"Those statues are probably the 'guards' guarding the mausoleum, and I don't think we have the power to defeat them! I have to tell you that this ruin is probably not the 'Dawn Ruins' as we guessed!"

Jia Lan pointed to the white marble "statue" that looked like a slight red vein standing in the main hall on the opposite bank: "I'm afraid this is a 'Twilight Ruin' that is older than the 'Twilight Ruins', as far as I know, the 'magic' level of the Dawn Era of the previous civilization, I'm afraid that such an underground temple could not be built!"

The mercenaries looked at each other, and the head of Kenmet asked cautiously, "Then what do you mean?

"Yes, get out of here for a while, and don't come back until we're strong enough to thoroughly probe here... Otherwise, I'm not sure if what happened in that hall would have happened. ”

Jialan nodded cautiously: "To be honest, with my ability, I can't parse the various magic settings in this ruin at all, just like the complex 'magic array' in the main hall just now, I can't even determine its type... We were lucky, we just activated the teleportation array inside one of the ruins. ”

Looking at the mercenaries who seemed to be a little unwilling, Jialan shrugged: "If it triggers the summoning circle or the sealing circle... We may have to deal with a monster summoned from a foreign land, or sealed away forever, like... They're the same!"

Jialan stretched out her hand and pointed to the "statues" of various postures on the other side of the rock bridge, and the mercenaries were suddenly terrified, those "statues" were once alive?

Captain Kenmet swallowed, although he felt a little regretful that this trip to the ruins had achieved nothing, but considering that even Jialan, a mysterious magician, did not dare to continue. For the sake of his own life, he decided to quit here.

Since they decided to leave, the crowd did not pay too much attention, and quickly exited the hall, which looked strange and dangerous, and returned to the circular hall, and negotiated that the head of Kenmet would keep the bronze spear, and Jialan would keep the key and the bronze orb.

In this way, even if one party loses the "key", it will not be easily invaded.

In fact, everyone knows that in the two levels in the circular hall. What really matters is the magic door hidden in the secret door, even if you have the key copper ball and don't know how to open the spell, you can't open the magic door.

The reason why each person is in charge of the "keys" is just a gesture of mutual trust between the collaborators.

Look at the secret method door that slowly closes. Jialan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, as if they just needed to close this magic door. You will be able to put the strange dangers in this ruin. Reseal it up.

But what they didn't know was that after they left the Iwahashi Hall, among the "statues" on the other side of the Iwaqiao Bridge, there was a tall statue with two horns on its head, a stout tail behind it, and a pair of wings behind it. Suddenly shuddered, spilling a large amount of dust, and slowly opened a pair of scarlet eyes......

Exiting the Iwahashi Hall, everyone took a short break in the circular hall. Jialan went to check the passage of the "Jiuyao Palace", and sure enough, as Hugo said, after they were teleported away, something happened to the Dao, and as a result, the entire passage collapsed.

At this moment, even if they want to return to the "Jiuyao Palace", they need to gather enough construction personnel to come over, and it will take a long time to dig out the passage again.

Perhaps unwilling to return empty-handed, under the itchy suggestion of the gold thief Hugo, everyone decided to open the two secret doors due east and west, even if they don't explore immediately, they can still know what is behind the secret door, satisfy their curiosity, and be a little mentally prepared.

But when they opened the secret door due east, they found that the back had already collapsed, and the earth and gravel had silted up the entire secret room, and when the secret door sank to the ground, what appeared in front of them was only an earthen wall.

And judging from the rubble mixed with the earthen walls, even the magic door with the dragon head relief was shattered under tremendous pressure.

Behind the secret door due west, although the secret room is well preserved, the strange thing is that there is no secret method door with a dragon head in relief in this secret room, but a secret magic circle carved on the ground.

It's a pity that I don't know if it's because of the local geological changes caused by the collapse of the "Nine Yao Palace" before, this internal teleportation array has been destroyed by a crack in the rock that cracked from the ceiling to the ground, about three meters wide.

Thankfully, the rock material of the entire ring hall is a special "magic" material that has been reinforced by secret methods, and the quality is quite good, even if the geological changes of this scale have not caused damage to the main body of the ring hall, causing them to collapse and bury them all alive underground.

