Chapter 35: Entering the Ruins
A few days later, one morning, when the fog had not completely dissipated, a cyan figure had appeared at the foot of Yue Feng, and after a rush of travel, he finally stopped, looked at the thick fog in Yue Feng and muttered, "According to the map, one more hill is the location of the ruins." ”
This person has a delicate face and a relatively thin body, it is Xue Han who has just improved his strength the day before, although those bandits have been eliminated by him, but just in case, he still put on a silk mask.
After a few mutters, he quickly took another step towards his destination.
Not long after, Xue Han stopped at a pit more than ten meters wide.
"This should be it. Seeing that this situation was no different from the description on the map, Xue Han said in his heart.
In front of the pit are a large number of lush trees, but behind it is a very wide rocky mountain, and although there is a lot of vegetation on the rocky hills, it is generally mostly bare rocks.
According to the instructions on the map, the ruins of the predecessors are inside this stone mountain, and the entrance is in front of this pit, but Xue Han did not rush into the pit, but found a flat stone above the pit and sat down.
Not long after sitting down, the thick fog dispersed, and then the dazzling sunlight poured down from the sky.
Xue Han immediately stood up, squinting his eyes to find something in the pit, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, he jumped into the pit lightly, and walked towards a shadow in the pit, and after reaching the shadow, he squatted down, and gently tapped the obviously irregular slightly protruding stone in the shadow with his hand.
"Knock Knock"
Hearing an obviously somewhat unusual sound, Xue Han began to pull the stone.
After using his strength, the stone that originally seemed to be unable to move at all actually began to move slowly, and after a few seconds, a "crunch" sound was heard, and the stone wall behind Xue Han actually opened slowly.
Looking at this hidden stone wall, Xue Han couldn't help but sigh, "It's really amazing." ”
Indeed, if it weren't for the map, he wouldn't have been able to find such a place, and the design of this place was obviously more secret than the stone cave in the family.
The open stone wall is not big, but it can only allow one person to enter, Xue Han immediately raised his head and looked behind the stone wall, but to his surprise, the light behind the stone wall was abnormal, and it was not at all the darkness he imagined.
But all he could see was a not-so-short staircase ahead.
After seeing that there was no longer anything wrong with the stone wall, Xue Han took a step and walked towards the stairs behind the stone wall.
After entering the stairs, Xue Han found that there was a fist-sized night pearl on his head every few meters, and below the stairs of ten meters was a relatively spacious stone room, and the top of the stone room was also inlaid with a dozen fist-sized night pearls.
There are so many night pearls hanging in such a small place, and these night pearls are all much more precious than the night pearls in the family cave, so Xue Han doesn't need to think about it to know that the original owner of this site must be quite wealthy, and Xue Han is even more looking forward to what may be in it.
Although this stone room is relatively spacious, but there is nothing of value except for some strange stones, after thinking that the owner of this site must be a lover of strange stones, Xue Han no longer paid attention to it, but raised his feet and walked inside, after walking through a passage ten meters long, a stone door appeared in front of him.
However, to Xue Han's surprise, he actually heard the sound of people talking from inside the stone gate.
"How could there be someone inside?" Xue Han couldn't help but be surprised.
He was naturally surprised that someone could still enter this ruins after several bandits had been killed by him, not to mention that the other party had not entered through the entrance depicted on the map.
After thinking about it, Xue Han quickly found the problem, although he destroyed several bandits, he still missed one person, that is, Hao Er, who had been staying by Xue Changlin's side.
It must have been Koji who found out that several of his companions had died inexplicably and then asked others to hunt for treasures, and Xue Han, who was thinking so in his heart, quickly settled down.
Due to the strong sound insulation ability of the stone gate, Xue Han could only use his strong sensing power to detect the inside of the stone gate, but his face quickly became gloomy, because during the induction process, he felt an extremely powerful aura, fortunately, he reacted quickly and took it back in time, and the other party did not expect that there were still people in this ruins, so the other party did not realize that there was such a person as Xue Han.
Although he hit a wall, Xue Han probably knew that there were three people on the other side, except for one of whom was about the same strength as himself, the other two were all much stronger than him, and the strength of one of the two was even more unfathomable, and this person was naturally the one with a strong breath.
The situation is not good, Xue Han frowned, fortunately, things have not yet reached the worst step, and the other party does not know about his existence.
Since the other party was already in the stone gate, it was obviously one step ahead of him, but fortunately, there was nothing valuable in the stone room inside, so Xue Han did not appear disappointed, what he had to do now was to arrive at the place where there was a high probability of treasure before a few people.
Fortunately, the map indicated that there was a secret passage in this ruin, which could lead to that place, so Xue Han was naturally relieved.
