Edge of the Apocalypse

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters on Edge of Doom!The empire is luxuriant, and although Alan and Edward have heard of many big people, it is impossible to know them all after all.The two of them couldn’t think of who the big boss behind the Golden Falcon would be. It’s just that Mark came this time and only acquired their equipment and horses, without further expression. On the contrary, they felt that the backing behind him was a bit profound. The feeling of testing.

Clouds are light and wind is clear this day.

The old castle under the lonely mountain in the north, not seen for a few days, has been very different from the gloomy and silent appearance before.The black iron pierced flower gate that was once covered with vines has been repainted, and now it is full of solemnity.On the square that I entered through the gate, the ground that was dilapidated by weeds had been completely repaired, and the square floor tiles made the road smooth and comfortable.As for the dilapidated stone sculptures, they were completely replaced. The square fountain that was originally covered with leaves was refilled with clear water. The carp stone sculpture in the center of the pool was constantly splashing around with water.

Inside the previously dimly lit castle, the servants polished up the long and narrow windows, and the dark red carpet that was bitten by rats was replaced with a blazing style.The old candlesticks stained with spider silk were replaced with gold-lacquered wall lamps, and even the one hundred-year-old ancient lampstand in the lobby of the castle has become completely new.

Today, the castle can be called brightly lit, and there are servants walking around, so popular, it is no longer a ghostly scene.

Not to mention the old castle, even the world outside the castle is full of vitality.

Some prototypes of wooden houses have appeared on the land outside the fort. Artisans are plowing the soil and building roads, while gardeners are preparing to plant newly purchased saplings along the road.A majestic stone sculpture of a knight stands in the distance, where a small square is going to be built.And further afield, the long-abandoned fields are being reorganized, and the farmers who have just arrived are busy taking advantage of the warm spring flowers to sow the seeds of the first crops.

It can be imagined that in a short time, there will be an extra small town outside the castle.The old butler was standing on one of the terraces of the castle, with the fragrance of flowers and plants just placed on the terrace between his nose.He looked at the busy world outside the fort with excitement.

Footsteps sounded behind him.

A somewhat gentle voice sounded in majesty: "Charlie, you should rest in the room. Your body will have to be treated for a few more days."

The old housekeeper turned around and looked at the majestic man walking towards him.As if going back in time, he saw what the man before him looked like when he was a child. At that time, he had soft black hair, and two clear eyes seemed to reflect the whole world.The old butler laughed: "Master, if only the master and madam could see us like this now."

"They will see." The man raised his head and looked to the sky, muttering: "They will always see."

Then waved, two maids stepped forward and helped the old butler down.After the old man left, the middle-aged housekeeper walked and handed the man a letter.The man opened it, twisted his eyebrows slightly after reading the letter, and then sighed: "The Bolin family really has some luck. There are Queen Scorpion and Scorpion Nest dragging the two angry Ten Saints, so that Nizi can't be killed. It's a pity. Ah, such a great opportunity."

The middle-aged butler asked next to him: "Whether to make further arrangements to return from Sardinia to the Bolin family's Tsauhualing, there is still a long way to go.

"No, the Bolin family had been alarmed as soon as Bekatellu came out. The journey is far away, but Starm and Saran are not fuel-efficient lamps either. I think now the Bolin family has sent someone to pick it up on the way. I'll go there by myself, otherwise it won't help." The man rubbed his hands together, and the paper burned into ash and flew under the terrace.The man stared into the distance: "But I can't go. If I go, there will be full-scale war. Now...it's not the time yet."

South, wild highlands.

The spring in the south always comes earlier, especially in the wild highlands close to Violet Harbor. Not only does the temperature rise quickly, the warm ocean currents also blow into this highland area early, causing the humidity in the jungle to rise, forming a special sultry heat. climate.When everything wakes up in spring, everything is not always welcome. The long-legged mosquitoes in the wild highlands are definitely a disgusting creature.

After a long cold winter, the weather has warmed up, and the mosquitoes have multiplied quickly and frequently thanks to the humid climate of the highlands.It's fine during the day. When it's evening, it will appear in groups in the jungle, making the creatures on the high ground miserable.Except for a few creatures and some tyrannical individuals whose breath makes the mosquitoes dare not approach, in the wild highlands, there are almost no creatures that they dare not provoke.

There have been some new creatures in the highland jungle recently.

Humanity.

This is the creature that mosquitoes like. Their blood is sweet and delicious, much sweeter than other creatures.But humans know how to use tools, such as those thick jungle tents that are impenetrable to light, which are hard for mosquitoes to conquer.Even if one or two lucky mosquitoes get into the tent, they will be killed by a gas that emits a strange fragrance, and that gas is harmless to humans.

