Capítulo 2467: Chapter 1364: Astonishment and Mutation
Without any forewarning, a wave of unfamiliar energy suddenly swept through, causing everyone to stiffen with vigilance.
Even though this energy wave was extremely subtle and impossible for ordinary experts to detect, it was remarkably evident to our team with keen perception.
“What is this? Could it be that some summoning formation or magic trap has been activated?”
A solemn expression immediately appeared on Fanny’s pale face as she blurted out.
“No, this doesn’t conform to the casting methods of the Dark Elves. Using the techniques of the Ancient Dark Elves, they would never allow anyone to easily sense the activation of a formation.”
Ruth waved her hand, carefully perceiving her surroundings, and said with furrowed brows: “Moreover, within this energy wave, I seem to feel a breath of vitality.”
“The young lady is right, although the other party seems to be hiding itself with great effort, there is indeed a breath of vitality.”
Mallen gently stroked his neatly trimmed white short beard, the golden longbow in his hand glistening, as he echoed.
“A breath of vitality?”
Broy, controlling two somewhat battered and not yet fully repaired Tier 6 Alchemical Golems on alert on both sides, pondered: “What does this mean?”
“It means that what is emitting the energy wave is not a summoned golem puppet or other magical construct, but some real life form.”
With a grave expression, Ruth explained: “Unfortunately, that strange energy wave just flashed by, and we can’t pinpoint its exact location.”
“But this is an ancient relic dating back to before the Era of Blankness, which has been sealed for over three thousand years. How can there possibly be a real life form?”
Broy couldn’t help but shiver slightly, moving closer to Leo Ray.
“Perhaps it’s some demon beast that accidentally wandered in.”
Crisis pondered for a moment, saying thoughtfully: “After all, this place is not covered by an Absolute Defense Barrier or magic restriction. If there are certain demon beasts that can delve deep underground, it’s easy for them to enter here and might even make it a nest.”
“That’s the most reasonable explanation. In the documents and records of exploring various ancient relics, there are indeed instances of demon beasts intruding or even nesting.”
Ruth nodded slightly before furrowing her brows again: “But this energy wave is too special, we must remain cautious.”
“Indeed, knowing that there are other unknown presences here besides us, we cannot afford to be careless.”
Leo Ray lightly rubbed his chin, appearing contemplative.
For him, when it came to this unknown life form, the first thing that came to mind was the “Corrosion” he had recently encountered.
However, “Corrosion” hardly emitted any energy waves, only during attacks did it emanate with obvious violence and chaos, distinct from this unknown energy wave.
But observing from the situation of the White Knight, it was clear that “Corrosion” was not limited to just one type, so the possibility couldn’t be completely ruled out.
As for the speculation about demon beasts nesting, it is also reasonable, but the unknown energy wave is clearly deliberately hiding itself, highly alert; if it truly is a demon beast, it must be a formidable one to deal with.
“Besides that, whether there are any other possibilities, we haven’t reached any conclusions yet, but I feel that things are not that simple.”
With these thoughts, Leo Ray calmed his mind and nodded towards everyone: “Our immediate priority is to quickly find the ore vein and ensure a safe passage for our extraction, and let’s proceed.”
“Your Majesty of the Humans is absolutely right, no matter how large this mine is, it must have an end. As we advance, that unknown presence is likely to reveal its footsteps soon.”
Ruth took a deep breath slowly, then led a group of strong Light Half-Elves and Dragonborn to the forefront of the team once more.
Meanwhile, Leo Ray and his group followed closely, assisting Ruth and others in reconnaissance and providing security.
The cautious footsteps echoed gently through the vast mine, and the further they ventured into the ancient mine, the more they could feel that it was far more extensive than they had imagined.
In each mine level, there were miners’ rest areas, tool storage areas, smelting areas, warehouse areas, and interconnected passage corridors, all like a complex ant nest, distributed in every corner of the mine.
Fortunately, Ruth was right; there were almost no magic traps or summoning formations within the widest part of the mining area. However, numerous magic traps and summoning formations were distributed in the surrounding areas, especially in areas leading out of the mine, clearly intended to prevent other forces from meddling here.
But due to many magic arrays being neglected for years, combined with the exceptional skills of the Light Half-Elves, the dismantling process was always very smooth.
In addition to this, several Earth Element Grand Mages, including Crisis, and Wood Fairies and Flower Fairies, collectively used special recording Magic Crystal Balls to construct a detailed topographical map of the mine, which resembled a magic sandbox, and they continued to refine it.
Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Leo Ray focused entirely on the view of this ancient mine.
As seen from the beginning, scattered tools and crooked mine carts were everywhere, with some mine carts still full of ores that had just been mined at that time.
