Gray was convinced by Sirona, but that didn't mean that he would be convinced by Mina, a girl who was younger than him and had no reputation, even if she was Sirona's disciple.
"I don't believe you. How can I lose to you?"
Therefore, when Mina provoked him, he immediately reverted back to his previous self, Long Aotian, and said with a face full of dissatisfaction.
"Alright, you're not convinced, are you? Then let's have a competition."
Mina was overjoyed when she heard Gray's words, and immediately continued to provoke him.
She didn't complete the task that Sirona gave her perfectly, and this made her very upset.
Now that Gray took the initiative to challenge her, it was a good opportunity for her to vent her anger, and at the same time, show off the results of her recent efforts in front of Sirona, killing two birds with one stone.
Gray couldn't stand Mina's provocation, and immediately agreed. He actually had the same idea as Mina, and wanted to show off his strength in front of Sirona, so that Sirona would agree to his request.
"Alright, Mina, stop fooling around. I'm sorry, Gray, but I can't agree to your request. Just as Mina said, exploring ruins is very dangerous, and the slightest mistake could cost you your life. I can't just let you join."
Seeing that Mina and Gray were about to fight, Sirona, who was in a hurry, couldn't let them go on like this. She immediately stopped them and said with a cold face.
Since Sirona had spoken, Mina and Gray naturally couldn't fight. The two immediately shut their mouths resentfully, and instantly became obedient children.
"However, it's not a problem to let you observe the ruins. Now that we've explored most of the ruins, as long as you don't go to the dangerous areas, there won't be too much danger."
Sirona wasn't an unreasonable person, and when she found out that Gray was indeed interested in exploring the ruins, and seeing that he was her fan, she also invited him.
Gray heard this and immediately nodded obediently, then released a tropical dragon, and followed Kaede Sato, Sirona, and Mina to the nearby ruins.
Not long after, under Sirona's lead, Kaede Sato and the others arrived above the ruins and landed in the campsite 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 the big city, the whole camp was like a small village. It was arranged in good order, and all kinds of living facilities had basically been built.
Moreover, the graverobbers were not as rampant as they were in the desert. Along the way, Kaede Sato only saw a few graverobbers scattered in the dense forest near the ruins.
Judging from the current situation, the excavation of the ruins had come to an end. Most of the ruins that were originally buried underground had already seen the light of day. However, even after being exposed to the sun for a long time, the entire ancient tomb still appeared gloomy, revealing an ominous atmosphere.
"Welcome, Zheping. We can go on an adventure together again."
Kamiyo had obviously received the news that Kaede Sato was coming, and he also attached great importance to Kaede Sato. As soon as Kaede Sato landed from the back of the Flashing Mouth Gull, Kamiyo greeted him warmly. He first gave Kaede Sato a big hug, then patted Kaede Sato's shoulder and said.
"Oh, it's my honor to be able to explore with you."
Since Kamiyo gave Kaede Sato so much face, Kaede Sato naturally didn't want to embarrass him. He bowed slightly as a junior and replied with the same enthusiasm with a hint of respect in his voice.
Kamiyo was obviously very satisfied with Kaede Sato's attitude. He patted Kaede Sato's shoulder again and continued to encourage him.
Sirona and Kamiyo were both in charge of this exploration of the ruins. Both of them obviously had a lot of things to do, so they couldn't accompany Kaede Sato all the time. Soon, the two of them left one after another.
Fortunately, before Sirona left, she asked Mina, who was familiar with the campsite, to be a guide for Kaede Sato. Kaede Sato didn't have to blindly familiarize himself with the campsite.
"Mr. Zheping, 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 not being able to sleep in the afternoon and freezing to death at night."
After Sirona left, Mina immediately said to Kaede Sato enthusiastically. As soon as she finished speaking, she was ready to pull Kaede Sato forward.
"There's no rush. Take me to the ruins now. I want to see the situation inside."
When Kaede Sato heard this, he shook his head and looked at Mina with a smile.
"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 incredibly dangerous at night. Kanzaki-sama, Master Sirona, and Spirit-sama all forbid anyone from exploring at night. "
When Mina heard that Kaede Sato wanted to go to the ruins to look for the Shining Libra Puppet, she immediately turned to look at the sunset in the west. Then, she said to Kaede Sato timidly.
Ever since the ruins were excavated, she had been following Sirona around. She was very clear about the situation inside the ruins. Although most of the ancient guards in the ruins had been cleared, there were still some areas that were very dangerous and strange.
Especially at night, the entire ruins seemed to change, and the danger level increased greatly. Even Kamiyo and Sirona didn't dare to take the risk at this time.
She heard from the Cleric that Master Kamiyo spent a lot of effort to hire that there was a very powerful Earthbound Spirit in the ruins.
During the day, its power would be greatly weakened, but at night, its power would not only recover, but it would also become stronger. Any creature that went to the ruins at night could be controlled by it.
"Don't worry, I won't go too deep. With me here, you won't have to worry about not being able to get out. I'll leave a spiritual coordinate at the entrance. As long as I want to, I can leave at any time. "
Kaede Sato said with a smile when he saw Mina's frightened look.
It wasn't that he was arrogant, but he really did have the ability to do so. He had already proven this during the exploration of the ruins in the desert.
The reason why Kamiyo and Sirona valued him so much was largely because bringing Kaede Sato with them was equivalent to having an extra teleportation scroll. They could leave at any time they wanted.
In addition, Kaede Sato was very cautious and never acted rashly. He could give the people who accompanied him a great sense of security.
"Okay then, let's make it clear, you can't go too deep."
Sure enough, when Mina heard Kaede Sato say this, the fear on her face disappeared by half, and she nodded and said.
"I, I want to go too, bring me along."
When Mina agreed to Kaede Sato, Gray finally couldn't hold it in any longer. His face was red, and he said embarrassedly.
"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, and she didn't hide the disgust 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.
"Okay, stop arguing. Gray, I can bring you along, but let's make it clear in advance, you have to listen to me in all actions inside. Otherwise, if anything happens, I won't help you."
Kaede Sato didn't want the two to waste the little time left before sunset because of arguing, so he immediately stopped the two.
Unfortunately, Kaede Sato was obviously not as intimidating as Sirona in Gray's heart. When Gray heard Kaede Sato say this, his face immediately showed a trace of disdain, as if he was saying that Kaede Sato didn't have the qualifications to command him at all.
"Okay, okay."
In the next second, when Gray was about to subconsciously refute Kaede Sato, Kaede Sato's pair of cold eyes made his hair stand on end. He immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and then lowered his head and said.
