Chapter 208: After the Rift

A few days later, in a forest of winter cypresses, a figure came out of a hidden place, came to a huge winter cypress and screamed softly, and suddenly four figures jumped down from the tree.

"I've already taken care of the traces left behind, and I've made a point of observation, so don't worry, we're not being followed," said Kusade.

"Well, let's continue our journey, we're almost there, everyone come with me", said Swift Sword, "It's still the one I stumbled upon on my last solo trip, and the entrance is very secret, so I'm sure it's a brand new ruin, and we can't afford to be careless." ”

Lin Ze also nodded, "The mage eye I left behind didn't find a stalker", when adventuring outside, most of the real dangers do not come from those traps or guards in the ruins, but from peers, Lin Ze's exploration in the cosmic civilization is even more obvious, ordinary such as poison gas traps or something, there is no threat if you use advanced instruments to detect and warn, so explorers in the cosmic civilization like to do it alone when they explore the ruins of ordinary low-level civilizations.

"Mage's Eye? Qi Lin, you are really cautious", the face of the hand was slightly unhappy, and it seemed as if someone was robbing him of his work.

"Accustomed to this, it is used to warn those unknown creatures that are suddenly approaching", Lin Ze shook his shoulders indifferently, too lazy to explain too much.

"Quick, keep up~ no matter how careful you are in the wild adventure, let's go", the swift sword changed the subject.

A group of people trekked through the cypress forest for about half an hour, "That's right, this is it, I found the mark I made last time", the Wood Elf Twin Musketeers touched the trunk of a winter cypress tree, "Come, go this hole in the ground over here!" He took the lead in removing the hidden wilts, and a small hole in the ground was revealed.

"Be careful, the cave is very short, all keep their heads down~" The wood elf lit a torch and drilled into the cave.

Lin Ze walked at the end of the line, with the help of the torch light in front, he could clearly see that the cave was not high, and if he stood up straight, he would bump into the stone wall on the top of the cave.

"Passing through here, I killed the grizzly bear that hibernated in the cave and scattered its feces all over the cave to prevent other animals from escaping," explains Swift Sword as he walked, "and then I stumbled upon the ruins, you see, this is it!" ”

Several pairs of eyes focused on the place illuminated by the wood elf torch, and a crooked crack appeared on a stone wall of the cave, the crack was not wide, probably just enough for a person to enter sideways, the inside was deep and dark, and the whirring cold wind blew the fire swaying.

"You mean the ruins are just behind this chasm? Have you been in there yet? Da Zhuang asked suspiciously.

"That's right, I went in, because the yin wind that blew out of it at that time carried a strong smell of Nord grease, and I smelled the characteristics of this Nord ruin, so I naturally wanted to go in and have a look."

"And then? What did you encounter? Why are you going back to find a helper? The quicker also asked his doubts.

Lin Ze's gaze hidden under the cloak also looked at the swift sword, judging from the current situation, the discoverer of the ruins is the wood elf, and the others are all temporary mercenaries he found, assuming that if this operation is related to the secret archive, then the most suspicious identity is him?

Lin Ze is always used to assuming as many unexpected situations as possible in advance, in case he is caught off guard at that time, he carefully did not speak, silently observing the words and deeds of several temporary teammates, quite a feeling of being mixed in with the interstellar pirates.

"It's really not dangerous in the first place, but I can't go far and I can't continue to move forward, just drill over and see you, it's hard to describe it out of thin air", the wood elf took the lead after speaking, and turned sideways and drilled into the crack.

Lin Ze was still at the end, he lightly put away the necklace around his neck, to prevent being scratched by the stone wall when he was moving sideways, and then he squeezed into the crack, the road between the cracks was very long, twisting and twisting, and the group had to rest in the crack several times.

"It's almost ~ coming soon", the Wood Elf whispered encouragement at the front.

After walking in the rift for about an hour, it suddenly became clear in front of me, thanks to the fact that this rift was not the kind that became narrower and narrower.

"Huh, it's finally out, Lord Swift Sword really lives up to its name, you can find such a long rift, such a weird place, amazing!" Da Zhuang took a few heavy breaths.

The wood elf also sighed and extinguished the torch, "At that time, I also wanted to give up on the way several times, and finally I finally persevered, let's take a breath first, it's still safe here for the time being, I'll tell you in detail about what happened last time." ”

Here is a huge patio, bright light from nearly 100 meters above, spiral artificially excavated stone steps along the stone wall of the patio around, and now the location of the crack is a stone wall halfway through the spiral stone steps, and the passage connecting the stone steps at the bottom is completely blocked by huge falling rocks.

"I took a closer look at the road below, it has been tightly blocked by falling rocks, and it will definitely not be passable without inviting a large number of people to dig that passage, which is also one of the bases for me to judge this to be a brand new ruin, I guess I am afraid that the entire exit passage of the original ruins has collapsed, so no one will ever know that there is a ruin here", the wood elf paused, "The stone steps above should be the road leading to the inside of the ruins, I was moving along the stone steps at that time, but not far from the top, I encountered the Nord zombie, I was still a zombie warrior, and I didn't have enough supplies left to support a ruins exploration at the time, so I went back. ”

"We brought 5 people for half a month's worth of food this time, it should be no problem, hurry up and go?" Da Zhuang looked at the fast hand and Lin Ze inquiringly.

Since there may be enemies in front of them at any time, the order of the team has changed this time, Da Gong walked in the front with his shield, then the wood elf with his double swords in his hand, the archer in the middle, Lin Ze walked in the penultimate and the fast hand was at the end.

The stone steps are very long, and it feels like they are getting longer and longer, and after so many years, the weathering is terrible, and everyone walks very carefully.

"It's coming, it's about to reach the top, be careful!" The Wood Elf commanded.

"We can put the excess supplies in the ear chamber next to this stone step first, to reduce the burden, otherwise there will be a drag on the battle for a while", Da Zhuang pointed to the stone chamber beside him, and there was an ear chamber dug out every short distance on the stone steps.

"Well, that's reasonable, just a little trimming in this ear room, let's go in directly in a while", the swift sword also nodded in agreement, as an adventurer, although the stone steps are not too long, but in the face of the upcoming battle, it is better to be cautious to keep the best condition.

"Well, you guys fix it first, I just have time to go to the front to reconnoiter the situation", quickly put down his backpack, grabbed his weapon and ran quickly to the front.

"Be careful~ Come back if you can't do it, don't be discovered!"
