Black-Haired Girl

Yin Ming barely hesitated. Not only did he refrain from entering the ruins, he instead left in the opposite direction.

Forget Flameburners—there were thirty-four Explorer and Luminary identity badges alone.

There might have been a treasure inside the ruins, one that resonated with every official member of the Flame-Burners Association. He was not the only one who sensed that resonance, nor was he some one-of-a-kind boy chosen by the light.

Besides, this was Ouroboros Lineage territory, not some ownerless ruin.

Trying to fish in troubled waters and snatch benefits from a ruin someone else was excavating was simply wishful thinking.

In short: mass-sent, read, no reply!

"..."

The ruins!

Something unknown must have happened.

A dark, lightless ruin buried underground for thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of years—

With extraordinary power lingering within, even an ordinary corpse could become a Baleful Entity and breed all manner of unnatural phenomena.

Yet not a single Explorer had died in an accident. That in itself was profoundly abnormal.

However, for Yin Ming, who had entered the ruins and made a trip through them after deciphering a grand total of two characters, getting caught up in it was actually rather difficult.

"Light..."

Yin Ming returned to the cave. Dazzling white light bloomed in the direction of the ruins.

This place was neither too close nor too far. If anything happened, he could immediately flee; if nothing did, he could still return to the ruins in time.

As one of the founding elder lineages of the Warlock Alliance, the Ouroboros Lineage had both strength and status.

As long as he did not dream of snatching food from their mouths or entertain unrealistic fantasies, his safety should be assured. He merely needed to wait until they obtained the treasure, and everything would settle into place.
