The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 269 Ruins deep in the desert (two chapters)

It turns out that there is not only yellow sand in the depths of the desert, but also countless oases with lush plants and trickling streams.

After Alan and the others traveled in the desert for almost a month, they finally climbed over a huge sand dune and saw a large oasis covering at least a hundred miles in radius. People couldn't help but marvel at the magic of nature.

The location of the oasis is very special. On both sides are two majestic gray-white mountains that spread deeper. The raging winds of the desert are blocked by the mountains on both sides like barriers. Let the long and narrow oasis be lucky enough to exist forever. Lush bushes and grass cover the oasis. Occasionally, a few tall palm trees rise from the ground. Their slender green leaves are caressing in the breeze. A winding stream slowly flows from the valley in the distance. It extended to the periphery of the oasis and finally disappeared into the loose desert. It is not known whether it was evaporated by the scorching hot climate or directly penetrated into the underground river at the bottom of the desert.

"The valley deep in this oasis is where the ruins are!"

Bonebreaker felt a little emotional. He couldn't remember how many times he had dreamed about this place over the years. Every time, he could think of the tragic encounter that caused heavy losses to his team of more than a dozen people and few survivors.

"In this oasis, there must be traces of snake people and lizard people!"

Allen was watching from the top of the dune, looking at the lush oasis below. He felt that there might be countless dangers hidden behind the shadow of this seemingly peaceful oasis.

"That's natural. When we rushed into the ruins, we encountered several groups of snake and lizard people raiding us. With such a good living environment, there must be indigenous people living in it."

After all, snake people and lizard people are also animals. Animals cannot survive without water and food. If a small and medium-sized indigenous tribe can live in such a desolate desert, there must be a prosperous oasis.

Bonecrusher knew that Allen didn't trust him, and at this time he also generously told what happened when he came in and out of this place, but he didn't hide anything.

"However, the indigenous tribes here are very primitive and ignorant. Even if the tribal leaders are powerful, they are very limited. At that time, our team only had one high-level warrior who could easily break in. With the strength of our current team, it is not difficult to break in. Difficult matter."

"That's the best."

Allen responded noncommittally, keeping his gaze on the green field in the distance without looking back, trying to find any moving or suspicious creatures.

After entering the jungle, the feeling was completely different. The shrubs did not look very tall in the distance, but they were actually tall enough to submerge the six people present. After getting into the shrubs, it was almost difficult to see what was going on outside. After going a few hundred meters deeper, the scorching heat of the desert seemed to disappear, and the surroundings of Allen and the others suddenly became cooler. However, the countless mosquitoes that appeared at the same time troubled the humans and dwarves, and they cursed and tried to drive them away from time to time. With these annoying things.

On the ground, apart from weeds, the most abundant thing is the leaf litter left after the leaves have decayed, with a faint smell of rancidity and moisture. At the same time, traces of other animals can be seen from time to time on the soft leaf litter. One of the trails that is almost trampled on from time to time shows that there is an owner of them in this oasis.

"Bah!!"

A slender stabbing arrow passed by Allen's shoulder and almost nailed Allen's python skin armor. When Allen looked up to look for the attacker, he could only see a man with a long tail and a sword. The back of the snake man slipped away with a slender tube.

"We've been discovered, we have to hurry up!"

Bonecrusher also discovered the enemy at the same time, and then said to the people around him.

"I'll open the way!!"

The two dwarves raised their heavy shields high, one tightly guarded the Bonebreaker, and the other rushed to the front of the team to act as the team's guardian. Following the instructions of the Bonebreaker, they hunkered down and headed towards the valley. Go deep. All the trees and gravel that blocked them along the way were blown away one by one in front of Thorin's heavy shield, which fully demonstrated the dwarf's powerful strength and skillful shield skills.

There were sounds coming from behind and on both sides, and countless vigorous figures began to appear around the team, followed by continuous medium and long-range attacks such as javelins and flying rocks, hitting the direction of the team. This forced the members of the team to use their own methods to resist the attacks of javelins with rocks above their heads, while still continuing to move forward quickly.

After running for more than a magic hour under the attack of countless flying stone javelins, there were more and more figures around him. Allen roughly estimated that there must be at least a hundred snake-men, and his heart gradually Somewhat hazy: "We can't run like this anymore. There are more and more enemies, and we will be blocked in the valley by them!"

