Chapter 32 The Mysterious Gate

The entrance of the ruins is very hidden. A dense forest perfectly hides a deep hole about seven or eight meters in diameter on the ground. If it hadn't been for the treasure map, even if someone passed by, it would have regarded it as the most common deep pit.

The fat man leaned his head and looked down and could only faintly see a glimmer of light.

Is this the place? How deep is it down? Ye Fei asked.

"About 200 meters." Merlin said, "We also took countless soft ladders to reach the bottom of the cave."

The fat man immediately stopped the idea of jumping down. If it was less than 100 meters, he could barely try it with his fighting spirit.

Now at this height... you can also jump down... It's not sure whether it's dead or alive.

He honestly climbed along the soft ladder to the bottom of the cave. As soon as he landed, the fat man felt something stepped on his feet. He looked down and saw that it was a bone of a warcraft's leg.

"What a bad luck!" The fat man cursed in a low voice.

The bottom of the cave was lit by torches inserted in the wall. His eyes swept around, and countless bones of warcraft were scattered around. It seemed that they should have fallen from above.

The dew drops make a crisp sound on it.

The bottom of the cave is very open and can't be seen at a glance. According to the rock layer** around the traces of flowing water, the fat man can infer at a glance that this is a naturally formed cave.

There is a musty smell from the air. Occasionally, some moss can be seen on the abrupt stalagmites and potholes on the gravel road.

Under the leadership of Merlin, several people quickly came to the ruins.

From the first step into the ruins, the fat man's eyes have not been idle. No matter what it is, the long accumulation will always leave traces.

But what disappointed the fat man was that there was nothing to excite the fat man on the ground made of this unknown material.

The whole underground ruins are built on the mountain. The broken wall seems to be talking about the ancient history of the ruins. Some ancient patterns can be clearly seen on the broken stone pillars, like words and reliefs. I don't know what kind of material it was built. The fat man racked his brains to see which kind of building this relic belongs to. Style.

In the distance, I saw a camp stationed in front of the gate, with torches all around it. There were still some huge items piled up in the open space in the middle of the camp, which should be impossible to take away and reluctant to discard antiques.

The fat man's eyebrows jumped inadvertently.

Merlin shouted at the crowd from afar, "Auncle, I'm back!"

The crowd in the distance scattered a crack, and a 60-year-old man came out of it. His face was old, his temples were white, and his blue-gray samurai suit was covered with stains.

Ci Xiu looked at Ye Fei, glanced at Merlin again, and said, "Is this the invited six-level master? I don't know how to call it?"

"Yes, uncle, this is Mr. Ye Fei." Merlin said respectfully, and a flash of coldness disappeared in an instant.

Ye Fei hurried forward and respectfully greeted him with a smile on his face. Even if he knew that the other party was not kind, he could not turn his face at this time. If it hadn't been for the unknown treasure that also attracted the fat man, he would not have accepted the task at all.

Ci Xiu asked kindly, "Are you tired? Do you need to take a break first?"

"No need." The fat man smiled and said, "The deputy group of Meilin has explained to me the content of this commission on the way. I will definitely keep this secret. Since I'm here, let's take a look at the damn gate first!"

Ci Xiu said with great understanding, "Don't worry, I'll give you a detailed introduction to the situation of this ruins first. After waiting for so many days, I won't be in such a hurry."

After saying that, he introduced it to the fat man in detail.

The task of Merlin and others going out this time is not only to find helpers, but also to bring back some food. Staying in this underground relic for a long time has exhausted everyone's food.

That night, a grand bonfire dinner was held in the camp to entertain the fat man, a sixth-level martial artist, who had such strength at a young age, which was impressive.

Although everyone looks kind, the fat man still smells the murder in the air.

"It's unprofessional, unprofessional." The fat man whispered.

"What's unprofessional?" Mo, another deputy commander of Noah's mercenary regiment, came over.

The fat man has no good impression on this thin middle-aged man with only skin and bones, but this is in other people's territory, and dragons and insects have to be coiled.

"Nothing, I'm nagging! Hey, drink!" The fat man raised his glass and drank it all.

When he woke up, Cixiu led Ye Fei to the front of the gate. The "concave"-shaped layout made it easy for the fat man to think of the woman's legs, especially the door in the middle made the fat man fanciful.

However, the magic bombs piled up around the gate made the fat man jump.

"What are these magic bombs for?" Ye Fei asked puzzledly.

Merlin replied with some chagrin, "We have wasted too much time on this door. If it really doesn't work, we can only choose to forcibly blow up. Even if we fight for a landslide here, it's better than nothing."

Ci Xiu said, "It's not boasting. I've been traveling north and south for so many years, and I'm also knowledgeable, but this time it's difficult for a small break.

The fat man looked envious and said flatteringly, "The leader of Cixiu has gained a lot this time. I heard from the leader of Merlin that he has a full income of 100,000 gold coins. Tut-huh, it's really enviable!"

