As long as one was alive, one had to look forward. After Kaede Sato comforted the group of guards, he returned to the high platform to meditate and continue to use his mental power to inspect the surrounding environment.
The night passed quickly, and the next day soon arrived. The remaining members of the ruin exploration team had their breakfast and packed their luggage before setting off again.
Other than being harassed by a small group of wild Pixies, nothing major happened during the rest of the journey. The ruin exploration team finally arrived at the location of the ruin before noon.
Just looking at it from a distance, this small part of the ruin that was exposed was very large. Although it was not as large as a modern metropolis, it was at least one-fifth the size of a modern metropolis.
From this, it could be seen that perhaps this vast desert used to be a fertile land a long time ago. The ancient people built their own prosperous civilization here. Although the ancient people had passed away, this almost perfectly preserved ruin still recounted the glory of the ancient people.
Speaking of which, the reason why this ruin was so well-preserved was largely due to the barrier that sealed it. Although this barrier could not be seen with the naked eye, it could be touched.
Kaede Sato was able to sense the existence of the barrier through his mental power. The formation of this barrier was supported by the continuous flow of ground energy from the earth. The characteristic of the ground energy was that it was thick and solid, and the barrier formed by it naturally had this characteristic.
According to Kamiyo and Sirona, even the weakest part of this barrier could withstand the attack of a Heavenly King-tier Pixies. Moreover, even if the combined strength of many Heavenly King-tier Pixies succeeded in breaking a hole in the barrier, the hole would quickly repair itself.
Furthermore, the speed of the restoration was simply unbelievably fast. At most, it would only take two seconds for a person to pass through.
Therefore, perhaps an agile Heavenly King-tier trainer could enter with his own strength, but if he were to bring others in, it would be somewhat difficult.
It could be seen that the civilization of the ancient people was not necessarily worse than the modern people. In some ways, the ancient people were even better. For example, the ground energy barrier that sealed this huge ruin was something that modern people could not do for the time being. (Another example was the Sky Pillar built on the sea.)
So far, only a small part of this ruin was exposed from the yellow sand due to the movement of the earth's crust. Therefore, if everyone wanted to see the full picture of this huge ruin, they would still need the help of many advanced excavation instruments brought from the ruin exploration.
In fact, before the exploration team arrived at the ruins, many people had already gathered around the ruins and built their own camps here. Kaede Sato estimated that there were at least five to six hundred people.
Naturally, these people were not on the same side as the ancient ruins exploration team. In general, in the eyes of the ancient ruins exploration team, who had the official documents of the Alliance, these people were all grave robbers.
However, that being said, the combined strength of the tomb robbers here was actually not weaker than a ruin exploration team with two Heavenly King-tier trainers. To a certain extent, they were even much stronger.
After all, no one who dared to be a tomb robber these days was easy to deal with. It was unlike the ruin exploration team who brought along a group of technicians who had no combat power. Once a fight broke out, these people who had no combat power would definitely become the weakness of the tomb robbers.
Moreover, it was not that there were no powerhouses among the tomb robbers. After all, when the forest was big, there were all kinds of birds. Many famous archaeologists in the archaeological world were actually tomb robbers. Even Kamiyo was a tomb robber in his early years, but he turned over a new leaf midway.
For example, this extremely arrogant person who appeared in front of Kamiyo and greeted him. His reputation in the archaeological world was not inferior to Kamiyo's, or even better. However, he was a top tomb robber who specialized in stealing relics and treasures for a living.
"Aiyayaya ~ Isn't this my cute junior apprentice-brother, Kanzaki? Why are you so late? Your senior apprentice-brother here has been eating the northwest wind for several days now. I've been waiting for you to come and open the barrier to these ruins for me tomorrow."
When the exploration team arrived near the ruins, a muscular man riding on a gigantic hippopotamus suddenly appeared in front of everyone, leaving a cloud of yellow dust behind him. He then grinned at Kanzaki, who was at the front of the exploration team. Kanzaki was at the front of the exploration team.
Not long after this strong man appeared, a group of people riding fire-breathing camels and wearing uniforms also appeared behind him one after another. They then cooperated with the lean man to block the path of the ruin exploration team.
"Hmph, there are really scavenging vultures everywhere. Last time, the ruin was so dangerous, but you still didn't die. What a lucky bastard. Get out of the way, Abais, or don't blame me for being rude."
When Kamiyo saw the person who took the lead to block the path in front of him, his face suddenly became gloomy. He hurriedly scolded, as if he couldn't wait to attack immediately.
"Oh ~ You really are an ungrateful wretch. Back then, Master was really blind. He shouldn't have saved you in the ruin and called you capable. Now that your wings have hardened, you don't listen to me. Poor Ah Lei, she followed an ungrateful wretch like you."
The lean man was obviously a shameless hooligan. When he heard Kamiyo scolding him like this, he didn't get angry and continued to preach to Kamiyo with a fake smile.
"Don't mention Ah Lei's name in front of me. You damn guy, you don't deserve to mention her. That little bit of affection in the early years is gone after Ah Lei died. Quickly disappear before I get angry. Otherwise, even if I don't go down this ruin exploration, I will definitely take your life."
When Kanzaki heard the skinny man, Abas, say Lei's name, he almost lost his cool. His eyes were bloodshot, and it was clear that he was extremely angry at this time. However, he still held it in and said to Abas while gnashing his teeth.
"Hmph, so what if I mention her? If it weren't for you, Ah Lei wouldn't have died. In the end, it's you who harmed her."
When Abais heard Kamiyo's words, especially when Kamiyo said that he didn't deserve to say Ah Lei's name, he immediately showed anger on his face and said tit-for-tat.
For a time, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely hostile.
Kaede Sato heard the conversation between the two from the side. He couldn't tell that there was definitely some kind of entanglement of love and hate between the two. The two sides had a deep enmity. He quickly held a pokeball to prevent the two from suddenly fighting.
Seiji had already used his system's detection ability to observe the hippopotamus beneath the skinny man. It was definitely a Level 79 Heavenly King-tier Elf, which was even higher level than Kanzaki's highest-leveled Imitation Night Spirit.
Moreover, the group of people behind the lean man were all weak. Judging from the level of their mounts, each of them was at least as strong as an Elite Trainer.
Once a fight broke out, the two Heavenly King Tier Trainers in the ruin exploration team would definitely not lose, but they would definitely suffer a great loss.
"Why are you being so overbearing, Grandmaster Abas? Don't tell me you don't want to enter the ruins this time? I've long heard that Grandmaster Abas is very powerful. Why don't we have a fight here?"
Just as the two sides were about to fight, Sirona got down from an air-conditioned car with the Fiery-Bite Land Shark. Then, she walked gracefully in front of Abais. Her beautiful face was full of fighting spirit as she smiled.
