The five of them concealed their aura with a supreme relic and left the well.
The supreme relic that concealed their aura was prepared by them before they entered the ruins. It was for them to sneak around and escape. It could block all senses below imperial-level. Even if they encountered an imperial-level, it would still work if they were a certain distance away.
After flying out of the well, the five of them sneaked along the wreckage of the military stronghold and soon arrived at the entrance of the wreckage.
The five of them stuck their heads out from behind the broken wall and looked at the world outside the ruins.
At that moment, the sun had set and the sky was dark.
There were already quite a number of monsters wandering around the ruins. At a glance, there were at least a few hundred of them walking around in a scattered manner.
"There are a few of them on immortal-level." Yi Zheng did not care about the holy fire-level monsters. He was looking for more powerful monsters among the wandering monsters. Soon, he found four immortal-level chief-level monsters.
As the sky got darker, the number of monsters increased. Many of them crawled out of the cracks on the ground.
There were all sorts of monsters in the ruins. Besides the flesh monsters, there were also some powerful spirit-type skeletons. Their combat strength ranged from holy fire-level to immortal-level. Some of them were in human form while others were in monster form. However, the skeletons and the flesh monsters did not seem to be easy to deal with. They would fight whenever they encountered them.
"These spirit-type skeletons should be the original residents of the ruins," Leng Yuexin speculated after observing for a while. Leng Yuexin speculated after observing for a while. "The other flesh creatures must have come from the Virtual Eye."
Lin Huang nodded as he had learned about this from the Kaiserpede's memory. Not only would the spirit-type monsters kill flesh monsters, but the human skeletons and the monster skeletons would also be enemies. As for the flesh monsters, they would kill other flesh monsters for food while fighting the skeletons for survival.
"It seems like they don't dare to come close to the ruins." Yi Yeyu thought it was strange.
"Maybe it's because this is the Kaiserpede's territory. Yi Zheng speculated, "Although the Kaiserpede's combat strength is on immortal-level rank-3, its venom is terrifying. I guess monsters below immortal-level rank-6 wouldn't want to offend it. It can be considered as an overlord here."
"The number of monsters is increasing …" Li Lang's expression did not look too good after he came out and saw the monsters everywhere. The reason being that the monsters outside were not only holy fire-level but also immortal-level monsters. There were almost ten immortal-level monster leaders.
"Although we didn't see any imperial-level monsters, judging from the number of immortal-level monsters, Bloody's investigation shouldn't be wrong." Leng Yuexin frowned. "This is indeed a grade-4 ruin."
"We've seen enough. Let's go back underground." Lin Huang heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone finally knew how dangerous the ruins were.
They nodded and began to slowly retreat.
At this moment, Li Lang accidentally stepped on a piece of dead wood, and a cracking sound came from under his feet.
The few of them stopped moving and peeked outside. A few monsters nearby turned their heads and looked in their direction.
A few of them hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they did not dare to approach.
However, two of the gold flame-level monsters were approaching the direction carefully after some hesitation.
Their hearts skipped a beat. "We're exposed!"
Before Lin Huang could attack, Lancelot took a step forward and appeared outside the ruins. Its blue eyes were filled with killing intent as it glared at the two monsters that were approaching it. The two monsters froze in their tracks. Before they could react, Lancelot swung the sword in his hand and the heads of the two monsters flew into the air at the same time. Blood splattered all over the ground.
The rest of the monsters looked at Lancelot with fear, including the immortal-level monsters nearby.
Lancelot glanced around with his blue eyes. He then took a big step forward and dragged the two monster carcasses back to the ruins.
The rest of the monsters that were nearby immediately moved further away from the ruins. The immortal-level monsters that were watching from afar looked away as if they had no intention of entering the ruins.
Aside from Lin Huang, the rest of them broke out in a cold sweat.
Of course, Bloody was the one who had asked Lancelot to do that.
As soon as Lin Huang and the rest were exposed, the monsters outside would not hesitate to enter the ruins. However, it would be different if Lancelot attacked. The other monsters would think that there was a powerful monster in the area. The ruins originally belonged to the Kaiserpede. Since Lancelot was here, it meant that the powerful Kaiserpede now had a powerful subordinate. That was the reason why the other immortal-level monsters chose to ignore the commotion. They were not afraid of Lancelot, but the Kaiserpede behind Lancelot.
