Chapter 393: The Ruins City
Shuttling through the cracks, Xu Shen left the Divine Soldier Tomb with Xingjun and the original owner and returned to the sea of ruins.
Instead of the Crimson Gate at the bottom of the lake, it was a strange barren area, and the ground around it was littered with the remnants of gnawing and gnawing, rotting into gray and bones shattering at the touch of a button.
Xu Shen searched in Pamira's memory, but did not find the memory of this area, and then he searched for it from the memories of other kings, and it was not until Mo Chengfeng's memory that he found the memory of this area.
Although the memories that Mo Chengfeng gave Xia Tong were forged after his own conversion, the truth and falsehood were mixed, and some of the memories about the sea of ruins did not have much value, so they were not hidden.
At this moment, several memories were pieced together, plus the fragments of the map of the sea of ruins that Xu Shen had searched, and they soon found a common place to connect.
Xu Shen immediately followed the route and went to the crimson gate at the bottom of the lake again.
Along the way, you will climb through eerie and desolate places, where the world is like an oil painting, mottled and vivid, and extremely abstract.
On the way, he encountered a ruin beast, and Xu Shen handed it over to the original owner to solve.
With their "primitive" abilities, these ruin beasts are hardly the enemies of their original owners.
As an A-level ruin, it can even threaten other kings, but it is no different from the two states in front of the original owner, and it is easy to be suppressed or killed, and even the number of people living in groups is meaningless.
As long as the ability can't threaten the original owner, no matter how much it is, it's all about chopping melons and vegetables.
These ruin beasts also realized that Xu Shen and the original owner were not easy to mess with, and when they both noticed each other, Daxu immediately turned around and fled.
Xu Shen knew that these ruins were the divine aura emitted by smelling the demigod spiritual power on their bodies.
This kind of aura makes the big ruins who have lived in the sea of ruins for a long time afraid from the bones.
The three of them are together, shuttling all the way, and there is also a bit of a rampant taste in the sea of ruins.
It didn't take long for Xu Shen to find the ruin forest again, and when he went into the depths, he saw the lake and the crimson gate after the war.
Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, if he knew the route, he would be able to go in again at any time next time.
Presumably, the same is true of Master Zero, who has mastered a map of the route of a crimson door.
After confirming the route, Xu Shen didn't linger any longer, and returned with them along the original route.
"Next time, we can go together and explore the other two forbidden places in the Lower Ruins Sea." The original owner said to Xu Shen: "The Divine Soldier Mound is just a divine weapon that hides the old gods, but in the other two forbidden places, I heard that there are still old gods inhabiting, and some hide the secret of becoming gods. ”
"But the probability of death is greater."
Xu Shen glanced at the original owner: "Have you lived enough?" ”
"I can't live enough, and when I return to Cloud City, I'll be done, and I want to try it."
The original owner said: "My familiar relatives and friends have long since died, and the rest are only enemies or people who don't like the eye, they are all kings, and they are all monarchs, time doesn't mean much to me, it's too boring to live day after day, and I can't find fun." ”
Xu Shen glanced at him, but he could understand the original owner's thoughts.
When there are no regrets, only boredom remains.
And to become a king, you basically have the strength to fill most of your regrets, and all your desires can be satisfied.
Lust, greed, violence, etc., almost do whatever you want.
Especially at the level of the monarch, no one can restrain him, and when a person can do whatever he wants, in addition to being violent, he will slowly feel bored.
"Okay, when we're ready, we'll try it." Xu Shen promised the original owner.
The original owner smiled, in addition to saying this, in addition to the obsession of becoming a god, he also wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Xu Shen, after all, now he is tethered by Xu Shen with the temple, if Xu Shen has malicious intentions, he can take his life away at any time, or lock him up in the temple and confine.
If he goes to another forbidden place, whether he dies or Xu Shen, he will be liberated.
Xu Shen knew what the original owner thought, but he didn't care, he also wanted to become a god, if there is a way to become a god, he must try it no matter what, after all, only when he becomes a god, can he really walk in the same world as Maeve.
It didn't take long for Xu Shen to find the crack in the sea of ruins that had shuttled with Xingjun before.
Looking at this crack, Xu Shen's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately couldn't wait to step in.
A strange sense of dissociation appeared, and the surroundings were elongated into mottled colors, and when Xu Shen came back to his senses again, he saw the familiar sky and earth.
It's back.
The long-lost intimacy came to him, and the smell of every wisp of wind in the air made Xu Shen feel sweet.
He looked around, and soon his gaze froze, stopping in the void, where a familiar figure stood silently, seemingly lying on its side in mid-air, and now raised its eyes to look over.
The moment the four eyes met, Xu Shen's heart couldn't help beating a little faster, but this time he didn't turn his gaze, two thousand years of long waiting and longing made his reason suppressed at this moment.
Maeve's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and then she seemed to see something, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said softly: "It seems that you have found a way." ”
Xu Shen also laughed.
Seeing that Xu Shen didn't hide his gaze, Maeve looked at Xu Shen with interest: "You seem to be a lot bolder." ”
"It's finally back."
Next to him, the original owner spoke, with a bit of excitement and nostalgia in his voice, more than three hundred years of blockade, and now it is back again, which makes him feel a feeling that is difficult to describe.
Xu Shen's thoughts retracted, and he glanced at Maeve's figure lightly, as if he wanted to imprint it in the depths of his mind, and then carved it a little deeper, and then said to the original owner and Xingjun: "Let's go, go back to the city first." ”
"I also want to go back to Star Sorrow City, why don't I wait for me to go back and take a look before I go to you?" Xingjun took the opportunity to say.
