In the next three days, everyone at Free City worked together to search and finally found the elven ruins.
What is unexpected is that it is located near Dick, directly below the nearest rich man's villa to the Bishop's Palace.
Early that morning, a group of demon hunters and Alice set out after getting ready.
The owner of the villa has been temporarily asked to leave, and everyone walked around the backyard on the lawn covered with morning dew.
Harden used a butcher knife to split open the vines covered with cobwebs, and a natural tunnel covered with blue moss suddenly appeared.
The water droplets seeping from the wet rock wall dripped on the Russell shoulder armor, emitting a faint smell of sulfur.
Alice placed his hands on the closed cave rock deep in the tunnel and whispered in a low voice.
For a moment, the blue-black rock in front rippled like water ripples.
After the waves subsided, a deeper cave entrance was revealed.
"This place was once sealed with magic by some warlocks." Dick said, taking the lead in walking in, followed closely by everyone.
They walked down the spiral staircase that smelled strongly of the sea.
Dick calculated in his mind that after walking up 50 steps, he found the real entrance to the elf ruins.
Although it looks dilapidated, you can still vaguely see the fine stone carvings on the walls.
What caught everyone's eyes was a huge circular green brick venue.
Old stone pillars carved with precise patterns rise from the ground to support this spacious space.
In the middle of the venue, there is a circular stone platform about one meter above the ground. The stone platform is held upside down by a translucent energy cover.
There is a deep square elf tunnel on the left and right sides of the venue.
Directly in front, a closed silver door stood majestically, with the complex and exquisite Noldor Elves pattern carved on the door.
The erosion of time has left mottled traces here.
Russell showed surprise:
"Dick, you see this place is quite spacious. Although it looks a bit worn out, the load-bearing columns are all intact.
If it were renovated, it would be enough for dozens of people to live there.
We can let the little demon hunter come here to practice and build a second base.
It happened that all the monsters in No Man's Land disappeared, and I walked around Free City yesterday, and some Drowner still appeared faintly on the river bank from time to time.
And there must be monsters in the underground passages of this elf ruins."
"This is indeed a good idea.
Now that the cathedral is owned by me, I think we can slowly move Witcher Order to Free City.
First, the defense of Free City is much stronger than that of Kaer Morhen;
Secondly, Cleaver Gang of Free City and the other two gangs have surrendered, so it is safer to live here.
Moreover, the little demon hunters have been staying in the mountains, which is not conducive to character growth. I don't want to cultivate people as stubborn as Aisi."
"Okay, that's it. From now on, we will train demon hunters every once in a while and send them to Highland's Circle of Elements to awaken Signs, which can be considered part of their training.
Dick, let's do it now."
Looking at Russell's eyes, Dick knew that he wanted to show off in front of Alice, and naturally he would not refuse.
He also suggested that Alice and Russell should be in a group, and he and Harden should be in a group, and they should go down the left and right steps respectively.
However, Alice shook his head.
Russell's eyes dimmed for a moment, Dick knew that he couldn't do anything about feelings, so he regrouped:
He is in a group with Alice, and Russell is in a group with Harden.
The two groups of people slowly approached the stone platform covered by the energy shield. The energy shield became more and more transparent, and the monsters inside were exposed.
The monster had its back to them and was over three feet tall.
Harden touched his chin. "Isn't this Earth Elemental? But it looks much bigger than the ordinary Earth Elemental."
Dick quickly reminded, "Let's not go any further, my Witcher Senses is issuing an early warning."
Although the elven ruins were deep and dark, the scene in front of them was clearly displayed under the influence of the cat eyes of the three demon hunters.
In addition to Alice, the two senior brothers also noticed something was wrong.
First, this Earth Elemental is covered in white bone armor, which seems to be pieced together from the bones of giant beasts;
Secondly, its size is too big, it is twice as big as the ordinary Earth Elemental.
While everyone was stopping to observe, Earth Elemental suddenly turned around, his eyes were blood red, and he let out a deep roar with strong murderous intent.
The roar was like thunder, causing the gravel above the ruins to fall.
"We can't let it continue, solve it quickly!" Russell was so excited that the veins on his neck popped out.
Dick put one hand on the hilt of Dawn Blade's sword at his waist and saw that the two senior brothers had quickly drawn their weapons.
Alice shook his palm, and a bright red flame floated in his palm.
With a "bang" sound, the transparent film suddenly collapsed.
Earth Elemental bent his legs slightly, jumped out of thin air, and jumped two or three meters high, then stepped on the ground hard on the spot.
Accompanied by a loud "bang", with it as the center, a large circle of Flames with the smell of sulfur spread out in all directions.
