Chapter 506 Explore the Ruins of the Cave 【Subscription】【5K】

In Zong Shen's view, the lion skeleton knight may be weaker than the contemporary fifth-order human knight.

But not too weak.

That kind of fighting power is enough.

If the number is small, it is easy to deal with. If the number is too large, Zong Shen and the others may not be able to fight.

In addition, as undead creatures, their greatest advantage is not reflected in pure combat power.

The reason why the undead natural disaster was able to sweep the continent in the past was because of the characteristics of the undead.

They are not afraid of life and death, have no emotions, have no pain, have a high degree of execution, and are not merciful when killing, even if the enemy's offensive is fierce, they cannot be shaken.

As long as there are high-level undead with command ability, once these monsters are grouped together, it is a real natural disaster.

Combining these two issues, it becomes a big problem.

"How to kill the skeleton knight without disturbing the murlocs..."

"We have to ensure the safety of subsequent excavations."

"Oh, it's really hard to do!"

Zong Shen pouted, suddenly feeling that this adventure is still very difficult.

After thinking about it, there is no reliable solution.

At least according to the known information, this operation is definitely difficult.

Fortunately, he still has hours to study.

Baron Bezos and they have at least five hours to arrive.

This time is the best opportunity to do pre-preparation.

The strategy module can provide very detailed details, but the specific situation requires your own observation.

As the saying goes, seeing a hundred things is better than seeing them once, and it can also be applied here.

At the moment, Zong Shen was ready to go down the mountain to investigate.

The state of the ruins must be determined before the next action can be considered.

Although those murlocs are closely monitoring this place, they do not move at the foot of the mountain.

Maybe consider leading those lion and skeleton knights to the murlocs first.

Zong Shen crossed Erlang's legs and sat on the edge of the cliff, thinking quietly.

The breeze was blowing from north to south, allowing him to face the current difficulties more calmly.

Vereesa and the others were moving freely on the cliffs, watching the situation on the top of the mountain while being alert.

Madeleine, who had advanced to the fourth-order strong attack ranger, stood beside Zong Shen and looked at the lake in a trance.

She has the blessing of [Eagle Eye]. Compared with ordinary people, her eyesight is outrageous, but she can't see the situation by the lake clearly.

Talking about vision in the face of distance is a hooligan.

Zong Shen stopped thinking for a while, turned his head and saw Madeleine standing beside him, and handed her the [Single Telescope].

"Madeleine, look through the telescope."

"I think with your eyesight, you should be able to see more clearly."

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Madeleine nodded and reached out to take the telescope.

The size of this thing is not small, and it is heavy in the hand.

Madeleine took a few steps back before putting the telescope lens in front of her right eye.

During this period, she kept moving left or right, adjusting the observation position.

After a long while, Madeleine put down the telescope and pointed to the north.

"My lord, there is a stone tower on the north shore of this lake."

"It looks like an altar."

"In addition, there are more huts on the north shore than on the east and west banks."

"There are also some peculiar buildings like big water pools."

Madeleine reported what she saw to Zong Shen.

After listening to her report, Zong Shen didn't say much.

Reaching out to take the binoculars, he nodded casually.

"I understand."

"You are waiting for me on the top of the mountain."

"I'm going to see the situation by myself."

Zong Shen put the binoculars in the storage compartment and jumped off the cliff without looking back.

At the moment of his whereabouts, he activated the levitation technique.

The light blue wind energy surrounded it, making his body as light as a feather.

Just as Madeleine was about to say something, Zong Shen was nowhere to be seen.

This way of leaving is indeed a bit out of bounds!

The cliff has a drop of five or six hundred meters, and down is a densely wooded mountainside.

Zong Shen used levitation to control his body and landed smoothly in the dense forest on the mountainside.

He wanted to be a scout himself to investigate the situation of the ruins.

If necessary, I might have to use [Transformer's Illusory Mask (Purple)] or [Transformation Potion (Blue)] to disguise as a shallow-water murloc and blend into the Torrent Tribe to see the situation.

However, he is a human after all, and if he wants to transform into a murloc, it is estimated that the [Transfiguration Potion] is still a bit inferior.

It should be necessary to use [Transformer's Illusory Mask (Purple)].

No matter what, he needs to come to the foot of the mountain first.

Zong Shen landed in the forest and looked around at the situation.

I didn't find any suspicious places, and I think the ruins are not here yet.

"Please show me where the ruins are located!"

He used his mind to convey a request to the strategy module.

The response was almost instantaneous, and a striking golden guide appeared in front of Zong Shen.

After having a clear goal, Zong Shen floated up again and flew towards the foot of the mountain.

Flying is definitely much faster than walking.

After leaving the dense forest on the mountainside, the light below suddenly became clear.

It is an open field with a sloping extension, no plants and no gravel, only a large area of ​​dark soft soil.

There is a straight-line distance of about two kilometers from the lake.

Of course, the straight-line distance here refers to the south bank.

And the murloc outposts on the east and west coasts are at least five or six kilometers away.

