Chapter 1867 The True Face of the Ruins
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Wu Haibo was the first to climb down the rope.
The ten Black Horn Warriors were all elites who had experienced hundreds of battles. Half of them had white hair on their temples, and they had experience exploring ruins more than ten years ago.
Wu Haibo divided them into two groups. One group would be led by him, and the other group would trail behind.
Meng Chao, Lu Siya, Long Feijun, Shen Yupeng, and the others each held onto the rope and slowly sank into the rolling black fog.
In truth, with their skills, ropes were not essential.
The walls on either side of the rift were full of dents and cracks. They looked like man-made rock climbing fulcrums that could easily accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people at the same time.
However, Wu Haibo told everyone that these deep marks in the rock wall were not man-made.
They were claw marks and bullet craters left behind by ancient demons from decades ago. They had tried to rush to the ground from the exit of hell and fought the human warriors fiercely.
The entire rock wall was still filled with the strong smell of blood and smoke after decades. Looking at the traces that covered it completely, everyone's assessment of the danger in the ancient ruins increased by another level.
“If someone among us is truly bewitched by the ancient ruins and turns into a half-human, half-ghost, half-manic monster that tries to return to the surface, what do we do?” someone asked.
“First of all, the outer layer of the three cables is made of a flexible material with extremely high electrical conductivity. It can instantly release high-voltage currents of ten thousand degrees. This will ensure that any carbon-based creatures clinging to it will be electrocuted into a pile of ash.
“Then, the hundreds of explosion points installed within the rock wall will be activated at the same time and cause the entire rock wall to collapse.
“The monsters that crawl out will collapse back into hell along with the many thousand tons of rocks.
“The moment we opened the seal, the Black Horn Warrior team had already entered the highest alert state. They've loaded all their heavy equipment into the carefully calculated fixed crossfire points on both sides of the crack. Believe me, the heavy equipment of the Ancient Ruins Research Center has applied a lot of advanced technology from the depths of the ruins. We are certainly not comparable to the nine mega corporations and the Red Dragon Army in terms of stability, general functionality, and cost control. But when it comes to power, we are definitely second to none.
“If all these methods prove useless, we still have our final trump card. There are also a large number of explosives installed between the Ancient Ruins Research Center and the bottom level of the Supernatural Tower. Once they're detonated, they can temporarily cut off the spatial passageway between the research center and the Supernatural Tower.
“As you know, we're actually not really underground at the center of Dragon City. We've only traveled through a small area. We're in an alternate dimension that's independent of Dragon City. As long as we cut off the spatial passageway, we can seal any danger in a short period of time.
“In summary, don't worry about our operation this time. We will be completely wiped out at most. It definitely won't affect Dragon City's safety!”
As he spoke, the rope was released.
They descended into the underground rift. The first platform protruding horizontally was a small relay station.
Based on the underground rift's exit they had just descended twenty to thirty meters.
With the eyes of the supernatural beings that had been stimulated by spirit energy and had extremely strong retinas, they could have seen clearly whether the flies a hundred meters away were male or female.
However, when Meng Chao, Long Feijun, and Shen Yupeng looked up at the same time, they realized that there was a thick, dense, and purple-black fog that was wriggling like a blanket of fungi ten meters above their heads. It covered all the light, shadow, and sound waves.
They could not see that the electric sparks and electric arcs had been entangled again twenty to thirty meters above their heads.
They could not hear the Black Horn Warriors on both sides of the rift, nervously deploying, loading their bullets, and placing their guns in position.
It was as if they had been swallowed by an enormous black beast.
It was also like diving into the bottom of the deep sea where one could not see their own fingers…
Completely isolated from the outside world…
Ka! Ka!
Wu Haibo was familiar with this and pulled a lever at the edge of the platform.
Amidst a low buzzing sound, a few lamps embedded in the rock wall flickered hesitantly, emitting a turbid yellow light in the blurry black fog.
With the help of these lights that had been embedded here decades ago, everyone could see the large amount of resources and facilities that humans had left there before the ancient ruins were sealed.
There were also small tents that should have been transparent but were now covered in black dust.
“This is the quarantine zone.”
Wu Haibo said, “Originally, the explorers who returned from the depths of the ancient ruins had to be isolated and observed for at least twenty-four hours in the transparent single-person tents. They had to undergo a series of physical and psychological tests to ensure that they were still 100% of themselves and that they didn't carry any viruses or ‘things” that were more terrifying than viruses before they were allowed to return to the ground.
“Are you ready? If we continue down, we will reach the real ruins!”
Wu Haibo took a deep breath.
In the depths of the ancient ruins, the black dust was like primordial fragments that had solidified in the air. The director of the center inhaled them into his lungs, unable to suppress his nervousness and excitement.
He adjusted the imaging band of the magnetic field imaging system slightly and searched for Battle God Lei Zongchao.
The deep blue light slowly swept across the uneven rock walls, reflecting the cracks in the deeper parts of the darkness that were emitting all kinds of colorful and demonic lights, twisting their bodies like insects and dragons.
“These cracks are the branches of the ancient ruins.”
” The pioneers from decades ago heard the Ancient Ruins” Summon on the ground and crawled into the cracks without any regard for their own safety.
“Most of the pioneers died tragically in the gaps, or they were turned into muddle-headed idiots and deformed monsters.
“But there were also a few lucky ones who were determined, brave, and resourceful. They passed the test of the gap and received rewards in that era. The theories of spirit energy and martial arts, the core of rune technology, and the ‘short-distance jump system on the surface of a planet” that we have been studying recently all came from this.
“To this day, we still don't understand what the Ancients who built the ancient ruins billions of years ago were thinking.
“If they set up layers of traps in the ancient ruins to test whether the humanoid creatures that come here billions of years later are qualified to inherit their inheritance, then they will be able to inherit the inheritance.
“Then, why is their test so chaotic and weird? Most of the time, there is no pattern at all. It is just a game of death that is unbridled.”
