Although to the outside world, Gao Yuan and others, a full eight days have passed.
But for 'Duolianggen' and others who were deep in the Lanying ruins, only half a day had passed.
After dealing with the puppet guards who suddenly appeared and attacked, he first led the remaining seven members of the joint exploration team to adjust their breathing in a safe area for more than two hours.
It wasn't until everyone's condition had fully recovered that he led them back along the same route that the joint team had traveled in Lanying Swamp in the past few days, towards the entrance of the ruins.
In the end, less than two-quarters of an hour before the time for the second reinforced joint team to enter the Lanying Ruins as agreed upon by the joint team and the senior leaders of the Four Domains Alliance, they finally rushed back to the entrance area of the Lanying Ruins.
.
This is an extremely large-scale super building complex, at least a hundred times larger than the ancient market towns that 'Duolianggen' and others encountered before.
But compared to those ancient market towns that they discovered and were well preserved, this building complex seemed to have been abandoned for endless years.
Not only have more than 90% of the various buildings inside it collapsed and been damaged, but even the broken wall rubble has been severely eroded by weathering.
But even so, from the scale of the remaining foundations of these buildings and the size of the collapsed walls, it is not difficult to see the glory and grandeur of these buildings back then.
However, contrary to the grand layout of this building community, the latter's location in this Lanying ruins seems to be quite remote.
Not only the surrounding areas but also the vast expanse of desolate wilderness.
In addition, according to the joint exploration team's investigation, even the nearest ancient market town is no less than a thousand miles away from this building complex.
This point is obviously different from the conclusion that the joint exploration team subsequently discovered that the distance between adjacent ancient market towns was no more than four hundred miles at most.
However, 'Duolianggen' did not show the slightest interest in this architectural complex that was a bit abnormal in many aspects after returning here.
Because when the joint exploration team first entered the Lanying ruins, they spent a lot of time carefully inspecting the place.
However, the final result was disappointing——
Within this huge building ruins, the joint exploration team did not find anything of value.
The latter seems to be in its current dilapidated state, and everything hidden in it has been completely buried in the endless passing years.
Therefore, after leading the team back to the periphery of this large-scale building ruins, 'Duolianggen' rushed straight towards the core area in the center of the latter without any pause.
There, there is a ruined building with the largest area and the most serious dilapidation.
Unlike the collapsed buildings in the outer areas, this place seemed to have experienced a serious explosion.
Not only in its central area, there is a hemispherical pit with a diameter of more than a hundred feet.
And around this pothole, you can still see countless building fragments thrown out in radial patterns.
At this time, under the giant mine in the center area, there was an energy vortex that was spinning non-stop.
The latter is quite large, occupying almost half of the space of this hemispherical mine.
And around this energy vortex, you can see puffs of gray mist-like energy from time to time, mixed with dark lines that flash like lightning, slowly expanding.
Seeing the gray mist-like energy spreading out from a distance, 'Duolianggen' secretly estimated the time and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, although there was an accident, the meeting time was not missed."
Leading everyone to land on a thick stone pillar that was inserted diagonally between a pair of rocks and was more than several feet above the ground, 'Duolianggen' looked down at the energy vortex not far away that was constantly rotating, silently in his heart.
muttered to himself.
At this moment, through his extremely keen spiritual sense, 'Duolianggen' suddenly felt a trace of unfamiliar energy.
"Um?"
There was a movement in his heart. On the surface he remained calm, but secretly he felt it carefully.
After a brief pause, his eyes casually glanced around. As he passed by an inconspicuous building ruin in the distance, a sharp look suddenly flashed deep in his eyes.
………………
Also not far from the whirlpool at the entrance of the Lanying ruins, in a piece of relatively flat building ruins, the team members of 'Ember' who were sent into the ruins were sitting or standing.
here.
And above the heads of these people, there was a fist-sized, crystal clear blood-red skull floating silently.
With the latter as the center, a puff of gray light and shadow diffused like water.
After these gray lights and shadows left the skull, they intertwined together on their own and turned into a nearly transparent hemispherical light mask with a diameter of several feet, covering all the people below.
Under the cover of this translucent mask, both the whereabouts of these 'ember' people and the fluctuations of aura escaping from their bodies were completely isolated.
