Section 41 Discovery of ruins

Phaseless Wind/Elemental Life

A high-level wind elemental life codenamed [Bet].

[Phaseless] is only a pure state that has abandoned other elemental life forms and ecology.

The research on the phaseless elements is mainly led by scholars from the Sumeru Akademiya. However, due to its danger, except for the code and naming, there are basically no research results worthy of reference...

"It's miserable."

Xiuma used his big sword to open a broken leg with some disgust, and said with a frown.

Rushing from the cave where they were hiding to the ruins of the watchtower, the team spent most of the day even if they were on the road at full speed, by which time it was already dark, and their vision became dim, making it difficult to identify objects.

"yes, there's hardly a whole one. I wonder if the soles of my shoes have been stained with their minced flesh. Kerry lifted a broken stone brick, and underneath it was a large axe that had been badly twisted and deformed.

Xu Yun frowned, silently observing, this phaseless wind Bate and his little brothers are also too ferocious, although the bloody qi has been almost blown away in the wind, but the smell of the remaining corpses is still lingering around here.

Only one pedestal remained of the watchtower, and the huge rocks that built the tower were scattered around, smashing the nearby pastures into a mess.

Although the tragic situation around them could not be seen clearly because of the light, the female apprentices still showed resistance, after all, there are some scenes that can be imagined alone.

"It's getting dark, so let's find a place to camp first." Jacos: "It's okay to camp in the wasteland if we don't know that there are Storm Cores and Phaseless Winds, but now that we know they exist, we can't sleep in the open on such unsheltered plains." ”

"Does the watchtower have a basement?" Xu Yun asked, pointing to the remnants of the watchtower's pedestal.

"I don't know." Connor replied.

"Then I'll take a look. Let's gather some ingredients and firewood. Xu Yun nodded.

Hearing Xu Yun say this, the female members of the team hurriedly scattered around and looked for these things.

"Then let's walk around and check if there's any threat." William carried a broadsword.

"By the way, bury the pieces you found, otherwise you will wake up tomorrow morning, and you will probably have to vomit." Xu Yun said as he walked towards the base of the watchtower.

"The girls probably can't stand that scene. Although it is necessary to see it, it is better to come later in this day. ”

Hiss~

As soon as the other people heard him say it, they couldn't help but gasp when they thought about what they might see tomorrow morning when the light brightened again, and it was obvious that a not-so-good picture came to their minds.

Everyone nodded silently.

Walking along the tamped dirt road and stepping up the stone-paved steps, Xu Yun walked step by step to the base of the watchtower.

The unique sloping terrain of the Wangfeng Mountains requires a balanced base to build a tall enough watchtower.

This watchtower can be seen from a distance at the entrance and exit of the mountain tunnel, which shows the original scale, Xu Yun estimated according to his memory, how can its height not whisper twenty meters.

Now when I see the huge solid base and the rocky strips, I recall the Great Wall I saw when I traveled in the past.

The pedestal alone is about five meters high, and ten meters wide, maybe more. But this is not what he needs to study at this time, and he is not here for archaeology, so why bother with this.

Walking up to the platform at the top of the pedestal, only a little broken wall is left on the pedestal, and there is no need to find the entrance gate at all, and you can enter the area inside the original watchtower by lifting your feet.

Broken stout wooden stakes and broken planks nailed to the rock base, the staircase of the former watchtower, now only the first step remains, still in pieces.

A small door lay across the former rock floor close to the wall, the wooden frame shattered, and the iron folds that had been torn by brute force remained, and a stone staircase led to the ground.

"Sure enough, there's a basement, and it looks like there's no need to look for other shelters at night." Xu Yun muttered and walked down.

The light was getting dimmer, the afterglow of the setting sun had completely disappeared, the sky was paved with a brilliant and beautiful galaxy, and the moon was absent from the evening gathering of stars.

Follow the fifteen steps to the bottom of the tower, where the basement has limited space, only about twenty square meters. The basement is relatively dry, because there is no door panel, and the breathability is passable.

In the basement, there were several square wooden boxes, which were lying on the ground in a mess, and the boxes contained instrument parts and metal tools were scattered on the ground, as well as knives, forks and spoons.

Several sacks of grain were piled up in the corner, and the mouths of the bags were all opened, and the wheat, potatoes, and apples inside showed traces of use.

Spare planks and ropes were piled up in the other corner, but they were relatively neatly arranged.

"It seems that the hilichurls are more interested in food and less interested in human tools. It's a pity that there are no treasure chests, if only there were treasure chests in the game. Usually in this kind of place, the dog planner will hide a low-level wooden chest for the player. ”

Xu Yun took out a rough stone and bit it with his teeth, and the original stone instantly turned into a light bulb, illuminating the basement in detail. After walking around the basement with the 'rough stone lamp', and finding nothing of value, he put away the rough stone and returned to the top, informing Jakos and the others that there was a basement available, and they would stay here at night.

