Chapter 38 The Mysterious Ruins

"You mean that you don't like me? You are so boring. I lent you the car in vain. Is this how you treat people who have helped you?"

Long Na looked at Peng Jiang with a flushed face, and if it wasn't for her status as a knight, she would have asked Peng Jiang to meet at the martial arts competition a long time ago.

"I didn't dislike you, because the first day I met you, I felt that you were relatively poor, and you probably couldn't come up with 1000 million Wu coins."

Peng Jiang looked at Long Na calmly, but the other party suddenly laughed, Wang Fukun was a little confused.

"You laugh and get angry for a while, what's going on?"

"I laugh because your knowledge is too short. The missions entrusted by our Knights are basically paid by the higher-ups, and no matter what the mission is, it is very dangerous, so we agree with the three things you said."

Long Na arrogantly glanced at the two of them.

"How much is the key point first?"

"From 5000 million martial coins!"

"How much?" Wang Fukun said excitedly.

"The remuneration will definitely not be less for you, as long as you do the task well, now I will tell you the content of the task, and you can talk about it if you think it is okay."

Peng Jiang raised his hand to signal Takina to continue.

"This task requires you to investigate four ancient ruins. These four ruins have not been investigated since they were fought hundreds of years ago."

"There was no need to investigate, because recently we discovered that the ruins in the four directions of east, west, north, and south have changed, which is affecting the monsters raised by the people in the capital."

"At the beginning, it was because the monster beasts suddenly became violent and didn't attract much attention. Then even the god beasts went out of the city a little restlessly."

"We followed closely and the beast entered the ruins, and there was no breath of it anymore. We suspected that the beast was in danger."

"As a result, after two days, all four ruins experienced changes visible to the naked eye, and a black energy shrouded the surroundings, so we need someone to go in and investigate."

Peng Jiang listened and thought about the danger of this matter, and asked: "There are so many people in your Royal Knights, I want to know why you are looking for us?"

Takina knew that she still couldn't get rid of the final important reason, and sighed: "Actually, the Royal Knights are very important to the entire capital and other cities in Vulcan Kingdom, and it costs a lot to train a member of the Knights, so if you don't know clearly The Knights are not allowed to take risks before they are in danger."

"You don't want to take risks, so let Brother Jiang and I go to die? You are really outstanding!"

Wang Fukun said seriously with displeasure.

"I'm sorry, I know this may be a bit selfish, but you who have experienced the battle of Yicheng know how important a city's guardian is to the people!"

Peng Jiang stood up touching his chin and said, "There is nothing selfish or not. You have your responsibilities, and you will be paid to find us. I don't care about your motives."

"I only know that this task is very dangerous, and the workload of exploring the ruins in four directions is also heavy. Combining these two things, 5000 million is not enough!"

"Then how much do you say before you are willing?"

"One of the four ruins is 5000 million, and the four add up to [-] million. I will refuse."

"Then I'll ask the higher-ups for instructions."

Peng Jiang looked at Long Na who was pacing back and forth on the phone, waiting for her answer.

"Well, okay! Got it!"

After finishing the phone call, Long Na looked at Peng Jiang and said, "The above said it's no problem, as long as you are willing to go, you will pay half of the deposit immediately."

"No problem, people who leave the map can leave, I will let you know if there is any news."

"Oh! Is that how you treat your guests?"

Takina said dissatisfied.

"Please!"

Peng Jiang made a gesture of invitation, Long Na didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and left the office angrily.

"Brother Jiang, you can really negotiate to increase the price to [-] million!" Wang Fukun admired.

"This task is very dangerous, and [-] million is not enough."

"Then why are you still answering?"

"Although it's dangerous, if it's done, our firm will gain a reputation in the capital. It's worth taking the risk to build a reputation."

Peng Jiang laid the map flat on the table for inspection, and it marked the specific locations of the four ruins, which was very convenient.

"Brother Jiang, you still think long-term!"

Wang Fukun also walked over to look at the map.

"The closest is the ruins to the south of two hundred kilometers, then to the west, to the east, and finally to the north."

"Brother Jiang, which one shall we go to first?"

