"You've been standing here for over half an hour, and what do you see inside the black column?"

Jiang Yingxue's inquiry voice came from the left, and she could hear that she had been waiting very anxiously during this time.

"This central totem has been controlled by the Illusion Core, and Gogol's soul is also in it."

The concise description surprised both Jiang Yingxue and Ah Long, in their concept, Gogol had died in the previous outpost research base.

"Is there some secret passage between the outpost research base and this ancient ruin?"

This was Jiang Yingxue's first reaction, and after saying it, she was even more surprised by the existence of Gogol's soul here.

"Gogol's soul is inside, has he taken control of this ancient ruin?

Was he responsible for the previous attack?

What happened to you with him in the black column?

Is it so simple to leave inside, is it just to talk to him inside for half an hour? ”

The question in Jiang Yingxue's heart erupted like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and after speaking, she also glanced at the crystal nucleus in Bai Ning's hand.

At this time, the crystal nucleus was obviously much darker, and I didn't know if the remnant soul stored in it had been sucked into the black column.

"These questions are not important, we will go to the rescue of Ivan and the others first, and if it is a little later, they may be wiped out."

Bai Ning moved his body and quickly moved closer to the tunnel location pointed out by the core of the illusion.

As soon as she heard that Bai Ning had also gotten information about Ivan and others, Jiang Yingxue could only keep up in shock.

The three of them worked hard to excavate, and finally saw a passage blocked by fine dust, and continued to dig more than ten meters into it, and a dark hole was revealed.

The space below was still covered with a lot of dust, but it was barely supported by some large rocks.

The three of them barely got in, and a faint fishy smell spread along the faint air, like a stench produced by animals living in groups.

"It's a rat-like nest indeed."

Along the way through the narrow tunnels, there are traces of living creatures everywhere, a large number of fallen hairs can be seen everywhere, and some biological residues are even more shocking.

Finally, after detouring for more than 100 meters, she finally arrived at a very open area, and seeing some young mice moving in it, Jiang Yingxue finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Be careful to traverse this area, our destination is not here."

Bai Ning whispered a reminder behind him, and the three of them tossed and turned lightly through the pile of rocks, and finally came to the corridor that led directly to other areas.

As soon as he stepped in, Bai Ning smelled a faint smell of blood in the outflow of air, and there had been people dead in this tunnel.

Aaron explored the way ahead, as always, and the three of them moved as fast as they could, and it didn't take long for them to find several naked corpses in front of them.

Judging from the strong smell of blood around it, it must have just died, and it is likely that it was used as food by rat-like creatures.

The three of them stepped forward and hurriedly took a few looks, all of them were tragic deaths with missing arms and legs, and the remnants of their facial organs proved their white identity.

"The body is in the stage of corpse stiffness, and the time of death will not be too long."

Aaron made a slight judgment, which also seemed to indicate that Ivan and the others might still survive now.

"No gunfire or explosions were heard, and it could be very far away from us."

Jiang Yingxue also immediately added, and as soon as she finished speaking, a familiar "popping" sound suddenly came, it was a rat-like creature arriving.

This is not the time to clash with rat-like creatures, all three are now at the downwind, and the smell of blood on the corpses is masking the smell, as long as they are quiet, they will not be detected.

The sound of "banging" came and went faster, and the smell of fresher blood filled the entire tunnel, and the three of them leaned over to take a closer look, and found that the corpses were even fresher, and some of them seemed to be still bleeding.

"With such a fresh corpse, could it be said that Ivan and the others have been wiped out?"

There was no gunshot, and the corpse was so fresh, Ah Long was also a little difficult to accept at this time.

It's not a pity for Ivan to die, but Xiaohu and Lone Wolf are still in Ivan's team, and the three of them are like brothers, even an iron-blooded man like Aaron can't hide the sadness in his heart.

"There were no gunshots, maybe they were trapped in a secret room, or maybe something around them was absorbing sound well.

You'll have to see for yourself what the results are. ”

According to the clues that I had before, the illusion core should have the intention of using Bai Ning's power to resist the management core, even if it wanted to trap Bai Ning, it would not send Bai Ning to death in this way.

Based on this, Bai Ning felt that it was still necessary to continue to look for Ivan and the others.

Hearing Bai Ning's judgment, Jiang Yingxue only waved her hand and motioned for Ah Long to continue to open the way in front.

