Chapter 10 The Ruins
"Hoo ho ho", before the flames arrived, the heat wave was already hitting my face.

Behind the gate is a deep corridor. Near the door, there are two metal statues on the left and right sides. The metal pipes that spit out flames are held in the hands of the statues. The angles are crossed, so that the spreading flames can just burn the door. Every space.

The scorching flames spurted out, and the first person to bear the brunt was Macajron, who was standing happily at the door. The halfling was still in excitement, but when he saw the sudden fire in front of him, he was already swallowed up by the flames.

At the moment when he was engulfed by the flames, he saw from the corner of his eye that his teammates had already stretched out their defenses to keep the flames out, and they were gloating at him.

"Hey." Mobak roared at this time, and took two steps forward to block the subsequent flames for him. The fighting spirit condensed into a shield in front of the dwarf, so that the flames could only escape from his two sides. Sliding sideways.

"Ahhhhhh", the painful scream came from the mouth of Macajerun who had turned into a fireman. The sudden blow stunned him, and only then did he remember that he should deal with it on his own.As a result, the belated fighting spirit popped out of the body and dispersed the flames attached to the body surface, avoiding the fate of being burned to ashes.

However, the flames can be dispelled, but the traces left behind cannot be dispelled. The front of the halfling's body has become scorched black, exuding the aroma of barbecue. Severe pain radiates from every muscle, making him exert great effort. , can he control himself from crying out in shame.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him, no one even looked at him.

One of Pavatiga's combat principles is that dealing with the enemy is always more important than helping teammates. Any rescue action must be carried out under the condition that the enemy will not be threatened.When seeing a teammate injured, he rushes over to rescue him desperately. All such idiots would have died long ago.

"Mia, put out the fire."

"Nair, Ohm, Saka." The mantra came out and the temperature dropped sharply.In just a few seconds, the flames all over the sky suddenly disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

"Push forward and get the goal."

Moback held the steaming shield in front of him and rushed through the open door like a chariot. The huge square shield protected his short and thick body, allowing him to minimize the attacks he received.

Behind him, the shy Saf looked serious at this moment, silently following the dwarves like a shadow, only one step away from each other.This distance is very convenient, as long as there is an enemy attacking Moback, after a round of attack is blocked, Saf can rush into the enemy's position as quickly as possible, interrupting the enemy's offensive.

"Whizzing."

Four throwing spears flew out after grazing the bodies of Saff and Moback, and disappeared into the dark and deep corridor like lightning, followed closely by four more feather arrows. The feather arrows arrived first, shooting into the darkness earlier than the throwing spears.

Without any hesitation, Ms. Lin Jing launched an attack on possible enemies.

There are no intelligent creatures in the projection of other worlds, so there is no need to worry so much. Moreover, even if they encounter a rare accident and encounter intelligent creatures, it will only be considered unlucky for them. It is better to take the initiative than to be preempted. Much.

However, a moment later, a subtle metal collision echoed from deep in the corridor. Carefully distinguish the number, and it was obvious that the spears and arrows did not hit any target.

"It's safe for the time being, and no enemies are found." The female swordsman wearing glasses seemed to be used to using hearing instead of vision. At this moment, she simply closed her eyes, nodded slightly after a while of silence, and her voice returned to the original Soft and waxy.

"Stay where you are and don't move forward." Xiuer has no intention of triggering a new trap. After all, the old trap is still in front of him. "Mia, are you sure the trap has been eliminated?"

"No problem in the short term." The elf mage said coldly, "I froze their fuel."

"Fuel? How could the fire be extinguished so quickly?" Shuer was stunned, then patted his forehead and said mockingly, "I didn't realize it for a moment. It seems that according to the rules of this world, combustion can be carried out only by fuel. , no elements are required to participate.”

"It should be, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast."

"It's similar to the rules in my hometown." Xiu Er sighed softly, and he was sure that there would be no more flames for the time being, and only then did he have enough time to face the poor halfling.

"According to the order of the Dark Moon Goddess Luna, regenerate this person's body and redeem this person's soul." Facing Macajerun, Shuer held the holy book in one hand and continued to draw strange words in the void with his fingers. Divine power The coercion can be vaguely detected from the text, "Shout the holy name of the Lord and send down the sacred moonlight to calm the pain of his body and mind."

Countless weak points of light floated out from the holy book and submerged into Macajron's body. The halfling only felt severe itching in his body. The charred and dry skin quickly fell off, and the red, tender and fresh skin once again covered the body surface.

The whole process only took less than a minute, but to the halfling, it seemed like hundreds of years had passed. This itchy and painful feeling was simply indescribable. The halfling never wanted to experience it a second time.

"Thank you." He quickly took out his spare clothes and put them on. The itching sensation seemed to still linger on his skin. The halfling looked uncomfortable, but he still lowered his head and apologized, "I'm really sorry."

