Chapter 198: The ruins of Gossas

The waterway behind became increasingly difficult to walk, and the dead trees floating on the river became a serious obstacle, leaving the fast advantage of taking a boat gone. Odniz ordered to abandon two rafts and land on foot to go to the ruins of Gossas.

Due to the situation that occurred last night, the team was particularly cautious in their actions. Two archers acting as scouts kept moving around the team and were ready to fight at any time.

However, they did not find any trace of the enemy. The human scout that appeared last night seemed to be just a very accidental event.

In the afternoon, the team finally walked out of the dense forest, and suddenly became clear in front of them, and a majestic mountain range appeared in everyone's sight.

"Climbing the mountain in front is the ruins of Gossas. Our people are trapped in a monastery not far from the bottom of the mountain..." Gonggo, who was the guide, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the worry in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "I hope they are all still there."

"We care more about how many enemies there are..." Odniz said lightly.

After experiencing the scouts peeping camp, the lion warrior obviously no longer trusts the Seme, but he had no intention of giving up his mission until no more dangers appeared.

A true mercenary must be cautious and fearless.

It was not far away from the mountain ahead, but it took two sands time to actually reach the foot of the mountain. As the sun sets in the west, we couldn't help but speed up our pace.

Fortunately, the mountain they climbed was not very high, and the mercenaries were all agile, so they quickly reached the top of the mountain.

In front of it, a huge ruined city lies quietly dormant in the arms of mountains and forests.

The ruins of Gossas! This is the largest ruin in the first realm of the holy land and the first ruin of ancient civilization to be discovered.

Looking down from a high place, this ruined city is amazingly large in scale. The buildings with mountains gather towards the central square according to certain rules. The streets and alleys are arranged neatly and radially. The setting sun shines on the ancient and dilapidated buildings, with an indescribable vicissitudes.

There is no wall in Gossas. The vines in the forest can invade its edges unscrupulously. Many places are covered by dense vegetation. Only the towers of ruins still stand unyieldingly. They have never fallen down for thousands of years, facing the invasion of wind, frost, rain and snow.

It is said that someone once sorted out the classics excavated in the ruins and found that the City of Gössas is one of the largest cities in the first realm of the holy land. It accommodates millions of people and has a brilliant urban civilization.

In fact, Gossas City is built on the edge of the secret forest, and the southeast direction of the city is completely plain.

But thousands of years have passed, and the forest has continuously expanded and occupied the plains. The city of Gossas has not been completely covered and swallowed up by the large forest so far. It is a complete miracle.

Now, even adventurers no longer come to this ancient ruin, because every corner of it is explored, and all the valuable things are gone, leaving only empty ruins.

"Look, there is the monastery where our tribe hides!" Gongge said loudly, looking very excited.

The monastery he refers to is located in the northeast of the city of Cossas, a complex of buildings in the corners of the city. Due to the distance, it is impossible to see clearly the situation in the building, but one of the blue-black towers is very eye-catching.

"It's going to be dark soon!" The old lion Guqi said in a deep voice: "Do we want to go over?"

"No!" Odniz shook his head: "Let's not get close there first, let Feili and Kaka go over and see first, and then find out the situation, at least we understand who our enemy is!"

"But…"

Seeing that the destination was right in front of him, the Holy Blade stopped moving forward. Although he knew that Odeniz's decision was correct, Gonggo could not hide his anxiety.

"Nothing is true!" Odniz interrupted his words completely and looked directly at the other party with a sharp look: "You must remember that I am the captain, and all actions must be followed by my command!"

Gong Ge lowered his head and remained silent.

Two archers quietly hid in the mountains, while other members of the Holy Blade were hiding nearby.

In order not to reveal the traces, the team did not set up camp or light a bonfire, and patiently waited for the return of the two scouts.

The sun sets and night falls, and darkness covers the earth. However, when the moon rises, the bright white moon shines a hazy veil to the towering mountains and the ruins of Cosas, and the night becomes particularly charming.

The first secret realm of the Holy Realm is divided into four seasons and day and night, but there is only one moon here at night, which is more like the original world of Leon.

After waiting for a long time, Feili and Kaka returned safely, but the female archer's face was very bad.

