Chapter 226: Ruins

"There are only two of you?" asked the young man, looking Lu Li up and down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Two people plus a gerbil beast, to be exact. Lu Li pointed to the pet on his shoulder.

"Squeak!"

The little guy raised his paw and screamed twice in cooperation.

Perhaps because he felt that the threat of the combination of the two people was relatively low, the young man immediately let down his vigilance, covered his stomach and laughed: "Hahahaha! Interesting! You are so bold that you actually brought a troublemaker with you, aren't you afraid that it will cause trouble?"

Lu Li spread his hands indifferently: "Don't worry, I will be optimistic about it and try not to let it get into trouble." ā€

"Alright then, you can rest at the door, but you can't get too close. ā€

With that, the boy retreated into the entrance and sat down slowly against the wall, his eyes glancing into the dimly lit depths of the hallway.

Meow Lori, who had already been miserable, quickly got into a cool place, picked up the kettle without saying a word, first poured half a pot of water with Gudong Gudong, followed by taking off her leather armor, coat, pants, boots and socks, wearing only a cool vest and small shorts, squatting on the ground barefoot to enjoy the cool breeze blowing from the depths of the ruins.

As the cool breeze gently brushed her cheeks, she immediately pricked up her ears and opened her arms, allowing her body to fully stretch out in order to increase the area of the wind.

It can be said that in order to make herself cooler, the girl has done everything, if it weren't for the two men next to her, it is estimated that she would be able to take off the close-fitting vest and shorts.

Seeing that Meow Lori looked completely relaxed, Lu Li couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and reminded softly: "Lily! Hurry up and put on your clothes after a while! You must know that the entrance to the ruins is not a safe place, and a few monsters may rush out of it at any time." ā€

"Got it! I'll pay attention!" the girl replied without looking back.

"Rest assured, my companion is exploring this underground ruin, no matter what monsters are inside, it is impossible to rush up, so you can rest assured and boldly. The young man sitting on the ground assured with confidence.

Lu Li smiled disapprovingly, did not refute this sentence, took care of himself to replenish some water, and then began to enjoy the cool while admiring the blurred murals on both sides of the ruins corridor.

For him, in addition to improving his strength and hunting for crystals, dungeon exploration also has a benefit, that is, tourism in disguise.

Here you can enjoy the steep mountains, clear streams, mirror-like lakes, endless grasslands, deserts and primeval forests, as well as all kinds of ancient ruins.

It is said that before the Great War of Gods and Demons, there were many strange intelligent races in the underworld, and they also created brilliant civilizations, but then they all disappeared completely with the Demon King being sealed.

No one knows where they went, let alone if they actually existed, but adventurers can find something strange in the ancient ruins scattered around the dungeon.

Of course, it is also possible that it has long been reduced to the lair of terrible monsters......

Due to the age of the past, the original exquisite murals and reliefs have long been severely corroded under the wind and sand, and Lu Li can only roughly judge from some incomplete parts that this is likely to be some kind of place for sacrifice, and a large number of strange-looking humanoids are painted on the walls, kneeling towards something.

But unfortunately, the most important second half is gone.

Stroking the severely desertified walls, Lu Li couldn't help but muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "It's really ancient and vicissitudes, it is estimated that if those archaeologists on the earth see this, I am afraid that they will die of a cerebral hemorrhage in excitement, right?"

With that, he took out his mobile phone, turned on the video recording function, and after a while, he took pictures of the entire vicinity of the entrance of the ruins, inside and out.

The boy was obviously aware of these strange behaviors, and asked curiously, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm recording these texts and murals, and I'm going to take them back and take the time to study them, maybe I can solve the mystery of the disappearance of the inhabitants of the underground. Lu Li replied with a smile.

Scholars from so many countries on the mainland have tried to decipher what was found in the ruins, but in the end they all failed. Because the words used by the underground people have no connection with the words used by the people on the surface of the earth, you are doing useless work. The boy explained with a look on his face that I was good for you.

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively: "It's okay, I'm only researching this out of interest, and I don't necessarily have to get results." ā€

"Strange idea, but whatever you like. ā€

......

Just as the two were talking, Meow Lori finally cooled down, slowly put on her clothes, socks, and boots again, and then took out a box of peanut candy from her backpack and stuffed it into her mouth in small bites.

Walking in the middle of the desert can be quite physically demanding, and in addition to paying attention to hydration and salt, high-energy sugar is also essential.

After photographing the murals and texts around the ruins, Lu Li hurriedly turned off his mobile phone, carefully packed it up, and took out a compressed biscuit and ate it.

As the sun began to deflect directly above to the west, the vast sea of sand finally ushered in the hottest time of the day, and he could even observe the rising hot air currents with the naked eye when he hid in the shade, and if he put an egg in the sand now, it would be cooked in a few minutes at most.

In fact, such a high temperature is no longer something that ordinary people can bear, so Lu Li will definitely not leave easily until the temperature starts to drop, he doesn't want to try what it's like to hike in a hot environment of more than fifty or sixty degrees.

After filling their stomachs, the two of them, who felt a little tired, closed their eyes and began to take a nap, intending to take the opportunity to recover some strength and prepare for the next journey.

But less than half an hour after they lay down, they heard a slight vibration from the ground, and Meow Lori immediately jumped up vigilantly, staring at the depths of the ruins with wide eyes.

"Lily, have you found anything?" Lu Li also woke up and asked with a serious expression.

"Meow! there's a voice! from underground!" Meow Lori explained, clutching her weapon tightly.

"Damn it!"

When the young man heard this, his face changed drastically, and he didn't even say hello, grabbed the two-handed sword in his arms and ran towards the depths of the passage, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Meow, uncle, are we going to keep up?" Meow Lori blinked excitedly.

It can be seen that her curiosity is starting to stir again, and she can't wait to start an exciting adventure...... (To be continued.) )
