Chapter 168: Exploring the Ruins

He knew this cave well because he had come here last year; at that time, he tried to enter the cave but was stopped by the centaur Firenze.

At that time, he learned from the centaur Firenze that this cave only appears for a short while on the last day of each month, and today is the last day of March.

Firenze had also said back then that this cave was extremely dangerous, but Allen Finis was now backed into a corner and could no longer worry about such things.

The narrow cave was the most advantageous terrain for him now; he only needed to guard the entrance, so he didn't have to worry about his back, and he only had to face one Acromantula at a time, while a single Acromantula had no chance against the three Razor Leopards he had transformed.

The Acromantulas would change from a siege to a tactic of sending them up one by one; as long as he held his ground and faced off against the Acromantulas, perhaps the centaurs would notice the abnormality here and rescue him.

This was the best choice for now; continuing to play chase with the Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest, if anything unexpected happened, he would be doomed.

So Allen Finis made up his mind and let the Razor Leopard carry him charging toward that cave.

They successfully rushed into the cave; Allen Finis immediately turned the two large stones at the entrance into two Razor Leopards and then commanded them to guard the entrance.

Things went exactly as Allen Finis had predicted; every Acromantula that entered was killed by a Razor Leopard.

Soon they stopped this foolish behavior of throwing themselves to their deaths, gathered at the cave entrance making a "click-clack" sound, as if provoking him, but they dared not step one foot into the cave.

Allen Finis also breathed a sigh of relief; only after relaxing mentally did he feel a burning pain all over his body, and his body felt waves of exhaustion...

The exposed parts of his body had many cuts from the trees in the Forbidden Forest during his escape, and his clothes were also torn into several large holes by the branches.

At this moment, he felt weak all over, gritted his teeth, and sat heavily on the ground, taking a long time to recover his strength.

He quickly found a bottle of healing potion on his person and drank it.

Now Allen Finis had a savings of several hundred Jin Jin Jialong, so he had specially bought some healing potions as a reserve to guard against unexpected situations, and he never expected to actually use them now.

After drinking the healing potion, he felt much better in his body.

He went to the cave entrance to check again; those Acromantulas were still lingering at the entrance. He simply counted them, and just from what he could see, there must have been forty or fifty of them; it seemed he had really poked a spider's nest this time...

But they dared not enter the cave, only guarding the entrance.

Seeing the cowering appearance of the Acromantulas, Allen Finis relaxed a lot.

He sat on the ground to rest for a while again, completely recovering his strength; now he was trapped in the cave, and what remained was a standoff, to see who would give in first.

The time of the standoff was boring; he suddenly remembered the sights he had seen when he came here last year.

He seemed to have seen some ancient runes inside this cave, and one of those ancient runes meant "Light".

His curiosity was inevitably stirred up again; he suddenly wanted to go in and see those ancient runes he had seen last time.

Last time he only recognized "Light" among a pile of ancient runes, but now he had mastered many ancient runes, and he wanted to see what those ancient runes meant.

After this good idea appeared, Allen Finis could no longer hold himself back.

Although Firenze said it was dangerous inside, the position where he had stood last time seemed to have no danger occurring, so in the end he decided to go explore to find out.

"Just stand in the position where I stood last time; absolutely do not wander around other places," he comforted himself in his mind.

He let one Razor Leopard guard the cave entrance; if an Acromantula came in, it would give him a warning.

Then Allen Finis walked to the position where he had stood last year; he summoned several light orbs, and only then could he clearly see the appearance inside the cave.

The depths of the cave were very spacious, resembling a circular hall; at the end of the circular hall was a large door, and on both sides of the large door were embedded metal plates with no traces of rust.

On those metal plates, neat ancient runes were engraved using a technique similar to laser etching.

Allen Finis discovered that he recognized all these ancient runes.

Written on the left metal plate was "Pay attention to safety, beware of accidents".

Written on the right metal plate was "When personnel leave, turn off the light and lock the door".

"Turn off the light?" Allen Finis murmured.

Why does this meaning sound so strange?

In the next moment, he understood the meaning expressed by these ancient runes...

Turning off the light, isn't that just turning off the lights?

Indeed, translating this matter still requires a certain amount of imagination; one must learn to connect the context.

What was written on the right metal plate should have been "When personnel leave, turn off the lights and lock the door".

However, the ancient runes on this metal plate stirred Allen Finis's curiosity even more.

Firenze had once said that this place was likely a primitive ancient rune ruin.

Allen Finis had been curious about this ruin for a long time.

Especially after he saw in the History of Magic that wizard magic actually originated from these primitive ancient rune ruins.

He originally thought primitive ancient rune ruins all had a fantasy style, but why does this ruin today have the style of a technology-oriented research institute!

The concise metal nameplate, the design of the large door was also very simple with no extra patterns, and the metal material of both the nameplate and the large door was very peculiar; time had left no traces on them...

Allen Finis's curiosity grew even stronger; the slogan on this metal nameplate made him feel that this ruin was not that dangerous.

He suddenly felt an impulse to push open the large door at the end of the hall and go in to see what was inside...

After much deliberation, he decided to transform a Shocking Ox to go scout the path; the reason he did not transform a Razor Leopard to scout the path was that the Shocking Ox had a higher body weight and could better detect hidden traps.

To Allen Finis's great surprise, the Shocking Ox arrived at the end of the hall very smoothly, stood before that large door, and no unexpected incident occurred.

This made Allen Finis's confidence grow even stronger; he commanded the Shocking Ox to push the large door inward with force using its two horns, and as a result, the large door was pushed open very easily...

But what lay further inside the door, Allen Finis could not see, and the Shocking Ox could not share its vision with him; after the Shocking Ox entered the door, he could no longer continue to command the Shocking Ox.

And Allen Finis was very curious about the things behind the door, but he was also not quite daring to go in.

Then he remembered Yodeler, and immediately had an idea.

He took out the notebook and said softly, "Can you let your separated consciousness control a Razor Leopard to go behind that door and take a look?"

"Why go? I am not interested in that." A passage immediately appeared on the diary.

"If you can help me explore behind the large door, I will DIY a transformed beast suitable for you in advance," Allen Finis tempted.

This was the only thing he could currently use to tempt Yodeler.

Yodeler fell silent, and then Allen Finis saw the Razor Leopard controlled by Yodeler slowly walk toward the large door, and quickly disappeared behind the large door...
