Volume 97 Exploration of the Ruins: Chapter 96 Chapter [-] The First Night of the Ruins

bang bang-

Two gun flames flew out from the front and back, and then gradually dissipated in the air.

"Phew—fortunately, nothing happened..."

Glancing at the empty passage, Neil couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter what happens, when suddenly teleported to a strange place, it is always right to blast around yourself.

Even if nothing hits, it just consumes a little mana, but once it hits, it will save a life.

but.......

Seeing that he was the only one in the entire corridor, Neil couldn't help but frowned.

The teleportation array not only teleported them away, but also teleported each of them to a different place......

At that moment just now, everyone should not have made any action that can be called a trigger, but why, the trap is still activated?

Could it be that the trigger condition of the magic circle is not "touching something", but "the action of leaving"?

In any case, since they have already separated, it doesn't make much sense to think desperately about why it was triggered.

Neil took out a new piece of paper, drew a simple picture of his current location on it, and then drew marks on the wall.

Although my main goal now is to follow the map to find the hidden things in the ruins, but at present I still have to find a way to go back to the big hole.

Now that I discovered a water source by mistake, I shouldn't just act blindly just to find the deepest point, otherwise if I run out of ammunition and food, if I encounter any danger, I won't have enough ability to go to it. resistance.

He picked a direction at random and walked forward.

Anyway, it's a completely unfamiliar place, so it doesn't matter where you go.

However, in the ruins, things that should be paid attention to should be paid attention to.

I don't know if it was teleported to a relatively lower position, but the walls around Neil are full of various stones and sand that have fallen due to aging, and they are scattered scattered on the ground.

And on it, there were some traces of swords that seemed to have been cut out because of the fight. Neil even found an arrow stuck in the crack of the wall.

He just lightly touched it with his finger, and the arrow body, which had been through for countless years, snapped off.

Is it a dispute between the adventurers who came to explore before, or is it further, a battle with monsters in the old age?

Neil looked at the blades and armor scattered on the ground, shook his head, and walked around them.

In places like ruins, monsters such as living armor and cursed swords are most likely to appear, so as long as they are armor or weapons that look relatively new, they should be vigilant.

Even if it looks tattered and worthless, you can't relax, otherwise you will be in bad luck.

But fortunately, Neil has already expected these things, and he himself has no interest in these equipment treasures, so as long as he doesn't approach them deliberately, there is no problem at all.

So while walking, he slowly drew the map in his hand, keeping everything he encountered along the way intact.

After all, he doesn't know if he can go back to the big hole today. If he can't go back, then he can only find a place to sleep on the spot, so he must put a safer location that can be used as a temporary residence on the map. Mark all of them here to ensure that you can follow the trail back.

"However, the feeling of not having the sun all the time is really quite uncomfortable..."

Neil took out his pocket watch from his bag and glanced at the time.

"Is there still 2 hours before nightfall..."

The pocket watch was specially asked by Sid before he set off, in order to maintain a normal biological clock in the ruins where the time could not be judged at all, and to avoid problems such as listlessness.

During these two hours, he had to find a reasonably safe place to live, otherwise he would only get twice the result with half the effort when he explored the next day without sufficient rest.

This is only the first day of entering the ruins, he doesn't intend to use up all his strength directly, and then he can only be exhausted in the next few days.

So while avoiding the armor and weapons lying on the ground, Neil looked for a place that was more suitable as a temporary residence, and shuttled through the repeated passages that almost made the eyes tired.

If it weren't for the different incomplete traces on the surrounding walls, and the paper that he drew one after another in his hand, Neil might really feel that he was constantly going around in circles.

"Tsk, is this another dead end..."

Neil looked at the wall in front of him, and crossed out the paper with some irritability.

He sighed, looked at the passage that had turned into a dead end, turned around and walked towards another fork, and walked into another corridor that he had marked not long ago.

"It seems that I can only sleep here tonight..."

Although it is very dangerous to sleep in a corridor with no cover at all, but having a way to escape is much better than sleeping in a dead end.

He has almost explored the corridors on both sides. If he really encounters monsters, no matter which way he goes, there will be enough distance and side roads to get rid of them.

only.......

Neil bent down to pick up a small stone, and threw it towards the elegant and simple pot not far away, which was as tall as a person.

The stone drew an arc in mid-air, and just dropped into the mouth of the nozzle, making a crisp crashing sound.

Seeing that there was no response, Neil couldn't help but frowned, picked up a stone and threw it in again.

The third, the fourth....

After he threw six stones in, a little girl with blue hair and wheat-colored skin came out, looked at Neil tearfully, and immediately ran away without a trace.

"Sorry, the place you are staying in is really dangerous, I'd better trouble you to change your place of residence."

Neil shrugged, then moved the porcelain pot that was no longer home to the Pot Demon little by little, and moved it to a safer location.

Although the Pot Demon would be harmless as long as he didn't peek into it, but the pot just happened to get stuck on a raised part of a rock, and it might fall down at any time.

If I accidentally "peeked" while the pot was coming across, I'm afraid I would be sucked into it, and then under the effect of charm magic, I would take the initiative to invade the pot demon hidden inside.

After reconfirming that there were no armor or weapons around, Neil also used a few flat stones to build a simple chair and sat down.

Eat a little dry food and drink a few sips of water, this is today's dinner.

"I don't know what happened to other people, I hope I won't send it directly..."

Neil pressed his luggage on his back as a pillow, murmured softly, then closed his eyes, and began to spend his first night in the ruins.

