Gray was convinced by Cirona, but it didn't mean that he would be convinced by Mina, a young girl who was younger than him and unknown, even if she was Cirona's disciple.
"I don't believe it. How could I lose to you?"
Therefore, when Mina provoked him, he immediately changed back to his previous appearance and spoke with a face full of dissatisfaction.
"Alright, you're not convinced, right? Then let's have a match."
Mina was delighted to hear Gray say this, and immediately continued to provoke him.
She felt terrible that she hadn't completed the task that Cirona had given her perfectly.
Now that Gray had taken the initiative to come forward, it was a good opportunity for her to vent her anger and show off the results of his recent efforts in front of Cirona, killing two birds with one stone.
How could Gray resist Mina's provocation? He immediately agreed. He actually had the same idea as Mina; he wanted to show off his strength in front of Cirona so that Cirona would agree to his request.
"Alright, Mina, stop messing around. I'm sorry, Gray, but I can't agree to your request. Just as Mina said, the exploration of ruins is very dangerous, and a little carelessness could cost you your life. I can't let you join as you please."
Seeing that Mina and Gray were really about to fight, how could Cirona, who was in a hurry, let the two of them continue like this? She immediately stopped their actions and spoke with a cold expression.
Since Cirona had spoken, Mina and Gray naturally couldn't fight. The two of them immediately shut their mouths resentfully and became obedient again.
"However, it's not a problem for you to come and observe the ruins. Now that the ruins have been mostly explored, there shouldn't be too much danger as long as you don't go to the dangerous areas."
Cirona wasn't an unreasonable person. After discovering that Gray was indeed interested in going to the ruins, and seeing that he was her fan, she also extended an invitation to him.
When Gray heard this, he immediately nodded obediently, and then released a tropical dragon to follow Kaede Sato, Cirona, and Mina to the nearby ruins.
After a while, under Cirona's guidance, Kaede Sato and the others quickly arrived above the ruins, and then landed in the camp near the ruins.
Unlike the simple camp that Kaede Sato had seen in the desert before, because the ruins on Road 120 were very close to a big city, the whole camp was like a small village. It was neatly arranged, and all kinds of living facilities had basically been built.
Moreover, the grave robbers weren't as rampant as before in the desert. Looking down, Kaede Sato only saw a few scattered grave robbers along the way, distributed in the dense forest near the ruins.
From the current situation, the excavation of the ruins had come to an end. Most of the ruins had been buried underground, and most of the remains had been buried under the ruins. However, even though it had been exposed to sunlight for a long time, the entire ancient tomb still looked gloomy and gave off an ominous aura.
"Zhe Ping, welcome. We can go on an adventure together again."
Obviously, Kanzaki had already received the news that Kaede Sato was coming, and he also attached great importance to Kaede Sato. As soon as he landed on the back of the Shining Gull, Kanzaki welcomed him warmly. He first gave Kaede Sato a big hug, then patted Kaede Sato's shoulder and said, "Of course not.
"Not at all. It's my honor to be able to explore with you."
Kanzaki was giving Kaede Sato so much face, so naturally, Kaede Sato couldn't let him down. He bowed slightly as a junior and replied with the same warm expression, with a hint of respect in his voice.
Kanzaki was obviously very satisfied with Kaede Sato's attitude. He patted Kaede Sato's shoulder again, and continued to encourage him.
Both Shirona and Kanzaki were in charge of exploring the ruins this time. Obviously, they had a lot of things to do, so they couldn't keep Kaede Sato company. Soon, the two left one after another.
Fortunately, before Shirona left, she gave Mina, who was familiar with the camp, to Kaede Sato as a guide. So, Kaede Sato didn't have to be blind and familiarize himself with the camp.
"Zheping -san, I'll take you to your accommodation now. Let me tell you, the conditions here are much better than when we were in the desert. You don't have to worry about being too hot to sleep at noon or too cold at night."
After Shirona left, Mina immediately said to Kaede Sato enthusiastically. As soon as she finished, she was ready to pull Kaede Sato forward.
"There's no hurry. Take me to the ruins now. I want to see the situation inside."
Kaede Sato heard this, shook his head, and then smiled at Mina.
"Ah, you want to go to the ruins now? Look, the sun is about to set. Let's go tomorrow. The ruins here are just as strange as the one in the desert. It'll be very dangerous at night. Kanzaki-sama, Hironana-sensei, and the Spirit-master don't allow people to explore at night. "
Mina heard that Kaede Sato wanted to go to the ruins to find the Flash Libra Doll now. She immediately turned to look at the sunset in the west, and then said to Kaede Sato timidly.
Ever since the ruins were excavated, she had been by Shirona's side. She was very clear about the situation in the ruins. Although most of the ancient guards in the ruins had been wiped out, there were still some areas that were very dangerous and strange.
Especially at night, the entire ruins seemed to have changed, and the danger was greatly increased. Even Kanzaki and Shirona didn't dare to take the risk at this time.
She heard from the Spirit-master that Kanzaki-sama spent a lot of effort to invite in the camp that there was a very powerful Earthbound Spirit in the ruins.
During the day, its power would naturally be greatly weakened. But at night, not only would its power be restored to its original state, but it would also become even stronger. Any creature that went to the ruins at night might be controlled by it.
"Don't worry, I won't go too deep. With me here, do you have to worry about not being able to get out? I'll leave a spiritual power coordinate at the entrance. As long as I want to, I can leave at any time. "
Kaede Sato saw Mina's scared expression and immediately smiled.
He wasn't being arrogant. He really did have the ability to do so. He had already proved this in the previous exploration of the ruins in the desert.
The reason why Kanzaki and Shirona valued him so much was that bringing Kaede Sato with them was equivalent to having an extra teleportation scroll. They could leave at any time they wanted.
Plus, Kaede Sato was very cautious and never acted rashly. He could give the people accompanying him a great sense of security.
"Alright, then. You can't go too deep."
As expected, when Mina heard Kaede Sato say this, the fear on her face immediately disappeared. She nodded and said, "I-I want to go too.
"I, I want to go too. Bring me along."
When Mina agreed to Kaede Sato's request, Gray finally couldn't help it anymore. His face was red, and he said with some embarrassment.
"No, you'll definitely run around after you go in. I don't want to bring you along."
When Mina heard this, she immediately rejected Gray's request without hesitation. She didn't even try to hide the disdain on her face.
"You!!!"
Gray was once again rebuffed by Mina, and his temper immediately flared up. He immediately glared at her, as if he would immediately explode if Mina dared to speak rudely to him again.
"Alright, stop arguing. Gray, I can bring you along, but I'll say this in advance. You must listen to me when we're inside. Otherwise, if something happens, I won't care about you."
Kaede Sato didn't want the two of them to quarrel and waste the remaining time before sunset, so he immediately spoke up to stop them.
Unfortunately, Kaede Sato obviously didn't have as much deterrence as Shirona did in Gray's heart. When Gray heard Kaede Sato say this, a trace of disdain immediately appeared on his face. It was as if he was saying that Kaede Sato didn't have the qualifications to order him around.
"Okay, okay."
In the next second, when Gray subconsciously wanted to refute Kaede Sato, Kaede Sato's cold eyes made all the hairs on his body stand up. He immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and lowered his head.
