Walking in the long metal passage.

Follow the gaze downwards.

The steps, made of metal, all extend downward in a spiral shape, like some kind of drill.

Whether it was Xishenlian or Tianyuanli, they could both clearly hear the sound of their own footsteps echoing in the quiet passage.

However, Tian Yuanli could only judge that the passage was very deep.

However, Xi Shenlian immediately determined the approximate length of the passage through the reflection of the footsteps.

Based on the time it took for the footsteps to reflect back and forth, he determined that this was a corridor approximately five hundred meters long.

He understood that since even the corridor was so long, the actual diameter of the ruins must be at least several kilometers.

Maybe it is an ancient fortress or an ancient city.

Of these two possibilities.

The probability of the former is higher.

Because Xi Shenlian did not see any obvious signs of life in this corridor.

I want to come.

Not many people use this place.

He felt that this place probably existed as some kind of private secret fortress.

certainly……

It is also possible that this place serves as someone's secret tomb.

It is precisely because of these reasons.

Xi Shenlian was not very interested in things before.

He didn't think there was any treasure that would make him want to dig up someone else's grave.

After walking for a while.

Xi Shenlian, who was observing the surrounding situation, became more certain of his guess.

This place is either the private fortress or the tomb of a high-level awakener.

Because he found that the air concentration in the entire building became thinner as he went down, until it gradually became almost non-existent.

and.

I walked for several hundred meters but didn't see any luminous objects or equipment.

There aren't even the most basic candles and vents!

This situation means that the guys using this place don't need light and air.

groups that meet these characteristics.

There are only high-level awakeners on this planet!

Ordinary people, warriors, and even those who are not strong enough in the initial stage of awakening will find it difficult to survive here, so it is impossible for this place to exist as a city.

After taking a quick glance at Tian Yuanli, who looked a little uncomfortable because the air around him was becoming increasingly thinner and almost a vacuum environment.

Xi Shenlian's thoughts moved slightly.

Invisible fresh air immediately began to flow inside the building.

Make the other person feel much better immediately.

Feel the presence of fresh air.

Tian Yuanli took a look at Xi Shenlian beside him and immediately understood the situation. He sighed softly:

"What a useful [superpower]..."

Then he took the initiative to say with a somewhat uncomfortable look:

"Thanks……"

As an awakener in the [initial awakening stage].

Although she can hold her breath for a long time, she has no problem not breathing for half an hour.

However, low demand does not mean that there is no relevant demand at all.

So Xi Shenlian's actions did give her real help.

Thanks to her.

Xi Shenlian shrugged slightly:

"It's just a small matter."

That nonchalant attitude made Tian Yuanli speechless. He could only say that high-level awakeners really do whatever they want.

Just when she wanted to say something else.

As she took another step up the stairs, she stepped onto the next step.

A sudden sense of crisis immediately emerged in her heart!

Her body instinctively responded by trying to do something.

But, she hasn't taken any formal action yet.

“Bang!”

That was a huge noise!

The sound was so loud that it was as if hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploded right in the face.

The loud noise instantly spread throughout the entire corridor and was constantly reflected back and forth by the metal barriers surrounding the corridor.

It became more and more deafening, like continuous thunder!

The strong airflow automatically spread out at the same time, blowing Tian Yuanli's hair like a hurricane.

By the time she fully reacted.

I only saw Xi Shenlian beside me raised his hand at some point.

Look around.

On the palm of his hand that was blocking in front of him.

Several metal objects, about 20 cm long, 3 cm in diameter, dark black in color, with extremely sharp heads, were spinning rapidly.

now.

Even though he had completely blocked it.

Those things are still spinning at high speed with the remaining momentum!

The speed is so fast.

Tian Yuanli couldn't see clearly at all.

And waves of shock waves are still being released until this moment.

The surrounding air was constantly distorted, and even small tornadoes formed above Xi Shenlian's palm!

Looking at this scene.

Tian Yuanli breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he brought a [Self-Awakener] with him.

otherwise.

Perhaps she had already been tricked when she heard the sound.

Incidentally, she secretly regretted that she had let her guard down after advancing smoothly for several hundred meters before...

For the awakened ones.

So-called sound is usually an extremely slow thing.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to detect the attack before the sound came.

That means you have already been infected.

Therefore, when you are in a completely unfamiliar place, it is necessary to keep an eye on all directions at all times!

Tian Yuanli was indeed a bit too careless just now!

Xi Shenlian looked at the gadget in his hand with a very calm expression, and the triggering of these mechanisms was not a surprise to him at all.

He casually sighed:

"It seems that there are still some traps here~"

Then he turned and said lightly:

"But... a piercing mechanism with a speed of about fifty times the speed of sound can only deal with [Awakeners in the initial stage of awakening] at most. I don't know if this thing is just an opening dish. I hope there will be something more interesting~"

For the stronger [Awakeners in the initial stage of awakening], reaching a movement speed several times the speed of sound is not difficult, and it is even natural.

Based on this physical fitness, it is supplemented by martial arts skills and reasonable exercise.

It is not difficult for them to dodge attacks that are several times faster than their own movement speed.

therefore.

There was nothing wrong with what Xi Shenlian said.

even.

In his opinion, the lethality of this mechanism more or less depends on the dark environment and surprise, which is just right for the environmental structure here.

If this thing was attacking openly.

He felt that Tian Yuanli could probably just treat it as a dodgeball game and try to dodge continuously, but it would be difficult to pose much of a threat to him.

Listening to his bland words.

Tian Yuanli, who was secretly regretting that he was careless when exploring the ruins because of Xi Shenlian, could only roll his eyes silently and complain unhappily:

"What do you mean by at most I can only deal with [Awakeners in the initial stage of awakening]?"

"Even the earliest awakeners have never been rampant from ancient times to the present, right?"

"No matter what era it is, the weakest awakener is the upper limit that warriors can hardly reach."

"As for ordinary people, they are separated from them by an unknown distance."

"So this is already a very powerful mechanism!"

"Especially since it has been preserved for so many years, it is even more precious!!"

But for this kind of rhetoric.

Xi Shenlian immediately showed a disappointed expression:

“I see~”

"I thought there might be something really amazing..."

"It seems I have to prepare myself for disappointment in advance~"

Tian Yuanli became depressed immediately after hearing this.

Facing someone who is pretending to be cool in front of you.

Due to her lack of strength, it was even difficult for her to refute anything.

This is the most annoying!!
