Chapter 227 Mysterious Ancient Ruins
Ling Xiao and his fours finally arrived at the green mountain, located in a place in the southwest of the Zichuan Empire.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, it is deserted and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk. It seems that few people are setting foot here. Fortunately, there will be no problem with these four people walking in such places. Tiger seems to have returned to his own home. Although this forest is different from the swamp, the beast tribe in the habitat of the Pengzes swamp is an absolute primeval forest.
Ling Su held back her words along the way and asked why Ling Xiao suddenly became so magical. In her opinion, there was a suitable opportunity, Ling Xiao would definitely tell her that it might be a bit inconvenient to ask now. After all, for her, whether it is a fake young man Song Mingyue or the orc who looks very barbaric, they are still considered outsiders.
Fortunately, Tiger looked loyal, and the woman Song Mingyue seemed to be in love with her younger brother... Well, she also had a trace of affection in it, as if there was something else she wanted to ask for, especially in Qicai City. In such a dangerous situation, no one left her younger brother and ran away, which was considered affectionate and righteous.
Therefore, although she was a little cautious about these two people, Ling Su would not show any of it, and it was meaningless to go to the ancient ruins to take these two people. Because she also saw that her third brother had become very different from when she left the imperial capital. She looked much more mature, and the most important thing was that her strength had improved by leaps and bounds!
It's really unbelievable! Ling Su thought to herself that her younger brother had a very good experience. As a sister, she had no other extra thoughts except to be happy.
In this way, the four of them covered their tracks along the way, and there would be no problem with Tiger, an orc who grew up in the jungle.
When they arrived near the cliff, Ling Xiao and the others were shocked. No wonder no one has discovered this ancient ruin since ancient times. The cliff is thousands of meters high! It is impossible to see the top from below, because the cliff is slightly tilted, giving people a huge sense of oppression!
Then, you exit hundreds of meters and then fly to the treetops to get a glimpse of the whole picture. There is also a turbulent river under the cliff! The river looks very deep, clear and the river water is cold and icy. It is about twenty meters wide. For anyone present, except for Ling Su, it may be a little difficult for him, the other three people would not take the twenty meters seriously.
But the problem is that the other end of the river is just against this cliff! In other words, even if you can jump over, you will have no place to settle down after you jump over! You have to fall into the river. The river is cold and very fast, and whirlpools with strong force are constantly forming on the water surface, which looks terrible. On this side of the river, there are bushes of shrubs growing, which are very messy and there is not even much place to go.
Song Mingyue exclaimed softly: "Heaven, it's really hard for you to find this place, but how did you get there? Where is that ancient monument?"
Ling Su smiled faintly, then pointed with her hand about fifty meters downstream. The cliff terrain there was a little slow, as if there was a small groove that could accommodate one person.
Song Mingyue asked in disbelief: "It's where?" Seeing Ling Su nodding, she said disbelief: "Sister, don't joke. Although it's a little concave, it's also a cliff. Are there any ancient ruins?"
Ling Xiao saw a little trick from that place. At first glance, the sunken place was indeed no different from the surrounding environment, but if you look closely, you will see the problem.
The color of the stone seemed to be slightly different from the ones around it... Of course, not everyone can have this kind of vision. Ling Su can see that it is because she has studied ancient ruins since childhood and is very familiar with the changes in various scenes. And Ling Xiao can see that it is entirely because of her personal vision!
After all, after tens of thousands of years of assimilation, the stone seems to be no different from the surroundings. I believe that if Ling Su had not said it, even he would have missed it. Thinking of this, Ling Xiao had to admire his sister, who indeed has considerable strength in this regard.
"Then how did you get through?"
Song Mingyue still asked in disbelief. She asked herself that she had some knowledge, and the cultivation of children by the hidden aristocratic families was on the one hand, on the one hand, it was about the search for ancient ruins. For those hidden aristocratic sects, as long as they were lucky, they could find an ancient ruin with value within five hundred years. Then, as long as they developed in a low-key manner and pushed forward five hundred sides, the family would be worry-free. Because ancient ruins often represent a large number of advanced sword skills, skills, and some extremely precious ancient hand scrolls and books. If they were particularly lucky, they could also get some prescriptions left by ancient alchemists, such as many hidden aristocratic sects with certain strength, in fact, they all had secret recipes for refining pills that improve the speed of cultivation. However, the medicinal materials needed to refine pills is too difficult to find, and the secondly, there are not many people who can successfully refine them! Therefore, the attractiveness of pills to hidden aristocratic sects is so powerful!
