Ruins are a place full of dangers.

Duanmu Huai strode forward, looking left and right, and the dazzling light emitted by the helmet illuminated the originally dim ruins in front of him. Most of it was buried in the sand, and only a few remaining pillars and statues were still erected there, stubbornly showing their presence.

Duanmu Huai walked forward step by step, while observing the surrounding decorations and creations. Behind him, however, a bulge emerged from the otherwise flat pile of dust and sand, slowly approaching the prey in front of him——— and then it suddenly flew out of the sand, spreading its sharp teeth and pounced on its target.

At the same time, Duanmu Huai also clenched the war hammer and turned around to strike!

"Boom!!"

The steel war hammer instantly smashed into the black shadow's body, knocking it out, and the black shadow fell to the ground, let out a sharp whistle and straightened up, staring at Duanmu Huai——— which was a giant snake with a body as thick as a wine barrel and nearly ten meters long, it opened its mouth, and venom sprayed out from it, spilling towards Duanmu Huai.

Duanmu Huai, who succeeded in the first blow, did not stay still stupidly, on the contrary, when the giant snake sprayed venom at him, he had already grasped the war hammer, rushed forward, and then jumped high, dodging the giant snake's venom spray, and then smashed the giant snake's head again, directly smashing it to the ground.

Under the relentless striking of the steel warhammer, the serpent fell headlong to the ground, and as it writhed to struggle again, a dark shadow appeared out of thin air, obscuring its vision.

“—————！！”

Duanmu Huai stepped on it, and the power foot mercilessly stepped on the tough head of the giant snake, and the giant snake tried to resist, but its skull was obviously not hard enough to be compared to the ruthless mechanical force, and only heard a "poof", and the head of the giant snake was trampled into meat sauce.

[When the Wild Serpent dies, you gain 50 XP]

Duanmu Huai glanced at the system prompt, then turned around and walked forward again, at this moment, he seemed to feel like he was back in the game again, which reminded him of the feeling when he first experienced the game Xinghai OL, walking in different worlds with different identities, exploring unknown adventures, and eager to find some interesting secrets, even powerful treasures. These are more interesting than simple monster fighting, and exploring the unknown is also quite interesting.

That's why he loves this game, countless planets, countless worlds, countless adventures.

The tension, the excitement, the satisfaction of exploring, is always addictive.

And, it seems, I'm not the only one here to explore.

Duanmu Huai stopped, then he squatted down, stretched out his hand and grabbed something buried in the sand, and then lifted it up hard——— it was a corpse, most of his body had already decomposed, and Sensen's white bones poked out of the disgusting flesh and blood, shaking uncontrollably with Duanmu Huai's movements, as if he had self-awareness. Judging by his rotten, iron-blue face, this man must have been the last victim of the serpent.

It's kind of revenge for you.

For the corpse in front of him, Duanmu Huai was very calm, after all, he had seen too many disgusting things in Xinghai OL, especially in the later stage of the evil god realm that went deep into the subspace, every place in it was a hundred times more disgusting than B-grade plasma tablets, this kind of painting style can be regarded as Qingqi.

On the contrary, Alyssa next to her saw that the corpse turned pale and almost vomited.

"Lord Black Knight, let's go the other way......... It's so dangerous here........."

Alyssa was crying and almost crying. She shouldn't have told the Black Knight about this place in the first place, but now it's a good thing, she shouldn't have come if she knew this place was so dangerous.........

But if she doesn't come, she has nowhere to go.

Those evil god believers sent a large team of men and horses to chase and kill them, in fact, on the way to the ruins, Duanmu Huai and Alyssa encountered several chasing troops, of course, these guys were killed by Duanmu Huai. However, from their mouths, the two of them can also be sure that this group of evil god believers has indeed sent a lot of people, and they must bring Alyssa back.

"Keep going."

Of course, Duanmu Huai would not listen to Elisa, he shook his head and continued to move forward, and the latter could only follow.

"By the way, do you know the history of this ruin?"

While looking at the wreckage around him, Duanmu Huai opened his mouth and asked, this is what he used to like to do most in the game, wandering through the ruins that have been ruined and forgotten by time, imagining their former glory, what happened in this city, how many people lived here, and how they embarked on the road of destruction, and finally turned this place into a ghost town with no people.

Because of this factor, Duanmu Huai had also thought about transferring to the Department of Archaeology before, but ......... Well, people say he looks like a tomb robber.

