Chapter 32: The Ruins (I)
A dozen vultures hovered over the heads of the four of them, they had not seen any new life since the ruins in front of them suddenly appeared half a month ago, and the intense hunger overwhelmed the threat brought by the other party.
One of the vultures suddenly swooped down and swooped down towards the bald young Ace. Not to be outdone, several other vultures swooped down on the four at the same time, their sharp beaks looking eerie and dangerous in the sunlight.
However, the next moment there were only a few fluttering feathers left in the air, and the bald Ace punched out, and the air sonic boom instantly blew the four vultures into minced meat at the same time, and the two farther away broke their wings and fell to the ground.
"These two can be used for dinner!" Ace excitedly picked up the vultures that had fallen to the ground, and the other vultures were startled by the scene in front of him and immediately scattered and fled.
"Whatever you want" Lin Fei dusted off the meat crumbs on his body in disgust and looked at the ruins in front of him.
The strangest thing about this world is the ruins that are constantly being discovered, as if the world has no borders, and there are always endless ruins in the fringe areas, in which you can find all kinds of precious resources and antiquities of high artistic value.
What's more, as the ruins are thoroughly explored, a piece of land or water will suddenly appear around as if it had been explored by radar, which is why many scholars refer to their world as the Endless Continent.
The original intention of the establishment of the Purging Guild was to gather extraordinary adventurers and continue to explore outwards to find more living space for human and non-human creatures. It's just that over the years, people gradually lost interest in the emerging ruins, so the purge union took on other functions.
The Silver Sanctuary is one of the ruins that was explored and occupied hundreds of years ago.
"Friend, are you interested in giving us this piece?"
Not far away, on the back slope of the mountain, a team of transcendents who looked very well equipped, and the man standing at the front swept the scimitar in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled.
"This is Jason, the captain of the Evil Spirit Squad, who has the blood of the Three-Eyed Giant, and it is said that each member of their team has one or more transcendent items obtained from the ruins, and can gain power by killing people, according to the records of the guild, it should barely have a fourth-level strength." Varian quietly explained to the trio.
"It's just that the recent record seems to have barely touched the threshold of level five."
"Let it be given to you, what are the benefits?" Ace immediately replied.
To be honest, Lin Fei likes Ace's stunned character very much, and he can say everything he wants to say but is inconvenient to say.
"The good thing is that you can save your life! The dwarf next to Jason shouted, his eyes bulging out and his lips so thick that he felt sick to vomit just by looking at him.
Jason's cutlass glowed green, ready to move.
"You're so..."
"Okay, let's quit." Lin Fei interrupted Ace indifferently, and then motioned for the three of them to slowly retreat.
"A little bit of eyesight, but it looks like it's quite good, but it's a soft egg."
"Hahaha"
"Rubbish!" The evil spirit team saw Lin Fei retreat and foamed at the mouth. Ignoring Lin Fei and the others, he walked straight to the entrance of the ruins.
Boom! A giant sword suddenly appeared in front of Lin Fei.
Lin Fei raised it with one hand and directly pinched the giant sword, and the muscles of the fat woman on the opposite side immediately swelled up.
However, the greatsword could not advance even a millimeter.
"I said I'd quit." Lin Fei lowered his head and looked at the giantess who was only half a head shorter than himself.
Then with a swing of his right hand, the giant sword was thrown out several meters along with the woman and smashed to the ground.
"I hope you didn't deceive us." Jason looked at Lin Fei fixedly, the muscular giantess got up and returned behind him, Lin Fei controlled it very well, and the other party was not injured.
Jason was the first to turn around and walk into the door, followed by the dwarf and two skinny male vampires, the giantess turned her head and stared at Lin Fei vigorously, and then disappeared in front of several people.
"Netflix-sama, why?" Ace stomped his foot hard.
"With your strength, what is a fifth-level transcendent."
"Netflix-sama naturally has his reasons, don't worry." Aaron's expression remained unchanged, and he replied steadily, he now had unreserved trust in Lin Fei.
"The evil spirit team has been on assassination missions for a long time, and it is not normal for them to suddenly come to explore the ruins." Varian spoke suddenly.
"Maybe they came in to hide from the enemy."
"It doesn't look like a good person, that dwarf and woman are so disgusting, I don't dare let them touch my body." Ace twitched his head again, and suddenly said something else.
"The ruins are not necessarily safe, there may be other dangers."
"Let them explore the trail first, after all, this is the first time we've really set foot in the ruins." Lin Fei ignored everyone's discussion, his face was expressionless, and he silently calculated the time when the other party entered in his heart.
......
Throat!
The black humanoid colossus held the axe in both hands, and slashed violently in the dark stone hall, and the huge impact directly cut off the stone pillars around it in two, and then the giant axe turned instantly in defiance of the laws of physics, and slashed with the giantess's giant sword.
"Flesh Amplification!" The giantess held her sword in both hands and immediately unleashed her inheritance martial arts, barely blocking the attack of the black colossus, and she suddenly felt a trace of fishy air in her throat.
"Running water accelerates! Power rushes! The other two martial arts were immediately released, and the giantess's body immediately became more agile and dodged the colossus's blow.
"Dead dwarf, help!" She looked at the dwarf watching the play.
"Shut up fat woman, I'm looking for a moment." The dwarf's fingers suddenly lengthened, and ten half-human-long metal spikes appeared from the fingertips, and the dwarf leaped with great force, jumped onto the Colossus's shoulders, and clamped his legs between the Colossus's head.
"Swift Spike!" Ten spikes stabbed into the fingertips of the Colossus's neck and shoulders, making a squeaking metallic sound.
The Colossus's speed immediately slowed.
