The desert is silent at night, except for the sound of the wind blowing from time to time.
However, the starry sky here is particularly magnificent. The stars are densely scattered in the sky. There are no clouds to block it, and the silver stars like ribbons can be seen at a glance.
Jiang Bai helped Hu Tao soothe the tight muscles in her calves after a long journey. He was about to ask her to watch the stars together, but found that she had fallen asleep unknowingly on the chair.
Glancing at the two mercenary group members who were sitting in front of the fire to watch and play cards, Jiang Bai yawned and went back to the tent to sleep with Hutao in his arms.
The temperature is low at night, so in order to prevent the hall master from freezing, he has to hold him to keep warm.
After sleeping peacefully until dawn, Hutao took off the hand around his waist, sat up and stretched.
Jiang Bai opened his eyes drowsily, "What time is it?"
"have no idea."
After walking out of the tent, Aite was already preparing breakfast, while Jiang Bai and Hu Tao ate the ready-made ones.
The good thing about bringing a guide is that you don't have to worry about eating, setting up camp and keeping watch. The experienced mercenary group has experience in facing various situations. As long as they don't encounter a particularly powerful enemy, Jiang Bai and Hu Tao don't need to take action at all.
Jiang Bai calculated how much remuneration he would have to pay when the commission was completed. Although he said that letting them serve as bodyguards and guides was an apology, he felt sorry for not saying anything to them for being so dedicated to them.
"Just rest here today, I'm going to study this ruins guard."
"knew."
Jiang Bai, who had eaten and drank enough, walked to the palm of the ruins guard's hand and fiddled with it.
Judging from yesterday's study of the entire ruins guard structure, Jiang Bai felt that the entrance to the interior should be in the palm of his hand.
Although the soles of the feet are also possible entrances, compared to rationality and convenience, the hands are more suitable.
Moreover, the hands of such ruin guards are usually very long and can easily hang to the ground. It is only reasonable to enter the control room at the suspected core position through the passage of the hand.
Jiang Bai studied it and found that there was a door here. The spiral door was currently closed. Jiang Bai fiddled with it and found the open mechanism.
Reaching out and pressing it, the spiral door that had not been opened for a long time made a heavy creaking sound. A burst of sand fell from the gap, and a long, dark passage appeared in front of you.
"Yeah, you can really go in. Come in and have a look!"
Hu Tao couldn't wait to walk in. Entering this ancient large machine, there was a sense of joy and excitement of treasure hunting.
The shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the metal space. Jiang Bai held the lighting tool and looked at the huge passage that was enough to accommodate a dozen people walking side by side.
Follow the arm all the way up and soon come to the shoulder.
Once here, the space suddenly opens up.
However, their way was blocked by a door. No matter how Jiang Bai fiddled around, he couldn't find the mechanism to open the door.
"Strange, does it need to be charged or something? What kind of energy does this thing use..." Jiang Bai had a headache.
From the outside, this ruins guard is quite intact and should not be broken. In this case, there is a high possibility that there will be no energy.
But the question is, where will they find energy?
"Look at me."
With that said, Hu Tao's figure turned into a butterfly, passed directly through the metal gate, and came behind the gate.
After entering, the little ghost came out of the door and made faces at Jiang Bai.
I can’t get through, just a little bit~
"Damn it! You are cheating!"
He wants to report someone cheating here!
"Hall Master, what's going on inside?" Jiang Bai shouted at the top of his lungs.
"It's completely dark, but I saw a few glowing crystals. I wonder if they are energy sources..."
Hu Tao tentatively removed a crystal not far away and placed it in a groove at the entrance. The moment he put it in, the area near the door became brighter.
Hutao pressed what looked like a door-opening button, and the door slowly opened.
…
In a cave not far from the ruins guard, a group of soldiers were paying attention to what was going on here.
"Captain, the ruins guard has a mercenary group camped there. Should we go over and take a look?"
They are soldiers who have been stationed here for a long time, and their mission is to guard this huge ruin guard. Of course, guarding is just a rhetoric, and their real purpose is to study this ruin guard.
But they were stuck on the first step and couldn't get in.
The ruins guard lost its energy and could not even open the door.
In order to open the gate without destroying the internal structure, a team of their troops rushed to the Tukeluo Valley in the lower wind erosion area, preparing to intercept the energy block from the ruins guard that was damaged but full of energy and bring it back. Activate this ruin guard.
It's just that people have been away for a while, and it's a question of when they will come back.
"Go over and have a look!"
Just in case, the captain of the Fools Squad brought the blueprints of the ruins guards.
Aite quickly discovered this pair of armed Fool soldiers, and immediately took out his weapons and assumed a vigilant posture.
"This is the camp of the Sand Wolf Mercenary Group, what do you want to do!"
The team leader glanced at the opened door in the palm of the ruins guard's hand and frowned.
"superior!"
Originally they just wanted to expel them, but now it seems that the purpose of this mercenary group is to guard the ruins.
In this case, it cannot be good.
A fight started without any explanation, and the fools who were accustomed to being domineering would not explain their actions at all.
Although he is a little inferior in front of Jiang Bai, in terms of strength, Aite's strength is still very good.
As for the other people, it’s okay not to mention them.
"Lao Wu, you run the fastest, go in and ask for help!"
Aite made a decisive decision to call for support. This kind of enemy that he couldn't deal with could only be left to the two thighs.
"Boss, hold on!"
Although people had already rushed in to ask for help, Aite still tried his best to make the battle louder. Attacks continued to hit the arms of the ruins guards, and the sound of hitting the metal could easily be heard far away. .
"Huh? Did something happen outside?"
Jiang Bai soon heard the sound transmitted through the metal connection.
"Go out and have a look!"
The two of them quickly left along the entrance, and halfway there, they met Lao Wu who was moving rescuers.
"What's going on outside?"
"Fools! A crowd of fools came and started fighting without saying anything!"
"Fools? Why is it so sudden... Could it be that you are here for this ruin guard?"
Jiang Bai felt that this was the most likely possibility. Apart from Alfonso, they did not provoke any fools along the way.
Appearing suddenly and taking action without any explanation, there is no doubt that there is only one possibility.
"In that case, the Fools should have information about this ruin guard..."
These fools came at the right time.
