Douluo's Empty Cudgel

Chapter 18 Entrance to the Ruins
Lin Kong and the others entered the grassland again, and the battle plan to find the ruins began.

Although the general location of the ruins is known, the specific location has to be carefully searched.Lin Kong learned from Flender's words that this relic is extremely difficult to be discovered, and the method of opening the relic is also special, so no one knows about this relic, and even he himself came across it by accident .

"Brother Kong, there is a 3000-year-old green phosphorous snake ahead."

Li Hong's words brought Lin Kong back to his senses, and before they knew it, they had already reached the range where the thousand-year-old soul beasts in the grassland were active.

"Back back, find a way to go around, try not to conflict with the soul beast!"

Lin Kong told everyone to back off, and then set off from another direction. After all, they didn't come to get the soul ring this time. If there was no fight, it wouldn't happen. Everything was based on the ruins.

The Green Phosphorus Snake did not attack Lin Kong and the others, allowing the five of Lin Kong to escape smoothly. Seeing that they had successfully left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

The five people adjusted their orientation and continued to set off. However, the luck of a few of them was not very good. Before walking for a long time, they met a 5000-year-old armored rhinoceros by the edge of a water source. .

There is no way, Lin Kong and the others can only be forced to fight. Although the double-horned iron-armored rhinoceros is a 5000-year-old soul beast, but Lin Kong and his party are all soul masters. lost.But they didn't kill them, they just held the armored rhinoceros in the water, and then left. The immediate priority is to find the ruins.

But I don't know if it's because they were unlucky, they encountered spirit beasts one after another in the future journey, and they were all thousand-year-old spirit beasts.One or two and five people can hold on, but sometimes two come together, sometimes three or four, Lin Kong and the others can only escape, they can't fight, they can't fight.

"Hey! Why are there so many soul beasts! Did we go the wrong way!"

Once again escaping from the mouth of the 8000-year-old soul beast, Wang Le was a little out of breath.The others, even Lin Kong himself, had some doubts. Did they take a detour and get the wrong direction? They couldn't figure it out, so they could only move on:
"Let's go around, if there are ten thousand year soul beasts, we will withdraw. Not only will we not be able to defeat them, but we may also give up our lives."

Everyone went around and found that something was wrong. Using them as the boundary, they went around to the right. The spirit beast on the left was much higher than the spirit beast on the right.Everyone felt that this road was impassable, so they returned to the original point and prepared to turn left.Then they discovered that the spirit beast on the right was much higher than the one on the left.

Everyone looked at each other, and continued to go around in a very tacit understanding. Finally, they found that the spirit beasts in this area formed a circle. The further they walked into the circle, the higher the age of the spirit beasts. There seemed to be something in the center of the circle that attracted them. Let them gather here.

"Tsk tsk, if you don't pay attention, you really can't find it. Captain, do you want to go to the center to have a look?"

Zhou Baichuan asked Lin Kong if he wanted to visit the center, and Lin Kong replied without hesitation:
"Go, why not. There is a high probability that the center of this circle is the ruin we are looking for."

"But there are so many soul beasts, how can we pass under their noses."

Li Hong was not very optimistic about the next action, and Lin Kong was also worried when he heard the words. At this time, a voice floated:
"How about we kill it?"

"!!!
???

Whose genius suggested this? "

Lin Kong said unhappily, and Wang Le on the side shrank his neck.

"Or the disaster will be diverted to the east, and let them fight themselves."

Li Hong thought of the fact that he and Lin Kong had obtained the first ring, and made a suggestion, but Chiens refuted him:

"There are too many soul beasts, it's too difficult to fight all the soul beasts here, it's not realistic."

"Then what should we do, we can't go there directly, we were beaten back."

……

Everyone discussed for a long time, but there was no good result. Seeing that it was getting late, they had to find a place to set up camp and prepare to rest.

The next day, everyone packed their bags and prepared to leave.There was no good result from the discussion last night, everyone could only use the most stupid method, pretending to lurk, praying that they would not be discovered.

Lurking for the first time, Li Hong looked around and felt that a soul beast would appear at any moment, so he shivered:
"Brother Kong, I'm afraid, and Kiens, get closer to me."

Lin Kong patted Li Hong on the shoulder, wanting to comfort him, but Li Hong suddenly yelled, the sleeping prairie lion king woke up, everyone looked at each other, set Li Hong up and fled.

The second time, Wang Le explored the road and bumped into two wolf-like soul beasts that were breeding offspring. Needless to say, the five were chased in a panic.

The third time, Lin Kong explored the road, and the result was the same as the last two times. He encountered a spirit beast and had to retreat.

Although the first three times were unsuccessful, Lin Kong and the others also figured out the general route. For the fourth time, they carefully avoided one after another soul beasts, and finally saw what the central area looked like.

In the center of the circle is a hollow, circular, surrounded by five prominent hills, and nothing else.But there is not a single soul beast here, and those soul beasts outside seem not interested in this, and have been staying outside.

"Did we make a mistake in our judgment? There is nothing in this kind of place, so we won't make a trip in vain."

Wang Le was a little disappointed, at this time Chiens also said:
"Aren't you afraid if the spirit beasts outside this place don't come? Is it possible that there is a ten thousand year spirit beast here?"

Li Hong was taken aback:
"Thousand-year soul beast, Qiens, don't scare me!"

"It's unlikely. If there were soul beasts, they would have come out earlier. We've been here for a long time, and we haven't seen any soul beasts. Captain, what do you think?"

Zhou Baichuan didn't think there would be a soul beast, but he was not sure, so he wanted to know Lin Kong's opinion.

Looking at the five hills, Lin Kong always felt weird, but he found nothing unusual when he walked around the hills. At this moment, he heard Zhou Baichuan's inquiry, and expressed his opinion:

"I think it should be here. These small hills should be the key point. Everyone should think of a way."

The five circled around the hill, and finally Li Hong contacted:

"Since you can't see anything, let's dig."

Lin Kongyi summed it up, so let's dig. After digging, he found a stone slab with strange lines on it. Everyone was refreshed and went to the other four places to dig. Sure enough, every hill had a stone slab. slate.

These stone slabs seemed to be rooted in the ground, Lin Kong gathered the strength of five people, and the stone slabs did not move at all.Li Hong scratched the stone slab with a dagger, but there was not even a mark on the slate. Others tried it too, and the result was the same.

Lin Kong looked at the five stone slabs fixedly, and suddenly patted his head: Isn't the boundary of the depression plus these five slates a pentagram, which looks like a magic circle.

Immediately, Lin Kong tried it, inputting his soul power into the slate, and sure enough, the lines on the slate became brighter, but there was no change.

"This should be to inject soul power into the five stone slabs together. You go to the other four stone slabs. Let's come together."

Lin Kong guessed that this should be a magic circle that can only be opened by five people, so he asked him to give it a try.

"Are you all ready? I'll count one, two, three, let's go together!"

"one two Three!"

With the infusion of soul power, the five stone slabs seemed to be connected, and there was movement in the center of the depression.
