I Became the King of Villains In the Game - Chapter 427

Chapter 427 Monument and Bronze Gate

Everyone slowly groped into the depths of the ruins of the city in the dark.

Judging from the terrain and the distribution of building debris, this has reached the area north of the center. The two captains, Chen Lun and Hamilton, respectively issued orders to the members of the first and second teams to scatter around to find information about the remains of this ruin.

Ten minutes later.

“Captain Hamilton! We found half a stele!”

A young male member of the second team came to the meeting point and said to the captain.

Under the faint light, Chen Lun and Hamilton glanced at each other, then nodded tacitly.

“Where? Take us there.”

Hamilton said in a deep voice.

“Yes, Captain, please follow me!”

The team member led the way ahead, followed by Chen Lun and Hamilton.

After turning eight corners in the dark, Chen Lun felt that the surrounding environment seemed to become more spacious, because he had not encountered any building wreckage after walking for a long time.

“This seems to be another square.”

Hamilton said softly.

“Well, it is very similar to the area in the battle just now. This symmetrical planning and design reminds me of the human city-states in the second era.”

Chen Lun thought of something and said slowly.

Hamilton and the other team members were a little surprised. They didn’t expect Captain Jack to be so knowledgeable that he even knew about such a long-standing secret.

Chen Lun secretly sighed, this is just some information he dug up when he was doing side missions in his previous life.

Soon, everyone came to the half stone tablet that Hamilton’s subordinates said.

This stone tablet stands in the center of the square. The base is a trapezoidal cylindrical stone pier, which is polished very smooth and carries a square stone tablet. However, due to the age and some unknown factors, this stone tablet is missing a large piece. Leave the third connected by the base.

“Leia, come and see, what is engraved on this monument?”

Hamilton immediately called the previous female player.

The latter hurried forward, and under the light of a grain of light, carefully examined the strange tadpole-shaped characters on it. At the same time, she stretched out her fingers to gently stroke the dent to confirm its original appearance.

“…the royal family of Yanita has finally successfully communicated with the starry sky. The king and his descendants have obtained the extraordinary power of races such as elves, giants, monsters and dragons. The kingdom is about to rise, and human beings are no longer slaves and inferior races…great gods’ Lord of Fate’, ‘World Tree’, ‘Star of Enlightenment’, ‘Dragon of Light’ and ‘King of Giants’, please forgive us who are greedy and believe in new gods from the starry sky, where the sun, moon and stars shine, It makes mankind shine…”

The female team member Leia stumbled and barely translated the text. She raised her head and glanced at the people around her, and said softly:

“It’s probably like this, some characters are too blurry, I can’t make out…”

“It’s already done, Leia, thanks for your hard work.”

Hamilton nodded appreciatively and whispered.

Leia smiled slightly and retreated into the team.

At this time, Hamilton turned his head to look at Chen Lun again, casting a questioning gaze:

“What do you think, Jack?”

“Through the inscription on the monument, I can probably confirm the age of the ruins…”

Chen Lun pondered, and spoke slowly.

“This should be the hundreds of years of transition between the second era “Fairy Tale Era” and the third era “Starry Sky Era”.”

Under the faint light, he noticed some doubts on everyone’s faces, and explained with a chuckle:

“Actually, I don’t know much, but it is said that during the ‘Fairy Tale Era’, human beings had a hard time living on this continent, because there were no extraordinary beings at that time, and all kinds of extraordinary creatures were rampant. Even if human beings established a kingdom, they had to unite , and it is difficult to resist frequent attacks… The content recorded in this monument should be the period when the “Star Era” just started, that is, the period when the beliefs of the sun god, moon **** and star **** were born, and they gave human beings extraordinary power , so that human beings can survive in that extremely harsh environment.”

Everyone frowned slightly and looked at each other.

“Did the belief in the three religions of the sun, moon, and stars originate in the third era?”

Hamilton thoughtful.

Chen Lun continued to speak at this time:

“However, I didn’t expect that humans in the ancient era believed in the gods of fate, nature and magic… They are far older than we imagined.”

“The ‘Lord of Destiny’, ‘World Tree’ and ‘Star of Enlightenment’ recorded on the monument…”

Hamilton murmured.

“What about the ‘Dragon of Light’ and the ‘King of Giants’?”

“I don’t know, and I have never heard of these two gods.”