It's just MMP, you might as well say that I'm a smuggler is a little more reliable, which tomb robber is so burly, isn't this stuck in the tomb?

In reality, it doesn't work, and it's not bad for Duanmu Huai to have fun in the game.

"Uh......... I've heard of some. ”

Alyssa didn't seem to be a stranger to this place, and she whispered as she followed Duanmu Huai's side, carefully peeking around.

"I heard that this was once a country, and this country has very advanced technology for making magic dolls, and the king of this country used this technology to create a lot of fierce demon puppets to invade other countries and occupy a lot of land."

"And how was it destroyed?"

Duanmu Huai asked curiously, and Alyssa thought for a moment.

"It seems that they created a very powerful puppet and tried to conquer the world, but the puppet went berserk for some reason and attacked the royal city, completely destroying the entire royal city, and the king was also killed by the puppet. Rumor has it that this is some kind of curse......... Anyway, after that, the country began to decay, and the people left. ”

"I didn't see any wreckage of the figurines."

Duanmu Huai looked at the surrounding wilderness, and there was nothing left except broken walls and ruins.

"After all, it's just a rumor, and it's been hundreds of years ago........."

At this, Alyssa stopped abruptly, and then she listened intently.

"Knight, do you hear me? There is the sound of water!! ”

"Well, yes."

"Great! Can we go over?! ”

At this time, Alyssa grabbed Duanmu Huai's arm and looked at him pleadingly. Although she wanted to rush straight over, she didn't dare ————.

After all, there are too many dangers lurking here, and the giant snake just now is the best example.

"Absolutely."

Now those evil god believers haven't caught up yet, and Duanmu Huai doesn't mind letting Alyssa relax.

The sound of water is a river, which should have been a moat a long time ago, but now that the sea has changed, this original moat has become a small stream.

"Great!!"

Seeing this news, Alyssa suddenly jumped up excitedly, and then she seemed to think of something, and turned her head to look at Duanmu Huai with some embarrassment.

"Lord Black Knight, that ......... I want to take a shower........."

It's no wonder that Alyssa has this need, in fact, since she was rescued by Duanmu Huai, the girl's whole body is unkempt, covered with blood, ragged clothes, and this is also a fishy smell, if it weren't for the armor isolation, Duanmu Huai may also be able to smell the stench on the girl——— which is unacceptable for any girl who loves beauty.

"Give you twenty minutes."

Duanmu Huai didn't say much, and Alyssa did have this need, so he didn't stop him, and after scanning the surroundings to confirm that there were no hidden biological signals, Duanmu Huai nodded, and then walked straight away. At this time, Alyssa also cheered and threw herself directly into the stream.

Duanmu Huai was not idle and bored to spy on Alyssa taking a bath, on the contrary, Alyssa was not by his side, but gave him a chance.

As an experienced player, Duanmu Huai knows that it is basically impossible for himself and others to escape from the pursuit of that group of evil god believers, this kind of serial task, the more pressure the later it is, the first is just some miscellaneous soldiers, and then there should be a boss-level existence on the stage, now Duanmu Huai has repelled three waves of miscellaneous soldiers, and the completion degree in the task "Escort" shows [3/? ], which means that there will be chasers behind, and it may even be a powerful boss-level enemy.

This is normal for the player, and the next thing is to see how much Alyssa is worth, and if she is very valuable, then the whole organization is more likely to be out of the nest. If her value is only averagely high, then as long as she cuts off the outstretched hands of this group of evil god believers, she can solve this trouble.

But no matter what, it was impossible for Duanmu Huai to let these evil god believers leave.

In the world of Xinghai OL, all the cult god believers are the followers of the chaos evil god, that is, the enemies of order.

They rebelled against order, in the company of chaos, and for the sake of the world.

What a blasphemy!

Xinghai OL has a high degree of freedom, and players can choose the faction forces at will, but only the Chaos Evil God and the Evil God Believers are always hostile factions and cannot be changed!

Duanmu Huai's current ability is only able to fight small bosses, and if a more powerful enemy comes, he will be somewhat unable to parry. Even if you have a power armor, your own level is low, and the value of the power armor is not high, it is still a dish in front of high-level demons. That's why he's here——— because it's only here that he gets stronger.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes froze, and then he raised his right hand.

"Activate, soul resonance!"