Therefore, for people outside the mask, except for some collapsed building fragments, there is no difference from other surrounding areas.
And under this situation, the silhouettes of 'Duolianggen' and others who flew here from far to near, naturally did not hide from the eyes of these 'Ember' personnel.
I saw 'Duolianggen' and others slowly landing after approaching the giant pothole in the central area.
Among the crowd on the Ember side, the young man with an ordinary appearance and a lot of pockmarks on his face moved towards the long-haired young man sitting cross-legged not far away, and at the same time made a warning sound.
road:
"Senior Brother Lan, the people from the Four Domains Alliance are here!"
"At this time, far away from the core area of the ruins, even if these people obtain part of the 'central talisman', they probably won't be of much use."
"In addition, there are only eight of these people left now, and all of them are disheveled and embarrassed. It is obvious that they suffered heavy losses in the previous battle."
"In that case, should we take this opportunity to eat all eight of them?"
"The province will wait until the second batch of support from the Four Regions Alliance arrives, and there will be no unexpected changes."
After hearing what the pockmarked young man said, other people around him also turned their heads and looked at the long-haired young man sitting cross-legged on the ground with a stern expression.
Under the gaze of everyone, the long-haired young man with his eyes slightly closed slowly opened them.
He didn't pay attention to the Duolianggen people who had found a good place to settle down outside the mask. He just turned his attention to the pockmarked young man and said expressionlessly:
"Even if it's just a clone, don't indulge your desire to kill at will."
"Otherwise, when you perform soul resonance later, it will greatly accelerate the progress of your body's demonization."
After hearing what the long-haired young man said, the expression on the pockmarked young man's face suddenly froze, and then he gave a forced laugh and said:
"Senior Brother Lan is serious. I am starting from this mission and want to clear the obstacles as soon as possible."
Regarding the explanation given by the pockmarked young man, the long-haired young man just gave a noncommittal "hum".
He turned his eyes and glanced at the people of Duolianggen outside the light barrier, only to see that the latter quickly set up a partition formation in the surrounding area just like his own side, and did not go any further.
The look of action.
So he no longer paid attention to the other side. While retracting his gaze, he ordered in a calm but unquestionable tone:
"Just a few ants in the Hunyuan Realm."
"Even if we kill them all, it won't have much impact on the Four Domains Alliance."
"It will only allow them to send in another team of reinforcements with a larger number of people and more complete equipment in the follow-up period."
"This will be detrimental to our mission this time."
"What's more, the current condition of these people from the Four Domain Alliance is certainly not very good."
"But the 'containers' we use are actually not in much better condition after three days of consumption."
"In this case, it is really unnecessary to provoke these people from the Four Domain Alliance for no reason."
After hearing what the long-haired young man said, everyone around him nodded in agreement, and the pockmarked young man said no other words.
Seeing this, the long-haired young man stopped talking. Just when he was about to close his eyes and sit quietly again, his expression suddenly changed and he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction outside the light shield.
Where he was looking, he saw a figure that was several feet tall, with a body covered with a thick layer of pure black hair, and countless black mist lingering around the body.
It is flashing towards this side at an extremely fast speed.
But what makes the long-haired young man feel strange is that although this figure looks very oppressive to his naked eyes, to his perception, he can hardly feel the slightest breath fluctuation.
If it weren't for the skill he practiced, which had a strong bonus effect on perception, he wouldn't even have noticed the approach of this figure!
The long-haired young man was no stranger to this figure flying towards him at a rapid speed.
The latter is the leading Wu Clan monk among the members of the Four Realms Alliance who just arrived here.
"Isn't this person leading a team stationed in the ruins of a building thirty feet away?"
"Why did this dazzling moment appear from the opposite direction?"
Looking at the figure that was approaching rapidly, the long-haired young man did not feel the slightest panic in his heart, but just thought with some confusion.
"Forget it, originally I didn't want to cause trouble."
"But since you are seeking death yourself, you have no one to blame!"
As his mind turned, the long-haired young man's expression suddenly became stern. He made no intention of reminding his companions, but suddenly stretched out his right hand, made it look like an eagle's claw, and grabbed it in the direction of the figure opposite.
Following his movements, a huge black ghost claw appeared out of thin air in the void more than ten feet away, and fiercely grabbed the 'Duolianggen' that was flying towards him.
