"able to pass!?"
After hearing the words of the old man in purple, many people in the crowd were stunned for a moment, and then an ugly expression appeared on their faces.
"How could it be passed! The Purple Charm Gate had clearly reacted just now. Under such circumstances..."
Several people are still very unconvinced, especially the Rothschild family. For them, the Lan family is the biggest competitor. In the most recent days, the atmosphere between the two sides in the territory has been tense, with constant battles. , now that you enter the plague ruins, you will definitely not be able to avoid fighting in it. If the Lan family can get one less top combat force in, it will be very good news for them.
"Are you questioning me?"
The cold voice of the purple-clothed old man reached everyone's ears. The expressions of those who had shouted the most joyfully suddenly changed. They spit out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground.
At this moment, the whole place fell silent, and they realized what kind of being they had just been talking to.
That was an extraordinary strong man. I was really impatient and actually questioned what an extraordinary strong man said in public.
With this warning, all the voices raising questions disappeared, and calm returned to the top of the platform.
The old man in purple glanced at Zhang Xiaoman, who noticed that the other man's gaze seemed to linger for a moment on the earthly bottle worn on his waist, intentionally or unintentionally.
"What a vicious eye!"
He couldn't help but secretly marvel, but he speeded up a few steps and merged into the team of Lan Gu and others in front.
The inspection in front of the Purple Charm Gate continued. Nothing unexpected happened next. The huge team of explorers quickly passed through. Everyone formed a circle at this end of the light gate and waited. stand up.
"Look! The ruins have appeared!"
It seemed like a few days had passed. Just as everyone was closing their eyes and preparing, someone suddenly pointed to the location in the circle and exclaimed.
Zhang Xiaoman also felt the energy fluctuation there immediately, opened his eyes and looked over.
In front of him, the place where the giant magic circle was originally engraved suddenly lit up, and immediately a green light appeared, shining in front of everyone's eyes.
The green light appeared very suddenly, and would disappear after just a moment. But at this moment, the magic circle below lit up, as if it had caught the green light and locked it firmly in the middle.
The magic circle was operating, and huge spiritual power was stimulated. Countless people watched this scene intently. The green light was being torn apart crazily by the magic circle in front of everyone's eyes. The more it tore, the bigger it was. Finally, the light continued to expand, forming a Gundam. The 100-meter dimensional gate.
"This is the entrance to the plague ruins! It only appears once every five hundred years. This must be the seventh time! These sages are really good at it! They caught this opportunity so easily!"
Some people couldn't help but sigh.
The old men sitting in the void all opened their eyes. Light surged in their hands, and majestic spiritual power was injected into the magic circle below, maintaining the operation of the magic circle.
"It's time to start. The rules are the same as before. This time the exploration will last up to two years. After two years, the entrance and exit to the plague ruins will be closed. If you don't return before then, you will have to be trapped inside."
The old man Jinlong spoke, and what he said made many people feel nervous for a while.
Although they already knew the time limit for the exploration, when they were reminded by the old man Jinlong at the thought of being trapped in the plague ruins for two years, everyone still couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"I heard that the power to communicate with the dimension in the plague ruins can operate on its own after being closed, absorbing the essence of the universe and resetting the entire world. If you are locked in at this time... tsk tsk, what will happen? I’m afraid even if the extraordinary level comes, it won’t be able to withstand it..."
"Yes, hasn't a similar situation happened before? It seems that when the entrance to the ruins was opened five hundred years ago, an elder from the Duluo clan was trapped inside. It should have been
He is dead, otherwise he would have rushed out as soon as the entrance opened. It seems that there are still a few peak control level beings, which is really embarrassing..."
"Tsk, those guys from the Duluo Clan used to be arrogant because they knew a little bit about using poisons. Every time they came to explore the ruins, they didn't look down on people from other families. It's better now. In the end, being arrogant doesn't matter. It will end well, let’s see if they get more crazy in the future!”
"..."
There were faint sounds of conversation among the crowd, and Zhang Xiaoman listened with his ears straightened, trying to collect as much information as possible about the ruins.
Time passed slowly as everyone waited. Several families present entered in a certain order, and each family entered one day apart.
Zhang Xiaoman inquired and found out that this order seemed to be arranged based on the resources that everyone spent on carving the entrance circle. Several extraordinary level experts made the arrangements in unison, and no one dared to complain.
The Lan family was the fifth to enter. Before them, the Rothschild family entered first.
"Hmph, these people are willing to spend resources in order to enter the ruins one step ahead!"
Lan Gu looked at the Rothschild family ship that had disappeared from sight and couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Zhang Xiaoman is not interested in the feud between the two families. His mission this time is to help the Lan family explore the ruins. After he goes out, he and Lan Gu and others will no longer owe each other. Regarding the dozen or so people after the disintegration of the Dark Star Alliance, He really didn't have the energy to participate in the fight between the elders.
"Attention! We have now entered the plague ruins. The surrounding gravity has increased significantly, and the dark spiritual power has fluctuated to a certain extent. The spacecraft immediately started low-altitude flight mode and reduced its travel speed to avoid overloading the dark spiritual power engine!"
The voice of the fleet commander came intermittently from the communication channel. The dark spiritual power fluctuated greatly here, and even the communication was interfered with to a certain extent. The spacecraft had to slow down greatly to prevent it from being attacked by the violent dark spiritual power. Devoured by the storm.
Zhang Xiaoman looked around. The place where he stood was a patch of mottled land, and the surrounding area was full of desolate scenes. The sky was gray-green, and countless energy storms were jumping in the distance. It looked like he had arrived at a planet with an extremely dangerous environment. planet.