Volume 98 Exploration of Ruins: Chapter 97 Chapter [-] The Miracle of Recovery

While it's hard to get a good night's sleep in a perilous dungeon, rest is a must.

So even though Neil would wake up from time to time to take a look at his surroundings, he still forced himself to close his eyes and rest his mind until the usual time of waking up before standing up and starting today's exploration.

Neil took out the draft in his hand and continued to draw while walking.

Because of the existence of all kinds of intricate roads and dead ends, he must first use one of the papers to make a draft, and then slowly simplify it to another paper, otherwise the messy lines will easily make the route appear. Misunderstanding.

As he continued to move forward, a subtle sound of running water also reached his ears, making him frown.

This is........

Neil walked forward, and after the sound of running water became louder, he also came to a wide and dim square.

Underground waterway...

Looking at the flowing water surrounding the most central high platform, Neil didn't walk directly towards the platform, but walked around the wall first.

The environment inside the square is obviously much better than those passages. Whether it is the chains connected together by the water or the hard floor tiles under the feet, except for some old traces, they are still relatively intact.

Neil came to the water's edge, picked up a part of the clear water with his hand, brought it to his mouth and smelled it, and after finding that there was no strange sweet smell, he stuck out his tongue and licked it lightly, showing a surprised expression.

He found another place where he could get fresh water.

So he opened the kettle in his hand and drank it all in one gulp, then squatted beside the water, letting the clear water slowly refill the kettle.

Is there an underground river connected to this underground city?

As Neil put the kettle back into the package, he thought silently in his heart.

That being the case, perhaps this river could also lead to the pool of the Great Hollow.

It's just a pity that when he looked at the fence at the end of the river and the space above the waterway that even a human head couldn't fit in, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​swimming along the waterway to explore.

Neil took another look at the location on the other side of the river. There was a corridor symmetrical to his side. Except for the absence of the stone platform on his side, even the location of the magic lamp was exactly the same.

He summoned a magic bullet and threw it there. After finding that there was no problem, he turned on the blast mode, kicked hard on the ground, crossed the river in the middle, and jumped to the other end.

"Without the air wall, it would be much more convenient to explore."

Neil glanced at the dark passages on both sides of the small square here, and said to himself.

After finding that there was basically nothing unusual here, he jumped back and slowly walked up to the stone platform.

This time, in order to avoid triggering the trap like before, he almost stretched his neck and moved his steps little by little. Once he saw the edge of the magic circle, he immediately ran back.

However, when he gradually saw the stone sculptures placed on the platform, he couldn't help frowning, and his steps to move up the steps became faster, and he directly stepped over the remaining few floors, came to the platform,

On the entire platform, there is only one half-person-high sculpture standing quietly on the stone platform that seems to be made of a whole rock.

——Saint Kache, in the name of the Lord God, heal everyone.

Looking at the words carved on the somewhat worn surface of the stone platform, Neil frowned deeply.

Santa Claus, what is it?Do you believe in one of the main god religions?

But he believes in the religion of the Lord God, and he only knows one sect.

Rather, once it comes to the name of the main god, I am afraid that only religious groups can bear this religious name.

Believe in the main god and go to the church directly, and in addition to the whole small group and small religion, it can be said that there is no need for anything at all.

Not to mention, a stone platform was built in a ruin, and it was even marked on a map of an ancient weapon.

Could it be that a prosperous religion existed in previous civilizations and then disappeared into history?

Neil took out the map and compared it with the cross wrapped in thorn patterns in front of him, and found that the pattern marked on the map seemed to coincide with this place.

In other words, find five of these stone carvings before you can open a door leading to the deepest place...

Looking at the five marks on the map, he couldn't help sighing, and began to follow the instructions on the map, looking for the mechanism on the stone carving.

"I hate this kind of deciphering plot that circles around..."

While muttering, Neil groped for a long time, and found something like a slot in the narrow cavity behind the stone sculpture.

After thinking for a while, he took out the short alloy stick in the bag and inserted it in.

With the fit of the front end and the groove, the short stick seemed to become a pull rod, and as Neil pulled it down, it drove the mechanism inside to move.

click————

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the stone carving that opened the mechanism released a warm white light, illuminating the entire square brightly.

The glaring light caused Neil, who had been in a dim environment all the time, to squint his eyes, and took a few steps back, looking at the holy magic power emanating from around the stone sculpture.

Under the radiance of that light, Neil suddenly found that his physical condition began to slowly recover, and some fatigue caused by poor sleep quality also slowly subsided.

"Is this.......sacred magic?"

Feeling the sense of fullness and strength from his fully revived body as if he had slept soundly, Neil murmured in surprise as he looked at the sign of the cross that was gradually dimming.

If he guessed correctly, what happened just now should be a miracle of recovery in holy magic.

He had seen Kyle activate it once when he was communicating with a certain bishop, but the effect released by the stone sculpture was far more powerful than that time. I am afraid that even if the braves activated it, it would be nothing more than that. Alright.

This relic really has a lot of background.

Neil put away the map in his hand with some excitement, and took out the draft for marking.

If each of these five places buried a miracle of recovery, it could be said to exist like a save point.

Although the open environment here is quite unsuitable for living, but because there is a waterway that can get supplies, Neil still put a big cross on it to highlight the location of this square.

"So... where should we go next?"

Neil looked at the four passages on this side and the other side, rubbing his chin.

He unexpectedly returned to his full state, which made him decide to extend today's exploration progress while the effect had not completely disappeared.

With the supply of water, his desire to return to the Big Hollow is not so strong.So he decided to change back to the original goal again, mainly to find the remaining four organs.
