Ancient ruins.

As the soul of the dream chrysalis was ingested into the gem by Stephen, the huge dream enveloped in the entire ruins also disappeared completely.

Many of the ghosts woke up in shock, but the three thousand years of dreams had left them a little delirious, and with the erosion of the negative energy of the Nightmare Realm, many of the ghosts who had died in vain quickly turned into wandering earthbound spirits. The danger of these ghosts began to skyrocket, and the number of evil spirits began to increase on a large scale, and these evil spirits would not only attack the living people who were close to the ancient ruins, but even other ghosts would also devour them.

But the good thing is that the most dangerous target has been solved!

In the absence of the Dream Chrysalis, the adventure difficulty of the ancient ruins has been greatly reduced, and basically the class level above 10 is eligible to explore the peripheral areas, and some core areas such as military camps, libraries, town halls, etc. still need high-level wizards to lead the team.

Things are almost over at the palace.

Three thousand years is too long, and there are not many valuable things that can be left behind, but the ones that are still well preserved are quite good!

Victor, the red-robed wizard, and the others discovered several high-level magic items.

Stephen's actions were more restrained this time, he only took the core of the Lost Lock in the Tower area, and the rest of the things basically didn't move much.

He returned to camp the same day, but was caught and nagged by Witch Liana for a while. The Void Master also returned, nodding quietly and slightly with Stephen when they met. However, the other high-ranking wizards remained in the palace, and they planned to purge the surrounding evil spirits and establish a stable teleportation marker. The next battle is in the Great Library, where there are not only defensive construction golems, but also some very powerful Earth Binding Spirits. The people of the Five Rings Tower hope to take down the Great Library as soon as possible, as many of the books in it are well preserved due to the spell enchantment.

The blue-robed wizards on this side of the camp also started to get busy.

After the biggest threat is removed, the next task is to clean up the minions, and the astrological observatory hopes that they will be able to collect the energy barrier magic stones scattered within the ancient ruins.

"Then you should be able to set up the locks when you go back. ”

It was enough for Stephen to have a Mystery Lock, the Mystery Lock Technique of the Ancient Ruins was a decade behind what he had mastered, and he was not very interested in the more primitive rune sequences. He left all the energy protection barrier arrangements on the periphery to the Fifth Ring Tower, and as long as he tidied up a little, he could increase the protection ability of the academy by several levels.

It may not be possible to complete the exploration of this ancient ruin in a short period of time, and the wizards of the Five Rings Tower will probably have to be busy for a long time.

"Stephen!"

"Stephen!"

As Stephen returned to the tent, the twin sisters appeared outside, lifted the curtain and walked in, then held up a special cage and said, "Do you know what this is?"

"Strange bugs we just found outside!"

"Not here yesterday!"

Stephen smiled and motioned for Avira and Emily to sit down, then looked up at the cage they were carrying, he just glanced at it and couldn't help frowning slightly, his expression was a little stunned, "What is this? Where did you find it?"

The cage in front of him was arranged with a layer of energy force field, but it had become much weaker at the moment, because the weird bugs inside were constantly hitting it.

"Over there in the fog!"

"Location close to the Haze Forest!"

The twin sisters said, "We caught two of them at first, but we didn't expect the other one on the road to be eaten by this one......"

"They're fierce......"

Stephen picked up his staff and lightly placed it on the cage, and the energy barrier vanished.

Chirping!

The strange and hideous insect in front of him suddenly ejected and shot straight into Stephen's eyes, with a very fierce expression, but when it got close to Stephen, it couldn't move, and was directly fixed in mid-air, constantly struggling and twisting to make a sharp hissing sound.

"It's really fierce!"

Stephen observed the bug in front of him, and when he saw its somewhat distorted face, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and looked up, "When did you find out?

"No!" said the twin sisters, "I found it this morning." ”

"There are quite a few more over there in the Haze Forest, and I don't know where they came from...... They only seem to move around in the fog......"

Fog?

Stephen's expression grew serious, and he reached out and grabbed the bug in front of him.

- "Soul Ingestion!"

With a faint purple light, the strange insect in front of it twitched violently, and then a vague phantus appeared, and it let out a terrible howl and dissipated in front of it.

"What is this?" the twin sister next to her asked curiously, startled.

Stephen's expression became more and more solemn, and he said word by word: "Spirit-soul-worm-worm......"

"It can't be!"

"Why are soul worms appearing in the realm of nightmares?!...... It's simply not reasonable!!......"

This is completely unscientific!

Stephen's expression was also a little incredulous at this moment, because soul worms were not something that would be born under the norm at all.

There are many more names for this thing.

You can call it the Abyssal Worm or the Hell Worm, it is the currency and food of the lower planes, and the initial form of all kinds of demons, demons, and demons, and is loved by all kinds of demon lords.

This is the twisted embodiment of a soul!

It can only be born under certain circumstances, and it stands to reason that the Nightmare Realm is close to the spirit realm, and there should be no such twisted creatures.

"What's going on?"

"Why are soul worms popping up here? Is it because of the ancient ruins?"

"But that's not right!"

"I just killed a dream chrysalis, how can it affect the birth of the soul worm? Is there anything important going on that I don't know?"

Stephen's expression was very serious at the moment, and he walked out of the tent directly to the twin sisters and said, "Tell Liana Witch about this immediately...... Then please take me to the Haze Forest to see ......."

After saying that, he looked up at the sky, and the blood-red crescent moon seemed to be much brighter than before.

The twin sisters seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter at this moment, and immediately nodded, "Okay." We'll go now. ”

With a slight wave of his hand, Stephen dissipated the remains of the soul worm in front of him with the wind.

He raised his palm and glanced at it, and then crushed a small ball of soul power in his palm, and this dissipated power turned into a gray mist, and finally completely integrated into this world.
