Swish, swish!
White ghosts moved forward one after another. Most of them were in the shape of wild beasts, and occasionally they had the shape of humans. No matter whether it was trees or rocks, they could not stop their progress.
They moved silently, passing through the woods and rocks, and appeared on the other side of the trees and rocks, all heading in the same direction.
It was as if something was calling them in that direction.
"Ghosts, and there are so many of them?"
Gray's scalp felt numb and his back felt cold.
Since the last time he met a ghost and learned about its weaknesses, Gray no longer has much fear of ghosts.
They are just alien life forms formed after the death of humans or animals. With his current strength, holding a lightning magic sword that can restrain ghosts, he is sure to kill even hundreds of ghosts.
But at this time, the ghosts in his sight were not hundreds, not thousands, but tens of thousands, maybe even more than 100,000.
Even if he kills until his hands are weak and kills for days and nights, he still can't finish the killing.
"What on earth is going on? How come there are so many ghosts? Don't ghosts need special circumstances to form?"
According to Sophia and the records about ghosts he saw in some books of the Sidney family, ghosts are special life forms that form under certain extremely special circumstances.
They rarely appear, and if they do appear, the number is not too large, but now there are tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 ghosts appearing.
"Could it be that there is a huge environment around here that can produce ghosts?"
Gray guessed in horror.
If there is a huge ghost-producing environment nearby, and there are many beasts in the night forest, it would make sense for so many ghosts to appear.
"These ghosts are obviously converging in one direction. What exactly is in that direction?"
Gray tried his best to look in the direction where the ghosts gathered, but the distance was too far, and even with his eyesight, it was difficult to see clearly what was in that direction.
"Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Tens of thousands of ghosts are gathering in one direction, which is extremely strange and may contain great danger.
However, when encountering such a thing, he was extremely unwilling to not investigate it.
Danger and opportunity sometimes coexist. When encountering danger, you may also encounter opportunities.
"Follow us and take a look. Once you find danger, retreat immediately!"
With a decision in his mind, Gray slid down from the top of the rock, put away the tent, put the Mori Ape into the rune space bag, and walked carefully towards the direction where the ghosts gathered.
As he walked in that direction, he inevitably encountered ghosts.
A five-meter-long ghost that should have been a mad-level blood beast appeared.
Sonorous!
Gray quickly pulled out the magic sword and was on guard.
Once the opponent attacks him, he will immediately activate the thunder and lightning of the magic weapon to kill the opponent.
However, what surprised him was that the huge ghost seemed to not see him, and continued to move forward at a constant speed.
Without taking back the sword in his hand, Gray continued to move forward with the sword in his hand.
As he moved forward, he encountered more and more ghosts, all kinds of ghosts. Among them, Gray even saw the ghost of a huge barbarian-level blood beast.
Without exception, they all ignored him and walked in one direction numbly.
Keep your distance from these ghosts and follow them.
More than half an hour later, the woods suddenly disappeared, and the terrain ahead was empty.
This is a rocky terrain, extremely empty, with rocks scattered here and there. Apart from rocks and rocks, there are very few trees to be seen.
The direction the ghost is traveling is towards the center of the rocky terrain.
After traveling some distance, Gray's eyes suddenly shrank.
A huge building emitting hazy white light appeared.
It seemed to be a huge palace.
Inside, there are buildings one after another, made of unknown materials, rough and simple, exuding a hazy white light, extremely majestic and spectacular.
The tallest building among them is a hundred meters high and is located in the center of the palace. It is a huge altar-like building.
At this time, the ghosts gathering like a tide were rushing towards the palace that was emitting white light.
They approached from four directions, came into contact with the palace walls, and then, visible to the naked eye, their bodies disappeared outside the palace, as if they had passed through the palace, and seemed to be integrated into the palace.
Like moths to the flame, one after another.
"What on earth is this place? Is it an imperial ruin?"
Gray's first thought was of relics from the Imperial period.
During the empire period, this continent was the most glorious period. During that period, there was a being above the king level, and his achievements in runes, weapon refining, medicine refining and other conveniences were also higher than now.
Occasionally, rune puppets are unearthed from the ruins of the empire and have extraordinary combat power. According to rumors, there are even rune puppets with king-level combat power.
