38. Trespassing Adventurer
Thanks for the passing of the world - the reward of solo dance.

In the eastern corner of Gulu Ridge, there is a huge forest of dead woods.
This forest can be the most abyss-like natural landscape. It is a scene of dead branches and rotten trees all year round, lacking vitality, but they are indeed living things, but they are different from the nutrients drawn by ordinary trees. These are plants that absorb magic power as nutrients, and in some ways, they have been demonized.
It’s just that it takes a long time to evolve before having self-awareness. The tree spirit that can lift its roots and act independently only exists in the magical or deep mountains and forests.
But no matter what, there is indeed an extraordinary magic power in this forest, invading this forest, wild beasts, and other things.
The young vampire nobleman Ravenkes could sense the extraordinary magic power in this woods by just breathing. His profession is a magic swordsman, and he is proficient in blood magic and undead spells, so he could naturally feel the extraordinaryness of this woods.
It seems that the travelers who gave him information did not lie. There is indeed a certain ruin hidden in the woods.
But this was his idea, but it was not something that the two gangsters who were temporarily recruited by him could understand. In their opinion, this adventurous young master should have some family background and ability. In order to make a big profit from him, the two tall and short combination were preparing to lead this young master who was ignorant of the world to the traps in the forest to prevent wild beasts from crossing the line and attacking the town.
"Young Master, it's not far ahead." The short goblin winked at Gao Zhugan's companion, reminding the other party that he was about to get to the place and was ready to take action at any time.
"Um."
Lavenkes also became alert, and in his perception, the magic of this area became extremely rich.
This should have been impossible because they didn't actually go too far in this forest - it was impossible for the villagers to dig the trap too deep, which lost the effect of limiting the monsters.
Lavenkes knew very well that something else had changed the original appearance of this forest.
Just as the two hired gangsters were winking at each other and ready to launch a sneak attack, Ravenkes pinched his chin with his hands and said to himself: "Before this, there are still some small troubles to be solved."
He chanted the mantra almost at a rapid speed.
"Come out, the earth puppet!"
Two country buns stared behind him in a daze as a layer of gorgeous magic light array appeared under the feet of the vampire young man. Then the mound in front of their eyes suddenly bulged, and a giant appeared in front of them. Just the twenty-meter-high body was enough to make these two guys with ulterior motives evolve from shock to miserable.
What other traps are you asking? Now the entire ground is plowed by this earth giant within a hundred meters. No matter how big the pit is, it is filled with this thing. Two gangsters hugged one piece in fear. They just wanted to make this vampire young man unhappy. Now it seems that they are making trouble for themselves. No, this is already digging their own graves.
In the face of the overwhelming combat power of this mud puppet, two humble little people finally realized that some people would never be able to offend. And when they saw Ravenkes, the young vampire nobleman, turn to look at them with a complacent expression, the two had long abandoned their dignity and kneeled down with a thud.
Compared to your own life, face or something is not important.
Ravenkes was surprised: "Hey, why have you all kneeled down?"
The two gangsters looked at each other - Why, didn't this guy realize that he was trying to cheat him?
Hearing Ravenkes slammed his forehead, as if he had figured out something, and then he nodded again with a natural expression: "I can understand that country people like you must be scared by my dirt puppet, but there is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, the summoning spell I am really good at is the undead spell, but if I cast that spell, it will require the use of ‘material’. The level 3 elemental spell of the dirt puppet can only be used in the dirt place, which is very convenient. Although it is not very useful for combat, it is more than enough to eliminate these traps that prevent others from approaching."
The young vampire nobles automatically made up for the lack of knowledge between the two.
But this has the opposite effect—
What, isn't it very useful?
In the hearts of the two gangsters, this mud giant was a monster that filled the traps set by the hunters with one kick. If this was just ordinary, then Ravencais's strength would be too unfathomable. Although the two gangsters felt that this might be a bluff, they could not question, or did not question the other party's ability - after all, the mud giant summoned by Ravencais casually was enough to make them die no longer.
Now, two unlucky guys who are deeply in trouble are in a hurry to get out of their way to make money and die.
"Well, young master, we suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter to do - by the way, Ergou's wife is about to give birth, we have to go and help. You see, we have brought you here, the ruins are right in front, you can go there for the next journey."
