Chapter 129: The Misplaced Ruins
As the humidity increased, I thought I would encounter a water monster in the center of the forest, but the ground became drier and drier, and the temperature kept rising. > although the ground became more and more solid, the fog in the air became more and more severe, and from time to time you could see hot air rising from the cracks in the ground. Now I can understand how the environment came to be. There must be a lava river beneath the surface in this place, so the temperature underground is relatively high. The wetland on the outskirts of the forest itself accumulates a large amount of water, which does not flow to the periphery of the forest, but flows back into the forest. However, due to geothermal heat and cracks in the earth's surface, the water does not form rivers or lakes, but is all steamed into the air. This rapid steaming process creates a delicate balance in the forest. The steamed water takes away a lot of heat, so that the surface temperature still allows some heat-tolerant plants to grow, and the dense vegetation forms a huge canopy to block the rising water vapor, so that the entire forest is foggy.
Due to the dryness of the ground and the growing density of the forest, the mount was no longer suitable, and even I had to dismount and walk, and it was better to walk on the back of the Night Shadow by keeping my head down from time to time to avoid pesky branches.
"President Purple Sun, be careful from here. Hidden in this fog is a terrifying beast, and it was here that we lost nearly half of our personnel last time. The female archer kindly reminded.
Hearing the archer's prompt, the captain seemed to be uneasy and added, "This kind of magical beast is very fast and has a high attack power, so you'd better be careful." ”
Before the captain finished speaking, he saw that the fog in front of him suddenly separated, and a black shadow shot out of the fog like lightning, but a red light suddenly flashed, and I took a step to the side, and the black shadow fell directly through the position I was standing on and fell to the ground, and it was only at this time that the surrounding people realized that the black shadow was the monster they had encountered once before, but now the monster's body was neatly divided into two halves from the middle.
"That's what you're talking about?"
The men looked at each other, then at the monster corpse on the ground, and then the captain said helplessly, "When I didn't say it." ”
We encountered many more of these monsters along the way, but each time there was only one result, and all the monsters that appeared were killed by me with one blow. This kind of monster is actually only a six-hundred-level monster, and the reason why this team can lose half of its personnel here is mainly because this creature is caused by a regionally adapted creature. Just like the lava toads I met not long ago, the player can't fight them in the lava at all, and this creature is similar, in the fog their explosive power and super attack power bring a one-hit killing effect, and the fog obscures the view, and the guide zhì player can't effectively counterattack, which is their real specialty. But today is not a good day for these monsters, in the face of me, a super player of more than a thousand levels, their special blow is useless at all, because I have the ability to appear in the fog, and have a super long reaction speed, their surprise attack has no effect on me at all, and the disadvantage of low defense is exposed at this time.
After passing through the area where the monsters were, a mountain wall appeared in front of us, and the mountain was completely covered in green mosses and vines, like a huge wall that completely blocked the way ahead, and the road ended there. Under the guidance of the adventure team, I found a stone gate on the mountain, but this entrance was not on the ground, but more than ten meters above the ground. "How is this gate so high?"
"We don't know, it was like that the last time we came." As he spoke, the captain reached out and grabbed the rattan hanging from the nearby mountain wall and began to climb up, while the others went to find the empty rattan and began to climb up the mountain.
The female archer came over and found a rattan and handed it over. I looked at it but didn't answer. In her quizzing gaze, I raised a hand to the hole above. Follow the fingers. I only heard a muffled pop. The dragon tendon zipline suddenly shot out. There was a crunch and a crackle that plunged directly into the rock at the top of the cave. I pulled hard twice. After confirming that the connection was tight, the other hand grabbed the female archer wrist. The zipline immediately began to contract. Pulled the two of us straight up. In the surprised and envious gaze of the team members next to us, we landed at the entrance of the cave in a very beautiful pose. The female archer didn't react until this time. Looking back below, everyone is still climbing rattans.
The cave above it is clearly artificially constructed. However, the neat stone walls have been completely covered with living plants. There are also many unknown plants hanging from the top of the passage. It's like a spider hole**. Quite terrifyingly felt.
