Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Usefulness of the Chilin Gopher

Because of the nature of quicksand, the abrupt basin in the desert does not last long. As time passes, the sand and dirt blown by the wind will soon bury the place, and it will be countless times more difficult to enter the ruins at that time.

It's been a few months since Tym left the Gravel Wasteland, and the basin that was hundreds of meters deep has been filled with gravel, and most of the tunnels of the first layer of ruins have been buried. But it also makes it delusional for anyone who wants to sneak into the ruins.

The Baroque circled the basin of ruins for miles and had to give up. He had arrived too late, and there was no trace of any ruins from the outside, except for the yellow and brown gravel, and the only way to understand it was to go through the only entrance.

The team that cut down the sand coconut trees to protect the only entrance was called the [Iron Fang Adventure Team], and it was very powerful, they had hundreds of people, and at least a third of the Fighting Spirit Warriors. Although it still can't be compared with the thousands of adventurers around them, they don't dare to monopolize it, but it can also let them take the initiative. Any adventurer who wants to enter the ruins will need to make a deal with them...... Whoever finds the treasure must give a third of the Iron Fang adventurers.

Baroque followed Tym and saw with his own eyes a small adventure team of more than ten people preparing to enter the entrance of the ruins, and the people of the Iron Fang Adventure Team counted all the items they were carrying outside the entrance, and when they came out again, they had to pick them up again.

"What do we have on us? Remember not to hide it, or simply stay outside first, otherwise once you enter the ruins, if you come out and they find out, then don't want to come back." "Tame told his teammates, but it was mainly to Baroque. After all, they are all poor. Even the journey to the gravel wasteland was Baroque money for food and drink.

Baroque patted his somewhat shabby clothes, and apart from the nondescript blade that hung an arm-length sword from his waist, which was not a sword or a dagger, there were only six swarthy and inconspicuous iron rings on his hands. That kind of ugly broken ring even Hagen and others can't look at. However, Baroque explains that it is the relics of his former teammates on the expedition, as they all died during an expedition somewhere, so Baroque left their only relic as a memento.

Each carrying a small cloth bag followed Tame to the entrance of the ruins. One of the Iron Fang Adventurers walked over and looked at Tyme's shivering face. couldn't help but show a contemptuous expression: "Want to enter the ruins and make a fortune?" Hey, just with guys like you, didn't you go in and die for nothing?"

"My lord, maybe our luck may not be good. Tim smiled and said, "And whether our luck is good or bad, it's not a loss for your Iron Fang adventure team, is it?"

The Iron Fang Adventurer didn't bother to talk to Tym, so he casually pointed at them and said, "Old rule, what did you all bring?" The people of the Iron Fang Adventure Team still wish that everyone was secretly carrying something else, so when they come out, they will find out, and it will be public property!

A few of them each had a most ordinary long sword, and Baroque flashed six black rings on his hands, and then they had nothing but the cloth bags on their hands.

"What's in the bag?" asked the iron-toothed adventurer.

"Oh, a few fat gophers we caught, they taste good, why don't you keep a few for you?" Tyme pulled out the Chilin gopher that had been fat, and smiled at the man.

Everyone knows that the people of the Duchy of Dalintan are known as the orcs of the human race. Notoriously vulgar and barbaric, they have the custom of eating raw meat. When this person saw the fat gopher, he was really disgusted and hurriedly waved his hand. Disgusted, he said, "Get out of the way, get out of here!" Tyme and the others then passed through the protection of the canopy of the sand coconut tree, lit the torches that had been prepared long ago, and got into the only entrance to the ruins.

Tyme was not mistaken, the tunnel was very low, and Baroque had to bend very low to move forward. I couldn't walk hundreds of meters, and I was tired and out of breath. Fortunately, I happened to enter a tunnel node, where the space is relatively open, and you can straighten up and relax.

"Boss Tem, how are we going to get the Kirin gophers to find their way?" Baroque asked, gasping for breath.

"Not yet. Tim looked at the environment and said, "All the surrounding pits are marked, indicating that they have been explored, and we need to continue to dig deeper to find a place that has not yet been searched, and then release the Chilling Gopher." ”

Baroque had no choice but to continue to bend over and follow Tyme into the tunnel. At the same time, taking advantage of the gap in front of them, they quietly released the four brothers of Don Wolf and let the four guys explore the environment. Anyway, within a certain distance, they can communicate with each other, and they will not be separated.

