"Okay, Xiao Te, you take your people and wait up there. We'll go in first to explore the way. Once we understand the situation inside, you can come down to carry out subsequent research and development."
Seeing that Wan Yan was still insisting, Bai Luo stopped trying to persuade her.
After he left these words, he was about to take the other person with him.
"Instructor, please let me go. How can I let you do this kind of thing?"
Hearing that his boss had decided to go down by himself, Clement immediately lost his composure.
In the past, they, the younger brothers, were always the first to rush forward in such matters. How could they let their leaders help them explore the way
"Stop talking nonsense, stabilize the entrance to the ruins first and wait for my signal."
"yes!"
After arranging his subordinates, Bai Luo directly grabbed Wan Yan's hand beside him and pulled her to jump into the entrance of the ruins.
Although there is water vapor in the ruins, it is actually not very deep. Under the white water vapor is a clear spring.
The rushing sound they heard above was the sound of water falling into the clear spring.
"Is this... this the country that Heulia protects?"
With Bai Luo's help, Wan Yan climbed out of the pool. She didn't care about her wet clothes. After wiping the water stains on her glasses with the corner of her clothes, she began to look around.
This relic does not look very big, and in this naturally formed cave, some traces of human activity can still be seen.
However, this is limited to the stone slabs paved on the ground and the stone pillars used to reinforce the caves.
Deep in the cave, you can vaguely see some traces of slime.
"This is just the periphery. The real ruins are still inside."
After making sure that the slime would not pose a threat to him, Bai Luo put away the weapon in his hand and asked.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Wan Yan always feels that Bai Luo seems to have been here before and is very familiar with this place.
As for Bai Luo... ... he could no longer conceal the smile on his face.
Because after entering the ruins, he had triggered a new task in the system.
[Merciful God]
Chapter 634 New Trial, New Career
[Start the Trial-Merciful God]
[There seems to be some unknown truth about the salt in the earth with a long history.]
[Help this merciful God to let her believers know the truth of history.]
[Trial requirements: Help the followers of the Salt God to understand the truth of history.]
[Trial Reward: Occupation - "Merciful King"]
The Merciful King
While Wan Yan had already ignored the threat from the slime and started to explore the situation in the ruins, Bai Luo's mind was completely focused on the reward of the trial.
How to say it
Perhaps the god of this relic is not too aggressive, so the requirements of this trial are very simple, which is to reveal the true situation here and let Wan Yan understand the true events of the salt in the ground.
But isn’t this too simple
Bai Luo only needs to deal with the monsters encountered along the way, and then tell her the truth little by little.
There aren't even any additional requirements.
For example, making Wanyan accept this fact, or preventing her from having a mental breakdown.
He didn't believe that his system would be so "merciful".
Wait a minute... "mercy"
Thinking of this, Bai Luo was stunned for a moment, because he suddenly realized that the so-called kindness was in double quotation marks.
In other words, the professions rewarded by the system are most likely to have nothing to do with the word "kindness".
So the question is, since Bai Luo has already obtained the Void Tyrant, what other king-related professions can he get
The first person Bai Luo thought of was the oldest king in human history—Gilgamesh.
He was arrogant and domineering, and he always thought highly of himself. He once said, "What's the point of being a king if I'm not arrogant?" He was a tyrant who had nothing to do with kindness.
Most importantly, with all the wealth in the world, his favorite thing to do is to have fun.
This seems... ...very similar to Bai Luo's personality.
Or it could be said that it was a career tailor-made for Bai Luo.
But
Would the system really be so kind as to give him such a powerful hero
Speaking of which, there seems to be another king who can be called a tyrant.
Or the emperor.
hiss
Shit, this damn system, is it going to force him to have that career
My goodness, is it too late for him to regret now
"Is this... salt crystal?"
Ignoring Bai Luo who was thinking about something, Wan Yan carefully avoided the slimes, adjusted her glasses, bent down to touch the lens on the ground, and spoke.
After all, Wan Yan was just an ordinary person. After being soaked in cold water, in this cave without sunlight, her body was actually shaking slightly.
That's right, elemental creatures like slime will only appear in places with abundant elemental energy. Since ice slime appears here, it proves that this place is even colder than Bai Luo imagined.
"Ms. Wanyan seems to understand these things very well."
Bai Luo, whose mind had already shifted away from the trial rewards, looked at Wan Yan who was squatting on the ground and said this seemingly nonchalantly.
"As a believer of the Salt God, it is only natural that you have some understanding of these things, right?"
For some reason, Wan Yan was a little flustered after Bai Luo asked this question.
