Doomsday Code

Chapter 398: Ruins Rules

Silent all night.

In the early morning, the heavy rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped. Standing in front of the temple gate, you can see the big river rolling down the mountain.

Everyone packed up their tents and other belongings, ate their dry food, and gathered in the back hall.

At this time, the space portal was still standing there, but there was some chaos among the crowd.

"Oh no, someone sneaked in last night."

The ecstatic Monet shouted in the crowd.

His words quickly caused a commotion. The purpose of their visit this time was to enter the ruins and gain opportunities.

When the gate opened yesterday, many of them were impatient, but they did not leave the team because they were concerned about the dangers within the ruins.

Now that they heard that someone had taken the lead, these people could no longer suppress their restless hearts.

At this moment, they had completely forgotten the danger within the ruins.

The leader, Mo Duonik, frowned, then looked at the crowd behind him and said:

"If any of you want to leave the team, you can leave now, but I will not be responsible for your safety during the subsequent exploration."

Mo Donik's words calmed the restless hearts of many people, but some guys who thought highly of themselves believed that they were the chosen ones and thought that if they followed the main group, their opportunities would eventually be divided up by others.

In an instant, more than a dozen people walked out from the crowd.

And Mo Duonik did not stop these people. He just watched them pass through the space gate and disappear in front of him.

Then Mo Duonik looked at the crowd again and said:

"Anyone else wants to leave? If so, hurry up. Otherwise, if you encounter danger and disobey orders after entering the ruins, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Some people who were thinking of leaving suppressed their trembling after seeing that the eldest prince and the children of big families like Monet had not left.

Seeing that no one was thinking of leaving, Mo Duonik led everyone into the space portal in an orderly manner.

The space portal here is different from the space portal on the cliff where they came in before. They did not feel lost at all, but just felt dazed for a moment. Then everyone left the temple and appeared in a room.

Just behind Huidun and the others, the Rat King was also trying to step into the space gate with his people.

However, in the end, only the Rat King was not rejected and was teleported in, while his subordinates were blocked outside by an invisible wall.

The Rat King who entered the ruins felt his neck was a little tight, and Chen Cheng and the others looked at the Rat King with strange eyes.

The Rat King touched his neck, and then found that the beast ring he had put away was somehow now worn around his neck.

"Oh my god, Rat King, you have this hobby."

Monet winked at the Gopher King.

The Rat King took out the key to the beast ring and tried to unlock it.

But the next moment after he untied the beast ring, the originally pure white room suddenly turned scarlet, and a shrill alarm sounded throughout the room.

At this time, there came a burst of wailing and screaming sounds from the guys outside who had just left the team not long ago.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Chen Cheng put the beast ring back on the Rat King.

In an instant, the alarm in the room disappeared, and the scarlet color turned into pure white.

Without the interference of the alarm, everyone could hear the thumping sound of heavy objects stepping on the ground outside the room.

After waiting for a while and hearing the sound fade away, Chen Cheng and others dared to stick their heads out to look outside.

Outside, it was still the same pure white space as in this room, but on that pure white corridor there was now a trail of blood extending towards the distant corner.

Following the bloodstain was a huge bloody footprint.

At this moment, the entire space was eerily quiet, and no one in the room wanted to leave.

They all knew that the people who had just come in might have been killed by the unknown monster.

There are more than a dozen of them, and all of them have gold-level strength.

But there was no sign of resistance from them outside, and more than a dozen people died inexplicably.

Retreating back into the room, everyone no longer had the excitement they had before, and all had serious looks on their faces.

At this time, the Rat King was surrounded by everyone.

"Tell me, do you know anything? Why did you want to take off the beast ring? Did you deliberately attract the monster?"

Monet asked the Mole King in a serious tone.

The Rat King was also very nervous, he didn't know what was going on.

At this time, Chen Cheng bumped Monet with his shoulder and said:

"Don't do these useless things. The Rat King looks like he knows nothing.

Now we need to analyze everything that happened just now and find out the reason. Otherwise, if something goes wrong later, I believe most of us may have to feed the monster."

"Okay then. I'll go first."

Monet raised his hand.

“Based on the blood just now, it’s obvious that the person had just died, so we can rule out the possibility that they were the people who sneaked in last night.

So by comparison, we can know that entering through that space door will not trigger any danger."

Chen Cheng nodded.

At this time, Flinna also spoke:

“Nothing happened when the Rat King and we came in. At that time, I could still hear the people walking and talking outside, so the walking and talking sounds would not attract the monster.

What happened next was that the Rat King removed the beast ring, which triggered the alarm, followed by the wailing of those people outside.

So the danger is related to the beast ring of the Rat King, or the removal of the beast ring."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

At this time, the Rat King stammered a little. He was really afraid that these people would think he was a nuisance and then want to kill him here.

"Now that the answer is out, what are you waiting for? Get this beast out of here."

The eldest prince really holds a grudge. He has not forgotten that the Rat King asked the rats to treat him well.

But Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"inappropriate."

Then he asked:

"King Rat, why did you untie the beast ring? Didn't you put it on yourself?"

Chen Cheng already had a vague guess, but he was still not sure, so he wanted to ask the Rat King.

When the Rat King saw that Chen Cheng had finally hit the nail on the head, he quickly explained:

"I really don't know. I just passed through the space door and appeared here like you. I don't know why this beast ring is worn around my neck."

But no one believed what the Rat King said. How could the beast ring appear on his neck for no reason? Could it be that the beast ring has intelligence?

Stop talking nonsense.

As everyone looked at him with increasing distrust, Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"The Rat King might not have lied."
