Chapter 3498: Ancient ruins

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Xuance's face was a bit tangled.
In the end, he still didn't get any information about Paradise Lost from Locke, and Locke also shook his head regretfully.
......
After another three hundred years, Lilith was experimenting in a private laboratory somewhere on the summit of the seventh peak. Locke continued to practice and beat the flesh in the courtyard outside the bone hall of the seventh peak. Suddenly Gongsun Xuance He rushed in violently.
"What's the matter?" The bare bone armor and the sharp barbs in the gap between the bone armor proved the toughness of Locke's body. In the face of Gongsun Xuance's sudden visit, Locke kept his cultivation movements unchanged and asked unhurriedly.
"Brother Locke, something big has happened!" Gongsun Xuance screamed.
"What's the matter?" Locke was still in a state of no rush.
Locke's mentality at this time has nothing to do with the Heart-Cleaning Curse that Gongsun Xuance gave him.
It was also the relationship that Gongsun Xuance didn't hesitate to give him an extremely precious Heart-Cleaning Mantra, and Locke could tolerate him coming here from time to time to play the autumn wind.
The Pure Heart Mantra is not any method of power cultivation, it is a mind method for tempering character and will.
Moreover, the content of the Qingxin Mantra is not much, just a few hundred words, but it implies extremely profound principles and laws.
Since cultivation is related to the law of emotions, the Qingxin Mantra is more useful to Locke.
Although it might not be able to give Locke much bonus in terms of strength, this kind of change of character is not a kind of growth for Locke.
At least whenever Locke feels upset and has a tyrannical and murderous intent in his heart, reading the Heart Clearing Mantra silently will make Locke feel a refreshing coolness.
"There are ruins! Ancient ruins!"
"From the news from the third peak, it is said that both the third and fourth peak owners have passed!" Gongsun Xuance said excitedly.
For existences like Gongsun Xuance and Locke that have entered the world of despair for thousands of years, the existence of many ancient relics in the world of despair is not so new.
Except for the relics of the Republic of Avondale that Locke had previously entered with the magic demon Riel and others, there are dozens of relics that Locke has heard, seen, and even entered in person over the years.
Most of these ruins are weathered and decayed, and they are relatively well-preserved like the ruins of the Republic of Avondale. There are even remains of secret treasures, almost none of them.
What is quite interesting is that before these ruins were thoroughly excavated and explored, they were distributed in many corners of the desperate world in the form of rules and dangers.
Some survivors have stayed in those rules for thousands of years, and their original intention was to return to the star realm by rules. But in the end, he never thought that the dangerous place he was in was just a relic left by ancient civilizations tens of thousands of years ago.
The so-called special rules of dangerous places are only the remaining power remaining in the ancient civilization relics.
Seeing Gongsun Xuance's excitement shows that this newly discovered remains is relatively well preserved.
The ancient civilization that can leave relics in the bitter cold place like the desperate world, its civilization height must at least reach the level of the Republic of Avondale.
Another factor that Gongsun Xuance was so excited was that he had been a little bored for nearly a thousand years.
Now that an unknown and mysterious relic was discovered, he immediately invited Locke to explore it.
"Do you know which civilization is that ruin? Are there any additional clues?" Locke couldn't help asking.
"The news brought back by the survivor of the Third Peak is quite mixed, but it seems to be a powerful civilization relic full of death and decay." Gongsun Xuance replied.
After all, Gongsun Xuance sneakily flew to Locke and whispered, "The ruins seem to have attracted several settlements with peak despairs. It is said that there are special passages in the ruins to leave the world of despair."
Gongsun Xuance's reminder caused Locke to interrupt his continued cultivation.
He first looked at the direction of the third and fourth peaks, and then said, "You go and prepare, I'll call Lilith and Riel, and we will start together later."
"Good Le!" Gongsun Xuance replied.
......
The ancient ruins mentioned by Gongsun Xuance are still far away from the Jiuchong Mountain settlement area where they are currently located.
Even if a few people hurried at full speed, it would take nearly two years to reach the target ruins.
The Third Peak survivor who brought back the news was not easy either. It was the Jiuchong Mountain that took five years to return after discovering the ruins and carrying a severely wounded body.
And what caused the serious injury to the survivor was not the danger remaining in the ruins, but the attacks from other survivors in the desperate world.
Two years later, a huge skeletal basin similar to a crater appeared in front of Locke and others.
Just when he approached this bone basin, Locke felt a certain concentration of death and decay elements. This is a very rare event in the desperate world where the element concentration is extremely scarce.
"These death elements..." Lilith's eyebrows were suddenly frowned, she seemed to have discovered some familiar power elements, but she was not sure.
"Go in and have a look, it seems quite lively inside," Locke said.
As he spoke, strong power fluctuations emanated from the skeletal basin inside the crater, and there seemed to be fierce battles going on inside.
Also, in a chaotic and disordered world like the Desperate World, an ancient ruin that is very likely to connect to the outside world will inevitably urge those desperate to fight in it.
In comparison, the dangerous place of the Jiuchongshan rule where Locke is located, and the dangerous place of the Penetrating Eye rule that Locke was in are rare places where the internal order is relatively stable.
When Locke and the others climbed over the crater and reached the bottom of the basin inside the crater, a group of pitch-black ferocious spiders appeared in front of everyone, fighting a large number of survivors.
These ferocious spiders seem to be the same species, with weird white patterns covering the spider's body.
These patterns are not simply decorations. With these patterns, an indescribable special energy acts on every spider. These spiders are obviously only at the level of demigods, but they can break out in a short time comparable to the fourth-level creatures. force.
This group of spiders did not stop the survivors who came here from exploring the interior of the ruins. In fact, many powerful and desperate people have already smashed a blood path from the spider group and rushed into a crypt in the center of the bone basin.
The reason why these spiders can temporarily block many survivors is that in addition to the effect of their body surface patterns on these spiders, there is also the sturdy style of many spiders who are not afraid of death, preferring to explode rather than taking a step back. .
Kavin today, only two changes
