Lin tian noticed everywhere was rubble.broken walls ,fallen rooms .
Amidst the rubble was opened entrances.
Lin tian also noticed other entrances .He was curious why others were not entering them .
No body was there to answer his questions.
Lin tian noticed Hua bo near one of the entrance .He was sitting on a chair and a table was placed in front of him .He was selling something.
Lin tian separated from the line and got near hua bo .Since everyone was entering as a group .it didn't matter if he was not in line .
"Greetings senior bo ."
"Oh you from previous night.you also want to buy tracking thread ."
"Huh no .but what is use of this tracking thread"
"You are not here to buy .Than step aside let me see others customers"
"There are no customers here .Please answer my question"
"This tracking thread is used to track individual.many newbies gets lost within the ruins.inside is network of corridors, chambers, and hidden passageways.it is very easy to get lost .with tracking thread a person can be found easily ."
"Ohh that's interesting "
"You like it do you want to buy .it's 2 gold coin for each thread .In the cities it can be sold for as much as 4 gold coins "
"Yeah .but can anyone track it .or Does we need to contact your treasure union to track the individual." Lin tian didn't believe the goodwill .
"Ofcourse you need to contact us . otherwise what is the use of us selling it cheap "
"So it is like this .But still this thread is useful ."Lin tian pondered .if he had money .He would definitely buy it .But now Elder qiang wasn't with him .And He had limited money .He had to think and spend money wisely .
"How long their power last "lintian asked .
Hua bo's expression turned sour upon hearing it .He hesitated to answer .but finally said .
"A one whole day that means 24 hours ."Hua to said .
Lin tian realised this thread was useless .a whole day wasn't much long time .If they couldn't find the person within a day .it would be a nothing but junk .
"That's useless "
"How can it be useless.you just don't realise its value "Hua bo
"I will give special offer to you .along with thread I will give this night stone to you for 3 gold coins only .it shines after every 12 hour period .it works as torch .It will be useful in the dark "Hua bo showed him a fist size White stone .
'isnt this also useless .when we can carry torches .why do we need to carry it .'
But he said "it's useful but not much.Can you tell me why are not others entering from those entrances ."
"Those entrances.Their passages are blocked with rubble .Some of them leads to dangerous areas that can not be handled by cultivators below core formation.Some are occupied by dangerous beasts. In short those entrances are not safe and easy to explore "
"Ohh wouldn't the chance of finding treasure within those passages be more ."
"That was indeed the case 100 years ago not anymore .Now they are just dangerous area without anything of valuable."
"Ohhh .Senior bo I want to buy the tracking thread Along with night stone ."lin tian tried to distract hua bo.
"5 gold coins also consider the information free .it is well known to everyone.only your group is unaware " Hua bo gave him. Grape size stone .The first size stone was just for show .
"Thanks senior"lin tian 'so there was no need to spend money 'He left after his curiosity was satisfied .
An hour later they finally entered the ruins .
Inside were so many rooms .big halls .No wonder a person can get lost .each room was connected with each other .The first thing they did after entering was to lit up torches .Inside was dark .
The stretched passages were long and connected with many paths .it didn't look like a normal castle.
Even though many forces had entered before them Nobody could be seen .
Just than one disciple stepped on hollow tile .A arrow flew past the disciple.
"Be careful there are traps " disciple shouted .
Lin tian and others looked back .
Lin tian noticed behind the disciple was wall .But how could that be .They were walking straight and had'nt taken any turn .Behind should be entrance and not wall .
"Where did the entrance go "he asked
Entrance only than others noticed .there was wall where should be entrance.
A disciple even went up to touch wall .
"It is indeed solid wall "
"We were walking straight.from where the wall came "
"maybe the wall moved ."
"What can walls even move "
"Maybe here they can "
"Than how can we return home "
Panic had started to spread within disciples.
"Don't panic .we just need to find others .And ask for entrance.somebody will have answer "
Lin tian
"That's right ."
"But can we find them .so many people entered before us .Where are they "
"Maybe it's dark we can't see them "
"You think others won't have torches .".
"Than maybe they are in room .even rooms here are big "
"But are they big enough to hide 30-50people "
"There is no need to think so much . remember our goal .we have to find treasures.where there are treasures there will be people."lin fang
"That's right stop the chatter and search also be careful of traps "lin suya .
Carefully they started exploring.one by one they searched rooms .
"Wait there are only 16 of us ."Lin tian noticed .
"Huh what "
"Where are others .where are they "
"They were just behind us "
"It can't be they got lost ."
"We have opened 9 rooms till now "lin fang
"9 rooms and 9 of us are missing ."
"That means we separated from one person per room "
"If we open the next room .will we lose another one of us "
"I want to return .I don't want to explore "
"Shut up . don't lose hope "lin fang
"This ruins are used as training grounds .they can't be this dangerous.others are likely alive let's find them "lin tian was also panicked inside .But even if other could lose hope .He couldn't.
"Lin fang you are the strongest have you not noticed something think about it "lin tian .
"Noticed I think I have whenever we enter new room .black smoke comes from the door ."lin fang
"Anything else " lin tian .
"Nothing "
"Than we can only test it out .let's open next room" lin tian.
"What .you aren't serious are you "
"Don't open next room "
"We have to know what happened if others are alive or not .Lin fang carefully observe "lin tian
Lin fang nodded .
Lin tian opened the room doors .And they entered.
"I saw .black smoke came out and now it's on that person "
"What it's on me .I don't want to die "
"I have grabbed him now .move out and open the doors again "lin tian
"What no don't leave "
"Lin fang follow the order "lin tian
Lin fang and others left and opened the doors again .However no one was inside .
