"Don't worry, I'm not a rookie. I'm the great dwarf explorer, Valadin!" The Dwarven Juggernaut patted his chest and said, "And my armor will protect me from harm!"
"I hope so!" Suhlen shrugged.
Soon, the workers cleared all the sand and stones piled up at the entrance of the passage. Suhlen nodded to the three and said, "Let's begin!"
After that, Suhlen snapped his fingers and summoned a gust of wind that blew into the passage. Then, ten seconds later, a gust of wind rushed out with a foul and decaying smell.
"Okay, you can go in now." After the foul air in the passage was sucked out, Suhlen gestured to the workers next to him. Then, the workers came over with various tools.
Supports, pulleys, ropes, torches, hooks, medicine, bandages. After all the preparations were completed, Suhlen's figure flashed, and he slid down the passage with one hand holding the rope.
The entrance of the cave was about ten meters away from the entrance of the passage. After Suhlen came to the passage, he looked around. With Darkvision, he could see normally in the dark. He did not find any danger in the passage. He lit the torch and fixed it on the wall next to him. Suhlen then shouted, "It's safe, you can come down now!"
The second to come down was Bane the Rogue. The agile Bane grabbed the rope and slid down quickly. When he was three meters away from the ground, he landed firmly on the ground after a light flip.
"Hey, excuse me, I'm coming down!" At this moment, Valadin's voice came from above.
Bane took two steps back and said, "Okay, you can come down now!"
As soon as his voice fell, a black shadow fell from above.
"Whoosh!"
Duang！
The Dwarven Juggernaut landed with a dull thud.
"Damn it, I hate falling!" The Dwarf in heavy armor shook his head, then grabbed his battle axe and stood up from the ground. His heavy armor was at least fifty pounds. An ordinary person would not be able to withstand such a height.
"Buddy, you should be gentle. This is the ruins. Don't wake those guys up!" Bain reminded him.
However, Valadin wasn't too bothered. "Don't worry. If those skeletons dare to wake up, my axe won't mind killing them again!"
Soon, Jayne also came down from above, and all four of them were present. Next, the few of them walked into the depths of the passage with torches in hand. There were many well-preserved murals on the walls on both sides of the passage, which recorded the construction of the city ruins.
In the corner of the passage, there were many bottles and jars. Valadin seemed to be interested in those jars. He opened them and took a look, only to find that the contents had long rotted, leaving only a pile of black stuff.
At this moment, Suhlen suddenly heard a rustling sound, like the sound of leaves being dragged on the ground by the wind.
"Stop!"
"Something's happening!"
Suhlen reminded him immediately. The other three immediately moved closer to the center and stared at their surroundings without blinking. However, after a few seconds, they did not discover any enemies.
"Boss, did you hear wrongly? There are no enemies here. "Valadin looked for a long time, but no enemies appeared.
Suhlen's expression was serious. He didn't let down his guard because of Valadin's words.
"They're here!" At this moment, along with a rustling sound, small mounds of dirt suddenly rose from the ground. In the next second, countless sinister-looking insects with black carapaces rushed out from the sand like a tide.
"It's the Sacred Death Beetles!"
"Damn it, run!"
"Valadin hates insects!"
Tens of thousands of strange insects rushed over like a tide. Bain, Jayne, and Valadin felt their scalps go numb as they quickly ran back.
"Use fire!"
Suhlen raised his hand and threw a bottle of kerosene. The bottle shattered and the kerosene instantly ignited. The surrounding Sacred Death Beetles were immediately engulfed in flames.
"Yes, use fire!" The three of them immediately reacted. They grabbed the kerosene and threw it over. Soon, a wall of fire appeared in the passage. The temperature of the wall of fire was very high, but the Sacred Death Beetles didn't have the slightest fear. They directly rushed into the fire. Soon, a series of crackling sounds came from the flames.
At the same time, the Sacred Death Beetles also attacked from the walls and ceiling. Although the wall of fire was very big, there were too many Sacred Death Beetles. There were still many Sacred Death Beetles that rushed through the flames. The few of them hurriedly killed the Sacred Death Beetles.
However, at this moment, the ground behind them bulged and countless black Sacred Death Beetles rushed over like a tide.
"Behind! There are also insects behind us! " Valadin, who was using his axe to hit the gophers, no, to hit the insects, turned around and almost dropped his axe as he shouted in fear.
"It's over! It's over! I can't go back and marry my little Nasha. I won't be able to see her bucket-like waist and that sexy beard again … I'm sorry Nasha! "Valadin said with a sad face.
