Chapter 131: Strange Ruins [4K]
"Knight Cavin, take someone on guard, and use a whistle to warn if something comes close, understand?"
"Do your bidding!" Kavin bowed slightly, and then scattered with his soldiers like dandelions, alerting them to possible predators.
"How are we going to open it?"
Xiyue had already investigated, and knew that it was impossible to open it with her own ability, and if she didn't let her, she wouldn't find a helper.
"At present, there is no way to take a trick, I can only try to attack together first, but I have another way if it doesn't work."
Ryan shook his head helplessly, and even found that what could he do other than brute force?
The three of them looked at each other, and finally took a triangular position, concentrating fire on one point of the gate. Xiyue used her own single most lethal [Piercing Arrow], and the surging magic power converged on the magic arrow, causing Ryan to change color slightly.
Ryan and Allen, as knights, jointly performed the knight skill [Breaking Formation Cone], as the most penetrating knight combat skill, the power of the two together far exceeded that of Xiyue, and the shining fighting spirit startled a number of birds.
When the three of them reached a critical point in their charge, an illusory magic arrow phantom and a knight spear phantom slowly appeared in the air.
They were released together in an instant, their fighting energy and magic intertwined and shimmered, and the phantom seemed to turn into substance, slamming into the midpoint of the metal gate.
"Boom ......"
The metal gate began to violate, and countless tiny pieces of earth and stones slid down the mountain, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
Almost instantly, cracks began to appear on the surface of the metal gate, and a rust-like shell peeled off the door, revealing its true face.
"Pure Mithril for, what a big deal."
Ryan looked at such a large piece of Mithril in front of him, and the whole person was not calm, the value of this gate was already incalculable, after all, the price of Mithril, a rare metal, on the market has reached a very high level.
"With the strength of Mithril, it's hard for us to open, I really don't know what's inside, we need a door like this."
Xi Yue muttered in her mouth, a little frustrated, this was the first time she had personally explored the ancient ruins, but she didn't expect to encounter a hard stubble.
"Our attack has been effective, at least there is a noticeable dent here." Alan was more optimistic, pointing to the small pit in the middle and said seriously.
"But that blow is already our full strength." Xiyue said speechlessly.
"We still have a chance, just a little bit of risk." Ryan pinched the package he was carrying, which contained three crystal bombs.
The reason why it is not used at the beginning, in addition to saving, the movement it causes is also a very important factor, and the earth-shattering sound is difficult to say that it will not attract any horror.
Whether it was a powerful mercenary group or a magical beast above level four, it was not something Ryan wanted to see, but now he couldn't help it, and he was full of curiosity about what was behind the door.
"What else can you do?" Xiyue cast a puzzled and expectant look.
"You guys go out first, it's a bit loud to use this thing, and it's very likely to provoke something."
After the two of them withdrew suspiciously, Ryan carefully took out the container and began to assemble the crystal bomb, and after much thought, he finally planned to use only two to see the effect, leaving one as a hole card.
After all, it is the only means of saving his life, and he cannot be stingy.
After setting the crystal as an energy source, he came to a distance of more than a hundred meters from the gate, aimed at the root of the gate and threw it with all his might.
A dull crash sounded, followed by two earth-shattering bangs, and the bright light instantly enveloped the entire gate, and the shock wave of the explosion kicked up gravel and dust, accompanied by a "boom" sound, startling away all the surrounding magical beasts.
This time not only shocked the demonic beast, but even Xiyue and the others were frightened, but fortunately, they had already been vaccinated by Ryan, so they didn't react too much.
However, Kavin and the others were so shocked that they were stunned on the spot, and hurried back, thinking that some large demonic beast had attacked.
By the time everyone rushed back to the gate, the smoke and dust had already dissipated, leaving only the gate covered by a pile of rubble and dirt.
"Hurry up and clean up the rubble."
Ryan knew that the time given to them was running out, just now he heard several roars of demonic beasts, the sound was terrifying and terrifying, it was very likely to be a fifth-level or even sixth-level demonic beast, and he had to act quickly......
