147. Let them run away
After two days of walking through the mountains, passing through deep canyon passes, an ancient ruin in the valley in the distance came into view.
This is a remnant of an ancient city, and it is said to be a castle left over from the dark period, so it is called the Dark Castle. It occupies a radius of hundreds of miles, and many places have been covered by dense forests, leaving only a few mottled walls. From time to time, there were bursts of roars of demonic beasts from the ruins, and those high-level demonic beasts above the sixth order had already left, and those who remained in the ruins of this ancient city were at most low-level or middle-level demonic beasts.
The relics of this dark age vaguely tell the glory of mankind in those years.
Seeing those broken walls and scattered bones, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation and loneliness in their hearts. If one day, Beicang City is breached by the demonic beasts, it will be the same as this ruin, only bones and broken walls will be left everywhere.
The Dark Ages Warcraft was raging, destroying all the empires of mankind, and only some survivors were still fighting against Warcraft, but many of the human civilizations had been annihilated in that catastrophe. For example, in Beicang City, many exercises, martial arts, and talismans are incomplete, and if you explore these ancient remnants, you are likely to get some items left over from the Dark Ages!
The item that Yuan Yufei wanted to find did not belong to this world, and Yuan Yufei didn't know what it was. According to Yue Wuying, it is something left here in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. It can be on the same level as Jiulong Danding.
Before Yuan Yufei and the others came here, various families had already explored the ruins of the dark city, but unfortunately there were not many discoveries, and few people came to explore after that. Zhao Shaolin didn't know where to get a map of the ruins of the dark city, so he decided to come in a group.
"Finally to the ruins of the dark city, we have two paths to choose from, this is the map!" Zhao Shaolin spread out the map and pointed to some of the lines on it and said.
The crowd gathered around the map and talked about it.
"The first line is through the west gate, and if you follow the city walls, you can quickly enter the main city, but what can you find along the way? Of course, we have to enter the houses in the city to make a profit! Zhao Shaolin said one of his subordinates.
"I agree with him!"
"yes, we should investigate this residential area!" The crowd chimed in.
Zhao Shaolin was silent for a moment, looked up at Yuan Yufei, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Everyone was a little surprised, they didn't expect Zhao Shaolin to ask Yuan Yufei's opinion at such a time.
Yuan Shaoci's clear eyes looked at Yuan Yufei, and Yuan Yiyong and Yuan Wuci also stared at Yuan Yufei intently. The three of them seem to have regarded Yuan Yufei as their backbone.
Now everyone is already very concerned about Yuan Yufei's opinion.
Yuan Yufei spread his hands and said: "If you came here just to search this private house, then it is a big mistake, the people who came before us must have searched these private houses, and we are afraid that we will find nothing if we search again, in general, who is the richest in a city?" Could it be civilians? Of course not, 90% of the wealth of a city is gathered in the hands of the family! ”
"This city is hundreds of miles in circumference, so many houses, and many places have been destroyed, how do we know which one is where the family lives?" Xiong Yan retorted beside her, she had to refute everything Yuan Yufei said.
"Go on!" Zhao Shaolin looked at Yuan Yufei meaningfully, and he obviously agreed with Yuan Yufei's inference.
Xiong Yan became more and more angry, and she couldn't wait to find an opportunity to kill Yuan Yufei now.
"It's actually very easy to find the location where the big families live, and this map is where the density of buildings is the most sparse! Generally, the big families will have their own independent courtyards! Yuan Yufei continued.
All eyes fell on the map.
"It's here!" Yuan Shaoci said in surprise.
"Yes, it should be here, a lot of the buildings here are huge!"
Zhao Shaolin frowned slightly and said, "This area has already been searched, and although some good things have been found, there are not many!" Someone has already dug this area into the ground, and they haven't found a secret room or anything like that! ”
"I said, what you can think of, everyone else has already thought of! Do you think that so many families in Beicang City are vegetarians! Xiong Yan snorted coldly.
Yuan Yufei frowned, stared at Xiong Yan and said, "Can you shut up first when I speak, since you are so smart, then let you speak?" ”
Xiong Yan was about to refute, but saw Zhao Shaolin glaring at Xiong Yan, and snorted coldly: "Shut up!" ”
Xiong Yan opened her mouth, and finally closed her mouth depressedly, although she and Zhao Shaolin were the first geniuses in Beicang City, but they could not be compared with Zhao Shaolin in terms of status, and they didn't dare to refute Zhao Shaolin with her ten dares.
"This area has been searched, and it is normal, let's continue to look at the map, this area inhabited by the big families is right on the central axis of Gulan City, because this is the most heavily guarded and safest place in Gulan City." Yuan Yufei pointed to an area behind the family clan and said, "This area should be the location of the City Lord's Mansion!"
Zhao Shaolin nodded, Yuan Yufei's inferences so far are correct, but even the City Lord's Mansion, those who came first have already searched, including underground, and there are still not many discoveries.
"Let's continue to look at the map, it's only a few hundred meters away from the City Lord's Mansion, there are three areas, do you know what these three areas are for?" Yuan Yufei looked at Zhao Shaolin and asked.