I was about to call the female archer in first. Suddenly, I heard screams from behind. When I looked back, there was a team
Lay on the ground. But there was nothing nearby.
"What's going on?"
"A monster rushed out of the fog and attacked us. But it's already gone. ”
The female archer stretched out her head and shouted, "How is Barrath?" ”
"It's already hanging.
That thing moves fast! ”
The captain immediately shouted, "Don't stop, hurry up." It's not bad to lose one person here, everyone. ”
The captain's words were not bad in their squad, and everyone's movements immediately sped up. Since there is nothing to ask me to help with, I simply turned my head and continued to go deep into the hole**, the roots of the plants that got in the way were cut off with a sword, and the hole ** was relatively easy to walk without the blocking of these obstacles. After going dozens of meters into the cave, the people below also climbed up one after another, but by the time they ran to us, we had already entered a huge stone chamber. It was a room about the size of a basketball court, and the walls around it were covered with moss, but you could still see the dense relief text under the green, but it was almost unrecognizable due to the corrosion.
"Where's the Stone of Discipline?"
"It's still in the back, this is the main hall, there's a mechanism over there, and when activated, it will open a passage, and after passing through the passage, you can reach a room with many passages. The Precept Stone we sold you was found in one of the passages. ”
"One of the passages? Have you explored any other passages? ”
The female archer shook her head. "Nope. We only explored two passages at the time, and in the second passage, there were two precept stones you wanted, and we only had time to get one, and then the boss inside rushed out, and we didn't run away in the end, everyone hung outside, but fortunately, the precept stone didn't burst out. ”
I nodded in understanding. Listening to this female archer, this place is almost impossible for them to explore, which means that there may be a precept stone in other passages. But to be honest, I don't have much hope for this, after all, the Precept Stone is not iron ore, so there is no reason why it will appear in pieces. I'm amazed to have two pieces in the same place at the same time.
Without waiting for the people behind us to catch up, we had already activated the mechanism first, and sure enough, as the archer said, a crack automatically separated in the center of the wall, but I don't know if it was a problem with the mechanism or if it was originally like this, the door only opened a small crack, and I had to smash a large piece of the door before I walked in. According to the female archers, the last time they came, they took off their armor and squeezed them in, and then put back on their armor before entering the passage. Fortunately, the inside of the passage is much wider than the entrance, at least there is no need to take off your armor. After walking a few steps, I came to the room full of passages, which was much cleaner than the outside, and there was no moss or anything like that, but the reliefs on the walls were still corroded, but at least I could see the general shape, but this made me even more confused.
"Looking at the style of this relief, it doesn't seem to be a European thing, right?" I asked casually.
The female archer immediately replied: "We don't know either, but it's certainly not our style, something that looks like the Mayan civilization or ancient Egypt." ”
"It's not Egyptian." I replied in the affirmative: "This is not the case with Egyptian writing, this style of relief is only found in South America, and it is likely to be a product of the Mayan civilization." But it's strange that this would appear in Europe! ”
"We don't know about that. After all, we don't study history! The captain pointed to a passage on the far left and said, "This passage collapsed after walking less than thirty meters, so it was not explored later." The one next to it is the passage where we now ask for the Stone of Discipline. ”
I nodded, and immediately walked towards the second passage. The female archer immediately shouted from behind: "Beware, the boss from last time may still be inside!" ”
Without waiting for me to answer, the captain preemptively said: "People are the number one in the combat power list, and they are kittens to us and others." ”
I ignored them and walked straight into the hallway. This passage is much wider than the one that comes in, and if the one that comes in is a cave for people to walk, then this one is basically a large tunnel for trains. The tunnel is sloping downwards and steeper the slope increases, and with the water on the ground and a thin layer of moss, there is almost no friction at all. Those guys came prepared, they all wore a kind of steel drill more than a meter long, and then after walking a few steps, they inserted one into the ground, so that one by one can be used as a handrail, otherwise with this kind of ground, just sit on the ground to ensure that you can slip to the end.
"Ahh I was walking well when I heard a scream from behind me.
"What's going on?"
