Chapter 1562 The entrance to the ruins!
"Kil'jaeden, what do you think of these five goblins I picked? Do you need any more?"
Lu Li turned around to glance at Kil'jaeden, who had been watching and was almost becoming a background board, and asked.
However, before the latter could speak, Lu Li continued to speak:
"Since there are no more supplies, let's set off as soon as possible."
Kil'jaeden: "..."
This guy didn't even give him time to speak!
However, thinking that it would be useless for him to add more information, Kil'jaeden simply remained silent.
No matter how many Gobelins he brought with him, he would still have to stay outside the ruins for fifteen cycles.
No difference.
He then fell silent and led the way obediently.
The so-called unexplored ruins were actually the great discovery that Mitt had described to Lu Li before.
Explorers from a small settlement discovered an underground ruin in the endless forest, and all the clues revealed therein pointed to the gods.
The settlement had actually been taken over by Kil'jaeden a long time ago, but the goblins inside had been almost "consumed" within two days.
That was why Kil'jaeden came to the Horde, thinking that it would be better to 'take over everything' than to 'supplement a few', and directly let the goblins of the entire Horde serve as consumables for exploring the ruins.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Lu Li and Evelina who were on their way to the big tribe to gather information, and were forced to change their plans.
"This is the outpost, a small settlement separated from the larger tribe."
After a while of traveling, Kil'jaeden stood in front of a camp filled with deathly aura, and introduced it to Lu Li and Evelina behind him in a nonchalant manner:
"I originally thought that relying on the sheer number of Gobelins, we would be able to gather information about the ruins."
"As a result, all the Goblins in the small settlement died, and they couldn't even get through the gate to the ruins."
"You two, are you still planning to move forward?"
After saying this, Kil'jaeden spread his hands and waited for a response.
"You mean, you've already used a small group of Goblins to explore the area, but found nothing?"
Lu Li glanced at the latter, his expression not changing.
"That's right." Kil'jaeden nodded in response.
"But you can't say that you found nothing."
"At least the deaths of those Goblins before helped me find a way to open the door to the ruins."
"But it hasn't been actually done yet, and no Goblin has ever entered the ruins to explore."
"The reason I bring this up now is simply to emphasize to you two once again that exploring ruins isn't just sightseeing. You absolutely mustn't rely on luck..."
Facing Kil'jaeden's earnest advice, Lu Li just raised his eyebrows.
With a sentence of "Since you are here, let's take a look first", he sent Kil'jaeden away.
When the accompanying Goblins saw the small settlement with all its compatriots gone and in ruins, their already frightened faces were filled with even more despair.
After hearing Kil'jaeden's nonchalant description, he nearly had a mental breakdown and was about to run away.
Even Babayak, who trusted 'Great Demon Li Yun' the most among the five Gobelins, found it difficult to control his instinctive fear of death, and his breathing became rapid.
Kil'jaeden saw all these performances, and the great demon who had just suffered a setback in front of Lu Li regained some confidence.
The five Gobelins accompanying them were obviously frightened.
Any slight trouble that comes next will have a devastating impact on the morale of the entire exploration team.
By then,
Evelina and Li Yun could only come out of the ruins in disgrace and accept the reality of being severely slapped in the face by him.
"Since you two still insist, I won't say much." Kil'jaeden, with the mentality of watching the show, took a quick step and led the way for the two.
"The entrance to the ruins is just ahead. Please follow me."
Led by Kil'jaeden, everyone entered the Endless Forest and continued forward for a while.
Finally, we came to a huge tree stump.
The tree stump itself has long lost all vitality. After years of erosion, its surface has shown signs of petrification.
Close to the ground, the tree roots bulge out, forming a small passage.
The short Gobelins can enter and exit freely, but Lu Li and others need to bend down to enter.
Kil'jaeden took out a glowing stone made of unknown material to use as a light and led the way in.
After walking a few dozen steps, the passage became wider.
However, there was no obvious bright spot in front of the exit.
Only sporadic fluorescence was faintly visible on the walls of the channel.
When you go deep into the channel, the number of fluorescent lights has increased to be enough to illuminate the entire field of vision, and the entire channel has become extremely wide from the initial narrowness and crampedness.
It feels like being in an underground square.
The flat ground was engraved with dense and obscure characters, radiating from the center to the surrounding areas.
The surrounding walls and the ceiling above are painted with various pictures.
There are human forms and strange beasts.
Some are even just a mess of lines, like a small animal entangled in a ball of yarn.
These individuals, whether acting alone or in groups, seemed to have a common goal, and in various ways that were both understandable and completely unclear, they were "looking" towards the center of the ceiling.
The image there was of a strange object that was sunken and had no specific shape.
From this thing, many chains that were also concave, but not as deep, shot out in all directions, as if they wanted to use these things to attack every individual drawn on the surrounding walls.
And among the dense chains, there is a hideous black and green monster.
It seemed to be an ally of the strange thing and was not affected by the chains.
On the contrary, it seemed to be doing its best to provide support to that strange thing.
Among the countless opponents, there is one who stands out.
It was an iron pagoda covered with intricate patterns and obscure inscriptions, holding a spear with an awe-inspiring righteousness.
Faced with the countless chains coming towards him, he not only did not retreat, but instead showed a tendency to accelerate forward.
When he saw this, Lu Li was completely shocked.
For nothing else,
It’s just because he has seen the three most conspicuous things on the mural in this underground square!
The strange object in the center that could launch chains was what the serpent of reincarnation, Uromaka, had presented through a visual image during his initial communication with the serpent. It most likely referred to the eternal night.
The hideous black and green monster in the chains looked unfamiliar in appearance, but the aura it exuded was undoubtedly that of Abhoth, the ancestor of the seven demons that had been seen in the ancient basin.
The iron pagoda that was speeding forward against the chains, with intricate patterns and obscure inscriptions engraved all over its body, was the 'professional equipment' that Lu Li had obtained in the professional secret realm.
Soul Armor!
