Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

"You have been standing here for more than half an hour. What did you see inside the black pillar?"

Jiang Yingxue's questioning voice came from the left, and it could be heard that she had been waiting very anxiously during this period.

"This central totem has been controlled by the core of the illusion, and Gogol's soul is also inside."

The concise description shocked both Jiang Yingxue and Aaron. In their minds, Gogol had died in the previous outpost research base.

"Is there any secret passage between the outpost research base and this ancient ruins?"

This was Jiang Yingxue's first reaction. After saying it, she was even more surprised that Gogol's soul existed here.

“Gogol’s soul is inside, has he taken control of this ancient ruins?

Was he responsible for the previous attack?

What happened between you and him among the black pillars?

You left so easily. Did you just chat with him for half an hour? "

The questions in Jiang Yingxue's mind poured out like beans from a bamboo tube. After speaking, she glanced at the crystal core in Bai Ning's hand.

At this time, the crystal core was obviously much darker, and it was unknown whether the remnant soul stored inside was sucked into the black pillar.

"These problems are not important yet. Let's rescue Ivan and others first. If it's a little later, they may be completely destroyed."

Bai Ning moved his body and quickly moved closer to the tunnel pointed out by the core of the illusion.

Upon hearing that Bai Ning had also obtained information about Ivan and others, Jiang Yingxue could only follow him in confusion.

The three of them dug hard together, and finally saw a passage blocked by fine dust. They continued digging for more than ten meters, and a dark hole was revealed.

When the strong flashlight shines down, the space below is still covered with a lot of dust, and only a small space is barely supported by some larger stones.

The three of them reluctantly got in, and a faint fishy smell spread along the weak air, like a smell that occurs when animals live in groups.

"This is indeed a lair for rat-like creatures."

Along the way in the narrow tunnel, there are traces of biological survival everywhere. A large amount of fallen hair can be seen everywhere, and some biological residues are even more shocking.

Finally, after detouring for more than a hundred meters, they finally arrived at a very open area. Seeing some young rats moving around, Jiang Yingxue finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Cross this area carefully, our destination is not here."

Bai Ning whispered a little urging behind him, and the three of them moved gently among the rocks, and finally came to the corridor that led directly to other areas.

As soon as he stepped in, Bai Ning smelled a faint smell of blood in the outflowing air. People had died in this tunnel.

Aaron was exploring the road ahead as always, and the three of them moved forward as quickly as possible while being cautious. It didn't take long before they discovered several naked bodies in front of them.

Judging from the strong smell of blood around it, it must have just died, and it was most likely that it was used as food by rat-shaped creatures.

The three people stepped forward and took a quick look. They were all dead with missing arms and legs. The remaining facial organs proved their white identity.

"The body is in the stage of rigor mortis and death will not take long."

Aaron made a brief judgment, which seemed to indicate that Ivan and others might still survive.

"I didn't hear any gunshots or explosions. They may be very far away from us."

Jiang Yingxue also added immediately. Just after he finished speaking, a familiar "swishing" sound suddenly came, indicating that the rat-shaped creature had arrived.

Now is not the time for a conflict with rat-shaped creatures. The three of them are now in the downwind, and the smell of blood on the corpses covers the smell. As long as they stay quiet, they will not be discovered.

The sound of "rustling" came and went even faster, and the fresher smell of blood filled the entire tunnel. The three of them came closer and took a closer look, and found that these corpses were fresher, and some seemed to be bleeding.

"With such fresh corpses, does it mean that Ivan and others have been completely destroyed?"

There was no gunfire and the body was so fresh. Aaron was a little hard to accept it at this time.

Ivan's death is not a pity, but Xiaohu and Lone Wolf are still in Ivan's team. The three of them are brothers and sisters. Even a tough guy like Aaron can't hide the sadness in his heart.

“There was no sound of gunfire, so maybe they were trapped in a secret room, or maybe something around them had good sound-absorbing effects.

What the specific situation is, you have to see it with your own eyes to know the result. "

Based on the previous clues, the Fantasy Core should use Bai Ning's power to compete with the Management Core. Even if it wants to trick Bai Ning, it will not directly die in this way.

Based on this, Bai Ning feels that it is still necessary to continue looking for Ivan and others.

After hearing Bai Ning's judgment, Jiang Yingxue just waved her hand, signaling Aaron to continue to clear the way ahead.

