After collecting those ancient magical weapons, the group wanted to go deeper, but they found that the road ahead was blocked.

Come to think of it, if they could get out, these Deadpools would have left long ago.

It is simply of no value for them to suffocate to death here.

Looking at the solid stone wall, Bane sighed helplessly.

"It seems that the tower spirit only wants us to go here. Even if we take another route, it should change the destination to here."

Carl: "I really don't know what is buried in the central area that the tower spirit is so protective of."

As he spoke, he knocked on the stone wall.

Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to try to dig.

The situation in the central area is different from that in the outer area. The space here has been specially treated, just like the interior of the Mage Tower.

The stone wall may just be a simple stone wall, but there may be a space crack behind it.

This thing is basically equivalent to a random star portal. If it is dug out, Carl and his friends might have to drift to another world again.

There are many giant ruins that can be explored, so it is not worth taking such a risk just to find out what is in this ruins.

"Okay, let's go back the same way. I hope everything is fine with the power armor. It would be bad if someone was killed."

Carrying the dimensional bags, the group returned to the heavy truck.

It seemed that this place had not been discovered by anyone yet, and the surroundings were no different from when they left.

After getting back in the car, still with the same configuration as before, Carl and Bane drove out of the ruins.

The road was almost unobstructed, and even if we encountered other adventurers, they would only give way after a little panic.

After leaving the ruins, the group of adventurers who were at the door had already left. Carl and his companions did not stay for long and continued to move towards the deeper areas of Xen'drik.

The road meandered forward, and at some point, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed again.

To Carl's surprise, he had been to this place before.

"Isn't this the place where we encountered the drow and spider elves last time?"

To be honest, Carl felt it was a coincidence that he could come to this place again at this time.

He stepped on the accelerator and the heavy truck drove down the slope to the place where the drow had driven the advance before.

"My F..."

In the open space, dried corpses were lying on the ground in all directions.

Their shriveled bodies looked as if they had been left in the desert to dry out for several months.

But what is strange is that these mummies actually have some kind of obscene smile on their faces.

"Is this the Hehuan Sect attacking us?"

Looking at this scene, Carl's first thought was that a witch from the Hehuan Sect had invaded the world of Eberron.

After all, there seems to be no similar spells or abilities in Eberron that can squeeze men into this state.

Of course, if this is the leaked technology of the mutant demons, it doesn’t seem too shocking.

After all, they can even create symbiotes, so it doesn't seem difficult to come up with a spell to replenish yin and yang.

"Do you want to go down and take a look?"

Bane, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was also shocked after seeing this scene.

Although he had not actually experienced the scene at that time, he heard Carl talk about the conflict with Zhuoer when they chatted a few days ago.

These mummies in front of them were obviously the male adventurers who stayed here. Instead of living a life of enjoyment by having sex three or five times a day, they became victims of some kind of spell.

“I wonder what their ex-partners and ex-girlfriends would think when they find out about their situation.”

From a male's perspective, Carl cannot say that these people's choices at the time were wrong. Confucius said, "Food and sex are part of human nature."

It is human nature to pursue delicious food and beautiful women.

However, these people obviously forgot that the gift from fate had already been secretly marked with a price.

Look, the scene of corpses everywhere today is the result of them paying the price.

After a few seconds of silence for these playboys, Carl was about to start the car and move forward, but the constant earth-shaping magic at the bottom of the truck caused part of the soil on the surface to roll over, revealing a stone slab underneath.

There were unknown patterns carved on the stone slab, and just by looking at it, Carl felt his spiritual power become more active.

"What is that?"

Things that can trigger psychic induction are still quite rare in the main plane. Apart from the previous psychic absorption article, this is the first time that Carl's psychic energy has been aroused by external objects.

Subconsciously, Karl stepped on the brakes, opened the door and jumped out.

The truck's stalling also caught the attention of Hope and the other two.

Seeing that the car did not restart for a long time, they also walked out of the back car.

"Karl, what happened?"

However, as soon as they appeared, Ying and Xie's attention was attracted by the patterns on the ground.

The light of psychic energy shone from their bodies, and their breathing became more rapid.

"Blindfold them with cloth!"

Just then, Carl spoke.

By the way, he also threw a piece of black cloth into Hope's hands.

Upon hearing this, Hope immediately followed Carl's instructions and tore off the black cloth to block Shadow and Scorpion's vision.

