Chapter 5: The City of Ruins
The next day.
In the boundless desert area, a layer of unchanging heat is unbearable, the scorching sun shines down, the heat wave rolls, and the air is slightly distorted.
Especially now that the time has come to noon.
And at this moment, in this desert, there is a figure like an ant, rushing around in the desert at great speed.
This figure is none other than Qin Ming.
I saw that on his right wrist, he was carrying a pair of metal power guides, and in the center of the power guides, a flame spar was inlaid with them, reflecting the light under the sunlight.
Sou!
Since he was traveling alone, Qin Ming's speed was very fast, and after only an hour and a half, he returned to the abandoned area of the dark city wall.
"Whew!"
Qin Ming took a slight breath and poured himself a lake of water, only then did he slowly reduce his speed, he randomly found a broken wall and stopped, here, the scorching sunlight was somewhat blocked.
He sat down on the spot, and took out a worn-out earth-yellow map in the pouch of his belt, with yellowed drawings and somewhat torn corners, quite old.
It's a complete map of the city, with the locations of buildings, towers, underpasses, and more, as well as the most important archival locations.
"The ruined city you're going to is called Salac City, also known as Prison City, but it was abandoned for some reason a hundred years ago!"
"It is said that the most vicious criminals in the whole continent were once imprisoned in the prison city, and most of them were wanted criminals above the C level!"
"What you're looking for is the details of a demon known as the Red Refining Demon..."
In Qin Ming's mind, the words of Old Man Harris yesterday were still echoing, and Qin Ming was shocked at that time.
It has been two months since he crossed into this world, and he is not a little white who doesn't know anything, in this other world, the average criminal above level C is at least a strong person above the level 40 steel level.
Is this for research?
Or is there something else going on?
Qin Ming thought about it and directly vetoed it, he thought that he had reached the current stage of the twenty-third level of strength, and to break into an unknown prison city was completely looking for death.
But later, the old man Harris said again: "A hundred years ago, the wanted criminal of the Red Refining Demon, he was not a human, but an alchemist!"
"This person was made using ancient alchemy!"
"And my real purpose is to reshape Evan into the body of an alchemist..."
Hearing this, Qin Ming was silent.
He knew that Evan was actually Harris's own grandson, and Evan was originally a human, but on his 10th birthday, Evan died in a strange guide car accident.
And later, Harris relied on the magic alchemy technique to copy Evan's memory...
Thinking of this, Qin Ming shook his head violently, his expression became firm, he put away the map, and then adjusted the guide device on his right hand, and his figure shot out again.
"Think it's for Evan!" Qin Ming muttered to himself.
Sou!
His speed was very fast, and after another ten minutes or so, he truly entered a huge city of ruins.
Walking into it, all you can see is the ruins of the broken wall, a ruin, and the red hot wind and sand blow through the yellow sand, giving people a very desolate feeling, as if telling an unknown past.
Qin Ming's eyes flashed with a look of shock, and he stepped on the yellow sand and continued to move forward, but his pace slowed down, because he knew that one mile further down would be the patrol route of the Demon Guide Patrol.
It wasn't until yesterday that he really learned that those gray and white warriors were actually the magic patrol who guarded the prison city a hundred years ago.
Although the humans have abandoned Salak City, these magic patrols have been patrolling for hundreds of years.
Trample... Trample!
Qin Ming lifted his spirits and walked forward for more than thirty steps, when he heard the sound of huge footsteps coming from far and near.
Sou!
His reaction speed was extremely fast, and with a light tap on the soles of his feet, he quickly hid in an abandoned house, and soon saw a gray-white armored warrior patrolling by with huge steps.
"Good fellow, if you go head-on with this magic patrolman, it's a bit of a problem!"
He could feel that this magic patrol had at least level 30, silver high-level strength.
It didn't take long for Qin Ming to feel that this magic patrol was walking away, so he walked out of the house and walked cautiously along a wide ruined road, with abandoned houses of varying heights everywhere along the way.
Soon came to the vicinity of a broken tower.
Trample... Trample!
Just as he was about to pick up speed, there was a sudden sound of loud footsteps, and it was quite close to here.
Are you going to bump into it?
"Why another one!" Qin Ming frowned.
Looking around at the layout of the surrounding houses, suddenly his eyes flashed, and he quickly stretched out his left hand and said in a low voice: "Thousand Illusions, Hook Gun!"
When his words fell, a faint light flashed in his hand, and a silver rope gun quickly appeared.
Qin Ming's eyes narrowed, and he raised his gun to shoot at the height of the tower, and the reins flew out, easily inserting into the walls of the tower, and then as soon as the reins were pulled, his body quickly rushed up.
Trample... Trample!
At this moment, the gray-white magic warrior appeared from the other end of the tower.
It seemed to sense something, and the faint light in the helmet strafed back and forth, but found nothing, and after a few seconds of pause, it continued to patrol ahead as if nothing had happened.
"Whew!"
At this time, Qin Ming had already climbed into the top of the broken tower.
Today's Thousand Illusions, although the seal has not been opened, can still be transformed into five weapons.
They are swords, greatswords, hammers, blackiron shields, and hook guns!
This was also set by Qin Ming from the beginning, especially the hook gun, which had a miraculous effect in street fighting.
"It's not time to fight yet, it's better to find the archives first!" he thought faintly, slightly relieved.
Standing on the top of the broken tower, with a wide field of vision, the Qin Dynasty looked to the north, and immediately locked on a strange building.
"That's right, it's supposed to be the archives that used to be!"
It's a bit far away, but from a distance, you can still see a huge arc-shaped roof, and although half of the roof is destroyed, it is basically the same as shown on the map.
"Now that you've found your goal, it's time to speed up..."
Now that the direction has been determined, Qin Ming suddenly grinned at the corners of his mouth, took a few steps back, stomped the soles of his feet suddenly, and his body rushed forward, and it was a lifelong leap to the edge of the tower.
This is the height of the tower, and it is about ten meters from the ground, and Qin Ming actually chose to jump over directly.
He's going to do parkour!
At its feet, there are abandoned houses one after another.
Whoosh!
Qin Ming's speed was very fast, and after stepping on the roof of the first house, he did not stop, and continued to step on the top of the house, running wildly towards the northern position.
Shout!
Suddenly, there was a birdsong in the sky that sounded like an alarm.
Immediately after, several black dots appeared at the same time, and they quickly roared towards Qin Ming's position.
