"What? Is there another enemy attack?"
"Are they from the Nashi tribe? Or are they from the Nake tribe? It can't be that -"
"Where did all these weird tribes come from! Stop scaring people, okay? If we really provoked so many tribes, we should have perished in the torrent of history!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Get ready to fight! You guys... uh."
The migrating Sioux convoy was in chaos for a moment as the sound of arrows passed by. The Sioux warriors who were originally guarding the convoy heard the sound and hurriedly aimed their spearheads at Baibu Wushuang's reminder.
In the direction where the sound flew, Duan Qing and others who also reacted also opened the originally closed door of the carriage with their own complaints, but the figure who wanted to save them suddenly appeared in front of them.
A little girl stopped me and said, "There's no need to go, he's gone."
"Mengzhu?" Looking at the familiar figure with some surprise, Xueling Huanbing finally asked in surprise: "Where did you go again? We thought you -"
"Just walking around, I didn't run away." After whispering this sentence, the thief known as Mengzhu hid his expression between the lowered hood: "And there are always people in the team.
There should be a patrol, otherwise if something like this happens, your response will be too slow."
"Are you sure it's not because you don't want to be among a group of us?" Duan Qing on the side rolled his eyes and teased: "I know that the atmosphere where we grown men gather together is not suitable for girls, but you
There’s no need to show your opposition so obviously—hmm.”
"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore." As if he was warned by Xueling Huanbing's eyes, the gray-robed magician then changed his helpless eyes again: "So, what is the situation?
"
"I don't know either. Anyway, I rushed there as soon as possible." Still maintaining a cold attitude, Mengzhu's answering voice also became deeper: "Except for Baibu Wushuang's arrow,
I didn’t see any other figures, but if I had to tell them apart, the black dots disappearing in the distance do look very similar.”
"In other words, there are people lurking near us, and we retreated quickly because we noticed their presence?" A strange light flashed in his eyes, and the one-armed player named Asahi Dongsheng looked towards the direction where the noise was gradually coming out.
Said: "Ha, they run really fast."
"It's also possible that they were aware of our existence in advance, so they ran so fast." Squinting his eyes, Gedmane replied in a low voice: "Or... they had expected us a long time ago.
We would find them, so we evacuated early.”
"Want to lure us? Lead us into an ambush?" His eyes also began to become sharp, and Xue Ling Huan Bing replied with a cold face: "Very good, it seems that the conspiracy has been calculated to this extent.
.”
"Anyway, don't act rashly. After all, our status is limited now." Pointing to the back of Surtu who had started leading people in that direction, Duan Qing concluded in a low voice: "Since it is very likely that it is between tribes.
If there is a conflict, it would be better for us to leave it to an authoritative party to handle it."
"At least we should follow him, in case we really encounter an ambush or something." Asahi Dongsheng was the first to stand up and suggested: "It would be good to tell him the intelligence and speculation we have obtained."
"Don't forget that there is an archer with good eyesight. He should be able to tell Surtu the corresponding situation." Duan Qing pointed to the unparalleled figure still standing above the caravan carriage not far away. Duan Qing was not there at all.
He waved his hands with satisfaction and said: "We don't need to consider strategic issues, we only need to consider combat issues, and -"
"Such a flat grassland, as far as the eye can see is a vast plain." He jumped out of the carriage in front of him and walked slowly forward along the grassland on the edge of the seaside: "It is hard to imagine that if you want to complete an ambush and sneak attack in such terrain,
How blind do you need to be to avoid being discovered by us... huh?"
The undulating slopes were slowly thrown at the feet of several people as they moved forward, making the equally green wilderness in the direction where the commotion came from become increasingly clear, with looming large fallen pillars and ruined walls.
As this piece of green grass and wilderness extended, it gradually appeared at the far end of Duan Qing's field of vision: "This, is this a slap in my face?"
"Those are... ruins?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who also noticed the obviously abnormal existence in the endless wilderness, held his chin up, also showed a surprised expression: "The ruins on the grassland? There are actually them on the grassland of the Wind Continent.
Are there really ruins?"
"The ruins definitely exist, whether it's from Fula's description or from my 'memory'." Duan Qing nodded his head and closed his eyes, then turned his deep gaze again.
Appearance: "But to meet one so quickly is really beyond our expectation."
"Okay, now even the terrain for ambush has been prepared." He pouted his lips, followed Gedman, who came forward, and then placed the shield in his hand heavily on the ground: "It's a distance from us.
The previous conjecture is getting closer and closer. You crow’s mouths, if there is really someone hiding inside-"
"If I remember correctly, there should be Sola ruins there."
The calm voice then interrupted the conversation between several players, and was accompanied by the sight of the tall and burly figure belonging to Surtur gradually approaching: "It may also be called the Ruins of the Wind, which is located in the Sola area.
One of the most famous places.”
"Calculating the distance, we should almost be near this ruins."
After dismissing the Sioux soldiers around him, he then continued in the direction pointed by Duan Qing and others: "Although it is a relatively safe place, even I would not choose that place.
It serves as one of the tribe’s resting places.”
"Why, that ruins are dangerous?" Duan Qing muttered the name again, and asked Surtu slightly strangely: "Can you introduce it to us?"
"No, I have never been to that place." Shaking his head, Surtu replied in a low voice: "After all, it is located in the Sola area, and it is too far away from the original territory of the Su tribe. Except for places like
Under such special circumstances, it is impossible for us to have any interaction with this ruins."
