Was it a creature other than the copper mechanical life form, or was it Higashi who might have come here?
Both are possible, but Law hopes it is the latter.
It's just that judging from the place where the vines grew again, it should have been a while.
Of course, it's basically impossible to calculate the approximate time without knowing the growth rate of the vines.
Law will not waste energy on this issue and led the team to continue to light up the map in the underground ruins.
Time passed by, two hours, three hours …
Along the way, they found that the area of the underground ruins was very vast, no wonder they couldn't see the bottom at a glance when they were on the ground.
Regrettably, other than finding several traces of vines being plucked and encountering more and more copper mechanical life forms, there were no other discoveries.
The one who was the most indignant was probably Sa Ling.
She thought that the interior of the ruins with such obvious traces of artificial construction should be able to produce a lot of human living utensils, as well as ancient human writings.
But the result was no, not at all.
No traces of humans having lived here, whether in the passage or the room.
The team did not stay in one place for too long, and they never forgot the scarecrow on the ground.
They knew that the strong hostility shown by the scarecrow at that time must have chased them to the interior of the underground ruins, so this was a hidden danger that needed to be paid attention to at all times.
If the scarecrow appeared in front of the team, they would definitely do their best to get rid of the scarecrow.
If it weren't for the number of copper mechanical life forms on the ground, they would have had enough reason to kill the scarecrow after it attacked them.
The team continued to move forward and spent most of the day before they found an amazing discovery in a concave corner of the wall.
In a pile of rusty iron filings, there were a few pieces of clothes and shoes, but the most amazing thing was that Law found a missing half of a hunter's license!
"It must have been very desperate when he was alive."
Jin looked at the pile of powder that could be called ashes and could easily imagine what was happening at that time.
It should be … a hunter was forced into this corner by a large number of copper mechanical life forms.
At that time, he must have been in an extremely hopeless situation, unable to call out to the heavens or the earth.
When everyone heard Jin's words, they all showed a trace of awe, and they all imagined the situation at that time.
Law carefully looked at the missing half of the hunter's license.
Unfortunately, the damaged part contained the code on the hunter's license. Otherwise, they could use the code to find out which hunter's license belonged to.
"This license doesn't belong to East Brix, right?"
"It's unlikely."
"Yes. After all, this Hunter's License is too new. Moreover, when Tofuri was still in the Six Continents, perhaps the Hunters' Association hadn't even been established yet."
"Moreover, East Brix has been in the Darkness Continent for several hundred years. How can it possibly be defeated by a bunch of gear monsters?"
"Then this Hunter's License …"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the license in Law's hand that was missing half.
"Bujand's men?"
"Someone from the Association?"
Everyone gave their own guesses.
"It's all possible."
Law handed the hunter's license to Jin and immediately looked at the passage ahead with a thoughtful expression.
The license that was found could connect all the traces that had been discovered previously.
In other words, the vines that were plucked were most likely made by the hunter with the license.
Most of the members in Bujand's team came from the Hunters' Association, so most of them carried a hunter's license.
Needless to say, everyone in the Hunters' Association had a license.
Since a professional hunter was killed here, it meant that Bujand's team was here, or the Hunters' Association team was here. There was even another possibility, which was that both sides were here.
"Do you think the owner of this license is one of Yang De's men or one of the Association?" General Bai asked.
"I don't know."
"It's a pity that the serial number is gone."
Law looked at his teammates and guessed, "No matter which team it is, it's possible that they're still in the ruins. After all, you've seen the situation above."
"If it's Bujand's men, then we …?"
"If it's not necessary, of course, we should try to avoid disputes."
"Agreed."
As long as there was no clear motive and reason, they should avoid a fight if possible.
After all, a meaningless fight would do no good to both sides.
"Let's go, let's keep moving forward."
The team continued to move forward. When the light from the ceiling gap disappeared, they realized that night had fallen.
Dongba had been in a high-intensity reconnaissance circle for a long time, so he was the first person in the team to stop and rest. On the other hand, the others did not bear the pressure of reconnaissance, so their physical strength and energy were good.
"Do you want to rest for half an hour or take lichen?" Dongba looked at Law and asked tiredly.
"Rest."
Law looked at Biscay, who understood and summoned Miss Cookie to give Dongba a massage.
Dongba was straightforward. He lay on the ground and let Miss Cookie massage him.
In less than a moment, he fell into a deep sleep without any sense of crisis. After all, his teammates were nearby.
"Black Cat, go ahead and explore. Don't stay for more than half an hour."
Before Dongba recovered his strength, Law handed over the reconnaissance to Black Cat.
Black Cat accepted the order, turned into a wisp of black smoke, and went forward. Everyone sat or lay down, trying to recover as much strength and telekinesis as possible in this short half an hour.
Twenty minutes later, Black Cat came back.
He turned back to his physical form and said, "I found an entrance to the bottom."
Hearing Black Cat's words, everyone who had closed their eyes opened their eyes almost at the same time.
The second floor …
.....
Creak … Creak …
The masked man was walking down an extremely steep slope, but the way he was walking made it seem like he was walking on flat ground.
He walked very fast, and the speed of the three butterflies flapping their wings seemed slow, but they were firmly following the masked man.
After walking for about ten minutes, they finally reached the end.
In front of the masked man was a thick and heavy stone door!
Whether it was the ruins on the ground or the ruins underground, they all lacked a normal thing, that is, a door.
However, there was a stone door here.
The masked man stopped in front of the stone door, and the frequency and speed of scratching the mask suddenly increased, as if he was excited.
At the same time, a series of obscure syllables came out from under the mask.
"Core energy, core energy …!"