However, although he knew the secret path, it was also possible for the other party to know, but in this case, Xue Han could only take the dark path, because if he didn't want to take the secret path, he would have to defeat the other party, otherwise it would be impossible to reach the place where there were treasures first.
It's just that it seems impossible to defeat the other party at all, because judging from his investigation just now, even if he stimulates the mysterious power of the demon pupil, his strength is at most a tie with the strongest of the three.
Thinking of this, Xue Han turned his head without hesitation, and soon he came to the previous stone room, and the secret passage was in this stone room.
After knocking on a wall in the stone room that didn't look abnormal for a while, Xue Han found the secret passage in the ruins, the secret passage was narrow and dark, and it could only allow one person to climb through, but Xue Han didn't care so much, and immediately bent down and got into the dark passage.
Although the dark passage is narrow and dark, it is connected in a straight line with the first treasure location, so even though the other party is one step ahead of Xue Han, Xue Han may still rush to that place before the other party, and he must hurry up at the premise.
Fortunately, there were no mechanisms in the dark passage, and after crawling at maximum speed for a while, Xue Han still climbed to the end of this dark passage.
However, just when Xue Han was happy in his heart, he frowned, because the stone room outside the secret passage actually sounded footsteps.
It seems that it is still a step slower, Xue Han is a little depressed.
But since he came here, he was naturally unwilling to give up like this, and slowly radiated his sensing power with a fluke mentality, and soon, his face showed joy, because there was obviously only one person in the stone room in front of him, and he was also the weakest one, with Xue Han's induction, the other party was only a second-order warrior at most.
What made Xue Han even happier was that after the other party entered the stone room, he didn't take anything with his hands, but stayed quietly in a certain place, as if he had encountered some problem.
The opportunity must not be lost, Xue Han, who was thinking so in his heart, immediately made up his mind and decided to snatch the treasures in the stone room with this person in the stone room, although the other two were likely to appear at any time, but he couldn't care so much.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.
Xue Han immediately slowly crawled towards the end of the dark passage, but fortunately, he was only two meters away from the wall of the opposite stone room just now, so it didn't take long to climb to the end of the dark passage.
It was at this time that the stone chamber remembered the footsteps of the other party again.
Could it be that the other party had already gotten the things, Xue Han couldn't help but be surprised, if the other party took the things in his hands and exited the stone chamber now, he would probably not be able to snatch the things from the other party's hands.
However, Xue Han's worries were quickly put down, because the other party just changed direction and did not walk out of the stone room.
And what made him even more excited was that the other party turned his back to him after changing directions.
When the opportunity came, Xue Han's eyes sparkled in the darkness, and in the next moment, he suddenly slashed at the wall in front of him.
This wall was originally an exit, so it was very thin, and a big hole was naturally broken under Xue Han's palm, and when the wall was broken, Xue Han shot out of the dark passage, like a cheetah, and pounced towards the figure in front of him.
A black shadow that suddenly appeared in the rubble obviously caught the other party off guard, but that person reacted extremely quickly, rolling violently when Xue Han was about to hit him, and actually dodged Xue Han's thunderous sneak attack.
"Is that you?" the man exclaimed after seeing Xue Han's face clearly.
And from the surprised face of the other party, Xue Han also saw that the person in front of him was actually Xue Changlin's son Xue Yi, thinking that Haoji was originally staying by Xue Changlin's side, so Xue Han was naturally not surprised.
He only wondered how the other party had entered the ruins, knowing that the map indicated that the place he had entered was the only entrance to the ruins.
Of course, if he knew that Xue Changlin and the others had searched for several months near this stone mountain like headless flies in order to find the location of this ruin, he would naturally not be so surprised.
Xue Han didn't pay attention to Xue Yi, but turned his gaze and looked towards the place where Xue Yi was standing just now.
I saw that there was a small square table there, and on the table was a very quaint-looking book covered with dust, which must be a book of great value.
And around the table, there are several mechanisms that specialize in firing bows and crossbows, and at a glance, I immediately knew the reason why Xue Yi stayed for a long time and didn't move, because this is simply an airtight mechanism, as long as you touch one of the mechanisms, you will inevitably be shot into a hornet's nest by the bows and crossbows of the other mechanisms.
Xue Han actually flashed out of the dark passage inexplicably, which naturally surprised Xue Yi, but thinking that his strength had already been greatly improved, he immediately flashed a trace of fierceness on his face, "Boy, I don't care how you appear here, now you disappear for me immediately, otherwise don't care about the ruthlessness of my subordinates." ”
Although he really wanted to teach this kid surnamed Su a hard lesson now, reason told him that he should get the treasure in this ruins first, and leave the rest of the things behind for the time being.
