Gently pushing aside the gray-black grass blades in front of her eyes, Xue Ling Huan Bing's movement of probing her head finally paused for a moment, as if she was testing something, and then she also shook off her tied white hair.
Braided, he waved to the other two figures who were also following behind him: "Yes, this is it."
"...It's so dark, do you dare to enter?"
"It's time to test your courage. Anyway, I've never gone down there... Phew, look at this black wind, it's like hell on earth."
"Are you leaving? Get out of the way. If you don't leave, I will go down first."
A rustling sound surrounded the center of the ruins for a while, and the figures that were almost submerged by the weeds gradually disappeared at the top of the line of sight, the white cloth boots belonging to Xueling Huanbing.
Then he took the lead in breaking through the endless darkness and stepped lightly on the unknown territory below the deep cave they found in front of them: "Since I changed to the one-handed sword and shield, my body seems to have become much lighter.
Woolen cloth."
"Are you sure it's not because you are also getting stronger?" Duan Qing's chuckle after landing also answered her: "I think you should change the equipment in other parts. How long has it been?
, you are still new to this cloth suit."
"Of course I have changed it, such as applying patches a few times or doing some enchantments to enhance the effect." Patting the dirt and grass clippings on his body, Xue Ling Huan Bing proudly stood up in his white cloth clothes.
He introduced: "Don't underestimate the novice cloth. The novice cloth is very adaptable. Not only can you add effects at will, you can even change clothes at will... Wait a minute, what do you want to do? I don't intend to be you.
I’m an experimental subject, let me tell you first.”
"What you said is so simple and casual. We mechanical enthusiasts will not take action easily. Even if it is really applied to you, it should be a 'trial machine' - hey."
The dark vision was then replaced by a sudden light. The light source illuminated by a black short stick in Duan Qing's hand then interrupted the conversation between the two people like a signal light. A line formed by the soil layer.
The passage then also followed the artificial stone slabs mixed in, winding diagonally toward the depths that the two people could see: "Sure enough, there is really a cave underground here."
"Since they are relics of the same origin, they must have the same structure." Duan Qing took two tentative steps forward with the lighting device in his hand, and then shook his head solemnly: "I just didn't expect it.
, this underground area actually has exposed entrances and exits."
"This is a matter of course. After all, there are monsters entrenched here." The heavy sound of landing then appeared behind Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, accompanied by the burgundy red face belonging to Shi Ayun.
Face: "Earlier, I was still paying attention to where the monsters' lairs were, but they actually dug burrows underground like grass rats..."
"You want to say that this place was dug out by those skeletons?" Duan Qing answered him with a look of disbelief: "Don't say whether they have such ability, even if they really have the ability to dig out, these are obviously like
A place like an artificial ruin is obviously not a place that these simple-minded guys can dig out."
"So I think they are also guests." Shaking his head, Shi Ayun pointed to the front of the dark cave entrance: "All the ruins represent the traces of the ancestors who once lived on this grassland.
It is the crystallization of the history and wisdom they left behind. How could such a place be the birthplace of these undead creatures?"
"It makes sense, but we don't have any ability to drive them out." Duan Qing replied expressionlessly: "There is not much left in the special potion I made with dragon blood. If
If there is still a nest down there——"
"Since they are not naturally occurring monsters, their number should be limited." Duan Qing was interrupted, and Shi Ayun's expression took on a hint of mystery: "For some special reason, they were taken from us.
They were driven out of the underground area, so not only did their number increase, they also became more and more active in the eyes of outsiders. Is this conclusion correct?"
"Sorry, we don't know how to activate this ruins." Duan Qing blinked his eyes and exchanged a look with Xue Ling Huan Bing and replied in a low voice: "Perhaps you still doubt the earth lineage some time ago.
The surge is related to us, but we have never heard of anything, and we have no clue at all if we want to achieve the same effect in this ruins..."
"No clue? This is easy to handle." Shi Ayun gradually put away his sleepy eyes, and Shi Ayun's voice gradually returned to its initial casualness: "As long as we go in and take a look together."
"With the abilities of adventurers like you, you will definitely be able to find some clues by then." He picked up the wine bottle and took the lead in marching towards the depths of the passage. Then he paused for a moment in front of the darkness that was about to submerge: "Why, don't tell me.
You have to back down at a time like this."
"This is also the next question we want to talk about." Before Duan Qing could say his answer, Xueling Huanbing on the side stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't forget the purpose of our coming here, here
It’s not like a location that someone has visited before. Even if it’s Mengzhu, the chance of her getting lost in this place alone is very small.”
"Do we still need to go deeper?" She turned around and whispered to Duan Qing in a calm and clear voice: "Now is not the time to take risks. That little guy shouldn't be here."
"That's right." After looking at the other party steadily for a while, Duan Qing finally nodded his head slowly: "Although I'm very curious about what it looks like down there, I think it's better if we don't go any further.
.”
"Well, what a pity." He waved his hand to indicate the direction in which the two people came. Shi Ayun, who looked at the two players for a long time, then continued to move forward casually: "I won't force you to leave.
Bar."
