Stepping forward, the eyes suddenly opened up. Before they looked, a small hill on a gravel beach was gone now. Like two worlds, what appeared in front of them now was a shallow pond.
The pond is very shallow, and it is estimated that only the insteps can be submerged. However, the degree of reflection of the water color is clearer than that of the falling star sea outside.
The starry sky overhead is perfectly projected on this pond with a radius of several hundred meters.
When Angel stepped into the pond, it was as if he was really stepping on the sea of stars. The ripples set off by each step are shattering the rippling stars.
A circle of ripples has been connected to the side of the pond.
A small pavilion similar to the star-gazing pavilion stands above the sea of stars. The pavilion has no walls, only twelve thin pillars propped up, looking in through the gaps in the thin pillars carved with magic patterns, you can see several figures, standing still in the pavilion.
Among them, Rhine was in the center of the pavilion, and Sanders was standing on the edge of the pavilion. At this time, he was turning his head sideways, and his deep eyes looked over, and the starry sky above his head was reflected in his eyes, shining abnormally.
"You're here." Sanders didn't ask anything else, nodded lightly, and introduced Angel into the pavilion.
It was not very clear from the outside before, but when I came to this pavilion, I found that the inside of the pavilion was extraordinarily luxurious, with star patterns engraved everywhere, a kind of extravagant romance of an ancient astrologer.
In addition to Sanders and Rhine, there are two wizards in the pavilion. "Fire Walker" Ferro and "Necro Redemption" Nice, both of whom Angel has come into contact with, the former is the resident wizard of the city that used to sleepless, the latter is Sanders' best friend.
Although Angel knew him, he changed his appearance at this time and did not appear to be familiar. He just nodded lightly to the two of them, a polite greeting based on the premise of being unfamiliar.
Although Ferro and Nice didn't know who the red-haired man in front of them was, Sanders had high hopes for him. The tree spirit accompanied him, and even Rhine greeted him with a smile. They're pretty much the same, but there's definitely something special about them.
"This is the companion I invited to solve the mystery of the creatures in the nightmare world with me. I won't say more polite words, let's go straight to the topic." After Sanders finished speaking, he looked at Rhine: "I need to clear the field. ."
Rhine: "Clear? One or all?"
"All." Sanders said without hesitation.
Before Rhine could answer, Nice interjected first: "Old man, do you really want to clear the scene? I'm still thinking of seeing how you show off your power."
As Nice said, he put his hand on Sanders' shoulder. Sanders gently shook the hand of the little old man Nice: "To clear the field, the two of us are enough."
Nice frowned: "Then you don't have to clear all of them. If there are no people in the three observation booths, they are likely to attack."
"Even if it is really attacked, it will be difficult to defend with the current number of people in Xingchi. There are more people, there is no difference with a few people." Sanders hit the nail on the head, and what he said was indeed correct. There are a total of three observation booths, each of which has a powerful wizard sitting on it, saying that it is to suppress monsters, but in fact it does not have much effect.
If all the monsters in the ruins are moving, no matter how many people should run, they should run.
Their bigger role now is actually to warn each other to prevent some missed monsters from escaping from different directions. Also, observe the eruption frequency of live lines and parasites.
"That's what I said, but it's better to have more people..." Nice muttered in a low voice, but since Sanders had already made up his mind, he knew it was impossible for him to refute it.
And Nice noticed that Rhine had begun to voice the guarding wizards of the other two observation booths and asked them to leave temporarily, and it was useless for Nice to object.
As for the other "Fire Walker" Ferro, he had no objection at all. He had seen how Sanders was killed from the occupied Sleepless City. It can be said that the people present knew the most about those monsters. Man, that's Sanders. If he can't say no, others can't.
When the Rhine was transmitting, Angel also looked at the two pavilions in the distance. One is located in the southeast, the other is located in the northeast, and the pavilions in the due west where they are located, just form a triangle.
The guarding wizards in the other two pavilions are "White Old Man" Wallace, and... a silver-haired old lady with a very kind smile.
The silver-haired old lady seemed to sense Angel's gaze and looked over with a smile. Holding a cup of flower tea in his hand, he salutes Angel from afar.
"Tiejia mother-in-law..." Angel silently recited her name in his heart.
Angel did not expect that the iron-clad mother-in-law would also come to guard the ruins. He remembered hearing someone say that Granny Tiejia had not left the source of flow for many years. Even she has appeared now, which seems to mean that the ruins have reached an extremely dangerous level.
While Angel was pondering uncertainly, Rhine said to Sanders, "I have already told them that they will leave now."
Rhine paused for a while, and his face became very solemn: "Wait a minute, I will also leave. After I leave, you must be more careful. Never be too big, and don't break into the ruins at will... Even if you really want to break in, you must be careful. Don't take him in."
Sanders nodded strangely, and he could hear that Rhine was worried about what happened to Angel here. However, Sanders is very clear that even if he dies, Angel will probably live well.
The group of nightmare creatures have natural class barriers, even if Yorkshire, who had threatened Angel in Sleepless City, would not dare to do anything to Angel.
However, Sanders knows that he knows, and he can't really say this. He nodded, "I understand."
Rhine looked at Sanders, and then at the lazy red-haired man beside him. He took a deep breath: "You must pay attention to safety and be cautious. Even if you don't find anything, don't rush in. ."
Rhine gave one last word, and left the Ruins Star Pool with Ferro and Nice.
Sanders walked to Angel's side: "What are you thinking?"
Angel subconsciously said what was in his heart: "I didn't expect that the iron-clad mother-in-law was here."
Sanders: "That's just a clone of the iron-clad mother-in-law."
Doppelganger? Angel looked at Sanders suspiciously. He didn't see anything different just now.
"That is one of her original techniques. It is both a clone and a real body. At this time, it is the clone that suppresses the ruins, and the real body remains in the source of flow. However, when a crisis is really discovered, the clone and the real body can be Convert at any time." Saunders said at this time, a little envy flashed in his eyes.
This method of the iron-clad mother-in-law is equivalent to having multiple lives. As long as there is a clone that does not die, then she can never be completely defeated.
Angel nodded in understanding, it turned out to be an original clone technique. The real body and the clone can be transformed into each other, no wonder he can't see the clue at all.
Angel: "Mother-in-law seemed to recognize me just now."
Sanders: "This is normal. The strength of the iron-clad mother-in-law is far beyond your imagination. Let me not talk about this, let me show you the ruins first."
Sandston paused: "However, there is one more thing before that."
Sanders turned to look at the corner of the observation pavilion. The naked tree spirit was standing in the shadows, a self-deception that I didn't exist.
Sanders said nothing, but the Dryad understood what he meant.
"Really leaving? I'm not spying or anything, I'm just…"
Sanders' eyes have not changed, and he is still very determined.
The dryad lowered his shoulders in frustration: "Okay, okay."
While muttering, the tree spirit walked helplessly towards the outside of the ruins.
