Just as Gu Shi thought, quite a few people have already entered this relic space.

The portal has become a small gathering point for these adventurers. Many people are active here, and it looks quite lively.

After vaguely seeing the figures of other humans in the fog, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He approached the portal with brisk steps, and just when he was thinking of finding someone to ask about the situation, he unexpectedly saw two slightly familiar figures.

Because the fog obscured his vision, Gu Shi couldn't see clearly. He tentatively called out to the front, "Zhang Nan? Ji Wen?"

The two men turned around at the same time when they heard his voice. Gu Shi took a closer look and found that it was indeed them.

After confirming their identities, Gu Shi trotted over to them and asked in surprise, "Long time no see, why are you here?"

Ever since they parted ways in the small town of Melia, Gu Shi had never had the chance to see the five of them again.

Looking back now, it has been several years since I last worked with them. Time flies so fast.

Zhang Nan and Ji Wen obviously had not forgotten Gu Shi, their companion who had once shared an adventure with them, and they all greeted him.

Zhang Nan came up and put his arm around Gu Shi's shoulder enthusiastically. "Gu Shi? It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect to see you here."

Ji Wen also smiled and nodded to Gu Shi, answering his previous question: "There was news from above that there is a ruin here, and they sent our team to explore it."

Gu Shi finally realized that he was quite surprised to see them just now. He blurted out questions without thinking carefully about them. It was he who leaked the news about the ruins.

Gu Shi touched his head and asked again, "So that's how it is. Are you two the only ones who came in? Where are the others?"

Zhang Nan shook his head. "Besides Ji Wen and I, my brother also came in, but Brother Zhenxing and Sister Qin Yao were stopped outside."

Ji Wen pointed to a crowded area nearby and said, "Not long ago, the fog that had been covering the city began to dissipate.

After we realized something was wrong, we were worried about possible danger, so we retreated early. The captain just went over there to get information, so he asked us to wait here for him."

“Speaking of which, these ruins are really strange. The buildings are obviously well-preserved, but when you go in, you find that most of them are empty.

We've been searching for so many days, but we haven't found much. Furthermore, there are so many magic circles and traps in the city that we could easily fall into a trap if we're not careful."

Zhang Nan couldn't help but complain to Gu Shi, "Alas, I had high hopes for this ruins before, but now it's like this, I feel like I might as well not have come."

After Gu Shi came out of the illusion, he had only been to Anthony's restaurant, and he really didn't know what the other houses looked like. It turned out that most of them were just empty shells.

But come to think of it, since the city finally fell into Anthony's hands, its previous owner must have taken away those precious things.

Moreover, it had been quite a while since Anthony left here and returned, and the city must have changed a lot.

When Anthony was restoring it to its former appearance, it was unlikely that he would go into detail about the internal facilities of each building. It was normal that Zhang Nan and his team did not gain anything.

Thinking of this, Gu Shi felt a little embarrassed. After all, if you really think about it, it can be said that he was the one who tricked Zhang Nan and the others into this ruins.

Just when Gu Shi was hesitating whether to persuade them to leave early, Zhang Bei came back.

Zhang Bei was also quite surprised to see Gu Shishi standing with Ji Wen, but after greeting Gu Shishi, he started to talk about business.

Zhang Bei had no intention of hiding anything from Gu Shi and directly told him all the information he had heard.

"I asked other people, and they didn't know why the fog dissipated, but judging by the current situation, this should be a good thing.

Aside from the fog dissipating, no other abnormalities have been found in the city. Judging from the current rate, it will soon no longer hinder our exploration operations."

After Zhang Bei finished speaking, Gu Shi continued, "Actually, I know what's going on about this.

The thing is, when I entered the ruins that day..."

Gu Shi lowered his voice and briefly told the three of them about his experiences over the past few days. After all, they were all family members, and it would not be right to just watch them waste their time and energy here.

Ji Wen adjusted his glasses. "Is that really the case? According to what you said, there really might not be anything in this ruins.

Captain, what do you think? Should we retreat early?

Zhang Bei hesitated for a moment, and after careful consideration, he said, "No rush, since we have been here for so long, why don't we stay for two more days?

After the fog has completely dissipated, we'll selectively visit some important places. We might find something. As for those ordinary buildings, we can ignore them for now."

Hearing their plan, Gu Shi rummaged through the space ring left by Anthony, took out a large stack of manuscripts and handed them to Zhang Bei.

"Here, this should be the architectural map of this city. It has annotations on the various magic arrays on the exterior of the buildings. Perhaps it can help you."

Zhang Bei took the stack of manuscripts and said, "Thank you, this is really helpful. None of us are proficient in magic circles."

Gu Shi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, but you have to keep this manuscript and return it to me after you get out.

Because it was recorded a long time ago, some of the magic circles in it may have been lost. I have to take it back to show my teacher."

Zhang Bei nodded, "Okay, I will definitely pay attention."

At this time, Zhang Nan interrupted and said, "Gu Shi, you gave all these things to us, but what about you? Why don't you join us from now on?"

Zhang Bei had no intention of rejecting Zhang Nan's proposal. Now it all depended on his own thoughts.

Gu Shi shook his head and rejected Zhang Nan's invitation.

"No, I already have plans for the rest of the time."

If you really want to calculate, the most important things in this relic have already been obtained by Gu Shi, and the rest depends on the fate of others.

Gu Shi planned to stay in the restaurant for the rest of the time and study the black book that Anthony left him.

"Since you have your own plans, we can't keep you any longer."

When Zhang Bei got the stack of manuscripts, he flipped through them roughly and found a map of the entire city. Now that he had this, he was not going to wait any longer.

"I just found a map. Zhang Nan, Ji Wen, let's set off now. Hurry up and seize the opportunity before the fog completely dissipates."

After saying this, Zhang Bei turned to look at Gu Shi and said, "Then we'll leave first."

"Bon Voyage."

After Zhang Bei and his companions disappeared from sight, Gu Shi also chose to leave.
