Chapter 1007: The door to the ruins of the Shadow Po

Chapter 1009 The Gate of the Shadow Poison Assassin League Ruins Opens 【Ask for a Monthly Ticket】

Jacques Picard, the ghost of the great adventure, found the black fang mark of the shadow poisonous assassins on one side of the broken wall.

The imprint on this side is quite vague, with traces of years of erosion all over it. It can be seen that it was originally a carving, but it is almost worn away now.

"Solon, Mavic, Kazia... take your men to clean up the floating soil there!"

Colby followed Zong Shen's order and brought a total of five squadrons of wolf cavalry.

As he spoke, he took out sixty shovels and pickaxes from his storage compartment, and asked the wolf cavalry to manually excavate the soft floating soil that buried the passage.

The burial depth of this channel is only a few meters, so there is no need to use the [Magic Energy Drilling Machine].

In addition, most of the floating soil is wind-eroded sand, blown from south to north by the monsoon, and finally accumulated here.

The effect of using [Magic Energy Drilling Machine] may not be as good as manual digging.

The five small groups of wolf cavalry at the scene, a total of sixty big men from the wild wolf tribe, each holding a shovel or pickaxe, was enough to dig through in a short time.

Since Colby received the power infused by the nine-pillar wolf spirit totem, he has a higher authority among the wolf cavalry, and all the warriors of the waste wolf tribe will instinctively feel awe of him.

It was a perfect fit for Colby to command the wolf cavalry.

When he gave an order, the wolf cavalry got off the wolf one after another, stepped forward to grab the shovel, and dug vigorously.

Zoe Babbitt also stopped the mixed prairie army horse and tied it to a dead tree nearby.

Then he followed the great adventurer, Jacques Picard, wandering around other ruins.

This is a serious ancient ruin, and the street where the ruins belonged to was still a very lively scene more than 10,000 years ago. Every time she thinks about it, she always feels a little embarrassed.

Taking advantage of the wolf cavalry digging the passage, Zoe and Jacques Picard really got something new.

"Miss Zoe, please dig here."

Suddenly, Jacques Picard pointed to the ruins of a low wall and asked Zoe to dig.

The ground here is not soft floating soil, but compacted hard soil, which makes it more difficult to dig.

But Zooey didn't think too much, she took out the iron pick, and after a few hard hoeings, a big hole was dug out.

Don't forget, she has been trained as an Avalon swordsman, and has attributes close to the fourth-level Avalon strong swordsman, so it is natural to dig holes with brute force.

Not long after, the tip of the black iron pick hit a hard object, and even burst out a string of sparks.

The force of the shock caused the pickaxe in Zoe Babbitt's hand to drop instantly, and it flew upside down for more than ten meters and stuck on the ground.

Zoe's tiger's mouth shook violently, and there was still a faint tearing pain.

But she didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and found a large anvil lying quietly at the bottom of the pit.

The iron pickaxe hit just now did not leave any traces on it.

She looked back at Jacques Picard, who nodded to her.

Then Zoe carried out the big anvil with her own hands. It was so heavy that the weight almost reached the limit of her strength.

Regardless of Zoe's soft and weak appearance, there are still dozens of strength attributes.

In other words, this seemingly ordinary anvil actually weighs no more than [Dragon Slaying Epee].

"call!"

Her silver-white swordsman's light armor was covered with dirt, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, which obviously took a lot of effort from her.

"Mr. Jacques, what is the origin of this anvil?"

Zooey exhaled heavily, and then asked curiously.

The translucent body of adventurer Jacques Picard floated in, circled the anvil, and came to a conclusion.

"This is the unique rune anvil of the Sanbao Dwarf Forging Guild."

"The original material is just the most perennial black iron, but after incorporating runes, it becomes very strong."

"Here, there may be the remains of the Three Forts Dwarf Forging Guild."

Its ghost body can transform from reality to reality, so it can touch this anvil.

After Jacques Picard wiped away the dirt on the surface, Zoe saw the Thunder Three Hammers emblem of the Three Castle dwarves.

This emblem is one of the many imprints of the three castle dwarves, representing the forging department of the three castle union.