"Don't pick them yet. You just saw the patterns on the ground and they made you crazy. Keep it like this for now."

While warning the two, Hope reached out and held them back so that Ying and Scorpion could feel more secure.

In the middle of the open space, Carl was still using a micro-construct to clear the dirt on the ground to expose more patterns.

Thanks to the help of his intelligence attribute, although Carl's psychic powers become active when he sees patterns, he is not like Shadow and Scorpion who cannot control themselves.

"This pattern looks like it was etched not long ago. The overall pattern is somewhat similar to the spirit absorption pattern, but it is obviously not the same thing. It's like... just like the connection between the giant rune and the magic pattern."

Carl quickly recorded the patterns on the ground in his mind. He felt dizzy and many beautiful thoughts flashed through his mind from time to time.

But he forced himself to write it down and then recorded it with a video device.

Only after confirming that no one was left out did Carl let everyone get on the bus.

"Bain, you should be able to drive by now. Let's return to base. Today's exploration ends here."

Covering his forehead, Karl just sat in the co-pilot seat and closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

Bane quickly started the car and backed up, then turned the car around and drove away from the center of Xen'drik.

I don’t know how much time had passed before Carl woke up slowly.

At this time, the sky had turned completely dark.

The truck's lights had automatically turned on, and the group was still circling the adventure zone of Xen'drik.

This is a common occurrence and is also the most unfriendly aspect for newbies.

Many newcomers originally planned to explore for a while and then go back, but in the end they were dragged into a tug-of-war.

Legend has it that the most unlucky newcomer wandered around the outer areas for three days before returning to Storm Bay.

"Karl? Are you awake? I'm afraid it will take us some time to get back to the base. Let's eat something first."

He shook his head, and a faint psychic light escaped from his eyes as Carl blinked continuously.

He felt that his spiritual power had become stronger than ever before.

However, this feeling is mainly an illusion caused by the sudden increase in spiritual energy.

As Carl's mind started working again, psychic energy penetrated his body and covered the area within a radius of several dozen meters.

Ying and Xie, who were originally sitting cross-legged in the carriage, immediately felt the psychic energy coming from Carl and were suddenly awakened from their meditation state.

"It seems that Carl has woken up."

Looking towards the front of the car, Ying was silent for a moment, and then spoke to comfort Hope, who was worried about Carl's condition.

Hope actually felt something strange and familiar, but after hearing what Ying said, her expression did improve a lot.

"I never thought that some of the patterns would include three people in our team."

Forcing a smile, Hope made a rare joke.

Ying and Xie smiled awkwardly.

Compared to Carl, their condition is actually not much better.

What is even more difficult for them to talk about is that while their spiritual energy is surging, their sexual desire is also becoming uncontrollably restless.

If the two of them were not a bit reserved, they might have masturbated in the car.

Along the way, Scorpion wanted to ask Bane in front to stop the car several times, and then drag Bane to the nearby woods to solve the problem.

But Ying didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to speak rashly.

Suddenly, the truck stopped.

Ying's heart skipped a beat, but deep down in his heart, some anticipation emerged.

She lifted the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead, and some brighter "blushes" appeared on her lavender skin, just like Black Lily in Overwatch.

However, after a moment, the car started again.

While feeling relieved, Ying also felt a little disappointed.

In the cab, Carl and Bane changed their seats and sat down.

Carl took control of the steering wheel and steered the truck to where he liked.

When the adventure group fails to jump back to Storm Bay within a certain number of times, the person responsible for guiding the direction will be replaced by other characters with higher "perception".

There is no reason for this custom, but because most lost adventure groups use this method to get out of the adventure area, this method is very popular among adventurers.

I don’t know if there is any real reason for this method. After jumping twice again, the group actually returned to Storm Bay.

Not only that, they also came back from the cave on the west side.

An adventure group walking ahead of them was startled by the sudden appearance of the huge mechanical creature.

If Carl hadn't reacted quickly, several people might have been swept under the wheels.

"Huh~, I'm finally back."

Looking at the familiar scene, Carl and Bane breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the cave, the group immediately headed towards the underground ruins.

When they finally arrived at their destination, the moonlight had already filled the earth.

After parking the truck at the entrance of the underground ruins, the five people took out their off-road motorcycles and returned to the base. Carl activated his ability and summoned the front of the car and the carriage to the second floor of the base respectively.