Not long after, the three of them had arrived at the end of the tunnel. What they saw was a more open space, and they could see shadows within the light range, as if they suddenly appeared in a dense forest at night.

"What is here?

A fantasy maze? "

Looking at the green plants that appeared in his field of vision, Jiang Yingxue asked instinctively.

"no.

This should be the place where the ancient ruins used to keep animals in captivity. It's just that it's night in the ancient ruins, so it's pitch dark here. "

The sudden appearance of the fantasy maze was meaningless, so Bai Ning's first reaction was the real scene.

“That’s not a good thing either.

The giant creatures, scavengers, and rat-like creatures we encountered before were not easy to mess with.

Now once we step into it, it may be really dangerous. "

Going into a dense forest infested with wild beasts at night is extremely dangerous from any angle. Jiang Yingxue didn't think Bai Ning would take such a big risk for Ivan and others.

Even if there are Xiaohu and Lone Wolf in Ivan's team, this is also the problem of Aaron and Jiang Yingxue. Bai Ning will never do anything irrational because of the changes of these two people.

At this time, she pointed out this point in a subtle way, just to see what Bai Ning wanted to do.

At this time, Jiang Yingxue was also a little confused. Ever since Bai Ning came into contact with the black pillar, he seemed to have opened the whole map, quickly finding the tunnel hidden in the dust pile, and set his current first goal to find Yi. Ten thousand.

Such unusualness must mean that there must be something big happening in Bai Ning's heart.

"No matter how dizzy Ivan is, no matter how urgently he is chased by the beasts, he will not go deeper into the dense forest.

The space here is basically a very huge underground secret room, so Ivan is most likely moving against the wall.

What we have to bet on now is whether to go left or right. "

Bai Ning did not respond directly to Jiang Yingxue's question, and the current topic was still limited to Ivan.

"To the right, the rat-shaped creature ran out of the dense forest on the right."

As Aaron spoke, he pulled the two of them toward the stone wall to avoid the large number of rat-like creatures rushing out of the dense forest.

Seeing this scene, the three of them no longer hesitated and moved directly along the stone wall on the right into the depths of the jungle.

After walking a few hundred meters away, the three of them seemed to be able to faintly hear the aftermath of gunshots floating in the air.

"There were gunshots and they were still resisting."

Finally meeting Ivan and others, and revealing the secret of Bai Ning's search for Ivan, Jiang Yingxue was very excited and was about to run in the direction of the gunfire.

"Don't worry.

There was movement in the nearby dense forest. "

Aaron grabbed Jiang Yingxue, who was charging forward, and pointed to a bush not far away. There was a rustling sound inside, as if something was moving.

"Don't shoot, it's me."

Just as Bai Ning was about to shoot the creature out of the bush, a low Russian voice suddenly came from inside. The tone sounded like Ivan's.

The three of them quickly approached and took a look, and found that it was Ivan lying on the ground, his legs were bright red, and he was obviously seriously injured.

"Why are you alone? Where are the others?

What happened to the gunshot just now? "

Jiang Yingxue asked a few questions in Russian. Based on Ivan's greed for life and fear of death, it seemed that he knew without asking that he must have seen that the situation was not right and took advantage of the chaos to escape alone.

Everyone is dead except for Ivan. This gathering seems to have become worthless.

"The last wave of beast attack was too strong, so everyone broke out. The people who followed me met a wave of rats. Everyone else was dead, and I was the only one left."

Ivan's tone was sad, and he seemed to be very sad and angry about his own experience, and he seemed to be feeling unworthy of the death of his men.

"Where are the second and third children?

Are they dead too? "

After hearing Jiang Yingxue's translation, Bai Ning directly interjected and asked.

You must know that they have not seen the second and third children among the previous corpses. Where can these henchmen who followed Ivan go?

Hearing this question, Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then he hammered the ground hard.

"During an earlier wave of beast herd offensive, the second and third sons were scattered. Their lives and deaths are now uncertain."

Ivan's small team of 100 people, coupled with a large number of heavy weapons, cannot possibly defeat the biological attacks here.

You must know that the carrying capacity of the underground ecosystem is limited, and the territory does not seem to be large. How can the herds of animals trapped in it be the opponents of Ivan and others?

"How many giant creatures are attacking you?

After so many actual battles, you should not be so vulnerable even if there is no perimeter explosive isolation zone. "

The worse Ivan's team was beaten, the greater the danger here. With the small weapons in their hands, it would be a bit impossible to successfully leave here.
