Rushing into the cave was not Lawrence's impulse, but the result of his careful thinking. On the one hand, although his golden finger can quickly increase his strength, it needs to be fed with various resources.
Doing nothing here will obviously not bring him any benefit at this time.
On the other hand, the information he just asked from the gunman's mouth allowed Lawrence to confirm that entering the ruins did not pose much risk to him. In this case, he would naturally decide to take a gamble.
The moment his body came into contact with the black mist, Lawrence felt like he was walking into a cold storage in autumn, feeling that the cold air around him was constantly drilling into his body along his pores. Fortunately, the area covered by this mist was not very large, and this feeling only lasted
In a few seconds, he successfully broke out of the black mist.
After breaking out of the fog, Lawrence saw an almost straight cave in front of him. At the end of the cave, green light shone in from the entrance on the other side, and it also illuminated the road at Lawrence's feet.
"No wonder the guy outside screamed so hard just now and the people inside didn't notice anything was wrong." After passing through the fog, Lawrence realized that the black fog had a strong sound insulation effect. When he came to the other side of the fog,
At that time, I found that I could not hear any movement outside the cave, but instead heard the noise coming from the other end of the cave.
"The next step is to see if I can get through it." Lawrence mentally put his hand on the pistol, and then walked inside step by step, imitating the actions of the gunman who was tied up by him just now.
The cave was not very long, and Lawrence quickly passed through the cave and walked out of the entrance on the other side. At this time, he found that the situation here was exactly the same as what the gunman had described before: the underground lake had indeed disappeared, and it was originally covered with green crystals.
The small island in the lake has now become a highland standing out there.
After hearing Lawrence's footsteps, a man who was sitting on the high ground leaning against a huge green crystal stood up, and then made a mocking voice to Lawrence. "Pete, why do you go to the toilet for so long? Is it...
Is it because of prostate problems?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other people standing on the Crystal Highlands also laughed loudly. As they laughed, Lawrence lowered his head and stepped on the dry bottom of the lake step by step towards the high ground.
"No -" Just eleven or twelve meters away from Lawrence, the person who had spoken before finally saw something wrong with Lawrence through the green light emitted from the crystal. "You are not Smith -
—”
As he spoke, he tried to get the pistol hanging on his waist. After hearing his warning, others also grabbed their own firearms. But by this time, it was already too late for them.
"Pah, pah, pah -" Just as the gunmen on the high ground were reaching for their guns in a panic, Lawrence quickly pulled out his pistol from the holster on his waist and pointed at them and fired five shots in succession.
The marksmanship acquired from Anne Oakley was extremely effective at this time. Lawrence's bullets were flawless within a distance of more than ten meters. After the five gunshots, the five gunmen who had been standing on the high ground covered their wrists.
Dropped the pistol.
"Gentlemen, I hope you will come down now with your hands raised." Lawrence pointed his gun at the guys on the high ground and said. "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I guarantee the safety of everyone here."
"Do you know that our boss, Baron Gonzalez -" a gunman threatened loudly, and the content was nothing more than how many powerful people their boss, Baron Gonzalez, knew, and how powerful his power was.
"Shut up! I'm here this time because of your boss." Lawrence pointed his gun at the group of guys and said, "If your boss hadn't been related to the power of the lower plane this time, there would be no need for me.
Now take such a big risk and come here with the church members and the witchers."
"What?" "Colluding with evil forces." "Impossible." The gunmen looked at each other after hearing what Lawrence said, because these words made them feel very shocked.
In this world, although extraordinary beings are only a very small part of the human race, all normal humans know what the lower planes represent. They also know that various countries and organizations will give the lightest sentences to those who dare to collude with the lower planes.
It is a life-long hard labor, so no matter how many backers Baron Gonzalez has or how powerful the forces are this time, they cannot save him.
"You're lying, don't listen to me -" "Pah -" At this time, a gunman suddenly grabbed the shotgun next to him, and at the same time shouted something in an attempt to encourage other gunmen to resist, but unfortunately his movements were obvious.
Not as fast as Lawrence. Before his fingers touched the shotgun, Lawrence raised his hand and shot a bloody hole in the guy's eyebrow.
The other gunmen were a little commotion after hearing this man's instigation, especially when they discovered that Lawrence was holding a revolver. But after Lawrence pulled out another pistol from his body, the group of gunmen immediately
He raised his hands and became quiet.
"Very good, gentlemen. Thank you very much for your cooperation." Lawrence looked at the guys in front of him and pointed the gun at them. "Now come down from the high ground, and then tie up the hands and feet together."
After a standout was shot in the head, the next work became much easier. The surviving gunmen immediately became as docile as lambs. In less than a minute, the group of people followed Lawrence's instructions
He asked to walk down from the high ground, and then tied himself up tightly.
After carefully checking to make sure that these guys were tied up firmly, Lawrence dragged all the people into the cave. Then he stepped onto the high ground full of green crystals alone.
When transporting the group of gunmen, Lawrence also roughly observed the surrounding situation. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that the internal structure of this mysterious ruins cave was not very complicated. For example, the entire ruins were just this big cave, and the surrounding areas
They are all ordinary stone walls. After the underground lake disappeared, only a flat sandy land was left.
From this point of view, if there is any secret in this cave, it can only be found in the high ground full of green crystals hidden in the center of the cave.
With this idea in mind, Lawrence stepped up to the high ground step by step. I don't know whether it was out of absolute confidence or showing off, but the people who built this place didn't even think about hiding the most important things here. So when he walked up
When we reached the high ground, we discovered the most crucial thing on the high ground at a glance: a huge green crystal.
Different from other crystals on the highlands, the size of this crystal stands out among the crystal clusters in the highlands. It is one and a half stories high and requires two people to hug it. The most eye-catching thing is not the size of this crystal, but the crystal.
Something wrapped inside.
"What is this?" Lawrence frowned as he looked at the thing wrapped in crystal, because he had never seen such a strange thing before.
The thing wrapped in the crystal looks like a cane, but the shape of the whole cane is very rough: it looks like a basically untreated wooden stick, with only two ends and two holes in the middle.
It's just a gold hoop inlaid.
"So, what should I do next?" Looking at the wooden stick embedded in crystal in front of him, Lawrence suddenly didn't know what he should do next.