Fortunately, humans do not stay in tents all day long. During the day, they will work by the bottom of a large lake.Although mosquitoes don't like to appear in the sun, there are too many places for them to hide in the bottom of the lake, and they tend to hide in groups in a dark place.Just waiting for humans to appear, it will be like a black cloud.Humans suffered a big loss in the past few times, and soon they learned to be smart.

When working, they put on one-piece clothes similar to tent materials, making it impossible for mosquitoes to start.They even sprayed mosquito-killing potions on the work area to kill the mosquitoes in pieces.Ten days later, mosquitoes are rarely seen near the Great Lake.

On this day, when Kuru woke up, he heard his assistant shouting outside: "My lord. Kuru, the entrance to the ruins has been cleaned up." Hearing this news, Kuru's body pain disappeared.He quickly put on the black gold-rimmed robe representing the Ancient Ruins Investigation Committee, pinned a gray coat of arms engraved with a book and a shovel to his chest, and finally grabbed a wooden pole cut from a highland tree trunk. He got out in a hurry.

Assistant Yumi is a young and clever fellow who has been apprentice to Kuru for seven or eight years.His soft linen hair refracted a halo in the faint golden sunlight in the morning, just like the unstoppable glow of excitement in Yomi's eyes.He supported Kuru, who was nearly sixty years old, and said: "The silt on the bottom of the lake is almost cleared today, and we found a few things like drains. It turns out that it does lead to the interior of the ruins. It takes another half a day. It should be possible to organize an advance team to conduct a preliminary investigation inside the ruins."

"This is really good news, my dear Yomi." Kuru also slapped the young man on the shoulder excitedly: "Do you know? This is the second ancient building found in our country besides the blood king graveyard. Ruins. But with the precedent of the Blood King Cemetery, we have to be more cautious. However, based on the environment and mountain material of the highlands, I am sure that this ruin is not as large as the Blood King Cemetery. But let it go, this second one. We must firmly hold the ancient ruins in our hands, and we must not let Pierre's bastard have a chance to get in."

There is not necessarily a harmony in the investigation committee. Many scholars and researchers form their own factions, and the competition in secret is fierce.A team like Kuru was originally a relatively low-profile member of the committee.This time I was able to win the investigation work in the wild highlands. Thanks to its position on the edge of the country, other investigation teams have the big cake of the blood king cemetery, and they are not willing to go to the wild highlands.Furthermore, the investigative committee generally retains a skeptical attitude as to whether there is another ancient ruin in the wild highlands.

I didn't want to get Kuru this time, I really won the big prize, and I found the second ancient ruins in the wild highlands.As a result, the work in charge of the excavation and investigation of the ruins fell to him. Not only did the empire provide sufficient funds for this, it also directly transferred a buck army, and the bloodmane general Keller was in charge.It's just that the entrance to the ruins was opened in the bottom of the lake for some reason, and a lot of silt was accumulated.

After a long cold winter, the silt was frozen like iron, and it was very troublesome to excavate.If it weren't for the warmer weather now, and the silt is gradually softening, I don't know when it will be cleaned up.

Kuru excitedly and his young assistant came to the shore of the Great Lake. Several working platforms were erected on the shore and simple lifting equipment was erected.The silt cleared from the bottom of the lake on the west bank of the Great Lake has piled up into a hill. Even so, most of the workers in the lake are still stuck in the silt.Kuru stood on one of the wooden platform. From a distance, he could see that there were several large holes in the mountain wall on the other side, which looked like the exit of some kind of drainage channel.There are now a lot of rubble, which is more troublesome than cleaning up silt.

In order to complete the work as soon as possible, even the captain of the Hundreds team personally went to battle, using the source of energy to blast down the accumulated stones, so as to clear the entrances of these relics.

At this time, people on the shore of the lake were all focused on those entrances, so when some bubbles were unnaturally emerging from the mud at the bottom of the lake, no one immediately noticed them.After a while, a worker in mosquito protective clothing suddenly screamed, "Something bit me, something bit me."

Kuru was startled, and then screams rang out one after another.Yumi next to him had sharp eyes and saw two snakes burrowing out of a piece of mud near the platform.The triangular head was so high that it bit down on the legs of a nearby worker.

There was another scream.

Finally, people discovered that in the mud layer of this lake bottom, snakes appeared from nowhere.There are so many snakes that the entire lake bottom seems to be "boiling," as if stepping into a snake's den.It's just that this snake den is too big!
