Green Monster Epic

Chapter 217: The Passage Appears (First Update!)

An hour and a half after casting the half-magic, the Ironback Brown Bear let out a miserable wail, the stone armor covering its clumsy body turned into sand and gravel, and as it slowly fell, the brown bear crashed to the ground in front of Allen and the others.

Allen, whose body was already soaked in sweat, breathed a sigh of relief and thrust the heavy sword into the ground beside him, which was not intact. He leaned on the heavy sword and began to rest.

Saru, on the other hand, still had energy to spare. He dragged the three adventurers' corpses together, and after scavenging their loot, he found a pit and buried them. Allen ignored his actions and instead began to study the pile of loot on the ground.

"A bunch of guys who betrayed you, is it worth doing this?"

While examining the loot, Allen couldn't help but ask. He was very puzzled by Saru's complex emotions.

"Well, the two of them were partners who wandered with me for six years. Even if they betrayed me before, they saved my life many times in dangerous situations."

Saru had lived in the wilderness for more than half a year and envied the straightforward character of the wilderness people. But more often than not, he felt frightened, such as their custom of eating human flesh. At this time, he was filled with complex emotions as he looked at the corpses buried in the pit, imagining that one day he might end up in such a scene, his heart filled with desolation.

"They betrayed our friendship of many years and failed to assassinate me, so they ended up in their current situation, which they deserved. But after all, the friendship of many years cannot be forgotten. I will let their remains be buried in peace, which can be regarded as the end of our friendship over the years."

"Whatever."

Allen still couldn't clearly understand Saru's emotions. At this time, he picked up a piece of parchment and carefully examined it. Although he had learned a lot of common languages and human languages from Phillip in the past two years, Allen still couldn't recognize many of the words on this seemingly new parchment: "Come and see, what is written on this?"

Saru collected his mood and returned to Allen's side. The loss on his face was gone. He picked up the parchment that Allen handed over and checked it. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he was: "This is the rubbing of the stone tablet we found in a ruin when we were adventuring in the Elven Kingdom. It was also because of that stone tablet that our team knew that there would be an ancient ruin tens of thousands of years ago here, and finally caused so many things to happen."

However, it was obvious that Saru's education level was only slightly higher than Allen's. He couldn't completely recognize the words on it. Many of them also had Elven characters added, but the patterns and identification methods marked on it still allowed Allen and Saru to understand the location of the passage to the ruin in the Misty Forest.

"No wonder Mark and the others were entangled with this Ironback Brown Bear. It turns out that there is a passage connecting to the ruins in the territory of this Ironback Brown Bear."

Saru pointed to a smooth and bright obsidian pillar protruding 2-3 meters from the ground not far to the south of their battlefield. The rounded structure had not been able to wear away the complicated patterns on the stone pillar after countless years of wind erosion. It was like a silent old man standing on this land. The white mist could cover up the traces of creatures and cover the scene a few meters away, but this faint light could penetrate the white mist, allowing the place hundreds of meters away to detect its existence.

"According to the saying on this rubbing, as long as we put our hands on this stone pillar and think about entering, we can follow the passage and enter this ruin passage."

"However, the end of this passage is a vast and complex maze. We need to find a way out of the maze to enter the various areas of the ruins surrounded and protected by the maze."

"The ruins are very large and divided into several areas. Each area is separated by a maze. That is to say, if we want to gain something, we can only rely on luck."

"At the same time, the ruin passage will be closed on the last day of the Moon of Radiance and eject us, unless we find the ruin hub and obtain the authority to control the ruin."

"In this case, we don't have to worry about getting completely lost in the maze, and we don't have to worry about missing the time when the passage closes."

"It also says that countless creatures were placed in the maze to protect the existence of the ruins, and it was also a place for the original owners of the ruins to train their descendants' combat effectiveness."

Saru struggled to translate the words on the parchment. There might be many mistakes, but it gave the two people a general understanding of the ruins.

"Are we going in now?"

Although there were only 20 days left before the end of the Moon of Radiance, Allen and Saru were not so anxious since they had found the passage to enter the ruins.

"Let's rest for a while and divide up the loot on the ground."

Allen's eyes were burning, and more of his attention was focused on the parchment in Saru's hand.

Although this activation was 500 years before the next activation of the ruins, Allen, as a native of the wilderness, naturally hoped to keep this parchment scroll. Perhaps on the next day of activation, his descendants would be able to rely on this scroll to have another chance to enter here.

"Why don't we make another copy of this parchment?"

Not only did Allen have this idea, but Saru also had expectations for the future. After seeing Allen's eyes, he tentatively made a suggestion.

"Okay."

Allen naturally agreed. The future generations would solve the conflicts of interest 500 years later. Currently, the two of them were allies guaranteed by a contract, and Allen would not do anything to stab his allies in the back, although he could actually do it.

After some distribution, Allen and Saru saw that it was getting late, and there was still a brown bear carcass lying there. The two of them simply collected firewood on the spot and began to prepare to make a fire and cook.

The magic glands on the brown bear's body were collected, but it was a pity about its fur. Now Allen would not be stupid enough to carry such a heavy thing into the ruins again. The two of them buried it next to the obsidian pillar. If they came out from here at that time, then Allen and the others would take it out of the Misty Forest together; if they changed places, then they would pretend that this thing did not exist.

"Alas, it's a pity that the value of the dimensional bag is too high. Otherwise, if we had a dimensional bag on us, we wouldn't have to be annoyed by being burdened by such good materials."

Saru stepped the bear skin into the ground, added a handful of soil, and said with regret.

Allen had seen Phirok use a dimensional bag in Thornsburg before, so he knew its use, but the only thing he didn't understand was the value of this dimensional bag.

"Is this dimensional bag very valuable?"

"That goes without saying. The most important thing is that the materials for making the dimensional bag are rare. There are only a few kinds of substances and creatures with spatial attributes in the Feyman plane. Each one is a good hand at hiding its tracks. It is really a difficult thing to kill these creatures to obtain the materials on their bodies."

Saru nodded: "A dimensional bag once appeared at the Thornsburg auction house. The starting price was 10,000 gold coins. Do you think it's worth the money! !"

"Oh, is it so valuable?"

While Allen was sighing, he had a deeper understanding of the wealth of the old man Phirok. An old man who could own a dimensional bag was someone with some weight in their business group.
