He was only in the middle stage of nine stars. He would be in grave danger if he really entered. However, if he chose not to enter, he would miss the many treasures in the ancient ruin. Every ancient ruin was full of treasures, some even containing A-grade enchanted treasures and holy artifacts. Even without such things, entering an ancient ruin would bring great rewards. After thinking for a long time, Philip said to the big roc under him, “Big Roc, an ancient ruin is a chance that can’t be missed. I don’t want to miss this opportunity even if there’s danger inside. I have you by my side, right? Let’s go in and have a look.” Now that Philip had made up his mind, the big roc flew in the direction by following its senses without further ado. Soon, the big roc stopped and landed on the ground with Philip. “This is the entrance to the ancient ruin. Kiddo, I have to remind you to watch out once you enter the ancient ruin! Don’t lose yourself to your greed or you’ll be done for.” Hearing the big roc’s warning, Philip nodded vigorously and replied, “Don’t worry, Big Roc. I’ll take care of myself. Safety first!” Satisfied with Philip’s answer, the big roc nodded as a signal that he could go in. It was the first time Philip heard of an ancient ruin with a cloaking device. Standing at the entrance of the ancient ruin, he was very excited. As soon as he stepped into the ancient ruin, he was surrounded by endless darkness, so much so that he could not see his fingers.
Seeing this, Philip immediately took out a jade from the ring. With the light from the jade, Philip saw the scene in front of him clearly. Not far in front of him were two stone pillars with carved patterns. He looked at the patterns carefully and was stunned for a moment. As if the patterns came alive, everything there appeared in front of Philip, slowly approaching him. He did not try to escape but just stood there in a trance as if waiting for those things to approach. At this moment, a burst of energy zoomed out from Verge Tower and hit Philip on his forehead. Buzz! A muffled noise woke Philip from his trance. Shaking his head, Philip suddenly noticed that a blood-red burst of energy was shooting toward him at high speed. Seeing this, Philip quickly mobilized his energy to block the attack. “Phew, that was close. If I had woken up a tad slower just now, the attack would have hit me.” At this moment, the big roc’s voice came from Verge Tower. “You need to be more careful. I could help you this time, but there seems to be an energy in this ancient ruin that isolates my senses from the outside world. If you’re in danger again, I may not be able to help you in time.” Philip finally realized that it was the big roc who saved him just now.”
