hearing xue zilin’s unreserved words …
the gray-haired man’s face turned red, then green, and then white.
in the end, he lowered his head and hid the trace of hatred in his eyes. he said dejectedly,
“you guys ask, i’ll answer.”
xue zilin glanced at him and repeated his question,
“how did you find the ruins? tell me everything, including the entire process of the exploration.”
the gray-haired man recalled as he organized his words.
bai wushang quickly learned that one of the other party’s team members had accidentally discovered a cave that had collapsed and revealed itself.
after venturing deeper, it was determined to be an unexplored ruin.
he immediately gathered all the members of the wild dogs to explore together.
from the description, the passage they used to enter the ruins was completely different from the one they used.
it only took them a day to reach the crystal beetle building.
the monsters they encountered along the way were basically all at the mature stage. they did not advance step by step, from weak to strong, but more like they had reached the core in one step.
“how many of you are left? the overall equipment, responsibilities, pet type, strength … the more detailed, the better!” an xiaorou asked.
the gray-haired man was slightly used to the rhythm of this question-and-answer session, and he replied simply, ”
“we have a total of fifteen people. five died on the way, and now two more … not including me, there are seven more.”
” i’m in charge of keeping watch outside. at the same time, i’m also investigating the environment. if there’s anything abnormal, i need to report to boss immediately. ”
at this point, he laughed bitterly and said a little flattery, ”
” but your attacks were too sharp and ended the battle as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. we didn’t even have the chance to react … ”
no one paid any attention to him, making the gray-haired man feel a little awkward.
ten seconds later, sobina raised her head and looked at the entrance of the crystal beetle.
“the other seven people are inside, right? what were they doing? how much do you know about this building?”
when the master of the ogres had encountered danger, his subconscious reaction had been to escape through the door.
in addition, the three-man team was responsible for keeping watch.
sobina was certain that the wild dog’s exploration of the ruins had reached a very deep level.
the information he had was definitely higher than theirs.
the gray-haired man glanced at their expressions, but he couldn’t figure it out. he cautiously replied, ”
” this building … is the core of the ruins. it’s a tomb. ”
“the stone tablet next to the entrance is the best evidence.”
bai wushang and sobina took a closer look. there was indeed a very small stone tablet embedded on the right side of the giant crystal door that had been shattered.
there were two lines of small characters carved on it. the red characters were a little mottled, but they were still complete.
“the tomb of xu rong, the descendant of the xu family …”
bai wushang repeated it twice and suddenly raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing surprise, ”
“no wonder, no wonder this place is filled with insects, it’s his tomb!”
the rest of his teammates looked like they were reminiscing, and then they came to a realization.
as the elites of the academy, although they did not major in history, they still had some important knowledge.
this xu rong was the last member of the royal family of a dynasty called the xu dynasty that had existed 1200 years ago.
this dynasty had lasted for 500 years, which was not a long time.
when it fell into the hands of xu rong’s father, it had completely declined, collapsed, and shattered.
after that, the xu dynasty collapsed and was removed from the seventh domain.
after hundreds of years of turmoil, the current red dragon emperor had re-opened the territory and established a new dynasty and order.
this was how the great qian dynasty was born.
” i remember this person has a nickname,’insect fanatic’! ”
jiang feng was in high spirits. after connecting all the causes and effects, a lot of information was revealed.
bai wushang nodded slightly and didn’t argue.
xu rong was a descendant of the last generation of the xu dynasty. his talent was ordinary, and he was only a mystical general in his life.
it was a disgrace to the identity he once held.
but he didn’t care.
xu rong was rich, and the last bit of savings of a dynasty all belonged to him.
even if it was insignificant compared to the peak, it was more than enough to cultivate a few undying bodies.
however, he didn’t use it for cultivation at all. he used it all for pleasure.
ever since he was young, he only had one hobby.
the insects.
he didn’t care about money, power, women, family grudges, or anything else.
xu rong only had a special love for insects, and he couldn’t stop.
in the books that bai wushang had read, there was only a small amount of ink, but all of it was used to describe how much he loved insects, to the point of going crazy.
it was the most basic operation since his pets were all insects.
no servants or relatives could get close to his living quarters.
whether it was free-range or caged, it was a paradise for insects.
in addition to larvae and adult worms, xu rong also liked to collect eggs.
regardless of whether it was common or rare, as long as he did not obtain it, he would spend a lot of money to buy it.
it could be said that his food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all inseparable from insects.
“this is a very pure person, so pure that it’s intimidating!”
bai wushang recalled the last comment about xu rong in the book, and he fell silent.
as his thoughts rose, the previous hundreds of egg chambers and the strange insect species he had encountered so far had all been solved.
he then thought of the earth snail. in comparison, its appearance was very reasonable.
it was almost certain that this was one of xu rong’s collections, and it must be the most precious one.
“is it possible that there is more than one?”
this thought flashed through his teammate’s mind, and he was slightly excited.
bai wushang had already known that there were at least three ancient bug eggs, two earth snails, and one ancient everchanging bug.
as for whether there would be a fourth one, he had no way of knowing.
however, the last descendant of a dynasty.
even if he had been extravagant in his life, the wealth he left behind after death was not likely to be a small amount.
other than the ancient insect eggs, there must be other burial items.
everyone exchanged glances, and xue zilin turned to the gray-haired man, calmly asking,
“you haven’t answered me yet. what’s in this building? what is the degree of danger involved?”
“don’t tell me you don’t know. you’ve been keeping in touch.”
” moreover, if you dare to run inside when you encounter danger, it means that you think it’s safer inside the building. at least, you’ve completed most of the exploration before you dare to do so, right? ”
the gray-haired man’s mouth was half-open, and he hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, ”
” this ruin … the danger itself is relatively limited. it’s mainly the insect-type monsters that block the way. one is large in number, while the other is large in variety. ”
“as for other things, we didn’t encounter any traps or killing arrays from the outside to the inside.”
” in comparison to the rewards, this ruin can be said to be a land of treasures with medium risk and high rewards! ”
“this crystal building is the same.”
” however, the interior of this building has been severely damaged. there’s an earth snail at the peak of its mature form … ”