Everyone was afraid for a while, and Jialan immediately took out a "communication mirror" and contacted Casey and Div on the ground, but the information back made everyone puzzled for a while...... Casey was on the ground, and they didn't feel any tremors, and Castle of Doom wasn't damaged in any way!

Could it be that this geological change is confined to the underground?

Or is this crack not caused by the collapse of the "Nine Yao Palace" at all?

Or is it some other unknown reason that confines geological changes to the underground?

Including Jialan, no one knew the detailed reason for the road, the bottom of the rock crack was not deep, and it was almost filled with collapsed rubble, and the depression was only two or three meters deep, and with their strength, they could easily climb over.

On the other side of the rock crack, there seems to be a huge cavity, which is flickering with fluorescence, so that the opposite side of the rock crack can be faintly seen.

"Shh

Old Jimmy suddenly raised his finger in front of his lips: "There seems to be a voice on the other side!"

Everyone held their breath and listened quietly for a while, and in the space opposite the crack in the rock, there was indeed a sound of nothingness, like the sound of the wind rushing in the air, and as if someone was talking.

"Let's see? Maybe it's the giant rats? Or maybe it's the flying head?"

Captain Kenmet looked at Jialan inquiringly, and pointed to the collapsed pile of rocks in the ring hall: "Maybe this crack has existed for a long time!

Jia Lan hesitated for a moment and nodded, as the new owner of Doom Castle, it was naturally impossible for him to allow the existence of monsters like giant rat swarms and flying head barbarians in the underground of the castle.

The first to pass were the two thieves, who tied ropes to prevent the rubble from collapsing at the bottom of the cracks in the rocks... No one knows for sure how deep the chasm is, and how solid the gravel that fills it is.

Fortunately, Jialan's physical condition was not bad, and she didn't look clumsy when she climbed up and down with the mercenaries, and the group carefully passed through the cracks in the rocks.

On the other side of the fissure is a natural rock cave, the environment is very humid, the air is filled with a strange smell of rotting plants, and if nothing else, there must be an underground water source nearby.

On the walls of this cave, there are a large number of bryophytes, faintly emitting a faint fluorescence in the dark, Jialan touched the slippery moss with her fingers, sniffed the juice on her fingers, and shook her fingers in disgust.

Although this glowing moss looks a bit like "moonshine moss", it has an unbearable rancid smell and is full of unpleasantly sticky slime.

The ground was also covered with lumps of this moss that had gathered together, and every time I stepped on it, I would let out a disgusting "poof!quack!", and within a few steps, my shoes were covered with a thick layer of grayish-white, pus-like sticky.

The group fought their way through the moss area with a feeling of nausea, and found holes in the walls and ground of the cavern, large and small, scattered with dirt and rubble around them, apparently dug out by the group of giant rats and dark demon rats who had escaped.

Captain Kenmet guessed correctly, the rat holes in the ring hall should be connected to these rat holes, through which the giant rats burrowed into the ring hall, and then jumped from the top of the rubble pile into the dungeon warehouse.

And the mother of the flying head is probably also accidentally flying out of the cave through these caves, although it is not certain whether the mother has returned to the ground, but from the instinct of its derivative body to return to the nest after being damaged, it is basically possible to determine their source.

After turning a few corners in the complex cave complex, the eyes suddenly opened up, and there was a huge underground cavity hidden here!

And they also discovered the source of the strange sound they heard on the other side of the rift, an underground river that fell into the fissure underground!

The sound of the roaring water falling, after being refracted by the rock wall, sounded like the sound of the wind when it reached the location where they had just been, and the humid environment created by the underground river, although the environment of this large and complex underground cavern was quite harsh, provided an environment for moss and huge fungi to grow.

Huge mushrooms grow like large umbrellas in the hollows of the earth, not only on the ground, but also on the walls and domes.

In the midst of a fungus that looks like an underground forest, you can occasionally hear the shrill cries of giant rats, and it seems that these fungi provide them with a natural source of food, so they can breed a huge colony, making this place a giant rat nest! (To be continued......
