The red light that shrouded the stone bridge still showed no signs of dissipating.

The mercenaries teamed up several times to attack, and even Morton had already attacked, but the red light was still like an iron wall, between everyone and the white peak.

After research, a magician who was proficient in magic patterns announced that this was an extremely powerful magic pattern circle. It has been in operation for thousands of years. But until now, it is still very strong. Moreover, instead of diminishing, the energy in it is getting stronger and stronger.

This made everyone present surprised and delighted.

Happily, the existence of the magic pattern circle confirmed the existence of the ruins. Otherwise, there would never be such a thing in the abyss. And the surprise is that even everyone can't break it together, how can they enter the ruins?

Although there are some annoyances, it also makes everyone look forward to the treasures in the ruins even more.

During this time, dozens of people arrived one after another. But they didn't see the combined mercenary team that annihilated Gna's department. As time went on, everyone's curiosity and anticipation for this team became stronger and stronger.

It is not even inferior to the longing to enter the ruins of the Abyss.

It's a very subtle psychology.

Although everyone belongs to different mercenary groups, they don't even know each other. However, the existence of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment naturally gave them a mentality that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and put this team on their side.

Everyone really wants to see what kind of guys dare to unite against the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group. Moreover, they actually won. This is something that many people here want to do, but for various reasons they have not done or cannot do.

And. The existence of this team has made a great change in the whole pattern.

The Thunderstorm Mercenaries have been severely weakened and are no longer overpowered. Regardless of whether the mercenary squad is strong or weak, its status and importance in the pattern have also been greatly enhanced.

Reflecting on reality, everyone found that the arrogant and hideous eyes of the thunderstorm mercenaries had converged a lot. Mercenaries standing near them. It's been a long time since I've felt that naked and vicious, menacing gaze like a beast that could pounce at any moment.

Obviously, the team that had not yet arrived made them feel threatened. Until this enemy is addressed, whether they want it or not, they must keep a low profile and avoid irritating others. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for them to have such a mercenary alliance again.

Of course. Everyone didn't get carried away because of this. No one wants to take the initiative to provoke the Thunderstorm mercenaries.

If nothing else, just one Moreton is enough to keep everyone calm. That guy is a real madman. Whoever thinks that he will forbear to back down after a blow is miscalculated. He won't hesitate to tear you to pieces and swallow you raw.

Besides, mercenary alliances don't mean that they can be united by unions. Everyone has their own interests and ideas. If there is not a common bond. Unable to form a foundation of unity, the selfishness of human nature will make everyone face danger in times. Instinctively protect yourself.

And this means the collapse of the union!

So everyone is now looking forward to the arrival of that team. Only when a mountain has two opposing powerhouses instead of one powerhouse controlling everything, they have more opportunities and choices!

The crowd gathered in the open space in front of the stone bridge, in groups of three or five, whispering.

And no one noticed, just inside the red light. A pair of red eyes were quietly watching them, like a tiger, watching their food.

At that moment, suddenly, someone shouted.

"It's coming. It's coming!"

People turned their heads to look. I saw a team of mercenaries in the dust. Appears in view.

They came down a small hill. There were one hundred and twenty or thirty people. Judging from the costumes and insignia, these people came from seven or eight different mercenary groups, and some were even temporary combinations of mission halls and some freelance mercenaries.

Soon, attention was focused on the few people who were at the forefront.

"It's Rundero and Jarvis!"

"Sure enough, it was the two of them. The Ice Star Mercenary Regiment is deployed among Lulian's people, and these two are the only ones who can take the lead. ”

"Look, that's Olivia of the Highlanders Combined Mercenary Regiment, right?"

"Wow, Wood of the Rock Mercenary Regiment, Jacob of the Raphael Mercenary Regiment, Xia Zuo of the Wind and Snow Mercenary Regiment, Sanchez of the Thorn Bird Mercenary Regiment......"

People were talking enthusiastically, excited and shocked.

