It was also these runes that ensured the wall’s stability and sturdiness.

“Meow!”

Ziyue’s eyes lit up. These runes contained a strong moonlight energy.

He wanted to eat …

“Control yourself. It’ll be awkward if the ruins collapse after you finish absorbing it.”

“Meow …”

“This should be a relic from the late ancient era.”

Ji Xuan said.

Other than his status as a master Beastmaster, he was also a senior investigator, having been to many ancient ruins.

From the architectural style and these strange runes, one could roughly estimate the time of the ruins.

“The ancient era …”

Jiang He was no longer the noob she was when she first transmigrated. She had a lot of understanding of the historical background of this world.

Although humans in the real world had only discovered the New World more than 400 years ago, the civilization in the New World had a longer history.

First of all, the timeline in almost all the new worlds was the same. According to time, they could be divided into the mythological era, the modern era, and the modern era.

The mythological era was about 10000 years ago. At that time, every new world was full of spiritual power and resources.

Countless powerful mythical beings were born, and they were the protagonists of that era.

According to archaeological discoveries, these mythical creatures were at least at the immortal level.

At that time, humans mostly existed in tribes.

Although he had mastered the method of contracting familiars, the strength of the contracted familiars was not strong. They needed to seek the protection of mythical creatures to exist.

It was just like the tribe that worshipped the snow Wolf King, cangxue.

However, for some unknown reason, these powerful mythical creatures disappeared one after another. At the same time, the spiritual energy in the New World began to decrease sharply.

From the historical fragments he had obtained in the snow region, it was very likely that it was due to the abyss ‘invasion.

Then, the period between 10000 to 2000 years ago was known as the modern age.

During this period, many powerful Beastmasters were born in the new worlds. A large portion of the ruins discovered in the new worlds were left behind by these ancient Beastmasters.

Later on, there might have been a disaster that affected all the new worlds, leading to the extinction of most of the beast civilization in the new worlds.

Even now, there were still humans or Beastmasters in these new worlds, but there was a huge gap between them and the once glorious beast-taming civilization.

The archeologists could only find some traces of the past from the ruins.

For example, the ruins that had been discovered now had a lot of research value.

After everyone entered the ruins, although the first thing they saw was the hall, they were actually standing on a long tunnel.

At the end of the tunnel was the main hall.

Everyone stepped onto the path, only to discover that on both sides of the path were pitch-black Lakes.

“This is … The water of the River Styx!”

Ji Xuan suddenly shouted out in excitement.

Jiang He was taken aback. -What the hell is this? how could it make a master Beastmaster lose his composure like this? –

“The water of the netherworld River. It contains rich life and death energy. It’s an epic-grade resource, a precious material needed for the evolution of some rare familiars. I didn’t expect to find so much here.”

Seeing Jiang He’s confusion, Bai Ge considerately explained.

The water of the netherworld River had also appeared in the ruins of other new worlds, but the amount was naturally far less than the amount of water in this River.

“This … How much money is there?”

Indeed, exploring new worlds was the easiest way to get rich.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with fanaticism. However, since Ji Xuan did not say anything, no one took any action.

“Our previous promise is still valid. Take as much as you can, and don’t waste it.”

Ji Xuan said.

The netherworld River in front of them was huge and could not be filled up at all.

Part of the remaining water would be handed over to the investigation Bureau, and the other part would be used to build nightdream city.

He could even build a third main city in Moon Bay.

“Let me test him first.”

In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Ji Xuan had the night Dream goddess butterfly fly above the netherworld River and place her hand on it.

The ring on his hand was also an interspatial equipment, which could hold 10 cubic meters of things. It was a trophy from the ruins exploration.

“There shouldn’t be any danger. Let’s start eating!”

Said Ji Xuan with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, both the original guards and the recruited Beastmasters took out all the containers they could find that could hold water.

They began to collect water crazily!

The price of the water of the Styx River was much more expensive than gold!

He didn’t expect to have such a harvest as soon as he entered the remains!

“Senior Ji Xuan, are you really going to take as many as you have?”

Jiang He had a bold idea.

“Yes.”

Ji Xuan glanced at Jiang He’s backpack and nodded calmly.

It didn’t matter even if his backpack was full. It was just a drop in the bucket.

After all, there was too much water from the River Styx here.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

After saying that, Jiang He took out the pot of desire and put it into the netherworld River. He began to pour the water of the netherworld River into the pot.

“So you brought a pot!”

Ji Xuan could not help but laugh when he saw Jiang He take out a pot from his backpack.

However, after two minutes, he saw that Jiang He’s pot was still in the netherworld River. Ji Xuan felt that something was wrong.

“Space-teleportation equipment?”

The corner of Ji Xuan’s mouth twitched slightly.

He didn’t expect Jiang He, an official Beastmaster, to have spatial equipment!

Spatial equipment was extremely rare. Even master-tier Beastmasters might not have one.

His interspatial ring had been obtained from some ruins.

Moreover, it seemed that the space in Jiang He’s invisible storage equipment was not small. His ring would be full in two minutes!

Five minutes later, Jiang hecai reluctantly took back the pot of desire.

The space inside was basically filled with the water of the netherworld River, and the level of the river seemed to have dropped a little.

“What is this?”

At this time, a flat-headed guard suddenly shouted. He was commanding his familiar to collect the water of the netherworld River when he found a black fragment that looked like an eggshell in the river.

“I also have some here.”

……

……

The others also discovered the black pieces that looked like eggshells. There were still some shadow energy left on the edges of the eggshells.

However, these eggshells were quickly softening and disappearing in the netherworld River.

Seeing this scene, many people unconsciously associated it with the beast tide from before. Could the familiars in the beast tide have hatched from the netherworld River?

The answer was self-evident.

The water of the River Styx contained the energy of life and death at the same time, making it the most suitable environment for hibernation.

“Why do I feel like this isn’t a historical site, but a mausoleum?”

Jiang He could not help but think.

It was very likely that the monster horde from before was the tomb keeper.

After the group was done filling up the river Styx’s water, they continued to move forward. Soon, they passed through a nearly 1000-meter-long tunnel and arrived at the central square of the ruins.

Under the moonlight, the entire square was as bright as day.

At this moment, the Beastmasters discovered a huge sculpture in the center of the square, and behind the sculpture were six paths.

The statue was a four-legged beast about six meters tall. It had the body of a leopard, horns on its head, and wings on its back. It looked extraordinary.

Jiang He was slightly taken aback. The sculpture was exactly the same as the Black Panther he had seen with his synesthesia.

Even the body size was restored to an equal proportion.

“This is a Night Beast, an ancient familiar that has been recorded in the civilizations of other new worlds, but has been completely extinct.”

The White Pigeon recognized the familiar in front of it.

The appearance of the night Beast statues further proved that the ruins were left behind by Beastmasters from the late era.

“It’s a pity that there’s no spirit. ”

Jiang He didn’t expect that such a big statue didn’t have a spirit.

“F * ck! Come and try touching this statue! This was the trigger for the ruins trial. As long as you touch this statue, you can start the trial! The six entrances represent six different levels of difficulty!”

Jiang He was still studying the night Beast statues when a Beastmaster beside him suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing this, many people put their hands on the statues.

Jiang He also put his left hand on the sculpture.

Then, a voice sounded in his mind.

[Welcome to the trial of the dark shadow Emperor]

“Choose a path that suits your strength and complete the trial. You will receive a reward and a ticket to leave the planet.”

[Now, the trial begins!]

“Is it really … Just a trial?”
