Chapter 263 Archaeological Team
Chapter 263 Archaeological Team
Ant holes are interconnected, like a maze, and most people will get lost quickly if they enter.
But Rorschach and the others are not afraid. With Carmen around, they just need to walk in a straight line.
After walking for about ten minutes and killing a large number of ants as big as human heads, everyone successfully arrived at the place Rorschach mentioned.
This is a relatively large room, with the carcasses of various animals and different types of fruit arranged in an orderly manner.
The food was arranged from large to small. After walking for a while, everyone saw the living people that Rorschach had mentioned.
Next to a pile of dead animals was a row of fifteen unconscious people.
"So, wake them up?"
Decarte looked at the unconscious guys and found that they were just asleep.
"give it to me."
Olga walked out of the crowd, closed her eyes, and activated the power of the Dream-Dream Fruit.
After a while, the people lying down trembled slightly, opened their eyes in fear, and some even screamed.
"Don't eat me!"
"Run!"
"Help!"
…………
Olga had a wicked smile on her face, and when she felt other people's eyes on her, she spread her hands indifferently.
"I just gave them a little nightmare, that's all."
Everyone who had woken up calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief when they realized it was just a nightmare. They did not associate the nightmare with other people.
At this moment, a white-haired woman who seemed to be the leader saw Rorschach and dozens of other children, stood up and walked towards them.
"Children, are you the one who saved us?"
The woman's name is Nicole Olivia, a well-known scholar from Xihai O'Hara. Six years ago, she led an expedition team to search for the historical text.
However, the historical texts were scattered all over the world, so they went to one ruin after another. In one of the ruins, they learned that this rare animal island might have historical texts, so they brought the expedition team here.
However, the road to exploring history is difficult. They hit a wall in the ruins of the island and all fell into a coma. When they woke up, they were already in an ant cave.
"My name is Cohen, and they are my brothers and sisters."
Cohen replied briefly, then asked, "Who are you and why are you in an ant cave?"
"Ant cave?"
Just as Olivia was about to ask something, ants the size of her head entered from the entrance.
"What a huge ant! Is it an ancient creature?"
"What do ants this big eat? Meat or fruit?"
"Where's the queen ant? What does the queen ant look like?"
The archaeologists were not surprised but delighted to see these ants suddenly appear, and began to discuss their living habits.
"Hey, what are they trying to do?"
"It should be to eliminate the invaders."
Seeing that the group of ants were about to attack them, a group of archaeologists stood in front of Rorschach and the others and took out the axes hanging on their waists.
"Leave the fighting to the adults, and children, remember to protect yourself."
Ten seconds later.
"Everyone, run!"
As soon as the ant colony launched the first wave of attack, the archaeologists were defeated and fled.
"Ah...this..."
Dekal opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The narrow passage was not suitable for attacks such as explosions and fire that could easily cause the tunnel to collapse, so Esdeath stepped forward.
"Frozen for thousands of miles!"
With her ice-blue hair flying, Esdeath stepped on the ground, and the ice that penetrated deep into her bones spread out. The dark tunnel turned ice-blue, and the swarm of ants rushing towards her turned into a swarm of ant ice sculptures.
"Run away..."
The archaeologists were halfway through their run when they felt the pursuit behind them stop. They turned around and saw a group of ants frozen into ice sculptures.
Without giving them time to relax, Cohen walked up to Olivia and began to ask.
"Do you know if there are any ruins here or there?"
"Well, we were originally inside the ruins, and I don't know why we ended up here."
…………
The two of them talked for a while, and Cohen roughly confirmed that the destination of the treasure map was probably the ruins on the island.
In order to find the ruins faster, Cohen led the archaeological team out of the ant cave.
"The Door-Door Fruit? It's a power that can be used. Kid, are you interested in becoming an archaeologist?"
As soon as Carmen came out of the cave, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came up to her. He was very jealous of Carmen's abilities.
"An archaeologist?"
"Correct!"
"Not interested in."
Carmen ignored the middle-aged man who had turned into a black and white painting, and caught up with the main group again.
With Olivia leading the way and Rorschach and the others clearing obstacles along the way, everyone arrived at a ruin without any obstacles.
There are five strange symbols on the gate of the ruins, and there is a button inside each symbol.
"If we want to open the gate to the ruins, we have to follow the correct order. We got the order wrong before and were confused by the mist."
Olivia explained, and a fat man in the team stepped forward, took out a magnifying glass and began to study the ancient symbols on the stone door.
Archaeology has a broad scope, and everyone has his or her own area of expertise. This person is an expert in studying ancient runes.
"I already have an idea. Give me another half an hour and I..."
The man was halfway through his words when a blue portal suddenly appeared in front of him, causing him to swallow back the words he hadn't yet finished.
"Half an hour, what a waste of time."
Carmen curled her lips in disgust and walked in, followed by the others.
"I would say he is a rare archaeological talent!"
The middle-aged man with glasses at the beginning said this proudly and walked into the portal.
Looking at the eyes around her, Olivia spread her hands and said helplessly: "Let's go."
Unlike the ancient forest outside, the decoration inside the ruins has a cyberpunk feel, like a... laboratory.
Hitron pulled out a Pikachu-like flashlight and illuminated the layout of the room, allowing everyone to see clearly.
The laboratory looked like it hadn't been taken care of for years, and was covered in dust.
Tesla spoke after taking a look at the surrounding arrangements.
"This is the rest area. It should have a lighting system."
Tesla began to feel around on the wall as he spoke, which frightened the archaeologists.
"This is a relic. Moving around might trigger the mechanism."
"Be careful. The most taboo thing when exploring ruins is to move around randomly."
"Let's study the layout here..."
Before the archaeologists could finish their words, Tesla touched a button that looked like a power switch.
After several unsuccessful attempts to turn on the light, Tesla shouted to Thor.
"Thor, recharge."