"Hey! Are you still going down?" He stretched out his hand and called out in the direction of the drunkard. Duan Qing's voice involuntarily raised a few points: "It is very dangerous to be alone! You -"
"Something is wrong." A cold hand then pressed on Duan Qing's shoulder, and along with it came a sudden low warning from Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Keep your voice down! Your voices seem to give them -
"
She didn't say anything else, just because the originally bright light from the hole above the two people's heads also became dim at this time, and the countless black skeletons gathered together in large numbers were also reflected in the light and shadow at the next moment.
There was an extremely harsh sound of bones colliding from above, and they rolled down toward their location like a pile of firewood.
***************************
"Hoo, ho, ho, ho...are you okay?"
Some time later, in the depths of the dark cave, Duan Qing's voice slowly rose from the invisible scene: "Although I was a little panicked, I should have gotten rid of them all... Well."
"anyone there?"
The voice paused for a moment, and when it sounded again it seemed much softer: "Hey, is anyone here?"
"I won't be the only one left, right?"
Then there was a sound of rocks turning over in the darkness, and the sound of debris being mixed and bumped together: "In order to avoid those skeletons who were meeting with us for unknown reasons, we ran together along the slope of the passage.
Go down, and then...then choose the right at the next intersection, and then choose the left...ahhhhhhhh."
"It's really bad." A man's helpless roar rang out in the darkness, and a light shone again in the depths of the dark cave: "The situation couldn't be worse. Not only did we fall into this kind of situation that would not be of any help to the search,
Dead place, and also separated from other people... Poof."
After spitting out the last bit of dust in his mouth, the gray-robed magician pushed aside the bricks and gravel that were pressing on him. He sat up with all his strength and then held his broken arm and grinned for a while.
, and then his eyes fell on the left and right areas of the deep cave that had been illuminated by the magic stick in his hand: "Hoo, ho, ho, ho... Okay, everything has to start again."
"Let's think about it from the perspective of ensuring safety first." He suppressed his breathing forcefully, while tiptoeing down from the pile of rubble he had rolled down: "The first problem that needs to be dealt with is -
"
The low voices gradually disappeared as time went by, and the voices in the cave deep in the ruins also fell silent again. Duan Qing, who was sticking to the edge of the cave, quietly held the light source in his hand and waited for a long time.
, and finally withdrew his attention from the hole that was knocked open: "It seems that he didn't catch up."
"Although I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Calmly watching everything around him, the gray-robed magician began to look at the details around the area he was in: "What if they chase Ling Bing and run to other places?
Or maybe it's because this is not a place they dare to set foot in - well, neither outcome is good news."
"You can only hope for happiness."
After murmuring such words, the gray-robed magician also walked to the center of this area. At this time, the irregular walls mixed with the edges of vague bricks and tiles appeared in Duan Qing's field of vision.
Among them, a scene that was half a cave and half a room was gradually outlined in front of him. Rotten wooden strips and stone strips that looked like decoration were also scattered randomly in the form of fragments everywhere under his feet, and
Accompanied by this are various broken scenes of stone pots and wooden boxes that were also smashed to the ground. The dust in the air in this place seemed to be high because of the impact of Duan Qing who rolled down here.
The high ground rises between the vertical and horizontal beams of light illuminated by magic energy: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it really is a place where people once lived."
"It looks very old." Duan Qing leaned over and picked up one of the tiles scattered at his feet. After examining it carefully for a while, he muttered to himself in a low voice: "The fragments look like they are piled up."
It's full of dust, and the dust that covered it after it was broken... was it broken when you left this place? This place has been abandoned?"
His eyes gradually became heavier and heavier. Duan Qing, who carefully placed the fragment in his hand on the ground, then hastily checked other corners of the room. The lack of any valuable clues made the player put away his exploration carefully.
With heavy breathing, his eyes moved to the opposite side of the room that looked like a door: "Exit? Or entrance?"
"When you leave this place, will you encounter something like a quantum black hole?"
Duan Qing said this half-jokingly, and without hesitation, Duan Qing put his left hand on the surface of the door. The heavy and loud earthquake sound was filled again with countless dust.
It echoed throughout the entire space, but it was caused by the two dark objects falling down on their own - the doors that had been eroded for too long now became as fragile as glass, looking like
The metal-like structure turned into scattered fragments and fell directly in front of Duan Qing. He raised his arms in an innocent manner and then looked around in panic, and then looked around again.
Feeling relieved in the silence, he said: "Huh, I thought something big happened this time... huh?"
"I seem to have heard the wind."
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and the gray-robed magician then walked out of the room with tentative steps. The still dark and dilapidated artificial corridor now also had numerous broken and collapsed pieces on both sides.
The wall appeared in his field of vision in an arc: "It looks like an underground gathering area. Originally, the walls were connected to the walls, and the rooms were connected to the rooms, but -"
"No way."
Following the faint light coming from his hand, Duan Qing's sight quickly focused on the direction he should pay most attention to. The corridor wall that should have continued to extend forward in accordance with the surrounding scene also suddenly appeared in front of him.
It broke and turned into a big gap under the illumination of light and shadow: "Listen to the sound of the wind..."
"The wind tunnel seems bigger than I thought."
Unimaginable possibilities were outlined in his mind. The gray-robed magician walked slowly towards the direction of the gap. A huge and bottomless vast hole also followed him to the broken gap.
The footsteps in front gradually extended into the almost bottomless abyss at Duan Qing's feet, with a whistling sound that could make the eardrums tremble.