Excitedly, these mercenary squads really united. What is shocking is that the composition of these mercenaries is so complex, and even some of the mercenary groups behind them can't fight together, let alone have any friendship. But they united.

And it is also united with the Ice Star mercenaries who are regarded as mortal enemies by the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment. It's incredible.

And the one that interests everyone the most is the brunette boy who walks among the captains.

"That's him!"

Almost at the same time as he saw Roy, several pairs of eyes from different directions flashed at the same time.

Scarlett stared at Roy intensely. All I could remember was the moment this guy killed Fred in the rainstorm in Muni City.

At that time, the face was far more hideous than what it saw now. Like a wolf biting the throat of its prey, it makes people feel terrified to this day. At the same time, Scarlett has a sense of excitement and a desire to conquer. She wanted to tame the wolf into her hound.

She wasn't sure how long she would keep an interest in this person. Perhaps, after truly taming him, she will kill him to avenge Fred. But now, she longed for the moment when he bowed his head in front of her.

Immensely desired!

This thought grew rapidly in Scarlett's mind, like a demon!

Sandra was also looking at Roy. Compared to the portrait on the mission, the face in front of him seems more harmless to humans and animals. The blue eyes were clear, but they were a little confused, and they looked no different from the shy boys who had not seen much of the world in the countryside.

Of course, Sandra doesn't overturn the impression she has built from intelligence just because of her appearance.

On the contrary, if you take the intelligence of those that are said. Combined with the harmless young man in front of him, his danger level is even higher.

Interesting.

Sandra threw her head back and drank the wine from her glass.

Also staring at Roy are naturally the Thunderstorm Mercenaries and the Dark Executioners. Everyone looked at Roy like knives.

Far away, Morton and Solster looked at each other. Exchanged a definite look.

.........

The team slowly walked into the crowd.

Eyes swept over the complicated faces, and everyone subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword.

"It's Morton. Rondello looked in the direction where the thunderstorm mercenaries were and said solemnly.

Roy followed Rondelo's line of sight. When his gaze met the pair of cold, ferocious eyes that were almost beasts, he felt a tingle in his eyes.

The Sanctuary Strongman!

These four words instantly popped out of my mind.

"Be careful, everybody. Wood muttered.

The crowd parted at the front of the line. As his footsteps moved forward, Roy's eyes turned, and as several people looked away from him, he unexpectedly spotted a man.

Scarlett.

"Why did this woman get here?" Roy was secretly vigilant.

In Roy's mind, Scarlett is a typical woman with a peach face and a femme fatale. God gave her a noble birth. A beautiful face and a figure that is enough to make any man crazy, but it does not give her a gentle character, a tolerant and benevolent character, and a kind heart.

She is arrogant, conceited, headstrong and unreasonable.

At the beginning of the first training camp, there was almost no reason for her to become her enemy. If it were a different person, I was afraid that her future would have been ruined by her.

For her, it was just a little game. She won't even remember the person. But for others, that's life.

Originally, Roy thought. After paying the ransom, this woman who was planted in her hands again will return to the imperial capital to be honest for a while. Unexpectedly, she reached the abyss. With her status, it is obviously not suitable to risk it herself for the sake of the Abyss Ruins.

Well, the purpose of her presence here is very suspicious. Roy wasn't sure if she had come to kill herself. But what he can be sure of is that he and her have met. That is, the road is narrow. Whenever given the chance, this woman will definitely kill herself.

"Fuck," Roy thought viciously, grinding his teeth, "or find a chance to kill her!"

With the arrival of this team. The atmosphere was a little tense. However, no one made any drastic moves, on the contrary, everyone seemed to be a little cautious. It seems to be afraid that a spark will be rubbed into this powder keg. Even the thunderstorm mercenaries mostly looked away.

After all, in the current situation, no one can guarantee that they will kill the other party as soon as they make a move. No one can say which side the other forces next to it will stand on when the time comes. What's more, openly acting in front of everyone's eyes is to break the rules of the Mission Hall, which is equivalent to directly declaring war on the Mission Hall.

