When people or animals pass through the quicksand area and create pressure that exceeds a certain critical point, the quicksand will quickly liquefy, just like sinking into a thick paste. The more you lose your cool and struggle, the deeper you sink and the stronger it becomes.

This is the principle of quicksand.

Logically speaking, the gerbil should be in the quicksand pit below.

But in Kurosawa's perception, as soon as it was swallowed up, it suddenly disappeared not long after.

It's like it never existed.

After Kurosawa patiently sensed it for a long time, he guessed that the bottom of the quicksand led to a strange subspace.

It's just that this subspace is more secretive than the two subspaces he has been to before, as if covered with a thick layer of linen, isolating his spiritual perception.

He floated in the air and thought for a moment.

Then he winked at the two little ones holding him.

The height of the body slowly decreased.

The shoes sank into the soft sand without any resistance, followed by the ankles and calves.

It wasn't until he reached a certain depth that he finally felt a light attraction.

Kurosawa mobilized his spiritual energy and followed the inhalation feeling like being swallowed by a vortex without any resistance.

Soon he and the two little bodies became hazy.

The next moment, his eyes were shrouded in darkness.

The familiar pulling feeling came from all over his body.

"call--"

Open your eyes again.

In the dark space, several shadowy torches hung on the walls, projecting dark firelight.

Another ruins space?

Subspace can be roughly divided into two categories. One is a natural space, similar to subspace No. A18 where Kurosawa performed his first professional-level mission.

The second type is a space with obvious signs of civilization, also called a relic space.

The ruins space is more mysterious than ordinary subspace.

Suddenly, Kurosawa, who was looking at the ancient textures on the wall, frowned.

He vaguely felt energy fluctuations from the depths of the channel.

However, since there were only torches on the wall at the entrance, the passage was very dark.

He couldn't clearly see the scene inside.

Besides yourself, are there other people or elves?

Kurosawa secretly became wary.

He raised his finger in front of his mouth and signaled to the two elves.

Nightmare and Little Shining understood what he meant and nodded.

Kurosawa lowered his pace and walked cautiously towards the passage.

Of course there is no danger in leaving the ruins space now.

But the huge gains he made in the ruins space near Black Mountain last time made him reluctant to leave so simply.

At least we should look at the specific situation inside before deciding on the next step.

Kurosawa took every step with great effort, his footsteps were very light and there was almost no sound.

The passage was not long, and soon Kurosawa reached the end.

A magnifying space appeared in front of him.

He did not step out of the passage, carefully hiding in the darkness and watching the situation inside.

The ancient patterns on the wall outside exude blue fluorescence.

Compared with the ordinary dim textures, those fluorescent textures seem to contain some kind of strange energy.

The texture energy in various parts of the wall continues to flow, and finally gathers together in the center.

It is different from the high platform where the elf eggs were stored in the center of the ruins last time.

In the center is a circular altar.

The top wall of the circular altar is carved with complex ancient textures.

The complexity of the pattern is the most that Kurosawa has ever seen.

On the steps of the altar stood a man in gray robes.

At the feet of the gray-robed man, a worm-shaped elf with stinging hair was piercing an elf with its tentacles.

That elf was the entry-level gerbil that disappeared from Kurosawa's sight before.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the gerbil is shrinking and shriveling up, blood is being extracted from the whole body, and the red liquid is soaking in the tentacles that pierce the gerbil.

After it is completely absorbed, it throws away the dried gerbil.

In the distance, many dried corpses were scattered randomly.

Obviously, before this, there were unlucky little creatures like gerbils that fell into the quicksand.

Kurosawa looked at the strange-looking elf that stood with several pairs of long legs and two rows of slender spikes on its back.

In order to avoid making any noise, he did not take out his smartphone for identification.

Just recalling the memory of reading the Elf Manual from my mind.

Weird insect sprite.

So ugly.

Kurosawa commented silently.

His brows furrowed even more tightly.

The creepy appearance of that grotesque insect was not the reason for his frown.

After all, the appearance of elves is determined by their race.

But it can so casually take the life of a non-threatening elf, revealing its cruel and cold-blooded character.

He stared at the grotesque bug for a moment, then moved from it to the man in gray robe.

The character and behavior of an elf are consistent with its elf master to some extent.

When most elves are engraved with the Elf Contract, they are in the elf egg or cub stage, just like a blank piece of paper.

It can be said that their entire growth experience was witnessed by the elf master, and they were deeply influenced by the elf master.

The vicious and cruel character of the grotesque bug is obviously inseparable from the owner around it.

Ordinary elf masters like Kurosawa, even if they are attacked by elves in the wild, they will try their best to save their lives within the allowable range.

Not many elves died at Kurosawa's hands.

Or it was an extremely violent and vengeful beast, like the cold spider. He was worried that letting the beast return to the mountains would cause disaster.

Either the little Shining couldn't control the intensity, like the storm water monkey, who fell into the thunder and lightning of the little Shining who couldn't fully control it when using the thunder gun for the first time.

Reducing the number of killing wild elves means reducing the risk of backlash to the elf masters.

To put it simply, those who are not addicted to killing elves are not necessarily good people, but those who are addicted to killing elves must have something wrong with them.

Kurosawa wanted to quit.

Although he is a little curious about this ruin space, he is a cautious person.

In his perception, although the energy of that weird insect was well contained, it still had a strong aura.

He is planning to leave the ruins space first.

Slowing down his pace, he did not turn around, facing the grotesque insect and the man in gray in the shadow, and slowly walked backwards and away.

"Hiss."

Kurosawa, who was watching the man in gray slowly retreating, was suddenly startled and felt like a light on his back.

Behind him, from the passage where he came, there was a hissing sound.

It was as if he was being stared at by something!

But on the way here, he obviously didn't feel anything.