She had seen related records in a book that recorded the story of the three castle dwarves, but now she witnessed it with her own eyes.

"Let's mark this place first."

"Wait for the completion of the excavation of the ruins of the Azshara branch of the shadow poison assassins before reporting to the lord."

Jacques Picard resumed his erratic ghost form, circling around Zoe's head.

Zoe Babbitt naturally had no objection to this, she was given the task of opening up the ruins of the Shadow Poison Assassin League.

Other than that, the rest are secondary tasks, and Zoe can still distinguish the primary from the secondary.

After she joined Zongshen's territory, she got the privilege of carrying a storage compartment. With the storage necklace on her chest, she was able to carry a large amount of supplies.

After confirming the value of this place, she left a specific hidden mark, and then put away the rune anvil, waiting to report the relevant situation to Zong Shen later.

On the other hand, the excavation of the channel of the Shadow Poison Assassin League remains is also in full swing.

Sixty wild wolves cooperated with each other and dug a pit more than three meters deep, seven or eight meters wide, and five or six meters long in ten minutes.

The excavated earth and gravel were piled up on both sides, and with the gasps of the men, the site seemed to be an archaeological camp.

In fact, only more than 30 men were digging under the pit, and the rest were helping to transfer the floating soil.

Under such circumstances, it took a total of about half an hour to dig up all the floating soil in the passage, revealing a rune gate glowing with black light.

The stone walls above and below the passage are basically intact, a bit like the entrance to the "subway" after the collapse.

"Report to Commander, the excavation is complete, and the rune gate below has been found."

Several wolf cavalry captains came forward to report.

Colby nodded solemnly, then turned around and shouted at Zooey.

"Master Zoe, you can come here!"

Hearing his call, Zoe Babbitt and Jacques Picard hurried back to their spot.

The two ignored the pleasantries and directly followed the passage to the gate of the rune to observe and study.

Zoe Babbitt is extremely fascinated by adventure science and archaeology, otherwise she would not want to aspire to become the first female adventurer in history.

As for Jacques Picard, let alone, he is a senior adventurer himself, and his achievements are only inferior to the legendary adventurer Tim Eckling.

The "Legendary" here is not the same as the legend of the legendary level, it represents the highest honorary title among adventurers.

"It really is the ancient rune gate."

"According to the direction of the runes, this gate incorporates the characteristics of runes such as shadow and poison."

"Not only has the normal defense capability, but also passively counterattacks the attacker."

Informed adventurer Jacques Picard, Specter, quickly came to a conclusion.

The adventurers of their generation are all human adventurers, so the ruins of Azshara are indeed ancient to him.

"Mr. Jacques is right."

"But this rune gate has been bombarded by chaotic forces."

"Look, there are traces of a large sacrificial fire spreading and burning in the upper right corner of the gate."

Zoe Babbitt didn't care about the dust in the passage, and focused on the archaeology of the rune gate.

By the way, he also pointed out a detail, which made Jacques Picard nod frequently.

If the original Jacques Picard just had the idea of ​​dawdling in his life, then the current him really has a heart for Zoe.

The two of them had a lively discussion, as if they were teaching on the spot.

Colby didn't urge him either, his task was to cooperate, not to command by acting on his behalf.

If this exploration task is not done well enough, the lord will naturally deal with it.

He is such a person who listens to commands and knows how to advance and retreat, abides by his duties and never oversteps.

Anyone who works with Colby doesn't have to worry about this guy overstepping his authority.

The accompanying wolf cavalry soldiers were also resting silently. They cleaned off the dust on their bodies and assembled again, waiting for the next order.

Digging took half an hour, and Zoe and Jacques spent another half hour researching.

It looks like they're interested in the rune crafting on the gate.

"Master Zoe, how is the situation down there?"

Colby was big and didn't go down, but he held a scimitar and was on guard at any time. As long as anything happened below, he would jump down immediately.

Facing his inquiry, Zooey turned back to the ground.

"This rune gate is not suitable for storming."

"It comes with a shadow and poison rune counterattack with an energy level of V."

