Candlelight Ruins, Jump Down!

"Moore, Moore, Mole, why does it have such a ridiculous name!"

Looking at the bear warrior who was a head taller than him, Su Mo rubbed his forehead, looking helpless, and then patted Moore's bear head reassuringly.

When I touched such a huge, upright bear for the first time, I found that Moore's fur was not as rough as I had imagined.

Nourished by abundant energy, Moore looked as if he had just taken a bath, his entire body covered in flowing hair that felt as smooth as silk.

"Master Su Mo, Moore wants to go out and fight. Moore can fight for you!!"

Seemingly sensing that Su Mo didn't believe in his fighting ability, Moore became a little frantic, slapping his bear paws loudly against his chest.

The noise immediately attracted Oreo, who was still playing with the Big and Little Spark on the second floor.

"Woof!"

Upon seeing the towering bear-man, Oreo showed no fear whatsoever, lying on the ground, baring his teeth, ready to fight at any moment!

This loyal demeanor is far more intelligent than the Moore who only knows how to fight.

"Relax, Oreo, let me introduce you to our new partner, Moore!"

With his hand on Moore's shoulder, watching Oreo's muscles relax, Su Mo slowly let out a sigh of relief.

There is a 100% trust between pets and their owners.

But it's not necessarily the same between pets. For example, the relationship between Oreo and Little Spark is better than that between Greedy Big Spark.

If these two combat-level pets meet and don't see eye to eye, and they start fighting while Su Mo is away and can't stop them, it will be a real problem.

"Moore likes him. Moore likes a partner who is loyal to his master!"

Leaving Su Mo behind, the bear-man Moore, with a look of surprise on his face, walked up to the still somewhat wary Oreo and plopped down in a flash.

Now, Oreo and Moore's heads were finally at the same line of sight, with Moore even lower than Moore due to his body size.

Such a formal and polite interaction prompted Oreo to give a sly smile and nod. The two pets had now become acquainted! "Great, now that we're in the shelter, we're partners fighting side by side!"

"Enough with the small talk, we have another tough battle to fight today."

When dealing with pets, we should treat them like children, and try to speak in a way that is as childlike as possible.

With Moore's addition, Su Mo felt more confident about the upcoming Candlelight Ruins.

Such a warrior would be no match for even the Tibetan Mastiff from last time. With a terrifying slap of his bear paw, Moore could kill the Tibetan Mastiff in a single exchange.

Grab your things, head out quickly, and start the King Kong!

Seeing that Moore chose to lie down in the bucket with Oreo, Su Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately increased the speed to the maximum.

A roar of diesel fuel burning in the engine burst forth, the sound echoing across the wasteland.

Thick black smoke rose from the ground and was then blown behind by the fast-moving King Kong, forming a spectacular exhaust spray.

It was the first time Moore had ever sat in such a modern machine. Lying in the bucket, he didn't dare to move at all, his whole body trembling.

In his eyes, the fact that such a huge Iron Block could move at such a speed was completely beyond his comprehension.

Seeing Moore like this, Oreo, who was sitting next to him, burst into laughter, looking incredibly dashing in the strong wind.

With the tracks left from last night and the rising sun in the distance, Su Mo drove the route with practiced ease, even faster than last night.

This time, after passing the ruins of the Kobold Castle, we can see the black mist shrouding the sky and earth in the distance.

This black fog blocked the warm sunlight of the rising sun, and at the same time blocked the vision of any creature that wanted to peek inside from the outside.

Sitting inside the four-meter-tall excavator, looking at the black fog stretching to the sky in the distance, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance in the face of nature.

Natural disasters are merely one factor that spurs human progress.

"To truly understand what happened in this world and what the future holds, we must slowly uncover the truth from these strange ruins."

The wasteland world is full of wonders and many things that only exist in science fiction.

Seeing that Moore had already dared to climb out of the bucket and see, Su Mo smiled slightly and put his worries aside.

In Moore's eyes, the mysterious excavator was a high-tech machine he had never seen before. Even sitting inside it, he had no idea what an excavator was.

The same goes for this black mist. Standing outside, Su Mo still felt that it was grand and full of secrets, but the truth might just be that he hadn't been exposed to it enough!

King Kong continued moving quickly. After opening the Game Panel and calling Chen Shen to pick up the car at the entrance of the ruins, Su Mo drove straight there, following the direction sent by Zhong Qingshu.

In the distance, Zhong Qingshu was already waiting outside the ruins, holding several strangely shaped tools in her hands.

The roar of the excavator interrupted Zhong Qingshu's deep thoughts, and she turned her gaze over.