Poor these little gangsters don’t know any remains. They don’t be able to sense the magic power scattered in the air like Ravenkes.
Lavenkes frowned. His lack of scheming does not mean that he is crazy. The other party's appearance is a lie joke that makes him feel that his IQ has been insulted. However, although he was unhappy that the other party took his money, he did not send him to the end. However, as the other party said, the remains were already in front of him.
It was a burden to let these mortals take risks with them, so the arrogant young man nodded, said "Okay", and walked forward alone with the dirt puppet he summoned.
Lavenkes did not walk very quickly. He knew that there were many traps nearby, so he let the dirt puppet explore the way for him first, and then pass after ensuring safety. The young master was not very good at dealing with people's hearts, but his skills were real. What was surprising was that after he stepped forward a few steps, he seemed to have passed through an invisible wall in the air and disappeared out of thin air.
Two gangsters who seemed to have witnessed a horror movie kept blinking.
Did you read it wrong? It's impossible. If that mud giant could read it wrong, it would be so blind. However, this mysterious thing cannot be clearly understood by two gangsters. They vaguely regarded the disappearance of Ravenkes and the dirt puppet as his own ability.
The two gangsters were completely scared. They didn't dare to stay here for a moment, and quickly ran back with their butts sticking out.
"Hey, it's so unlucky." The short goblin sighed. He thought he could catch a fat sheep today, but it turned out to be a wolf in sheepskin. If he hadn't been so clever, he would have given up his brothers' lives today.
Forget it, now I think money is not as important as my life. The short goblin just wants to go to the tavern to drink some wine to suppress his shock.
But before he could take off his steps, Gao Zhugan's figure suddenly fell down beside him. He was stunned. When he suddenly raised his head, a black sack had already been put on his head...

On the other hand, Raven Keith's adventure alone continues.
He has passed through the boundaries of ruins and the real world. In fact, this boundary cannot be felt by mortals, because if you don't take that step, the scene around you will be exactly the same as before, including those dead trees, vines and distant mountains. But when you take the step into the ruins, the scene around you will immediately change in vain. It is no longer the grayish white like the dead wood forest, but another shocking picture.
Ravenkes stood on a top of ten thousand feet, with a undulating sea of clouds under his feet, and the ancient giant dragon spread its wings and soared in the sky.
This is the ruins!
Lavenkes looked at the scene in front of him and swallowed his throat. He felt his heart tide uneasy, and the blood surging in his blood was burning his nerves.
He was not a veteran of adventure. In fact, in order to temper himself, he ignored his family's opposition and escaped from the strict family alone. He did not want to inherit any family business and became an old antique that paid attention to etiquette and regulations everywhere like his father. He knew that he was born to take risks.
And now, he is undoubtedly one step closer to his dream.
This is a ruin, an experience that many people cannot meet in their lifetime, pursuing projections from ancient times and treasures they have always dreamed of. Although he himself is not very interested in obtaining treasures, for Lavenketh, the most important thing is to enjoy the process!
He looked back at the dreamlike scene, and then focused his eyes on the front of him.
There is a door there.
After all, the ruins are not real things, they just embody ancient memories, so the dragons flying in the clouds will not really come to attack themselves, and the challenges that Lavenkes needs to face are behind this door.
Taking a deep breath, Ravenkes took a step forward. The dirt puppet could not pass the door. In fact, he knew very well that such a trick could only deal with ordinary people, or better than that, but it was still far from challenging the ruins.
His eyes became serious and he took out a jar from his bag.
Unlike elemental magic, undead magic requires materials, usually part of the corpse or soul as a medium. And this thing from Lavencais is very good - this was carefully prepared for this adventure.
He carefully placed the jar on the ground, then bit his fingers and drew a magic circle with his blood.
In fact, he is better at blood magic than undead magic. However, vampires will use their own blood to complete the ritual unless they encounter a particularly urgent situation, otherwise they will cause considerable harm to themselves - Raven Keith now regrets letting those two guys go.
But there was no regret in reality. After Lavenkes set up the magic circle, he began to recite obscure spells. A blood-red light appeared from the magic circle, reflecting his golden eyes red.
The next second, with a snap, a huge hammer popped out from behind and smashed the unprepared Ravenkes to the ground.
Chapter completed!
