Chapter 265: Underground City

"It's ......"

As the green light faded, some strange patterns suddenly appeared on the parchment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Benjamin took it in his hand again and looked at it carefully. From those crooked lines, he gradually saw that this ...... Seems to be a map.

The shape of a mountain, the sign of a road, and a cross drawn in a spot. He looked at it again, and yes, it wasn't just a map, it was a treasure map.

Suddenly, Benjamin was a little disappointed.

It's just a treasure map, and the potential income is much lower, after all, you still have to dig it. Don't forget, he also has a treasure map of the Valley of God's Forsaken on him, an ancient-level thing, but it is still useless.

Still, he called the system out and asked it to compare the terrain on the treasure map.

"Hmm...... The terrain above is also a long time ago, and it doesn't exactly match. After analyzing it for a while, the system spoke, saying, "However, there is a place near here, which is somewhat similar to the terrain above, and may have undergone some changes. ”

Benjamin was a little surprised: "Around here?"

If it was close, he wouldn't mind looking twice.

"A few kilometres south of Riley, there's a small hill that resembles the terrain above. "It's pretty close, and if you want to, you can run back and forth in a day." ”

Although it feels a little strange about this coincidence, Benjamin is relieved when he thinks about it.

After all, this parchment came from the gangsters in Riley City, and what they got in their hands shouldn't be too far away.

What's inside?

For some reason, Benjamin had a bad premonition.

He felt that the contents could be the private money of the gang boss or something, so he would value this parchment roll? Or maybe it contained hundreds of kilograms of explosives, which could blow up an octagonal building or something?

Really...... An unsettling treasure map.

After hesitating for a while, Benjamin decided to check it out. Anyway, it's close, even if you can only get some money, it's a good thing. If there is a trap, he can also find it in advance with the Water Elemental Perception Method, and he can't be killed.

Besides, who can be sure that there is no great treasure in there?

The parchment terrain appears for a moment, then disappears. The system already remembers, though, so that's okay.

Benjamin put it away and walked out the door. A few mages who went on a quest to hunt Warcraft yesterday have returned without any incident, and are now resting. After thinking about it, Benjamin still didn't call them and left alone.

Under the guidance of the system, Benjamin flew all the way out of Riley City, and more than an hour later, came to the hill that the system said.

It was a desolate place, bare all around, and occasionally a little grass appeared on the ground, which was also wilted and yellow, and there was not a trace of greenery in sight. Benjamin flew in the air, looking around, not to mention the human figure, not even a cat or a dog could be seen, it could be regarded as a place where birds don't.

Following the location on the treasure map, he found the location where the fork was drawn.

This is a particularly desolate mountain wall, and the whistling wind is a little permeating. Benjamin landed, looked around, and turned on the water elemental sensing method, but as a result, he found nothing.

"Is it really here? Are you mistaken?" he asked.

"Of course yes, if you don't believe me, you can take out the map and check it yourself. The system replied immediately.

Benjamin was also a little helpless. After thinking about it, he took out the parchment roll anyway, and prepared to drip some more blood to make the terrain above it reappear. However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he took the things out, the parchment once again emitted a dazzling green light.

What's the situation?

He held the parchment in his hand, and suddenly the green light seemed to become brighter, flickering like a brilliant crown in the windy hills.

Benjamin was almost blinded.

Through his squinted eyes, he could faintly see this green light...... It seems to stretch in the direction of the mountain wall.

Benjamin's heart moved.

At that moment, he did not hesitate, waved his hand, and heavily pasted the parchment on the mountain wall. Then he heard a loud rumbling bang, as if he had cracked the mountain walls.

Then, the mountain wall erupted with a green light like parchment!

"......"

Benjamin was caught off guard and could only close his eyes. And when he opened his eyes, the originally smooth and seamless mountain wall, at this time, a green and quiet hole appeared.

With the appearance of the hole, all the green light disappeared, and the parchment in Benjamin's hand also returned to its usual yellowed ordinary appearance at this moment.

He looked at the hole with a stunned look on his face.

What is it?

As the green light erupted, he felt a very strong elemental fluctuation. It seems that the elements came together, activated some kind of mechanism, and then the mountain wall cracked on its own, creating a small hole like this.

However, when he used the water elemental induction method before, he didn't feel anything strange from this mountain wall!

Could it be ...... This hole has even deceived the water element?

There is no doubt that this is the location of the treasure recorded on the map. This roll of parchment serves as a treasure map as well as a key to unlocking the treasure. Without it, those who come here for a treasure hunt will find nothing.

Can...... Why?

How exactly does it work?

After thinking about it for a moment, Benjamin felt that he might be a little bit of a bull. Whether it's elemental or magic, how does this mechanism work, and how does it deceive the water elemental, how can this kind of thing be thought of for a while?

What's more, this hole in front of you.

What's going to be inside?

After a moment's hesitation, he walked in.

Although he knew that the water elemental might become less reliable, he still turned on the water elemental perception method and carefully probed everything ahead. As you move forward, the light around you becomes darker and darker, and finally, it even reaches the point where you can't see your fingers.

After walking for about ten minutes, finally, there was a light in front of me again.

It's a bit like the faint green light of fluorescence, and the further you go, the brighter it becomes, and it also illuminates everything around you as if you were in a ghost movie. Soon, Benjamin came to the exit of the cave, however, he was somewhat stunned to find that an underground city appeared in front of his eyes.

It should be said that the entire terrain here is so open that it is impossible to see the edge at a glance. And some strange buildings also appeared in front of Benjamin's eyes.

Broken stone pillars, broken statues, white houses...... Stripped of the green rendering, Benjamin felt as if he had seen frescoes depicting older eras. The architecture here is very retro, and according to the historical data in the system's memory, this complex will only appear thousands of years ago.

Benjamin couldn't help but gasp.

Myself...... What exactly was found?

The city of a thousand years ago, for various reasons, came underground, or ...... Was the city built underground?

This place...... Anyone else?

Keeping his spirits up, Benjamin remained vigilant and cautiously took a step towards the city.

Soon, bathed in a green light that came from nowhere, he walked into the streets here. At that moment, he couldn't help but look around, and even had a feeling that he had really entered another era.

Those ancient buildings with ancient Greek style, showing an eerie sense of solemnity, skimmed by his eyes in turn. However, after walking for about five minutes, Benjamin still didn't find any creatures, or ...... Something that's still alive.

The entire underground city is as dead as a graveyard.

At the same time, he gradually discovered what was going on with the green light here.

There are these small pebbles scattered all over the ground here. When he picks up the stones, he discovers that they contain a strange energy that is scattered to form these green lights. Benjamin felt that it was harmless to his body, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Of course, he still picked up a few of these stones and prepared to take them back for study.

He put the stones in his pocket, and the green light seeped out, so that he had to use a bag of money to hold them, so that nothing unusual could be seen.

Putting away the research samples, Benjamin continued on his way.

However, just as he was slowly walking towards the center of the city, suddenly, in the edge of the area where he could sense, a humanoid figure appeared in the picture fed back by the water element.
