Five seconds, seven seconds, nine seconds...
Jasmine didn't speak, and the group continued to wait. After waiting for more than ten seconds, Richard couldn't help but speak out, breaking the increasingly weird atmosphere.
Maintaining the "First Armor" defense state, turning his head to look at Jasmine, Richard said: "It seems there is no energy storm as you mentioned."
"There is indeed no energy storm." Jasmine responded with a straight face, her tone was a bit cold, "It may be that there are some errors in the intelligence, or it may be that too much time has passed, and some things in this ruins have changed."
"Then what to do next? We can't just stand here and wait for the energy storm to come, right?" Richard spread his hands.
"Of course not." Jasmine continued with a straight face, "But we can't let down our guard. Just now, I could sense that we were close enough to cause some changes in this area. So, what will happen next? With every step you take, the chance of triggering an energy storm will skyrocket, and you must always be prepared for defense."
"Okay." Richard nodded in agreement.
"Follow me." Jasmine said, taking the fourth step solemnly.
The expected terrifying energy storm still did not appear after the steps fell, and the surroundings were still calm.
Jasmine's face was as dark as water, and she took the fifth step with some disbelief.
Then step six, step seven, step eight...
Finally, under the leadership of Jasmine, the group took dozens of steps until they reached the open space surrounded by eight stone pillars. There was no sign of any energy storm.
this…
After Jasmine stepped into the "Eight Stone Pillar Space", she stopped and glanced around, looking a little uncertain. The reason for this was partly because he was upset about losing face, and the other half was because he was worried because the intelligence was wrong and he was not sure what would happen next.
After seeing this situation, the subordinates around Jasmine all lowered their heads and looked at their toes carefully, fearing to make eye contact with Jasmine.
Richard didn't have such fear, after all, Jasmine was not his captain. He glanced at Jasmine and asked, "Is it worse if no energy storm appears than if there is an energy storm?"
"No." Jasmine adjusted her mentality, shook her head and answered, "The energy storm did not appear, which means that the information I have is no longer 100% accurate, which is indeed a bad thing.
But from another perspective, we don't have to defend against energy storms, which saves a lot of effort. In this way, we can easily get a magic item from this place - which is an unexpected surprise. "
"What an unexpected surprise? Can you easily get a magic item here?" After hearing this, Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the stone platform not far away that was wrapped in black air, and said, "You are talking about the one above Something left there, right?”
"Yes, it's the thing on top." Jasmine said calmly, "I won't lie to you either. It is very important to us and is the main purpose of exploring the ruins for us. If possible, I hope you can put it Give it to me and I’ll compensate you with something else.”
After hearing this, Richard smiled slightly. He did not answer Jasmine's words directly, but asked: "What is it about the things on top that you value so much?"
"You'll know right away," Jasmine said, walking towards the stone platform.
Walking close to the stone platform, he waved his hand and the air flowed, blowing away the diffuse black air, revealing the surface of the stone platform clearly.
After that, Jasmine lowered her right hand and was about to pick up something. Suddenly her whole body froze and she yelled a little awkwardly: "This is impossible!"
"What's wrong, captain?" After hearing Jasmine's words, Su reacted the fastest. He stepped on one foot and flew to Jasmine's side. He followed Jasmine's eyes and looked at the surface of the stone platform. The next moment, he yelled out in the same manner: "This impossible!"
"What's going on?" The others were extremely confused and gathered around Jasmine. Then, as if they had agreed, they shouted one after another, "This is impossible!"
Even the elderly and stable white-haired old man Xizhe shouted in disbelief: "This... this is impossible!"
His face was obscured by the mask, but his mood could be clearly sensed from his violently shaking body.
What is this
Richard frowned and took the last step to approach the stone platform. Looking at the surface of the stone platform, I saw that it was also covered with lines, and there was a depression in the middle where the lines converged. It looks like there should be something the size of a baby's fist placed in the depression. Judging from the shape, it looks like a round seal.
The only problem is, the recess is now empty—empty—and the stuff that’s supposed to be in it, isn’t there.
"The thing is not there, that thing is not there..." Jasmine said repeatedly, with a panicked expression on her face for the first time, as if something she had always relied on suddenly disappeared.
"What on earth is it?" Richard asked.
Jasmine glanced over, hesitated, and said, "Since it's no longer here, it doesn't hurt to tell you. That thing is called an energy furnace."
"Energy furnace?"
"Yes, the energy furnace. It is an energy source preserved by the ancient wizard civilization. It is small in size, has poor energy supply efficiency, and puts a heavy burden on the body. It is far from being a precious item of the ancient wizard civilization. But the same Things like this can already be regarded as top-notch magic props in this day and age.
Looking at it from the perspective of the current era, once a person can merge with the energy furnace, the energy furnace can continuously and spontaneously absorb energy from the void, transform it into pure energy, and supply it to him infinitely, allowing him to release all kinds of energy at will. Spells. In other words, with the energy furnace, a wizard no longer has to worry about running out of mana.
It is true that a weak wizard with endless mana is still no match for a powerful wizard. Although the effect of the energy furnace is amazing, it is not invincible. However, having said that, under certain special circumstances, it is really important and has the effect of reversing the situation of the battle. When we do something, we must get the support of this thing, so we explore this ruins. "
At the end, Jasmine's voice became a little deeper, and she couldn't help but said angrily: "Who knew that after so much effort, it was all in vain. The long-awaited thing was actually taken away in advance, damn it! "
Richard looked at Jasmine's slightly distorted expression, opened and closed his mouth, but said nothing. He really didn't know how to comfort her.
"If you let me know who took away the energy furnace, I will definitely kill him!" Jasmine cursed, and all the subordinates nearby agreed, looking like they were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to tear the hateful "thief" to pieces. part.
Richard blinked, looking at Jasmine and her group, a thought suddenly came to his mind, that was the weak prophecy ability at work.
"Maybe the person who took away the energy furnace was not a human being." Richard said the next moment.
"Huh? What do you mean?" As soon as the words came out, everyone looked over.