Wang Fukun looked at the map and asked.

"It must be the latest inspection, call Shangjing and Linger to set off tomorrow morning, make preparations before going!"

The two went to the second floor together, Peng Jiang called Jing to go home together, and Wang Fukun planned to live in the office alone from today.

The three of Peng Jiang came to the office early the next morning to meet Wang Fukun. The four of them only drove one car to the suburbs, because there was a protective cover, they had to abandon the car and walk.

The outskirts of the capital is a large basin, and the scenery is also very beautiful. Unfortunately, people dare not go out for outings in the outskirts full of monsters and beasts. If they are not careful, accidents will happen.

Only some warriors and mech fighters would form a team to go out to practice. Most of the monsters on the outskirts of the capital are monkey monsters and cow monsters, and the most powerful ones are leopard monsters.

As soon as they arrived in the outskirts of Pengjiang, they took out the shark-tooth sword and released the sword energy to frighten the low-level monsters. The ordinary monkey monster and cow monster immediately fled the four of them when they saw the golden sword energy.

Peng Jiang is not interested in these first-level ordinary monsters. What he is interested in are intermediate-level monsters, and the experience value of killing a wave is very considerable.

"Is this the monster of this world?"

Jing asked curiously, and Ling'er couldn't help laughing.

"You look like me when I first came to this world, just get used to it."

"It's the first time we've come to the outskirts of the capital. I heard that there are monkeys and cows everywhere, and there are leopards!"

Wang Fukun interrupted.

Jing didn't answer in embarrassment. Peng Jiang walked ahead alone with a map. His idea now is to get to the ruins quickly, and his idea is to go deep and find some mid-level monsters to upgrade.

To the south of the ruins was a piece of green grass. All the four of them felt the vitality of nature along the way, and they didn't feel any danger at all.

However, as you get closer to the ruins, you will find that there are fewer and fewer green grasslands, and judging from the distance, the ones that are a little further away have turned yellow and withered.

The surrounding area is barren, with black air flowing everywhere, and the trees withered are only dead tree frames, without any vitality.

"The closer you get to the ruins, the thicker the black airflow is, and this airflow can no longer be called airflow, it should be called dead air!"

Looking at the scene around the ruins, Wang Fukun was very surprised. What kind of force could turn the surrounding into a lifeless look.

The four stood at the entrance of the ruins. The four ruins were all caves. Peng Jiang had already inquired clearly before coming here, but judging from the current situation, the inside of the ruins must be unusual.

"Don't think about it, let's go in! Be careful!"

The inside of the ruins is damp and dark. Although it is daytime, it is difficult for people to distinguish the road with the naked eye. Peng Jiang put away the shark-toothed sword and released the real fire of Samadhi in his hand, illuminating the surrounding scene.

The death energy in the ruins became stronger, and the four of them opened their protective shields to resist the erosion of the death energy. Wang Fukun also took out a long gun and held it in his hand to strengthen his courage.

Inside the ruins are endless stones and some caves. The four of them entered about 200 meters and found nothing abnormal. After advancing about 500 meters, they found that there was a black light emitting from the corner in front of them.

"There is a situation ahead, pay attention!"

Peng Jiang reminded.

Ling'er and Jing also released their respective weapons, and the four of them walked slowly towards the place where the black light radiated. Peng Jiang stood at the corner and slowly probed out to observe.

The black light emitting from the corner is a black spar, Peng Jiang saw that it was just a spar and there was no monster, so he walked over slowly.

There was nothing abnormal when I walked all the way to the black spar, and the three people behind me also followed up to inspect the spar, only to see that the black spar emits a little light every one or two seconds.

After the light radiated out, it turned into black dead air. After seeing it, the four of them understood that the dead air was caused by this spar.

"Besides the dead air, I don't know if there are any other dangers. I'll try it with shark teeth after you three back off!"

After the three retreated two or three meters, Peng Jiang took out the shark-toothed sword and slashed at the spar. The surface of the spar was not damaged at all, and Peng Jiang slashed hard again and it was still intact.

"This spar is unusual, the shark-tooth sword cut it off without any damage." Peng Jiang said in surprise.
