Chapter 129: Misplaced Relics

As the humidity increased, I thought I would encounter a water world in the center of the forest, but strangely the ground became drier and drier, and the temperature kept rising. Although the ground became more and more solid, the fog in the air became more and more serious, and from time to time, heat could be seen coming out of the gaps in the ground. Now I finally understand how the environment here came about. There must be a river of magma under the ground in this place, so the underground temperature is relatively high. The wetland on the periphery of the forest itself accumulates a large amount of water, and this water does not flow to the periphery of the forest, but flows back into the interior of the forest. However, due to geothermal heat and cracks on the surface, the water did not form rivers or lakes, but was all evaporated into the air. This rapid evaporation process creates a delicate balance in the forest. The evaporated water takes away a lot of heat, so that the surface temperature still allows some heat-resistant plants to grow, and the dense plants form a huge canopy to block the rising water vapor, so that the entire forest is filled with fog.

Due to the dryness of the ground and the increasingly dense forests, riding a horse is no longer suitable. Even I have to dismount and walk. Riding on the back of Yeying always requires me to lower my head to avoid annoying branches from time to time. It is easier to walk.

"President Ziri, you have to be careful from here on out. There is a very terrifying monster hidden in this fog. We lost nearly half of our personnel here last time." The female archer Kindly reminded.

After hearing the archer's prompt, the captain seemed uneasy and added: "This kind of monster is very fast and has high attack power. You'd better be careful."

Before the captain finished speaking, he saw the fog in front of him suddenly parting, and a black shadow shot out from the fog like lightning, but a red light suddenly flashed, and he followed me and took a step to the side, and the black shadow shot directly through I fell to the ground past where I was just standing, and it was only then that the people around me discovered that the black shadow was the monster they had encountered once before, but now the monster's body was neatly divided into two halves from the middle.

"Is this what you are talking about?"

The few people looked at each other, then at the monster corpse on the ground, and then the captain said helplessly: "Pretend I didn't say anything."

We encountered many more of these monsters on the road, but each time there was only one result. All the monsters that appeared were killed by me in one blow. This kind of monster is actually just a level 600 monster. The reason why this team lost half of its personnel here is mainly because this creature is a geographically adaptable creature. Just like those lava toads I encountered not long ago, players can't fight them in the lava at all, and this creature is similar. Their explosive power and super attack power bring a lot of trouble in the fog. The effect of a sure-kill hit, and the 'fog' blocks the line of sight, making it impossible for players to effectively counterattack. This is their real specialty. But today is not a good day for these monsters. Facing me, a super player with over a thousand levels, their killing blows have no effect at all, because I have the ability to discover them in the fog, and With super long reaction speed, their raids had no effect on me, and the shortcoming of low defense was exposed at this time.

After passing through the area where these monsters were, a mountain wall appeared in front of us. The mountain wall, completely covered with green moss and vines, was like a huge wall that completely blocked the road ahead, and the road ended here. That's it. Under the guidance of the adventure team, I found a stone gate on the mountain. However, the entrance was not on the ground, but halfway up the mountain more than ten meters above the ground. "Why is this door so high up?"

"We don't know either. It was like this the last time we came here." As the captain said, he reached out and grabbed the hanging rattan on the mountain wall next to him and started to climb up. The others also went to find the empty rattan and started climbing. Climb up the mountain.

The female archer came over and found a cane and handed it over. I looked at it but didn't take it. In her puzzled eyes, I raised a hand and pointed it at the hole above. I followed my finger and heard a muffled sound. The dragon tendon flying rope suddenly shot out, and there was a crisp ding. 'Inserted' into the rock at the top of the cave. I pulled hard twice, and after confirming that the connection was tight, I grabbed the female archer's wrist with my other hand. The zipline immediately began to shrink, and the two of us were pulled up directly. In the surprised and envious eyes of the team members next to us, we landed at the entrance of the cave with a very beautiful posture. The female archer didn't react until this moment. She looked back and found that everyone was still climbing the vines.

The cave above is obviously artificially built, but the neat stone walls are completely covered with plants with full vitality. There are also many unknown plants hanging from the top of the passage, making it look like a spider cave. , quite a scary feeling. I was about to call the female archer to go in first, but suddenly I heard screams from behind. When I looked back, I found that a team member was already lying on the ground, but there was nothing nearby.

