Strength is the hard currency in the abyss. People with weak strength will only become a stumbling block for a team in the abyss, or even more seriously, cause trouble for the entire team.
This is why the professor mentioned the strength of Esther and others. What he really wanted to express to Locke was that their existence would not hinder the entire camp. To put it bluntly, they would not cause trouble to the entire camp.
Locke glanced at Est for a moment, and his first impression of Est was that he was just a young man. He could save the professor from the abyss with a depth of 124, so he had some strength.
Thinking of this, Locke did not have any contempt for Esther. He stretched out his hand and said friendly: "Welcome to the association's pioneer camp. You can move freely in the camp. Other pioneers will be in charge of you later.
To help you understand the distribution of the alien species in the nearby abyss, I don’t have much time. I believe you have seen on the way here that there are some problems in the camp that I need to deal with."
After accepting Esder and others, and chatting with Esder for a few words, Locke left the camp.
After Locke left, Esther looked at the camp. At this time, the professor said: "You can live here first, and then decide on the rest."
"No problem." Esther said. Living in a tent in the abyss was already a luxury. Most of the pioneers slept in the wilderness.
After that, the professor also left the camp. He came to the camp to analyze the ruins. The pioneers explored the outer layer of the ruins before the professor arrived. The things brought back from the ruins still need to be interpreted by the professor.
There are many abyssal relics among them, and it is one of the professor's responsibilities to figure out their functions.
Generally speaking, the professor's current job is relatively easy. If there are no accidents in the pioneer camp, a team will be organized to accompany the professor to the middle or even deep levels of the ruins after he arrives.
However, due to the scarcity of supplies in the current camp and the reduction of the protective scope of the protective shield, the area explored by the pioneers will also be greatly reduced. After the last group of pioneers completed their ascent, all exploration of the ruins has stopped.
After all, there are no more FM timers left for the pioneer team to enter the ruins and explore.
Locke's face was cold as he left Esder. He returned to his tent as quickly as possible. At this time, Mayer was waiting for him here.
Locke stood in front of Mayer and asked with a cold face: "Didn't you say that the professor is dead?"
"The problem is that he is still alive and well now."
"It seems he is very lucky." Mayer replied coolly, not wanting to pay attention to Locke's cold tone.
"Even if he is alive, it won't have much impact on you. I am the one who should be troubled by this, so you don't have to speak to me in this tone." Mayer said.
"You?" Locke said disdainfully, "If only the professor comes back, I really don't need to worry about it, but the problem is that he also brought back several outsiders, several outsiders whose origins I don't know at all."
"Don't tell me that you can't even deal with those people. Is this what captain-level pioneers are capable of?" Mayer shot back.
Locke had no intention of quarreling with Mayer. The elves' arrogant character did not allow themselves to be insulted. Even though their numbers were running low, they could not abandon the arrogance engraved in their bones. Locke walked back and forth in the camp,
Esther's strength may not be simple, otherwise he would not be able to save the professor from the abyss with a depth of 124.
The original pioneers in Professor Bittle's team should have all died under Mayer's illusion in the cyclical changes with a depth of 124.
With Mayer by his side, Locke knew very well what the abyss cycle at a depth of 124 was. There were as many abyssal evil species as locusts. Even the captain would find it difficult. If it were him, without protection,
If the equipment such as the cover is not used, I am afraid that it will only be killed in one cycle.
Not to mention that the abyssal evil is just a symptom of cyclical changes, and the dangers under the water are even more terrifying. Even the professor doesn't know what the black flames he learned from Mayer's mouth are.
"They want a map of the abyssal alien species with a depth of 140," Locke said.
"They want this?" Mayer frowned.
"I think you have understood now that their original destination may be the depth of 140, and as far as I know, the only area of high value in the abyss of 140 depth is your ruins. Those people are very
Maybe they came here for the ruins." Locke looked at Mayer and said sarcastically.
If it is indeed a trouble for them to enter the ruins, it doesn't matter if they are weak and will only die in the ruins, but the key is that they saved the professor from the abyss cycle, which may cause them some trouble.
"I have to confirm the specific details with the professor later, at least to know the approximate level of their strength, but you'd better not have any hope." Locke said.
Mayer stood up. It was time for him to leave and return to the ruins.
"We never had hope."
...
"Are you going to explore the ruins, or should you go to other places first?" Esther asked the two of them for their opinions.
"Is there anything special in the abyss ruins?" Lilina asked.
"It will be more or less special than other areas. Most of these ruins are full of mysteries. I don't know who built them, when they appeared, and who lived there. Some of them fell into the abyss from the real world by accident, while some were originally in the abyss.
exist." Esther explained.
"If you want something interesting, I suggest you go to other areas first. Most of the ruins are boring relic mining and document collection." Crow said at the side.
The ruins with a depth of one hundred and fourteen are the largest ruins discovered by the association within a hundred years. Its scope has not yet been fully calculated, but it is estimated that it will not be smaller than a city.
The current location of the camp is only on the outer edge of the ruins, and what we can see is only the tip of the iceberg of the ruins.
"In other words, there will be more things found in the ruins." Lilina asked.
"That's usually the case." Crow affirmed.
"In that case, let's explore the ruins first." Lilina said without hesitation. She glanced at Esther. Although they had plenty of time, Lilina did not forget their purpose of diving into the abyss.
Est did not come here to take her on a trip, but to find traces of the Cappadocia clan. No matter how willful Lilina was, she would never do anything to embarrass Est.
Seeing Lilina say this, Esther smiled indifferently. He also guessed Lilina's thoughts.
He didn't think it mattered, after all, no one stipulated that the Cappadocia clan would definitely operate near the ruins.