When looking down at the top of the mountain, the distance of a few kilometers is nothing.

But when he stood on the foot of the mountain, these distances should be safe enough.

Murlocs aren't those raptors with ridiculously good eyesight.

As long as there is not much movement at the site of the ruins, it should not attract the attention of the fish people.

However, as a result, the [Magic Drilling Machine] is not suitable for use.

After all, as a magic energy machine, that thing would make obvious noise whether it was driving or starting the drilling rig to start digging.

In addition, it is impossible to mobilize a large number of people to dig manually at the foot of the mountain.

If it's just a dozen or so people, it doesn't matter if they deliberately hide their stature.

But if dozens of people really dig at the foot of the mountain with great fanfare, it will also attract the attention of the murlocs.

As Zong Shen slowly flew to the foot of the mountain, he pondered the countermeasures.

There is never a one-size-fits-all solution.

Levitation is much faster than walking.

Three or four minutes later, Zong Shen had already landed on the foot of the mountain.

When he landed, he only felt that the soil under his feet was extremely soft.

Even after the levitating effect disappeared, his own weight left obvious footprints on the ground. In addition, there were many horseshoe marks nearby.

These marks are very deep, but they are smaller than the hoof marks of grassland horses, which are obviously in line with the characteristics of undead bone horses without flesh and blood.

Zong Shen watched carefully, and soon there were more discoveries.

There are ruins of the building near the foot of the hill on the left.

The exposed part of the ground is several huge round stone pillars.

The pillars had been broken, and most of them were buried in dirt.

The one exposed on the ground is about two meters high.

Zong Shen walked to the ruins and reached out and rubbed the building.

There is a lot of floating soil on the surface, which has already shown a gray-white state.

Although this location is an obvious relic location.

However, the location of the guide is not here, but five or six hundred meters away from the north of these stone pillars.

As you can imagine, it is impossible for the Lion and Skeleton Knights to build stone buildings with great fanfare as a temporary station.

Nine times out of ten it's a log cabin or tent.

These stone pillars should have originally existed here.

After all, being able to choose this place as a resident is a consideration on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also proves that there were people here more than 10,000 years ago.

Temporary housing can't be placed in a place where birds don't shit.

At least this is a safe rear area. As for the buildings under the stone pillars, it may be the contact point of the rebellion against the coalition forces.

It could also be a temple or some other ancient building, but it could not be the station itself.

However, Zong Shen still asked the Raiders in line with the principle that he would rather kill by mistake and not let it go.

"Is there anything worth exploring around here besides the ruins?"

This questioning method covers all the surrounding places.

(The places worth exploring within 50km have been marked for you)

The prompt subtitles disappeared soon after it appeared.

Zong Shen began to look around, looking for markers other than the ruins.

Not to mention, there are three marking points in addition to this ruin within 50 kilometers.

And these two marking points are on the north side of Zongshen, that is, where the lake is located after the foot of the mountain extends past.

A marker was near the center of the lake, which was covered with mist, and Zong Shen couldn't see anything clearly.

Another marker is on the north shore of the lake, the heart of the Riptide Clan.

The last marker is on the south, near the top of the mountain, where Zong Shen and the others landed.

As for the underside of the stone pillar, there is nothing famous.

After Zong Shen confirmed all the locations, he erased the other two marks with a single thought.

Now is not the time to explore the lake and the rapids.

The Torrent Tribe had more than 8,000 shallow-water murlocs.

If Zong Shen didn't bring a few hundred people, he might not be able to beat them.

After all, this is the home of the Torrent tribe.

Hundreds of people are a very conservative figure.

Even if you first use the Eagle Sauce bomber to drop goblin bombs to wash the ground.

Then let all kinds of third-order and fourth-order group attack magic sweep.

Finally, send a team to attack.

Even so, the outcome is unpredictable.

After all, there are more than 8,000 murlocs with basic combat power here, and even 8,000 pigs have to be killed for a while to finish.

But it's not easy to do it in a short time, but it doesn't mean it can't be done in the future.

These shallow-water murlocs are natural and bodyguards, and it is not too late to harvest them when their strength is sufficient.

Anyway, Zong Shen can't handle it, let alone other lords.

Unless it is a group of hundreds of lords to gather thousands of warriors to attack.

Otherwise, this Torrent tribe will continue to exist in a stable manner.

After all, they have been living here for a hundred or two hundred years.

This shows that their strength is enough for the tribe to stand here and not be threatened by other beasts and beasts.

Zong Shen turned his attention back to the site of the Knights of the Lions.

He has been down to the foot of the mountain for a while, and he has not seen the figure of the lion and skeleton knight.

But he did not take it lightly, because there were many traces of skeleton knights walking on the ground.

These traces have not been erased naturally and should be traces of recent activity.

However, at present, Zong Shen has not seen any active skeleton knights on the surface.

Now he is going to go to the site of the ruins to see, the ruins have long been buried deep underground.

But since a lion and skeleton knight was alerted, it means that there is a vacancy in the underground.

