A thick gray smoke was tumbling up from the bottom of the cave, but after this smoke diffused to the position of the original blue crystal, it strangely stopped spreading around.

The gray smoke that quickly became thicker, as if trying to seal the hole, stopped rising and began to gather rapidly in the place where the blue crystals had been.

Raymond, whose pupils flashed with red dots, immediately let the chip start to probe and analyze when he saw this, but Jonas, who was still retreating sharply, immediately let out an excited roar. "Oh my God! It's a maintenance-type rare wizard tower!"

With Jonas's roar, the protective force field that frantically gathered to the original position of the blue crystal also completely revealed.

The surging force field fluctuations caused the refraction of light to appear around the cave entrance, and the powerful fluctuations that spread from it also made everyone breathless.

But Cyril, the minotaur, who reacted just as quickly, appeared in front of Jonas at the same time as this force field ripple was generated, and he burst out with a colossal momentum, protecting Jonas and Winnie behind him.

Jonas, who stopped, quickly swiped his hands on his chest, and soon a huge fireball was condensed by him, and without hesitation, it smashed into the gray smoke that was gradually solidifying.

In an instant, the fireball that smashed on the gray smoke burst open, and in a strange "squeak" sound, the gray smoke that had stopped tumbling and rising immediately made a sharp sound under the cover of the flames, and soon turned into wisps of fly ash in the flames and drifted away.

And when Jonas's fire spell converged, Raymond activated the chip's detection function, and just as the flames were about to be completely extinguished, the chip's analysis of the gray smoke finally appeared in his sight.

"Inexplicable lepidopteran insects. It is 0.2 mm long, inanimate and has unknown characteristics. ”

The photo taken by the chip was quickly zoomed in, and soon a complete three-dimensional view of the insect appeared in Raymond's sight.

Two pairs of gray membranous wings, plus eight pairs of strange gastropods, although they have the characteristics of lepidopteran insects as a whole, the shriveled head, sunken compound eyes, and even the body that lacks a large number of gastropods show that this moth-like insect has long since lost its life. And has been dead for many years!

By the time Raymond finished reviewing the data, the flames controlled by Jonas were still burning in the place of the original blue crystals, and the gray smoke composed of dried moths that continued to gush out from below gradually became thinner. In the end, the flame, which was deprived of the support of combustible materials, was also extinguished unsustainably.

Facing the excited eyes of Jonas who bet on him. Raymond didn't understand the meaning of what he had said for a moment. But Jonas cried out as he could. "Lord Raymond, this relic may have existed for longer than you imagined, and this harvest will be shocking!"

Facing Jonas who looked excited, Raymond was a little dazed for a while, but seeing that Jonas had already walked towards the open passage, Raymond hesitated and hurriedly followed.

A large hole with a diameter of one meter. Appearing in the location of the original blue crystal, the four walls of the cave still have the roots of the plants that were spawned by the magic, although there are still wisps of gray smoke rising from below, but the concentration and quantity are much less.

But in the crevices between the roots of the plants and the rocks below the entrance of the cave. There have been quite a few condensations of the dried corpses of these moths, and they are still spreading on the stone wall, as if trying to mend this big hole.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Jonas smiled and re-condensed a flame, and under his control, he began to clean up the gray hard lumps that had solidified, accompanied by the smell of burning plants and a faint smell of fish, and the cave passage that was quickly cleared was completely passable.

As Jonas began to clean the cave walls, Raymond broke a small piece of gray attachment from the cave wall and looked at it carefully with the help of a chip.

Raymond, who lowered his head, saw the image of countless insect corpses stacked together, these shriveled and waterless insect corpses were all glued together after being stacked, and their hardness was no lower than that of ordinary stones.

Moreover, the gaps between these insect corpses are also extremely small, which can not only isolate the penetration of water, but also make it very difficult for air to pass through!

"Lord Raymond, the dried corpse of this moth is not offensive in any way," Jonas, who quickly cleaned up the passage to the bottom, saw that Raymond was studying this gray substance, and introduced with some excitement. "But this is an extremely rare passive defense method in the ancient wizard's tower, if it is not cleared in time, this passage will soon be blocked, and its strength will exceed that of ordinary stones!"

"The dried corpse of the moth?" As Raymond's fingers twisted, the gray piece in his hand did not react at all, and Raymond, who was a little puzzled, turned his gaze to Jonas. "Lord Jonas, how did the dried corpses of these moths have such properties, is it the effect of witchcraft?"

Shaking his head, the adoring Jonas sighed. "The reason why the dried corpses of these moths have such an effect has not been solved until now, but the wizard tower with such protective measures must be very old. ”

Raymond, who had already let the chip analyze the condensation of the dried corpse of this moth in his hand, couldn't help frowning when he heard it. "Lord Jonnas, there is no doubt about the power of ancient wizards, so does it mean that the risk of exploring this relic has increased?"

"Boom, no!" Excitement appeared on his face, and Jonas laughed loudly and rejected Raymond's speculation. "The more ancient wizard relics with such moth dried corpses, the risk inside them will be reduced, according to the statistics of the Ruins Exploration Association, the discovery of such ruins generally represents a decrease in the degree of risk, but the benefits that may be obtained in it will be beyond imagination!"

Unlike Jonas's excitement, although Raymond's expectations for a possible harvest had increased, Raymond, who remained calm, just nodded, and walked to the entrance of the passage to start observing.

Straight down to the passage below, the surrounding rocks were more than two meters thick, but everything below seemed to be able to cut off the view, and Raymond couldn't see anything inside...... (To be continued.) )