There have been many powerful and strange magic weapons. There are rumors that there have been silver-level magic weapons that are above bronze. It is said that such weapons can even increase a person's combat power by a large level. .
As for potions that are difficult to preserve, such as magic potions, they rarely appear. The few times they appear, magic potions with effects that far exceed the current level of medicine refining have appeared. There was even a bottle of magic potion that killed a wild-blood warrior. Became a king-level warrior.
"No, this style doesn't look like a relic from the imperial period."
After looking at it from a distance, Gray shook his head slightly.
So far, he has come into contact with three imperial ruins. In addition, he has read many books about imperial ruins in the Sidney family. He has a very deep understanding of the style of imperial ruins.
The architecture of the imperial ruins is very exquisite and full of artistry, but the building in front of you is extremely rough and simple. It pays more attention to the whole and is majestic. The architectural style and the imperial ruins can be said to be two extremes.
"And it's not like the architectural styles of the four kingdoms. What era is this building from? Is it a building from an era older than the empire?"
It is not the architectural style of the Four Kingdoms, nor is it the architectural style of the Empire period before the Four Kingdoms, then it can only be an architectural style older than the Empire period.
Only this kind of guess can be reasonable.
"That's the entrance?"
On the side of the building facing Gray, there is an arched passage more than 50 meters high and 30 meters wide, which is shining with a faint white light.
After struggling to avoid the ghost, Gray came to the arched passage.
Looking inside, I saw a deep passage.
The walls around the passage exude a hazy white light, dim and deep.
After a slight hesitation, he carefully walked into the passage, his body tense at all times, ready to exit immediately if he realized something was wrong.
boom!
However, as soon as he took a step forward, he was suddenly startled and retreated several dozen meters away.
"what happened?"
A few dozen meters away, after confirming that nothing unusual had occurred, Gray showed a trace of suspicion.
Just now, he felt as if he had hit a wall, so he retreated without hesitation.
After waiting for a while and confirming that nothing abnormal happened, Gray moved forward and came to the entrance of the passage again.
He stretched out his hand and touched forward.
Snapped!
Ahead, his hand encountered an obstacle, as if stroking an extremely smooth wall, but it was clear that there was nothing in front of him.
"Invisible wall?"
Gray retreated dozens of meters away again, his eyes narrowed slightly.
At the entrance of this passage, there should be an invisible wall blocking the entrance.
"I wonder if it can be broken?"
The building in front of him was very mysterious. Gray wanted to go in and investigate to see if he could gain anything, but the existence of invisible walls blocked him from the outside.
Swish—
It was obviously impossible to give up like this, so he stepped back a little, and Gray slashed towards the entrance with an ice wind blade.
I saw the green wind blade, turning into a green light, slashing towards the entrance of the building, but the next moment, as it approached the entrance, it mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
There was no loud noise of hitting a hard object, and there was no cold air, as if it suddenly disappeared.
"Disappeared?!"
Gray's pupils shrank, and instead of blocking the ice wind blade, he made the ice wind blade disappear.
Swish, swish, swish!
A trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and he used his blood beast ability with all his strength. Dozens of ice wind blades were shot out from in front of Gray, and they all shot toward the entrance.
The next moment, a similar scene appeared. Dozens of ice wind blades disappeared together, leaving no trace of movement behind.
"With my current strength, I can't break through this invisible wall!"
Seeing this scene, Gray frowned.
Even with his strongest blood beast ability, it disappeared without causing any ripples. If he wanted to break this invisible wall, he would never be able to do it with his strength.
“I wonder if there are populations elsewhere!”
He avoided ghosts and walked around the huge building. After half an hour, he completed a circle around the huge building.
Except for the initially discovered entrance, there are towering walls in other places that are fifty or sixty meters high, with no entrance at all.
He tried to climb the high wall, but found that there was also an invisible smooth "wall" near the high wall.
"What exactly is inside this building, and why are these ghosts crashing into this building one after another?"
The ghosts are still like moths flying into the flame, crashing into buildings one after another. Once they touch the building, these ghosts will suddenly disappear. It is not known whether they disappeared completely or entered the building.
"Well, the light from the building seems to be brighter than before!"
Gray stared at the building and thought. Suddenly, his expression changed.
The current building was obviously brighter than when he first saw it.
If the light of the building was like the moonlight on a cloudy day before, then now it is like the moonlight on a sunny day.
