"Stop."

Yi stopped. After he spoke, Longma and Ezreal also stopped. The current owner of Longma is Yi, so it will naturally obey Yi's words.

As for Ezreal, he knows very well who is the strongest in this team and knows who to listen to.

"What happened?"

Ezreal now has a layer of ice crystal-colored coating on his body, which looks like a protective film. This is the Zha attached to him.

"There are enemies ahead."

Yi spoke concisely and to the point, and drew out his wooden sword. With the sword in hand, he had nothing to fear.

"Enemy? Is there anything in front of you? I can't see anything except Frostguard Fortress."

Ezreal shrugged, Frost Guard Fortress, it was a "high mountain", a fortress higher than the mountain in the real sense. At this time, the sun had passed by the Frost Guard Fortress. Under the sunlight, the Frost Guard Fortress

The huge body appeared in front of everyone.

"Frost Guard Fortress is indeed beyond my imagination, but the enemy is not in the fortress, but not far ahead. It is the guy I talked about last night."

Yi has been feeling the malice and hostility since yesterday. Although he doesn't understand why the guy who released the hostility has not moved, he will not deliberately avoid that guy.

"Can you beat him?"

It's not that Ezreal doubts Yi's strength...it's actually that Yi is only at the level of a mortal grandmaster, so it's hard for Ezreal not to doubt it.

Normal extraordinary people would not put their wealth and life on a mortal, right? Even if the strength of this mortal is extraordinary.

"Maybe."

Yi didn't say much, and walked slowly forward. After a while, he stopped.

"Where are the enemies?"

Ezreal jumped up and down and looked around, but he didn't find any creatures other than themselves on the snow.

"...at your feet."

Yi pointed to the snow at his feet,

"There's something down here."

"You mean, a thing buried under the snow is paying attention to our actions? Does he have clairvoyance?"

Ezreal put on a very interesting look, covering his chin, frowning in deep thought,

"This is a good idea. You can discuss it in detail with the imperial military in the future. I believe they will adopt your suggestions, little by little, such as developing clairvoyance eyes."

"You... don't believe it? Based on your experience, shouldn't you trust my judgment?"

Yi was very confused. He knew that Ezreal was not very strong or talented, and he used a pretty face that could be transformed to kidnap an ignorant girl, but at least he should be very experienced professionally.

"My experience? What experience? Are you saying there is really something down here?"

Ezreal suddenly thought that he was an explorer, and that his valuable experience in being mentioned in front of Yi was archaeological experience.

"Ancient ruins? Damn it!"

"Shouldn't an explorer be happy when he discovers a ruins? Why are you so depressed?"

If Ezreal is regarded as a swordsman, then adventure is Ize's way. If there is a breakthrough in the way of swordsmanship, the swordsman will naturally be funny, so Yi doesn't understand Ize's frustration.

"Because I don't have time to go!"

Ezreal fell to his knees on the ground. Maybe Yi was just deceiving him, but letting such an upright guy like Yi deceive people is much lower than the possibility that there are no ancient ruins here.

"Our first task is to go to the Frostguard Fortress, enter the Howling Abyss, and deal with the demigods imprisoned there. Then, we have to return to Hearth and face Brand with Balliard. How can we explore this

The time of ruins.”

"But he is the enemy, the enemy, right under our feet, and we should get rid of him."

Yi felt the hostility all the time. This was their enemy, and its purpose was to eliminate those who were going to Frostguard Fortress. In other words,

"Besides, even if we don't deal with him, he will take action against us. He wants to clean up the people heading to Frostguard Fortress. It's better to take the initiative than sit back and wait for death."

"...But, how do we enter that ruins?"

Ezreal was persuaded. Since it was destined to be a stumbling block for them, then face it... In fact, he was reluctant to part with such an ancient ruin.

If I don't explore this ruins now, I don't know when I will come here next time when I go to Valliard.

Because we still don’t know what Balliard’s plans are after stopping Brand, and what he plans to do if he fails to stop Brand.