The next moment, a huge bear head appeared in her line of sight, its smile stretching almost to its ears! "Hoo hoo!"

"Woof woof!"

Upon seeing Zhong Qingshu, Moore shouted excitedly, prompting Oreo beside him to shout along as well.

Before Su Mo could even stop the car and hold Oreo, Moore leaped into the air, performed a skillful backflip, and landed steadily on the ground.

"Miss Zhong, my master Su Mo likes you. He wants to sleep with you and have lots and lots of children!"

"By the way, she called your name in her sleep, and Oreo heard it the whole time!"

"You can let Moore take care of your children. Moore loves playing with kids!"

As soon as the car stopped, Moore, who was holding Oreo, opened his mouth wide and uttered "human language" repeatedly, which stunned Su Mo, who had not yet gotten off the car.

Seeing Moore so honestly betray him, Oreo covered his face, forcibly broke free from Moore's embrace, and quietly slipped to the side.

Completely unaware of his mistake, Moore continued smacking his lips, recounting Oreo's earlier words point by point.

"Hey, I heard there's some really delicious cabbage and meat at our base, which is Moore's favorite."

Thump! After receiving a sharp rap on the head from Su Mo, Moore turned his head away in grievance. Upon noticing Su Mo's "fierce" expression, he had no choice but to hide to the side and complain to Oreo.

"Uh, it's a misunderstanding, and his intelligence is a misunderstanding too! Don't worry about the details!"

Seeing the undisguised deep meaning in Zhong Qingshu's eyes, Su Mo felt a chill run down his spine and quickly changed the subject.

"How long have the ruins been open to the public?"

"It hasn't been long, only about half an hour. And it was unstable at first, but it has just stabilized now, so we can enter!"

Taking out the compass she had seen yesterday, Zhong Qingshu gave it a slight shake. This time, the needle wobbled a couple of times before stopping.

The magnetic firing pin pointed firmly in the direction of the ruins, seemingly guiding something unknown.

"This time it might be a bit bad. Last time we went in, we could just walk right in."

"But this time, it seems that because I successfully completed it once before, the ruins have changed?"

As the moment approached, even Zhong Qingshu, who was usually as composed as a rock, couldn't help but panic.

Su Mo was not surprised by Zhong Qingshu's behavior.

Compared to the wasteland where survival is possible, the ruins are always full of unknowns. No one knows what kind of monsters and demons they will encounter after entering the ruins this time.

However, now that the ruins have taken shape, there is no reason to back down. Without hesitation, Su Mo pulled out an Automatic Rifle and handed it over.

Compared to melee weapons, firearms are more visually appealing and convenient for girls to use.

If you really encounter danger, having a gun in hand can greatly improve your combat effectiveness.

With everything prepared, Su Mo glanced once more at Chen Shen and his group, who were rushing to pick him up, and nodded, then called out to Moore and Oreo, who were rolling around nearby.

The three adults and one child held hands and charged headlong into the black-mist-shrouded ruins.

Boom! Before we even stepped into the ruins, the sun had already risen, and the sky was ablaze with rosy light.

Upon entering the ruins, the entire area was filled with howling ghosts and wailing wolves, as if one had stepped into an abyss of despair.

The darkness was illuminated only by flickering candlelight, ensuring that anyone entering could observe their surroundings.

Have we already come in?

Looking at Zhong Qingshu behind him and Moore, Oreo, and Su Mo, who were still looking around, breathed a sigh of relief.

The Candlelight Ruins are completely different from Liangfang Town; one is a small village with civilization, while the other is like a gate to hell.

The entire site is funnel-shaped, and at the edge of the funnel, in front of the rock wall platform on the far side where everyone is standing, there is only a steep path along the cliff.

Walking on this narrow path, one could easily fall into an endless abyss if one is not careful.

"Should we go down this valley?"

Even though Su Mo was brave, he still trembled as he felt the cold wind blowing from the bottomless cave and the cliff that could only be passed by one person at a time.

It is bottomless.

Extremely dangerous.

It was pitch black.

When the three most terrifying factors are combined, a qualitative change can occur from a quantitative one.

Even the bear warrior Moore, who could adapt to all terrains, felt his legs go weak at this moment. He lay on the side of the platform, carefully looking around to see if there were any other ways to get down.

As for Oreo, it immediately used its evolved special ability, pointing its little ears downwards, seemingly listening to something.

"No, it wants us to jump down from here!" Seeing Su Mo's cautious look, Zhong Qingshu shook her head and handed over the compass in her hand.

At this moment, the compass was pointing to this bottomless abyss.

"Jump down?"

"Right!"
