Blood Candle Keep Disciple

Chapter 367 The Wisdom of Mortals

While Zhen Cheng was busy arranging to deal with Earl Consramue's plot, the Earl's exploration team had already encountered even greater trouble.

"Let's go back, Lord Laiji." A blood slave staggered.He has the initial strength of [Dianguang], and is one of the three captains sent by the Earl to help Butler Laiji.

Another captain followed suit and said, "There are only four of us left in the 24-member team. My lord, even if we return without success like this, the Earl has no reason to hold us accountable anymore!"

The voice of the third leader came from the end of the team, and it seemed very weak: "If we return now, at least we can pass back how deadly the danger in the ruins is, the means to overcome the desperate situation, and the abnormalities that taught the explorers.

Otherwise, it will be like the previous team, unable to bring back any information. This is the biggest dereliction of duty! "

The leading butler Leckie sighed, his voice no longer had the calmness and ease he had in the Earl's Castle, but instead, there was a frenzy of paranoia:

"Listen, the voice is ahead. I can guarantee that we will reach the core of the ruins in no more than 5 minutes, and find out what secrets are hidden here."

The four walked in file in the ruins.Butler Laiji took the lead, and each of the three blood servant captains held a weapon in one hand, and supported the shoulder of the previous one with the other.

As for the current situation around the ruins, no one knows whether it is the inner corridor of an ancient building or a natural underground cave tunnel; whether it was transported to a sunny valley or in a strange world.

Because all four of them lost their eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, his shoulder was suddenly pinched hard by the big hand that was supporting it, until it forced him to turn around.

"Wake up! Master Laiji! Think about how we got here! Think about our current situation!" The first captain shouted:

"If the front is really the core of the ruins and the source of all danger, do you think it is possible for us to leave here alive?"

The captain at the back also repeatedly echoed: "My lord, we know your loyalty to the Earl. But this is also the same for each of us. This is destined by the blood flowing in our bodies, and it is an undeniable fact.

But it is precisely because of this that we need to leave here alive and bring the information back, so as to avoid greater losses to the Earl. "

Finally, a weak voice continued: "Master, just imagine. If we all die here, what will happen next?
The reason why the Earl is so eager to send you all in to explore, it shows that the outsider whose background is unknown and who suddenly intervenes in the lower city has brought him great pressure.

If we all die inside, think about it, is it possible for the Earl to come down to explore in person under tremendous pressure?
But do you still remember the exclamation of the naturalist at the entrance of the ruins?Remember that wreck of the escape pod?This relic is very ancient, and it is a product left over from the underlying cosmic technology.

It may be even older than the history of our Royal Court of Vatican Baye, at least it is also the early days of the Royal Court, the era when the first ancestor, the Holy Emperor, expanded his territory.Is that what the old doctor said?
Obviously, it is not something that can be considered with the strength limit of the lower city at all, and it is not something that the Earl is capable of handling alone! "

The four lost their eyes at the same time, not from some kind of trap or curse, but blinded by their own hands.

There were a total of 24 explorers in this team, 12 of whom, including Lecky, were the elite soldiers of Earl Consreimu; four professional scholars, including archaeologists, naturalists, historians and Austrians An expert in spell runes and organ traps;
The last eight are the explorers who survived the remaining ruins during the first exploration of the ruins, and they come from eight different church forces.

Casualties began to appear after entering the first secret room of the ruins.This historic site buried deep underground for tens of thousands of years does not seem to be an ancient tomb or a place of knowledge inheritance, but a huge trap completely constructed of distortion and malice.

The only purpose is to strangle all those who dare to covet.

With advance warning and adequate preparations for danger, the expedition team finally broke through the many malicious traps in the front of the ruins after spending six lives, and came to a cave that was as intricate as an ant's nest without any artificial traces.

The six dead included three elite soldiers, a church member as well as historians and rune trap experts.Both the soldier and the church explorer died in the deadly mechanism trap in the ruins, but the two scholars died very strangely.

The first to die was the historian.After seeing a relief mural, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he studied it repeatedly for more than ten minutes.

Just as Lecky was thinking of leaving a soldier to accompany him to investigate and lead the team to move on, the old scholar suddenly shouted: "My God! I understand! This is the myth..."

As a result, his words stopped abruptly here.

In retrospect, Lakey felt that it wasn't because he suddenly didn't want to finish the second half of the sentence, but because he lost the ability to speak.

At the same time, he seemed to have lost his vision at the same time, and ran wildly in panic with his hands outstretched; he also lost his hearing, completely ignoring the warnings and calls of the team members behind him.

In the end, he slammed into a mechanism that had been discovered and clearly displayed, and was smashed into meat sauce by the suddenly falling ceiling stone slab.

Laiji realized that there might be important clues in the mural, so he ordered people to take a comprehensive photo of it, but he didn't dare to try to interpret it inside the ruins.

In contrast, the rune trap expert was the last of the six to die.

This is a white-robed mage of the Eye of Mystery School.

Like all the mages of the Peeping Eye, he has shown his superb skills in deciphering all traps along the way, and once he encounters a situation where he has to make a move, he can only swing the bastard fist like a mortal.

Lackey is actually very grateful for the professional talents of this junior magician, otherwise, considering the degree of danger they experienced along the way, it would be considered normal to increase the number of deaths by ten times.

But when the last rune formation was cracked, the most serious accident happened.

I don't know if the rank of the white-robed mage is not enough, or if opening the path is destined to mean sacrifice and danger.When the rune scholar completed the arcane arrangement and everyone saw the intricate natural corridor for the first time...

His head exploded like a watermelon.