"Bloodfield, Claw." The two vampire brothers, who were motionless in the distance, suddenly struck out, their black claws slashing at the Colossus's eyes and lower body.
"Intruder, expulsion." A mechanical synthesized sound came from the Colossus's chest, and his eyes violently emitted white light, and a shockwave was released from his chest, immediately knocking several people away.
"Damn, this thing is estimated to be as strong as level four." The giantess spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up again, her giant sword blocking the long axe on the opposite side.
"Joint spikes!" The dwarf also rolled and jumped, spikes emitting white light and stabbing at the Colossus's knees.
"Captain Jason, don't just look at it, we can't beat it!" The dwarf yelled into the shadows.
"You're really noisy, Freddy! I'm looking for their power source! Jason immediately appeared from the shadows, "Evil spirits possess! The scimitar slashed at the Colossus, and the moment the two came into contact, a green light appeared from the edge of the scimitar blade and burrowed into the crack above the Colossus's head.
"The intruder... The Colossus struggled to get up, but in vain, and gradually became paralyzed in place.
"The captain is great, the captain is great."
"Shut up, go find the Black Stone, and take advantage of the fact that no one else knows that the ruins are different from before." Jason slapped the dwarf, and the other party deftly dodged and jumped to the side.
"It won't be long before everyone else will find out about the existence of the Blackstone, and we must take advantage of this time to collect the Blackstone and become stronger. Got it! Jason yelled at the others and slashed open the stone door next to him.
"Understood, understood!"
......
Lin Fei calculated the time and led the three of them into the gate.
As soon as you enter the gate, the light immediately becomes very dark, and there are many corpses and metal parts scattered on both sides of the road, and it is clear that there has been a battle here not long ago.
Ignoring the various debris around them, the four of them moved forward in silence, and soon found that the road in front of them was blocked by a huge stone slab.
The surrounding walls are filled with depressions, and all sorts of unrecognizable vines and plants are crowded in the depressions and gaps.
Aaron stepped forward and pushed away with both hands the huge stone slabs that blocked the way.
"It should be here" Before Aaron could finish speaking, two black lights flashed from behind the stone slab.
Boom.
The two stones collided with the black light, and Aaron realized that the black light was two poisoned arrows.
"Be careful." Lin Fei dusted off his hands. The physical attributes that far exceed ordinary people make him very sensitive to his five senses in the shadows, and all kinds of small organs and sounds can be easily found.
"Understood, thank you, Mr. Netflix." Aaron nodded gratefully and kicked the slate in front of him away.
"Looks like they didn't believe what I said." Lin Fei smiled, he could see that the mechanism was very new, and it should have just been arranged.
"Mainly, the boss, you don't look like you are talking..."Ace muttered quietly on the side.
The crowd moved on.
A cold wind blew in, the side walls collapsed, and a golden humanoid colossus slowly stepped out of the middle, blocking the four of them.
"Intruder, purge."
"Aaron Ace, let me see the strength of the two of you in actual combat." Lin Fei estimated the power of the golden colossus and stepped back to the door.
......
"Sure enough, there's one too." Jason held up a palm-sized black prismatic jade stone with black smoke in both hands, and the stone seemed to release black smoke rhythmically like life.
"Such a big black stone... This feeling of power... It's wonderful. Jason took a deep puff of the black smoke, his face flushed.
"Hahahahaha!" Jason laughed wildly as if he was nervous, a trace of black fluid coming out of the corner of his eye, and his entire mouth opened wide, revealing the sharp, shiny teeth inside.
They had been exploring the ruins frantically and had found three black stones, the largest of which was no bigger than a thumb.
"Captain, such a big black stone, you can't use it alone." Freddy's voice suddenly sounded, and the next moment white spikes immediately pierced out of the shadows and poked into Jason's chest.
"No, you all have to die! The Blackstone is mine!! Jason roared.
Boom!
Ten spikes were cut off at the waist, and Jason flew up with a kick, kicking the dwarf into the stone wall.
"Freddy is right." The corners of the vampire brothers and the giantess's eyes twitched, and the giantess suddenly raised her greatsword and slashed at Jason.
However, Jason pulled out the scimitar at his waist and slashed lightly at the giantess, and the black light instantly wound the giant sword, and the giant sword made of steel was quickly corroded and melted, leaving only a bare hilt.
"Nightmare Erosion!" The whites of one of the vampires' eyes suddenly turned into blood, and only two holes remained in his eye sockets.
The blood from his eyes scattered into droplets, flew towards and stuck to Jason's face, and then condensed to cover his eyes.
"Go to sleep, you have everything you need in your dreams..."Another vampire crossed his fingers and thrust into his chest, and a thick, foul-smelling black gas erupted from his chest, enveloping Jason in it.
"I'm the most... The strongest..."As the two vampires struck, Jason gradually stopped moving, standing dumb and motionless.
"In your dreams you will have everything, power, beauty, money... All you have to lose is ..."The hollow-eyed vampire raised his hands upward.
"Your life!" The two vampires shouted at the same time, and the next moment Jason's facial features spurted blood at the same time, and the blood vessels in his arms also exploded, and a large amount of blood gushed out of it.
The intense pain shook him and woke him up from the nightmare hypnosis.
"Damn, didn't kill..."
"One blow, he'll die—" The two vampires froze at each other, their voices as emotionless as mechanical.
"The next blow? There's no more next hit! Jason immediately swung his scimitar and slashed through the black gas released by one of the vampires, and as the gas broke, the vampire fell to the ground as if he had been badly injured.
"I'm the strongest!"
"Really?" Footsteps came from the corner, and Lin Fei stepped into the room.
"I hope it didn't bother you."