She folded her arms and quietly moved to the side.
"I'm just asking, don't be so nervous."
Bai Luo still had that smiling expression on his face, with a somewhat kind look, and even gave people a feeling of being bathed in sunshine.
"I... I'm not nervous, I'm just a little cold."
Wanyan rubbed her arms, realizing that she was a little too nervous, and cleverly used the environment to excuse herself.
She was also a little weird.
Ming Luo clearly jumped down with her, so why did his clothes dry so quickly
It’s not that Bai Luo secretly changed his outfit without telling him, everything is related to the clothes Bai Luo is wearing.
Just like the weapons have become exclusive, Bai Luo's windbreaker and tights have also inherited the character's attributes to a certain extent.
This kind of bulletproof, fireproof and waterproof clothing will not get completely wet unless it is soaked in water for a long time.
"Let's go. Now that we have salt crystals, it means we are not far from our destination."
After putting away the smile on his face, Bai Luo took the initiative to walk to the front and began to lead the way.
If nothing unexpected happens, there should be monsters lurking in this ruin.
Although we are both original demons, we cannot be merciful at this time.
If Wan Yan died at the hands of those monsters, resulting in his failure in the trial, then
Um, wait a minute
If the reward for the trial is really as Bai Luo imagined, that is, a [forbidden] profession, then isn't this a way of escape
Thinking of this, there was a hint of hostility in his eyes when he looked at Wan Yan.
However, this unkindness did not last long, as he decided to see what the reward was first.
What if the system really gave him a Hero King because of his hard work? Wouldn’t he have missed out on a powerful profession
Wan Yan didn't know that she had just walked on the brink of life and death. Her attention was completely attracted by the situation in the ruins.
"This... this light is still on. It's a miracle! This is definitely a miracle!"
Stepping on the salt crystals, Wan Yan walked past Bai Luo with a little excitement, and came to a candlestick that looked very old but still lit with twinkling lights, and stretched out her hand carefully.
Compared to her, Bai Luo was much calmer.
At the same time, he silently pulled out the dagger from his waist.
"Aren't you an archaeologist? How come you don't know this little common sense? Isn't it very common for ruins to light up?"
Bai Luo complained aloud as he protected Wan Yan at a perfect angle.
In fact, the appearance of such lights in the ruins not only indicates that there is sufficient oxygen here, but also represents the existence of intelligent creatures who can use fire.
Sure enough, the rewards for this profession are not that easy to get.
"Usually, for things like this, adventurers go first, and then we archaeologists come in. How would we know about this?"
Wan Yan realized something and immediately put away her curious expression and told a lie very naturally.
However, the little light from the fire still made her body, which was soaked in spring water, feel a little warmth.
She looked around and saw something like a wooden box at the end of the light.
Although she didn't know what was inside, Wan Yan decided to take it apart, make a fire temporarily, and dry her clothes first.
It's very uncomfortable to be wet all over like this.
But when she walked out of the range of the light, she noticed that there seemed to be a human-like existence in the shadows.
Wan Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately covered her mouth as she was about to scream.
She turned her head quietly, looked at Bai Luo who seemed not to notice her, and tiptoed towards the human figure.
Because she felt that the human figure was not a real person, but should be something like a stone statue.
This may be helpful to her research.
But when she really got close to those humanoid figures, their expressions, which were completely covered in salt crystals but still conveyed to the world what "fear" was, finally made her completely unable to hold back.
Her screams echoed throughout the ruins.
Chapter 634 Salt Flower
Wanyan's voice is bound to disturb whatever may exist in the ruins.
But Bai Luo didn't make things difficult for her.
Because his eyesight is much better than that of normal people, he actually knew where the [statue] was from the beginning, and he also knew that she would be scared.
Even the so-called not noticing her was just a pretend.
After all, Bai Luo is an executive, how could he make such a small mistake
"Don't be afraid, he's not alive."
Using the things at hand to make a simple torch, Bai Luo walked over to Wan Yan who was lying on the ground and helped her up.
"What...what is this? A statue?"
Looking at the human figure covered with salt crystals, Wan Yan hid behind Bai Luo and asked tremblingly.
What she was afraid of was not the corpse, but the slightly hideous face in the darkness, which scared her.
With a source of fire, she plucked up the courage to walk out and began to closely observe the human figure that seemed to be praying for something.
Adjusting her glasses and carefully observing the human-shaped statue, Wan Yan discovered that the texture of the salt crystals here was much better than those outside.
The lenses are attached to the statue, forming flower-like shapes, like salt flowers.
"How should I put it... This thing has something to do with Heulia, the goddess of salt."
