Chapter 265: Sanctuary Center (8)
After stating a simple truth, Angelica sat on her staff and flew out first.
Then the rest of the team came out one after another.
"There's a big gate ahead, but it doesn't seem to be open yet."
"Behind several other open doors, you can see crystal switches."
After Angelica came out, she did not land on the ground. After circling the room several times in the air, she determined the situation behind the door.
"Stay where you are and prepare for defense."
"Brother Qiuqiu, come with me to turn on the other switches."
"If a monster appears, we will fly back to our previous defensive position."
After looking at the surrounding situation, Angelica took direct command.
"Okay, leave these two on the left to me."
After listening to the situation, Chief Qiu looked around and chose a location with more people, leaving the safer place for Angelica.
Then, the two of them easily opened all the mechanisms.
Fortunately, the mechanisms were all functioning normally, and the energy required to activate them was negligible. Relying on his spiritual power, along with his ability to perceive and manipulate various energies, Qiu used his mind to gather some non-spiritual energy and activate these switches.
Angelica forgot for a moment the special nature of Chief Chou's spiritual power.
"Boom~"
When Angelica suddenly came to her senses, the two closed doors were opened again.
"There were so many monsters just now, and they were quite powerful."
"How did the first survivor survive in this environment?"
As the door opened, there was still no movement around. Sean remembered the team of explorers Angelica had mentioned earlier.
The strength and number of these monsters clearly matched and exceeded the survivor's description.
With doubts about the information, Sean couldn't help but ask.
"It's been so long, and our team configuration is different."
"It's hard for me to guess what happened to those adventurers back then."
"However, judging from the previous agency's response."
"That survivor is most likely locked outside the room."
"Because he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, his description of the number of monsters inside was inaccurate."
"And that team of adventurers most likely doesn't have spatial energy sensors like us."
"Because they failed to determine the location of the mechanism, it was triggered before the entire team entered the room."
Angelica thought about it and made her own guess about Sean's question.
"You can only learn from other people's experiences. Different people have different situations."
"The adventurer's experience ends here."
"The dangers ahead can only depend on ourselves."
"let's go."
Angelica summarized what had happened before and then commanded the team to continue their journey.
"But speaking of which, the experience of this team reminds me of the past."
"In the other ruins, we took precautions in this regard from the very beginning."
"Now that I think about it, we've all been a bit slack."
After walking a few steps, Angelica recalled the situation when the two teams were just getting used to each other.
After hearing what Angelica had just said, several people in the front row of the team stopped, and then the entire team stopped for a moment.
"What are you stopping here for?"
"The crystal switch in front is clearly visible. There will definitely be no problem with this door."
Angelica looked at the stopped team and said a few words in a bad mood.
"Hehe~"
After listening to this, Sean laughed embarrassedly twice. Charlotte beside him also blushed a little. The little beast girl Shilonai turned her head away and looked at other places in the ruins.
After a short delay, the team moved forward normally again.
After entering the open door, everyone walked up a flight of stairs and then went to the stairwell on the next level. There was a relatively spacious platform where the two crystal switches mentioned above were located.
"Don't worry about the mechanism for now, there are enemies."
As his strength increased, Qiu Chief's ability to sense various energies increased, and his sensitivity also improved. Therefore, Qiu Chief directly sensed subtle energy fluctuations to his left and right. Considering that the guardian monsters within the ruins were usually created by energy, Qiu Chief spoke out to stop Sean and Charlotte, telling them not to try to activate the mechanism.
Then, there were noises coming from both sides. Several dark elves appeared out of thin air on each side and landed on the platform.
Facing the monsters from both sides, several melee fighters quickly adjusted their positions. The narrow terrain directly trapped the dark elves from both sides.
For some unknown reason, the place where the dark elves appeared was surrounded by high stone walls on three sides. The height above the stone walls was exactly the height allowed for jumping and flying in the ruins.
In this small space, the dark elves' agile fighting style was completely restricted.
The ranged players in the team can basically affect all the dark elves on one side with their area skills.
The group of people did not give the dark elves a chance to fight back. They started with high-intensity skills, directly injuring and stunning the dark elves. Then their teammates followed up with other skills and easily dealt with them.
"That's it?"
Sean chuckled and returned to his previous position to turn on the crystal switch. Because the enemy had already appeared, Sean knew that this switch no longer had the feeling of opening a blind box.
"Don't underestimate the monster just now."
"The ruins are currently in ruins, and the enemy's strength has also weakened."
"What's more, these mechanisms were originally supposed to defend against thieves consisting of only one or two people."
"If you were alone, facing the siege of these dark elves, you would basically be dead."
Perhaps because she was afraid that Sean would let his guard down, Angelica spoke up and gave a brief explanation of what had just happened.
After listening to this, Sean couldn't help scratching his head, as if Angelica was right.
After the mechanism was activated, the gate of the ruins in front opened and a group of people climbed up the stairs.
Afterwards, a group of people fought in the ruins while climbing towards the end of the journey, halfway up the mountain.
The enemies encountered later were not very strong, and even the mechanisms that appeared along the way were not much different.
Until they came to a room that was several times larger than the previous one, and the interior of the room was the same as before, with closed doors on all sides.
According to Angelica and Chief Qiu's perception, there are many mechanisms inside the room.
However, the mechanisms here are different from the previous disordered ones. This time, they are distributed at the entrances of each gate.
Except for the door where everyone came in, all other doors have mechanisms.
"These mechanisms are all located in front of the other entrances."
"The door we're coming from doesn't have a mechanism. You all should go to the middle of the room first."
"Be careful, don't touch other mechanisms."
"Otherwise, the team might be split into two."
Because the room's layout was so familiar, Sean told Angelica to check it out. Angelica then called Chief Qiu along. After the two of them flew past the crowd and observed the room from the doorway for a moment, Angelica briefly explained the layout.