"Trouble!" she whispered: "The monastery was surrounded by human adventurers. They also established camps at the foot of the mountain. Our enemy was not a mercenary at all, but a mercenary group with at least hundreds of people!"

"There are their sentinels on the mountain, but the defense is not very tight, and fortunately we are careful enough not to be discovered."

Mercenary Group! Odniz suddenly changed his face. A mercenary team had at most a dozen people. Compared with a mercenary group with hundreds of people, the gap was not ordinary.

If the other party was a mercenary group, then the Holy Blade would not have the chance to escort the Seme tribe to the wild fortress. In fact, their actions when they came to the ruins of Gossas were more like seeking death.

If the human mercenary group found out that they appeared and launched an attack, I really don’t know how many ten people here could go back.

"I'll do it!" The old lion Guqi couldn't help but swear.

This time, he took the initiative to ask Odeniz for help. He originally thought he could easily earn a vote, but found that the difficulty of the task was far greater than expected.

Guchi was really embarrassed and angry. As an old mercenary, he was actually fooled by a semen native. Fortunately, things were not at the worst, otherwise he would have no face to face Odeniz.

A fierce light flashed in Odniz's eyes, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed Gonggo's neckline, shouting in a low voice: "You dare to deceive us. We will give up this mission. If you want to die, you can go alone!"

Although he lowered his voice, everyone could clearly feel his anger.

According to the rules of the mercenary union, if the employer commits fraud in advance, the mercenary hired can completely give up the task in the middle and will not be punished.

Gongo was frightened by Odeniz's sudden anger and couldn't speak loudly.

"Let's go and go back to the wild fortress!" Odniz threw the Seminister to the ground hatefully: "We are unlucky this time!"

Guqi, who was standing behind, looked embarrassed, and even Leon was a little embarrassed. After all, he told the old lion about this mission, and he didn't expect that such a result would be.

"Mr. Odenitz, please listen to me..."

Seeing the mercenaries turning around and leaving, Gonggo, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly woke up and rushed over and hugged Odniz's thighs tightly.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. When I came here, they were indeed only a dozen people, so I could escape to the fortress for support!"

He cried in tears, looking very pitiful: "How could he know that there are so many people now? Please save my tribe!"

Odniz shook his head: "Even if you didn't lie to me, the enemy is now a mercenary group, and it is impossible for us to defeat it."

After a pause, he continued, "But you can go back with us and ask for help from the garrison. If they are willing to send a battle group or offer a reward from the union, maybe your tribe will be saved."

This is the greatest kindness that Odeniz can give to the other party. If it were other erratic mercenaries, Fan Gonggo's two big mouths would be considered light.

Gongo gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Mr. Odniz, it's really too late to go back. If you can help my tribe get out of the predicament, in addition to the conditions originally agreed, we are willing to give out an ancient holy weapon inherited from the clan as a reward!"

Ancient holy weapon! This name seems to have magic power, and everyone was stunned.

The four tribes of the mainland entered the holy realm and ventured into the holy realm. The most precious spoils obtained from the secret realm are not magic cores or rare materials, but various magic weapons, soul weapons, and magic weapons excavated from the ruins of ancient civilizations.

The birth and development of the fighting spirit, magic, and soul technology civilization of the four tribes in the mainland benefited greatly from these ancient relics.

These objects with special attributes also have high and low levels. Some may be worthless, while others may be worth a lot of money. Among them, the holy artifact is the title of their higher level.

If a mercenary is lucky enough to obtain a useful holy weapon in the secret realm of the Holy Realm, then he will either gain more powerful power or exchange for spending his entire life.

It can be said that discovering a holy weapon is the ultimate dream of most holy mercenaries.

As for the highest artifact, it is not something that mortals should have.

However, after hundreds of years of exploration, almost all the known ruins in the first secret realm of the Holy Land have been explored. Unless new ruins can be discovered, it is completely impossible to find a holy weapon.

But now, a Semi man actually said that his tribe had ancient holy tools and was willing to take them out as rewards. How could he not shock the mercenaries?

"How do we know what you said is true?" Leon suddenly asked, "Besides, you are not the chief of the tribe. Can the conditions you promised be fulfilled?"
