Thinking of the "Forest Book" that he had played in the game for several nights in his previous life, and that the traveler would have to complete it again in the real world in the future, Ye Xuan suddenly felt gloating.

The eye of God on Fa Lushan's waist lit up with cyan light, and she summoned the ruins exploration terminal she made.

Colina pulled up the bow and arrow, and the grass elements gathered on the arrow, shooting towards the only intact elemental obelisk.

"Wow."

Along with the strange sound, the originally dim grass element obelisk emitted an emerald green light.

The vines at the entrance of the cave gradually spread out as if alive, revealing the scene inside.

Fa Lushan waved her hand, and the exploration terminal code-named [Pilan] made a strange sound. The fuselage lit up with a light blue light, slowly rose into the air, and flew to the front of the team.

"[Pilan] is the ruins exploration terminal I created. It has the functions of exorcising monsters, guarding and patrolling, etc. Let it take the lead and we can follow."

Ye Xuan and Ke Lai nodded and were about to push aside the weeds coming out of the hole and enter it.

Suddenly, a rough man's voice came from the distance, causing the three of them to stop.

"You three, please stay."

Chapter 21

"Three, please stay."

Ye Xuan and the others stopped when they heard the sound and looked in the direction of the sound.

Three people dressed as mercenaries appeared next to the cave.

The person who stopped the three people was the strongest man in front, who was in his 30s. He had a long knife on his back, scars crisscrossed his face, and he exuded a fierce aura.

The two young men of medium build following the man were of ordinary appearance and should be followers.

"Who are you?" Fa Lushan stepped forward and asked.

"Haha, don't be nervous. The three adults are scholars who want to enter this ruins to investigate."

"I am Hart, and these two are Tut and Tucson, who belong to the Gilded Brigade."

Hart's eyes stayed for a moment on the God's Eyes on the waists of Fa Lushan and Kelai, and then looked at the ordinary-looking Ye Xuan standing aside, his eyes flickering slightly, revealing a strange light.

"Oh, you are the mercenaries of the Gilded Brigade, what are you doing with us scholars?"

Fa Lushan did not let down her guard, hugged her shoulders and said with an indifferent expression.

"Haha, since the three adults have come to this ruins, they must have done a lot of research on ancient ruins."

"I have a gracious request. I hope that I can follow the three of you into the ruins. To be honest, I have received news that there are treasures hidden in the mechanism here. That is why I am here today."

"As long as the three of you can help crack the mechanism, then the treasure will be divided equally. How about that?"

"Humph." Fa Lushan sneered, looking at the man in front of her like a clown.

"It's a fantasy. Why can't we unlock the trap ourselves, take away the treasure, and share it equally with you?"

Hart had already expected Fa Lushan's answer, and said calmly: "That makes sense, but you have to know that in order to prevent the treasure from being stolen, we deliberately set up countless traps around the ruins. Some of them may have to protect themselves. The method may not hurt, but the ancient documents recorded in the ruins cannot be saved."

"As far as I know, these are the things that scholars like adults care about most."

Fa Lushan frowned slightly after hearing this and looked at Hart with cold eyes.

"The mercenaries are really courageous. Deliberately destroying ruins is an act prohibited by the Order. Aren't you afraid that the mercenary group will be destroyed by the disciplinary officer?"

Hart shrugged, indifferent.

"People die for money and birds die for food. I have no choice but to do it, sir."

Fa Lushan snorted coldly, turned around and looked at Ye Xuanke Lai, then her expression returned to indifference, and she said to the three Harts: "You can follow us, but as long as I notice any small movements..."

The God's Eye on the waist suddenly glowed brightly, and the mercenaries felt that a strong wind was pressing on them and they could not breathe.

"Just be careful with your bones!"

"Yes, yes, of course not."

Hart, a tall man, squinted his eyes, lowered his head and said with a smile.

...Hatter and his two younger brothers followed Ye Xuan and others as they walked deeper into the cave.

One of the younger brothers, Tu Sen, waited to distance himself from Ye Xuan and others, and secretly said to Hart: "Boss, I think those two girls are young and have tender skin and tender flesh. Even if they have the eyes of God, , the strength is probably not much higher."

"Why don't we carry out a sneak attack, capture those two chicks, and directly force them to unlock the trap for us."

Hearing this, Hart sneered and said gloomily: "Huh, what do you know? Those scholars are all stupid, and breaking up early will only be counterproductive, and..."

Hart paused and motioned to his younger brother to look at Fa Lushan in front of him.

"That woman's aura from the Eye of God just now was not low. She seems to be the leader among them. Although she looks young, she might be a senior member of the Order Academy."

"The green-haired little girl, although she has the eye of the gods, looks like she is just a trainee ranger based on her clothing. Her strength should be average but should not be underestimated. As for the remaining black-haired boy..."

Hart sneered and said disdainfully: "The whole body is loose and tender, and there is not a single broken skin on it. At first glance, it looks like a soft-footed shrimp in the city. How can we not slaughter such a fat sheep?"

"Boss is wise." Tucson on the side stepped forward to flatter the boss, looked at Ye Xuan jealously, and said angrily: "I guess he is a young master from some house in the city. He specially chooses two beauties with divine eyes when traveling. Accompany him, he will fall into my hands later, hey! He will reap the rewards."

"Hehe, I agree, I'll pick him out soon."

...The road leading to the ruins was far longer than expected, so a few people had to find a temporary place to make a fire to cook and replenish their physical strength.

Beside the campfire, Ye Xuan was enjoying the food brought by Ke Lai.

Tucson, the younger mercenary, suddenly came over and sat next to him.

