Chapter 574: Ancient Ruins Underground
Since knowing the value of this thing, the originally terrifying monster suddenly became less terrifying, and a group of people surrounded the two blood-piercing monsters tightly, constantly smashing them with stones or weapons to squeeze out the blood essence in its body.
This time it was not directly divided into two, there was no trace of blood essence wasted, and when the two blood thorns were squeezed dry, they obtained nearly a kilogram of blood essence, and on average, one person had the harvest of six or seven magic stones, which was already comparable to the harvest of their exploration mission this time.
An hour later, the long passage came to an end, and they, with the beginning, had harvested a total of more than three kilograms of blood essence.
Unfortunately, the number of Bloodpiers was limited, and they were disappointed that they didn't run into one at the back of the tunnel.
There is a five-part bifurcation in the passage here, which are the left and right upper and the front two bifurcations, the left and right three directions must not be considered, only the first two, a little consideration, choose a relatively downward channel to enter.
Not long after they left, the three Bloods followed, also standing at the fork in the fifth, looking ahead for a long time without moving a single step.
After a while, the Bloodline on the left said to the Central Provisional Leader:
"Vice Captain, why don't you keep following?"
The temporary leader shook his head:
"Wait a minute, wait for them to get farther away, I'm afraid they'll have someone waiting inside."
The Bloodline on the right laughed:
"How is that possible...."
Before the words fell, a man-thick arm with muscles knotted like a devil suddenly flew out of the darkness of the passage in front of him, and his huge palm grabbed the leader and shrank back violently, and the last word of the man was still on his lips, and he looked sluggish and had not yet reacted from this change.
"It's... What's going on..."
He shook with a scream, and the two looked at each other, and immediately turned to burrow into the hole where they came.
Leaning less, two golden hooks flew out of the darkness, pierced through the void into the darkness, that is, two screams, the golden chains shattered and shook violently, pulling the two bloods out of the darkness, the hooks hooked deep into their backs, bursting out of their chests, leaving them powerless to fight back.
The two were pulled into the darkness for less than three seconds, and two screams rang out, then abruptly stopped, and a rattling of chains became smaller and smaller in the darkness, and finally disappeared.
Miss Key saw Ye Qing, who was wiping her hands, catching up from behind, and asked strangely:
"What were you doing?"
"I didn't do anything, I just found two little mice behind me, and I trampled them to death."
"Oh!"
She nodded as if she didn't understand, and didn't ask again.
The next passage diverges more and more, and often there is a fork in the road after walking a few hundred meters, and it is basically impossible to discern the direction here, so you can only go down by luck.
At this point, they encountered more and more monsters, most of them were creatures living underground, but they were very different from the underground monsters that Ye Qing had encountered in an underground world, and most of them had stronger combat power.
"Scorching Ray!"
He raised his staff a little, and a thick pillar of fire from the baby's arm erupted, burning a large part of the black vampire bats in the passage.
Other people's scorching shooters are only the thickness of a thumb, his is as thick as a baby's arm, and they are more powerful, these vampire bats are only the size of a fist, and their wings are not very big to spread, and the membrane of their wings is easy to burn when it is fired, and it is easy to burn when it burns like this.
Unfortunately, the terrain here is not suitable for fireballs, the two sides of the passage are not very thick stone wall support, the other side is another passage, occasionally the stone wall is thinner, you can pass through the passage on the other side, if the fireball explodes, this stone wall will definitely be blown up, which may have extremely bad consequences.
With the terrain structure of the underground space, it is unlikely that it will collapse, but it is not impossible, for the sake of his own safety, he still does not dare to try, and his fireball technique is more powerful than other people's fireball techniques, and the explosion may be even greater.
It took a lot of effort to kill this large group of vampire bats, and the group was very embarrassed except for him, most of the exposed skin on his body was bitten out of many small pits, even Miss Keykey, who was bitten out of several small pits on her arm, which made her very distressed and angry.
After going around like this for a day, even Ye Qing didn't know where they went, only that the monsters they encountered along the way were getting stronger and stronger, and they seemed to be getting deeper and deeper into the ground.
It's a pity that I didn't find the imaginary underground race mine, and except for the three blood reincarnators who were killed, I didn't encounter any other alien races.
After almost thirty hours, they decided to find a place to build a temporary camp to rest, although there is no day and night in the underground world, people always have to rest, and the continuous march of thirty hours will make even the reincarnators tired.
It's hard to say anything else in the underground world, but there are many passages, including the kind of dead end without exit, and the team decided to rest here by finding a passage without an exit.
