The early morning sun shines into the mountains and forests, and the lacquer carving Ling enters the world outside the wooden wall lightly, she has obtained a map from the tyrant Republic, although the tyrant Republic has been founded for more than a hundred years, and the whole island is not fully understood, but from the legacy of the ancestors and the exploration of hunting every year, there is also an incomplete map of the whole island.

Kong Chen has been entering this mountain forest for a day and a night, Qi Diaoling does not know his destination, it is too difficult to track, and according to the map, in addition to trees and rivers, this mountain forest has two targets, one is an ancient and tall ruins, and the other is a dilapidated wooden house village.

I don't know where to start, compared to the deserted village, it seems that the ruins are more like the place where Kong Chen will go. She flew over the trees, the ground was too dangerous, she had heard that the barbarians of the mountains and forests of the tyrant would set all kinds of traps in the mountains and forests to hunt their prey, and there were either deep pits with sharpened stakes on the way, rusty traps, or locks made of green vines in the mountains.

This mountain forest is full of trees, and it is not difficult to pass through it with the light body kung fu of lacquer carving, but further on, there is a cliff, and the trees on the other side of the cliff are not as dense as here, so I am afraid that I will have to go down and walk.

Slowly slowing down, Qi Diaoling faintly heard a roar in front of her, she took out an improved Yuanrong crossbow that could shoot continuously from the storage talisman, and fifteen short arrows could be placed in the crossbow box, and she hid her whereabouts close to the source of the sound.

It turned out to be a few barbarians dressed in animal skins and covered in filth. Qi Diaoling held his breath and hid behind a tree, and counted a little about the six or seven people at the scene with primitive weapons, standing there as if they were angry, humming and roaring in a low voice, these barbarians didn't even have their own language, they only relied on this to communicate.

There were four or five similar barbarians lying on the ground, with short arrows stuck in vital positions, as if they were the same type as the repeater in their own hands. Wait until a few of the deformed men roared and walked away with their weapons in their hands.

The lacquer carving Ling was sure that there was no danger, and jumped in front of the dead deformants, who had been dead for a while, and this short arrow was indeed the arrow of the lacquer carving man's crossbow. Normally, Kong Chen passed by here yesterday and killed them, which is the most logical calculation. But Qi Carving Ling was very skeptical.

If it was Kong Chen, his skill cultivation was equal to Lin Yue's, how could he be exposed in front of these four people? If Kong Chen deliberately killed these people, what was the point of that? Except for the arrow wounds, there was no other loss of corpses, and these people were wearing animal skins, where was there anything worth exposing Kong Chen's whereabouts?

With no clue for the time being, Qi Diaoling decided not to think about it anymore, the only thing that can be sure is that he has found a good direction.

After walking forward for a while, the lacquer carving Ling finally landed with confidence, this piece is all mountain rocks, the trees are not dense, and the field of vision is relatively open, so the possibility of traps is not high. Ahead is a cliff. A single tree is connected between the cliffs on both sides, and below is the rushing river, which leads to the ocean in the direction.

Qi Diaoling's balance ability naturally didn't say, and he walked over with three steps and two steps. Further on is a ruin, because it is too old, no one can tell whether this is a fortress or a temple, the only thing that is known is that the current strength of this deformed tribe will definitely not be able to build, and even the weapons in their hands are ground from stone and bone.

After running all morning, Qi Diaoling found a high ground, opened the storage charm and took out food, here is full of dangers, she does not dare to raise an open fire, but the ruins are far away, it looks like a pyramid from a distance, but it has collapsed most of it, the entire ruins are covered with vines and plants, and from time to time a few birds fly out of the ruins.

This kind of project is by no means something that a group of tribal savages can complete, although Qi Diaoling heard about the ruins of the mountains and forests, but after witnessing it for real, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, who is this, when was it built here? Could it be that Kong Chen's purpose is this?

The locals of the tyrant seem to have a deep fear of this place, and they are almost silent, and even the teams that come out to hunt every year have to go around here, preferring to sleep in the wild rather than spend the night in the ruins.

Lacquer carving Ling slowly approached the ruins, just in case, she did not intend to enter from the front, so she walked far behind, saw a loose place in a corner, took out the lacquer carving's unique tool, the Thousand Machine Shovel, and began to pry open the rock wall. There was a cloud of dust inside the ruins. Qi Diaoling picked up a wooden stick and rolled a piece of talisman paper around the head of the stick. With a finger swipe of the rune paper, the entire wooden stick lit up like a torch. This is a glorious charm, it is not aggressive, and it cannot subdue demons and exorcise ghosts, and its only function is to shine. I don't know what the situation is in the ruins, but Qi Diaoling didn't dare to start a fire.