"It's alright now. Let's go back." After making sure that there was no commotion outside, Lin Huang led them back to the underground.
A few minutes later, Leng Yuexin sealed the entire room with her ice to get rid of the strange smell in the room. They then took out cushions from their storage space and sat down.
"Now, we can confirm that this is at least a grade-4 ruin." Lin Huang was the first to speak.
"At least?" The rest of them looked at Lin Huang.
"Although we didn't see any demigods, it doesn't mean that there aren't any demigods in the ruins. That's why we can only classify the ruins as a grade-4 ruin," Lin Huang explained.
"Lin Huang, do you know something?" It was not the first time Leng Yuexin noticed that Lin Huang was behaving strangely. She could not help but ask, "If you really treat us as friends, you shouldn't hide anything from us."
Lin Huang lowered his head and fell into silence. He then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll tell you everything I know about the ruins."
He had no choice but to tell her everything he knew about the ruins as Leng Yuexin interrogated him.
When they found out that there were three demigod remains and a mysterious being in the ruins, they were excited.
"Why didn't you tell us about such important information from the beginning?" Li Lang asked.
"Because I didn't know about it in the beginning. I only found out about it after I met the Kaiserpede," Lin Huang said helplessly, "After I killed it, I read its memory …"
A gleam of fear flashed through their eyes. The ability to read the memory of the dead sounded too powerful. It was no wonder that Lin Huang had been hiding it.
"Erm … Can you read the inheritance too?" Li Lang asked curiously.
"I can't read the sealed information in the brain." Lin Huang hid part of the truth as Bloody's ability was too terrifying. Basically, as long as the seal was not on a demigod, Bloody could unlock it with its current ability.
"This ability …" Yi Zheng paused and adjusted his thoughts. He then continued, "We'll keep it a secret for you. No one else will know about this."
"I found out about this ruin from the Cavernous Devils. However, they didn't know as much as the Kaiserpede," Lin Huang explained.
"About your ability, we won't investigate further," Yi Zheng said. Yi Zheng said seriously, "What we need to discuss now is whether there's a need to continue exploring the ruins. After all, Lin Huang, you said that there'll be a large-scale blood sacrifice three days later. Almost no living thing can escape from the battle. "
"Usually, the other monsters won't invade this ruin. Firstly, they're afraid of the Kaiserpede's ability. Secondly, we can hide our aura here so the other monsters won't notice us. " Lin Huang explained further, "However, the monsters will hunt at night. We can't go out at night, so we can only kill the monsters during the day."
"As for the blood sacrifice three days later, there'll definitely be monsters invading. I think we'll have a higher chance of success if we guard this foothold. As the entrance to the ruin is only so big, the number of monsters that can enter each time is limited. Moreover, this underground fortification is made of special materials. Even immortal-level monsters can't destroy it. As long as we survive the night, we'll be safe for the next month, "Lin Huang suggested.
"But what if there's an imperial-level or high-level immortal-level monster invading? What should we do? There's only one entrance to this ruin. If there's a powerful monster that we can't defeat, we'll have nowhere to run! "
"Therefore, I think we should explore a few more ruins within the next two days and set up the coordinates of the dimensional relic in each of the ruins. If a monster invades one of the ruins, we can use the dimensional relic to move to another one. If the second ruin is invaded, we'll move to the third one! "Of course, Lin Huang came up with this idea from Bloody.
Their eyes lit up when they heard that.
"There's a limited number of imperial-level monsters in this ruin. We can't be so weak that all the dimensional relic points are invaded by imperial-level monsters. Moreover, we have Bloody as our eyes. We can see which foothold hasn't been invaded by monsters that are stronger than us. "Lin Huang continued to persuade them. He hoped that they could stay and survive this.
"That's a great idea. I'm on Lin Huang's side this time!" Li Lang was excited when he heard that.
"As long as we survive the night, we'll be safe for a month. I think it's worth the risk," Yi Yeyu agreed.
"The feasibility of this plan is quite high. After all, this is a grade-5 ruin. As long as we survive this, we'll be able to reap great rewards for the next month. "Leng Yuexin nodded.
After a moment of silence, Yi Zheng finally nodded. "Alright then. Although it's a little risky, it sounds feasible. There are some details that we can discuss in detail. "
