Looking at the hall in front of them that was full of artificial traces, Lin Ze and the others couldn't help but look at each other, with a hint of astonishment in their eyes.
I originally thought that what was hidden deep underground was a nest built by dragon rats, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
This dragon rat probably discovered this place somehow, so it occupied the magpie's nest and used it as its nest.
"This place... looks quite old."
Shao Qi looked at the surrounding walls and the lines on the ground, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"These lines are quite similar to the patterns I have seen in an ancient secret realm before. This place is probably left over from ancient times."
The other three people all know that Shao Qi has extremely rich experience in exploring secret realms.
When I heard what he said, I immediately believed it.
Coupled with the textures on the surrounding walls and the ground, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of simplicity accumulated over time, which further verifies Shao Qi's words from the side.
After realizing this, the heartbeats of the four people present suddenly accelerated a lot.
Ancient ruins are often equivalent to a large number of treasures.
Such places usually contain countless treasures that have not yet been discovered.
In addition, even the dragon rats, who like to collect treasures, have built their nests in places like this.
It undoubtedly further proves that there are a lot of treasures in this place!
The four people present entered the Star Soul Realm to find treasures. Now they discovered that this place was probably a treasure house containing countless treasures. How could they hold back?
They immediately looked at each other and summoned their pet beasts in a tacit understanding to stand guard. They immediately dispersed and began to investigate the place.
The entire hall is very wide, covering an area of 40,000 to 50,000 square meters.
During the search, the four people gradually moved away.
Following Lin Ze was still the Emperor's Blade.
Messiah and the others are still recovering from their injuries. Under normal circumstances, they will only last two or three days, and they will probably not be able to return to their prime.
However, when Messiah is almost recovered, he can use resuscitation to treat himself and other pets. It is estimated that it will take up to two days to fully recover.
With the light emitted from the gem in his hand, Lin Ze carefully inspected every inch of space around him.
Judging from the surface, there are no other doors or passages in the hall except the opening through which they entered.
However, according to experience, places like this usually have mechanisms such as secret passages and secret doors.
And treasures are often hidden inside.
"But if we can find the dragon rat, we should be able to find the place where the treasure is hidden."
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Ze suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air behind him.
A sharp force came straight to the back of his neck!
Although Lin Ze was suddenly attacked, his expression remained unchanged and he didn't even look back.
Just when the sharp intention was about to hit him, the arm blade of the Emperor's Blade had already struck with lightning.
Clang!
The crisp sound of metal clashing sounded in the darkness.
Sparks suddenly appeared.
The Emperor's Blade easily blocked the sneak attack.
It was only then that Lin Ze turned around leisurely, raised his palm, and the light from the gem immediately illuminated the figure of the sneak attacker.
It was the dragon rat that just disappeared not long ago!
This strange beast now had its sharp claws on the raised arm blade of the Emperor's Blade. It grinned and glared at Lin Ze, obviously very angry at this guy who had sneaked into his lair with evil intentions.
However, Lin Ze didn't have any psychological burden at all.
Like dragons, dragon rats have the habit of collecting treasures, and naturally they also have the habit of hunting prey and looting treasures.
Many of the treasures in its inventory are stained with blood.
Lin Ze would naturally not feel any psychological burden when dealing with this kind of monster.
"Catch it and save your life!"
Lin Ze ordered calmly.
The Emperor's Blade immediately raised its arm blade and shook off the dragon rat's claws, then jumped forward and charged towards the dragon rat.
The dragon rat in front of me is very powerful among its kind.
Already has the strength level of King Level 4.
If you meet an ordinary legendary beast master, you may still have the strength to fight.
It's a pity that it met Lin Ze, and its opponent was the Emperor's Blade, whose actual combat power was comparable to that of the peak king level!
The difference in power is a full five levels, making this battle absolutely no suspense.
By the time the dragon mouse realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, it was already too late.
The Emperor's Blade flashed with a meteor, directly knocking the dragon rat away like a cannonball, hitting the wall hard, and sliding along the wall to the ground.
Before Dragon Rat could catch his breath and get up from the ground, the Emperor's Blade had already flashed in front of him. The sharp foot blade stabbed down mercilessly, sinking into Dragon Rat's body and pinning it to the ground.
The dragon rat screamed in pain, its body twisted and struggled wildly, its sharp claws scratching at the Emperor's Blade's hard body, leaving white marks, but it could not break free.
Not long after.
The dragon and mouse lost their strength and lay on the ground helplessly.
By the time Luo Gaoyang and the other two people heard the noise and rushed over, the battle was already over.
What came into view was the majestic and upright Emperor's Blade, and the dying dragon rat at its feet, covered in bruises.
Facing the confused looks of Luo Gaoyang and the others, Lin Ze explained casually:
"This guy wanted to sneak attack me, but I caught him."
The three of them suddenly realized.
Shao Qi then showed excited eyes and said quickly:
"Since the dragon rat is here, there must be a secret passage leading to its lair nearby!"
When everyone heard that there was a road, they immediately started searching nearby.
The facts were as expected.
Not long after, Feng Feiguang discovered a secret passage in a corner.
The secret passage is located at the bottom of a wall. The diameter of the hole is only half a meter, and it is tightly blocked with a stone slab.
Looking from the outside, you can only vaguely see a circle of seams.
In the dim environment of the hall, it is really difficult to find it without looking carefully.
"This dragon rat is quite smart. This stone slab was probably cut out from the original wall and is original. That's why the hole is blocked so tightly that it is difficult to see from the outside."
Shao Qi pointed at the removed slate and smiled.
"The intelligence of dragon rats is also outstanding among exotic animals."
Luo Gaoyang smiled and then looked behind the cave entrance.
Lin Ze also looked over.
Behind the cave entrance is a long passage.
There are human traces everywhere.
The floor and the walls on both sides are covered with stone slabs, and there are lamps hanging on the walls.
It's just that over time, the fuel inside has evaporated completely.
Even the lamps were corroded to pieces.
Obvious.
There should be a secret passage here.
Just because the dragon and mouse couldn't find the mechanism to open it, they just dug a hole in the wall.
Fortunately, there were dragon rats who were good at treasure hunting, otherwise it would have taken Lin Ze and others a long time to find this place.
Without delaying for too long, the four of them immediately entered the passage.
The passage is not long, less than 100 meters.
The four of them walked quickly and finally arrived at a stone room.
But when they saw the situation in the stone room clearly, the four people's eyes widened in unison, and their breathing became somewhat rapid.
