Baden's team walked through the dense forest, which was dense, although not as exaggerated as the rainforest, and the branches were layered on top of each other. In particular, there is no road in the woods, and people have to manually cut the vines that block the road to pass.

At the front was Jimi, two axes leading the way, and next to her was Bayeru on guard. Bayeru was supposed to be at the forefront, with the best equipment and the highest defense. But he had a shield in his hand, and it was difficult to open the way, so he had to be on guard again, and if there was danger, he would stop it as soon as possible. Guimet and captain Baden took turns clearing the way, with Hunter Swiez tasked with orienting and guarding the rear. Yao Lao went all the way to see if there were any herbs to collect on the side of the road.

Although the division of labor is like this in theory, it is not the case in practice, except that Bayeru has always been at the forefront with his shield, and Switz and Yao Lao will sometimes go to the front to open the way, so that Jimei and Baden can rest for a while. Wild beasts rarely ambush humans, so you don't have to worry too much about the rear, mainly because you are afraid that the large beasts in front of you will be frightened and start a frenzy to ignore them, and there are poisonous insects and poisonous snakes falling from the branches.

Yao Lao prepared a snake repellent medicine for everyone, in fact, it is mainly sulfur that works. He also prepared some anesthetics for the hunters to apply to the arrows, but if it works, it should be taken as a comfort.

Generally speaking, an adventure team like them that goes out on a mission is something that no one will attack, and if they kill an adventure team, the gains they have not lost are large, and those who have a deep hatred are counted separately. If they have achieved anything in the ruins, they should be on guard, and it is better not to let people know.

In this kind of dense forest, it is difficult to maintain the formation, in fact, in order to hurry, their formation has long been chaotic, but there must be two people in front of them, Bayeru and the person who opened the way.

"Hey, stop, listen, is it the sound of water?" said Suddenly, Thwaites stopped.

When everyone heard his words, they all stopped and listened carefully with their ears sideways.

"It seems to be the sound of water, in front of the right. Baden, who was leading the way, said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Soon they came to the side of the small river, which was not very fast and not very wide.

"Jimmy, is this the river?" asked Bayeru aloud, "what did the man say?"

Jimei carefully discerned the direction and affirmed: "This is it, he said that the gold artifact was found in the upper reaches of the small river in the southeast dense forest, and there should be only this river nearby, so he can't be wrong." ”

"If only they could know the exact route they took to find the ruins. Wisdom said from the side.

"How is it possible, if it were you, would you tell someone?" Bardem scoffed, "Alright, let's rest for a while and have something to eat." ”

When everyone heard this, they found a tree stump and sat down, drinking water and resting.

"Captain, shall I go hunt some prey and come back to eat?" said Switz to Bardem.

"Forget it. It's important to hurry, it's best to be the first to get to the ruins, if it's late, not only will the good things be found, but the competition will be fierce. Surely we weren't the only ones ready to go looking for the ruins. ”

Jimi listened, "When I inquired about the news, I knew that there were at least three squads ready to follow the team that found the gold artifact. However, the team also knew that it would not set off so early, and it should last a few days, and then set off secretly. ”

"We didn't have much time, but luckily we found the creek on the first day, and then we went upstream, and the direction was at least determined. ”

"Yes, if we hadn't been here before and knew where this river was, I guess it would have been more reliable for the adventurer team to guard the gold artifact. Wise said.

Yao Lao put away a few herbs on the road and said to them: "When we get to the destination, we will first set up a raft, hide it, and when we have a harvest, we will go directly down the river and leave quickly, so that it will be much safer." ”

"Yes, yes, you're still reliable. What are you going to do if you have a harvest this time?" asked Bayeru.

Baden listened and said, "I'm going to go back and find a woman to marry, and after so many years of wandering, it's time to settle down." ”

"Me too, I guess my childhood sweetheart girls and children are all elder. Wisez also said.

Yao Lao listened to their words, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't say why. He didn't expect to find a wizard this time, after looking for so many years, he hadn't seen a single wizard, and he was almost dead.

They rested for a while and started to go back on the road, going up the river, which was much easier because of the alluvial gravel beaches on both sides of the river that had been deposited during flash floods.

A team of people walked for two days, and they finally saw the traces of man-made engineering, it should be here, after all, there is no one to lead the way, if there is no second ruin in this jungle, this is the ruin that the adventure team is looking for.

It was a dilapidated ruin, full of broken walls, and you can see some tall stone pillars standing here, which were already crawling with moss and vines, most of which had fallen and broken into several large pieces. But none of this is as attractive as the one in the middle, which is a trapezoidal, pyramid-like building, very tall, a little higher than the city walls. Directly opposite the group was a large gate, which had opened a crack in the door.

There are traces of being searched around, and many of the signs of collapse and broken branches are new. There are still a lot of newly dug pits in the ground, which should be left by looking for basements - who is so creative, is this going to dig three feet into the ground? This kind of basement is too inefficient.

"Look around, there are people here, I don't know if it's the last wave or the new wave that is ahead of us. Badem instructed everyone, "If there are people, gather and try not to fight, because if you waste time, the people behind will catch up." Jimmy and Bayeru, the two of you, go and make a raft and hide it by the river. ”

Half an hour later, except for the two people who made the raft, they all came to the entrance of the ruins, and Si Waits said: "I didn't find anyone, I looked at the broken branches, the juice was dry, it shouldn't have been these two days." ”

"It must be the traces left by the last wave of people, I saw that there was a buried fire, and the firewood and charcoal in it were damp, and the person who made the fire should have been gone for a long time. Bardem also said.

Yao Lao nodded and said, "I didn't find anything, no one." ”

Baden breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there are no others, let's go and help Bayeru and them make a raft first, and then we will explore this ruin." Be prepared for conflict, not all adventurers are as sane as we are. ”

After that, the group went to help make the raft. In the afternoon, when the raft was ready, they hid it in a bush, covered it with branches, and returned to the ruins to begin their exploration in earnest.

"It looks like a temple, it's so tall, and it doesn't look like a city. Only a temple would be built in such a place, it would be in this shape. Bardem spoke to the others about his observations.

"The stones here are weathered, it must have been many years, estimated to be thousands of years. I've never seen this kind of temple, and I don't know what gods are enshrined. Jimi also said.

"Probably the unique gods here, there should have been natives living here in the past, all of them have been assimilated, if there are local elders, you may be able to guess what kind of gods are. But the temple is much better than the tomb, at least there are no mechanisms. Yao Lao's words, everyone was happy.

"Let's go, let's get ready, go directly to the temple in the middle and have a look. Baden said, calling the building in the middle that was still preserved a temple.

They prepared torches and stuff, one by one, and squeezed through the crack in the door into the temple.