Communication is basically based on roaring.

With shelter, it was much safer at night, and the sense of security in the hearts of the people in the squad was immediately replenished. Jacos sends Shuma and Kerry to help Xu Yun clean up the basement.

Tell William to call back Connor and Farra, who had gone out to find other shelters, and inform the rest of the team that was gathering ingredients and firewood. Himself and Luke continued to clean up the perimeter of the watchtower, burying the large corpses that could be seen around them in their place.

The trio packed up their scattered tools, put them back in wooden boxes, and moved them out of the basement to make room for everyone to come in and rest at night.

"You say, why did the Wind of Nothing come back to attack the hilichurls? Aren't these monsters supposed to live in peace with each other? Shuma brought up the topic while packing up the scattered items, but he just couldn't keep his mouth shut, and he didn't say anything uncomfortable.

"Who knows, these monsters still need a reason to fight?" Kerry rolled his eyes.

"Even if it's a monster, it should have its own ecology, and generally speaking, they should stay in their own territory and not disturb each other." Xu Yun said.

"The watchtower has been built here for years, and if you're right, the Wind of Nothing is the king of this area, then it should have acquiesced to the existence of the watchtower, and there's no reason to suddenly attack this place, even if it's recently taken over by the hilichurls. It didn't care if the watchtower was inhabited by hilichurls or humans. Shuma continued.

"That's a real problem." Kerry nodded: "Perhaps, it's in a bad mood?" ”

"Maybe you're right." Xu Yun said

"Recently, the monsters in the wild have become more and more manic, and many hilichurls have left their original territory and started to move closer to human settlements, probably not trying to attack us."

"Although the hilichurls are hostile to us, it is undeniable that they are also an intelligent race, and there is no need to invade our territory to live in their own territory.

"You mean, they were kicked out?" Kerry asked, turning his head.

"This explanation is the only reasonable answer, otherwise who will leave the home that has been built." Xu Yun picked up a box of tools that had been packed up and carried them upward. Due to the damage of the box, the lid could no longer be closed, so it could only be placed on it casually.

"Hey, this box is so heavy, who's going to help with it?" Squatting in the corner, Shuma shouted, he wanted to carry the small wooden box by himself, but he couldn't lift it, and with a thud the box slammed on the ground, and the unlocked lid was open, spilling out the contents of the box.

Bang la blah.

A pile of ore is scattered on the ground.

Xu Yun put away the box he was carrying and returned, and a golden name prompt appeared in the field of vision in front of him.

These ores were miscellaneous and large and small, and looked inconspicuous in the dim light of the torches.

Rough stone, rough stone, rough stone...

Xu Yun's eyes widened.

"Why are you clumsy, don't you just have a box of ore, and you can't lift it?" Kerry complained helplessly, as soon as Xiuma did this, the workload of several people would increase again, and the work was about to be finished.

"It's really heavy, strange, why is it so heavy?" Shuma crouched down and picked up a fist-sized ore to check, under the light of the torch, the ore refraction was a silvery glow, and the texture was only that of a smelted metal ingot.

"Hey, the raw ore with high taste doesn't seem to be white iron." Shuma weighed the weight of the ore and was quite pressing.

"Heavy metal?" Kerry's eyes lit up, "Grit your teeth and look." ”

Shuma also understood what he was thinking, and quickly wiped the corner that reflected the most silver-white light, and then put it to his mouth and took a bite.

The teeth strained slightly, and the rough edges and corners began to dent under the bite of the teeth.

"It's silver." Before Shuma could say the answer, Kerry could already see the tooth marks left on the ore after he let go of his mouth.

The two of them suddenly came to their senses.

Squatting on the ground and starting to pick up the scattered ores.

"Golden Light······ Hey~ Bai is happy, this is a high-grade copper mine. Every time Kerry picked up a piece, he took it to the torch and took a picture.

"It's... A raw sapphire. This... Green, but it doesn't look like an emerald. This... Silver mines, ha~ Look what I found, doghead gold! The whole piece is gold, almost no impurities! ”

"Rich, rich~~" Shuma hummed happily.

What is this, the appearance is quite regular, but it doesn't look very useful. For ores that are not reflective and have no visible use, Kerry will throw them aside.

Xu Yun's heart was pounding, standing aside and watching the two of them inspect the ore, every time Kerry threw out a useless diamond-shaped stone, he silently put it into the space backpack.

1··· 2··· 13··· 27···

After picking up the scattered stones on the ground, the two began to check the ore that had not been scattered in the box, and no one found that Xu Yun silently put away the useless pebbles.