While they were clearing the rubble, a six-armed demon ape stepped out of its territory with a terrifying momentum. A one-horned monitor lizard also led its colony in a certain direction......
A mercenary group, led by the regimental commander, began to march in that direction. Countless adventurers who thought they were powerful silently converged in one direction......
For a time, the clouds moved in all directions, and the heroes gathered!
Ryan didn't know how many terrifying existences he had attracted, he just buried his head in cleaning up the rubble, and finally, most of the side was cleared, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and a passage was blasted open in the middle of the gate that was enough for one person to pass through.
"Great, did you use any magic weapons?" Xiyue suddenly let out a cheer, and then quickly followed the passage and got in.
Before the "caution" in Ryan's mouth could be spoken, Xiyue had already entered, still waving to them at the passage.
Ryan couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, he could see that although this elf had lived a long time, and had always claimed to be the greatest adventurer of the elf race, he was actually a rookie who didn't understand anything.
Even he, a person with no adventure experience at all, knows that this kind of place can't be so recklessly entered, what if he encounters a 10,000-year-old zongzi?
Sighing, he was about to go in, but Alan took the lead with a few soldiers, and only after confirming that it was safe did he signal Ryan to enter.
Behind the gate there was nothing special, a wide semicircular passageway, all paved with unknown metal plates, and inlaid at intervals resembling the pearl of the night.
The faint glow of the passage kept the wide passage from losing sight of the fingers.
"Be vigilant."
With a command, the team formed a standard battle formation and explored forward, the soles of their shoes stepping on the metal floor, making a "clang" sound, and the echo was unusually obvious.
There were no expected old zongzi, no dilapidated buildings, only an empty passage, and after about ten minutes of travel, a bright blue light suddenly lit up in front of everyone's eyes.
There was a commotion in the team, and Ryan looked at it and found that what was glowing was a fist-sized crystal, and behind it was pitch black, quietly suspended in mid-air, hazy. It seems to exist forever, and it seems to be illusory.
"It's ......"
Ryan's eyes widened in surprise, looking like a baby.
"There are waves of magic." A hint of vigilance appeared in Xiyue's eyes, a magical item appeared in such a place, reasonable and a little puzzling at the same time.
Ryan tried to take a step forward, and a curtain of light like water waves appeared in front of his eyes. His right-hand foot, which he had just raised, hurriedly lowered, and he felt the aura of destruction in that light curtain.
"Police...... Alarm, alarm...... Tell. Clause...... Number 52...... Research Institute, Non-Fellow...... Please stop.
Please...... Verify your identity.
Please...... Verify your identity.
……”
The cold and mechanical voice sounded suddenly, startling everyone, and its echo of "speaking" echoed in the empty passage, making people feel a little strange that it was actually the lingua franca of the mainland.
"It's ...... Robot? Or a repeater? Ryan stared warily at the crystal suspended in the air, his mind full of thoughts, the voice reminded him of the robots in his previous life.
"Please...... Verify your identity. ”
The sound of the machine sounded over and over again, making people a little irritated and uneasy, this thing was still a bit beyond their cognition.
The only ones who could remain calm on the scene were Xiyue and Ryan, and Xiyue said tentatively: "Verify your identity? ”
Her words seemed to activate some hidden function of the crystal, and the crystal that had been suspended in mid-air began to glow intermittently, like a light bulb about to go out.
Ryan and the others secretly raised their vigilance, and once something was wrong, they immediately ran away.
At the top of the crystal, a little white light bloomed, and a beam of light from small to large was emitted, shining precisely on Xiyue's body.
Her body froze suddenly, and if she hadn't been unaware of the danger, she would have flashed as far away.
The beam of light scanned Xiyue's entire body like a scanner, and finally slowly disappeared.
The cold and mechanical voice sounded again:
"Race: Elves
Sex: Female
ID: None
Permissions: None
Non-researchers, no access clearance, no access permitted. ”
Ryan froze again, how did this thing look more and more like a robot with a set program, and it also had the ability to scan?
