Volume 4 Chapter 2 The Ruins of the City of Destruction
Wulian is the third, entering the teleportation array, after five or six breaths of darkness and dizziness, the soles of his feet have a soft touch, it is sand, his eyes are bright, the dim yellow sky, the sunset is blood red, hanging on the horizon, the entire city of destruction, shrouded in a dark yellow.
Luo Sheng and Miao Xiaodao were more than ten meters in front, squatting under two half-section earth walls, the landing point of this teleportation array was outside the city of destruction, Wu Lian looked at it, and the place where he entered the eyes was full of ruins and broken walls, saying that it was the city of destruction, it was better to say that it was the ruins of the city, and it was more direct. In the dim color, some high-rise buildings that have not yet collapsed stand lonely in the distance.
Ye Ya and Lingling appeared one after another, squatted down when they landed, and moved closer to the low wall, as soon as Ye Ya leaned against the wall, adjusted slightly, opened the pet bag, and released Min Zhen, Min Zhen flapped his wings, and disappeared into the air in an instant.
"It's a bit like that place...... Ye Ya looked at the whitish sand, hurriedly took out the wine in the gold coin bag, opened it and smelled it, it was still fragrant, it had not deteriorated, and he took a sip with satisfaction.
Wu Lian nodded: "Well, there is no wind...... If you can't get it, it's another ancient fantasy, Brother Miao, let the knife pay attention to concealment. ”
Miao Xiaodao turned around and made a reassuring gesture, he was the second to arrive here, and after he also landed, he released the knife and entered the ruins of the city to probe the information.
Miao Xiaodao and Luo Sheng were in front, and the other three followed, hiding their figures, and slowly approaching the center of the city.
In the ruins of the city, there was a dead silence, no sound, only the rustling of their own footsteps could be heard, this was still the edge of the city, the houses had almost completely collapsed, and most of the walls, less than a meter high, stood alone in the yellow sand.
Under the corner of the wall, you can occasionally see low cacti, walking seven or eight miles, and I haven't seen anything more than half a meter high, it seems that the environment here is more desolate than the one I went to before, the ruins of Arthurine, the capital of the empire buried in history.
However, the further you go to the center of the city's ruins, the higher the height of the broken wall, and even the beginning has begun, and there are complete houses appearing.
The news of the knife detection continued to reach the team, and in the ruins of this huge city, in addition to them, there were three other teams of men, stationed in the center and northwest of the ruins.
The setting sun has completely set below the horizon, leaving only a little light.
Since they were not the only ones here, it was not appropriate to move that night, so a few people found a fairly complete room and went in to rest.
The landing point of the magic sword teleportation was in the southeast of the ruins, and when I walked here, it happened to form a straight line with the camp of the other three teams, located in the southeast corner of the periphery of the center.
After a while, Min Zhen's news also came back to the team, she flew out of the northeast direction for about two hundred miles, east and north, there was an endless sea of sand, at this moment, she had turned back, ready to return to the team, take a short rest, and then explore to the southwest.
Early the next morning, Wu Lian opened her eyes and saw Ye Ya sitting by the door, his eyes closed, his legs on his knees, resting his hand-drawn map.
Wu Lian moved and climbed up, Ye Ya immediately opened his eyes and asked, "Awake?"
"Hmm......" Wu Lian walked up to him and sat down, Ling Ling was still sitting in the corner with his eyes closed, and Luo Sheng and Miao Xiaodao, both of whom had gone, asked, "How is it?"
Ye Ya handed the map to Wulian and pointed it to Wulian: "There are three sides, east, west, and north, all of which are deserts, and in the southwest, there is the sea, and I specially let Min Zhen follow the sea."
The shoreline flew for two hours, I originally wanted to see if there were islands on the sea, but I didn't intend to get this line, you see, is it a little familiar?"
Wu Lian didn't care about it at first, but when he heard Ye Ya say this, he looked at the coastline that ran northwest and southeast, and when he looked closely, it seemed that he was really a little familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember which coastline this line was.
Ye Ya took out another map from the gold coin bag, which was a map of the kingdom published by the Kingdom Geographic Publishing House, put it on top of the hand-drawn map, and pointed to the southeast of Freya Island: "Look, here." ”
In the southwest outside the city of Yier, the coastline of more than 200 miles is similar to the coastline of Ye Ya's hand-drawn map, with more than 90% overlap, only a few corners, slightly different, if these two lines represent a coastline, in thousands of years, there are these changes, it is also possible.
"Yier City is about sixty miles wide from north to south, and the distance between this ruin and the seaside is about this distance, I guess that Yir City is a city built next to this ruin!" Ye Ya said his thoughts.
"No, it's not right, there are endless deserts on the east and west sides here, Il City, but on the peninsula in the east and west, the northwest is the Habaru Mountains......" Wu Lian looked at the map, but saw Ye Ya looking at her face, saw her looking, and said in a low voice: "God War." ”
Wu Lian frowned and said, "It's also possible, in that war, the landscape changed too much......
