In the ruins, there were only a few visible buildings.
Countless copper mechanical life forms were crowded at the bottom, making the existence of the ruins seem even weaker.
Looking at this scene, even Law, who was the strongest in the team, felt a lot of pressure.
If the individual threat level of the copper mechanical life forms was C, then their overall rating must be A, because the number of them raised the overall level.
"This number … is amazing." Norb looked at Law's profile.
"I agree." White wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with difficulty: "If you don't look carefully, you really can't see where the ruins are."
"The real ruins are underground, not on the ground." The skeleton man suddenly reminded.
"Huh?"
The skeleton man's timely reminder was not mentioned when he revealed the relevant information before.
Therefore, after hearing the skeleton man's reminder, White and the others were a little surprised.
If there were only a few ruins on the ground, then the exploration motivation was really lacking.
However, if the ground was full of dangerous copper mechanical life forms, then wouldn't the underground be even more exaggerated?
"So, so, we, must, must, must, must, go inside the ruins?" Nick stammered.
Hearing Nick's words, everyone looked at Law.
Dong Ba thought to himself. Last time, he had been frightened by a single bronze mechanical life form. Now, there were simply too many of them to count.
However, the copper mechanical life forms here seemed to be a little different from the ones they encountered last time.
"Do you think Otobrix will be interested in the ruins?"
Law gently stomped his foot and motioned for Black Cat to stop.
Black Cat received the order and immediately stopped moving. Standing on the transparent foothold created by Law's domain, it looked down at the copper mechanical life forms below that were in a commotion because of their arrival.
"Definitely interested!"
Hearing Law's question, Sa Ling responded without hesitation.
Law glanced at Sa Ling helplessly, thinking that she was the one who was most interested.
Jin looked down at the scene below and said seriously: "If it were me, I would definitely go in and check it out."
"Me too, but I will make decisions based on the degree of risk. In this case, without the support of teammates, I will never take the risk to go in." Sheila whispered.
"Indeed, under such circumstances, the feeling of being isolated and helpless must be terrible." Biscay sighed.
"But isn't Higashi alone? No matter how powerful he is, it's also very difficult to get rid of these things, right? "Boha murmured.
Before encountering the Skeletons, they might have doubted whether Ebrio was a true loner.
However, according to the information provided by the Skeleton Man, there was no need to doubt it.
Higashi Hiroshi was indeed a solo adventurer.
Then, there was a problem.
Alone, would he take the risk to break through the obstacles made of countless copper mechanical life forms below?
If there was a low possibility that Higashi had left footprints inside the ruins, was there a need for the team to take the risk?
People like Sa Ling and Jin Zhi, no matter what, would definitely want to enter the ruins to explore.
Norb and the others, on the other hand, were more concerned about the risks involved in this operation.
In a complete team, decisions were usually made by the minority following the majority.
However, the captain's decision could often determine the direction of the wind.
Therefore, Law's decision usually had a decisive effect in such a clear-cut situation.
To go, or not to go?
Before the final decision came out, Dongba and Black Cat issued a warning almost at the same time.
Dongba was really shocked by the astonishing number of copper mechanical life forms below, so he made a rare mistake and did not detect the arrival of the attackers in time.
Black Cat did not participate in the conversation, so he could always pay attention to the situation below.
So when the attackers came towards them from below, he, who was not as alert as Dongba, was able to discover the attackers almost at the same time as Dongba.
The attackers were a flock of palm-sized, pitch-black crows. Their eyes were white, as if they were the eyes of evil spirits.
The crows were small in size, but there were a lot of them.
They huddled together, but it did not affect their flight. Their target was clearly the Black Cat hovering in the air.
The sudden appearance of the crows made the copper mechanical life forms below even more irritated.
"I'll do it."
Staji volunteered.
She rarely participated in the team's discussions and decisions. She usually did not speak much, but if the team was in danger, she would often be the first to stand up.
Black and white Psychokinesis surged on her body, then flowed to her hands, and in the blink of an eye, it materialized into a black stone harp.
The clear sound of the harp suddenly sounded, and many air blades visible to the naked eye flew towards the crows.
Chi Chi Chi!
Quite a number of air blades slashed at the bodies of the crows, as if they were cutting tofu. In an instant, the aggressive flock of crows was crushed into pieces.
However, there were no feathers or blood.
The crows were cut into countless pieces by the air blades, and then slowly disappeared in the air as if they had never appeared.
Seeing Staji's attack, the skeleton man could not help but shrink his neck, although he did not have a neck.
"It's Qi."
Law looked at the place where the pieces disappeared.
Then, there was a lot of movement below.
Everyone followed the sound and looked in the direction of the movement, only to find that there were not only copper mechanical life forms in the ruins, but there was also another existence.
A … scarecrow?
.....
Deep in the ruins.
Creak … Creak …
An ear-piercing sound of friction echoed in the passage.
Broken copper pieces were scattered on the dusty brick floor.
Crystal fragments emitting a faint light were mixed in with many copper pieces.
Three white butterflies fluttered in the passage, their light feet landing on the crystal fragments.
After standing still for a while, the light of the crystal dimmed.
Creak … Creak …
The masked man kept scratching the smooth mask with his long sharp nails, and went to the other end of the passage.
Soon, he came to a Y-shaped fork, and suddenly stopped, tilted his head slightly, and silently stared at the fork.
The white butterflies slowly landed on the masked man's head and shoulders, gently flapping their wings.
It seemed that he did not know the way, or that he had difficulty choosing.
The masked man stood in front of the fork, motionless, and stopped scratching the mask.
A moment later, a sound of footsteps came from one of the passages.
The white butterflies that landed on the masked man seemed to be disturbed, flapping their wings and flying into the air.
The masked man suddenly looked at the passage where the footsteps came from.
