The Book Of Martial God
20. Exploring the Ruins

1 hour later Huan Long sat in front of the fire and saw Xie Min sitting next to him. "Huan Long." Xie Min said. "What." Reply Huan Long. "Drink this." Xie Min threw the bottle.

"Wine." Said Huan Long smelling the scent and started drinking. "If in the ruins there is a danger that neither of us can overcome. I want you to go with the prince." Xie Min said.

"Do you want to sacrifice yourself." Ask Huan Long. "Yes, if the prince's life is threatened." Reply Xie Min. "What a loyal npc." Huan Long muttered then entered into the tent and closed his eyes.

The next day Huan Long came out of the tent and saw Xie Min and Zhou Min were grilling meat. "What a good night's sleep." Ask Xie Min. "Yes, I'm used to sleeping in the wild." Reply Huan Long. "After we finish eating we will continue our journey." Said Zhou Min. "okay." Huan Long and Xie Min.

30 Minutes later Huan Long, Zhou Min and Xie Min finished eating. "Let's go." said Zhou Min on the horse. Huan Long nodded then rode the horse. "Yesyaa." Huan Long, Zo Min and Xie Min then left.

A few hours later Huan Long saw thousands of tents in front of him. "We're up." Said Zhou Min. "There are so many experts who have arrived." Said Huan Long looking at thousands of master and grandmaster level players and npc.

"Are you afraid to see so many experts gathered." Said Xie Min looking at Huan Long. "There's no fear in my dictionary. But I'm not too stupid to start a fight against the Grandmaster level." Reply Huan Long. "I like your attitude." Xie Min smiled.

Huan Long walked towards a cave and saw a white barrier enveloping the cave entrance. "Congratulations for finding the ruins. The barrier enveloping the ruins will open within 16 Hours." Looks like I'll have to wait. "Murmuring Huan Long."

"Huan Long, according to the information the strength of the barrier weakens with time and maybe tomorrow the barrier will be destroyed." Said Zhou Min.

"Where did you get the information." Ask Huan Long. "I heard it from someone's chat." Reply Zhou Min. "If so let's wait somewhere." Said Huan Long. "All right." Zhou Min nodded.

A few hours had passed Huan Long saw the dozens of people who had just arrived pulling everyone's party. "He is a rank 2 top Pablo player, and the head of the Black Jack mercenary grub is a rank 2 mercenary." "Besides him was Jimin top player ranked 5th and vice-chairman of Black Jack."

"If it's not wrong, they're all members of Black Jack's mercenary grub." "According to rumors the terms of entering the grub Black Jack's army must enter the 200th rank." Huan Long heard the chatter of many people.

"I who was ranked 777 had no chance of getting into his mercenary grub." Mumbled Huan Long.

The next day Huan Long saw someone shouting. "Look at that white barrier disappearing." "The barrier has been opened. Player can enter the ruins." Huan Long looked at the notice that appeared in front of him.

"Ohh." Huan Long heard a scream. "Nobody comes in ahead of us." Said a young man slashing at a man. "Damn it, Black Jack's grub is too arrogant." Said some people seeing the grub of mercenaries Black Jack enter the ruins the first time.

"Huan Long, let's go inside" Zhou Min said. "We'll go in after everyone else comes in. I don't want to provoke a fuss." Reply Huan Long. "If we go in last, we probably won't get the treasure." Reply Zhou Min. "That's better, than you lose your life." Reply Huan Long.

"Prince, what Huan Long said is true, we are both only master level. While many levels of Grandmasters were entering into the ruins. We both may have trouble protecting the prince." Reply Xie Min. "Alright, then we will enter at the very end" Zhou Min said. "Good." Huan Long nodded.

Upon entering the cave, Huan Long saw 10 passageways. "There are 10 passageways, we'll enter the passageway which is Huan Long." Ask Zhou Min.

"First hallway from the left." Said Huan Long walking towards the leftmost hallway. Zhou Min and Xie Min then followed Huan Long. "Gush." "Gush." As he entered into the passage Huan Long saw several arrows shot towards him. "Tig!." "Tig!." Huan Long parried the arrow with his dagger.

"Are you both fine." asked Huan Long. "We're fine." Zhou Min replied. "Experts below Intermediate level are unlikely to survive this arrow attack." muttered Huan Long.

After walking for a few minutes Huan Long saw himself in a room of 100 meters and there were 10 shelves filled with various weapons, and hundreds of books. Huan Long walked towards the book and got notified. "Each player can only take 1 book or 1 weapon."

Huan Long looked at the Intermediate level skill book and said. "What if I take two." While picking up two books at once, Huan Long saw one of the books disappear from his hand. "What a mystic." Said Zhou Min seeing the book in Huan Long's hand disappear.

"We can only take 1 book or a weapon. If you've chosen a book or a weapon, we'll enter the hall." Said Huan Long. "I've taken one book." Said Zhou Min. "I've also picked up a book." Xie Min said. "Let's go" said Huan Long into the second hallway on the left.

After entering the passage Huan Long saw many corpses scattered about. "Be careful." Before finishing his words Huan Long saw hundreds of needles darting towards him. "Enable the sword ki." Said Huan Long then fending off all the needles. "Tig!." "Tig!." "Tig!."

Huan Long turned his head back and saw Zhou Min and Xie Min using the ki sword to deflect the needle. "You need to stay alert." Said Huan Long. "I know." Said Zhou Min. After walking for a few minutes Huan Long once again saw himself in a spacious place and there were 10 shelves containing weapons and books.

Huan Long walked over towards the shelf and saw the notification that appeared. "Each player can only take 1 book or weapon." Huan Long looked at the writing and picked up one book. "Advance-level books, and if my guess is correct. So after passing through the next hall the prize is an expert level book" said Huan Long.

"Let's get into Huan Long's next hallway." Zhou Min said taking out a book. "alright. When entering the hall be careful because the attack we face next can kill expert level experts." Said Huan Long. "I know." Zhou Min nodded.

Huan Long then walked towards the hallway number 10 at the right. Upon entering the passage Huan Long saw several blue arrows darting towards him. "Be careful this attack is equivalent to an Expert level" said Huan Long activating the ki sword and fending off the blue arrow.

"Tig!." "Tig!." "The land of ki." Said Huan Long looking at the arrow and fending it off. "Tig!." "Tig!." Huan Long's hands trembled as he repelled the ki arrow. A few minutes later there was no ki arrow shot towards Huan Long. "Are you okay Zhou Min." Ask Huan Long.

"I'm fine." Zhou Min replied sweating. "Let's continue the journey." Reply Huan Long. "okay." Zhou Min nodded. Huan Long then walked followed by Zhou Min and Xie Min.

A few minutes later Huan Long arrived at the spacious place and saw dozens of people choosing books and weapons. "Right prince, I advise you to stay here. And don't go into the next hallway." Huan Long looked at Zhou Min.

"All right, I'll stay here. Then are you going to get into the hall." Reply Zhou Min. "Right, I'm going into the hall." Said Huan Long walking towards the weapon rack and choosing an epic level shield.

"Epic Level Shield. Info: The shield made by Blacksmith Tian Hu. Durability 40/40. Effects can withstand all expert level attacks."
