In the city of Markwei, which was full of drunkenness and noise, Su Wen walked alone on the main road of the southern city, looking a little out of place.

The adventurers roaming the streets, mostly in groups of three or five, humming heroic tunes, hugging girls with big breasts and fat buttocks, their nightlife has just begun.

These adventurers are all returning from hunting. After selling the fruits of the hunt, he had spare money in his pocket, and he wanted to have fun in time.

And when Su Wen walked to the outskirts of Nancheng, he found that there were also adventurers who planned to leave the next day, taking advantage of the fact that the store was not closed, to come out to purchase food, medicine and other materials.

The atmosphere on the outskirts of the southern city is almost two worlds away from the inner city.

But the people in these two worlds are actually the same people, they cycle between the two states, maybe one day they have saved enough money, or they are injured, or they are old, and then they return to their hometowns with scars and exhaustion to live a stable life.

Or like the tavern owner, he hides in the city.

"Out of town?"

The city guards frowned and looked at the young man dressed as an ordinary adventurer in front of him, and repeated what Su Wen had just meant.

"Yes. ”

"Boy, didn't you drink too much, did you?" The city guards walked into Su Wen with some disbelief, as if they wanted to confirm whether Su Wen had any alcohol on him.

Although there is no rule in the city of Makwe that you are not allowed to leave the city at night, everyone knows that going to a place in the wilderness at night is undoubtedly equivalent to sending you to death.

Because at night in this land, you don't know where you are, a nocturnal monster of what kind will jump out and attack you.

Even adventurers who stay outside overnight gather together, and with strict safety measures in place, they can only guarantee the safety of their lives.

An ordinary adventurer like Su Wen, who is alone and doesn't seem to be very strong, probably chose to go out of the city at this time because his brain was broken, right?

"Newcomer, don't you know that it is dangerous to go outside the city at night? The nearest town is thirty miles away, and if you don't go crazy, go back quickly......"

In a way, this city guard is quite kind. After all, I am used to seeing the deaths and injuries of these adventurers, and I will only respect life more and more.

Su Wen sighed, he was too lazy to entangle with this city guard, he just drew a small spell with his fingertips, and then, as if he had lost his mind, he no longer interfered with Su Wen, and then watched Su Wen walk out of the city gate and return to his post.

"You didn't convince him to go back?"

"...... persuade him to go back?" The city guards came back to their senses when they heard their colleagues' questions, thinking about what had just happened, and after a few seconds, they muttered: "Yes, why didn't I persuade him to go back, and let him out......

As he spoke, the city guard couldn't help but look out of the city. But all he could see was a dark wilderness, and the glimmer of the bright stars in the sky.

After Su Wen left the sight of the city guards, he flew up with light skills, and at the same time, he used his night vision ability to identify the direction of the tower and flew straight to the west.

In fact, at the height of the Forgotten Towers, even on such a night, it can be seen faintly, and the night vision ability is just to ensure that the direction is correct.

Acting during the day was too noticeable, so Su Wen directly chose to set off at night, and at his speed, it would only take ten minutes at most to reach the Tower of Oblivion, which was closest to Markwei City.

The name of this ancient battlefield has spread a long time ago, but no one can explain what kind of battles or wars took place in this ancient battlefield.

According to the Cult texts, this is the battlefield of gods and demons, and a few years ago, there was an earth-shattering battle here, which directly changed the nearby terrain and even cut off the passage to the southern continent - on the other side of the South China Sea of the Marenor Empire, there is also a continent.

However, because of the danger of the South China Sea, the transport fleet will choose the eastern or western routes, which also makes the journey much longer.

These towers were erected by the gods to commemorate the fallen heroes of mankind.

However, in terms of the current state of monsters, this statement is only regarded as a myth.

If God really existed, why not set a fire or draw a bolt of lightning to drive away these monsters that they regarded as filth?

From the point of view of historians combined with historical data, this place thousands of years ago should have been a battlefield between two countries.

At that time, the number of high-level mages and warriors was much higher than now, so the scale and momentum of the war were also much larger. Therefore, there will be a lot of terrain that does not conform to the common sense of geography in this land. The Towers of Oblivion are defensive structures built by humans to guard and watch.

Of course, there are many other points of view, which I will not repeat here.

Su Wen's purpose is these towers.

After all, he woke up from one of these towers.

Along the way, Su Wen in the sky saw the camps of many adventurers on the ground, as well as the bonfires they lit, and in this land, there were indeed many nocturnal monsters, these monsters are not concentrated, and from the appearance, they should usually be lurking in the land.

This is already the case not far from Markway City, and in the depths of the ancient battlefield, there are probably many more monsters.

After flying some more distance, Su Wen landed in front of the first Tower of Oblivion.

It was the closest tower to Markwis and the first Tower of Oblivion to be breached. The monsters in the tower have long been emptied, and the valuable things have long been moved out, and what remains here is just an empty shell.

However, there are also many adventurers who will choose their camping location in this tower. Compared with the wilderness without security, this building undoubtedly provides a stable survival guarantee for adventurers.

In this tower of oblivion, there are actually nearly a hundred adventurers who know each other or don't know each other. The adventurers were divided into several groups and scattered throughout the tower.

Some of the rooms in the tower became their hotels.

Su Wen hid himself, bypassed several warning traps, and entered the tower to check around.

In the vicinity of the Forgotten Tower, the number of monsters is significantly lower than in the wild, presumably due to the lights near the tower, or the habit of humans for a long time.

Unfortunately, nothing useful has been found in this tower.

