Chapter 615 Gathering (2)

After these rods came out of the ground, chains that were made of light were revealed.

These chains were connected to the rods and in the center of the chains was a much larger chain that had completely surrounded the tree.

With a roar from the experts, they suddenly raised their life energy again.

In response to this, the chains that had surrounded the rods in the ground suddenly started to dissipate before completely disappearing.

From the rod, the chain that was connected to the tree dissipated until the chain around the tree was completely gone.

Once the chain around the tree disappeared, there was a glow that appeared in the center of the tree. This glow wasn't that strong, but it slowly spread across the trunk of the tree until it formed a circle of light that had a fainter hue of light rippling in the center.

No matter how one looked at it, this seemed to be a portal.

As for what it was a portal to, it couldn't be more clear to everyone since it was the reason why they had all gathered here today.

After the portal appeared, Lei Feng said, "The Ancient Era Ruins are now open. All those that have a token, please step forward and enter the portal."

Then without caring about anyone else, Lei Feng waved his hand and led his group from the Thunder Sect into the portal. Following right behind him was Shi Yi and the group from the True Spirit Sect.

Once their two groups had gone in, there was only a brief moment of silence before the other groups charged forward to get into the ruins as soon as possible. But it wasn't all the groups that charged forward, Lin Fan's group from the Hunters Organization stood there waiting for the rest of the people to go through.

One of the people who weren't as close to Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Young master Lin, shouldn't we be heading in as well? If we wait any longer, all the treasures will be taken by other people."

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "There's never anything good for the people who go in first."

That person didn't give up as they said, "That's normally the case, but even the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect went in already. There shouldn't be a problem with these ruins."

Lin Fan shook his head again and said with a sigh, "You're thinking is too shallow. Maybe that would work in another situation, but this is a situation where they control all the cards."

When that person heard this, he couldn't help knitting his brows as he asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Fan slowly explained, "They've had control over these ruins for so long, do you really think that they haven't explored it before? Even if there are leaks and people have maps of parts of the ruins, does that mean that everything has been leaked? It's not that hard for them to hide information if they really wanted to."

The person suddenly realized something as they said, "You mean that it's a trap?"

Lin Fan didn't directly answer the question as he said, "They should have had time to find a place to hide, shouldn't they?"

That person couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, but he no longer refuted Lin Fan's words since he realized that what Lin Fan said was completely reasonable. It was so reasonable that he even believed that this was what was happening on the other side…

So their group just waited there until most of the other groups had gone.

There were also another group that wasn't in a rush to head in, which was the Myriad Sword Hall and the Ice Goddess Palace group.

Wang Jian had the same feeling as Lin Fan, so he didn't lead their group into the portal right away.

However, as the crowd of people were going in, there was someone who had just touched the portal when there was s sudden flare of energy that came from it.

Before that person could even react, there was a sudden explosion of light from that portal before the powerful energy that was gathered suddenly shot out. That person couldn't even react in time as that energy hit them head on, sending them flying before crashing right into the ground.

It was clear by the way his limbs were pointing that this person didn't get off lightly, but at the very least, this person was still alive.

Everyone was shocked by this and turned to look at the people from the Thunder Sect who were standing on the side, overlooking this process.

The person who was clearly the leader of the group from the Thunder Sect came forward, walking over to that person before shaking his head and saying, "It seems like these rats really don't know their place. We already told everyone that you need an Ancient Era Ruins token to enter and they think that could just sneak in? This is what you deserve."

Without even bothering helping that person, the person from the Thunder Sect went back to their group.

None of the other groups cared about this person because this person wasn't someone from the twelve great factions. This person was nothing more than someone from a small family who thought that he could sneak in among the crowd, but he had been taught a painful lesson in the end.

After this incident happened, there were quite a few people who had been in the crowd who silently walked out of the crowd.

It was clear that many people had the same ideas, but they were now grateful that this person had taken the opportunity to set an example for them.

It didn't take long before the rest of the groups had entered the portal and there were only Lin Fan and Wang Jian's groups left.

Of course, neither of them could wait too long since it would seem too suspicious, so after a few minutes, Wang Jian's group was the first to enter the portal.

As for Lin Fan's group, Lin Fan just kept looking at his watch as if he was calculating the time.

On the side, the group from the Thunder Sect was glaring at them.

To them, it was clear that this group from the Hunters Organization was looking down on them, not giving them any face. After all, what they were doing right now was just blatantly accusing them of having ulterior motives.

Finally, after half an hour, Lin Fan finally made his move as he led his group into the portal.

As the other groups watched them head in, there were some that were watching the Thunder Sect group to see if they would do anything to them.

Of course, the Thunder Sect group didn't do anything because they knew that it would hurt their reputation to make a move against Lin Fan's group now. Not to mention that there was indeed a trap set up for them in the ruins, so they would just let the trap take care of them.

Without any incident, Lin Fan's group walked right through the portal.

When they appeared on the other side, Lin Fan found that he had been sent to a corresponding portal on a pedestal on the other side, but to his surprise, he was all alone. Looking around, he couldn't see a single trace of anyone else he came in with.

When he was about to ponder his next move, he suddenly heard a sound come from the forest beside him.

It was a human voice, but it was one that was filled with panic and pain as it shouted, "Help me! Someone help me!"

Lin Fan immediately knitted his brows, but he didn't panic since he had been expecting this. It was just that he had thought that he had spent enough time for all the traps to be triggered by the other people that came in first, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case.

Still, Lin Fan didn't knit his brows because he was worried about himself. Rather, he was more worried about the people who had come with him.

He wasn't worried for himself because he had something that the others didn't.

As Lin Fan was thinking about what to do, Brainy appeared in his sleeve.

Then after Brainy appeared, there were many different smaller animals that appeared around Lin Fan. They only stayed near him for a few seconds like they were receiving orders before suddenly running off in different directions.

Lin Fan didn't mind any of that as he began looking around himself, trying to figure out where this was based on the partial map that he had seen back in the beast carriage, but it was hard to figure this out just based on the surrounding area alone. After all, unless he looked at it from above, he wouldn't know what the lay of the land looked like.

So after a minute of looking around, he gave up and jumped off the pedestal that he was on before heading into the forest.

Of course, he moved in the exact opposite direction that the voice came from.

This place followed the law of the jungle and everyone only cared about themselves, so no one would have the time to rescue others.

Not to mention that it wasn't certain that he would be able to rescue that person since he didn't know what that person was facing. So in the end, the only thing he did was send Brainy's scouts over to see what the threat was so he knew how to avoid it later on.
