The Imperial Capital Temple, the welcoming hall is very lively.

Everyone heard that Ye Yunyang was going to carry out the task of exploring the ancient ruins, and they came over to help and asked to join the reconnaissance team.

On the left are the martial arts masters headed by Wu Qinglin, and on the right are the senior wizards led by He Xuanyuan, all of whom are well-known people in the Han Empire.

Ye Yunyang smiled bitterly, his heart is not a faceless task, why are everyone so positive.

"Everyone, I have received your wishes, but the investigation team should not be crowded. He said, "In addition to me and Maki, I will choose two more at most." ”

"I'll go, I can protect you and Princess Yuma. Wu Qinglin was the first to say.

As soon as he spoke, the other warriors were embarrassed to speak again.

He Xuanyuan took the lead: "Apprentice, I'll go too!"

Similarly, Huo Hong and the others looked at each other and lost the courage to volunteer.

Ye Yunyang shook his head: "Senior brother, master, you are not suitable! You two are the masters of the martial arts and wizard worlds, the situation outside is changing rapidly, you must stay and preside over the overall situation." I think so, Zheng Zhiyuan's nephew is counted as one, and the temple is here...... Brother Huo Hong. ”

Although Wu Qinglin was a little unwilling, he was still convinced by such an arrangement, and said to Zheng Zhiyuan: "You must ensure the safety of Uncle Xiao and Princess Yuying, remember?"

Zheng Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Master rest assured, the apprentice will definitely live up to your trust." ”

He Xuanyuan took a breath and said, "Okay, let Huo Hong run, he has a calm personality, and he is still more at ease as a teacher." ”

Ye Yunyang said with a smile: "Everyone disperse, let's go to the ancient ruins early tomorrow morning, Senior Nephew Zheng and Senior Brother Huo Hong will stay, let's study the map and determine the reconnaissance route." ”

The crowd dispersed, and Liu Yuying spread out the map.

Different areas of the map are clearly divided into four sections with different colored handwriting.

Liu Yuying said: "The four major areas of the ancient ruins are the mass graves, the tombs of the rich, the tombs of the generals and the tombs of the emperors, among which the area of the tombs of the rich is the largest, and the terrain of the tombs of the generals and the emperors is the most complicated. ”

In addition to the complex terrain, many tomb robbers competed with each other in those days, setting up countless traps inside, plus the traps left by the tomb at the beginning of construction, one of them could die if they were not careful.

In addition to the map, Liu Yuying also brought notes left by the expedition team to record the situation in the ruins in detail.

During the expedition that year, only seven of the 12-member team survived, and one person was disabled for life due to serious injuries, which shows how complicated the situation inside is.

Zheng Zhiyuan took a deep breath and said, "According to the notes on the notebook, there are dangers everywhere in the ancient ruins, can the orcs hide inside?"

Huo Hong also had the same question, Ye Yunyang shook his head and said: "Any situation is possible, it is better to have no orcs in it, if there is......"

Liu Yuying answered: "Just catch them all." ”

Ye Yunyang frowned: "What is it all in one go, our task is to investigate the situation, not to find trouble with the orcs! Just rely on the three of us and a half, how many orcs can we defeat?"

The little girl's eyes widened: "What do you mean by three and a half people?"

He first pointed at Huo Hong and Zheng Zhiyuan, and then pointed to himself and said, "I, Senior Nephew Zheng, and Senior Brother each count one, and you only count half, so it's three and a half!"

"Why am I half?" the little girl said unconvinced, "I'm just a little younger and a lower level, is there anything else that is inferior to you?"

Ye Yunyang said seriously: "It's because you are young and have a low rank, so you count it as half." ”

"You ......," she turned her head to the side in a huff.

"Hehe, no kidding, let's get down to business," Ye Yunyang pointed to the entrance of the ruins and said, "After we go in, it will be the junction of the mass grave and the rich man's tomb, with the mass grave on the left and the rich man's tomb on the right." According to the records, the burial chamber in the rich man's tomb area is relatively large and luxurious, and I guess that the possibility of orcs moving here is relatively large! Of course, the mass grave cannot be let go, after we enter, the senior brother and Zheng Shifu will go to the rich man's tomb alone, and the other will go to the mass grave, and I will go to the rich man's tomb first, you must hurry up and pass the situation back, and then decide which area to explore first. ”

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Okay! Since the possibility of the rich man's tomb is relatively large, the danger will be relatively greater, so leave it to me." ”

Huo Hongbei has no problem: "I'll go to the mass grave!"

In the evening, Ye Yunyang absorbed six medium-sized beast cores as usual.

According to the size of the beast core, people are divided into four levels: miniature, small, medium and large, and the demon beasts below the level of Xiuyuan Realm are only the size of pearls and are defined as miniature.

The beast core between the Xiuyuan Realm and the Gathering God Realm is the size of a pigeon's egg, which is small, the beast core between the Gathering God Realm and the Golden Body Realm is medium-sized, and the one above the Golden Body Realm is large.

In the market, the price of small beast cores is more than five hundred taels of gold, and as long as they are put on the shelves, they will be snapped up.

The energy contained in the beast core is extremely pure, and the mystical power and level improvement of the martial artist are very obvious, as early as a few months ago, there were martial artists who spontaneously organized themselves to hunt demon beasts in the wild.

