As the earth elemental golem dissipated, a large cloud of experience energy flew out.

Under normal circumstances, the experience energy shared between the two should be about the same. But Hu Siming's output was already higher than Shi Niu's, and coupled with the effect of the energy saver grabbing an additional 15% of experience, Hu Siming was forced to take more than one-third, and suddenly gained nearly seventy points of experience.

Seeing the record of the school emblem, Hu Siming really felt that his strength was soaring.

If he can still encounter a few such high-level blue-name monsters in the next search, he may really be able to directly upgrade to lv9 and then hit the elite level.

"There are drops. ”

While Hu Si was secretly excited, Shi Niu groped and found an intermediate material from under the soil that had not completely dissipated: the cracked earth elemental core.

The recycling price offered by the academy is 100 universal points.

The materials and props found in the ruins must be handed over to the Libra community. But the spoils obtained from the battle during the exploration can naturally be taken by the two of them. Of course, for the current Hu Siming, these 100 general points are not a large number, not to mention being divided by two people.

Shi Niu didn't care much about this material.

Although the two met for the first time, they had the same relationship behind them, and they were both recommended by Libra seniors. In this case, it is impossible for them to embezzle and defraud because of a small profit. As long as both of them know what they dropped, they will naturally negotiate the distribution after exploring the ruins in the end.

"Look what's in the drawer. ”

After casually putting away the materials, Hu Siming looked at the desk that had been lucky not to be affected in the battle. Since the original owner specially left the means here, it proves that most of them have something of value in it. Even if it ends up being taken away by the Libra community, at least it will satisfy curiosity.

Shi Niu was also a little concerned, nodded at Hu Siming, and cautiously stepped forward to completely open the drawer.

This time, there was no change.

Shi Niu paused for a moment, confirmed that it was safe, and reached out to take out a heavy magic book from inside. The magic book is written in an unknown material, and the cover is inlaid with small gemstones in the shape of a six-pointed star, sealing the power of the book. Although the size is similar to Hu Simin's Draxal magic book, the things from the ancient ruins are also of extraordinary value no matter how you think about it.

The two tried to flip through it, but found that the pages were so enchanted by the power of the six-pointed star that they couldn't open it at all. The explanation provided by the academy only says that it is a magic book from the era of the Arcane Empire, and the specific information needs to be further identified. Seeing this, Hu Siming and Shi Niu could only put away the magic book and move on.

In the next half of the floor, the two did not gain more.

If you want to talk about valuable things, those works of art, antiques and whatever, you can barely count it. It's just that the academy doesn't accept these things. All the two of them need is something related to magic, which is very rare. It wasn't until the two of them circled the hall of the six-pointed star and returned to the corridor on the right that they found a valuable object again.

It was a magic robe left by an unknown mage.

According to Hu Siming's understanding, the six-grid equipment slot is the equipment in the online game, and the jewelry system is the fashion worn outside. This magic robe from the era of the Arcane Empire can undoubtedly be classified into the academy's jewelry system. Although he didn't know anything about the Arcane Empire, he could still feel the quality of something. If you're not mistaken, this magic robe has the level of a rare accessory.

It is a big grade higher than the dragon pattern steel sword in Hu Siming's hand!

Unfortunately, its ownership is also that of the Libra community.

Hu Siming shook his head, put away his magic robe, and walked back to the hall on the first floor with Shi Niu along the corridor on the right. The moment they emerged from the cloister, they were once again attacked by the Golden Guard. There are also two of them, and even the standing positions are symmetrical with the two statues in the cloister on the left.

The result is naturally unsuspenseful.

In addition to wasting a little time for the two of them, it didn't have any effect, but made Hu Siming one step closer to lv9.

"So, on the second floor?"

At the end of the battle, Hu Siming followed him up the spiraling staircase.

From the information left on the gold guard, it can be seen that this is indeed the alchemy room. But in the entire floor, the two of them didn't see anything related. It wasn't until they went up to the second floor that they really found something that matched the real yàn room. The large room facing the stairs is the real yàn room with house number 01.

This extra-large practical room, which can accommodate multiple people to practice alchemy together, is intended for ordinary mages and magic apprentices.

After carefully pushing open the door and entering, the two of them inhaled in unison, as if they had come to the chemistry room of the real-world university: all kinds of crystal flasks, test tubes, crucibles, and magic equipment for unknown purposes, and in the cabinets and shelves next to them, there were also a lot of raw materials, as well as finished or semi-finished alchemy reagents.