Baroque found that the walls of these tunnels were very smooth, and all of them were made of hard, light white rock. All the stones are the same size and have a very standard character. As we go deeper, these tunnels become more and more numerous, dense as spider webs. And he also noticed that the cobweb-like tunnels were not chaotic, but followed some kind of pattern. He was familiar with this pattern, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and Baroque couldn't help but use his hands to explore and touch the corners of those rocks, even after countless years, there were still no gaps, representing the superb skills of the ancients at that time. Suddenly, Baroque felt a bulge in the corner, and pried the thing out with his sword, wiping away the ash and revealing a faint blue sheen. Tame and the others had already come over, and Hagen shouted in surprise: "It's kyanite gold, it's a big piece, it weighs three or four pounds, hey, this piece is worth ten gold coins, even if we can't find anything, it's not a trip in vain." Aragon, yours is true. ”

Saying okay, anything he finds belongs to everyone, and Baroque casually handed it to Hagen: "I'm too tired to bend over and walk, can you help me carry it?"

Hagen was very happy, took the azurite gold, looked at it again and again, and then reluctantly put it into the animal skin bag on his back. Moving on, they followed the marks left by the previous explorers for a long time. Finally met another adventurer. Peers are enemies, and those adventurers look at Tim and the others with fierce eyes, looking for what they have gained. Tym calmly patted the shriveled leather pouch on his body, avoiding the guys who were obviously going to eat black. Turn into another tunnel and continue deeper.

When the adventurers found out that Tim and the others had nothing to gain, one of them couldn't help but exclaim mockingly, "Hey, guys, the front of the road you are walking has collapsed, and more than a dozen people have been stoned to death a few days ago. Do you want to go to the funeral?"

Hagen and the others immediately froze, a little hesitant. Baroque moved in his heart and urged in a low voice: "Keep going." Tyme nodded as well, agreeing with Baroque's words, and did not stop, moving on. Behind him came the wanton laughter and curses of those adventurers.

Those men were right, they walked for more than half an hour, the markings on the wall were gone, and in front of them was a pile of rubble, blocking the passage. Sure enough, the tunnel collapsed. Hagen and the others looked dazed, but Tym smiled and quietly untied his pocket, grabbed a chilin gopher, tied it to its tail with a thin rope, and stuffed it into the gap in the collapsed rock. Soon, the chilin gopher disappeared from the gap, and the string in his hand kept going deeper. The speed was not fast at first, but after a few minutes, suddenly the rope was quickly pulled in. Tim tugged at the rope and thought about it for a moment. Turning back to the baroque, he smiled: "These rocks are not thick, only more than ten feet, we can move them." ”

I don't understand, it's clear that this is a unique craft of Taim. Baroque chose to believe him. Together with Hagen and others, he moved stones outward. Those dozens of pounds of stones were like children's building blocks in Baroque's hands, and they quickly dug into it very deeply, and Hagen and others behind him were secretly shocked, shocked by the strength of Baroque, and the five of them could not move more stones than Baroque himself.

The people outside were all liars, and there were no dead bodies underneath. Digging for more than half an hour. Push away a stone, and suddenly scatter it with a thud. Sure enough, as Tim had calculated, the rocks were only more than ten feet thick. 、The front is dark and deep, and it has been passed.

In that darkness, Baroque knew that the eternal night of the four wolf brothers had gone around in front of them from another passage. And it has made discoveries, is calling other brothers and Baroque.

Tyme was still tugging on the rope and dragging the gopher back, he seemed to have a special communication skill with the gopher, and after muttering for a long time, he untied the rope and let the gopher gopher go. Soon the Chilin gopher disappeared into the darkness, and Baroque immediately warned the [Eternal Night] in the darkness ahead not to bite the gopher to death, and to see how Taim could use the gopher to find his way.

They carried their torches and continued on their way, and since this was already unexplored territory,2 no one knew what the danger was. All had weapons in their hands. Every once in a while, Tame would let go of a gopher ....... By the time there was only the last one of the ten gophers in their hands, they had already gone far, far away.

And Baroque finally remembered why it felt familiar............ The tunnels here are actually some kind of veins, if you look at them from the air, you will find that they are similar to the veins of the magic array, or the totem array, circling and entangled, but they definitely do not coincide, in fact, they are moving within a radius of several miles. This surface tunnel is composed of a huge altar totem array, which has many similarities with the pattern of the sealed totem circle that Baroque copied in the gray dwarf cavern tunnel.

It seems that there is a very high probability that this is the royal court of King Maudun, and Baroque can't help but get excited again. Knowing what the first layer is, Baroque has a goal, since it is a star totem array, then it is bound to place totem poles on the six points of the hexagram. Those six points may be the gateway to the next level.

It was the discovery of a closed chamber-like place that summoned Baroque in the Eternal Night.

"Okay, the Chilin gopher has been discovered!" At this time, Tim finally exclaimed in surprise, and immediately led everyone into the darkness, he was not worried about the dense cobweb-like tunnel, he was not worried about whether he would get lost, so he turned left and right, and actually found the closed secret room that the wolf found in the eternal night.

Baroque was a little surprised, it seems that even small people have their own magical abilities. (To be continued.) )
