Struggle in the Steam Age

It was not Lawrence's impulse to rush into the cave, but the result of his serious thinking. On the one hand, although his golden finger can quickly improve his strength, it needs to be fed with various resources. It is obvious that staying here and doing nothing will not benefit him at this time.

On the other hand, the information asked by the gunman just now allowed Lawrence to confirm that entering the ruins was not too risky for him. Under such circumstances, he would naturally decide to take a gamble.

The moment his body came into contact with the black mist, Lawrence felt as if he walked into a cold storage in autumn and felt the cold air around him continuously drill into his body along the pores. Fortunately, the area covered by this cloud of mist was not very large. This feeling only lasted for a few seconds before he successfully rushed out of that cloud of black mist.

After rushing out of the fog, Lawrence saw an almost straight cave in front of him. At the end of the cave, a green light came in from the opening on the other side, and at the same time illuminated the path under Lawrence's feet.

"No wonder the guy outside screamed so hard just now, and the people inside didn't notice anything wrong." After passing through the fog, Lawrence realized that the black fog had a strong sound insulation effect. When he came to the other side of the fog, he found that he couldn't hear the movement outside the cave at all, but heard the noise from the other side of the cave.

"The next step is to see if I can get through it." Lawrence put his hand on the pistol silently in his heart, and then walked inside step by step, imitating the previous action of the gunman who was tied up by him just now.

The cave was not very long, and Lawrence quickly walked through the cave and walked out from the entrance on the other side. At this time, he found that the situation here was exactly the same as what the gunman described before: the underground lake had indeed disappeared, and the small island in the lake that was covered with green crystals had now become a highland protruding there.

After hearing Lawrence's footsteps, a person on the high ground who was sitting leaning against a huge green crystal stood up, and then made a mocking sound at Lawrence. "Peter, why did you go to the toilet for so long? Is it because of a prostate problem?"

As soon as his words fell, the other people standing on the crystal plateau laughed loudly. Amidst their ridicule, Lawrence lowered his head and stepped on the dry lake bottom step by step towards the high ground.

"No—" Just eleven or twelve meters away from Lawrence, the person who spoke before finally saw something wrong with Lawrence through the little green light emanating from the crystal. "You're not Smith—"

As he spoke, he tried to get the pistol hanging on his waist. When he heard his warning, other people also grabbed their guns. But it was too late for them at this time.

"Crack, crack, crack—" Just as the gunmen on the high ground were frantically touching their guns, Lawrence quickly pulled out the pistol from the holster around his waist and fired five shots at them.

The marksmanship obtained from Anne Oakley showed a strong effect at this time, and Lawrence shot every shot within a distance of more than ten meters. After five gunshots, the five gunmen who were standing on the high ground before dropped their pistols while covering their wrists.

"Gentlemen, I hope you will come down now with your hands raised high." Lawrence pointed his gun at those guys on the high ground and said. "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I will guarantee the safety of everyone here."

"Do you know that our boss, Baron Gonzalez—" a gunman threatened loudly, the content was nothing more than how many powerful people their boss, Baron Gonzalez, knew and how powerful he was.

"Shut up! This time I'm here because of your boss." Lawrence pointed a gun at the group of guys and said, "If it wasn't for your boss's relationship with the power of the lower plane this time, I don't have to Now take such a big risk and come here with church members and witchers."

"What?" "Collude with evil forces." "Impossible." The gunmen looked at each other after hearing what Lawrence said, because they were very shocked by these words.

In this world, although extraordinary people are only a small part of human beings, as long as they are normal human beings, they know what the lower planes represent. I also know that the lightest sentence given by various countries and organizations to those who dare to collude with the outside of the lower classes is hard labor for life, so this time Baron Gonzalez, no matter how many backers he has or how powerful he is, cannot save him.

"You're lying, everyone don't listen—" "Pa——" a gunman grabbed the shotgun next to him at this time, shouting something loudly, trying to encourage other gunmen to resist together, but unfortunately, the action was obvious. Not as fast as Lawrence. Before his fingers touched the shotgun, Lawrence raised his hand and shot a blood hole between the guy's forehead.

The other gunmen were a little fussed after hearing the man's agitation, especially when they realized that Lawrence was holding a revolver in his hand. But after Lawrence drew another pistol from his body, the group of gunmen immediately raised their hands and fell silent.

"Very good, gentlemen. Thank you very much for your cooperation." Lawrence looked at the guys in front of him and pointed his gun at them after they were quiet. "Now get down from the high ground, and then cooperate with each other to tie up your hands and feet."

After an early bird was shot in the head, the next job became much easier. The gunmen who survived immediately became as docile as lambs. In less than a minute, the group of people walked down from the high ground according to Lawrence's request, and then tied themselves up firmly.

After carefully checking to make sure that these guys were all tightly bound, Lawrence dragged the group of people into the cave. Then he set foot on the high ground full of green crystals alone.

When carrying the group of gunmen before, Lawrence also roughly observed the surrounding situation. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that the internal structure of this mysterious relic cave is not very complicated. For example, the entire ruins are just this big cave, and the cave is surrounded by ordinary stone walls. After the underground lake disappeared, only a flat sandy land was left.

From this point of view, if there is any secret in this cave, it can only be hidden on the high ground full of green crystals in the center of the whole cave.

With this in mind, Lawrence stepped up to the high ground step by step. I don't know whether it's out of absolute confidence or showing off, but the people who built this place didn't even think about hiding the most important things here. So when he walked up to the high ground, he found the most critical thing on the high ground at a glance: a huge green crystal.

Unlike other crystals on the Highlands, the size of this crystal stands out among the crystal clusters on the Highlands. It is one and a half stories high and requires two people to hug each other. The most eye-catching thing is not the size of this crystal, but the things wrapped in the crystal.

"What is this?" Lawrence frowned looking at the thing wrapped in crystal, because he had never seen such a strange thing.

The thing wrapped in the crystal looks like a cane, but the shape of the whole cane is very rough: it looks like a basically untreated wooden stick, except that the two ends and the middle of the stick are respectively It's just a gold hoop inlaid.

"So, what should I do next?" Looking at the wooden stick inlaid in the crystal in front of him, Lawrence suddenly didn't know what he should do next.
