241 Two Worlds! (2/2)
Did Su Hao try to hide something?
Su Hao didn’t reply to him. He shook his head gently and instructed the esper in front of the rock wall, “Stop now! Step back!”
“Huh?” The esper was stunned. He stepped back as he recalled the abnormal behavior of Su Hao just now.
Everyone seemed to be nervous.
Su Hao picked a piece of stone and threw it to the rock wall.
“Dong!”
The stone gently hit on the rock wall.
Then…...
“Hong!”
A great explosion! One of the origin whirlpools had exploded. The crowd was shocked, especially the esper who was in front of the rock wall just now. His face was getting really pale. If he wasn’t reminded by Su Hao just now, he might be…...
Without waiting others to react, Su Hao calmly explained, “I felt there was something wrong just now, so I tried to detect it by using my origin ability. Then I discovered the problem. There were still some hidden origin whirlpools in this ancient ruins which I had missed out in the very beginning. I apologize for my mistake.”
Su Hao apologized to the esper who opened the path just now.
“No-no problem!” The esper immediately waved his hands. Su Hao was the one who had saved his life just now. Although Su Hao apologized, he knew that if he had died just now, then he would have died for nothing.
Jin Feng felt guilty.
He felt guilty for his suspicion towards Su Hao just now.
Su Hao was such a great young man who was hardworking, loyal, and responsible. It was ridiculous to place any suspicion on him! There were a few guys who had the same thoughts as Jin Feng who also had their doubts allayed. Had they become too cunning after surviving for so long in the outside world?
Su Hao silently sighed in relief.
He had been too careless.
He was too careless at the moment when he got the new power. The energy fluctuation was noticed by a few espers who were above level three. If it wasn’t because he was witty enough to change their focus to the explosion of the origin whirlpool, he might be in danger this time.
He seemed to be safe in this ancient ruins; however he was actually in a huge risk.
If he made any mistakes, he might be killed by the team.
I must be very careful before getting enough power!, Su Hao silently reminded himself.
Upon recovering his energy after a short break, Su Hao walked to the front of the rock wall again to cast his detecting skill. After that, he told the team, “It is safe now. There was only one origin whirlpool that we destroyed just now.”
Everyone was relaxed. The team continued to move on again.
A moment later, they were in a magnificent temple again. The team was well prepared and killed all the Buddha statues.
After the first incident, the team already understood how things worked.
The bronze statues were built relatively late. They were not all that powerful as the duration of influence of the origin storm wasn’t long. Meanwhile, the Buddha statues that were made up of soil were the real ancient relics. Under the influence of the origin storm, each of them was extraordinarily powerful, as if they were alive.
The Nitai artifacts would probably be with them.
“Hong!”
“Hong!”
Led by Jin Feng and Song Biao, the team destroyed all the statues efficiently by using various explosive origin skills.
Their adventures in the ancient ruins started to go smoother.
Su Hao explored for the team while others were destroying the origin whirlpools and Buddha statues. Within half a month, they had explored a total of eight temples and successfully found fifteen Nitai artifacts. Meanwhile, the head loss of the team was below five during that time period, which was a really great result.
Was half a month a long time? No, it was actually short.
In fact, Song Biao and Jin Feng had decided to take a twelve hour rest after twelve hours of continuous exploration in order to maintain the best condition of the team for dealing with unknown dangers.
If not, their progress would have been even faster!
Normally, a normal relic ruin took ten to fifteen days to explore. After endless battles, a team usually only managed to get one Nitai artifact. However, the competition inside the team would be relatively small as there would be less than ten espers in the team.
However, they were exploring a massive set of ancient ruins this time.
These ancient ruins were much more dangerous than the normal relic ruins. It could be seen from the few extermination tragedies that almost killed everyone in the teams at the very beginning. However, the benefits that the team could get were much more attractive. High risk, high return; the revenue from the ancient ruins might be ten times more than normal.
However, the ancient ruins were deep in the underground this time.
Hence, there was another benefit, which was that no berserk beasts would be attacking the team. Nitai artifacts were not only attractive to espers, but also to berserk beasts. If the ruins were above ground, there would be an infinite number of berserk beasts fighting for the Nitai artifacts.
Within fifteen days, they had obtained fifteen Nitai artifacts!
It was considered as a brilliant achievement after the various deaths and injuries at the very beginning. However everything was smooth thanks to the perfect navigation of Su Hao.
Regarding this, Song Biao really regretted.
If he had known Su Hao was such a good pathfinder, for sure he wouldn’t have hired Yao Haochen. His bad navigation had caused a great loss to the team.
Jin Feng, who opposed Song Biao on just about everything, agreed with him this time.
