertently revealed. It didn't matter in the past, because Ezreal was blind and the rock finch was not in love at all, it was her own little pleasure, but this time she forgot about Lux's existence......
Standing on the side of the passage, Lux was as surprised as if she had discovered a new continent! What's going on? That senior who doesn't have a noble pursuit of life is actually quite a woman? Although I'm a little older......
But... Take a closer look, the senior is actually quite handsome, and if you think about it, although his emotional intelligence is a little lower along the way, he is a warm man who cares about people. Wrong! I care about this!
Lux in the corner suddenly shook her head, causing Taliyah next to her to keep looking at her with strange eyes, probably claustrophobia!
"Oh, oh~ Here is the moment to witness the miracle! Not all knowledge academies can solve it~"
Sivir walked to the end of the passage and turned to show off the key to the door that only she had!