"Especially the counterattack effect on melee combat is the most obvious."

"Fortunately, the lord gave me this key yesterday!"

Now Zoe can't see the slightest nervousness at all, but only strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

As she spoke, she took out a plain bronze key.

The appearance of this key is lacklustre, with neither runes nor jewels.

He is the [Master Key (Orange)] that can be used only 100 times (the appearance chapter is 693).

It can open the legendary rune gate, and the rune gate of the Shadow Poison Assassin League just meets the requirements.

When Zong Shen summoned Zoe yesterday, in addition to giving her the token of the Shadow Poison Assassin League, he also gave her the [Master Key (Orange)] to use. Looking at it now, it is really foresight.

After finishing speaking, she grabbed the key and came back to the gate of the rune, and found the trace of the rune lock in the middle.

After taking out the pick needle and cleaning out the mud clogged inside, she inserted the 【Master Key (Orange)】in.

The key took effect immediately, emitting a cloud of orange light, pouring into the depth of the lock like melted ice cream, and finally fitting and deforming perfectly according to the locking structure.

At the same time, the flickering light also changed from orange to black gray, which seemed to belong to the same power as the rune gate.

After all, the unlocking of the rune gate is not only the structure of the mechanical rivet lock, but also requires a perfect fit in the rune energy, and [Master Key (Orange)] can do this.

After confirming that the insertion is secure, Zoe twisted slightly, and the keyhole reversed half a circle, and the streamer on the surface of the rune gate burst into flashes for a moment.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp riveting sound, and the key in the lockhole was automatically pulled out.

Then the entire rune gate trembled violently.

Even the nearby ground was trembling, as if it had experienced a low-intensity earthquake.

"retreat!"

Zoe retreated one after another holding the [Master Key (Orange)], and the wolf cavalry above immediately dispersed.

The rune gate below was unlocked, but it did not open immediately because the gate was attacked and its structure was damaged and deformed.

This kind of rune gate and the ruins below are usually reinforced as a whole. Similar designs were common in the last era, including Azshara Sewer Fortress.

So now just trembling, but still can't open the door.

At this time, Colby suddenly took a step forward.

"Let me try it!"

He has a super high strength attribute of more than two thousand points, which has surpassed Moge Luoga, the head of the Heijin clan in the defensive challenge.

Therefore, Colby was about to manually open the deformed rune gate, but now it was just stuck, and the gate itself had been unlocked, so he would not be able to passively counterattack him.

"Please be careful!"

Zooey nodded. For now, the only plan is to let Colby go out.

I saw Colby put away the scimitar, and jumped into the passage.

After a while, he pried open a whole stone slab stuck to the rune gate and threw it on the ground.

Then the rune gate slowly opened a gap, and was finally completely pulled open by Colby with brute force.

The sharp rubbing sound echoed in the wilderness, and Colby seemed to be wrestling with the earth at this moment.

The power attribute of more than two thousand points, displayed in front of everyone through brute force, is undoubtedly quite shocking.

The upper and lower divisions of the rune gate and the deformed stone produced friction and extrusion, and the sparks shot out were like "burning electric welding". When he completely tore the rune gate open, even the terrain where the relic passage was located changed.

The airflow from the outside pours into the ruins that have been closed for many years~lightnovelpub.net~ The surging airflow brings out the turbidity of thousands of years ago.

Colby breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately returned to the ground, waiting for Zoe to make the next decision.

Ventilation of the ruins is a must, especially for ruins that have suffered catastrophe.

Rune reinforcement can ensure that the ruins will not be oxidized quickly, not to mention the airflow can also bring a lot of information.

For example, whether there is any residual poisonous gas inside, whether there is a strong dead spirit of the undead, whether there are other living breaths, these can be regarded as preliminary perception through the airflow.

After waiting for five or six minutes, Zoe gave the order to enter the passage behind the rune gate!

The two wolf cavalry warriors each held a [magic flashlight] and walked ahead to open the way.

Everyone is holding a piece of white spar in their hands for auxiliary lighting.

At the same time, two teams of wolf cavalry were left on guard, and only then did they file into the passage!