After a short time, the ore in this small wooden box was all searched.

"There are so many raw ores, all gems, gold and silver, no wonder they are so heavy." Shuma grinned and tossed the ore back into the chest.

"Oh, alas." Kerry looked at a box of ores, and his expression of excitement suddenly replaced by sadness, and he began to sigh.

"What, you still want to keep it to yourself? Does the person who sees it understand? And this box of raw ore, it is impossible for us to hide it secretly. Xu Yun said with a smile that his mood was quite happy at this time.

By the time the two of them had inspected all the ores, he followed behind and secretly hid 58 rough stones.

"I know, I don't have a problem with the three of us dividing, but there are others in the team... It's always a little unwilling. Kerry was also calm and said what was in his heart.

"There's no need, Kerry. These ores may be valuable, but they are not the wealth of you or me and Shuma, so what if we get them? Got rich overnight? He squatted down beside Kerry, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "How much can these things be worth, 10,000 or 20,000 gold moralas, even if I have 100,000 gold morals, but can it compare with the comradeship of being born and dying together?" ”

"Jacos and William are partners with us in life-and-death battles. You have to think of it this way, they are our classmates now, and with them, we will only get more in the future.

They will be our future friends, colleagues, and possibly comrades-in-arms and colleagues. These are trusted partners who will be the first to lend us a helping hand in the face of difficulties in the future. ”

"With such a friend here, which do you think is more worth it than the tens of thousands of gold Mora that the three of us have obtained by swallowing this box of raw ore now?"

Kerry nodded, and Shuma, who was crouching on the other side, also nodded deeply.

"Yes, we can always earn money, if we can become knights in the future, the salary is almost 10,000 gold mera a year, right? If we're lucky, all three of us awaken the Vision, we'll only get richer. Shuma tossed the last of the ore she had picked up into the box.

"Hey~ You're right. It's really nothing, I'm sorry, I'm carried away by wealth for a while. Kerry nodded.

"Don't apologize, we're good brothers, who doesn't have this careful thought, I just wanted to secretly stuff that piece of dog's head gold into my pocket~ Hey? What about the dog's head gold? I didn't seem to see it when I loaded the ore into the box just now. Shuma said with a big grin.

Kerry silently pulled out a half-egg-sized piece of dog's head gold from his jacket pocket and placed it on top of a pile of ore.

Xu Yun grinned: "Kerry, sometimes I really can't tell if you're a stupid person or a clever ghost. He picked up the piece of gold with his fingers, shook it, and threw it back on the ore pile.

"Is it weighed by three gold morals? Even if you want to hide it, you should hide this sapphire ore. As he spoke, he picked up a half-fist-sized piece of ore from the corner of the ore pile, which was mostly covered in black rock, with only one corner revealing a blue gem texture.

"It's so big that it's easy to show in your pocket." Kerry whispered.

Hahaha~~

Shuma laughed and slapped Kerry on the back.

Bang bang bang ~ Applause rang out.

"Finding a treasure but not thinking about it is really a very good quality. Timmy, Shuma, Kerry, I'm starting to appreciate you. ”

The three of them turned their heads to look in the direction of the applause.

Click, click, Jacos's metal boots stepped on the stone steps, step by step, followed by Claire.

Kerry was a little panicked and looked away, not daring to meet the nominal leader of the team with his gaze. Xu Yun stood up and greeted him.

"Since you're here, make a noise, I didn't expect you to have such a bad taste, Jacos, and you deliberately wanted to see our jokes." He complained angrily.

"Where, to be honest, I just came over, and when I heard your laughter, I thought it was strange, so I secretly lowered my voice."

'As for the footsteps of your iron boots, you can't think of a sound when you walk?' Lao Tzu had already heard it. Xu Yun pouted in his heart.

However, he heard Jacos's footsteps earlier than he had said, and he estimated that he had listened to at least half of the conversation.

"Let's stop talking nonsense, what do you think of this box of raw ore?" Xu Yun said bluntly.

“······”

Jacos looked at Xu Yun, the pair of ink-colored pupils had no waves, they were as clear as crystal, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations at all.

"I want it too, so it's better to divide it. Not just a few of us, of course, but all of us. Since we're all accomplices, no one will betray us, will they? What do you think of this proposal? He exhaled and looked at the dog's head gold at the top of the ore pile, and the sapphire ore that Xu Yun placed next to the dog's head gold.

Although these gemstones are not as valuable as elemental gemstones, they are also treasures loved by the rich and noble, and they are worth a lot. With this box of raw ore, the team's equipment can also be updated once, and your team will have a much more relaxed life in the next period of time.

Xu Yun set his eyes on Claire.

Others are good to say that what is really difficult in this matter is the attitude of the sisters of the church.