"Damn it, why are there so many insects! Kerosene, is there any more kerosene? Quickly throw a bottle over! " Jayne stepped on a few Sacred Death Beetles that rushed over and waved his hand to sweep away the Sacred Death Beetles that climbed onto his leg.
"The kerosene has been used up!" Bain said helplessly as he chopped two Sacred Death Beetles into four pieces. He was too excited to throw away the kerosene just now.
"Get out of the way!"
Suhlen shouted. He turned around and aimed his palm at the tunnel. "Burning Hand!"
Scorching flames instantly flew out from his palm and covered the entire tunnel in a breath. The flames wreaked havoc and instantly swallowed all the Sacred Death Beetles in the tunnel.
"This … this counts as surviving?" Bain looked at the burning tunnel and sighed in relief.
The flames burned for close to five minutes. The temperature in the tunnel also became hot and the air was filled with a burnt stench. There were a lot of Sacred Death Beetles. After five minutes, the insect tide finally retreated. When the black insect tide retreated, a thick layer of burnt Sacred Death Beetles was left on the ground.
"Pei! It stinks. "Valadin stomped a Sacred Death Beetle that was still alive to death.
After the battle, Suhlen once again lit a torch and continued to explore the depths of the ruins. After the Sacred Death Beetle Tide, the group became more cautious. However, they did not encounter any more disgusting insects in the following exploration.
After passing through this section of the tunnel, Suhlen discovered that the tunnel behind them had been buried by sand. He could only inform the workers above to come down and dig up the tunnel again. Exploration of ruins was like this. Most of the time, they needed to clear the path bit by bit.
Fortunately, the tunnel was not buried for long. After half an hour, the tunnel was dug up.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A gust of cold wind blew. Suhlen frowned slightly. Some strange sounds came from the tunnel, making people feel creepy.
After the tunnel was dug up, Suhlen saw the scene behind the tunnel. It was a hall with an area of about two thousand square meters. The entire hall looked like it had been ransacked and was very messy. On the floor of the hall, there were a large number of skeletons. These skeletons seemed to be divided into two camps. Many of the skeletons were still fighting each other before they died.
Crash!
A sudden sound came from the empty hall, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Under everyone's gaze, a blue flame suddenly appeared and the skeletons on the floor began to move.
"It's the undead!"
"All workers, retreat!" Su Lun immediately ordered the moment he saw the blue will-o '-the-wisp.
The workers hurriedly ran back to where they came from.
Crash! Crash!
Crash! The sound of bones colliding could be heard. Over a hundred skeletons stood up in the hall. The strength of the skeletons was not high. They were only slightly stronger than the lowest level skeletons and zombies. Their challenge rating was level 5. Barnes, Valadin, and Valadin were all high level professionals. Dealing with these low level undead was not a problem.
In the previous battle, the three of them were unable to use their full strength against the Sacred Death Beetles. However, facing these skeletons, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Valadin was wearing heavy armor. He waved his axe and rushed forward. The attacks of the skeletons could only cause some shallow scratches on his armor. However, every time he swung his axe, he could smash the skeletons into pieces. Barnes and Jayne, who were following behind, waved their scimitars and swords. The skeletons were quickly destroyed.
The battle only lasted for ten minutes. Therefore, the skeletons were dealt with. The hall was filled with broken bones. After dealing with these skeletons, they did not rest and began to clean up the battlefield. These skeletons were very poor. In addition to some broken weapons, they only had some low level soul crystals. The quality of these soul crystals was very poor and their value was very low.
"What a bunch of poor bastards!" Jayne, who was on the side, picked up a soul crystal and cursed.
"This hall is a side hall. Look around and see if there are any passages that lead to other places!" Suhlen said as he looked around the hall.
Soon, they found a closed stone door. Rogue Barnes looked in front of the stone door for a long time and finally found the opening mechanism of the stone door. He pressed the mechanism, but the stone door did not move.
"It should be broken!" Barnes said awkwardly.
"Let me do it!" Suhlen took a step forward. A light flashed and instantly hit the stone door in front of him. In the next second, the heavy stone door turned into a pile of soft soil and slid down.
After entering the stone door, a small room appeared in front of them. There were a few skeletons inside and some gold items scattered around the room. Seeing these items, the three of them were very excited. Fortunately, they remembered that Suhlen was the captain. Although they were envious, they did not make a move.
"Clean it up. We'll distribute it when we get out." Suhlen was not very interested in these things. These gold items had been buried in the ruins for thousands of years. Many of them were shrouded in negative energy. Normal people who came in contact with them might get sick. They needed to find a priest to dispel the negative energy or let them be exposed to the sun for a period of time.