This kind of thing can be done outside, and it can be done when exploring the abyss in normal times, but it can't be done here and now!

Even the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment does not have such guts.

Therefore, everyone can only control themselves and pretend for the time being that nothing has happened. Of course, when you enter the ruins, everyone will naturally disperse, and you will not be polite at that time.

.........

Mercenaries are a very close-knit group. Especially the well-known mercenaries who are mixed in the same mission hall can be said to have friends all over the world. In the crowd, the captains such as Rondero, Olivia, and Wood all found a few acquaintances.

Soon, everyone had a basic understanding of the situation here.

"I heard that it is a very powerful magic pattern array, and the big guys can't open it together. Wood, who came back from inquiring about the news, looked serious and said to everyone.

"There are a few magicians working on it, but it's been a long time, and we don't have a clue yet. Xia Zuo said.

Others are also gossiping about the news they have gotten. But in general, it's all about the same.

"So what now?" asked Yárvis.

Everyone unanimously turned their attention to Roy.

Roy didn't speak. He leaned against a rock, staring at the red curtain of light, frowning.

In fact, Roy had already known about this magic wall from its mouth when he captured the little thing. It is the existence of this magic wall that blocks the demonic invasion of this ruin. It is said that even the eighth-level demons cannot break through the magic wall.

This point, the mercenaries' previous efforts, also proved it. The attack power of their joint efforts is not known how many times more than the eighth-level demon, but they are still helpless with this magic wall. This is a testament to the strength of the defensive circle of this relic.

But. Roy wasn't thinking about the magic wall now.

Among the hundreds of people present, Roy's knowledge and experience of the abyss may only be ranked at the bottom. But after fusing the power of the abyss, his perception of the abyss environment is the strongest of them all.

Moreover, he was perhaps the only one who knew that the entire Dark Basin was a huge guardian formation.

Roy didn't know which strong man had such a big hand.

The history of the Avalon civilization for hundreds of thousands of years has given birth to countless super-powerhouses of different races. These powerhouses crisscrossed the continent and wrote legends at the same time. It also left a lot of relics.

In the God-given Continent, many relics are an important way for the major races to obtain inheritance. At that time, the magic and knight academies on the continent would send students to experience every once in a while. And after the experience, everyone will have a great improvement.

Since humanity was driven to the Salvation Continent three hundred years ago, these inheritances have also been lost. The Redemption Continent is a paradise for Warcraft, with a harsh environment and inaccessible people. The strong also come to take risks. But few people leave their legacies here.

For three hundred years, the relics of the predecessors that humans were able to find in the Redemption Continent. A slap counted. However, even if all the ruins of the God-given Continent were added, Roy had never heard of anyone who could turn an entire basin into a guardian array.

This array is not only huge, but also exquisite. The builders took advantage of the dangerous terrain of the Abyssal Labyrinth. And the various creatures, climates and environments of the abyss are fused, making it a natural part of the Great Array.

I want to get close to the ruins. There are three hurdles that people need to face.

The first difficulty is the demons and beasts that are all over the abyss.

These aborigines of the abyss are the natural guardians. They are everywhere in groups. Under their threat, explorers can barely enjoy a moment of tranquility. That's why the Abyss Labyrinth, which was discovered in the first place to have veins that would make anyone crazy, has yet to be unmined.

And the second hurdle. It's the terrain.

The environment of the Dark Basin is inherently strange and dangerous, and it's easy to get lost. In addition, the Great Guardian Array has cut the entire area into forty-nine sections that will change their positions from time to time, making this the most terrifying and difficult labyrinth in the world!

As we walk, we are just ants in the desert. No matter how powerful it is, it is useless.

And the third obstacle is the omnipresent clouds in the basin.

The source of the creation of the clouds is the countless demon reapers, who are like small things. These demon reapers are deformed creatures with a very small probability of being born among the little demons. They are one of the demons, and they are born with the purpose of destroying them.