With the doubts in his heart, Zong Shen followed the guidance of the guide and headed north.

After traveling five or six hundred meters, he came to the standard place for navigation.

There is a huge sinkhole here.

The diameter is more than ten meters, showing a funnel shape.

The deepest point was about three or four meters wide, but unfortunately it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

On the inside of the pit, there are obvious footprints of skeleton horses.

Explain that this pit goes straight to the ground.

"Strange, the soil here is so soft, why are there sinkholes?"

"It looks like this pit seems to be a burrow."

"No! Only the topsoil is loose!"

Zong Shen squatted down, looking at the pit and thinking.

The soil under my feet is very soft, only a little more solid than the silt.

Logically, let alone a burrow, even such a pit could not be formed.

Because the soil is too soft and has no support, unless it is a large open-air collapse.

However, when he looked carefully at the pit, he made a new discovery.

The pitch-black, soft soil was only forty or fifty centimeters above the surface.

The lower soil layer is normal gray-brown.

It seems to be much more solid.

The color of the soil is the first business card, which can initially convey some soil conditions.

It seems that those lion and skeleton knights ran out of the burrow under this pit.

And that burrow is obviously formed by the remains of the original resident.

Whether it is a wooden house or a tent, it can become a basic support space even after it is destroyed.

Especially when geological conditions change drastically.

For example, earthquakes, flash floods, etc., it is normal to form some spaces.

Of course, these are just Zong Shen's own analysis.

It doesn't really matter how the pit and the burrow were formed.

This relic has experienced more than 10,000 years, during which I do not know how many geological changes have occurred.

What can happen is unpredictable.

At least for the current Zong Shen, no matter what the situation of the ruins is, all he can do is to accept everything.

Not to mention more than 10,000 years, in fact, even if it is only a few decades, there may be great changes.

Zong Shen got up slowly, stretched out his hand and took out the [Magic Flashlight], and turned the lamp down to one level of brightness.

Then, step by step, he walked towards the bottom of the pit.

The slope of the pit is not too steep, and the soil below it is solid.

The traces left by those skeleton horses are obviously not as obvious as those on the surface.

He carefully came to the entrance of the burrow, and some smashed soil slipped down and fell into it.

Don't look at the pitch black inside the cave, in fact, when he used a flashlight to illuminate it, he realized that it was only four or five meters deep at most, and it was quite gentle.

It is not surprising that the resident site of the Knights of the Lions was buried because of geological changes.

The normal geological change is at most a burial depth of more than ten meters.

Second, the revived lion and skeleton knights can still freely travel between the underground and the ground.

This means that the passage below must be very gentle. If the vertical height is four or five meters, the skeleton horse cannot jump out.

Zong Shen had the answer almost immediately.

"Go ahead and have a look..."

He grabbed the flashlight in one hand and touched his waist with the other, where the [Intracranial Rumbling Hammer] was hanging.

"call!"

After taking a deep breath, he decisively entered the cave along the gentle slope.

There should be multiple reasons for the formation of this burrow.

In addition to natural factors, perhaps the revived lion and skeleton knights also played a role.

They don't need to breathe, and they are brute force, and with a little space, they can dig freely in the ground.

So this burrow runs through at least most of the ruins.

In any case, since it is down, it must be explored first.

After walking down the gentle slope, it is an irregular tunnel with a height of four or five meters.

It was pitch black all around, and it had to be illuminated with a magic flashlight.

The passage of the burrow was dark and silent, blocking the sunlight from the outside world, and no sound came out.

It was as quiet as in another world.

Although it is adjacent to a lake, it is still relatively dry here.

Zong Shen carefully pointed forward with the magic flashlight.

The passage is not too long, only about fifty or sixty meters.

About half way forward, there are ruins on both sides of the passage.

Zong Shen saw several wooden beams that were already fossilized.

There are some burn marks on these wooden beams.

Some space was propped up below, and it was solidified after being buried.

This further proves that there should be geographical disasters such as landslides or earthquakes.

Burial is sudden.

Before these wooden beams decayed, they were sealed and the corresponding space was solidified.

However, the gap under the wooden beam is very narrow, and one person can bend over to enter in front of it.

It's impossible to get the Skeleton Knight out through such an entrance.

Therefore, this is by no means the place of recovery of the lion and skeleton knights, and it is likely to be part of the station.

Zong Shen observed it for a while and decided to go in and have a look.

He grabbed the flashlight and ducked into the gap under the wooden beam.

After entering it, there is about 40 to 50 square meters of space inside.

There are dozens of centimeters thick soil layer on the ground.

It looks like it should be a wooden house.

The function is temporarily unclear, because Zong Shen did not post anything useful in it.

There are only a few almost jade-like skeletons.

These bones are yellow-brown throughout, and have a jade-like luster in the light.

Seeing such a skeleton, Zong Shen couldn't help thinking of the skeleton that had been headshot by a blood-burning arrow that he had dug under a tree with a crooked neck near the territory.

Both have almost the same texture.

Apparently the skeletons are from the same era.
