"Not good!"
Looking at the two metal walls blocking the front and back of the tunnel, Gray, Sophia, and the other three turned pale. They launched their attacks at the metal wall in front of them.
Clang!
Gray's magic sword, which was wrapped in lightning, struck the metal wall. The surface of the metal wall flickered with lightning, but when the lightning dissipated, Gray's magic sword only left a shallow scratch on the wall.
Clang, clang, clang!
The attacks of the purple-haired girl Sophia and the other three were the same. They only left shallow scratches on the metal wall.
"What a hard metal!"
Gray's face darkened. With his current strength, coupled with the power of the magic sword, he could even break a steel pillar.
But only a shallow scratch was left on the metal wall. It could be seen that the metal used for the metal wall was very strong.
Now that even the path behind them had been cut off, there was no way they could retreat even if they wanted to.
"Miss, what do we do now?"
The purple-haired girl Sophia and the other three's faces also darkened. The girl in red said worriedly.
"Try the walls on both sides."
The purple-haired girl Sophia frowned and said.
The brown-bearded man, Teresa, the girl in red, and the girl in orange hurriedly used their weapons to attack the wall on the side. Gray also tried to attack the wall on the side.
Poof!
With their attacks, the stone wall was broken, and large pieces of stone fell down.
But their faces became more and more unsightly. Because after the stone fell, there was also a metal wall behind them.
In the end, they tried the walls on both sides, above them, and on the ground. They found that there were also metal walls in all four places. They were completely sealed in this tunnel.
"We're trapped to death!"
Gray frowned. He was thinking about the possibility of summoning the bloodbeasts into the ruins and destroying this mechanism from outside the tunnel.
"Sir Gray."
At this moment, the purple-haired girl Sophia walked over from behind Gray and greeted him. Gray turned around and looked at her in confusion.
"I have a way to destroy this mechanism, but I'll have to pay a high price."
The purple-haired girl Sophia said in response to Gray's gaze.
"What do you want?"
Gray raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I want to pick one item first."
The purple-haired girl Sophia narrowed her eyes. Those narrowed eyes were slightly upturned, making her look like a cunning fox.
Gray instinctively kept his guard up. He frowned and thought for a moment before he finally said helplessly.
"Sure."
Although he had thought of summoning the nine bloodbeasts into the tunnel and destroying the mechanism from the outside, he wasn't confident that it would work.
If the other party really had the ability to destroy this mechanism, it wasn't impossible for him to let the other party choose one item first. After all, if he couldn't destroy this mechanism today, no matter how many items he had, it would be useless.
"Then I'll begin!"
The purple-haired girl Sophia's lips curled. She turned around and walked to the metal wall. She took out a crystal bottle that contained a black liquid.
She uncorked the crystal bottle and tilted it slightly, allowing the black liquid to flow out. She then drew a semicircle on the metal wall.
Creak creak!
As the black liquid came into contact with the metal wall, a drastic change occurred.
The metal wall that came into contact with the black liquid bubbled and quickly melted like ice.
Finally, a semicircle appeared. With a light kick, a semicircle large enough for a person to pass through appeared.
"What a strong corrosive effect!"
Seeing this scene, Gray was inwardly shocked.
He had tested the sturdiness of the metal wall, but such a sturdy metal wall was easily corroded.
The corrosive effect of this black liquid was evident. Gray felt that even the aqua regia from his previous life was not as corrosive as this black liquid.
Half-squatting through the gap, the five of them walked into a huge room.
In the room, there was a pile of glittering gold coins. The amount was even more than what Gray had found in the Imperial Ruins in the Red Leaf Forest.
In addition, there was a wooden cabinet.
Gray came to the wooden cabinet and opened it. His eyes suddenly lit up.
There were purple-black things in front of him. They were magic coins, densely packed and piled up in the entire chest.
Unlike gold coins, magic coins were extremely valuable in themselves. There was no need to worry about forgery, so there was no mark on it.
In other words, this chest of magic coins could be used directly.
"There are probably more than ten thousand."
Gray estimated after glancing at the height of the chest.
Ten thousand magic coins were equivalent to one million gold coins. This was undoubtedly a huge fortune.
He then looked at the other parts of the room. There was nothing else. Obviously, this room should be where gold coins, magic coins, and other valuables were stored.
"Sir Gray, according to our agreement, I'll choose first!"
The purple-haired girl, Sophia, walked over and said with a smile.
Hearing her words, Gray's heart suddenly thumped and his expression turned ugly.
There were two things in the room, a pile of gold coins and a chest of magic coins.
Among them, the most valuable should be the pile of gold coins. Even if sold as gold, it would definitely be worth millions.
The second was the magic coins.
However, there was a problem. How would he transport the gold coins? Even if he used all nine blood fiends to transport them, he would not be able to take away much gold coins.
So, to be honest, magic coins were the ones that benefited the most after making the choice.
If nothing went wrong, the other party would most likely choose the magic coins. As for him, he would be guarding a pile of gold coins that he could not take away.
Seeing Gray's ugly expression, the purple-haired girl, Sophia, smiled even more brightly.
"I choose …"
Speaking of this, she deliberately paused.
"This pile of gold coins!"
"Uh …?"
Gray could not help but look at her in astonishment. She actually chose the pile of gold coins that she could not take away?
Facing Gray's surprised gaze, the purple-haired girl, Sophia, smiled slightly and walked straight to the pile of gold coins.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Gray's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The purple-haired girl, Sophia, walked to the pile of gold coins and took out a leather bag with many golden patterns from her waist. She opened it and approached the pile of gold coins.
Then … the pile of gold coins, which was more than the pile of gold coins in the Red Leaf Forest ruins, suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been there.
"Rune Portal Bag …!"
There was no doubt that it could only be a Rune Portal Bag that could make such a large amount of gold coins disappear all of a sudden.
Moreover, the size of this Rune Portal Bag was not small, at least more than ten cubic meters. After all, the pile of gold coins was not small.
"You actually have a Rune Portal Bag!"
Gray looked at the purple-haired girl, Sophia, with great surprise in his eyes.
The family behind the purple-haired girl, Sophia, was probably more powerful than he had imagined. She even had something like a Portal Bag.
"However, among the Third Duke and Seventh Marquis family of the Purple Moon Kingdom, there is no family with the surname Pendela. It seems that the surname that she gave when she introduced herself earlier was fake."
Gray secretly guessed in his heart.
After exploring the secret room, the five of them continued to explore other places in the ruins, but they did not find anything else.
It was close to evening, but the five of them did not leave. Instead, they set up a tent in an open space in the ruins and prepared to spend the night there.
"Then, shall we start copying each other's blood techniques now?"
The man with the brown beard was patrolling the surroundings, while the woman in red and the woman in orange were preparing dinner. Sophia looked at Gray with a smile on her face.
"Okay."
Gray nodded.
He was in a good mood. Although he did not earn as much as the purple-haired girl, he had no choice. With such a pile of gold coins, without a Rune Portal Bag, he would not be able to carry much. Even if he had to choose first, he would definitely choose magic coins.
Gray handed over the Herculean Bull Sequence's blood techniques. Instead, he received three small volumes of the Wind Wolf Sequence's blood techniques.
Picking up the blood technique book, Gray carefully flipped through it. After confirming that it was the Wind Wolf Sequence's blood technique book, he started copying the Barbarian level blood technique book with the pen and paper provided by Sophia.
A few days later, in the forest near Azure Sieve Town.
Gray, Sophia, and the other two appeared here. Because they had to copy the blood technique book, Gray traveled with them. The nine blood fiends were under his control, following them from a distance.