Walking along the wall, you can see rubble and rubble everywhere, this ruin has long been dilapidated, there is nothing left, she climbed up a layer along the collapsed and crooked wall, there seems to be some colorful murals here, because of the age, it is impossible to distinguish the patterns on them, only a simple color difference indicates that there were patterns here.

Walking further on, there was a deep pit, emitting a foul smell, and the light on her hand could not shine below, and the lacquer carving feather lit up another charm, and threw it down, and landed with the light, only then did she see clearly that there were piles of flesh and bones below. A way must be found to get around the pit.

He nailed the rope to the opposite wall with a crossbow bolt, took out a pulley himself, and then swung through the pit several times to a path that was already very smooth in comparison.

Across the path is a platform, below which is a large room, which should be used for a long time, with a fire lit around the whole room, and a person lying down seems to be lying down. Qi Diaoling fell into the room, looking around at a large door, she tried, but could not open it at all.

Looking at the lying man again, he may be called a human, he is wearing a special armor, the orange armor protects several vital parts, mainly concentrated above the upper body, waist, calves and arms, and his head is wearing a full-coverage helmet, it is impossible to see who he is, and he is not even sure that he is a person.

And there was something next to the corpse that caught the attention of Qi Diaoling, this is not his own improved Yuanrong crossbow, but for some reason it was left here, and there was not a single arrow in the crossbow box. It stands to reason that even in the face of a powerful master, it is impossible for a person with a Yuanrong crossbow to go without firing a single arrow. Could it be that this was left by Kong Chen? Qi Diaoling shook his head and felt that it was impossible. If Kong Chen really wanted this person to die, he wouldn't be so troublesome, and he left a lot of evidence and flaws.

Thinking of this, Qi Diaoling briefly inspected the orange-clad person.

The atrium of the chest was hit by gravity, spreading and shattering in the form of a spider web, and the head armor of this person was taken off, but only an extremely ordinary face was seen, and it seemed that it was a person from the Great Zhou. But such a common appearance made Qi Diaoling puzzled, when did the tyrant have such a normal man?

Unable to think of it left and right, and having no clue, Qi Diaoling decided not to check this place for now and continue to explore the ruins. She chose another path to leave, there are also murals on the wall here, which are relatively intact, but Qi Diaoling does not understand the content of the picture, such as a figure standing on a disc that seems to be a disc, and there are many people looking at it below, or a person lying flat on a stone bed, and another person behind him seems to be saying something with his arms outstretched. There were many strange humanoid monsters, some with cat heads. Some have a dog's head, and the appearance of other beast heads and human bodies is unknown.

Not to mention other animals, there are many kobolds across the sea from the tyrants, and the people there have a doghead. It is also brutal by nature, specializing in attacking the merchant ships and city-states of the Sea of the Two Moons. According to this picture, the Dog Republic and the Tyrant Republic were connected hundreds of years or even farther ago? Now I only see the kobold of the Dog Republic, but the others are gone, what is going on?

Qi Diaoling bent forward and continued to explore, walked through a few paths, turned over a few collapsed dirt slopes, she saw the sunlight again, has walked out of the ruins, now she is on a platform in the ruins, she saw that there is no way to jump out of the platform and grasp the eaves little by little to convert to the other side of the ruins, down the collapsed place, is a small high platform, below is the main entrance of the ruins, and from not far away came a sound, Qi Diaoling immediately held her breath, silently listening to the footsteps.

Several figures appeared in the clearing outside the ruins, all wearing orange armor like the dead bodies in the ruins, and their faces were covered. There are a total of eight people who came, and the last six are dressed in the same way, and the corpses in the same way are the same, which seems to be a standard costume. And except for the short sword behind them, everyone was holding an improved Yuanrong crossbow in their hands, and the lacquer carving Ling frowned, how could they all have the Yuanrong crossbow? Could it be that someone from the lacquer carving family provided them with weapons here? So it seems that those tyrant deformed people who were shot were not Kong Chen's hands.

If the last few of the eight people are considered to be miscellaneous soldiers, then the first two should be the leaders, not only the form of the armor is much more complicated, the body is covered with more armor, and even the color of the armor is more diverse, in addition to the orange background, one is a purple pattern, and the other is a green style.

Judging from the figures, the two leaders were a man and a woman, and an orange armor soldier saw a corpse on the road and immediately said, "Lord Leng Xiao, Lord Crescent, it's our people!"

A few people went over, and sure enough, they saw the bodies of the two orange armor soldiers, and the leading man said, "Xinyue, what do you think?"

The woman named Crescent Moon said, "It's not like those barbarians did it, we have a total of four people left here, what about the other two?"

Leng Xiao said to a few orange armor soldiers, "You guys search around and find the other two." ”

"Yes. "Four of the six were scattered, and the other two were on standby. Cold Owl and Crescent continued to observe the corpse.