Everyone immediately took emergency measures:
Russell and Harden quickly retreat to avoid being directly burned by Flames.
Their quick movements demonstrate the rich experience of the witchers.
Dick came here just to relax. For him, Earth Elemental in front of him could be solved with one sword.
At this moment, he was just reminiscing about the memory of when he accepted the commission to hunt demons.
Like the two senior brothers, he was retreating when he suddenly found Alice standing motionless on the side, the flame in his hand extinguished.
The trembling eyelashes and absent-minded pupils showed that Alice was stunned.
Dick thought to himself, it seems that most warlocks are indeed like "glass cannons". Although their output is strong, their on-the-spot response is not even comparable to that of ordinary people.
Dick quickly blocked in front of Alice.
With a slight push from his right hand, a stream of Piercing Cold Shockwave, which was deliberately controlled and therefore not very powerful, shot forward like a mirror.
With a "boom" sound, the shock wave was like a skateboard breaking through a huge wave, creating a gap in the incoming Flames.
Alice finally came to his senses and said "Thank you" with a slightly trembling voice.
Dick was about to let Russell show off, but heard him shout, "Dick, you two, be careful, we can't get in for the time being!"
He looked back and understood the current situation.
It turned out that Flames, which exuded a strong sulfur smell, actually trapped him, Alice and the mutated Earth Elemental in the fire ring on the stone platform.
The three-meter-high Flames blocked the two senior brothers. Russell and Harden tried to use Signs to forcefully break through the fire circle, but failed.
Because when the Mind Shockwave they emit hits the Flames circle, not only does it not have the same effect as Dick, but it actually makes the Flames burn more vigorously.
"Looks like I have to solve it myself." Dick complained secretly in his heart, while glancing at Alice.
Seeing that her expression was still tense, he deliberately smiled funnyly and said, "It seems that we can only go out if we beat the 'little dwarf' in front of us into dirt."
Alice After hearing this, his clenched hands relaxed.
Although everyone knows that Dick is extremely powerful, they don't know exactly how strong he is.
So Alice said based on past experience, "Dick, I will cast the spell close to the Flames circle and far away from this Monster. You can help me contain it."
"No problem, it's up to me! But you must be careful not to let it hurt you in the first place."
Immediately, Dick came up with his sword.
Earth Elemental roared angrily, stretched out its ugly arm made of rocks and bones, and swung it at Dick.
Alice on the other side was silently reciting a spell, his pupils suddenly tightened.
But seeing a flash of silvery white light, Earth Elemental was split into two halves, and then the whole body was broken into stones, leaving only the energy core on the chest.
The round core rolled gurglingly to Alice's feet, and she could still feel the slightly hot energy emitting from the energy core.
But now that the spell has been exported, Alice can only continue.
When the Flames in his hand burned as big as a basin, he threw it away violently.
She didn't care what the outcome was, and turned away, the tips of her ears turning slightly red.
The panel uploaded a prompt:
Kill Hell Earth Elemental x1 and get Energy Points x100. The current total is Energy Points x200.
Dick Energy Points doesn't take this point too seriously. In short, "Mosquito meat is still meat no matter how small it is."
However, what reassured him the most was the Earth Elemental prefix "Hell". It seemed that what he felt at the time was right, King Lioke was here.
Dick looked at the still closed door in front of him. In this case, he had to solve all the troubles in the left and right passages before he could open the door and see King Lioke.
As the monster died, the surrounding Flames circle slowly extinguished, and smoke curled up from the original place.
The two senior brothers rushed over, Russell fiddled with the charred gravel with the tip of his sword, and suddenly raised his foot and kicked away half of the bone armor:
"My God! Last time we dealt with the vampire at Bacchus, it took a long time!
I said Dick, did you secretly drink double the potion?"
"Hmm?"
"Why do I feel that you are stronger than the last time we were at the Bacchus Empire? Hey, senior brother, I will never be able to catch up with your strength in this life."
"Isn't it good for me to be strong? Only if I am stronger can I protect Witcher Order."
"You're right to say that."
At this time, Harden handed Earth Elemental's energy core to Alice.
After taking it, the sorceress couldn't help but sigh, "This Earth Elemental energy stone is twice as big as the normal Earth Elemental core.
At that time, if you really want to build lighting and other facilities under the elven ruins, you can rely on it."
Russell walked quickly to Alice eagerly. "Do you want us to rest for a while?"
"That's not necessary. I'm not tired at all. Besides, I didn't put in much effort just now."
"Okay, let's quickly solve the trouble here. Now choose any direction?" Dick asked again.
"On the right side." Russell and Harden said in unison.