Allen was a little discouraged. He didn't know how far the valley extended inward. Going further in would mean that it would be more difficult to go back. With my own strength, I have no problem dealing with hundreds of unadvanced entry-level warriors, but if there are too many enemies and there are several mid-level warriors to restrain me, it will be very difficult for me to escape alone. Something difficult to do.

Allen's words reflected the thoughts of the other three adventurers. Although they were hired by Ye Qian to take risks, it was a matter of life and death, no matter how much profit they gained, they could not buy back their precious lives.

"Don't worry, if you run for more than ten miles ahead, you will see the location of the ruins. It seems to be a forbidden area for these indigenous people. No indigenous people dare to chase us into the ruins!!"

Since the Bonecrusher asked everyone to ignore the snake man's attack and keep running forward, he naturally had a complete plan. This was how their team got rid of the snake natives living in the oasis.

"Suo Shen, you hold me, I will release a few skills to delay these guys."

The spells to protect arrows were cast quite frequently today, and they were about to reach the ruins. Bonebreaker also felt the trouble of the natives behind him, and was finally ready to teach these guys a lesson.

Originally, the kobolds were only one head taller than the dwarves. Now that they have reached old age, they are even more hunched over. In fact, the real height of the Bonecrusher is similar to that of dwarves like So Shen. After receiving instructions from the Bonecrusher, , Suo Shen switched the heavy shield to his left hand, gently touched the Bonebreaker's waist with his right hand, easily picked up the Bonebreaker, and continued to run with him.

Bonebreaker held his breath and adjusted his breathing before long magical syllables began to sound. As the oak cane in his hand drew complex patterns, white smoke suddenly began to rise from the rotten and moist leaf litter behind them, and then lines of smoke began to rise. A wall of fire about 4-5 meters wide suddenly appeared in their path. Several snake-man natives who could not dodge went straight through the wall of fire, and then turned into charred corpses and fell to the ground.

More pursuers, after the magical spell of Bone Crusher was ignited, they hesitated in their pursuit, but soon returned to normal, shuttled between Bone Crusher's spells, and chased deep into the oasis. Near the ruins of the stone building, he cursed and stopped angrily.

No one knows how many survivors of the fallen goddess Mansha once lived in the Mansha wilderness. But what is certain is that these relics have left countless traces of their existence in every corner of the Mansha Wilderness.

The ruins of the stone building in front of him are very similar to the style of the maze ruins that Allen once entered. The stone pillars surrounded by several people, the towering ruins, and even the series of traces in the building that can be seen. The sculpture style shows its former glory to people.

There is no way to verify where the original owner of the ruins went, but even if no one repairs the ruins, none of the almost ubiquitous plants in the oasis can grow in this first-level area, as if there is something The mysterious power is restricting them all. This allows the original appearance of the ruins to be clearly seen by everyone in front of them.

Surrounding the ruins is a square paved with stone bricks in a circle, with gray-white stone bricks guarding the ruins buildings in the middle. Around the square, 12 huge round stone pillars are evenly distributed around the edges, as if 12 giants were guarding the building.

In the center of the building, a stone platform still stands, with a white humanoid sculpture opening its arms as if embracing the world. It's a pity that time has worn away the outline of the sculpture's human face, but the vague existence of the sculpture itself still makes people think about it, as if the owner of the sculpture is a woman with divine light and love who is using Him to... Bright eyes stared at the intruding outsiders, making Allen and the others afraid to act rashly for a while. "Here are the ruins we discovered. Behind this statue, there is a passage deep underground, and behind the passage is a more magnificent building complex."

Bonebreaker looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment and said with emotion.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go down quickly and see if there are any good things inside!"

It was Ye's first time to participate in such an adventure, so his experience was still a bit lacking. Although his eyes were still wary, his eager movements and his excited words had exposed his innermost feelings.

"I think it's better to send someone down to investigate first!"

When Allen said this, his eyes kept drifting to the side of the three adventurers who seemed to be unfamiliar with Allen since they met.

Allen, who is alone, will naturally not trust two dog heads. In the matter of life and death, these three adventurers are more worthy of Allen's trust than the two dog heads. After all, you only live once, and adventurers are no exception.

"There is no need to investigate. At the end of this passage, there is an abyssal thorn tree guarding the door. The adventurers of our team accidentally entered its territory and were strangled alive by it with countless thorns, thorns, vines and roots!!"

"The group of indigenous snake people outside must have suffered from this abyssal thorn, so they regard this place as a forbidden area."

It was only at this time that Bonebreaker finally told the true situation in the underground palace, which made Allen frown in confusion.