"hehe." Cixiu made a miserable situation: "Don't listen to my nephew's nonsense. If you don't go home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. There are nearly 100 people who have been damaged. This pension alone has to pay 50,000 gold coins. In addition to your reward, the rest of us will not be divided."

The fat man's face remained unchanged, but there was a sneer in his heart and said to himself, "100,000 gold coins? I'm afraid it's a million gold coins! Fakely give me 10,000 gold coins, and finally destroy the body, not to mention money! Grandpa, I still have to kill you!"

Ci Xiu raised his hand and pointed to the door and whispered, "We have tried to forcibly open this door with a fighting spirit, but we don't know what material it is made of. The fighting spirit can only leave a faint pit. We stayed here for more than a month before we barely made such a big hole in the door."

Ye Fei looked at it. There was only a fist-like pit left on the five-meter-high door. If you want to open the door at this speed, you have to wait until the year of the monkey.

"I'll try it." After saying that, it was lucky for Kowloon to hit the door fiercely.

"Don't..." Everyone spoke in unison, trying to stop the reckless fat man.

"Bum!" A muffled sound.

A huge rebound came from his fist, and the fat man's figure instantly turned into a meteor, drawing a wonderful arc in the air.

"Ouch..." Ye Fei was directly knocked down and his buttocks blossomed, and tears of pain rolled directly.

La, countless big fists fell from the top of the cave, hitting everyone's head.

Everyone looked at Ye Fei angrily.

The fat man got up and rubbed his buttocks, scratched his head with embarrassment, and his face was full of embarrasment: "Hey, accident..."

Cixiu seemed to be used to this situation and said, "Don't underestimate this door. The stronger the fighting spirit, the stronger the counterattack on it is. We all rubbed it little by little with the spirit of war to open such a big hole."

"Moreover, the impact is too strong, and it is easy to cause cave landslides, and none of us can escape at that time."

A middle-aged man looked at the traces on the door and shouted in surprise, "Look."

Everyone's eyes followed the shout, leaving a faint layer of fist marks on the door. Although it is not as deep as the original hole, it is also half deep.

Ci Xiu and Meilin looked at each other and couldn't hide their excitement at all. They were worthy of being six-level warriors. This punch alone was enough to withstand everyone's efforts for half a month before.

Mo Sutu shouted in surprise, "It seems that there is really hope this time."

I am not very satisfied with this punch fat man. Just now, one punch has consumed one tenth of his fighting spirit, which seems to be powerful, but it is still far from enough to open the space for a person to pass through this door.

No martial artist can support it all the time, and there will always be a moment when the war spirit will be exhausted. With the sound just now, the fat man can easily infer that the thickness of this door is far beyond everyone's imagination. Instead of calling it a door, it is more appropriate to call it a boulder. If it lasts like this, it won't take a few months. Hard work is not enough.

But Samina's illness has been ill for a long time. He has no time to waste here and has to find another way to solve this door. As for the things behind the door, it has long been turned into his private property by the fat man.

"I'm afraid things are not as optimistic as I thought." Ye Fei frowned.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at the fat man and their eyes were full of puzzlement. Compared with before, there has been obvious progress. Why do they say so? A big question mark appeared in everyone's hearts.

The fat man explained lightly, "I don't know if you have noticed it. What just made was a muffled sound, which proves that this door will be very thick. If it grinds down so slowly, I don't know when it will take."

Cixiu and others' happy mood was broken in an instant. With the strength of Noah's mercenary regiment, they can't open this door at all, otherwise there is no need for outside help.

"What should I do?" Merlin first asked. The moment the door opened was the most relaxed moment for everyone's vigilance. Merlin's plan was to remove these obstacles in front of him at that time.

The fat man walked to the door, knocked with his hand, and said to the crowd faintly, "Do you hear? I'm afraid we can't easily break through the thickness of this door alone."

Several mercenaries stepped forward with questioning faces, knocked with their hands, and returned to their original positions with a look of disappointment.

The fat man explained, "It's the door. There will always be a way to open it. First, we spend too much time with the spirit of war. Second, no one knows what the door is like behind it. In case the door is suddenly in danger after opening, I'm afraid..."

The words have not been finished, but everyone can understand the meaning. Compared with the wealth that was easily bought before, the value of the things inside can be imagined by putting such a difficult door here. No one will believe that there is no danger behind this door.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, leaving only the torch crackling.

"So, our problem now should be to find a way to open this door in the right way, not to find a way to destroy it! Once we suddenly face danger, I'm afraid we don't have the ability to protect ourselves. There are too many places in this mysterious relic that we can't see through. The fat man said solemnly.

"We can't take risks with our lives. No matter how many gold coins we have, it's not as good as a wooden board. At least the wooden board can make a coffin."

"We have only one way to find a mechanism now. It is impossible for such a big door to be without a mechanism!" The fat man summed up his words impassionedly.