"Dead they are dead "Disciples said
"Shut up .follow this rope .I have tied it to young master "lin fang
*******
After others closed the door .lin tian and the disciple were only left inside room .
some time passed .Lin tian noticed something wrong .
"Let's go outside "lin tian moved and pulled other disciple.
However other disciple was like statue he didn't move .Lin tian used his strength and managed to pull him to the door rooms.
But doors didn't move .
Than he pulled on the rope tied to him .But he felt no opposite force .He started pulling rope .very soon he got the end of rope .He was starting to worry .Than suddenly other disciple moved .
"Don't go .I don't want to be alone ."
"Where are they .where are others "
"They are outside no need to panic "
"We are going to die "Disciple cried out .
"I said don't panic "lin tian 'dont panic and I also won't panic '
Bum!
Doors opened in another side of the room .Lin fang and others entered .
"Room doors were here when we entered the room"lin tian
"We found you after searching 8 rooms Rope was completely useless .It's likely the room is rotating."lin fang
"He was standing without moving .just like a statue.he moved not long ago " lin tian
"We may have also been effected by black smoke "lin fang mused
"Others are fine I think .we just need to find them "Lin tian
Rotating rooms this was the first time they had seen something like this .If it were outside in light .it might have been site to have fun .
But here in unknown place with dark all over .it was giving them feeling of terror.
When they came out of room they unexpectedly encountered 2 lin disciples.
"Lin tian you left us behind.do you not care about us "
"We were afraid and alone .you don't deserve to be our leader"
"Shut up we didn't left you behind .you didn't follow us "lin fang
"What do you mean .we were just following behind when you all disappeared "
"This place is strange .The room here works on mechanism & rotates and you were effected by black smoke and stood like statue .you thought you were following us .but in fact your actions were delayed "lin fang
"Is this true"
"Lin fang can we believe you "
"Ofcourse.in fact we Thought you disappeared.Look there are 7 others missing .we have to find them also "lin fang
"They might be afraid too let's find them "lintian
After that they didn't dare enter any room .They also found 4 other Disciples.
Soon they heard sound of metal clinking .when they followed the sound .
They also saw their 3 missing disciples.They were fighting with someone on other side was 2 persons .
Seeing the people coming they stopped for a while . 3 lin disciples saw they were from lin clan .
"Lin fang help us we found a treasure .but this guys want to rob our treasure"
"It's you guys who are stealing our treasure .this was found by us .But you are taking number advantage to claim it "
"Lin fang don't waste time and beat them up "
"Young master what should I do "lin fang asked lin tian .
"Explain what happened here "lin tian asked
"We were looking for all of you when we saw this ring shining here "
"We inspected it and realized it's treasure that can store attacks .so we naturally took it "
"But these two suddenly came and said it was found by them "
"Don't listen to him brother .This treasure was found by us .Us two were inspecting the ring .when they attacked us from behind .That 3rd person got the chance to grab the treasure in mean time ."
"Young master are we really going to check.who is speaking truth or not . Don't you trust us disciples .we should just beat these two .This treasure naturally belongs to us "Lin fang
"Brother give us the treasure .it was found by us .We belongs to beetel shell force .you must have heard about it .when we return we will thank you "
"They are from "Beetle shell force " that's another reason to beat them "lin fang
Lin tian remembered beetel shell force didn't let them set up their camp . their things were thrown and he faced humiliation.
But other forces also did the same .so lin tian wouldn't begrudge one force alone .
Thinking something he said to lin fang.
"We have to know how to exit the ruins .also other important information for inside .And how to go to other floors "
"Leave it to me "lin fang
"Brothers we can't determine who is saying truth or not .but it is indeed true our side spent efforts to obtain it .How about provide us information of the ruins inside .like how to exit and enter the ruins .How to go to other floors .
And other areas .In return we will give this ring back to you "linfang
"But the treasure belongs to us "
"Wait we will talk it out"
Two from beetle force discussed something.
They said "As long as you can find lion imprinted wall and wait infront of it for a while .it will open up and exit will appear .as for entering there is no need to say ."
"For going to other floors you can find stairs or find a special room with Elephant pattern on it .it will shake and bring you to lower floors ."
"For going to other areas .it is easy just follow these green marble lines .and you will enter other areas of this ruins ".
"Why can't we see other forces that entered inside the ruins "lin fang
"Those who are familiar with the ruins .will directly go to the lower floors .Treasures there are more .as for weak cultivators like us .we can only look for treasures at the safest level ."
"As for not meeting other forces .these ruins are so big and in dark .it is possible to not encounter another .unless you are familiar with the floors "
With everything heard .lin tian said .
"Give them the ring ."lin tian
"What " 3 disciples were stunned.even lin fang was stunned . Wasn't they going to beat two of them after hearing everything .
"This ring belongs to us .we won't give them "
"We found this it belongs to us "
"Young master are you sure ."lin fang
"Yes lin fang help me give them the ring "lin tian
"Sorry brothers but young master told me to give them ring ."
"Lin fang don't come near us .why are you listening to that trash"
"Lin fang this ring is very valuable.you can't be serious"
Lin fang snatched ring easily and threw it disciples from' beetle shell force '
Even those two didn't believe they would get the ring .
"Are you really giving us this ring "
"Yes ."
"We will repay this favor "they said and separated from them .
"Young master .you didn't trust us "
"We also won't believe in you "
"From now on you are just stranger ordering us "
He had lost the little faith they had in lin tian as young master .
Lin fang was happy to see this situation.