As you can see, the mothballing here should be quite sudden. It can be seen from the traces left on the real table that there was more than one person working on it at that time. And then what happened, as a result of a hasty departure.

Due to the fact that there were too many items left, even if Hu Siming and Shi Niu emptied the storage compartment, they could not take them all away, so they could only close the door again, mark the place, and go back and let the Libra master clean it up by himself.

After leaving this No. 1 real yàn room, the two of them still searched one by one using the method of the first floor. In the next room, the specifications gradually increased, and there were a lot more magical equipment and magic arrays that felt tall at a glance. Of course, there are many more things left by the mages here than the first floor, but there is hardly any danger.

This made Hu Siming a little disappointed.

Others who explore the ruins, of course, want to be as safe as possible. But this relic belongs to the Libra community, and it has nothing to do with Hu Siming for the time being. He came here mainly to take this opportunity to hunt for experience and improve his level. As a result, except for a few not-so-fierce battles that broke out on the first floor, nothing was found on the second floor.

Is it really necessary to wait until the end of the summer vacation and return to school early to hunt before you can break through?

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly stepped on gravel under his feet and couldn't help but slip. With his basic lv3 footwork, even if he is distracted, he will stabilize his body for the first time. However, this gravel that should not have appeared made Hu Siming a little surprised. After walking two sections along the bend of the six-pointed star, there was more and more rubble on the ground, and even cracks faintly appeared.

All signs point to the direction of 12 o'clock in the six-pointed star corridor.

According to Hu Siming and Shi Niu's inference, it should be the highest specification among the various real rooms.

"What happened?"

With a little curiosity, the two walked over quickly. Here, they saw cobweb-like cracks in the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls. The main entrance of the alchemy room, which had been magically processed and was strong enough to bear the power of Wan Jun, had been half shattered, and the remaining small part hung crookedly on the threshold. Near and inside the doorway, black traces of unknown alchemy potions can be vaguely seen.

Apparently, there was once a violent explosion here.

Hu Siming observed the scene for a while, and his brain made up the situation of the ruins: a certain senior mage didn't know what to refine here, but there was an accident and a violent explosion occurred. The other mages and magic apprentices were alarmed and rushed over. Later, I didn't know what I found, and quickly evacuated. As a result, before the follow-up was handled, the cataclysm occurred, and the Arcane Empire collapsed overnight, and the place was completely forgotten.

What the truth is is already difficult to investigate. After all, this highest-level alchemy room had already been crushed under the impact of the explosion, and there was nothing useful left, and even the mage himself might have hung up. In this case, Hu Siming can only make such a possible inference based on the scene.

It's no wonder that from the outside, this hall felt a little crumbling, and the feeling was that there was such a violent explosion inside. Fortunately, this building has been specially reinforced with magic, otherwise it would have been reduced to ruins in the explosion if it was replaced by an ordinary building, and it would have been impossible to preserve it until now.

"Let's go. ”

Seeing that there was really nothing to see here, Shi Niu said two words lightly, starting from the corridor on the right side and winding back.

Along the way, there are some gains, but that's all. There are no more guards, after all, this is a place where mages gather, and they are the most powerful force in their own right. The control core and crystal ball explained by the Libra seniors have not been seen.

"It seems that there is still a basement. ”

This six-pointed star hall has only two floors, and there is a rooftop above, and there is nothing, so the possible control of the magic array can only be underground. The question is, where is the entrance to the basement?

"What do you think?"

Hu Siming asked Shi Niu's opinion.

Shi Niu pondered quietly for a moment, and said to Hu Siming: "I think on the first floor, maybe we are negligent." ”

"I think so too. ”

Hu Siming agreed with Shi Niu's opinion, after all, the entire second floor was an alchemy room, and he didn't see anything suspicious. If there is a staircase or teleportation array leading to the ground, it is most likely on the first floor.

After agreeing on their opinions, the two walked down together and began to search again.

This time, they searched many of the rooms on the first floor, and even knocked on some places where there might be secret rooms, but there was still no clue. However, Hu Siming and Shi Niu found several suspicious rooms during the search.

"Maybe ......"

Shi Niu pressed his finger against his chin, groaned slightly, and took out the true vision potion given by the club.

As he drank the potion, a stream of cool energy poured into his eyes, and his vision became different in an instant. In the empty room at three o'clock on the first floor, Shi Niu saw the transparent magic enchantment in the center of the room, and a smile appeared on his face.

The entrance to the basement level, right here!