"I wanted to treat you again in 10 minutes, but in order not to waste other people's time, I will let you go this time."

"Getting carried away is your biggest problem. It doesn't matter when you are outside, but if you still act like this when chasing shadows, you are seeking your own death."

"You have indeed done a good job, and you should be proud of it. It is completely understandable, so no one will stop you. Even if you lose your life because you are too proud, it is your own choice, and we have no right to interfere, but , you have now affected the safety of other teammates because of your complacency."

"If this wasn't a world where energy was thin and we could only rely on thermal weapons and physical combat, the trap just now might have caused other teammates to be injured because of you. This is something that cannot be tolerated, and you must learn a lesson. "

"When you chase shadows in the future, remember the lesson of this time. Especially when you are proud, think about the pain just now. I think that can calm you down."

"Sorry, I remember." The halfling was also scared in his heart. Fortunately, what he encountered was just a simple flame. If it was the legendary special explosive weapon unique to low-energy alien projections, just this time he Mistakes may result in irreparable consequences. "Just remember the lesson." Shuer patted his shoulder and softened his tone.

"Xiuer, come and see, these people are so interesting." Mature and naive, this is the call of the forest spirit.

"Huh, what's wrong?" Xiure smiled. Whether it was intentional or not, it was always very comfortable to have someone help control the atmosphere in a timely manner.

"Look at these statues, they are just a group of frogs walking upright. I have never heard that there is a race of frogmen among the orcs."

"We'll talk about the frogs later, Macajron. The structure of the gate has not been damaged."

"No, the structure is complete and can be locked." Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Moria, the halfling had already adjusted his mentality.

"Very good, seal the door and ensure safety behind it. Moria, confirm the environment."

"It's been confirmed, it's safe." Lin Jing thought for a moment and added, "Those ubiquitous particles in the air are gone."

"Okay, the breathing restrictions are lifted. It seems that the airtightness here is very good, but I don't know how long the gas here can be breathable. Hmm... Militty, here..."

"No soul energy."

"Well, there are no creatures, at least no living creatures." Shuer nodded and said thoughtfully, "This must be the ruins of intelligent creatures. It seems to have been abandoned for at least several decades. We are the only visitors for many years. "

"Perfect, now stay on alert, Mia, shine."

Xiu Er did not choose the moonlight technique, after all, the moonlight technique of the Dark Moon Lady was too dark.

There was not even a spell this time. The elf mage quickly turned her fingers a few times, and seven or eight balls of light flew out from her fingertips, floating and swaying forward. Every once in a while, a ball of light would stick to it. At the top of the corridor, a cool but bright light shines.

As the darkness faded little by little, the entire corridor finally appeared in front of Shuer.

This is a corridor made of pure metal, which can accommodate four people walking side by side. It is at least more than 80 meters long. No wonder it took a while before Moria's spears and arrows hit the wall.

At the end of the corridor is another closed door, similar in style to the one at the entrance. It is also thick and strong. It seems that this is the second layer of protection for the ruins, and the real ruins are still inside.

In addition to the two entrances and exits, one at the front and one at the back, there is also a door on the left and right sides of the corridor. However, these two doors are far less thick and spacious. Apart from being made of metal, they look just like ordinary household doors. There is no difference in the door.

The entire corridor is empty, there is no blind spot in the line of sight, and you can have an unobstructed view from any angle.

"Macajron, check the trap. Don't move the door at the end for now. Mia, go and seal that door with ice later."

"Understood." Mia nodded, "It seems you plan to use this area as a base."

"Well, if nothing else, this corridor should be the buffer zone of this building. The two rooms on the left and right, one is the reception room and the other is the guard room, both have no way out. In other words, this area is relatively independent The space, especially the guardhouse on the right, can be used as a base."

As security became higher and higher, Shuuer talked more and more, explaining in enough detail.

"Huh? How are you sure that the right side is the guard room?" The necromancer raised his eyebrows, not sure.

"The statue holds the weapon with its right hand behind, and the guard room is on the right, allowing them to attack the entrance as quickly as possible." Shuer imitated the statue and turned around with the pipe in hand, and raised his voice and shouted, "The situation ahead How about it?"

"There is no trap." The voices of the halfling and dwarf came back from afar.

"Mia, go seal the door. Moria, follow." Shuer waved towards the end of the corridor, "Makajelen, you two come back and open this place."

"Understood." The halfling who had made a mistake was extra cautious now, and knocked on the door on the right side of the corridor for a long time to confirm, "Uh, there are no traps here, and the doors are not locked, they are rusted."

"Bang", after receiving the signal from Shuer's eyes, Moback shielded himself with a shield and kicked the door open.

"Well, what a surprise." Xiuer's pupils shrank as soon as the door opened.

It was indeed surprising, because in the room behind the door, there were several corpses, corpses of humanoid creatures.