"Do you want to take a detour?" Looking at the direction of the ruins again, Duan Qing suddenly suggested: "If you are really worried, avoiding potential dangers is the most appropriate choice."
"We can't let my people go swimming." He pointed to the sea on the other side, and then his eyes drifted to the depths of the grassland on the left along with his indifferent voice: "If we go east
, we have to go deep into the Sola region. Not only is this inconsistent with the promise made by the Nasu people before, but I don’t want to have any more dealings with those people."
"Maybe they want to take the initiative to deal with us."
After muttering these words, the man named Asahi Dongsheng then turned his attention to the outline of the collapsed pillars at the far end of the grassland: "If you must pass by that ruins, there is a possibility of being attacked.
It’s very high.”
"According to what the archer said, he did not see the departing monitors running into the scope of the ruins." Surtuna shook his head, and there was a bit of worry in his answer.
Signs: "But this does not mean that there is really no one there. Everything is unknown now."
"So? Do we pass or fail?"
"It's up to you to decide."
Facing the gazes of several people at the same time and the questions they raised after exchanging glances, the man named Surtu suddenly showed his smile: "I have heard legends about adventures from your mouths countless times.
, you are indeed all qualified warriors in terms of exploring ruins and discovering the unknown."
"Why not leave the solution to this problem to you professional warriors?"
***************************************
"It's really...huh, huh...unlucky."
Some time later, in the depths of the grassland, a few breathless voices rose from the team of players who were gradually approaching the ruins: "Why do we always... hoo, hoo... encounter such... unlucky things?"
matter……"
"Looking at the mountain and running to death, it turns out that the same is true for the grassland." Xueling Huanbing, who stopped in front of the ruins together and looked up at everything in front of him, did not feel tired at all at this time: "Who asked you to
The load is so heavy, let alone a war horse, even running on its own is so strenuous."
"I, at least I managed to carry it down and ran down." He wiped the sweat from his face vigorously, and then the big shield warrior named Gedman pointed behind him with an unconvinced look: "
It's not like a certain magician and alchemist running so slowly without any weight!"
"Who, who said that! I also worked very hard, okay?" Duan Qing, who was also looking like he was about to fall to the ground from exhaustion and panting heavily, raised his head with an unconvinced look on his face.
: "And we also need to be well prepared, right? If there is an ambush, we can't just be helpless, right?"
"Did you feel anything unusual?" So Xue Ling Huan Bing turned her questioning gaze in other directions: "Have you sensed the breath of a living person?"
"No."
"I don't have one here either."
"……No."
"It would be better to say that the air here seems to have gotten better... Oops, wait until I finish."
Amid the responses that surrounded him, Duan Qing, who had just muttered, then covered his beaten head: "I mean, this place looks like a place that no one cares about! Look at the appearance of these ruins.
And there’s all this moss all over the stone surface!”
"Indeed, at first glance, it seems that no one has been here for a long time." He reached out and touched the surface of the bright green stones. Gedman, who took the lead to step forward, released his fingers on the shield and kept moving.
Moving back and forth: "Although this is certainly not the only entrance to this area, there seems to be no sign of activity in other places."
"How did this area survive until now?" He looked up and looked at the gray broken walls and stone pillars that were still crisscrossing in front of him, almost as tall as a person. He crossed his arms and looked at Chaori Dongsheng in front of him with a strange expression on his face.
He asked: "Isn't there strong winds blowing all year round in the Wind Continent? It's hard for us to see even larger rocks."
"Not everything cannot be left on the surface. There are even surviving trees on the back slopes of some grasslands." After shaking his head, Duan Qing, who had also recovered, stood up straight:
"But this shouldn't be the reason why we can see this complete ruins now."
"I can feel that there is still a lot of remaining magic energy surrounding this area."
Making a warning gesture towards the others around him, the gray-robed magician then took the lead and walked slowly towards the ruins in front of him. The people belonging to the Qingling Adventure Group also followed their respective standard preparation postures,
Digging hard along the ruins with no roads visible. The irregular gray-white broken walls and the weeds scattered around blocked the players again and again. The ancient and lifeless walls
The breath also continued to hit his face. Gedman, who was supposed to be at the front to explore the path, then crossed Duan Qing's footsteps and slowly raised his shield in front of his eyes that were constantly patrolling back and forth: "Magic
Does anyone need to stay behind when the array is activated?"
"Of course not, but the premise is to see what kind of technology they use." He answered the other party's question in a low voice, and Duan Qing, who was also constantly patrolling around, slowed down his steps again: "If it is using
It’s okay to use a remote control array. There are many ways to interfere, but if a timed array is used—”
"In any case, an ambush can only be launched after the target is determined." Xueling Huanbing, who was at the center of the team, then responded in a low voice: "We are now considered part of the ambush, and everything should have met the requirements.
If they ask for activation, it depends on what choice they plan to make."
"Can't we put the initiative into our hands?" Duan Qing took out a glass bottle with a light blue potion shaking, and stared at the surroundings. Then he also let out two low laughs: "Maybe the surrounding grasslands will be destroyed."
There are only a few ways to isolate the strong wind. The more advanced the method, the less likely they are to use it. Taking these comprehensive factors into consideration, the only remaining method is——"
"This is it."
He uncorked the bottle and poured some black powder into it. Then, as the gray-robed magician hurriedly threw it forward, strange magical energy bloomed in a certain direction in front of the ruins.
Come.