"Is this the remains of the plague? The living environment is very harsh. Fortunately, my spiritual breath sequence has reached the fourth stage. Coupled with my physique strengthened by the fourth star pattern, it is still very easy to adapt to the environment here. Easy……"
Zhang Xiaoman felt the state of his body and found that his activities were not affected at all. This was when he felt relieved.
Turning around, he saw that the other Darklings who were following him all looked more or less uncomfortable at the moment. He could feel that the movements of these people were obviously much stiffer than outside. It seemed that They were greatly affected by the environment, that is, they were all control-level beings. If they had been replaced by the weaker Qiling-level ones, let alone fighting in the plague ruins, they might not be able to do even the most basic actions. .
Those who collect troops can only wear special small armor if they want to go out to collect resources. With their strength, once they are actively exposed to such an environment, they will definitely get a box lunch as soon as possible.
"Be careful. The reconnaissance team spreads out and explores the surrounding environment. The others will stay put for now!"
This is not the first time that Lan Gu has come in. He also has some experience in exploring plague ruins, and now he takes on the role of commander-in-chief.
The entrance to the plague ruins opens in a different position every time, and after five hundred years of internal resource reset, the mountains and landscapes here will also undergo great changes, so I want to make a map directly based on past explorations. , is obviously impossible, and everyone can only temporarily draw a new map.
Soon, the investigation team that went out to explore came back, and a simple virtual map image appeared in front of everyone.
"We set off in this direction. According to the report of the reconnaissance team, there are no traces of other families' actions here yet, but we still should not be careless. The Rothschild bastards are very cunning. Maybe this is a trap they deliberately arranged.
It’s not necessarily true, everyone must be vigilant at all times! "
Everyone chose a direction and set off. They needed to leave here as soon as possible before the next group of people came in. Otherwise, if the two families met at the entrance, they would probably start fighting on the spot.
Of course, as Lan Gu said, it is not ruled out that someone will set up an ambush here to specifically snipe those enemies who pose a greater threat to themselves outside. However, the possibility of this happening is not high. Come on, everyone. The main purpose here is to collect resources. If there is a fight at the entrance, others will definitely take advantage of it. Even if our side wins the battle in the end, it will be difficult to continue to have the remaining strength to collect resources. Yes, the gain outweighs the loss.
The Lan family's troops began to advance. Zhang Xiaoman, Lan Gu and other elders all entered the spacecraft to preserve their strength and deal with the battle that may come at any time, while there will be control-level experts taking turns to guard the outside. When faced with a sneak attack, you can respond immediately to avoid being caught off guard.
Zhang Xiaoman settled down in the room of the spaceship and began to wait for the collection team to find the resource points, which took more than ten days.
He originally thought that traveling within the ruins would be full of dangers, but now it seems that it is not as difficult as he imagined.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaoman ended his practice and stood up.
He knows that the current stability is only a superficial phenomenon, and the exploration of the ruins has just begun. He and others may just be lucky and have not run into any trouble so far, but he cannot take it lightly. In the name of the plague ruins, , even if an extraordinary existence comes here, there may be a risk of overturning.
Putting his spiritual thoughts into the earthly bottle at his waist, Zhang Xiaoman took out a small jade token with a Star Alliance logo imprinted on it. He planned to try it to see if he could use the star ring in it. to transmit.
Putting the jade sign with the Star Alliance logo on the table, Zhang Xiaoman tried to launch infinite teleportation on it, and it successfully appeared directly next to the jade sign.
"Can!"
His face looked slightly excited.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't wait to do the test of teleportation to the outside world. When the infinite teleportation was activated, he successfully felt the status of the target teleportation point as usual, and he could leave this space with just a thought.
"It sure works!"
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but be a little excited.
The next second, his figure completely disappeared from his room and appeared in a certain tavern in Irene continent.
Immediately afterwards, the infinite teleportation was used again, and Zhang Xiaoman's figure reappeared in the spaceship inside the plague ruins.
"Success!"
He couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
"As expected, infinite teleportation can leave this space. This will make many of my next actions much easier."
Zhang Xiaoman set up layers of restrictions around the jade plaque to prevent anyone from discovering any clues.
And the reason why he was so excited was because this infinite teleportation brought him a great degree of surprise.
According to the rules in the Plague Ruins, the ability to teleport cannot be used at all, let alone teleportation. Even skills such as flash cannot be used, and the space ring cannot be opened. If you want to enter or exit, you can only use it. The magic circle at the entrance to the ruins passed.
However, Zhang Xiaoman is different. His Pole Star Ring has the ability to infinitely teleport. The infinite here means "will not be restricted". The Pole Star Ring is also the ultimate prop, so even within the plague ruins, No matter how strong the space restriction is, it can't stop him from leaving here.
This also means that Zhang Xiaoman can enter and leave this world anytime and anywhere.
Not only limited to this exploration, but also two years later, when the exploration is over, others can only leave from the plague ruins, but Zhang Xiaoman can still use the Star Alliance beacon and infinite teleportation to travel here and back.
In other words, he can already regard the plague ruins as
His own back garden, and he will be the only one in the entire ruins. Then he can use the resources here as he wants.
Zhang Xiaoman was very excited. It seemed that in addition to the plague ruins, there were many other ruins that he could take the opportunity to explore.
How wonderful it will be to think of the scene where all the ruins have Star Alliance beacons placed in them. The resources of the Star Alliance will also be continuously supplied, and great breakthroughs will be made in a short period of time. This is simply more comfortable than cheating!