"Hey, this is just speculation, I'm going to morning class!" Ye Ya got up and walked outside the house, Wu Lian put away the map, there was still an iron pot hanging on the bonfire shelf last night, and Wu Lian added some water to it to prepare breakfast.
Lingling had actually woken up a long time ago, and when he saw the two of them leaning together talking, he was embarrassed to open his eyes and disturb them, so he kept pretending to be asleep, and when he saw Ye Ya coming out of the house, Wulian added water to the pot, and the sound was not small, so he pretended to open his eyes and said, "Ah, it's all bright, is it breakfast?" I'll help you." ”
Luo Sheng was on a higher roof next to him, but Miao Xiaodao was never seen, and it was not until the four of them finished breakfast that Miao Xiaodao touched it back, took out a piece of paper from the gold coin bag, and handed it to Wu Lian.
"What is this?" asked Ulen, taking the paper.
Miao Xiaodao had already taken out the kettle and dry cakes, swallowed the dry cakes with water, and said vaguely: "Yesterday...... In the evening, I got mixed in, a team ......"
Miao Xiaodao's first sentence scared a few other people enough to mix into a team?
This is just one sentence, but if you want to implement it, it is difficult to describe it in a thousand words, just ask, what kind of people can blend into the magic sword team without being discovered by the rest of the people?
Even if you don't count the sun and moon of the Shenshui Continent, they have been together for nearly twenty years, each other's every move, whether they are snoring and grinding their teeth or farting when they sleep, whether they walk with their heads up and their chests swaggered or weak and unable to hide their heads and tails, whether they eat to fill their stomachs or chew slowly and savor them...... Wait, wait, what's not clear?
How is it possible to want to blend in with them without being discovered?
"Hey, it's not what you think! It seems like the children of a big family, they don't know each other well, and they ...... Ha ......" Miao Xiaodao suddenly laughed, squirted out a mouthful of cake crumbs, choked himself out of breath, and drank water again and again, and the others looked at Miao Xiaodao who was drinking water suspiciously.
After a while, he relented, and then said: "The people of this team have actually thought of using the method of pretending to be a statue, hoping to lure out the ghosts of this ruin and lead them into Akas, hahaha, you say, it's funny, isn't it funny?"
"Statues?"
"Yes, no one can tell who the statue sitting opposite is, I found a shabby armor to put on, sat next to them for half the night, and really heard something useful...... In the northeast of the ruins, there is a forest of steles, as if buried dead warriors, there are many strange things happening there, some of the undead have not dispersed, I ran to take a look, a little gloomy, the steles are all some unknown words, I will bring back, let you see. ”
Wu Lian had already opened the paper, and it was written in very ancient words, "This is ancient writing, I'll take a look." ”
Wu Lian took out the Divine Eye, poured mana, and looked at the paper, but on the paper, there were still those crooked ink, and there was no response, Wu Lian took down the Divine Eye, and said: "There is no elf echo on it, and I don't recognize ......."
"Didn't you all know each other before?" Luo Sheng pointed at Ye Ya.
"Luo Qi, that's because there are elves in those ancient characters, and through the echo of mana, we can know the meaning of the words, in fact, we still don't know it......" Wu Lian explained seriously.
"Oh...... Oh......" Luo Sheng touched his nose, since Wu Lian didn't call him stupid, he always felt that something was missing, which made him embarrassed to call her Sister Lian, but honestly called the captain, at this moment Seeing Wu Lian explain so seriously, he didn't understand, he could really ask again.
"It seems that we must go to the Forest of Steles...... "Wu Lian stood up, took out the map of the ruins drawn by Ye Ya, and asked Miao Xiaodao to mark the route clearly and explain the surrounding situation clearly.
"Those three teams have been here for a long time, every night, they will return to the camp, and in the evening, there are only two teams, and there are only two people here, and it is easy to solve. Miao Xiaodao marked on the map.
"So they don't care about this place?" asked Ulen.
"Well, it should be like this, although there are a lot of strange things, but I have been here for more than ten days in that team, and I haven't found anything, so it's not strange. ”
"Then why don't we go over and have a look during the day?" asked Luo Sheng.
"No, ......" Ye Ya denied, saying: "We are in the dark, this is an advantage, we can keep it for as long as we can......"
"Yes, let's go over in the evening," Wu Lian also nodded in agreement, "Detective by Dao Dao and Min Zhen, until there is no definite clue, everyone will stay hidden, and search our area today to find out the surrounding situation." ”
Min Zhen's speed, if you just want to hide yourself, in this huge city ruins, even Lingling, you can't find her, and the knife is more suitable for reconnaissance in this environment, the original dark green with yellow body color, since you arrived here, it has become a little yellow and white, lying on the corner of the eaves and the wall, even if you stand under the wall, tell you that the knife is on this wall, take it seriously, look carefully, it is difficult to find where the knife is.
Thanks to the reconnaissance of the two excellent scouts, the map was quickly enriched, and all the house layouts from the center of the house where they settled to the center of the ruins and the forest of steles to the northeast were clearly drawn on paper.