It's incredible, but it's a perfect cycle.

It's like nature's food chain. Whenever a grassland is rich in aquatic weeds and herbivores multiply, the carnivore population also increases. They hunt herbivores and thus unconsciously achieve ecological balance.

The Demon Reaper plays the role of balancing the ecology of the Abyss.

The greater the number of demons, the greater the number of reapers. And the clouds they release are the nemesis of all demons, and can cause the death of demons on a large scale. Let these demons return to the earth like rotten fruits.

Especially when a powerful being at the bottom dies, the essence delivered through the well of the abyss will attract the demon reaper to instinctively take root, absorbing the essence and releasing clouds that are far more than a hundred times more than usual, forming a cloud storm.

It's like a cleaning of the abyss.

And naturally, in addition to the demons and abyssal beasts, there are also humans who are in it. There is not one in ten thousand who can survive the cloudy storm.

These three difficulties constitute the most important protection of the abyss ruins, and the magic wall in front of them is nothing compared to it.

And that's exactly what puzzled Roy.

The owner of the ruins took such great pains to design such a huge and terrifying formation, obviously to protect the tranquility of the ruins and prevent them from being easily discovered. Moreover, in addition to the three difficulties, there is another unavoidable premise, that is, the explorer must first determine the existence of the ruins!

And this is almost impossible.

The reason why the ruins appeared was because no matter how delicate the formation was, it also needed energy to maintain it. A guardian array like the Ruins, if it is powered by a magic core, the magic core required is a terrifying astronomical amount. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of years of operation.

Therefore, the owner of the ruins needs to use the power of the abyss that is transported from the well of the abyss to the layers of the abyss when the powerful existence at the bottom of the abyss dies to replenish the energy of the ruins.

In a way, the ruins of the abyss are a giant beast hidden in the depths of the trench. Normally, no one can find it. It is only when it needs to be recharged that it floats from the bottom of the sea. After absorbing enough energy, it continues to hibernate.

On the surface, this is a flaw exposed by the owner of the ruins. But this flaw is based on the premise that the abyss is closed. It's like a perfect loop. Theoretically, the probability of it being discovered tends to zero indefinitely. In thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, it may not be discovered.

But it was discovered!

Hundreds of people knew about its existence before it appeared, and they arrived here with the help of this white peak. And going back to the beginning, the source of everything points to the two mercenaries who stumbled upon the ruins and miraculously survived.

Roy can now be sure that the claim of getting lost and stumbling upon the ruins of the Abyss is an outright lie. The abyss hadn't closed a few days ago, and the ruins of the abyss hadn't risen above the ground. Even if they got lost in the Dark Basin 1,800 times, they would not be able to find the ruins.

This has been confirmed by Roy through the little things. A few days ago, the Abyssal Ruins had indeed not appeared. The current white mountain is the first time since the last time the abyss was closed.

In that case, how did the two know about it?

If this is a lie, then Roy smells a strong sense of conspiracy in it. But he didn't know where this ominous premonition came from. And he didn't have a way to talk to anyone else. After all, it involved too many of his own secrets, and it was difficult for him to explain them clearly.

Looking at the inquiring eyes of the crowd, Roy tried to put aside the doubts in his heart.

He knew that behind him was a huge storm of clouds in a circular pattern. It forms on the periphery of the dark basin and is like a noose that continues to retract towards the center. Everywhere I passed, I don't know how many demons and abyssal beasts turned into ashes.

And this ruin, blocked by the magic wall, is the only way for the hundreds of people present to survive.

Once the cloudstorm arrives, and the ruins are not entered, everyone will die, and none will escape. Therefore, it no longer makes sense to consider whether the front is a trap or not. Even if you know it's a trap, you can only pinch your nose and jump in.

The first priority is to break down this magic wall.

Thinking of this, Roy said to everyone, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”...... (To be continued......)