Chen Lun shook his head.

Hamilton discussed with the team members for a while before he raised his head and said to Chen Lun:

“Unfortunately, although this information is valuable, it does not help our investigation mission… So far, there are still no clues about the source of the pollution.”

“Keep going deeper, and you will always find the answer.”

Chen Lun gave a word of comfort.

Unexpectedly, Hamilton sighed and shook his head slightly.

“I plan to take the team back first and report the situation to the presiding judge… The danger of the dark world is far beyond imagination. Not only did the second group sacrifice two members, but the rest of them are also quite tired…”

He raised his head, patted Chen Lun on the shoulder, and showed a rare smile on his cold face:

“Thank you again, Jack, I believe you can go farther than us, or even other investigation teams, to find the source and truth of the pollution… The mission of the empire will be given to you first.”

Chen Lun was startled for a moment, then nodded.

Hamilton didn’t stay any longer, he greeted the team members, and then chose to return to the third layer of the spirit world, and then returned to the present world along the same path.

The dark world cannot be directly connected to the present world, which is one of the reasons why it is included in the forbidden area of ​​the mysterious field. Because once encountering an irresistible danger, there will be no way out.

After Hamilton and others left, Chen Lun also led the team to continue on the road.

The darkness is boundless, and everyone seems to be integrated with the environment, moving forward silently.

Time changed, and three days passed.

In three days, the seven members of the investigation team followed the pace of the captain Jack and walked through the dark world. They were attacked by Didak bugs more than a dozen times, and the most dangerous one was that everyone was almost wiped out. Danger.

At that time, I was blocked by forty or fifty worms in a small pothole. If Captain Jack hadn’t stepped forward and turned into a knight in pale armor, he would blow all the worms away and lead everyone to escape. God, the consequences are disastrous.

Right now.

Everyone has come to the top of a steep **** similar to a mountain.

Under the faint light, a huge square bronze door stands here, with a height of more than 30 meters, and the front volume is equivalent to a high-rise building.

Its appearance is only a door frame, which is carved with all kinds of strange animal and plant patterns, as well as some unrecognizable characters. In the middle is a deep darkness that is twisted like a whirlpool, and black mist is constantly floating out of it, and even light cannot penetrate it.

“It’s a stunning spectacle… Who would have built this?”

Lahn looked up at the bronze door in front of him and exclaimed.

“Probably not man-made.”

Wells said in a deep voice.

When the others heard this, their hearts trembled.

Is it the civilization of other races in the ancient era? Or… the gods?

have no idea…

The truth of all this is unknown, and it has long been covered up by the long river of time.

Chen Lun stood quietly aside, looking at the straight bronze door, and let out a sigh of relief. According to the guidance of divination and referring to the contents of Mr. Byers’ handbook, he finally came to this door.

As long as you walk in here, you can lead to the deeper space of the dark world.

However, he is not ready to do so at the moment.

Because the team members have gone through these three days of exploration, they are already physically and mentally exhausted, and the deep space behind the door will only be more dangerous. What they need now is to rest, not to venture forward.

And there is another reason.

‘Mr. Byers said in his letter that there is a special area near the first gate, from which he can directly return to the present world… However, he will enter the underground of the Sun Continent. ‘

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He plans to go and explore alone, maybe he can find something.

“team leader?”

Rahn said cautiously and softly.

Chen Lun came back to his senses and nodded to him.

The team members were asking him about his next move just now, and Chen Lun heard it through [One Mind, Two Purposes].

“I plan not to go deep for the time being, and all members of the investigation team will return to the present world to rest for two days.”

He said slowly.

“team leader…”

Rahn and others were very surprised.

Although they are tired and understand the captain’s intentions, going back now means that all the efforts of these days will be in vain… When they return to the spirit world next time, they have to start from scratch again.

“We can hold on, Captain, let’s move on.”

Wells also said aloud.

Everyone was unwilling to give up and persuaded the captain one after another.

Looking at the tense expressions of the team members, Chen Lun couldn’t help shaking his head and chuckling.

“Don’t worry, after everyone has finished resting, I can take you back to this door in a short time…”

As he spoke, he took out the second spirit world anchor and threw it on the ground.

Boom!

The palm-sized metal anchor smashed into the gravel surface, leaving only a section of the handle exposed.

