"There is still a long way to go before we reach the Documentation Tower. It would be a bit risky to continue going forward." The professor frowned and said.
They also encountered many crises along the way. Most of them were avoided, but there were still a small number that could not be avoided. Even if they managed to escape in the end, they would still be exhausted now.
If there is another crisis, in order to ensure that no personnel are lost, their pioneer team will have no choice but to return to the pioneer camp without success.
Naturally, Locke couldn't let the team go back in such a mess. It was for the sake of the elven documents that he didn't listen to Mayer's advice and took the risk of leading the team into the depths of the ruins.
If he goes back now, the loss will naturally be minimal. Although he will not bear any infamy, he will never be willing to do so.
Therefore, even if he was lying, he would not make their current situation too unpleasant.
"It's not that far away. We have walked quite a distance. Although the ruins of the Third Dynasty are large, they are not larger than a city. Believe me, we are very close to the Document Tower." Locke said firmly.
.
The professor just frowned and did not reply. He looked at the Documentation Tower, which towered as if it was piercing the sky. This was undoubtedly the most iconic building in the entire ruins.
It is even higher than the city wall and is extremely conspicuous in the city of the Third Dynasty, as if it is right in front of you.
But the professor knew very well that it was just an illusion caused by the giant. They were still far away from the Documentation Tower.
At this time, the professor couldn't help but begin to wonder why Locke wanted to enter the Elf's Documentation Tower.
Is it really to bring elven documents back to the association for scholars to study?
I'm afraid that's not the case. There are other desires driving him to continue taking risks. No matter what they are, they will definitely not be the research spirit of scholars, but selfish desires!
There is nothing wrong with the existence of selfish desires. The professor also has his own selfish desires in his heart, but his selfish desires will not cause bad consequences. I don’t know if the same is true for Locke’s selfish desires.
The professor's worry was not noticed by others. The pioneers would only obey the captain's order and continue to move towards the Document Tower. They did not know what was waiting for them ahead.
At the same time, the young pioneer on the wall of Latamedaya was sitting idle with the dry food he had just torn open in his hand.
The adventure he imagined was not as boring as the current one, where he was thrown by the captain on the wall of Latamedaya and guarded by an unknown old man alone.
What could be more boring than this?
The young pioneer sighed. As a young man in politics, he couldn't bear the feeling of doing nothing, but now he couldn't do anything else. He could only watch the dark clouds in the distance with the old man beside him.
Suddenly, the young pioneer trembled. He looked at the dark clouds in the distance in disbelief, his face full of shock.
"Dark clouds? Why are there dark clouds? Where do they come from?" There was nothing on the horizon just a moment ago, so why are there so many dark clouds now?
This is obviously abnormal. No, it should be said that there are no normal things in the abyss.
No matter what the dark cloud was, it was definitely not a good thing in the abyss. The young pioneer immediately cheered up, feeling that he shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving the entire team.
He needed to remind Captain Locke, who was deep in the ruins of the Third Dynasty, that something strange had happened in the distance.
"It's coming."
Just when he was making plans, the young pioneer heard the old man's hoarse voice coming from beside him.
Is it coming?
What does it mean? What does it mean?
The young pioneer was full of doubts, and he looked at the old elf with wary eyes.
The old elf's blurred vision was still staring at the distant sky, but now there was a slight smile on his face, full of tranquility and peace, as if he was welcoming warmth.
"It's coming to pick me up."
The old elf's cloudy eyes may have long been unable to see clearly, but the young pioneer knew that it was what the old elf was watching over.
Descendant of Yagudori, Lestrang!
The moment the idea appeared, the young pioneer felt horrified. He could no longer keep calm. He used magic to strengthen his vision and looked in the direction the old elf was looking. Although the things he saw in the distance were not very clear,
It can be vaguely distinguished that a huge body is slowly moving this way under the black clouds.
"What is that!?" The young pioneer felt that his whole body was cold and cold sweat was flowing from his forehead.
Is that huge black shadow Lester?
What a joke!
With such a terrifying size, if a human stood in front of it and was only the size of an ant, it would be a walking monster, an unrivaled and terrifying existence!
Why does this kind of monster appear in the abyss with a depth of 140?
Is it really like what the old elf said, that the monster came to pick him up?
All speculations are meaningless. The young pioneer is still inexperienced and cannot face things beyond his own knowledge. The only thing he needs to do now is to remind Captain Locke who is still deep in the ruins.
A long-lasting red magic bullet was thrown into the sky, and a sharp cry like a bird's song pierced the silent abyss ruins. The red light floated above the head, warning everyone who could see it.
...
Lilina in the ruins couldn't help but cover her ears. She just felt that the sound was too harsh. When she reacted, a red flare appeared in the sky.
Lilina said: "What is that?"
At this time, Esther and Crow also raised their heads and looked at the red magic bullet in the sky.
"Signals among the Pioneers of the Association."
Lilina nodded and said without thinking: "Then I guess something big must have happened."
Esther looked at Lilina with a horrified expression, as if she was saying that she guessed it right given her IQ.
"What's that expression on your face!" Lilina showed her fangs and said in a snarl at Esther.
Ignoring Lilina's nonsense, Esther said: "No matter what happened, the association's red magic bullet is a warning."
"It is impossible to use red magic bullets in periodic changes. Red magic will only be used in crises that may lead to the annihilation of the entire pioneer team. We must also be prepared to deal with dangers." Crow said with a serious face.
She had always been so serious, saying that they were going to face a big danger, but her face was extremely calm, and she didn't seem to be panicking at all.
On the other hand, Lilina's whole body began to tremble like a vibrator after hearing Crow's words.