Also, in the case of adventurers coming and going, they have long dug up the secrets of this tower, and the things stored in it have long been moved out, even if there are hidden things, they have all been found.

For example, the tower has a basement, and the time of exposure is noticeably different from the above-ground part.

Since there was no gain, Su Wen didn't stay any longer, so he flew directly to the next location.

"If only there was a map......

Su Wen stopped in the air, positioning his direction.

Although he has a map function, most of the places on it are still in a state of fog, and only the places that he has personally explored are marked with the location of the terrain, and within the range of his perception, white dots and red dots will appear on the map.

If there were other maps, Su Wen would also be able to project a copy of the map directly into his own map, which Su Wen neglected because he was thinking about the tower.

Even so, Su Wen rushed to the next tower.

So far, there have been four towers that have been breached by humans, the most recent of which was fifty years ago, when the father of the current Emperor Marreno succeeded to the throne.

After the new king ascended the throne, in order to show the prestige of the country, he personally came to the city of Makwei to supervise the battle, and let his generals and recruited adventurers come to the bottom of the Tower of Oblivion.

A group of masters and some adventurers who dared to die because of the high reward were selected, and it took three days to break through the tower.

The fruits of victory are much smaller than the price paid, and in the eyes of a businessman, the deal is not worth it.

The high-level monsters at the top of the tower took the lives of dozens of people, and the subsequent battle even blew the entire top of the tower into slag, and in the end, all they got was a bunch of high-grade monster materials.

But the people who experienced that battle were only a minority after all, and as for the real gain, it was only hidden in the depths of some people's hearts. But even with undisclosed gains, this battle is undoubtedly a failure.

Because if the income is greater than the cost, then why didn't that emperor organize a second battle in his lifetime?

However, from another aspect, this battle also established the prestige of the emperor, the smooth transfer of power, and also laid the foundation for the rapid development of the southeast coast in the next fifty years.

Su Wen spent most of the night visiting several towers that had been developed by humans, and there was still something to gain.

That is, among these four Forgotten Towers, there is nothing related to Su Wen.

This was equivalent to a harvest without a harvest, and it did not affect Su Wen's mood, he landed on the broken top of the tower that was blown away at the top of the tower, and rested for a while.

Along the way, the monsters that Su Wen saw were probably platinum-level mid-to-high-level monsters, and they were all insects and beasts with low intelligence. These monsters are also the targets of those adventure groups.

There is a dividing line between the safe range of human activities and the frequent range of monsters, and this dividing line is not fixed, when the number of adventurers increases, this line will move westward, and when the number of adventurers begins to decrease, this line will gradually move eastward.

By the way, after the appearance of Xueton's abandoned village and the Flame Demon Valley, this dividing line has moved a long distance to the east.

And the deeper you go, the average strength of the monsters will increase by a step. In other words, in the center of the ancient battlefield, you may encounter a monster at the level of a demon king.

But for Su Wen, these demon kings are just small shrimps.

When Su Wen was resting, he suddenly saw that in the distance of the eastern horizon, a little fire appeared. The light of the fire moved westward along the almost unsightly ancient road. Su Wen's attention was also attracted by this firelight.

When I looked closely, I realized that this light was the headlight of a caravan.

Caravans?

Far from the west of Markway City, on this ancient battlefield where monsters are ravaging, how can there be caravans?

Su Wen became interested, and simply stood on top of the broken wall and looked at the caravan.

As the fire got closer and closer, Su Wen realized that this was not just a caravan, but a convoy. The convoy consisted of four caravans, with only the front one lit by headlights.

The driver, apparently, is human.

This is not the configuration of an expeditionary group, because when an adventure group comes out to hunt, most of them will bring mobile horses and mounts, and a bulky caravan like this will only bring one or two at most during the expedition to store supplies.

Rather than an adventure group, this convoy is more like a transport team.

The transportation team of the Sword of Longjiang Adventure Group who hitchhiked with Su Wen was a feeling.

It's just that this transport team has a lot less escort personnel. Such a configuration is quite common in the prosperous areas of the southeast coast, but in this ancient battlefield, it is simply an act of looking for death.

Aren't these people afraid of monsters?

Su Wen simply got up and followed behind the team.

Su Wen approached several times along the way, but he didn't hear the horsemen talking, as if they didn't need to chat to pass the boring time during this journey.

What would they do if they encountered a monster?

Su Wen had such a question, and even had the urge to grab a monster and throw it in front of them, but in the end, he still held back.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, there are basically no monsters on the route of this convoy, and this convoy has hardly stopped to repair once.

However, on the way, Su Wen still saw one of the coachmen, took out a water bag, and drank water to quench his thirst. Otherwise, Su Wen would probably treat this as a group of puppets.

Puppet?

Thinking of this, Su Wen seemed to grasp something. Inspired by this point, Su Wen rolled up a small breeze and blew up the curtain behind the caravan a little.

The caravan was filled with layers of sacks and barrels.

Although he didn't know what was in the sack, Su Wen recognized the barrel.

The appearance of the barrel was exactly the same as that on the board cart of the young man who delivered wine in Markway City.

In other words, the contents of that barrel are wine? Inferred, the contents of the sack should be flour? So, this is a grain transport team?

Grain Delivery Team...... In this ancient battlefield, there are no villages, towns and cities...... But......

Su Wen had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then after becoming invisible, he approached forward, and he still had one last thing that needed to be confirmed.

On the wrist of the groom holding the reins, Su Wen really found what he was looking for-

A black rope tied to your hand.
