The most important part of a plant is definitely the roots.

Many old trees cut off their torso and can eventually sprout new buds, but if there is a problem on the roots, they will definitely not live long in the end. This is the case with mutant plants and creatures in the overseas archipelago. Whether it is man-eating flowers or man-eating trees, or other mutant plants that are not well aware of, their core key is on the roots. Things on the ground surface will basically not die if they are cut off, and they will not grow out in a short time.

If plants mutate to this level, they will be almost the same as animals!

Although they do not have as much wisdom as animals, they still rely on their original actions. This area should be one of the places left over from the disaster, but they don’t know what is inside. With Sauron’s current strength, he naturally has no big problems with these things, but this kind of place is too weird and he dare not take risks and go deeper. Let’s leave it here until later to see. Now he has a lot of things to be busy with.

but.

Just when Sauron was about to block the place and let others not get close to him for the time being, Adele Isabella seemed to have seen something, raised her hand and pointed to the other side and said, "See, look! There seems to be something there!"

What's there?

When Soren heard this, he stopped and looked to the side. Sure enough, he saw a gray-black thing. He walked over carefully, paid attention to the strange trees nearby, and then reached out to hold a corner to pick it up. However, he pulled it hard but couldn't pull it out. Some of the thing seemed to be buried under the ground. In desperation, he could only make a gesture to the red-haired female pirate behind, and then the two of them dug out the gray-black stone with weapons at the same time.

"It's Obsidian!"

A hint of incredible expression appeared on Sauron's face, and then he looked at the gray-black stone in his hand. Due to the long-term weathering and the passing of time, this obsidian could no longer see what it used to look like, but he could vaguely determine what part of the architectural sculpture it was. It should have existed for quite a long time.

Obsidian is a very strong and durable ore that has been weathered like this for at least thousands of years!

This is a very rare ore.

It can be used in many places, but it is most commonly used and is used on a large scale, so that there seem to be only two places in Sauron's memory.

The first is the golem puppet!

The second is the Wizard Tower!!!

Whether it is a golemn puppet or a wizard tower, this area was definitely a powerful wizard's territory a long time ago. There is a very likely thing that is related to wizards inside.

There may even be a wizard tower!

Thinking of this, Sauron's breathing became a little quicker. Even a broken wizard tower that had lasted for thousands of years was quite tempting for him. Even if the functions inside were completely destroyed, many of the things stored in it had amazing value. And if Sauron was not mistaken, this might be an ancient ruin left over from the Arcane Empire period. Among them, there may be information and spells from the Arcane Empire period survived, and the value is basically difficult to estimate.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Soren, who had already planned to leave, was still preparing to go in and explore. He ordered to the red-haired pirate behind him, "Be careful, we should try not to disturb these plants, they look like they are asleep."

The sky was already a little dim at this time.

Sauron looked up at the sky, then gestured to Adele Isabella beside him. The two of them walked around separately. There were many strange trees and flowers around them, and they looked very large, a bit like an ancient primeval forest. Occasionally they encountered some leaves. The entire plant moved for a while. However, it seemed that no attack was launched. These strange plants seemed to attack the creatures passing by nearby when they were attacked or needed to eat.

This is very similar to the fact that the beast's stomach is not much aggressive when it is full!

The vision ahead is gradually broadening.

Sauron saw a large lilac flower, and he frowned and observed it. He murmured: "Mandala? No! It just looks a bit like it!"

He turned around and looked at the red-haired pirate and said in a deep voice: "Be careful. Let's go around!"

It doesn't seem like it grows naturally here.

On the contrary, it is like something that was cultivated by artificially and survived for some reason until now. There are strange flower seeds on the ground. It seems that this plant has been left behind, but most of it has not sprouted because the land cannot support so many plants to grow. Some of the flower seeds have been damaged and disappeared, but some of them have been preserved, but they just don’t know what their function is. Sauron felt that these plants are very dangerous, purely the intuition of an experienced wanderer, so he did not dare to disturb them.

Many of the plants here live the same way!