Because alchemy is not something that a pharmacist can do. If someone thinks that alchemy is the same as refining pills, then this person either doesn’t know how to refine alchemy or has a brain problem.
Ling Su smiled and pointed with her hand upstream corner, saying, "A little above the corner, there is a big tree growing on this shore. For some reason, it fell down. Perhaps it was just growing in a slant. It was alive and very huge. It leaned on the cliff there and formed a natural wooden bridge. Hugh, I couldn't imagine it."
"Well……"
Song Mingyue grew up on the sea. If you talk about water, you may not be your opponent. But for Song Mingyue, these adventure tricks would be like listening to the heavenly book and you didn’t understand them at all! So, although she still had many problems in her heart, she was afraid that others would be annoyed, so she shut up and said to herself: With my strength, I can fly over directly, so why bother to do this?
In fact, this is also a bit of her own thought, because many ancient ruins actually have a very terrible defense. If you pounce on them rashly, the likely consequence is that you are injured by sudden arrows. Not only are there, but there are many such situations!
Ling Su chuckled softly, and did not argue with her. She led a few people along the turbulent river to the upper reaches. Sure enough, she saw a big tree lying there. Then everyone carefully discovered that many dark iron rods with palms were nailed into the cliff. Because the river water was soaked all year round, it seemed that the cliff was five or six meters away from the water surface, and it was really impossible to find it if you didn't look carefully!
Ling Su took the lead, walked in front, then looked back at Ling Xiao and the other two and said, "You are more powerful than me, so I won't remind you to be careful, just follow me!"
The four of them stood close to the cliff. Not to mention, when they walked like this, they looked at the turbulent flow under their feet, and listened to the roar of the river, and felt a little nervous. Song Mingyue felt funny and a little nervous. Maybe she was about to untie a new veil of the veil of the ancient ruins? She had never seen any storms, so why would she be afraid of a small river?
Fortunately, the magic swordsman's strength was not exaggerated, and there was no accident. All four of them arrived at the edge of this groove.
Ling Su sighed softly and said, "Think about more than a month ago, there were seven or eight of us here, but now I am the only one left."
Song Mingyue felt Ling Su's somewhat depressed mood and chuckled: "That's not your fault, sister, it's their own greed! Don't worry, sister, this time, Mingyue only comes with her eyes, and Mingyue will not touch anything!"
Ling Su actually really means this. Although she knows that this is a Xibei product, the problem is that her younger brother doesn’t know! As for Ling Su who is not in love, who is in contact with countless nobles, he is not a person who believes in love. In her opinion, the more noble a person is, the more likely he is to betray him with a high sound.
However, Song Mingyue pointed it out in person and said it sincerely, which made Ling Su's fair face turn slightly red, and then returned to normal. She thought to herself: I am also for the sake of my brother's good. If Song Mingyue really has no intention, she would naturally not be angry because of her words. If she had, her words would be considered as a harsh attack on her!
It is equivalent to a vague reminder, don’t play tricks, everyone is dead, but I am alive, which can explain the problem!
Ling Su was not very powerful, but he was very knowledgeable about archaeology. His hands had been exploring the groove for half a day. Just when everyone was a little impatient, he suddenly heard a slight vibration, and the sound was very, very small! If it weren't for being right in front of him, he would even cover up the sound of water!
It is very different from the loud bang in my mind!
With this slight sound, the stone in the groove miraculously sank below!
A deep, dark tunnel was revealed.
Ling Su took out the fire stick from her arms, opened it with a snap, and then led the way in, and got in.
Song Mingyue followed closely, Ling Xiao was the third one, and Tiger followed vigilantly. Ling Xiao suddenly turned around and said, "Teger, remove all these black nails and throw them into the river!"
Ling Su in front was stunned, and Song Mingyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will bring you with you when we come out!"
Ling Su smiled bitterly, and said, "In front of these people, she was already a drag." She didn't think much about it. She didn't go in very far last time. She knew that this ancient ruins had basically no such mechanism traps or other things.
