In the tavern of Steam City.

There was a sweet and sour smell in the air, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons, both the elite and the poor.

Someone threw money in the machinery overhead, the gears turned, and the wine flowed out of the pipes.

Someone stared at the rat that was hurrying on the ground and yelled.

But more people are talking loudly about the new area being expanded.

Yesterday, after the various high-level leaders gathered in Arkham for discussion, this time the exploration is not only that they will send personnel as an official.

At the same time, tasks will also be issued, so that the mercenaries below can spontaneously organize the team to explore ahead.

And these mercenaries were born because of the imminent ruin every year and the rapid development of technology.

Without exception, they don't have their own steam engine exoskeleton device, and they still use magic energy as an energy source.

Either it is related to the Potions Master, and you can gain inhuman power after drinking the potion.

They will be destroyed every year and will be hired to protect them.

This kind of protection can't deal with the real and terrifying weirdness, but it can deal with the ghosts born of the realm of emotions.

There are still two hits.

However, the mortality rate in their line of work has also reached 30%.

The next day, the official side sent a large number of city guards from different cities, plus a combination of potions masters from the secret sect of Dagon, to explore.

Huge mechanical drives, loaded with various magical weapons, spewed out white mist to carry them quickly.

All the mercenaries also set off with their own party.

A huge exploration operation has officially begun.

A large number of people are exploring, and the feedback is very fast.

After a few days, the coordinates of each resource point, and a map of their course of action.

They were sent back to the city.

And the boundary of this exploration area is also the biggest discovery this time, a huge, continuous snow-capped mountain range.

They had never seen such a magnificent sight, and the mountains were continuous, like the border to the world.

The height of the mountain range is beyond imagination, and the indifferent peaks reach into the sky.

But it is also the most significant discovery.

The potions master of the secret sect of Dagon could feel the different aura inside, and such a magnificent and huge terrain.

It's something they don't have in the area they currently master.

In any case, this mountain range must be their target of conquest.

The ten-day expedition has come to an end for the time being.

All personnel returned home and began planning for the exploitation of the discovered resources.

They are also ready to continue to expand their cities and towns.

At the same time, the conquest of the huge mountain range is also underway.

Because it is remote and remote, it is dead and silent for eternity, and the desolate land is only cold ice and death.

It's not a place where humans can survive at all, but it's also an extremely difficult task just ahead.

Steam City was the first to issue a bounty for those mercenaries to explore their way forward.

Under the high bonuses, a large number of mercenaries began to set off.

However, their equipment is not enough to withstand the harsh terrain and climate there.

Some of the mercenaries slept there, and many more returned in vain, never daring to challenge the huge mountain range again.

In the end, according to the information provided by these mercenaries, the official prepared for more than ten days.

A team of eerie scholars, scientists of all kinds, potions masters, and the most well-equipped task forces.

Embarked on the road to conquer the mountains.

A few days later, they came to the front of the mountains.

The mountains shine brightly under the sun.

They began to fly to the nearest mountain range in a specially developed magical machine.

Then, using the exoskeleton device, the exploration begins.

Heavy snow covered the rough road, and every foot had to be carefully taken.

As they progressed, they climbed past the two nearest peaks.

They found some corpses, the corpses of mercenaries who had previously explored the area.

However, they did not freeze to death here, but the corpses of their bodies that had been autopsied.

Everyone realized that the mountains here must be full of ominousness, and there will be something special that exists.

However, they were well-equipped and prepared, so the quest continued.

But they don't know that now is the beginning of their nightmare......

With constant advancing, after suffering several snowstorms.

Several members of the task force were missing from their team.

But they continued to move forward with determination, after a few days of trekking.

The moment they climbed the current mountain, they finally saw something different!

All of them let out a scream from their souls at the same time.

Excitement, panic, trembling, and awe mingled in their minds!

Beneath the sky ahead, in the midst of the mountains, in this eternal silence, where no one has ever set foot.

There is a huge ruin embedded in the snow-capped mountains!

The ruins are made up of regular boulders, like a giant labyrinth.

However, it seems that a devastating unknown event has occurred, and some of the boulders have collapsed, and the place is clearly deserted.

But everyone was soaking in the shock that it had brought them.

This is not a natural wonder, this is the architecture of another civilization!

They couldn't imagine what kind of crazy creatures had ever existed here.

It's not for any creature to survive here.

With great shock, with awe, and with a hint of frenzy in his eyes.

They began to delve deeper into the ruins here.

Once inside the ruins, the environment was far more suitable than they had imagined.

It's a stark contrast to the harsh environment outside.

There are a large number of tunnels and wall carvings among the ruins.

Although they couldn't understand what it meant, they subconsciously knew that the history of another race was recorded here.

As they explore more and more places, their curiosity about them has not diminished in the slightest.

Instead, it becomes more intense.

And through the large number of wall carvings, they gradually began to understand what it meant.

And they didn't know it, and a layer of madness gradually appeared in their eyes.

The wall carvings record that the creature that used to live here was a creature called the Ancients, and there was also something called Shogoth.

They have a well-developed social system and are a strong civilization.

Finally everyone came to the highest and last stone chamber.

Here, there is a huge stone door, and the last wall carving.

The final wall carving records that a civilization here was at war with another civilization.

And that civilization seems to be the deep diver they know!

This is the building that was destroyed after the battle with the Deep Divers.

And the ancients and Shogues who fought the deep divers were not destroyed, or even defeated!

Rather, he was taboo about certain things, and he made a settlement with the deep divers.

And the ruins here are just ruins abandoned by them!

And the land they trampled on at this time belongs to a powerful civilized race that can compete with deep divers!

They remembered the corpses they had seen the other day.

If they had known in advance, how could they have the courage and courage to set foot here, even if it was an inch of land at the foot of the outermost snow-capped mountains!

This is their abyss, the place of death that lures life, the huge mountain range of madness!

A wave of vertigo in their brains, a sense of unknown fear penetrating deep into their spinal cords.

The madness in his eyes was even worse.

And at this moment, behind the innermost stone door of the stone room, there was an unsettling sound!