In a short time, the three of them had reached the end of the tunnel, and there was a much wider space in the eye, and there were many shadows in the range of light, as if they had suddenly appeared in a dense forest at night.

"What is here?

A labyrinth of illusions? ”

Looking at the green plants that appeared in the field of vision, Jiang Yingxue instinctively asked.

"It's not.

This is supposed to be the place where the ancient ruins used to keep animals in captivity, but now it is the night of the ancient ruins, so it will be pitch black. ”

The sudden appearance of the illusion maze was meaningless, so Bai Ning's first reaction was the real scene.

"That's not a good thing either.

The giant creatures, scavengers, and rat-like creatures that I encountered before were not easy to mess with.

Now, once we step into it, it may be really bad luck. ”

Breaking into the dense forest infested with wild beasts at night is extremely dangerous from any point of view, Jiang Yingxue doesn't think that Bai Ning will take such a big risk for Ivan and the others.

Even if there are still Xiaohu and Lone Wolf in Ivan's team, this is also a problem for Ah Long and Jiang Yingxue, and Bai Ning will definitely not do some irrational behavior because of the variables of these two people.

At this time, she pointed this point out vaguely, just to see what Bai Ning wanted to do.

At this time, Jiang Yingxue was also a little puzzled, since Bai Ning came into contact with the black column, he seemed to have opened the whole map, neatly found the tunnel hidden in the dust pile, and set the current first goal to find Ivan.

is so unusual, it must show that there must be something big in Bai Ning's heart.

"No matter how dizzy Ivan is, no matter how desperate he is chased by the beasts, he will not go deep into the dense forest.

The space here is basically a very large underground chamber, so Ivan is most likely advancing against the wall.

What we're betting on now is whether to the left or to the right. ”

Bai Ning did not respond positively to Jiang Yingxue's question, and the current topic is still limited to Ivan.

"To the right, the rat-like creature is running out of the dense forest on the right."

As he spoke, Aaron pulled the two of them towards the stone wall to the side, avoiding the large number of rat-like creatures that had rushed out of the dense forest.

Seeing this scene, the three of them no longer hesitated, and moved directly along the stone wall on the right side to the depths of the dense forest.

A few hundred meters away, the three of them seemed to be able to faintly hear the aftermath of the gunfire drifting through the air.

"There are gunshots, and they are still resisting."

Finally about to meet Ivan and the others and reveal the secret of Bai Ning's search for Ivan, Jiang Yingxue was so excited that she was about to run directly in the direction where the gunshots came.

"Don't worry.

There was movement in the nearby forest. ”

Ah Long grabbed Jiang Yingxue, who was rushing forward, and pointed to a bush not far away, which was stumbling inside, and something seemed to be moving.

"Don't shoot, it's me."

Just as Bai Ning was about to shoot the creature in the bushes, a low Russian voice suddenly came out of it, listening to the timbre, like Ivan.

The three of them quickly approached to take a look, and found that it was Ivan lying on the ground, his legs bright red, and it was obvious that he was not lightly injured.

"Why are you alone? What about the others?

What about the gunshot just now? ”

Jiang Yingxue asked a few words in Russian, and with Ivan's greed for life and fear of death, he seemed to know that he should have seen that the situation was not right, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape alone.

Everyone is dead, only Ivan is left, and this rendezvous seems to have become worthless.

"The last wave of beasts was too strong, everyone scattered to break through, and the people who followed me met a wave of rats, and everyone else was already dead, so I was left."

Ivan's tone was sad, as if he was very sad and indignant about what had happened to him, and as if he was feeling unworthy of the death of his men.

"What about the second and third?

Are they dead too? ”

Hearing Jiang Yingxue's translation, Bai Ning directly interjected and asked.

You know, they haven't seen the second and third among the previous corpses, and where can these henchmen who followed Ivan go.

Hearing this, Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then slammed the ground hard.

"In the earlier wave of beast attacks, the second and third children were scattered, and their lives are now uncertain."

Ivan's team of 100 people, coupled with a large number of heavy weapons, could not even defeat the biological attacks here.

You must know that the carrying capacity of the underground ecosystem is limited, and this boundary does not seem to be large, how can the captive beasts in it be the opponent of Ivan and others?

"How many giant creatures are attacking you?

After so many battles, even if there were no explosives barrier on the perimeter, you shouldn't be so vulnerable. ”

The worse Ivan's team was beaten, the greater the danger here, and with this little light weapon in their hands, it was a bit of a fantasy to successfully get out of here.
