Chapter 3498 Ancient Ruins

Hearing this, Gongsun Xuance looked a little confused.

In the end, he still didn't get the information about Paradise Lost from Locke, and Locke also shook his head regretfully.

...

Three hundred years later, Lilith was conducting experiments in a private laboratory on the top of the Seventh Peak. Locke continued to practice and strengthen his body in the courtyard outside the Bone Palace of the Seventh Peak. Gongsun Xuance suddenly He rushed in eagerly.

"What's the matter?" The exposed ferocious bone armor and the sharp barbs in the gaps of the bone armor proved the strength of Locke's body. Faced with Gongsun Xuance's sudden visit, Locke kept his training movements unchanged and asked unhurriedly.

"Brother Locke, something big has happened!" Gongsun Xuance shouted.

"What's going on?" Locke was still in that unhurried state.

Locke's current state of mind had little to do with the Pure Heart Curse given to him by Gongsun Xuance.

It was precisely because Gongsun Xuance had given him an extremely precious Pure Heart Curse without hesitation that Locke could tolerate him coming to his place from time to time to catch the autumn wind.

The Purifying Mantra is not a method for cultivating strength. It is entirely a mental method for tempering one's mind and will.

Moreover, there is not much content in the Pure Heart Mantra, just a few hundred words, but it contains extremely profound principles and laws.

Since cultivation is related to the law of emotions, the Pure Heart Curse is more useful to Locke.

Although it may not necessarily give Locke much bonus in terms of strength, this change of mind is not a kind of growth for Locke.

At least whenever Locke feels agitated and secretly has violent murderous intentions in his heart, silently reciting the Heart-Cleaning Mantra can make Locke feel a refreshing chill in his heart.

"There are ruins appearing! Ancient ruins!"

"The news from the Third Peak is that both the Third Peak Master and the Fourth Peak Master have passed away!" Gongsun Xuance said excitedly.

For beings like Gongsun Xuance and Locke, who have been in the world of despair for thousands of years, the existence of many ancient ruins in the world of despair is not new.

In addition to the ruins of the Republic of Avondale that Locke had entered before with Phantom Morrel and others, there were dozens of ruins that Locke had heard of, seen, and even entered personally over the years.

Most of these ruins are extremely weathered and decayed. They are relatively well-preserved like the ruins of the Avondale Republic. There are even remains of secret treasures, but almost none are left.

What is quite interesting is that before these ruins were thoroughly excavated and explored, they were distributed in many corners of the desperate world in the form of regular dangerous areas.

Some survivors have stayed in those dangerous places with rules for tens of thousands of years, and their original intention is to return to the star realm through the dangerous places with rules. But in the end, he never thought that the dangerous place he was in was just a relic left by an ancient civilization that was unknown tens of thousands of years ago.

The so-called special rules governing dangerous areas are just the remaining power of the ancient civilization relics at work.

Seeing Gongsun Xuance so excited shows that this newly discovered ruins are relatively well preserved.

An ancient civilization that could leave traces in a bitter cold place like the Despair World must have reached at least the level of the Avondale Republic.

Another reason why Gongsun Xuance is so excited is that he has become a little bored after staying there for nearly a thousand years.

Now that an unknown and mysterious ruins were discovered, Locke was immediately invited to explore it together.

"Do you know which civilization that ruins are from? Are there any additional clues?" Locke couldn't help but ask.

"The news brought back by the survivor on the third peak is quite mixed, but it seems to be the ruins of a powerful civilization full of death and decay." Gongsun Xuance replied.

After that, Gongsun Xuance sneakily flew to Locke and whispered, "That ruins seems to have attracted several settlements with peak despair people. It is said that there is a special passage out of the world of despair in the ruins."

Gongsun Xuance's reminder made Locke stop practicing.

He first looked at the direction of the third and fourth peaks, and then said, "You go and prepare first. I'll call Lilith and Ruier, and we'll set off together later."

"Good!" Gongsun Xuance replied.

...

The ancient ruins mentioned by Gongsun Xuance are still very far away from the Jiuchong Mountain settlement area where they are currently located.

Even if a few people travel at full speed, it will take nearly two years to reach the target ruins.

It was not easy for the third peak survivor who brought back the news. After discovering the ruins, it took him five years to return to Jiuchong Mountain with a seriously injured body.

What caused the survivor to be seriously injured was not the remaining danger in the ruins, but the attacks from other survivors in the desperate world.

Two years later, a large crater-like skeletal basin appeared in front of Locke and others.

Just as he approached this bone basin, Locke felt a certain concentration of death and decay elements. This was a very rare thing in a desperate world where element concentrations were extremely scarce.

"These death elements..." Lilith, who was traveling with her, suddenly frowned. She seemed to have discovered some familiar power element, but she was not sure.

"Go in and take a look first. It seems quite lively inside." Locke said.

As he spoke, strong power fluctuations came from the skeletal basin inside the crater, and there seemed to be a fierce battle going on inside.

Also, in a chaotic and disorderly world like the World of Despair, it is very possible that there is a connection

The ancient ruins of the external passage will inevitably prompt those desperate people to fight in it.

In comparison, the Jiuchong Mountain dangerous area where Locke is located, and the Penetrating Eye dangerous area where he has been, are both rare dangerous areas with a relatively stable internal order.

When Locke and others climbed over the crater and reached the bottom of the basin inside the crater, what appeared in front of everyone was a group of pitch-black ferocious spiders, fighting with a large number of survivors.

These ferocious spiders seem to be of the same species, with strange floral white lines covering the spider's body.

These patterns are not simply decorations. An indescribable special energy acts on each spider based on these patterns, making these spiders obviously only at the semi-god level, but they can burst into combat in a short period of time comparable to level four creatures. force.

This group of spiders did not stop the survivors who came here to explore the interior of the ruins. In fact, many powerful and desperate people had already fought their way through the spider group and rushed into a cave in the center of the Skeleton Basin.

The reason why these spiders can temporarily block many survivors is not only the amplification effect of their body patterns on these spiders, but also the fierce style of many spiders that are not afraid of death and would rather choose to self-destruct than take a step back. .