With the encouragement of the government, after several months of development, there are tens of thousands of such organizations in Dahan, and tens of thousands of beast cores can be hunted every day.

A large part of these cores were directly purchased by the military and the government and distributed to soldiers and warriors.

According to Ye Yunyang's current status, he can get four small beast cores every day, plus one medium-sized beast core.

However, under Liu Yuying's direct intervention, his share has tripled, and the large beast cores purchased by the royal family will also be delivered to him first.

Ye Yunyang let go of his palm and threw the beast core that turned into gray stone into the trash, Liu Yuying immediately asked, "How is it, how much is it until the next upgrade?"

Ye Yunyang replied: "If nothing else, it will be able to rise to the quality period tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." However, I will go to the ancient ruins early tomorrow morning to carry out a mission, so I have decided not to wait and use the new spirit map now. ”

"Okay!" The little girl jumped three feet high and took the initiative to go to the bookcase next to her: "I'll help you get the new spirit map of the Golden Body Realm! By the way, after you ascend to the Great Perfection of the Qiankun, do you want to continue to march towards the Yaokong Realm?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go with the flow, as the old saying goes, if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and at this level, forcing it will not lead to good results." ”

"Okay. ”

A few minutes later, he began to absorb the new spirit diagram, and the process went very smoothly.

By the time he opened his eyes again, his level had already been upgraded to the Golden Body Realm.

Dongfang Yixue walked in from the outside, saw the change in his temperament at a glance, and asked, "Upgraded?"

"Hmm!" he pointed to the drawing paper on the table and said, "I just used a new spirit map, and I'm going on a mission tomorrow, I don't know what dangers will be in it, it's necessary to upgrade the level." ”

Dongfang Yixue nodded and said, "Qu Yuan and I are re-studying the Minotaur and found that its weaknesses include ears and nostrils, as well as ankles, in addition to the heart. The weakness of the tiger man is the waist, the elephant man has the nose and the back of the head, and we don't know what kinds of orcs are in the ancient cemetery, so that's all we can do. ”

He smiled and said, "You've done a lot!" ”

"Oh!" the little girl undressed and went to bed very obediently.

Ye Yunyang was secretly happy in his heart, he could still experience the feeling of the blessing of Qi people before leaving, it was really great!

Early the next morning, under the protection of Xiao Yuda and five other titled national teachers, the team of four came to the entrance of the ancient ruins.

Back then, the entrance was sealed with huge stones, leaving only a small door three feet wide, plugged with stones, and a pull ring on the outside, which could be dragged out with the help of livestock.

The stone gate has never been opened since it was sealed, and as for where the orcs came from, even Duanmuyu couldn't tell clearly.

Xiao Yuda's task is to stay here, and no one is allowed to enter or exit through the entrance, especially the demon beasts and orcs that need to be guarded against.

Zheng Zhiyuan and Huo Hong were carrying emergency torches, and Xiao Yuda handed over the helmets specially made for them, with three night pearls inlaid in front of them, which could illuminate an area of twenty meters in the dark.

After getting ready, the four of them walked through the entrance.

The first is a long passage, winding and deep.

Liu Yuying held Ye Yunyang's hand tightly, and could feel the tension in her heart.

"What, scared?" he said with a smile, "It's still too late to turn back, it only takes a few steps to get out." ”

"Who's afraid!" Liu Yuying pouted and said, "People are just a little uncomfortable with this dark environment, it's good to get used to it!"

He shrugged, "Well, I hope what you say is true, not hard." ”

After walking forward for dozens of meters, what appeared was not a sudden enlightenment, but even darker and deeper.

Because the brightness of the night pearl is limited, it is pitch black in front of you, the light is swallowed up by the darkness, and the vision is blocked, and you don't know what is in front of you, which is a challenge to people's psychology.

Because it is underground, it has not seen sunlight for thousands of years, and it is extremely gloomy.

Ye Yunyang took a deep breath and said, "The air is quite fresh, if I am not mistaken, there must be a hidden ventilation hole here that we don't know." ”

Liu Yuying asked, "How can you see it?"

He smiled faintly and said, "Because I feel the air moving, how can this happen if there are no ventilation holes?"

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I also noticed it!" Uncle Xiao, according to the previous arrangement, I will go to the rich cemetery on the right. ”

"I'm going to a mass grave!" Huo Hong said.

"Be careful, two. Ye Yunyang admonished.

After the two left, the footsteps faded away until nothing could be heard.

Liu Yuying wiped his eyes, wanting to get a better line of sight, but found that it was useless, and he could only see more than ten meters away in front of him.

Ye Yunyang took out the flare from his backpack, this is Duanmu Yu's masterpiece, made of white phosphorus, yellow phosphorus and several other ores, and thrown out after breaking, yellow phosphorus and white phosphorus meet the air and burn, emitting a yellow light, and a flare can continue to burn for half an hour.

Smack!

The flare landed, and after a few seconds, it made a "snort" sound, and then burned and emitted light, illuminating the surrounding area of dozens of meters.

Ye Yunyang looked at the gradually clear picture in front of him, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

Liu Yuying was the same, in addition to staring, she was still gasping for air.