Xiyue was a little deflated, what the hell is this, and what is this authority.
"It seems that we have no connection with this ruin, and it is clear that it needs some kind of designation or clearance to enter." Ryan spread his hands helplessly, and it seemed that he was going to return empty-handed.
"If we break into this, will we be able to stop it?" Allen's expression was serious, their team was not weak, maybe they could try to break through, after all, the light curtain didn't seem to be too threatening.
Ryan just shook his head, took out a soldier's saber and threw it towards the light curtain, but in an instant, the steel sword was instantly turned into powder by the mysterious power.
Everyone shuddered suddenly, if this is a person, then there is no scum left? For a while, everyone also extinguished the idea of moving forward, what are you kidding, this is something that people can break through?
Just when Ryan announced his retreat, Xiyue quit and returned empty-handed in Baoshan, which is not the style of adventurers!
"Don't, don't worry, you all try it, what if it happens?"
She hurriedly spoke up, trying to grasp the slightest impossible opportunity.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Ryan, who originally felt that there was no need to continue, was not easy to refuse, so he had to follow her wishes and said: "Okay, you are an elf and I am a human, I will try too."
Verify your identity. ”
As soon as these words came out, the crystal that had been silent suddenly began to flicker intermittently again, and the scanning beam began to scan his whole body.
There is a saying that if you go out and step on dog shit, you will be lucky, not to mention that a person who has been smashed by dragon shit is indeed good at creating miracles.
A cold and mechanical voice rang out:
"Race: Terran
Sex: Male
ID: None
Permissions: S-level
Non-researcher, no filing, sufficient permissions, can enter. The No. 1 guard of Research Institute No. 52 salutes you! ”
Ryan: "??? ”
Everyone: "!! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a small opening in the light curtain in front of me, just enough for one person to pass through.
"Hey, hey, it's not fair, why would you have permission?" Although she had been looking forward to the appearance of a miracle, Xiyue was the first to blow up when the miracle really appeared, and she felt that she was being treated differently.
"Perhaps, this is some human relic of the world? Only humans can enter? Ryan was also a little confused, not understanding what was going on.
"Alan, try it."
In order to verify his thoughts, Ryan asked Alan to try it too, but the result was a surprise, and his scan results were also not allowed to enter.
The others tried one by one, and found that none of them worked.
At this time, Xiyue looked at Ryan's eyes a little strangely, a pretty face was almost on his face, and he said suspiciously: "Your ancestors won't have anything to do with this ruin, why can you, how did you change?" ”
Ryan pushed her away and shook his head directly, his family knows his own affairs, and their family has only come out of the barren land since his grandfather, and he must not be able to fight here.
"No matter, it's always good to be able to go in, you guys are on guard outside, I'll go in and have a look."
After instructing everyone to be safe, Ryan tentatively passed through the passage, which went very smoothly, but the passage closed the moment he passed.
"Hey, there's a baby in it, don't swallow it alone." Xiyue made a trumpet shape with her hands, her face was full of resentment, it was obviously the ruins she had found, but she could only watch dryly.
Unbeknownst to her, Ryan was cut off from the world when she entered, and she couldn't hear a sound at all.
He looked at the levitating No. 1 guard, and finally didn't intend to provoke it, drew his sword and began to move cautiously, and soon, in the perspective of Alan and the others, he disappeared into the darkness.
After a few steps, another door stood in front of him, but this time it opened automatically as soon as he got closer, making Ryan more and more surprised at how intelligent and mechanical it was.
What shocked him even more was the world behind the door, where is this ruin, and what greeted him was clearly an otherworldly version of the laboratory!
Walking in, there are lights shining on the top in turn, illuminating the surrounding space, and large glass jars stand on both sides, containing strange green liquid, "gurgling" bubbling.
Walk up to a metal workbench with a pile of jars and jars, like an alchemist's alchemy's workshop.
He was about to take a closer look when a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Zero 52 Master, salute you. ”
