While Richard was observing, the long-haired woman Jasmine and her group also walked out of the corridor.
Looking up at the stone wall, Jasmine said: "This is the entrance to the ruins. We tried for a long time and found that there was only one seal that couldn't be opened. We had no choice but to ask you for cooperation. I hope what you said before is true, Don’t let this adventure fail before it even begins... otherwise, it will be an absolute joke.”
"Don't worry, I don't want this to happen any more than you do." Richard said.
"That's good, take out your seal. Have you seen those two small holes? Just insert them separately. I will handle the rest." Jasmine said.
"Okay." Richard didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and took out two seals, one red and one blue, walked to the stone wall and inserted them into the two small holes respectively.
After inserting it, twist it and hear a "click" sound. The stone wall vibrates violently, a crack appears in the middle, and it slowly opens like a huge stone door.
The gap is getting bigger bit by bit, but the speed is very slow. It is expected to take dozens of minutes before the stone door can be fully opened.
"Buzz buzz!"
"Kakaka!"
Jasmine looked at it, blinked, and pointed her finger forward. The healed wound on her fingertip burst, and drops of thick red blood flew out and landed on the stone wall.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was an explosion-like sound from inside the stone wall, and a large number of stone chips fell off the surface of the stone wall.
With two "swishes" sounds, the two seals inserted into the stone wall popped out and were put away by Richard. Then the entire stone wall flashed with a blue-purple light, as if the rusty iron door was coated with lubricant, and the opening speed suddenly accelerated. In just over ten seconds, the stone door opened completely, revealing an entrance about ten meters high and twelve meters wide.
Looking inside from outside the entrance, you can see that the interior is filled with darkness, like a haze that can obscure your vision. The night vision ability generated by the spell is limited and cannot see too far, giving people a heavy and mysterious feeling.
This looks a bit familiar... It feels like I'm back in my hometown... Richard looked at it and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jasmine spoke up at this time: "It seems that you are not among the liars - two seals can really open this ancient ruins."
"Of course." Richard chuckled, looked at Jasmine, and invited, "Then, let's go in together now and start exploring?"
"Don't be anxious!" Jasmine's eyes suddenly became serious and she said in a deep voice, "The ancient ruins are different from other places. They are the 'wrecks' left by the ancient wizard civilization. Although the 'wrecks' in front of us are nominally dead , but because of the unimaginable power we possessed during our lifetime, there is still danger.
I can confirm that although you have the seal in your hand and know the key to opening the ruins, you don't know the details of the ruins. I am different. Before I came here, I had a lot of information and a full understanding of the ruins. Now, I may not guarantee that I know the percentage of ruins, but at least I know how to do things safely and how to do things dangerously. "
"So!" Jasmine took a deep breath, looked at Richard, and said half-ordering, half-pleading, "I hope that during the next process of exploring the ruins, you can obey the command and act with me and my companions. , so as not to cause any danger. After all, we are in the same camp now. If there is any danger, we need to bear it together. "
"Follow your command? Of course." Richard said loudly, agreeing easily and not seeming to have any dissatisfaction.
In fact, he did not have any dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, exploring ancient ruins in the current world is similar to playing online games on earth and completing dungeons - no matter what the process is, as long as you can clear the level, you will receive rewards.
In this case, you can choose to follow the command, paddle, fish and pass easily. Why do you have to study the strategy and work hard to clear the level by yourself? He is not the kind of person who would knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach just to save face and look cool.
Jasmine was slightly startled after hearing this, narrowed her eyes and said, "I thought... you would refuse."
"I'm not as proud as you think. If you really have enough information, it will be the safest way for me to follow your instructions. In fact, this is one of the reasons why I cooperate with you. However, having said that Come back, I hope your information is really accurate. If your information keeps making mistakes after entering the ruins, then don’t expect me to blindly trust you." Richard said slowly.
"Don't worry, the accuracy of the information in my hand will definitely exceed your imagination." After hearing this, Jasmine said slightly proudly, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have such confidence to explore this place. Okay, enough nonsense. I said, go in."
"good."
Richard nodded and walked into the entrance with Jasmine and others.
…
Stepping into the entrance, darkness like haze rolled in and wrapped around everyone.
Richard turned on the night vision function of Dark Vision to the extreme, and found that he could only see a few dozen meters. He turned around and glanced at Jasmine and the others, and found that they were scanning the surroundings vigilantly and moving forward cautiously. They were obviously in the same situation as him.
This ancient ruins is indeed no ordinary place... Richard thought to himself, walking slowly with Jasmine and walking hundreds of meters, he saw a collapsed building in front of him.
The building collapsed so completely that except for the foundation, no trace of the original building could be seen.
However, based on the scattered stones and broken stone pillars, Richard vaguely guessed the former style of these buildings: Not surprisingly, they should be biased towards the more exquisite Baroque and Gothic styles, but there are also rough Roman styles mixed in. It seems that ancient times The culture of wizard civilization is relatively tolerant and open...
Thinking of this, Jasmine, who was walking on the right, suddenly whispered a reminder and pointed forward: "Be careful of the black sand."
"Huh?" Richard heard the sound and looked in the direction Jasmine was pointing. He saw a large area of dark black sand spread over a collapsed building more than thirty meters away. The color was deeper than darkness, like a black hole. If you look at it for a long time, it seems like it can suck away people's souls.
"What is that?" Richard asked aloud.
"You can simply call it black poisonous sand. They are very poisonous. Once they get close to a certain distance, they will cause serious damage to the body without touching them. They cannot be removed with magic, so the further away from him, the better. Jasmine said seriously, giving advice, "Let's go around it from the left and continue moving forward. If something similar happens on the road, be sure to avoid it and don't get close. Otherwise, don't blame me if there are any adverse consequences. No reminder.”
"Is that so..." Richard didn't say anything after hearing this. He followed Jasmine around the black sand and walked forward. He thought silently in his heart: When he leaves after exploring the ruins, he must collect some if he has the opportunity to go back and study it. What are the ingredients? After all, there are not many materials with such unique effects...