"The young master has really good taste. He is always taken care of by people when he goes out into the wild. He also brings two beauties, one big and one small, with him. Hehe, this face and figure are one of a kind."

"Haha, young master, would you mind telling me the names of these two beauties?"

Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with a strange light when he heard this, he looked at Tucson and sighed slightly: "Of course, I was born with a good life. I have had no worries about food and clothing since I was a child. When I grow up, I am surrounded by beautiful women. I can eat it in one meal." The income of an ordinary mercenary in a few months, hey, that’s it, I can’t spend all my money on Morado, don’t you think it’s irritating?”

"As for their names, a bug like you is not qualified to know them, understand?"

"I……"

His mentality exploded due to Ye Xuan's arrogant speech. Tu Sen wanted to ridicule Ye Xuan but was blocked in his mouth. He smiled awkwardly and lowered his head slightly to hide the jealousy and resentment in his eyes.

Just wait, when the boss succeeds in getting the treasure, I will cramp and skin you little brat.

And those two beauties with the eyes of God...hey.

The thoughts in Tucson's mind kept turning, and a greedy smile appeared on his sinister face.

But he didn't notice that Ye Xuan, who was looking at him across from him, also had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with cold and violent murderous intent.

..."This is the ruins we want to inspect."

Fa Lushan stopped and said to the people behind her.

Under the light of the exploration terminal, Ye Xuan clearly saw the entire ruins.

The surrounding walls have become dilapidated due to the erosion of time, and are covered with thick vines.

There are several huge stone slabs standing in the wall, filled with dazzling ancient writings.

Countless broken fragments of the elemental obelisk were mixed in, as if they had been violently destroyed by some terrifying existence.

In the center of the ruins is a sphere that emits soft light, similar to the mechanical core of a 'giant one-eyed treasure'. From it, you can see the golden light flowing continuously, which is beautiful and fascinating.

If you look carefully, you will see that there are indeed dense mechanisms arranged around the sphere. Beside the mechanisms are countless steel cannon holes, exuding a cold atmosphere that makes people shudder.

All these indicate the danger here. No strangers are allowed to enter.

Chapter 22 Crack the organ

"Hey, the location of the treasure record is in this light ball. This scholar, look..."

Hart walked quickly behind Fa Lushan and begged.

Fa Lushan ignored Hart and stared at the huge ball of light in front of her. She glanced around and paused for a moment when she saw a huge wall with strange symbols written on it.

Suddenly he said to Hart: "It seems that the surrounding area is full of gunpowder. It seems that you did not plan this treasure overnight."

Hearing this, Hart nodded slightly and said with an apologetic smile to Fa Lushan: "Haha, Sir Scholar, please forgive me, we bumpkins are uneducated. There are many dangers in this ruins. In order to survive, we have to take this step."

"I swear to God, I will not let your hard work go in vain. I will share half of the treasure with you immediately after I find it, and I will personally escort you back to Xumi City."

Fa Lushan looked at Tucson quietly. The tall and fierce man she was looking at felt like her heart was spinning, and she suddenly smiled.

"Okay, it's settled, we'll split it in half after we find the treasure~"

After that, he ignored the ecstatic Tucson and turned around and walked towards his team.

"Teacher, what treasure do you really want?"

Ye Xuan looked at Fa Lushan, who suddenly became active, speechlessly.

"What kind of treasure? It's just for fooling that fool." Fa Lushan rolled her eyes, and then said: "I'm just interested in that light ball. Look at the tallest stone tablet. The words used on it are exactly Ancient Canrean language, no surprise, this ball of light is the energy core of a war machine in Canrean."

"Energy core? Is it the same as the one-eyed treasures wandering around in the wild?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.

"What little one-eyed treasure? We have always collectively called them ruin guards." Fa Lushan was a little speechless and explained to Ye Xuan: "It is different from the chaotic furnace heart in the body of ordinary ruin guards. Looking at the size of this light ball, it should be a honk. Rhea's giant war machines provide the energy."

"The remains of a giant war machine are located in the Demon-Conquering Mountains. Its upper body alone is about as big as a mountain range."

Fa Lushan sighed, her words full of yearning and admiration: "It's hard to imagine that as early as hundreds of years ago, the Kanrian people could create such exquisite machinery on their own. The wisdom of the ancients is really endless, and so A country that made progress ended up being destroyed."

Ye Xuan was silent on the side.

"Okay." Fa Lushan pulled back her thoughts and said to Ye Xuan: "Your task is to translate the documents on these stone tablets and record them. This is also an assessment task given by the Teaching Council."

"As for me, I am responsible for unlocking the surrounding mechanisms."

"I'm here to record it? That's not right, Teacher Fa Lushan, you didn't tell me before you came here that you were going to do this."

Ye Xuan was not happy when he heard it. After finally arriving at the ruins, he didn't want to sit around copying books.

Such a lazy look naturally made Fa Lushan furious again.

"Hmph, don't be lazy. Kelai and I did everything along the way. Besides, with your writing skills, translating the documents on these stone tablets is a piece of cake."

Looking at Ye Xuan, who still had a beaten face, Fa Lushan rubbed her forehead with a headache, and promised: "Okay, when I unlock the mechanism and the findings inside are returned to the Order Academy, I will apply for a project, the director Someone will write your name. What, this kind of merit is enough for you to freely apply for leave in the Order House without any control."

"Oh?" Ye Xuan's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Then you don't want Teacher Fa Lushan?"

"Hmph!" Fa Lushan raised her head proudly: "Senior, I have hosted countless projects, so I can't stand looking down on this little mosquito leg."