Ye Qing used fossils to make a simple stone wall for mud spells to block the entrance of the cave, and smoothed the cave wall, so that no monsters could touch in from the top of the cave wall, and arranged for a few people to take turns to keep vigil, so he lay down to rest.
He didn't know how long he woke up, and it was only five hours after he checked the time, but he was full of energy, and after meditating for a while to consolidate his spirit, he whispered to Miss Keykey to leave a coordinate here, and go out alone, he wanted to go shopping by himself to see if he could come across something interesting.
The speed of following the team is too slow, how can you be at ease alone, and it is much faster.
The whole person turned into a shadow, and flew forward quickly against the stone wall of the cave, without looking at the direction, let alone remembering the way, flying casually.
An hour later, he was already dozens of kilometers away from the team, and he came out of a cave, and suddenly a huge space appeared in front of him.
This is a very, very huge underground space, you can't see the end at a glance, the position where he appears is just in the middle of the upper position, looking down from the top, you can see that in this huge underground space, there is a city ruins, a high tower straight into the sky, in the very center, he saw a huge stone tower that reaches the cave dome, like a heavenly pillar supporting the entire underground space, the height is not more than ten kilometers.
The huge underground city was deserted, and he could see that many buildings had collapsed at the edges, many vines covered the ruins, and the occasional beast could be seen floating among the ruins.
"What a dangerous place!"
Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, he could clearly feel that there were many powerful auras contained in this ruin, the more powerful the aura was the further he went, many of which could make him feel the threat of life, especially the tall tower in the center, he could feel that there was an aura inside that suffocated his breath and was extremely terrifying.
But he had no idea of leaving, and instead jumped on the go.
This is a large underground ruin, judging from the giant tower in the center and other architectural styles, it is very likely that it is the remains of a wizarding organization, and it is the remains of a human wizarding organization, a remnant of an ancient wizarding organization.
Ye Qing had seen from the library of the crystal tower that the power of human wizards in the ancient period on the south coast was actually very strong, and there were once six or seven powerful wizards, and at that time, the huge underground world was ruled by them, and their power even extended to other worlds.
It's a pity that a disaster destroyed the glorious wizarding civilization, and the current wizarding organizations have all developed from the ruins, but they no longer have the original glory, and now it is difficult to see even a third-level wizard, let alone the legendary seventh-level witch king.
But that's not the point, the point is that the ruin in front of you is very likely to be left behind by an ancient wizarding organization, and it is very likely that it has not been explored.
It hasn't been explored for so long, the reason is very simple, the current wizards don't have the strength to go deep into it, you must know that now even an ordinary third-order awakener is difficult to defeat Ye Qing, and the person who can pose a threat to his life is either a fourth-order controller or a top third-order awakener, and the conversion to a wizard is at least a fourth-order wizard or above.
In other words, there are still wizards above level 4 in this ruin, or an existence whose strength is equivalent to this level, it may not be a wizard or another existence.
Whatever it was, it could threaten his life, and he stood at the mouth of the cave looking into the depths of the ruins, his eyes flickering.
He was hesitating, hesitating to venture inside and see.
In the ruins of this city, in addition to the Tianzhu tower in the center, there are many wizard towers of different heights, among which there are hundreds of towers that are comparable to the five giant towers of the Five Ring Towers alone, and this is only what he sees in his field of vision, and there will definitely be more on the other side of his vision.
You must know that the wizard towers of the five tower masters of the Five Ring Towers are only built by wizards above the fourth or fifth level according to the specifications, and the five towers of the Five Ring Tower Academy are not built by them, but inherited from ancient times.
That is to say, the ancient wizard organization in this underground space, there are hundreds of wizards above the fourth or fifth level alone, plus more than a dozen giant towers higher than this, as well as the central Heavenly Pillar Giant Tower, the strength of this ancient wizard organization is an extremely powerful organization even in the ancient times where the ancient powerhouses gathered.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing turned around and left.
When he returned to the camp, the group had just woken up, Ye Qing clapped his hands to focus everyone's attention, and said very seriously:
"I just found a huge underground space outside, and there is an ancient ruin inside."
Miss Keykey's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:
"That's a good thing, take us over and have a look."
Ye Qing ignored her and said to himself:
"But that ruin is very dangerous, and you will definitely die if you enter!"
The crowd fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at him and continued:
"There are many terrifying existences equivalent to the third and fourth orders in those ancient ruins, and I can't protect them myself, so I want you to go back now."
None of the group spoke, but he saw that their faces were a little ugly, and sighed in his heart, obviously these people didn't believe it, thinking that he wanted to swallow something good.
"If you don't believe it, I won't force it, I'll take you there, and you can see it for yourselves."
