Chapter 239: Exploring the Ruins

"It's useless."

Next to Sean, the seventeenth princess had a gloomy face, and before she had gained the slightest, she had already killed one of her subordinates, and when she saw that Sean wanted to attack the ground of the passage with thunder and lightning and activate the mechanism inside, she shook her head and said.

"These traps are only triggered when they encounter a living thing."

"It only triggers when you encounter a living thing?"

Sean looked at the seventeenth princess in disbelief, how can the organ distinguish between living and dead things?

"This kind of mechanism has been encountered in a ruin in the Empire, and although until now, the Empire has not figured out why this is happening, but after testing, it is true."

Princess Seventeen's face was gloomy.

"Your Highness, what now?"

The brown-haired middle-aged man looked at the seventeenth princess with a slight brow.

The mechanism in the passage needs living creatures to be activated, which is troublesome, the passage is so long, you can't see the end at a glance, how many living creatures are needed to trigger the mechanism, if it takes a lot, it will inevitably take a long time, but obviously, the seventeenth princess, who is the princess of the empire, cannot be allowed to stay in other kingdoms for time.

The seventeenth princess showed hesitation on her face, among this kind of ruins, it is very likely that there are items used by ancient civilizations, and it is definitely impossible for her to give up like this, and finally she decided.

"You guys stay here, I'll go in and investigate!"

"Your Highness, no!"

The brown-haired middle-aged man and the other guards all spoke out to stop him.

"Your Highness Cessia, this mechanism is too dangerous, don't venture into it!"

Even Kiplin, of the Silvermoon Kingdom. Harris and Simona. Both of them hurriedly spoke up.

This mechanism is so dangerous, if it is not good for the seventeenth princess to die in the territory of the Silver Moon Kingdom, it will definitely be a catastrophe, and the Silver Moon Kingdom is bound to bear the wrath of the Colburn Empire.

"I have a superb knight's costume from my father, so my safety shouldn't be a big problem."

Princess Seventeen explained.

"However, this is the remnants of an ancient civilization, and I don't know if there are any more powerful mechanisms in itβ€”"

The brown-haired middle-aged Karl tried to stop it, but was interrupted by the seventeenth princess.

"Needless to say, I've already decided."

"Count me in!"

Next to him, Sean suddenly said, this kind of opportunity to explore the ruins of ancient civilizations, he naturally couldn't miss it.

"...... you?"

The seventeenth princess subconsciously wanted to stop it, but when she thought of the terrifying defense force field of the other party, she gave up, and the terrifying defense of the other party might even be above her in a superb knight's costume, so naturally there was no reason to stop it.

Eventually, everyone else stayed in the cultivation room, except for Sean and Princess Seventeen who walked towards the passage they had seen before.

Airplanes!

On the white knight's costume on the seventeenth princess, golden lines appeared, emitting a bright golden light, and then, an orange-red flame shield appeared around her body, which was controlled by her to shrink to within twenty or thirty centimeters around her body.

Airplanes!

Sean, on the other hand, was even simpler, after using his strength talent and defense talent, he summoned a defensive force field, and suddenly a slightly dim defensive force field appeared outside his body.

If anyone who saw Sean's battle with Evelyn's head of the Evelyn family last time looked closely, they would find that the defensive stance attached to Sean at this time was a little dimmer than it was then, and it had a heavy visual sense like matter.

Bang Bang Bang!

The metallic crash kept ringing out.

Sure enough, what the seventeenth princess said before that "it will only be triggered when encountering living creatures" was right, as soon as the two walked into the passage, there were immediately a large number of spikes, swarming towards the two, dense, and people's eyelids jumped for a while.

However, at this time, neither Sean nor Princess Seventeen's defenses could break through these spikes.

Bang Bang Bang!

The spikes, which were half a meter long, hit the two of them, and they were like raindrops hitting metal, and they were easily ejected by the defense of the two people.

Da, da, da!

The two of them walked inside with dense spikes like rain, and the speed of both of them was not fast, after all, they didn't know what kind of mechanism was in front of them, and what the power of the mechanism was, so they could only move forward cautiously.

Ten meters, twenty meters.

After walking twenty meters, the spikes stopped shooting, and the two of them paused slightly, and after confirming that no other mechanism had been triggered, they continued to walk forward, and the empty passage was extremely silent, only the footsteps of the two of them.

Neither of them dared to be careless, and just because there was no mechanism triggered now does not mean that there will be no one in the future.

