254 Mythical Ruins
When they returned to their respective territories, it was already dark.
“My Lord, Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Also, the search teams that went out today are back.”
...Su Wan sat on the chair proudly. She pretended to be unfazed as she whipped out the blueprint and waved it in front of Xu Yuan. “This thing has a price and a value, but it is not in the market. This is rare and I got it! We can summon heroes with it!”
“Can we summon something as powerful as the Hydra or the other heroes we have?” asked Xu Yuan,
Su Wan was at a loss. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint both were from the ancient dragon bloodline. The Hydra was also very powerful. In Xu Yuan’s eyes, the Hero Altar was any other unit that could be built in the territory without much significance.
Most Lords’ initial heroes could not compare to the strength and power of the heroes Su Wan had in her territory.
Su Wan realized she didn’t really have anything of use to show off after all.
At this time, the Dark Enchanter returned. As the leader of the Dark Alliance, she was always busy with the job that needed to be done to recruit more Dark-Types. She was rarely there with them these days.
Su Wan’s jealousy and hostility toward her ad decreased. The Flower Fairy and the little butterfly weren’t as glamorous and accomplished as the Dark Enchanter, so she had nothing to worry about.
“Your Majesty, it is very nice to see you again!” The Dark Enchanter smiled amiably at Xu Yuan. “You too, My Lord!”
“Hmph! If you have something to report, just do it already,” said Su Wan.
“The scouting team has discovered another mythical ruin! It’s related to the Dark-Types, so there must be things of value inside.”
The ruins also had levels, according to their value and danger inside them. There were the ordinary ruins, the high-level ruins, followed by mythical ruins and ancients.
The mythical and ancient ruins were too powerful and contained things of great value.
Even a Level 1 mythical ruin had powerful creatures guarding the place.
“Well done!” said Xu Yuan. “Ask the Fallen Angel if he knows about any grudges between the Light-Types that might be of use to us.”
The Flower Fairy’s eyes widened. So, the Fallen Angel was the legendary angel!
The Dark Enchanter had dinner with them before she left to continue with the affairs of the Dark Alliance.
Su Wan began to prepare for the construction of the Hero Altar. The construction would be completed after they came back from exploring the mythical ruin. She would try to summon a hero at that time.
Su Wan felt that she couldn’t always depend on the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, the White Dragon Saint, and the Hydra to help her. They were part of the Dark Alliance. So, they would have to focus on their own jobs in the future.
If Xu Yuan wasn’t so lazy, she wouldn’t have to worry. However, Su Wan was afraid she would have to fight everything alone while exploring the ruins.
“Do you think we can really summon a hero with this?” asked Su Wan.
“I’m not sure,” said Xu Yuan.
“Why don’t we try summoning a hero after we are back from exploring the ruins?”
“I’m not interested.”
Although he refused, Su Wan decided that she would let him do the honors. Perhaps he could summon a hero as strong as himself!
…
That night, Su Wan called for a meeting and made plans to explore the mythical ruin. The mythical ruin was bound to be more dangerous than anything they had ever dealt with before. Su Wan urged Xu Yuan to come with them.
The Hydra, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, and the White Dragon Saint stayed back in the territory to guard the Territory Core.
Scarlen led the Night Elves.
Su Wan invited her friends, Shi Linglong, Zhao Qingrong, and Lin Yao on this mission too.
Lin Yao wore a new set of leather armor that accentuated her figure. Su Wan hadn’t noticed that Lin Yao was so voluptuous. The intimidating aura and her delicate face made an interesting contrast.
Zhao Qingrong held a cross-shaped longsword in her hand. Her beautiful eyes looked sharp. She looked completely different from the immature Shi Linglong. Her fierce expression might have caused panic among those who didn’t know her.
Su Wan looked at her friend all dressed and ready. She couldn’t help but feel suspicious. ‘All of them weren’t so dressed up yesterday. Did they all dress up because Xu Yuan is following us today?’
They agreed that everybody would listen to Su Wan’s orders once they entered the ruins. The mythical ruin was dangerous, so it was good to elect one leader to follow in times of panic.
They all set off. Su Wan jumped on Xu Yuan’s back. The others looked at her with envy. They all had their own mounts but not as cool as Su Wan’s.
Only Su Wan knew how painful it was to ride on a dragon’s back. The hard scales hurt her behind. She would have to carry a cushion next time.
The troops moved silently forward.
The Dark Enchanter’s map was accurate, so they weren’t afraid of getting lost on the way. After following the directions for about three hours, they came upon a location where the wind got stronger.
The wind blew the sand in their faces and made it harder to see. Wind and sand raged to prevent them from moving forward. It was no wonder there were no other people here. Nobody in their right mind would try to venture here.
Scarlen sent a few Night Elves to scout the area. The further they advanced, the stronger the sandstorm became. They couldn’t even open their eyes.
Only Su Wan remained unaffected. With Xu Yuan’s protection, the sandstorm didn’t touch her.
With Xu Yuan around, no other creatures dared to approach them to make trouble. Everyone braved the sandstorm and continued to move forward.
Su Wan looked at the map in her hand. “Xu Yuan, we’ve arrived!”
Xu Yuan flapped his wings and descended to the ground.
“The ruins are in the mountain range ahead!” Su Wan pointed in a direction.
In the howling wind, the troops advanced toward the foot of the mountain range.
The mountain range was at least a hundred meters high and extended for hundreds of meters in width. It was spectacular.
There was a visible dent in the front due to the strong wind. Everyone stood in the deep pit. The sandstorm was less strong here.
Xu Yuan looked at the mountain range. ‘Is the ruin buried under that?’
He activated the True Eye of the Demon Dragon. They had reached the right place.
“Linglong, Qingrong, Yaoyao, you all can send your troops to examine the area as well,” said Xu Yuan. He wanted to make sure that the area was safe before they advanced any further.
Su Wan pouted unhappily. She was supposed to be the one giving the orders!