“Don’t forget, I am a transcendent of the fate faction. At that time, according to the coordinates of the anchor, I can directly use the sequence ability to teleport the team here.”

Chen Lun said.

When everyone heard this, they immediately showed joyful expressions.

Before, because of the captain’s terrifying strength, they subconsciously ignored the faction he belonged to. Now that they think about it… Captain Jack is not only powerful, but also quite suitable for leading the team to participate in such exploration operations.

The ability of long-distance teleportation is very suitable in an environment like the dark world!

“Rahn, when you go back, record the progress and situation of our team, and then submit a summary to Chief McCawlane.”

Chen Lun gave an order.

“No problem, Captain!”

Rahn quickly nodded in agreement.

“Ok.”

Chen Lun laughed.

“Let’s go back.”

“Yes, Captain!”

This time, everyone no longer resisted, but readily agreed.

All members of the investigation group returned to the present world along the original road.

After explaining some things to the team members, Chen Lun quietly avoided everyone’s sight, returned to the dark world alone, and used the cloud leap to return to the bronze gate.

‘It should be nearby, let’s look for it. ‘

He tentatively explored around the bronze door.

After spending more than an hour, Chen Lun finally found something unusual more than a thousand meters northwest of the Bronze Gate. It was a slightly sunken circular stone platform, two circles surrounded by countless tiny pebbles.

Chen Lun tried to step onto the platform, and immediately felt a feeling.

It is a vague connection with the present world!

Previously, in any area of ​​the dark world, I could not feel the breath of the present world… From the third layer of the spirit world, the outline of the present world completely disappeared from the field of vision, which means that the two worlds are far apart, and it is logically impossible to communicate with each other. The dark world is directly connected to the present world.

‘But what exactly is a platform? Is it a ritual formation? You can go back to this world directly…’

Chen Lun took a deep breath.

He feels that there are too many secrets in the dark world, but the truth is hard to find.

Next second.

Chen Lun disappeared from the platform.

Hum!

A strong pulling force hit Chen Lun’s body, and in just a few seconds, he felt some tearing pain in his body. This surprised Chen Lun somewhat. After all, his physical fitness had already exceeded the limit of the ordinary Sequence Five.

Open your eyes again.

Chen Lun found himself in a huge cave. There was a hole not far away, and there was dim sunlight outside.

‘This is the underground world recorded in the Handbook? Why is there sunshine…? ‘

He was very puzzled.

Chen Lun walked out of the cave slowly. After seeing the scene outside, his expression changed slightly and his pupils shrank.

Because he saw that above the sky, there was a round of dark red stars suspended, like the setting sun, and like the sun entering the stage of dying, emitting a dim blood-colored light when it was dying.

The cave is extremely huge. If it were not for the cover of rock walls and domes, Chen Lun might have mistaken it for a rocky plain.

Mushrooms of various sizes and shapes grow on the ground, umbrella-shaped, spherical, lace-shaped and irregular. The small ones are like fingers, and the large ones exceed the scale of ordinary buildings.

Under the dim light, this “mushroom forest” swayed without wind.

The scene in front of him was both spectacular and strangely beautiful, and Chen Lun was quite shocked.

‘How did these things come into being…and what is that huge dark red light ball? ‘

Chen Lun wanted Yu Kongfei to go up to check, but once the idea was born, his spiritual intuition frantically warned. He had no choice but to dismiss this idea, and the vigilance in his heart became even worse.

After standing on the spot and observing for more than ten minutes, he finally took a step and walked into the mushroom forest. But before he went far, he stopped suddenly.

‘Ok? someone…’

Chen Lun frowned slightly, standing still and staring ahead.

Not long after, a petite figure bent over sneaked into his sight. It was a young woman with burgundy hair tied into a ponytail and a plain cotton and linen coat. She looked vigilant, looking left and right, and was carrying a huge and shriveled bag, not knowing what to do.

When she saw Chen Lun, the woman was shocked at first, and then turned into joy, and couldn’t help blurting out:

“Male…man?! How can there be a man here!”

Her bright eyes burst out with extreme desire and excitement.

But the next second, she turned around and ran away.

Chen Lun quietly watched the opponent’s actions, but still stood there, unmoved.

Because in his perception, the young woman did not “escape”, but hid behind the giant mushrooms all around, looking at him in secret.

That look…

It looks like a hunter when hunting!
