Him and their stars

Ash was dragged out of the cave by the eldest lady with a confused look on his face.

Isn’t it too late to watch the sunrise at this time? Before Ash could feel the touch of the eldest lady's jade hands, the other party had already pulled him out of the cave and pointed to the wilderness in the distance.

"Look, the scarlet mist!"

At this time, the sun was slowly emerging from behind the distant foothills. The early morning sunlight penetrated the water vapor of the barren land. There was no warmth or holiness, but only a hot and depressing feeling. Perhaps it was because after a night of fierce fighting, the blood of the soldiers who died on both sides of the foothills had flowed into the air. The sunlight penetrated the fog in the wilderness, and its shape was so distorted that it was impossible to look directly at it, but its color was so depressing that it made people palpitate, as if it were fog condensed with blood.

Ash was shocked. Does the so-called "bloody mist" refer not to the natural landscape of Kililuo Mountain, but to this?

So, the rest...

Miss Taina dragged Ash away a few more steps and pointed to the other side of the mountain.

On the north side of the mountain, the reinforcements of the Sand People and Marauders had obviously come into contact with the Earth's defenders. All they heard was the sound of gunfire, and occasional explosions, like rolling thunder. Then, with every muffled thunder, the other side of the canyon always flashes its white light.

Ash knew that it should be the effect of a high-power energy beam blooming. Within the atmosphere, due to the different composition of the air, when the energy beam spreads, it will always cause different sound and light effects. If it were in the universe, there would be no such problem.

Then, he pointed the reporter to a place in the sky, where the blooming light of energy had been painted with a light purple: "Look! The purple curtain sky! There is also a crazy symphony."

Can it still be explained this way? Is it too far-fetched?

Ash's eyes widened and he was about to complain, but the reporter lady rushed back into the cave and drove the off-road vehicle out half a minute later.

"Get in the car!" the reporter lady shouted.

"I think……"

"Get in the car! Or I'll go by myself!"

Well, after all, she was his employer, and she was also the eldest lady of the Moen family. If she really left him alone and acted on her own, no matter what went wrong, she would probably die in the alliance. Then it is equivalent to dying in the Universal Society. It is estimated that the only way to survive is to join the predators or run to the Abyss Nebula.

Ash sighed silently and got into the car. Before he could sit firmly, the reporter lady had already stepped on the accelerator.

The Ranger was almost thrown down, and he quickly grabbed the body of the car, but was so shaken that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Don't, don't let me find a chance! Otherwise, I'll let you little bitch scratch your back!" He cursed a few words, and just when he sat down, he saw several tall riding figures vaguely appearing in front of him.

"The Sand People's Ride? We need to take a detour..."

Miss Moen had already stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

Ash felt that he didn't even have the strength to sigh at this time, so he could only pick up the rifle from under the seat.

There were five Sand People riders on the opposite side, all of whom were riding Plateau Boomerosaurus, which was more than a circle larger than Maoke Speeder, and was not much smaller than a rhinoceros. The Ranger is not sure whether both sides will be injured if his off-road vehicle hits him. Even if he is the winner, what's the point if the vehicle breaks down?

He held his breath, and made a half-kneeling shooting position on the co-pilot of the high-speed open-top off-road vehicle. The rails were steady, and the hands holding the gun were too steady, and then he lightly pulled the trigger.

In just a few seconds, he fired ten bullets in a row, without any miss. All the sand people riders fell off their horses on the spot without even reacting. The mounts under their crotches were also hit by bullets. They were in great pain and ran away based on instinct.

During the subsequent journey, the two encountered several waves of enemies, and even a few troll soldiers who were left alone for unknown reasons, but they were all resolved without any danger.

An hour later, the two returned to a little-known hidden canyon in the mountain and found the secret cave entrance where the ruins of the Enlightened One were located, nearly twice as fast as when they went there.

When Ash got out of the car, he felt that his legs were numb. As a psychic, this is of course not a physical reason, it can only be explained by psychological factors.

But the reporter lady, who was obviously not as strong as her, jumped out of the car happily, with a face as full of life as if twenty kilograms of leaves had just flown away.

"Hurry up and catch up! Ash, I think I've found the blind spot!"

What can he do now even if he is desperate? Of course, I had no choice but to follow her, and very clumsily ran in front of Miss Moen, pretending to be clearing the way, and even turned on a light.

