253 Risk Reduction

A thick gray smoke was rolling up from the bottom of the hole, but after the smoke permeated to the position of the original blue crystal, it strangely stopped spreading to the surroundings.

The gray smoke that quickly became thicker, as if trying to seal the hole, stopped rising and began to gather rapidly at the original blue crystal.

Raymond, with red dots flashing in his pupils, immediately let the chip start to detect and analyze it, but Jonas, who was still retreating rapidly, immediately let out a roar of excitement. "My God! It turned out to be a maintenance-type rare wizard tower!" ..

Following Jonas' roar, the protective force field frantically gathered at the original position of the blue crystal also completely revealed its appearance.

The surging force field fluctuations caused light to refract around the entrance of the cave, and the powerful fluctuations that spread over made everyone's breathing difficult.

But the Tauren Cyril, who reacted equally quickly, appeared in front of Jonas at the same time as the force field ripples were generated. He burst out with a majestic aura, protecting both Jonas and Winnie. behind.

And Jonas, who stopped, moved his hands quickly on his chest, and soon a huge fireball was condensed by him, and smashed into the gray smoke that was gradually solidifying without hesitation.

In an instant, the fireball that fell on the gray smoke exploded, and with a strange "squeak" sound, the gray smoke that had stopped rolling and rising immediately burst out under the cover of flames. With a sharp sound, it was quickly turned into wisps of fly ash in the flames and scattered away. ..

When Jonas's flame spells converged, Raymond activated the detection function of the chip, and just as the flame was about to be completely extinguished, the chip's analysis of the gray smoke finally appeared in his sight inside.

"Inexplicable Lepidoptera insect. Body length 0.2 mm, lifeless, characteristics unknown."

The photos taken by the chip were quickly enlarged, and soon a complete three-dimensional view of the insect's three-dimensional form appeared in Raymond's sight.

Two pairs of gray membranous wings, plus eight pairs of strange gastropods, although overall it has the characteristics of Lepidoptera insects, but the shriveled head, sunken compound eyes, and even the body missing a large number of gastropods show , this moth-like insect has already lost its life. And has been dead for many years!

After Raymond checked the data, the flame controlled by Jonas Cao was still burning at the original position of the blue crystal, and the gray smoke made of moth mummies spewed out continuously from below. gradually become thinner. In the end, the flame that lost the support of combustible substances was extinguished unsustainably.

Facing the excited eyes that Jonas bet on. For a while, Raymond didn't understand the meaning of what he said before. But Jonas yelled right after. "Lord Raymond, this ruin may last longer than expected, and the harvest this time will be shocking!"

Facing the excited Jonas, Raymond was a little dazed for a moment, but seeing that Jonas was already walking towards the opened passageway, Raymond hesitated and quickly followed.

A large hole with a diameter of one meter. It appeared at the original position of the blue crystals, and there were still plant roots spawned by spells on the four walls of the cave. Although there were still wisps of gray smoke rising from below, the concentration and quantity were much less.

But in the gap between plant roots and stones below the hole. There have been quite a few aggregates of this kind of moth mummies, and they are still spreading on the stone wall, as if they want to mend the big hole.

Jonas, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, laughed and re-condensed a ball of flames. Under his control, he began to clean up the solidified gray lumps, accompanied by the smell of burnt plants and a faint stench, The cave passage that was quickly cleaned up was completely passable.

When Jonas started to clean up these attachments on the cave wall, Raymond broke off a small piece of gray attachment from the cave wall, and observed carefully with the help of the chip.

Lei Meng, who lowered his head, saw an image of countless insect corpses stacked up in his sight. These shriveled and waterless insect corpses were all glued together after stacking, and their hardness was not lower than that of ordinary stones. .

Moreover, the gaps between these insect corpses are also extremely small, not only can it block the penetration of water, but it is also very difficult for air to pass through!

"Master Raymond, the mummy of this moth does not have any aggressiveness," Jonas, who quickly cleared the passage leading to the bottom, introduced with some excitement when he saw that Raymond was studying this gray substance with. "But this is an extremely rare passive defense method in the ancient wizard's tower. If it is not cleared in time, the passage will be blocked soon, and its strength is even stronger than ordinary stones!"

"Mummy of a moth?" As Raymond twirled his fingers, the gray thing in his hand didn't respond at all, and Raymond turned his eyes to Jonas with some doubts. "Master Jonas, how did the mummy of these moths have this characteristic? Is it the effect of witchcraft?"

Shaking his head, Jonas sighed with admiration. "The reason why the mummy of these moths have such an effect has not been solved until now, but the wizard tower with such protective measures must be very old."

Raymond, who had already had the chip analyze the condensate of the moth mummy in his hand, couldn't help frowning upon hearing the sound. "Lord Jonas, the power of ancient wizards is beyond doubt, so does it mean that the risk of exploring this ruin has increased?"

"Jie Jie, no way!" With excitement on his face, Jonas laughed loudly and rejected Raymond's conjecture. "The more ancient wizard ruins with such moth mummies, the lower the internal risk. According to the statistics of the Ruins Exploration Association, the discovery of such ruins generally means that the risk level has dropped by one level, but the possible The benefits obtained will be beyond imagination!"

Unlike Jonas' excitement, although Raymond's expectations for the possible harvest had increased, Raymond, who remained calm, just nodded and walked to the entrance of the passage to observe.

In the straight downward passage, the thickness of the surrounding stones has reached more than two meters, but everything below seems to be able to isolate the line of sight, and it is impossible for Lei Meng to see anything inside... (To be continued.)
