Benjamin took a small bag and put away the six forbidden spells. Then, he turned his attention to the three people in front of him again.
"How about it, do you have anything else to ask? If not, please feel free to ask."
Selfishly, he even wanted to drive these three people out and stop them from walking around in the ruins he opened. However, he knew very well that in the current situation, it would be difficult for him to have this place to himself. Therefore, he is still more inclined to continue exploring by himself, to get ahead of others, and to get as many benefits as possible.
"Will you continue to explore here?" Tony asked.
Benjamin nodded and said calmly: "This is a ruin that I opened with my own hands. Regardless of whether I gain anything or not, I will definitely explore it myself."
"That's it... Then we'd better go explore somewhere else first and won't disturb you." Tony obviously noticed Benjamin's dissatisfaction, smiled awkwardly, and said, "If you find something that you can't understand, You can also tell us. Please believe that the Master Freemasonry is working for the benefit of the Masters all over the world, and we will help every Master."
Benjamin took a deep breath and smiled: "I understand."
In this way, Master Freemasonry is not overbearing in its actions. Perhaps their boss is not around yet, and there are only three young mages, so their posture is quite sensible. After taking the stone slab, they left this place similar to a meeting hall and went exploring without knowing where.
Benjamin stayed in this building and stepped up his actions.
He is confident in his judgment. This is the center of the entire underground city and the place where all the residents of the city lay dead. If something can really be discovered, it will definitely be discovered from here. If you look elsewhere, you probably won't find much.
Passing through several dilapidated corridors, he continued walking deeper into the building.
The center here is a hall, the seats are weathered and dilapidated, and the ceiling is so rotten that there are gaps. Benjamin looked up, looked carefully, and found another mural on the ceiling. However, the mural was peeling off badly, and the only part Benjamin could see clearly was a man burning a stone with fire.
After thinking about it, he flew up, got closer to the mural, and looked at it more carefully.
Upon closer inspection, the burned stone looked very similar to the green stone. At the same time, the other hand of the person in the painting is raised above the stone. In an exaggerated painting style, a few drops of red ** drip out of the hand and fall on the stone.
Benjamin mused.
… Is this how to use that kind of stone
While burning it with fire, he dripped his own blood on it. Benjamin kept these in mind. He then used a water balloon technique to completely destroy the mural so that no one else could see it. Then, he fell back to the ground, ready to go back and try this method himself.
After searching around here again and finding nothing, Benjamin planned to leave. However, the moment he turned around, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He paid more attention and scanned the entire hall with the water element induction method.
And under this sweep, Benjamin quickly discovered something was wrong.
The seat under a seat on the right side of the hall is empty!
Surprised, he quickly walked over and knocked on that piece of ground. There is no doubt that there is something wrong with this place. As for whether it is a hidden compartment or a secret passage hidden underneath, we can only wait until he finds it out.
However, it probably took too long and the mechanism failed. Benjamin had no choice but to use an ice-breaking technique to forcefully blast away the ground. Then, a deep tunnel appeared.
Seeing this, Benjamin hesitated for a moment and then walked in.
He turned on the water element induction method all the way, and he encountered no danger. The tunnel was not long. In less than half a minute, he walked out of the tunnel and came to a place like a small dark room.
Here, Benjamin discovers a body.
"This is… "
Unlike the skeletons piled outside, it can be seen that this corpse does not exist in the same era as them. The corpses outside had only bones left, but here, the corpses were still in a semi-mummy state and had not been completely weathered.
Therefore, Benjamin was quite surprised when he sensed this scene through the water element.
This man is not the original resident of this underground city. Who is he
Could it be that... there have never been other explorers here
Thinking of this, the doubts in his heart only increased.
If there were previous explorers, why was this city not discovered again by Benjamin until now? Did this person die here after coming in? Who sealed the entrance to the cave? Why did he die in a darkroom under the council chamber
Benjamin suddenly felt something was wrong.
This explorer... what was he killed by
After observing for a while, Benjamin did not find any wounds on his body. Maybe the scars had disappeared due to the ravages of time, or maybe the man did not die from injuries. Benjamin had never studied forensic medicine and could not verify any results.
However, he still had a bad premonition.
There was a small bag next to the corpse, which contained several broken books. Benjamin didn't think much, put the book away, turned around and left the darkroom, which made him feel a little dangerous, without even looking at it.
Explorers once died here, which shows that this place is not as simple as an empty city.
Here... there is probably something else that could kill someone.
Suddenly he didn't want to stay here any longer.
After leaving the meeting hall, flying over the mountains of bones, Benjamin returned to the streets of the ruins. The street was as calm as before, and the three people didn't know where to explore. Only the statues were walking around numbly.
Looking at this scene, somehow, Benjamin's uneasiness became even stronger.
He picked up a few more green-glowing stones, and after putting them away, he flew up and returned to the entrance where he came in. As he walked in from the entrance, the green light in his eyes gradually faded, and everything returned to darkness. In this way, he quickly walked out along the cave he came in from.
Ten minutes later, he reached the end.
Suddenly, Benjamin was stunned.
In his memory, what was supposed to be an opening in the mountain wall now turned into a dead end. He stretched out his hand and touched the extremely hard stone wall in front of him. The rough and solid touch was so real that he thought he was hallucinating again.
Is he trapped here
Expand the water element induction method, the other side of the stone wall is still a stone wall with no exit.
But... how could it be
What's blocking the exit
In shock, he took out the parchment again and slapped it hard. Unfortunately, the parchment did not emit a green light, nor did the stone wall crack open with a roar, revealing the exit.
Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
There is indeed something wrong with this place.
After calming down, Benjamin gathered an ice knife, pricked his fingertip, and let the blood drip onto the parchment again. Finally, the parchment emitted a green light, but when he moved it forward, the solid stone wall still did not open the passage.
In desperation, Benjamin could only unfold the parchment again.
However, with this casual glance, he was a little surprised to find that in the green light, the shape of the parchment displayed this time was completely different from what he saw last time.
