Wei Huo did not continue exploring after obtaining the two books. He waited in the ruins for a while, as he had decided to wait for the ruins to be refreshed.
Half a year later, the bronze gate was refreshed. This time, Wei Huo put on his bronze armor, picked up Tiamat with his left hand, and held a bronze sword in his other hand. He spent 15 days opening the gate.
Then, he entered the bottommost level of the ruins and killed the gigantic crocodiles that spawned. He arrived at the hall where the treasure chests were hidden and realized that the three treasure chests had been refreshed and the python was still there.
Wei Huo used the same method to kill the python, but the Epic-ranked Bittertide Hydra appeared again. Wei Huo scrunched his brow. His main purpose for coming down this time was to see if the Epic-ranked creature would respawn.
