You'd Better Keep Your Mouth Shut

The two Gundams flew far away, heading towards the next ruin. Russell's flying Flying Carpet, having lost his Dog Pack, remained suspended in mid-air, waiting.

"The quicksand area is extremely dangerous; once you get stuck, you're basically done for. This area covers a vast area, enough to swallow pyramids and cities. You might not be able to accept this, but... your dog is probably not coming back."

"It's a wolf!"

"Okay, it's a wolf!" Ying Yingying was speechless. She had said it was a dog before, but now it's a wolf. "You've seen the power of quicksand. The entire pyramid was swallowed up, and none of the Reincarnator inside escaped, let alone your... wolf."

Russell categorically denied it. "Not necessarily. They look like dogs, so their sand-throwing skills are certainly top-notch."

Ying Yingying: "..."

In the end, it's still just a dog!

The Flying Carpet hovered in mid-air for a while, and only slowly descended after the sand below gradually leveled out. The group threw down their heavy objects, found a safe place to land, and quietly began to wait.

During this time, the sand remained shifting, and not a single Reincarnator escaped alive. In other words, apart from these few individuals and the team with the two Gundams, all the other reincarnation teams that successfully explored the ruins perished.

Whether they are still clinging to life inside the pyramids or not, their chances of escape are extremely slim, and they are basically doomed.

"Awoo! Awoo—"

A massive wolf claw tore through the sand, and a giant Werewolf, standing over 10 meters tall, struggled to emerge from the sand.

Then came the second one, the third one...

The fifteen Werewolf charged forward at breakneck speed. When they reached Russell, their size suddenly shrank, and they shook their fur, sending up large amounts of yellow sand.

"Their size is..."

Ying Yingying's eyes twitched. She remembered that when she first saw Werewolf transform, their average height was only 4 meters. How long has it been? The water injection shouldn't have happened so quickly!

"See? I told you so. They'll definitely escape." Russell patted the dogs' heads, beckoned them onto the Flying Carpet, and prepared to head to the next ruin.

"How terrifying! Even with over a dozen powerful Reincarnator, they couldn't escape... wait a minute..."

Ying Yingying stumbled onto the Flying Carpet, speechless at the reality before her. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she frowned and looked at the Dog Pack beside her. "Jason, could it be that they demolished the pyramids?"

Russell froze, shaking his head repeatedly. "Impossible, how could such a thing happen? You're overthinking it!"

"Really? But I..."

"You think too highly of them. Look at them, these stupid creatures dared to dismantle the pyramids?" Russell interrupted Ying Yingying, picked up a Husky, and pressed its head down towards her. "Good boy, tell this auntie, did you dismantle the pyramids?"

The Dog Pack immediately tilted its head to the side, its tongue lolling out from the corner of its mouth, and its cross-eyed, piercing gaze silently asked: Who is the pyramid?

Ying Yingying: "..."

Whether Ying Yingying believes it or not, Russell believes the Dog Pack are innocent because there is no evidence that they are the culprits!

The Flying Carpet slowly flew in mid-air, heading in the direction where the two Gundams had left. After flying for more than half an hour, the landscape underwent tremendous changes.

The vast desert abruptly ends, replaced by mountains, rivers, and vibrant green land. A primeval forest stretches for hundreds of kilometers, crisscrossed by streams, shaded by trees, and teeming with Beast.

The beautiful scenery of birds singing and flowers blooming is the complete opposite of the barren desert.

"Look, that pillar in the middle must be the location of the ruins." Jian Shaoxin looked into the distance and spotted a towering stone tablet.

The Flying Carpet sped closer, and upon seeing the current state of the stone tablet, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. This astonishingly tall stone tablet, almost reaching the sky, was broken in two. It was hard to imagine how incredibly tall it must have been when it was intact.

As you approach the pillars, the primeval jungle recedes, revealing a vast lake standing prominently. Moreover, there are many similar pillars, though their heights vary considerably; of the hundreds of pillars, the tallest is no more than 50 meters.

In the center of the lake lies a dilapidated city, its former glory now just a desolate ruin.

Within the city, the intricate network of waterways seemed somewhat familiar to Russell. Looking at the large marine carcasses floating on the lake, he seemed to understand something.

"We might be too late..." Looking down at the giant beast's corpse, Ying Yingying's face stiffened as she piloted her Flying Carpet and landed directly in the city center.

Without encountering any resistance, the Flying Carpet moved unimpeded. The group looked at the collapsed stone tablet, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.

"Go find out if there's an entrance nearby, and come back and tell me when you find it." Russell patted the Dog Pack's head, encouraging them to use their strengths to find useful clues.

The group split up on the spot and searched together for the entrance to the ruins.

Soon, the Dog Pack returned to Russell's side, tugging at his robes and eager to claim credit.

Russell quickly caught up with the husky leading the way. After its upgrade, the husky ran even faster, and Russell could barely keep up even with his full speed. Passing through a tree hole covered by long vines, they came to a spacious square. Climbing the steps, they saw a giant stone statue.

The figure depicted in the statue is an acquaintance of Russell. The giant in armor walks on the waves and wields a trident. Who else could it be but Poseidon!

Unlike Poseidon from the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, the statue has a human body and a fish tail, and is depicted as a middle-aged man with a full curly beard.

Behind the statue, where the palace should have been, only pillars and broken walls remain.

Thus, the reason for the trident's repeated malfunctions was finally revealed: the Atlantis of the Inner Earth World, covering the surrounding area, affected Skull Island in the upper realm. It's highly likely that a... trident also exists there.

The Dog Pack rushed into the ruins and frolicked, their front paws flailing as they dug downwards, eventually unearthing the corpse of a Reincarnator.

Russell raised his gun and fired into the air. Soon after, Ying Yingying and the others arrived.

"Clearly, this ruin represents the Atlantis civilization, but we were too late; it had already been explored."

Everyone was filled with apprehension. Of the five ancient civilization ruins, they had successfully explored the ancient Egyptian civilization, completing one-third of the mission. Now, the Atlantis civilization had been overtaken by other Reincarnator, and they had to hurry to successfully explore two of the remaining three ruins. The situation was quite dire.

"The Atlantis civilization was a bit unexpected. I wonder what the remaining three civilizations will be?" The group boarded the Flying Carpet and headed straight out of the green area.

Russell pondered for a moment and said, "As long as there's no ancient Chinese civilization, it's fine. I always feel like that would be a trap..."

"Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?"

Ying Yingying rolled her eyes at Russell with a hint of resentment. "My personal suggestion is that you'd better not say anything."