This ruin, no matter how long it lasts, will exist here. At most, there is a possibility that the treasures in it will be stolen. However, there are not many explorers in Freljord, and it is close to the Frostguard Fortress. Most empires

Explorers probably don’t even know about the existence of Frostguard Fortress.

"It's easy."

Yi knew that Ezreal had agreed to his suggestion and was now going to deal with the enemies underground. He waved his sword a few times and nodded to Ezreal,

"It's all on you."

"Is this okay?"

Ezreal suddenly understood what role a swordsman, a powerful swordsman, could play in an archaeological team.

As long as the location of the ruins is accurately found, no matter whether the ruins are in the mountains or underground, the swordsman can cut a passage in three strokes, and then let the extraordinary person with good strength carry the stones, and a direct road to the ruins will appear. No need to

Spend a lot of time exploring the entrance to the ruins.

Ten minutes later, Ezreal and Yi had already reached the bottom of the spiral staircase.

"Can you see anything? Great explorer."

Most of the knowledge in Yi's mind comes from his own observations and the books in the gym, but whether it is his observations or the knowledge obtained from books, there is almost no knowledge about exploration and archeology.

This ruins is now a new environment. It is surrounded by purple crystals, and there seems to be a human figure buried in each crystal.

"Well... let me take a look first."

This is the first time Ezreal has seen such a scene. There is no record of such a scene in the family's records. Underground crystal mines?

Ezreal took out a dagger and stabbed it hard on a crystal, but... there was no reaction. Even if the dagger was not sharp, with the strength of a transcendent, it should be able to leave a mark on the crystal.

Some scratches.

But in fact, it has no effect at all.

"Um - Yi, help me cut a small piece of crystal."

Ezreal had a strange feeling, that is, the figures in these crystals were staring at him.

"Um."

Yi raised his hand, and a sword light shot out, and then, a small piece of crystal fell into Ezreal's hand.

"These... are just ordinary ice crystals, but why can't I destroy them?"

Ezreal easily crushed the ice crystal in his hand, which was completely different from how hard it was just now.

"A whole is always stronger than its parts. Maybe there is some other power in it."

Yi has never encountered such a thing, but it is common sense, just like a swordsman's sword, it is always sharper than a dagger.

"Special power? Zha, do you understand this power?"

"Impressed."

"oh?"

Ezreal just asked casually, but he didn't expect to get an answer. But what did this answer mean?

Did Zha come out of this ruin? But who does this ruin currently belong to? Shouldn't it belong to the Void side? If Zha came out of this place, could it be the hand of Void?

"Since you know, then tell me."

"Boundaries, seals, and formations are all possible. In other words, this should be a seal, and the object of the seal is the person in the crystal. We may have entered an incredible place."

Zha has been silent since he stepped here. He is very familiar with the power of this place, but he does not have any information about this place in his memory. He only knows what the power of this place is.

"Seal? Will the demigod you are talking about also be sealed here?"

Yi Huan really wanted to know how a demigod was sealed by the enemy. It wasn't that he looked down on that demigod, he just thought that demigod was very stupid. In this world, which demigod didn't have any tricks to save his life?

was sealed.

"No! Absolutely not! This kind of crystal can seal ordinary extraordinary beings, but it can never seal a demigod. Besides, the void does not require prisoners.

They captured that demigod just to corrode him, and there are too many people in this place. If Void really captured so many demigods, they would have been discovered by Heaven long ago."

Ezreal is now very unsure of his own strength. After all, he has suffered several blows from Yi, and he cannot afford to have any confidence in his strength.

However, he would never believe that a crystal that could be easily cut off by Yi could be used to seal a demigod. What the hell? Can a sixth-level person have an attack power that surpasses the eleventh level?

"Do you want to release it and ask? This seal seems to be very strong. The sealed thing should not be weak. It can be used for me to practice my skills."

Yi wanted to sharpen his sword and increase his knowledge and experience. On the other hand, he had to fight against all kinds of enemies. Although since he left the Wuji Gym, most of the enemies he encountered were unable to take his sword.

, but in the process of fighting, Yi still felt that he benefited a lot.

Don't ask what Yi was able to comprehend in a battle that ended in less than a second. Mortals don't understand the world of geniuses.