As he bypassed these strange flowers, some broken building outlines appeared in front of him. Because the weathering was too powerful, there were various strange plants and trees all around him. Soren's experience could not tell what it was. He even could not find an entrance to the building in front of him, and naturally he could not judge the situation based on the outside. Not all underground ruins would leave you an entrance, and even help you open a tunnel to explore.

In relatively high-end or relatively old places, many underground ruins will not even be left for you.

What to do at that time?

dig!

Dig it yourself!

A hole was dug out and a tunnel was dug out. This is how the high-end adventurer team dug out. Many sunken cities in the desert collapsed and rushed in quickly sand. How many people dug them all the way back then to find treasures. When Sauron saw the surface of the ruins that had not even a hole left for him, he knew that today's exploration could only end here. This building had completely sunk underground, and maybe it was filled with sea water. Anyway, many situations could happen.

You can't get in now!

Sauron had to open the passage here, then arrange for people to dig it out, and finally find a tunnel that could be entered with him.

He observed it a little.

Prepare to remember the surrounding environment and some iconic features, but at this time the red-haired pirate suddenly said, "Your Excellency! Look at the corner of that wall, it seems that something is wrong!"

Very strong search ability!?

Sauron looked at the red-haired female pirate next to him in surprise, and then moved towards the wall position. The woman didn't know whether she had high intuition or strong basic skills, but she seemed to be a little stronger than him in terms of discovery. Sauron saw a plant that looked a bit like a lantern grass, and he didn't dare to get too close. He walked around to the back from afar, and then saw a strange gray crack.

"Space cracks!?"

Sauron's expression was a little surprised, and he just took a look and murmured: "Shadow plane?! The buildings here also connect to the shadow plane? It seems to be a permanently solidified plane gap! Did the owner here in the past open a fixed teleportation channel?"

Shadow plane.

One of the most familiar immaterial planes of Soren.

He just took a quick look at the space crack in front of him and guessed the general effect and reason, and he was sure that his chances of being correct were more than 90%.

This is not arrogant, but his confidence!

He has traveled through the shadow plane too many times, and has survived in the shadow plane for a while.

"Let's go."

Sauron looked up at the sky and said slowly: "It's too dangerous to come back in the future."

Shadow planes cannot be broken through.

Because although the shadow plane connects to the material plane, the environments of the two are not the same, and there may be some ancient and dangerous creatures. If you act in the shadow plane, you may encounter monsters with a challenge level three or above at any time, and the proportion of the quasi-legendary special life and legendary level monsters is quite large, much larger than that of the material plane.

And there are shadow dragons in many places!

……………………

The two of them carefully retreated, and the camp was almost completed.

Although it is still very simple at the moment, after all, it was only one day, and Soren did not impose anything. What I found in the strange jungle today is the focus of Sauron's consideration. The slaves were driven together by the pirates and worked for a long time. They also received some food at this moment. Although it was very rough and inferior, it could at least fill them. Sauron was not a stingy person. If they didn't give the slaves enough, they would not have the energy to work. It's a very simple truth.

The night passed quickly.

Just when Sauron woke up and was about to think about how to explore that weird place, the half-elf-elf mate with an ugly face walked in quickly and said in a narrow voice: "Grand! Three slaves secretly ran away last night!"

What!?

Sauron's face turned pale in an instant.

The half-elves' first mate noticed his expression and quickly said, "But two of them were caught by us just after they ran out, and the other one escaped into the jungle. I have sent someone to catch him."

"All the people who escaped were indigenous!"

"Your Excellency, I suggest that these natives work in shackles, who are much disobedient than other slaves!"

Sauron's face was very gloomy.

After hearing the words of the half-elves, he shook his head gently, and then said coldly: "No need! Pass my order, let someone prepare two crosses, nail the two escaped slaves to death, and put the racks on the place where the slaves work."

The half-elf-elf mate showed a cruel smile when he heard this, and immediately nodded, "Okay! Your Excellency!"

"I'll do it right away."

They are pirates.

Pirates are not a kind profession, they must make these slaves understand awe!
