Chapter 948 Deep in the Ruins, Confusing

Qin Zhe had noticed the traces on the ground before.

After all, the overall traces are very obvious, pointing faintly to the right direction of the fork, and there is a high probability that they were left by the search team.

After looking at the road leading to the right and then at the road on the left, Qin Zhe frowned slightly.

For some reason, he had an inexplicable urge to go to the left.

Of course, there is no need to hesitate too much for the simple choice between the two.

With helping the search and rescue team as a priority, he and Dongfang Xu can only choose the right.

The interior of the ruins is much larger than Qin Zhe imagined, and it leads obliquely to the underground.

He walked with Dongfang Xu to find the stele, always walking straight underground along the only road in the ruins.

At this moment, based on rough physical judgment, the two of them were already at a depth of nearly 20,000 meters underground.

With such depth, I have to say that some people are a little uneasy.

The ground is not as good as the sky.

It is common for high-level practitioners to walk in the sky, and it is common to go up to 23,000 meters in the air.

But the depth of 20,000 meters below the ground made Qin Zhe feel very depressed.

Especially in the ruins, I feel isolated and can only rely on a pair of naked eyes.

Qin Zhe has always been a big-hearted type.

Even he felt oppressed, let alone the search and rescue personnel who went deep into the ruins for nearly two hours?

In addition, it is clear that there are certain dangerous aliens in the depths of the ruins.

The longer the time dragged on, the less likely he and Dongfang Xu would find the search and rescue personnel.

Qin Zhe didn't consider the possibility that the search and rescue personnel had already been wiped out.

Although the search and rescue personnel came in with the will to die, since they dared to come down, they must have some confidence.

Sacrifice must be meaningful to be called sacrifice.

If death is unknown and meaningless, it is called giving for nothing.

Withdrawing his gaze from the forked road on the left, Qin Zhe said.

"We will talk about the treasure of the human race mentioned in the ancient text on the stone tablet later. Now that we have confirmed the marks left by the search and rescue personnel, we will set off to find them now."

After speaking, Qin Zhe said again.

"As usual, I will go ahead and you will go behind, try not to stay away from me."

It was obvious that someone was a little worried about himself, Dongfang Xu frowned slightly, and whispered.

"I can take care of myself."

Qin Zhe was indeed a little worried about Dongfang Xu.

After all, after passing the stele, it is a known dangerous area.

He didn't know exactly what the fierce creature Dongfang Xu was talking about.

Judging by Dongfang Xu's appearance, I'm afraid he doesn't know much.

In the face of unknown threats, be cautious and prepare for mistakes.

But at this time, Dongfang Xu played against him.

What can I say?

Women are trouble.

Shaking his head secretly, Qin Zhe asked.

"You are alone, can you be sure to defeat the two eighth ranks who came down from the ruins earlier?"

"..."

Dongfang Xu was dumbfounded, tilted his head and said.

"You are so annoying."

Qin Zhe grinned when he heard the words, turned around and started walking.

Seeing this, Dongfang Xu followed closely behind him, keeping a step away from each other, and keeping an eye on his surroundings.

After all, she is no ordinary woman.

Being brave is one thing, being reasonable is another.

Leaving aside the item of hot temper, Dongfang Xu, as a high-level person in the Dragon Kingdom, has never been called a little woman.

She has her own considerations and her own ideas.

In essence, he just replied to Qin Zhe's mouth, Dongfang Xu was just instinctively stubborn.

She is not a fool.

Putting Qin Zhe's ninth-grade thigh in front of her, how could she be so stupid not to hug it?

Qin Zhe also saw this, so he didn't say much.

I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that Dongfang Xu will spare his life.

...

Go over the stele and go to the right from the fork.

Qin Zhe and Dongfang Xu kept a tacit understanding of moving forward at a constant speed, neither too fast nor too slow.

At the same time, the two were vigilant about their surroundings one after the other.

In the depths of the ruins, which are close to 20,000 meters underground, there is almost no light at all.

If it wasn't for the fact that the two of them practiced well and had good eyesight, it can be said that they could not see their fingers at this time, and they couldn't move forward at all.

Under the premise that the perception is isolated, with the eyes of two people, they can only peep clearly at the situation within a hundred meters around.

It is necessary to proceed with caution.

Before I knew it, more than half an hour passed.

Even though they were just walking, Qin Zhe and Dongfang Xu had covered a long distance in half an hour.

Seeing that there was no movement in the surrounding area, not to mention the fierce existence living underground, not even a living thing, Qin Zhe frowned.

It doesn't feel like there is anything under the ground.

If it weren't for the marks left by the search and rescue personnel on the ground for reference, he almost wondered if he had gone the wrong way.

Just thinking about it, Dongfang Xu whispered behind him.

"Qin Zhe, something doesn't seem right."

Qin Zhe turned his head when he heard the sound, and cast a questioning look at her.

Seeing this, Dongfang Xu stopped, looked around and said.

"The two eighth-levels who came down earlier were attacked shortly after passing the stone tablet and confirmed that there was a student's body lying on the side of the road. According to the two people, the number of fierce creatures existing in the ruins is very large, almost overwhelming Incredibly tough. We've traveled so far that we can't miss one."

After finishing speaking, she said again.

"Aside from the way you and I have traveled, the marks of search and rescue personnel have always continued, proving that they have not been attacked. This situation is a bit strange."

Hearing Dongfang Xu's words, Qin Zhe nodded.

"Things are really weird, I was thinking about this just now."

With that said, Qin Zhe thought for a while and asked.

"Is it credible for the two eighth-orders who came down earlier?"

Dongfang Xu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, obviously he didn't expect him to question this.

But after looking back at what happened during her trip, she had to express her understanding.

If she hadn't known the behavior of the two eighth-level people who came down earlier, and had confirmed that the two were seriously injured after fleeing with blood and leaving the ruins, she couldn't help but doubt it.

Without thinking too much, Dongfang Xu said.

"The two eighth ranks who came down before are all officials and not from the people."

Dongfang Xu's response was a little vague.

It has not been clearly stated whether the two eighth ranks who came down earlier are credible, but they are very important.

Officials, that must be credible.

Dragon Kingdom attaches great importance to the Kunlun restricted area.

It is absolutely impossible for dispatchers from the official level to be casual.

After confirming that the two eighth-levels were credible, Qin Zhe lowered his eyes and looked at the clearly visible traces on the ground.

"Dongfang, tell me... Could the traces under our feet be left by search and rescue personnel?"

? ? ?

Dongfang Xu's head was full of question marks, and he asked seriously.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Aside from you and me, the search and rescue personnel, and the two eighth-orders who came down earlier, there are more than 30 students who came down earlier."

Qin Zhe opened his mouth and said.

"According to what you said, the two eighth-level students who came down before were besieged by fierce creatures that existed in the ruins, and almost fell here. The two eighth-level teams had to retreat. How could more than 30 students continue to go deep? Leaving a dead body? Just because there are so many of them?"

"..."

Dongfang Xu was silent.

There are too many people, it is definitely not useful.

There are more than thirty students, whose cultivation is no more than the peak of the sixth order.

Even if the combat power of more than thirty people is tied together, a seventh-level peak can push them to the ground and rub them back and forth, how can it compare with two eighth-level ones?

Seeing that Dongfang Xu was silent, Qin Zhe continued to analyze on his own.

"Let's take a step back. The two eighth-levels who came down earlier came to find students. Exploring the interior of the ruins is only a secondary purpose. There are two forks where the stele is located. Instead, you are one of the two who came to search and rescue students. , will you and your companions choose to split up or go the same way?"