However, when the two of them were halfway through, Ash suddenly discovered that the cave that should have been pitch black was actually covered in a dim green light.

"Look, isn't this Jade's stage?" Taina Mohn shouted excitedly.

"Is there any radioactive material?" Ya Xiu felt like his hair was counting down his hair. Although he is a psyker, he finally broke through the third level recently after narrowly escaping death. Miss Taina only has two levels, but she is not sure whether her current physical fitness can handle it.

The reporter lady said angrily: "There is copper!"

"I've never heard that copper can shine on its own. And I've only heard that patina is green."

"How about calling it the ruins of the Enlightened One?" the reporter asked.

Ash looked at the cave with green light in front of him, and was extremely confused. To be fair, this layer of hazy green light shining in the cave actually has a mysterious and quiet sense of elegance. Moreover, league culture has little prejudice against this vibrant color. But for some reason, when he looked at the green light in front of him, he could always think of the will-o'-the-wisps dancing in the tomb.

However, the ranger could no longer hesitate. At this time, his employer had already walked towards the deepest part.

They soon reached the deepest part of the cave. The black stone slab, which seemed to be emitting starlight, had now turned into silver gray. On the already very smooth mirror surface, a large area of ​​complicated ancient characters has floated on it to form a pattern.

Those characters should be very obvious ideograms, with many gestures. At first glance, they look like the floor plan of a maze. When the human eye sees such overly complex and dense graphics, it stands to reason that it should feel dizzy, but for some reason, when those characters come into view, it feels like one's soul is floating into small worlds. For a moment, my spirit suddenly felt like it was about to soar, as if my life level had been raised to a higher level.

It is a kind of ordinary world where it is difficult to experience the imaginable sense of satisfaction and happiness.

"This, this, this..."

"Luwen! One of the greatest chapters in the writings of ancient enlightened beings." Miss reporter murmured: "I said before that maybe the time has not come yet. But now the time has indeed come."

Ya Xiu composed himself and whispered: "Timing, what do you mean? War?"

"Perhaps... blood and death?" Taina Mohn sighed: "What is buried here! This reminds me of those big devils in myths and legends."

Ash shrugged unsurprisingly: "It's not surprising. Half of the Enlightenment ruins I've heard of are more evil than this one."

However, I have never heard of such a large scale. He added in his mind.

"Can you untie it?"

"Well, with so many Luwen, I can only read 10% at most. If she were here, she should be able to understand it. Wait, it seems okay..." Miss Moen pressed her hand on the surface. Turning his back to Ash, he suddenly murmured a sigh: "Indeed, it can be like this! Yes, you have to use this method. Yes, reading Luwen cannot rely on cognition, but must rely on perception! Yes, perception!"

Ash couldn't help but feel nervous. The reporter lady finally sighed, the tone seemed a bit deep and sinister, and at first glance it sounded like the neighing of a snake. He was about to ask something, but the other party turned around and gave Ash a bright smile: "I really want to feel something, I can give it a try! You stay here, don't move around."

Was it an illusion just now? Ash looked at the reporter's smile in confusion, becoming even more confused.

"What does this expression mean? How rude!" Miss Moen said angrily: "You still have to guard your retreat. If I really find something, I will never lose your share."

The reporter girl thought for a moment, stretched out her finger and made a shooting motion towards the ranger: "But, if you escape. Haha, anyway, before setting off, I will give you your name, address, social relations of the eight generations of your ancestors, and all your My tax evasion records are all placed in a bank safe. If anything happens to me, they will naturally send those documents to the Supernatural Management Bureau."

ah! Such a familiar tone! It really must be an illusion, right?

So, Ash had no choice but to do as the other party said, holding the gun in one hand and holding the sword in the other, focusing most of his attention on the direction the two came from. Of course, I still kept one eye open to keep an eye on the goings-on here.

At this time, overall it can be considered a calm situation.

Apart from the dim green light that made him very uncomfortable, there was only the equipment left behind by the mysterious Mr. Summers.

There were five machines in total. They were basically standard rectangular structures, about the size of a car wine cabinet. They were constantly flashing electronic lights and running at an almost inaudible bass.

Ash felt that compared to the bright green light that filled the hole, the flickering blue electronic light of these machines was more pleasing to the eye.

