Chapter Twenty-Three: Into the Ruins
Early in the morning of the second day, the air was a little damp and cold, and the three wizards and the three boar people had already gotten up early and walked together towards the back door of the steel shield camp.
Outside the door, six domesticated wildebeest were waiting there.
The sound of a wildebeest occasionally sounded in the quiet air, five wizards in wizards' robes and a warrior, the three of them stood together and discussed in a whisper for a while, assigned everyone's mounts, turned around and nodded slightly to the farewell Kao Ruzhu Yaoyao, and then rode on the wildebeest and hurried into the distance.
The sound of the horse's hooves gradually faded away, and looking at the few figures that gradually turned into black spots in his sight, Kao Ruzhu's eyes fell on Mu Yan's back.
I don't know why, when he saw this back, a strong sense of familiarity suddenly appeared in his heart, as if he had watched this back gradually go away not long ago!
But after recalling it carefully, and couldn't think of a reason, Kao Ruzhu had no choice but to shake her head, turn around and walk into the door.
He knew that even if that human was some acquaintance of his, it was too late, and he was targeted by a great shaman, a patriarch candidate, and a mid-level wizard at the same time, and that person was destined to die in that ruin!
No...... Judging by the plan arranged by the Great Shaman, all humans, even the boar people, would die in that ruin!
Another farewell that is destined to be no return!
"Farewell, everyone!" With a heavy creak, the two doors gradually closed behind Kaoruzhu.
……
The cold and wet wind air made the wizard's robes hunt, and six wildebeest galloped across the plain.
The cyan grassland stretches to the end of the horizon, and on its surface, thin and long peaks or rocks rise from the ground and rush into the sky, as if thick stone needles have been inserted into the ground, forming a unique scenery in the territory of the wild boar people.
Speeding through the Stone Needle Forest, the six ruins explorers arrived at their first stopover.
It was a boar-man village, still in a primitive state compared to the Steelshield camp, surrounded by simple houses made of hay and stone, and muddy roads.
The village has no name, and there is no official position such as the village chief in the village, and twenty or thirty wild boar people have settled down here and lived freely here.
Entertained by the strongest and most edible boar man in the village, the group rested for a while (mainly for the wildebeest carrying the three boar men) before moving on.
As the sun rises, the dampness and coldness in the air subside, and the air around it gradually warms up.
Towards noon, a slightly larger boar man village came into view.
Page turned around and yelled a few words to the humans behind him, and then the group turned around and dismounted at the gate of the village, where they found a teleportation array in a simple and flat stone building in the village.
Dense intricate patterns and runes were carved around with some kind of blue-gold solution.
Albo stepped forward to inspect it, and after making sure that the teleportation array was only a fixed-point teleportation that was not too far away, the three humans took the lead in standing on the teleportation array and disappeared into the white light.
Mu Yan had already experienced the teleportation technique of the wild boar people, and immediately after leaving the teleportation array, he poured himself a bottle of sober potion given to him by Lucar, which avoided the same foolish appearance as last time.
Compared to him, the two people on the side, neither Lucar nor Albo, reacted at all, obviously their physical fitness was stronger than him, a rookie who had only cultivated his blood qi for more than a month, I don't know how many times!
The three of them waited in place for a moment, and soon after, the three boar men also teleported in a white light.
The six explorers gathered again to discuss, and since the place was not far from the ruins, they all decided to walk over.
Mu Yan didn't speak from beginning to end, as a low-level wizard, he was very silent all the way.
The powerful soul made it easy for him to perceive Page's malice towards him, although he was not afraid of the Great Elder by his side, but he had no intention of provoking him.
The countermeasures on the Terran side had already been decided on the way here, and all Mu Yan had to do now was to hold the thighs of the Great Elder.
The surrounding trees grew thicker, and a new path wound its way into the woods, and it was not difficult to imagine that a large number of boar people must have walked this path during this time.
Three boar men walked in front, and the human wizard walked behind, and both groups traveled extremely quickly, and soon in the afternoon, the group reached the entrance of the ruins.
- This is a big hole that has been dug out! There was nothing to cover it around, but a round shadow was still lying strangely in the center of the pit!
Mu Yan glanced around, this big pit was obviously dug not long ago, and the soil and trees that had not completely died were piled up not far away.
Albo, who was standing in front of him, also observed the circle, and then lightly paused the ground with his staff, a plant that was as thick as a finger, like a vine, but had no leaves on its body, broke through the ground, and circled up along Albo's staff, and when it grew to the level of Albo's eyes, the tip of the vine suddenly swelled, getting bigger and bigger, and then with a pop, a white flower bloomed!
A black, rectangular card-like object fell from the flower and was taken into Albo's hand.
"Go ahead, take this card and try to sense that shadow!" Albo handed the card to Mu Yan, and shook the staff lightly, and the vines and flowers on it withered instantly.
"It shouldn't be too hard!" A gentle smile appeared on his old face.
Nodding slightly, Mu Yan reached out and took the card and glanced at it casually.
The card was made of an unknown metal that was black throughout, with a smooth surface and nothing, but he immediately felt the rich shadow element inside after taking it.
It should be some kind of unknown guide metal!
Without saying anything, Mu Yan walked forward, then squatted down in five eyes with different meanings, and pressed his hand on the shadow of the ground!
- Every move looks quite honest.
Close your eyes, and your mental power gradually melts into it!
The shadows of the ground shook and gradually distorted.
Sure enough, as the Great Elder had said, opening the door was not a difficult thing for him.
The moment his spiritual power was integrated into it, he immediately felt that the shadow was connected with the card in his hand, and it seemed that with just one thought, he could open the door in the shadows!
But he didn't do it, after all, if he had any advantage among the six, it must be his deep understanding of the shadow element, as evidenced by the magic patterns on his body.
If he opened the door so quickly, this characteristic would naturally be exposed.
So, after a full half an hour, under Mu Yan's "efforts", the shadow of the ground finally began to rotate slowly in a wriggling.
"Quick! One by one! I can't hold it up for long! Mu Yan raised his head and said in a "difficult" voice.
The two humans and the three boar people glanced at each other, Albo made a gesture of please, Sazhufan sneered, a red magic shield appeared outside her body, and she walked over and jumped directly into the shadows, and the two boar people quickly followed after her.
Then came Albo and Lucar, and after handing Mu Yan a small silver disc that could determine the direction of the other party, the two also jumped into the shadows in turn.
Mu Yan was the only one left, his face immediately relaxed, he glanced at the card in his hand, he chuckled twice, and his body fell forward into the shadows.
The world is spinning......
