Heroes of Invincible Beast Master

Chapter 47 Ancient Ruins
After figuring out the actual effect of the wolf's roar, the sky has already darkened.

Today's Roddy also gained a lot, but he didn't intend to just rest like this.

"We must quickly explore the secret passage."

An adventurer's hall will be built in the Gnoll Valley soon, and by then, the entire valley may be full of players.

While the Adventurer's Hall is still under construction, Rody wants to hurry up and explore this mysterious ruin.

Came to the Gnoll Valley, where it has been blocked at some time, and a group of craftsmen are rebuilding the checkpoint.

At the passage of the checkpoint, a team of guards blocked it, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

After inquiring, Rody learned that a large number of construction materials will be delivered soon, and this valley is about to start a busy construction period, which is temporarily closed to players.

The entrance was not allowed, Rody left the valley, opened a trick fog, and flew in directly from the mountains.

Arriving at the entrance of the secret passage, Rody skillfully opened the mechanism, lit a torch, and entered the secret passage again with Xiong Da.

This time, they came to explore, so they walked very slowly.

While groping for the mural, Rody looked around, trying to find some important clues.

"Boss, look here." Not long after, Xiong Da found a strange carving on a mural.

"demon?"

This is a ferocious monster with horns on its head and bat wings on its back. Its image is very similar to the legendary demon.

"What are these murals?"

Luo Di couldn't figure it out, so he could only take a picture of the mural, and was going to ask someone on the forum, maybe he could get some clues.

After walking for a while, they came to the hall again.

Nothing changed in the hall, and Rody didn't find any important clues.

However, the east passage, the one where they had found the elf agent, ended in an abandoned laboratory.

At that time, Rody was surrounded by enemies on both sides, so he didn't have time to explore at all, but this time he wanted to explore well.

When he came to the abandoned laboratory, Rody didn't rush to search, but went directly to the organ where Nova summoned the minotaur.

"This is it."

There was a strange key stuck in the organ, and Roddy tried to pull it out.

"You have the Orc Key."

Rody picked up the key and looked at it for a while. The head of this key was a ferocious skull with horns on its head, which had a very strange shape.

"Look again."

With new discoveries, Roddy's soul of exploration began to burn.

He searched the entire laboratory carefully and found that most of the facilities here had been sabotaged.

Roddy guessed that it should be the group of elf spies who did it.

The leader of the spy must know something, but unfortunately, his strength was still a bit weak, and he failed to capture her alive.

Continued searching, found nothing.

"Go, go to the opposite passage to have a look."

The west passage, that is, the passage with the two bull-headed statues at the entrance, has a distinctly large footprint.

This is left by the Minotaur.

Roddy adjusted his formation, let Xiong Da play forward, and entered the channel cautiously.

There is also a laboratory at the end of the west passage, but this laboratory is several times larger than the one on the east.

Inside the laboratory, huge Petri dishes are everywhere.

This laboratory is still well preserved, and for some reason it has not been destroyed by the elves.

In these petri dishes, Rody saw many strange, deformed, twisted and mutated horror monsters.

"Reconnaissance."

Roddy tried to get some information, but unfortunately, after some reconnaissance, he only got a bunch of reminders that the targets were dead.

In the deepest part of the laboratory, there is a huge broken petri dish. Judging from the footprints on the ground, the Minotaur seems to have crawled out of it.

"Boss, it's so weird here." Xiong Da tugged on Luo Di's sleeve, he was a little scared by the monster in the petri dish.

"Don't stare at them, it will drop the SAN value."

This laboratory is indeed a bit intrusive, and Rody doesn't want to stay longer.

After searching carefully, without finding anything else, Rody led Xiong Da back to the hall, and came to the Chimera Passage in the north.

"Who built this hall?" Until now, Rody was still at a loss.

Not long after entering the Chimera passage, Rody came to a mysterious room.

"You discovered the ruins of an ancient mage."

As soon as he entered the room, the system prompt sounded quietly.

"Ancient Mage!?"

It turned out that this is the relic left by the mage.

The mysterious room at the end of the passage is not big. There is a huge disc in the center of the room, surrounded by many bookshelves.

"You discovered an ancient astrolabe."

Rody came to the astrolabe and found that there were three slots in the center of the astrolabe.

"Three?" Rody tried holding the orc key, and it fit easily into one of the slots.

However, after inserting a key, the disc did not move.

"There are two more?"

Where to find this, there is no clue at all.

Roddy pulled out the key and came to the surrounding bookshelves.

It has been abandoned for a long time, and the books on the shelves have long been damaged.

Rody searched carefully and almost turned over the entire room, but found nothing.

"Oops, what should we do now?"

This relic is not usually large.

Maybe you can try it with scouts, but scouts are only Tier 1 soldiers after all, and Roddy doubts whether the skills of scouts can pass the hidden judgment of the ruins.

"Looks like I need to find someone to help me."

Rody tried to contact the mystery solver Blunt Angle, and told him what happened to him.

Obtuse Angle immediately expressed that he was very interested in this ruin.

But unfortunately, he has just arrived in Halfling Village, and now he has a lot of tasks on his shoulders, so he really can't spare time.

But the obtuse angle reminded Rody.

In this game, the more advanced the puzzle solving, the more dangerous it is.

Don't try random astrolabe like the one that Rody encountered, if it fails to crack, it is likely to trigger extremely bad events.

"It's troublesome now."

Rody took the scouts around the ruins for a long time, but they didn't find anything.

In the end, he had no choice but to set up a camp in the ruins, and then log in to the forum, trying to find some clues in the forum.

This is a game that many history buffs, especially academy-born players, have a great deal of lore at their fingertips.

Therefore, on the forum, there are many well-organized "World Background Stories".

It didn't take much time for Rody to find a biography that recorded the history of mages. After looking through it for a while, he actually found relevant clues on it.

"I see!"

After reading this piece of mage history, Rody finally understood what was going on with the demon on the mural and the orc key.

It turned out that in ancient times, Purgatory invaded the main material plane for the first time on a large scale.

In order to resist the invasion of purgatory creatures and to obtain more slaves, ancient mages captured a large number of barbarians and demons for blood experiments.

The experiment was very successful, and the first batch of orcs were born in the laboratory.

Orcs have low intelligence, but they have extremely strong bodies.

Most importantly, the materials were easy to obtain, the manufacturing process was simple, and the output was high. Orcs quickly replaced puppets and golems and became the favorite slaves of ancient mages.

In fact, the value of orcs is far less than that.

Because of the blood of the devil hidden in the body, the orcs are very suitable for fighting against the creatures of purgatory. The ancient mages relied on the orcs and once counterattacked into purgatory.

But when the first Purgatory Invasion ended, the orcs who had made great military exploits did not improve their social status in the slightest.

The content of this biography ends here for the time being. The author is still sorting out and updating it. There is a long history behind it, which records why the orcs revolted and how they overthrew the rule of the ancient mages.

There is a lot of content and the history involved is very exciting.

Luo Di took a look at the author's update speed, it was less than 2000 words per day, you little scumbag.

"Quick change, GKD!"

A reward of 100 forum coins, Luo Di bookmarked this post.

"The origin of the Orc Key has been clarified."

"So where are the remaining two keys?"
