The interior of the ruins was quite dark, similar to the previous one.
However, unlike the previous one, the entrance passage to this ruin was quite spacious, and there were also streaks of firelight in the distance that could barely illuminate the path ahead.
The entire site thus appears deep and mysterious.
After entering the ruins, Lin Xu already had the golden sword and boomerang in his hands.
He had a trap detector hanging on his chest, which would sound an alarm and flash red if it detected a trap.
However, before Lin Xu had gone very far, the detector suddenly beeped, with a very piercing buzzing sound.
The next moment, the ground and the left and right walls began to move, and a large number of rockets were launched from inside.
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow, thinking that this trap was completely unoriginal, but he didn't slow down and started running forward.
As he began to run, the entire passage was like a cannon that had been ignited, with all sorts of traps and hidden weapons appearing.
Lin Xu ran a few steps forward, and a spear was shot down from above his head.
The ground ahead collapsed, attempting to trap Lin Xu inside.
With a swing of his golden sword, Lin Xu guided the metal darts, changing their direction and landing on either side of him.
Lin Xu then leaped across the pit ahead.
But the trap didn't stop. The ground in front of them began to sink, and rockets started shooting from behind.
Lin Xu had no choice but to continue jumping and running, using his longsword to block or deflect various arrows, spears, or poisonous creatures along the way.
He ran and waved his weapon as he went, covering at least several dozen meters.
Just as the trap paused for a moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from above.
A huge boulder fell from above.
Lin Xu rushed forward to avoid the rolling stones, but then another loud crash came from ahead, and another rolling stone fell from the opposite side.
The ground here slopes towards the center, meaning that two rolling stones will come from both sides and crush the person in the middle into mincemeat.
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow.
He had to admit that, in terms of threat level, this ruin was far more exaggerated than the last one, and the intensity of the traps was also much more terrifying.
However, unlike his previous exploration of the ruins, his strength had increased considerably.
Thinking this, Lin Xu waved his hand to put away the golden sword and boomerang, and then charged straight toward the rolling boulder in front of him.
With a loud bang.
Lin Xu collided with the rolling stones in front of him.
However, the rolling stone failed to crush Lin Xu. Instead, Lin Xu supported it with both hands and pushed it so that it could not roll down.
Lin Xu stared at the rolling stones in front of him, roared in his heart, and suddenly exerted force with his hands and feet.
With his current strength, he is comparable to some large machines.
Faced with Lin Xu's immense strength, the solid boulder, five or six meters high, was unable to roll downwards; instead, it was pushed backwards little by little.
Lin Xu exerted force with both hands again, and the rolling stone was actually dented downwards, leaving two handprints.
Then Lin Xu suddenly squeezed his arms together.
The boulder cracked open with a snap, splitting into two halves, with the middle section completely collapsing into rock fragments.
Lin Xu kicked out, sending the rolling stones crashing to either side.
The boulder behind him was still rolling, trying to crush Lin Xu.
But Lin Xu had already run out quickly, rushing through the entrance passage to the next location.
This is a cave-like terrain, and the surrounding area is very open.
Only a single red wildfire in the center of the cave provided a meager illumination of the central area.
Lin Xu took a breath and looked around. Then he felt a faint breath, as if it were right next to his ear.
"who!"
Lin Xu flipped his hand and took out the golden sword, while simultaneously turning on the high-brightness flashlight on his chest to dispel the darkness in front of him.
"Hehehe, so powerful and so alert, you're really excellent, adventurer."
An exceptionally soft and alluring female voice came from behind a large stalactite in the cave.
Lin Xu glanced over there, then his eyes flickered slightly, and for a moment he was actually quite amazed.
Because a figure was gracefully emerging from behind that stalactite.
The figure was quite tall, at least two meters high.
The figure was roughly a woman, but she had bat wings on her back, goat horns on her head, and seemed to be wearing a purple leather outfit.
But upon closer inspection, the leather outfit looked more like some kind of skin, directly attached to the woman's body, like a purple robe that barely covered her exaggerated figure.
The woman was also stunningly beautiful, with perfectly proportioned features that made her extremely alluring.
However, the woman's features were not delicate or well-proportioned, but rather possessed an unusually striking allure and beauty. Although her mouth was small, the corners of her lips were always subtly upturned.
The woman's eyes were also slanted upwards, making them appear eerie and long.
In the blink of an eye, the woman had walked to a spot not far from Lin Xu, one hand placed in front of her chest and the other raised under her chin, displaying an exaggerated body and looking at Lin Xu in a seductive and alluring manner.
Lin Xu frowned and stared at the woman, wondering where she had come from.
When he entered the cave, he didn't see any other creatures.
But this woman just appeared out of nowhere.
He looked at the woman's face again; she looked exactly like a demon from legends.
"A demon? That's a good name; it suits me quite well."
The woman suddenly spoke, a seductive smile playing on her lips as she spoke alluringly to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself:
"Mind reading? This demon can read my mind?"
The woman chuckled:
"That's a good point. I can definitely hear what you're thinking."
Lin Xu felt a chill run down his spine.
An opponent who can read minds is not an easy opponent to deal with.
He immediately tried to confuse his thoughts, thinking about many things at the same time, and uttering a lot of meaningless, noisy language.
"Hmm... what a noisy sound. Do you want to defy my mind-reading ability?"
The woman frowned slightly, her beautiful brows furrowing, but she covered her mouth and looked at Lin Xu with a hint of mockery:
"However, your attempt is pointless. I can still hear your true voice accurately... Your name is Lin Xu, and you are an island owner..."
"Has the world really degenerated to this extent? Those disgusting nobles actually rule the world. Humans are truly a pathetic bunch..."
Hearing the woman's words, Lin Xu finally stopped his internal monologue.
He had just tried to hide some words deep in his mind, but the woman actually found them.
It seems this mind-reading technique isn't so easy to crack.
However, he also subtly used some tricks, such as deliberately mentioning the current state of humanity.
The female demon did indeed express some thoughts.
So, does this female demon not belong to this era?
Isn't the island world supposed to be a world of advanced technology and mysterious powers? How could there be demons?
The devilish woman sensed Lin Xu's thoughts and glanced at him with slight surprise, then gave a reproachful sound, both spoiled and arrogant:
"You actually came up with the idea of using your thoughts to test my origins. Human, you're really not someone to be trifled with..."