"Of these three areas, one is the school field, which is the place where the city lord trains his troops, and there is a dense stone fortress built inside, which is empty, all of them are built with black maromite, and they can't even be chiseled! The other one I don't know what it does, it's right next to the stone fortress, overgrown with weeds and trees! Zhao Shaolin said, before he came here, he had already understood the map of Gulan City very well.
Hearing Zhao Shaolin's words, Yuan Yufei smiled slightly and said, "It's about the same as my judgment!" ”
Zhao Shaolin's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, these three places are very suspicious?" Could it be the stone fortress? But I searched there, too! ”
"That stone fortress should be a refuge when disaster comes, when the demon beasts come, they will definitely enter this stone fortress to hide, maybe there will be some dark rooms to hide treasures, this open space near the stone fortress, it is obviously a trap area, it is used to resist the demon beasts, if you enter here to investigate, maybe you don't know how to die." And I think the most suspicious place should be this school field! Yuan Yufei smiled faintly.
"Why is the most suspicious place in this school field?"
The school field is a muddy open space, a square for military training, what is there to be suspicious?
"The most inconspicuous place, often the safest place! What's more, this city lord actually arranged the school field on the central axis of the city, this should not be simple, and there is probably something very important hidden under the school field! Yuan Yufei pointed to the map and said, "Let's go around here first, let's search first!" ”
"Hmmm! So decided! Zhao Shaolin closed the map and said with a slight smile, since the direction has been determined, they can save a lot of time and take a lot of detours.
Zhao Shaolin's subordinates looked at Yuan Yufei with a trace of admiration in their eyes, and no one looked down on Yuan Yufei at this time, and felt that it was natural for Yuan Yufei to choose a treasure first.
Zhao Shaolin raised his head, his eyes flashed with brilliance, Yuan Yufei's rigorous reasoning made him very admired, and he faintly felt that Yuan Yufei was not simple. Is this still a 15-year-old girl, I really don't know how she knows so much. Zhao Shaolin decided that he must take good care of her, and he must not let Xiong Yan have a chance......
is also the first day genius of Beicang City, Zhao Shaolin still knows Xiong Yan quite well, and with Xiong Yan's character, he will definitely not let go of Yuan Yufei. That's why Zhao Shaolin was so dissatisfied with Xiong Yan just now, and he drank it for export.
Zhao Shaolin asked, "Where did Yuan Yufei go?"
"It seems to be convenient."
Zhao Shaolin was stunned, everyone stopped to rest just now, Zhao Shaolin explained some things to his subordinates, and when he turned around, he found that Yuan Yufei was gone.
After listening to his subordinates' reports, he was a little embarrassed, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Xiong Yan? What about Xiong Yan? Where did she go. "No wonder Zhao Shaolin feels wrong, Xiong Yan has always liked to follow him, but now he found that Xiong Yan and Yuan Yufei disappeared at the same time.
"It seems to be convenient to go."
There are only two women among them, Xiong Yan and Yuan Yufei. When the other men saw the two women, they walked towards the woods, and naturally thought that they had gone for convenience. Naturally, it is not good to ask too much, let alone follow.
"Oops...... You go to the school first, and when you get there, you will dig three feet into the ground for me. I'll come when I go. After Zhao Shaolin finished speaking, he went to the woods.
Zhao Shaolin was looking for Yuan Yufei's traces in the dense forest, anxious, hoping that Yuan Yufei did not encounter any trouble.
At this moment, Zhao Shaolin suddenly saw a figure coming out of the bushes, who was not Yuan Yufei?
"Why are you still here? What about Xiong Yan? She didn't do anything to you! Zhao Shaolin frowned and asked,
"I'm fine, why did you come out to find me? Would a person like you be dangerous? Yuan Yufei said. After all, Zhao Shaolin is the son of the city lord, and if something happens, Yuan Yufei can't afford to be responsible. As for Xiong Yan, he was trapped in the talisman array by Yuan Yufei.
Zhao Shaolin was moved in his heart, didn't say anything, and said: "We have to leave quickly, otherwise those people should catch up!" ”
"Those people?" Yuan Yufei was stunned for a moment.
"He is a person of the top ten evildoers, a master of the fifth layer of the three qi refining periods. We intercepted them and let them run away. Zhao Shaolin said, pulling Yuan Yufei's jade hand and running away.
It turned out to be the three people who followed them. That's not the top ten villains, it's obviously Xiong Yan's people. However, Yuan Yufei said that they were the top ten evildoers, and Zhao Shaolin naturally believed it. Yuan Yufei didn't open his mouth to explain.
The two of them ran wildly through the dense forest, flying all the way.
Being held by Zhao Shaolin, Yuan Yufei's cheeks blushed and struggled, but she couldn't break free, so she could only let Zhao Shaolin do this, she looked up at Zhao Shaolin's side face, and didn't know if Zhao Shaolin was unintentional or deliberate. Since she was a child, it was the first time she was held by a boy!
The warmth of Zhao Shaolin's palm gave her a very thick and safe feeling.
The two men ran wildly all the way towards the agreed place.
The sky gradually darkened, and from time to time there were bursts of beast roars from the depths of the dense forest, which made this place a little more solemn.
Zhao Shaolin took Yuan Yufei together and ran wildly all the way, avoiding those ordinary demonic beasts along the way.