"We need to move faster. The equipment Mr. Summers left here is still running. Maybe he has noticed the situation here and is on his way here. Of course, this is the territory of the Earthlings after all. If you If I really want to share this discovery with them, I won’t object.”

"I'm doing it!" Miss Moen said loudly without looking back.

Well, she was not at all prepared to share the legacy of the Enlightened Ones with the people of Earth.

This is such a typical behavior of the children of the Seventeenth Family. That was indeed an illusion just now. Ash rolled his eyes and chuckled in his mind.

At this time, Taina Mohn had already pressed her hand on the ancient characters on the wall. The characters that were as complex as maze pictures seemed to become brighter and suddenly became more alive.

It's a bit like the touch screen of a handheld terminal. Ash shrugged.

Then, as the reporter's hand moved, the characters also moved on the wall.

Well, it is indeed a touch screen. Did it actually turn out to be a Scrabble puzzle? Ash thought.

However, even if it is a Scrabble game, this is probably the most difficult Scrabble game in the galaxy. After all, so far, the empires and alliances that have done the most archaeological work on the Enlightened Ones are said to have only unlocked less than 30% of the ancient texts - and this data is still very watery, because as time goes by As new relics appear, more texts from enlightened beings will always appear.

What is even more troublesome is that the archaeological community in the Galaxy even recognizes that the writing found so far is not a language at all. Just what is certain is double digits. Luwen is one of them.

In fact, if the Empire and the Alliance are willing to cooperate sincerely, there may be revolutionary progress in this area of ​​work.

However, the science and technology tree is distorted at this point. In a world where scientific and technological progress depends on archeology, it is better to count on the rabbit and the ugly countries to jointly develop controllable nuclear fusion sincerely and unitedly than to expect the two countries to jointly conduct archaeology.

Ash just watched the reporter lady playing complicated Scrabble puzzles in his wild thoughts. Those ancient characters, which are like mysterious scrolls, are constantly beating flexibly on the mirror surface, forming a smart scroll.

The ranger suddenly felt that the pictures dancing on those complicated characters were more magnificent than any picture he had ever seen, and more profound than any book he had ever read, as if they contained the secrets of the universe.

Relying on the extraordinary willpower, he finally calmed down from his trance, and then he was surprised to find that his star ring had actually expanded by a full circle.

Evil, evil! The ranger felt no joy at all.

His adoptive father had told him that the gifts of fate were secretly priced. If you get a bargain today, you must pay it back tomorrow.

Look at what's going on now. When Miss Taina Morn came to find him, he thought he had embraced a golden thigh and could happily eat soft food from now on. But what's the result? He unexpectedly returned to this small broken planet in the New World to explore some treasure in the center of the battlefield.

Huh, if this story always unfolds, it would be strange that this ruin can be easily opened. Even if it is really opened, there must be something terrible hidden inside.

Thinking of this, Ash put his hand on the hilt of the lightsaber again.

At this time, Miss Moen raised her hands above her head and cheered: "Okay! We succeeded!"

What did you succeed at? Just as Ash was about to ask, he saw a flash of white light, and Lu Wen on the mirror disappeared. Immediately afterwards, there was a soft rubbing sound, and the smooth, mirror-like stone slab rose up.

There must be a boss! Ash thought to himself, and stopped in front of the reporter lady with a sliding step, pulling her back a few steps.

"Be careful! You don't know what's inside."

Miss Tanner took a cautious step back. After all, she is not really a Tou Tie Wa, so she naturally knows that the end of this kind of ruins exploration story will always unfold in a very bad way.

"I was stupid, I should have caught a small animal outside to explore the way." Ashus patted his head.

"...You can find a robot or something. Mr. Summers seems to have one in his car." The reporter lady was naturally a smart girl, and she immediately thought of a solution.

"Can you use it?"

"Axiu, I want you to know that according to the ancestral teachings, all the children of our seventeen families who want to inherit the family business must have a degree in science and engineering and an engineer's license."

The ranger was dumbfounded, and for a moment it was difficult to tell whether the other party was joking or serious.

In any case, we have to go back to the ground first. However, they had just turned their heads when they heard the roar of an engine coming from the passage leading to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the Iron Machinery off-road vehicle parked at the door crawled in through the door.
