Legend of the Elven Investigator

After walking through the dense forest and the rough mountain road, the group finally arrived at the purpose of this trip.

Looking down from a height, several modular temporary buildings are particularly conspicuous on the flat land between the peaks on both sides.With a raised flagpole as the core, a simple human settlement is formed.

Shinpei saw some humans in white uniforms walking back and forth in the gathering place, seeming to be busy with something.

"finally reached!"

"Thank God, I won't take on this kind of mission in the ravine next time, my feet are worn out."

Several trainers yelled rather coquettishly, and Leon also begged to be quiet and let these people rest in the camp for a while.

The camp was located on the outer edge of the ruins. The three of them found a relatively remote place and sat down. Just about to rest for a while, Xiao Chuan, who couldn't rest for a while, suddenly shouted in surprise: "Come and see this tree, this tree grows upside down!"

"Calm down, don't yell." Shinpei frowned slightly, and he was very dissatisfied with the other party's startled performance.

"this is……"

The tree that Ogawa found was located in an area in the center of the camp.Around it, a fence is already in place, apparently protected by researchers who have already been in place.

This tree is just a very ordinary arbor. What's more special is that the roots of this tree are stuck in a rock with a height of two people.

Its roots are deeply embedded in the rock, but its branches and leaves grow and extend toward the ground under the action of some force.

Normal vegetation, no matter where its root system is, its branches and leaves always grow upward.But this plant violated this rule.

Kaiya was also quite curious. She scanned the surrounding area with superpowers, but found nothing unexpected.

It's as if this tree is trying to grow underground under the influence of its own will.

"Come over and have a look. In fact, this tree is not an exception. There are many other vegetation that are like this."

After wandering around the camp, Shinpei found out that besides this, there are many abnormal plants.They have all been protected by fences to prevent random human touch.

When they came to the entrance of the ruins, they were about to continue walking in when a middle-aged man in a research uniform blocked the way.

"Everyone, please stop. The ruins ahead are still under development. We will notify you when we need them. Please cooperate with our work."

Although the middle-aged man's words were polite, it was obviously impossible to continue walking inside.

Just about to go back the same way, Kaiya suddenly noticed something moving under her feet, and she screamed subconsciously.

"It's gophers, a group of gophers, don't panic." In Zhenhei's eyes, a group of small gophers are moving soil and rocks quickly at a depth of about half a meter underground, which is why they create some movement on the surface.

"What the hell, why are there gophers down here?" Kaiya was obviously a little nervous, and would react greatly to small changes in the outside world.

"I guess it's probably to excavate the ruins here, and to clear the space, a large amount of soil in the mountain needs to be moved out." Shinpei speculated after a little thought.

According to what I see now, the real entrance of this ruin is located inside the hill next to it.

If you want to open up a wide enough road, you still need the help of elves like gophers who are good at digging holes.After all, in such a place, large-scale machinery and equipment cannot enter at all. Only the power of elves can save time to the greatest extent.

"This little brother is right. There are swarms of gophers digging inside, which is why it is a bit dangerous. There may be falling rocks or small-scale landslides at any time, so you are not allowed to go in."

The ear of the researcher who was standing aside moved slightly. Hearing Shinpei's guess, he couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing that the other party was willing to talk, Shinpei asked: "I would like to ask this researcher brother, I wonder if Dr. Ashley has come. I was entrusted by someone to assist Dr. Ashley's development work."

Although everyone came here to assist in their work, Shinpei came to work under the assignment of the Bureau of Investigation, and the other trainers came here after accepting the mission issued by the alliance at the Spirit Center.

Besides, given the quality of the group of people just now, Shinpei felt that staying with them might be even more dangerous.

"So you were found by Dr. Ashley. The doctor told her just now that if anyone is looking for her, let them in." The researcher suddenly realized, and continued, "Then you go in, the doctor is at the innermost."

So the reasons you stopped us just now were all made up?
Shinpei complained silently in his heart. Just now he said that there is a danger of landslides inside and no entry is allowed. Now he says that the big boss who is acting is actually inside.

He didn't bother to argue with the researcher anymore, he released the power in the poke ball to follow, and took the lead to walk in.

Seeing Shinpei walk in, Kaiya was slightly taken aback, then released a Gotha Duck, and went in together with Abby Lang from Xiaochuan.

After he really entered the tunnel leading to the ruins, he realized that it was ridiculously deep. Based on the walking distance, he might have gone deep into the mountainside.

"Is it true that this deep underground relic was discovered by accident? Could there be some hidden situation?" Zhenping was very vigilant and raised his vigilance. He smelled something wrong.

The tower-like Haoli walked in the front, and occasionally there were some rocky roadblocks blocking the way, all of which were cleaned up under the destruction of its sharp hand knife.

"My Gotha Duck can use superpowers to observe the environment. If there is danger, the Gotha Duck must be the first to discover it. Our safety is still guaranteed."

Although there are artificial light sources at intervals in the cave, the tunnel is too long.

The brightness inside is only enough to see clearly the two steps ahead.

Shinpei took out the head-mounted searchlight from his backpack, and the bright light reflected instantly in the cave, making it look much brighter.

But to Shinpei's surprise, after entering the cave, Xiao Chuan has been quite quiet, and his originally detached personality has been suppressed a lot.

"I, I'm a little claustrophobic. Don't worry, I can hold on." Along the way, Xiao Chuan stammered a little. Shinpei really didn't know that this guy had such a psychological problem.

It is true that some people will have bad negative emotions in a depressive and claustrophobic environment, but it should only be slight from the look of him.

"It should be in the front. The so-called entrance to the ruins may have penetrated the mountain and entered the ground." Shinpei guessed, and when he was thinking wildly, some abnormal noises suddenly came from the cave in front of him.

Gotha Duck also quickly used superpowers to figure out the situation ahead, and immediately gave an early warning.

The voice in front was getting louder and louder, Hao Li stepped forward unceremoniously, his two eyes shot out white sharp lights, piercing the darkness.

call!
Some fine stones splashed suddenly, and Haoli punched them, instantly turning these dangerous things into gravel.

"There are elves attacking us!" Xiao Chuan's voice seemed to be stuck in the neck, a little weak.

hum... hum...

In the chaotic sound, there were some strange buzzing sounds, which gave Mahira the feeling that there was a high-power mechanical device running inside.

What is this sound coming from?
Finally, as the sound grew louder, the real source was revealed.

"It turned out to be North-facing noses, or a group of North-facing noses!" Kaiya recognized the identities of these elves, and a group of North-facing noses with red magnet noses were rushing towards her and the others.

Under the illumination of the real-level searchlights, everyone finally saw the appearance of these north-facing noses clearly. The bodies of these rock elves are light blue-gray, showing a unique texture of rocks under the light. The most striking thing is their magnet noses.

A nose with a north-facing nose will always point north, so it is impossible to stick the faces together between the north-facing noses.

"It seems that we are blocking the way to the north nose. What should we do? Do we want to fight?" Kaiya threw the topic to Shinpei. Obviously, among the three of them, he is the real decision maker.
