255 Entering the Mythical Ruin

Su Wan felt a little jealous because he referred to them so informally. Meanwhile, Xu Yuan’s gaze was focused on the mountain range in front of him.

The wind whistled around them.

Su Wan stood by him in silence.

People usually couldn’t overcome the temptation and impatience when they saw a mythical ruin, which was the reason they ended up dead. However, Su Wan and Xu Yuan weren’t swayed by those emotions. They wanted to take every precaution to explore the ruins safely.

Half an hour later, Shi Linglong and the others returned to report on what they had found. Only then did Xu Yuan feel at ease.

Su Wan took out the key that the Dark Enchanter had given her. She inserted it into the lock.

The massive mountain range shook and sent tremors everywhere when the key was turned. Rocks fell from the mountaintop. The key was buried within. Su Wan was forced to retreat.

“Everyone, retreat for now! Leave this valley!” Xu Yuan shouted. He felt that something was wrong.

The mountain range shook and dislodged giant rocks from above. Boulders and dust rolled down like an avalanche. This was something that couldn’t be solved with human capabilities.

Xu Yuan swooped down, grabbed Su Wan, and flew up into the sky before she was buried underneath the rubble.

The crater they had been standing on was buried by rocks and boulders that fell from above. Su Wan looked carefully to make sure no one was crushed beneath it. She heaved a sigh of relief.

The dust flew everywhere. It was difficult to see.

After a long while, the place finally returned to its previous calm. What appeared in front of them blew their minds.

The mountain range was like an enormous goddess that had shorn off its cloak to reveal its true form.

There were nine giant bronze doors. The archway in the middle was about 100 meters tall. Numerous runes were engraved on it. They shone with a faint bronze light.

The door had a giant life-like figure of a wizened wizard in a luxurious robe engraved on it. The engravings were so realistic and vivid that no mortal craftsman could have made something like that. It would probably take a hundred years to get those details right.

On the left and right of the main gate, there were four sub-gates. These secondary doors were also carved with mages of different shapes and sizes. They looked extraordinary.

The whole scene blew their minds. Who could have built something this massive and spectacular? They were all curious to find out what kind of ruins existed within.

Even Xu Yuan was left speechless. The nine bronze doors were too beautiful to look at.

Su Wan suddenly saw something familiar and pointed to the door on the right. “The key is over there!”

Just as she was about to retrieve it, a notification appeared in everyone’s minds.

[Mythical Ruins discovered. The ruin might contain risks as well as opportunities. One might find a divine artifact or be cursed by a forbidden spell. Please explore with caution.]

Xu Yuan activated the True Eye of the Demon Dragon to check the ruin.

[Hero Mage Tower]

[Level: Mythical]

[Deputy Sect Threat Level: Danger gradually increases]

[Main Sect Threat Level: Extremely High]

[Note: Mythical Ruins cannot be upgraded]

Fortunately, the Deputy Sect threat level was somewhat small. They walked to the bronze door on the far right. Even though it was the smallest door when compared to the others, it was still 30 meters tall. An average human felt as small as a dwarf when standing in front of it.

An image of a fat mage with a big belly was engraved on the door. The mage had a kind face and gentle eyes.

The bronze door rippled like water and gradually became translucent. The fat mage did not disappear. Instead, it seemed to become more vivid.

“Welcome, children!” The engraving had a gentle voice.

Su Wan suddenly raised her head. Was the engraving alive? Before she could react, she saw the statue wave the staff in its hand.

The next second, everyone felt a strong force surge toward them. Their vision blurred. When they came back to their senses, they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment.

It was an arched hall of about 200 meters wide and 30 meters tall. Three pitch-black passageways led to unknown places.

The ceiling was carved with colorful patterns like something one would find in a luxurious palace. The surrounding walls seemed to be made of metal and shone with a faint light.

A little far away, a magic lamp illuminated everything. Although the hall wasn’t bright, they could still see the surroundings.

The unfamiliar environment made everyone vigilant. Su Wan turned and found that all her troops were with her. She let out a sigh of relief. All of them had been teleported in!

[You have entered the ruins and are free to explore!]

The notification appeared in everyone’s mind, making them even more alert.

Zhao Qingrong clasped the hilt of her sword tightly. Her eyes were sharp.

Some kind of machinery veered and startled them. From the three black passageways, footsteps could be heard.

“Troops, retreat against the wall!”

“Warriors, guard the front!”

“Night Devil Bees, if anything attacks, you will try to disrupt their formation by stinging them. Protect the mages and the archers!”

Su Wan gave orders to the troops.

Xu Yuan shook his head. He had no intention of attacking or defending their group. If anything attacked, it would be an opportunity for the troops to train.

He cast an ability on Su Wan and retreated. The little butterfly and Flower Fairy followed him and watched.

“As expected, another day of being used as a tool!” Su Wan murmured as she saw Xu Yuan retreat.

However, she had faith in him. Xu Yuan usually knew what to do in any situation. If there was a strong enemy nearby, he wouldn’t leave her to fight alone.

That meant that anything present was weak enough for her and the troops to defeat on their own.

The footsteps approached. Zhao Qingrong held her breath. The most fearful thing was the unknown. When they couldn’t see the enemy clearly, they were bound to be scared.

Under the illumination of the magic lamps, magic puppets appeared from the passages. They were two and a half meters tall. Their bodies were made of greenish-gray metal, which looked very solid. They looked human-like, and their eyes emitted a white light.

The magic puppets attacked at once. They were numerous in numbers. When the magic puppets detected their presence, their eyes turned red.

“Intruder alert! Kill them!”

The magic puppets spoke in a mechanical voice. Their hands were strange. The wrists split open and two sharp blades with serrated teeth appeared out of them.

Those sharp blades were about half a meter long. The magic puppets had turned into killing machines.