Allen didn't know what the thorns of the abyss were, but something that could be related to the abyss would naturally not be simple. When Allen saw that the three adventurers next to him were a little moved, he knew that the opponent in front of them must be very difficult.

"But don't worry, everyone, judging from the situation when I encountered it, its strength is definitely only at the level of a high-level combat class. And I am a fire-type dragon vein warlock, so I have a natural attack advantage against it, even if it comes from The plants in the abyss have a high level of magic resistance, and facing the conflicting fire spells, it will definitely not be easy if it wants to resist my magic!!"

"Everyone, wait for me for a moment. After I recover some of my mana, we will set off to explore downwards."

After saying this, Bonebreaker began to close his eyes and meditate, regaining the strength and energy he had consumed on the road.

Without letting Allen and the others wait too long, Bonebreaker opened his eyes again after meditating on magic for more than an hour, and the previous fatigue was also restored to some extent under this deep meditation. Allen and the others were not idle during the time when Bonebreaker was meditating. They had already recovered in their own way. Only that night they stayed by Bonebreaker's side to keep watch until the other party woke up.

Allen has not had much contact with Ye, a kobold, in the past ten years, only a few meetings. However, looking at his calm temperament and capable style along the way, he can still feel his talent even though he does not speak much. Not bad, at least Alan felt that he was no weaker than the flower snake in his village. The young man who was young and full of energy ten years ago has now become a capable hero. It seems that not only his own tribe is growing, but the Bone Broken Tribe is also developing.

"Ye, since you can become invisible, let's take a closer look at what's going on inside and warn everyone in advance if there is any danger."

As expected, there was a dark passage behind the statue, a square passage with a length of 3-4 meters and a width of - meters, with a long stone staircase extending downward until it was submerged in darkness. When they arrived near the entrance of the passage, Bonebreaker suddenly changed his previous behavior and directly ordered Ye, an assassin with stealth ability, to walk in front. This made Allen a little surprised, but he was quickly relieved.

When he and Saru explored the maze, Saru took the lead and Allen followed later, so that both of them could react in time when danger was discovered.

Not long after the night went on, the figure disappeared into the darkness. Just when Thorin, the shield warrior, was about to continue drilling down, the Bonebreaker suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He frowned and shouted: "Wait!"

"what happened?"

Human Joey rarely spoke and asked in a hoarse voice.

"No one is guarding us outside. After all, it's still unsafe. I've prepared a few magic traps around us. If someone really takes advantage of us to go in and explore and cause trouble behind our back, that wouldn't be appropriate."

After all, the Bonebreaker is still a mature man. Not only did the three adventurers agree with what he said, but even Allen couldn't help but nod, thinking it was reasonable.

It seemed that the Bone Crusher was well prepared for this expedition. He took out some small objects from his arms and divided them by three and five to form an alchemy item unknown to Allen, which was then buried around the passage. Then, the magic spell sounded from the Bone Crusher's mouth, and several spells were cast one by one at the location where the trap was previously buried.

By the time the last magic was cast, it took a long time. It took 3-4 minutes just to recite the incantation and wave the staff to build the spell model. During this period, Allen was even a little impatient, but seeing the Bonebreaker with his eyes closed and looking attentive, Allen endured it.

Although Allen can no longer be regarded as a magic idiot, at this time, none of the spells and staff waving patterns that the Bonebreaker crackled out were recognized by Allen, and he was embarrassed to interrupt them.

It's very cumbersome to watch the Bone Crusher cast a spell, but after the spell is cast, the effect is surprisingly simple. It's just that a spark suddenly pops up from the top of the staff in the Bone Crusher's hand, and then slowly and leisurely rises towards the sky, until Disappeared into the cloudless, blue sky.

"Okay, let's go in. Ye Xiaozi has gone in for so long and there has been no news. I'm afraid he might be in danger inside."

After casting the spell, Bone Crusher suddenly became a little anxious, as if he was really worried about Ye's safety as he said.

"Your magic..."

Allen was more thoughtful and asked pretending to be curious.

"Oh, this spell is a series of traps made by combining the spells and alchemy props I cast before. As long as someone touches the trap buried in the stone bricks, the spark in the sky will turn into a fireball with power exceeding level 5. Smash directly at the outsider who triggered the trap."

Bonecrusher didn't hide anything, and explained his arrangement as such.

Allen's suspicions were a little relieved. Looking at the faces of the three adventurers on the side, there seemed to be nothing unusual, so he stopped asking any more questions. Under the urging of the Bone Crusher, they headed towards the dark and deep passage. Go in.