"what happened?"

"Just now, a monster rushed out of the fog and attacked us, but it has already escaped."

The female archer stretched out her head and shouted: "How is Balasi?"

"It's already dead. That thing moves very fast!"

The captain immediately shouted: "Don't stop, hurry up. It's not bad that we only lost one person here. Everyone, hurry up."

The captain's words were quite good among their team, and everyone's movements immediately became faster. Since there was nothing I could do to help, I simply turned around and continued deeper into the cave. All the plant roots that were in the way were chopped off with a sword. Without these obstacles blocking the cave, it was easier to walk. After going tens of meters deep into the cave, the people below also climbed up one after another, but by the time they ran to us, we had already entered a huge stone chamber. This is a room about the size of a basketball court. The surrounding walls are covered with moss. However, you can still see the dense relief text under the moss, but it is basically unrecognizable due to the severe corrosion.

"Where is the Stone of Commandment?"

"Still at the back, this is the main hall. There is a mechanism over there. When activated, a passage will be opened. After passing through the passage, you can reach a room with many passages. The Stone of Commandment we sold you is in one of the passages. Found inside.”

"One of the passages? Have you explored the other passages?"

The female archer shook her head. "No. We only explored two passages at that time, and the second passage contained two stones of commandment that you wanted, and we only had time to get one. Then the boss inside rushed out, and we all ended up They didn't run away, everyone hung outside, but fortunately the stone of commandment didn't explode."

I nodded to show that I understood. From what the female archer said, they had barely explored this place, which meant that there might be Stones of Commandment in other passages. But to be honest, I don't have high hopes for this. After all, the Stone of Commandment is not iron ore, so there is no reason why it would appear in pieces. I'm surprised to see two pieces in the same place at the same time.

Before the people behind us could catch up, we had already activated the mechanism. Sure enough, as the archer said, a gap opened in the center of the wall. However, we don’t know whether there was a problem with the mechanism or it was just like this. The door only opened a gap. It was such a small crack that I had to smash a large piece off the door before I walked in. According to the female archer, the last time they came, they took off their armor and squeezed the empty person in, then put their armor back on before entering the passage. Fortunately, the inside of the passage is much wider than the entrance, so at least you don't have to take off your armor. After walking a few steps, I arrived at the room full of passages. It was much cleaner here than outside, and there was no moss or anything like that. However, the reliefs on the walls were still severely corroded, but at least they could be seen roughly. form, but this only made me more confused.

"The style of this relief doesn't seem to be European, does it?" I asked casually.

The female archer immediately replied: "We don't know, but it's definitely not our style. It looks like something from the Mayan civilization or ancient Egypt."

"It's not something from Egypt." I replied with certainty: "Egyptian writing is not like this. This relief style is only found in South America. It is probably a product of the Mayan civilization. But this actually appears in Europe. It's really cool. strangeness!"

"We don't know about this. After all, we are not studying history!" The captain pointed to the leftmost passage and said: "This passage collapsed after less than thirty meters, so we couldn't explore it later. .The passage next to it is the passage where we found the Stone of Commandment you wanted."

I nodded and immediately walked towards the second passage. The female archer immediately shouted from behind: "Be careful, the boss from last time may still be inside!"

Before I could answer, the captain said first: "He is number one in the combat power list. He is the boss to us, but he is just a kitten to others."

I ignored them and walked straight into the passage. This passage is much wider than the one coming in. If the one coming in is a cave for people, then this one is basically a large tunnel for trains. This tunnel is sloping downward, and the slope gets bigger as it goes. Coupled with the water on the ground and a thin layer of moss, there is almost no friction at all. Those guys came well prepared. They all carried a kind of steel drill that was more than one meter long. Then they walked a few steps and 'inserted' one of them into the ground, so that they could be used as handrails if they were lined up one by one. Otherwise, with this kind of ground, just sit on the ground to ensure that you can slip to the bottom.

"Ah!" I was walking smoothly when I suddenly heard a scream from behind.

"what happened?"