Following a slightly curved passage, after walking almost a few hundred meters, a room about the size of the cultivation room appeared, and in it was a large transparent vessel several meters high, containing a pale yellow liquid, and in some cases a piece of meat of various sizes.

These pieces of flesh, of different shapes and types, feel like they have been cut from many kinds of fierce beasts.

Sean couldn't help but look at Princess Seventeen, wanting to know what kind of place this was.

"Don't look at me, I don't know."

Sensing Sean's gaze, Princess Seventeen shook her head.

"The empire knows so little about this civilization, this civilization is like a mystery, and until now, we don't know what their cultivation methods are."

At the end of the room, another passage appeared in front of them, and the two of them walked in with their feet raised, and the moment they walked in.

Whew!

Tongues of dark blue fire appeared, quickly spreading throughout the passage, enveloping Sean and Princess Seventeen in it.

Both of them paused in their footsteps, but after making sure that the blue flames could not hurt them, the two continued to walk, and after another twenty meters, the flames also disappeared.

The two of them went all the way forward, the passage was not straight, but slightly curved downward, and they felt that they were leading to the very bottom of the mountain.

Later, they came across several large rooms like before, with unknown utensils walking in them, and mechanisms every time they walked through the room into another passage.

There are many types ...... with thunder and lightning, and there are also corrosive fogs.

After passing through another room, the two of them entered a passage again, but the next moment, one of them rushed forward violently, instantly crossing a distance of more than twenty meters, and quickly passed through the area of the mechanism, while looking at the flame defense shield on his body with palpitations in his eyes.

I saw that the orange-red flame shield on her body had been corroded to only a thin layer, and there was an unstable flickering situation, which was a sign that the flame shield was too seriously consumed and was about to shatter.

This person is none other than the Seventeenth Princess.

Da-da-da-da!

A footstep came from behind, and she looked up and was shocked.

"Are you alright?"

Just now, as soon as they entered this passage, a cloud of black liquid sprayed at them, spraying on them.

The first time it was sprayed, the flame cover on her body showed a violent attrition, but fortunately, she reacted in time and sped up to rush through the mechanism area, otherwise, she would have died at this time.

With the corrosiveness of that black liquid, if the flame shield shattered and was sprayed onto her body, she couldn't think of a second possibility except death.

But what shocked her was that Sean, who was also attacked by the black liquid and stayed longer than in the mechanism area, after passing through the mechanism area, the defensive force field on his body could not be seen at all.

"...... your defensive stance?"

Looking at Sean, Princess Seventeen's eyes were full of shock.

The superb knight's costume given by the emperor on her body, the flame shield inspired by her has the defensive power of the first to enter the title legend, but even so, it is still seriously damaged in a short period of time and almost broken.

And Sean, who has been in the passage for a longer time than her, but after coming out, the defensive force field on his body shows no signs of attrition, so how strong will the opponent's defense force field be?

Median title legend? Titled Legend?

The defensive force field was re-infused into the golden lines on the knight's suit, and after a few moments, the flame cover on the seventeenth princess slowly recovered, and the two of them walked forward along the passage.

Soon after, a slightly smaller room appeared in front of him, more like a living place than the previous "laboratory" room, as things like beds and chairs were clearly visible in it.

When they came here, the eyes of the two of them were looking around, because they found that there was no door on the opposite side of this room, that is, this is the last room, whether there can be a harvest, it depends on this room, in the previous room, they did not have the slightest gain.

"Well, ...... this?"

Sean's gaze swept over a long table made of unknown material, and he reached for a book in a slightly surprised way.

On the cover of the book was a twisted text that Sean had never seen before, and when it was opened, it was the same inside, and it was clear that the words of ancient civilizations were not the same as those of today.

But this is not what shocked Sean, what shocked Sean was that this book was actually a paper book, that is, the era in which the ancient civilization was located, already had papermaking.

And from the time of the ancient civilization to the present, after an extremely long time, the paper did not show signs of yellowing, and even the handwriting on it did not fade in the slightest, the paper used in this book is technically absolutely beyond today's papermaking, after all, even the Colburn Empire, in order to preserve the book for a long time, will choose leather as the carrier of the record, it can be seen that the empire's attainments in papermaking are definitely not high.

Summoning the dimensional space and stuffing the books into it, Sean continued to search the room.

Suddenly, Sean's eyes lit up, and he crouched down, and his hand reached behind the leg of a table against the wall, and a metal bracelet appeared in his hand that could be opened and closed.

With just one glance, Sean's pupils shrank, and without the slightest hesitation, he hurriedly threw it into the dimensional space.
