The dawn of the early morning had just surfaced, and Ian was already standing in the square of the City of Ashes, gazing gravely at the assembled crowd.
For this trip to the relics, the three major forces had all sent their strongest elites: the Brotherhood of Steel's neatly organized and heavily armored warriors, the Enlightenment Alliance's swift and nimble psychic elites, and the Free Chamber of Commerce's high-ranking members who were armed to the teeth with all kinds of equipment. All of them had steely and serious gazes, and everyone knew clearly that the ferocity of this quest far exceeded anything they had experienced in the past.
William, Alexander and Adrian each stood at the front of the group and exchanged a silent look with each other. Ian calmly stepped forward and turned to face everyone, his voice clear and firm, "Everyone, this action is crucial and may determine the future of the City of Ashes. We must be united, and no matter what dangers lie ahead, we must do our best to resolve the crisis in the ruins!"
The crowd responded in unison, "Yes!" The sound echoed over the plaza, shaking people's hearts.
Under Ian's leadership, the large group quickly traveled to the farm outside the city. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the bizarre relic.
A faint blue light emanated from the entrance, and the energy fluctuations were calm with a vaguely treacherous and dangerous aura. Adrian said excitedly, "That's right! This is the feeling, it is indeed the energy fluctuation of the relic, I have felt it before, it is absolutely not wrong!"
Ian walked to the entrance and turned around to remind, "Everyone, pay attention, we don't know exactly what's going on inside, everything should be handled with care."
As soon as the words fell, he led the way and stepped into the entrance of the relic. Following closely behind were William, Alexander, Adrian, and many elite warriors.
However, the moment the crowd stepped into the ruins, the originally calm blue light suddenly fluctuated violently, and the dazzling blue light instantly engulfed everyone.
"What is this!" William exclaimed, and before his words fell, his person had already disappeared into the blue light.
In the blink of an eye, Ian also felt an intense dizziness, and when he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had completely changed.
Ian quickly looked around and realized that he was standing in an unfamiliar passageway, the others were nowhere to be found, and the walls around him were glowing with a faint blue light, empty and silent. He quickly became alert and gripped the long lightning blade in his hand, ready to deal with any threats that might arise. "System, what's going on, where did the others go?"
[The host has entered the relics, the others were randomly teleported to other locations in the relics, there are a large amount of treasures in the relics, you can leave when you find the exit of the relics, please explore on your own].
After hearing the system reply, Ian had a judgment of the current situation, "Is anyone there?" Ian tried to call out.
"Damn it! Can you be quiet?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, Ian quickly turned around and found Adrian standing not far behind him with a displeased face. "Be more careful in this unknown environment."
"Adrian?" Ian raised his eyebrows slightly, then let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that at least the two of us are not separated."
Adrian grunted lightly and said with a fake coldness, "I'd rather be with William or Alexander, who are at least Luminary class, than with you, the guy who's always getting me into trouble."
Ian bitterly laughed and shook his head, then said seriously, "Since it's already like this, we can only move forward together. The key now is to find the others as soon as possible, or explore this place first."
Adrian sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, listen to you, after all, you discovered the ruins, you will have a better understanding of them." Although his mouth said reluctantly, he still followed closely beside Ian, ready to strike at any time.
Ian thought slightly sheepishly, "Actually, my knowledge of this relic is about the same as yours."
The two of them walked slowly along the passage, the structure of the relic was unusually complex, the surrounding walls were carved with strange and mysterious symbols and patterns. Ian scrutinized the symbols while Adrian looked around vigilantly to guard against possible dangers.
Suddenly, a faint hissing sound came from the front, and Ian and Adrian quickly exchanged glances, immediately alerting each other.
The two moved forward silently, and soon discovered a group of strange mutated creatures roaming around inside a huge room. These creatures were oddly shaped, covered in hard armor, with scarlet eyes, and emitted creepy hisses from time to time.
"Looks like we've run into trouble," Adrian said softly, "It's just some SPARK level, it can be easily solved."
Ian calmly analyzed, "Not sure if there are other enemies behind us, it's risky to do it directly, let's try to go around and try not to startle them."
Adrian nodded, and the two quickly searched for shadows at the edge of the room and tried to carefully go around.
However, just as the two were about to go around the creatures, one of the mutant beasts suddenly stopped moving, seemingly sensing something, and slowly turned its head, its red eyes staring at where the two were.
"Crap, it's been detected!" Ian warned in a low voice, quickly preparing for battle.
The mutant beast let out a sharp hiss, instantly attracting the attention of the other mutant beasts, which turned their direction and rushed towards Ian and Adrian in unison.
"Looks like we'll just have to do it!" Adrian grumbled, while quickly releasing his own supernatural ability, the shadow power quickly spread out, killing the closest few mutant beasts directly in seconds.Luminary level casual attacks were all but irresistible to SPARK level.
Ian, on the other hand, quickly swung his lightning long knife, the blade carrying strong lightning power to the charging mutant beasts, instantly killing several of them. Although there were quite a few mutant beasts, they were quickly killed cleanly in the face of the two men's formidable power.
It was good that the battle didn't attract more enemies, and after the battle ended, "This relic is more dangerous than we thought, we must be more cautious."
Adrian muttered in dissatisfaction, "It's only been a few minutes since we came in and there's so much trouble, what bad luck."
