After Kaede Sato subdued the crocodile, the mighty team set off again. This time, the exploration team's journey was quite smooth, and they did not encounter any major problems.
Finally, at around 10 am, the exploration team finally arrived at the desert where the Fantasy Ruin was buried.
Judging from the surrounding environment, the entire Fantasy Ruin was buried under a thick layer of yellow sand. If Sakaki Tomonari did not say with certainty that this was the location where the Fantasy Ruin was buried, Kaede Sato and the others would not have believed him.
However, when the exploration team gradually went deeper into the desert where the Fantasy Ruin was buried, Kaede Sato finally believed that there was an ancient ruin buried under the yellow sand.
This was because he saw some remains of ancient puppet soldiers that were exposed to the sand. To be precise, they were some broken parts of clay dolls, clay giants, and scale dolls.
Judging from the degree of weathering of these ancient puppet soldiers, they were damaged not long ago. If Kaede Sato's guess was correct, the people who destroyed these ancient puppet soldiers were Sakaki Tomonari and the others who escaped from the Fantasy Ruin not long ago.
Obviously, these ancient puppet soldiers in the ruin were very difficult to deal with. Even if the intruders escaped from the ruin, they would still chase after them relentlessly.
"The entrance to the ruin is under my feet, but it's buried under the yellow sand again. Now, we need to move the sand away from the entrance so that the outside air can circulate into the ruin. Otherwise, the oxygen content in the ruin won't be enough to support our exploration."
Sakaki Tomonari walked around in the sand and finally stopped at a certain location. He then said to the people around him solemnly.
Everyone went through a lot to come here, and their purpose was nothing more than to gain something from the ruin. Naturally, they would not back down now because of some yellow sand.
After Sakaki Tomonari confirmed the location of the entrance to the ruin, they released some powerful elves and then commanded them to dig the sand away from the entrance.
Under the joint efforts of the elves, some weathered mud bricks began to appear in front of everyone. As the excavation area expanded, a thick brick wall appeared in the excavation site.
"Very good, Taurus. It's up to you."
Sakaki Tominari's eyes lit up when he saw the brick wall in the excavation site. He asked the excavation team to stop and said to a man from the Rocket Team who was wearing a half-mask.
"Yes, sir."
"Come out, Daphne, Abbo-monster, Ba Wang Flower, use your Dissolving Liquid on the brick wall below."
The half-masked man named Taurus immediately bowed to Tomissei Sakaki and released three Level 45 Poison Elves. He ordered them to dissolve the ancient brick wall in the construction site.
As soon as Taurus finished speaking, Daphne and the other Poison Fairies immediately spat out a black liquid with a strong pungent smell from their mouths. As soon as the black liquid landed on the brick wall, white smoke immediately rose from the brick wall.
After a while, under the effect of Daphne, Abbo-monster, and Ba Wang Flower's Dissolving Liquid, the thick brick wall was instantly corroded into a large hole. Then, a gloomy black aura and some gas with a strong smell of decay were released from the large hole.
"Everyone, quickly disperse. The gas coming out of the hole is poisonous. Although it's not very toxic, it's better not to inhale it."
Sakaki Tominari saw that the dissolving liquid had corroded a large hole in the brick wall. He immediately walked out while shouting to the members of the ruin exploration team who were watching near the excavation site.
Hearing this, everyone immediately ran towards the direction of the wind. They were afraid of inhaling the murky gas that had been immersed in the ruin for god knows how long.
"What entrance is here? This is clearly a thief's hole. But Sakaki Tominari is very agile. It seems like this isn't the first time he's used this method to enter the ruin."
At this time, Kaede Sato, who had already arrived at the wind, looked at the dark hole in the excavation site from afar and thought to himself speechlessly.
The leaking process of the thief's hole lasted for more than two hours. At this time, the smell coming out of the thief's hole was not as obvious as it was at the beginning.
However, the gloomy black aura coming out of the thief's hole did not disappear. This gloomy black aura was obviously not something good. Even the fierce sun could not purify it in a short time.
The members of the ruin exploration team also took advantage of the time when the thief's hole was leaking to recuperate. When one of Sakaki Tominari's subordinates confirmed that the poisonous gas coming out of the thief's hole had basically disappeared, the group began their real exploration of the ruin.
Looking down from the hole, the sunlight that shone in could only leave a bowl-sized light spot on the ground. It could be seen that the thief's hole was obviously a long way from the surface.
Therefore, the group could only rely on some small flying Pixies and enter the ruin through the thief's hole.
Before Kaede Sato entered the ruin, he released the two Psychic Pixies, Natsuki and Hu Di, who could teleport, and then let them each plant a Psychic Coordinate at the entrance.
This Psychic Coordinate was an important safety guarantee for Kaede Sato's exploration of the ruin. If he encountered an enemy he could not defeat in the ruin, or if he was stuck in a difficult situation, the Psychic Coordinate would be a Psychic Coordinate.
This spiritual force coordinate would become an accurate spatial coordinate. It would allow Natural Sparrow or Hu Di to smoothly bring Kaede Sato back to the entrance through teleportation.
Of course, the Psychic Coordinate's radiation range was about a few dozen meters.
If Kaede Sato wanted Natsuki or Hu Di to safely teleport him back to the entrance safely, he would have to plant a new Psychic Coordinate every few dozen meters along the way to create a short distance teleportation channel.
After the two Psychic Pixies completed the construction of the Psychic Coordinate, Kaede Sato let the powerful Hu Di use telekinesis to teleport him and Tomas into the ruin through the thief's hole.
At this time, there were already a dozen exploration team members standing at the bottom of the thief's hole. They had already confirmed the surrounding environment before Kaede Sato came in. From the reports of the exploration team members who returned, the area around the entrance was still safe.
The bottom of the thief's hole seemed to be connected to a spacious corridor in the ruin. The entire corridor was very wide, and it could easily accommodate seven to eight people walking side by side.
On both sides of the corridor were two thick stone walls. With the help of the light, the group could clearly see a large number of unknown carvings on the stone walls. Because of the weathering of time, many of these carvings could not be seen clearly.
Now that the group was at the first level of the Dreamy Ruin, Sakaki Tomonari, who had already explored this place, was obviously very familiar with the route on this level.
Moreover, the patrolling Ancient Puppet Soldiers on this level had clearly been cleared. Along the way, the exploration team did not encounter any danger.
After a while, Sakaki Tomonari led the exploration team through the complicated corridors and entered a mysterious hall.
At this time, the hall was a mess. The ground was littered with the remains of Ancient Puppet Soldiers. There were also a large number of craters on the ground. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here.
"Everyone, be careful. The real troublesome guy is coming."
Sakaki Tomonari led the group into the mysterious hall. He looked at the walls around the hall and found that the walls were intact. He immediately said to the group with a serious face.
Just as he finished speaking, a loud "Bang!!!" was heard.
The stone door that had been opened behind them closed automatically, and at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, some mysterious creatures that looked like letters with one eye in the center began to fly out from the walls around the mysterious hall. They quickly gathered together and then arranged themselves in a certain order.
