When Ye Cangtian walked into the stone house, he immediately saw the familiar group of people.
And Xu Shian, who was pale and looked miserable!
"He's actually so badly injured?" Ye Cangtian examined the other person's wounds, and couldn't help but frown.
The entire abdomen seemed to have been pierced by something sharp, less than a centimeter from his heart. Clearly, the attacker had intended to kill.
The opponent was very strong, otherwise, with Xu Shian's strength, he wouldn't have been unable to resist at all.
It was indeed the Guangming Hall!
"Big brother, my dear brother-in-law, you must avenge me!" Xu Shian wailed.
"Shut up, you're not dead, why are you howling!" Shangguan Yun pouted.
"But I almost died!"
"You're not dead yet, are you?"
"Shangguan Yun, do you have any sympathy? I get it, you just watched them kill me, you want me dead?"
"Did your conscience get eaten by a dog!" Shangguan Yun couldn't help but curse when he heard that.
Damn it, you were the one charging the furthest at that time. When that Guangming Hall expert made his move, he was still some distance away from me, how could I have intervened?
Moreover, if I hadn't desperately carried you to this refuge, wouldn't you have been torn to shreds by the stone figures?
"Enough!"
Ye Cangtian raised his hand speechlessly to stop the two from arguing further, then took out a section of Undying Root from his pocket and threw it directly to Xu Shian.
The latter caught it and asked blankly, "What is this black thing?"
Shangguan Yun glanced at it and said, "Shanhaiteng, also known as Undying Root. A rare treasure medicine. Eat it, and your injuries will heal quickly."
He was indeed knowledgeable. After all, with the Shangguan family's power, although such treasure medicine was precious, they still had channels to obtain it.
It's just that even for his Shangguan family, it wasn't that easy.
Xu Shian, after hearing this, stuffed it directly into his mouth. The palm-sized Undying Root was swallowed in two bites.
Shangguan Yun frowned when he saw this and couldn't help but mutter, "What a waste. This thing is enough for several more servings. Such a precious treasure medicine worth two to three hundred million, and you just ate it in two bites?"
"Two to three hundred million?" Xu Shian's tiger eyes widened.
However, although he was surprised, he didn't really care. He just smacked his lips, savored the taste, and then muttered.
"It doesn't taste that great!"
"..." Shangguan Yun was speechless, then shrugged. It wasn't his stuff anyway.
Ye Cangtian naturally didn't care either. This thing was very precious to many people, but to him, it was just so-so.
After Xu Shian ate this thing, injuries that would normally take a month to heal would be cured in one to two days at most.
He just looked around and frowned slightly, "Where are the others?"
There were only twelve people in the entire room. Zhang Liang and his team were all there, plus Xu Shian and Shangguan Yun, and three other members of Mu Chenglong's team. But four people were missing.
At this time, a team member of Mu Chenglong replied, "Our captain and two other teammates are not here yet!"
Shangguan Yun's face also darkened, and he sighed, squatting on the ground.
"My Yanran is also not here. She and I didn't appear in the same area!"
Although everyone entered the ruins at the same time, unfortunately, they appeared in different areas. He had also searched for his sister everywhere, but the entire ruin was too vast, and there was no way to find her.
Ye Cangtian sighed and patted Shangguan Yun on the shoulder, unsure how to comfort him.
The only hope now was that Shangguan Yanran's area was safer, so if she could find a place to hide and wait for this ruin expedition to end, she would be out of danger.
Before leaving China, he had inquired about some matters regarding the ruins from Secretary Liu.
He also learned that as long as someone obtained the Heart of the Ruins, the entire ruin would disappear, and then people inside could leave safely.
"Where are the people from Guangming Hall?" Ye Cangtian asked after some thought.
"They are with the Tamu mercenary group and have already headed towards the city center half a day ago!" Zhang Liang explained.
Originally, the day before, after the two sides clashed, they were forced into a nearby stone house by a suddenly appearing stone figure patrol squad.
However, later, the Tamu mercenary group gradually began to move towards the center of the city, so they didn't know their exact location now.
Ye Cangtian nodded. It seemed that these guys were indeed ambitious. Many people were hiding in the stone houses, not even daring to go out, while these guys were slowly making their way into the city.
Zhang Liang looked at him and asked, "Should we also head into the city?"
Almost all the resources and treasures in the entire ruin were concentrated towards the city. This was why there were no resources in the wild except for fierce beasts.
At least in the city, if you were lucky, you could still find crystal stones.
"No rush!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, his lips curling, "Let them go and scout the way first, we'll get some resources!"
"You mean crystal stones?"
Zhang Liang took out four crystal stones from his pocket and said helplessly, "Most of the nearby streets have been scoured. After all, not every empty room has these things!"
Ye Cangtian pushed the door open a crack and looked outside, saying thoughtfully.
"Who said crystal stones can only be found inside houses?"
Everyone was stunned, somewhat confused.
...
A moment later!
In a stone house at the corner of the street, the door was slightly ajar.
At this moment, heavy footsteps were approaching from a distance. A patrol squad was patrolling the street.
In the house, Shangguan Yun swallowed and said nervously, "Are we really going to do this?"
"If not, how do we get crystal stones?"
Ye Cangtian replied as a matter of course, then asked, "Do you know how many patrol squads there are nearby?"
This is truly insane!
Shangguan Yun lightly exhaled. Besides nervousness, there was also a trace of inexplicable excitement. He explained, "There are three patrol squads near the plaza, and it seems there are three more patrol squads in the streets ahead."
"They are very close to here, and they will provide support immediately if an emergency occurs!"
If each patrol squad had sixteen stone figures, then six patrol squads would mean...
Ninety-six!
Shangguan Yun gave a wry smile. As expected, as long as you followed Brother Ye, you could experience any kind of thrill you wanted.
"They're here, prepare to act!" Ye Cangtian said softly.
The two quickly quieted down and remained still, staring at the patrol squad walking step by step outside the door.
At this moment, this patrol squad was entering this street. Each stone figure was almost identical, their footsteps were very uniform, spaced one meter apart, like robots, looking straight ahead without diverting their gaze.
However, as this stone figure patrol squad walked through the street and reached the corner.
Two sneaky figures emerged from the house and slowly approached the last stone figure in the patrol squad.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound was heard.
The stone figures walking in front heard the sound and subconsciously stopped. Then, they slowly turned their heads.
There was no one behind, and the sound seemed to have stopped abruptly.
This group of stone figures then continued their patrol forward, seemingly unaware that a member was missing from their ranks!
...
In the stone house, Ye Cangtian and Shangguan Yun held down the stone figure whose arms and legs had been removed.
When they heard the patrol squad had moved further away, the two raised their fists and smashed the stone figure, revealing a crystal-clear crystal stone.
"There is indeed a crystal stone!" Shangguan Yun's eyes lit up.
"Continue?" Ye Cangtian asked with a smile.
"Absolutely!"
The two seemed to have discovered a secret to wealth and continued to target the next patrol squad.