Xu Shen glanced at him quietly and said, "Yes." ”
Xingjun looked at Xu Shen with some surprise, but he didn't expect Xu Shen to really agree.
"Give you seven days to do your business, and after seven days, Guangming City will find me." Xu Shen looked into Xingjun's eyes: "Don't let me down. ”
Xingjun's heart sank, and he nodded: "I'll come." ”
After speaking, he said goodbye to Xu Shen, and quickly turned around and left.
Xu Shen didn't look much and returned to Guangming City with the original owner.
Flying all the way from the high wall to the city lord's mansion in Guangming District, in just two years, Xu Shen saw that Guangming City had changed greatly, and he became a little unrecognizable, and many blocks along the way were empty and blocked by the cordon.
There are also many once prosperous neighborhoods and business districts, which are as dead silent, and some buildings have collapsed but have not been repaired.
Xu Shen's brows furrowed, the bottom city, which was not prosperous in the first place, now looks even worse, like a dead city of refugees.
Soon, Xu Shen came to the City Lord's Mansion.
In the council hall, Nasephone was wearing a ruffled garment, flipping through the chapters, her hair was a little messy, and from time to time she was scratching her head and frowning.
Xu Shen didn't peep much, and came directly from the fourth layer of the ruins to reveal it.
"Something happened." Xu Shen asked.
Nasephone woke up like a dream, looked up, and saw Xu Shen appearing in front of her out of thin air, if it wasn't for Xu Shen to speak, she wouldn't even notice that there was another person in front of her.
"City Lord, you, you're finally back!"
Stunned, Nasephone's face suddenly appeared with surprise, and she hurriedly said, "Great, it's rumored that something happened to you outside, and we thought you wouldn't be able to come back." ”
"There's a civil war?" Xu Shen's eyes flashed.
Nasephone said: "City Lord, have you also seen the situation in the city, it's not a civil war, it's a ruin!" ”
There was a bit of hatred and depression in her eyes, and she said: "Not long after you left, a number of A-level ruins appeared in the city one after another, these ruins preyed and ate people everywhere, thanks to King Xue Haining's action, she was able to recover some losses and barely control the scene, but she was weak alone, and was chased and killed by a ruin before, and was seriously injured, fortunately, your White Horse Ruin took action, so I helped drive away the ruin." ”
Xu Shen was stunned, Xue Haining's ability was not weak, he belonged to the middle and upper class among the kings, and he would be chased and killed by the ruins.
It must be an extremely powerful ruin that can do it.
"What about the two of the Han family?" Xu Shen asked.
"They are also dealing with the big ruins, but the number of these big ruins is too much, in the first year of your disappearance, the city lord, there are seven or eight big ruins, and in the second year, there are dozens of them, there are everywhere in the city, and they can't keep busy."
Nasephone said, "They were all wounded, and the Han Lie Monarch almost died, and he didn't dare to act alone again. ”
Xu Shen was stunned, dozens?
This is an A-class ruin, and it has erupted so frequently in just one year?
The entire underground city is so big, if dozens of ruins divide the territory, it is enough to fill the whole city.
No wonder you see so many places tied up in the blockade along the way.
"And now?"
Xu Shen asked, "Is there anything else in the city now?" ”
"Of course, the two kings of the Xue Haining Monarch and the Han family are patrolling outside, your White Horse Ruins are sitting at the headquarters, and there is also the ruins of the library guard you left behind, there were big ruins to attack here before, and they repelled them." Nasephone said.
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, and the ruins in the library were quite cooperative, and they did not disappoint him.
"In addition to this bad news, we have two other pieces of good news." Nasephone looked at Xu Shen, her expression changed, and she said with a smile: "Commander Chen has also become a king, in addition to him, there is also a person named Xia Jingxiang, who used to follow you and has also become a king. ”
Xu Shen was surprised, the two of them actually became kings?
However, this can also show how grim the situation in Guangming City is during this time.
Most of them have encountered the limit of life and death.
"What about the others, are there any sacrifices?" Xu Shen asked with a calm face.
Nasephone glanced at Xu Shen, nodded, and said, "There are some people who have followed you who have sacrificed, and there are many lists, and I have written them all down." ”
Xu Shen's heart sank, and sure enough.
Becoming a king in adversity and destroying in adversity, two kings were born, indicating that there are dozens or hundreds of dual-states who are in danger of their lives.
"Tell me the location of the ruins, and I'll clear them all!"
Xu Shen said to Nasephone.
Nasephone was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "There are still more than twenty large ruins, do you want to do it yourself?" ”
"Not so."
Xu Shen said coldly: "Hold on." ”
At every delay, people died in the ruins.
Counting the time, it is three months to shuttle through the sea of ruins, and he has been imprisoned in the temple for two years, and he has been exploring the sea of ruins and searching in the tomb of the gods, and it has been two and a half years since he left.
This is not a long time, but according to the amount of food in the Great Market, it is enough to empty half of the city.
Nasephone was startled when she saw Xu Shen's order, and hurriedly summoned the intelligence department, and then handed over the communicator to Xu Shen, and the intelligence facts were transmitted.
Xu Shen picked up the communicator and looked at it twice, there was a map of Guangming City on it, and there were more than 20 red dots covering everywhere.
Each red dot represents the place where the Great Market is entrenched.
In addition, there are quite a few blue spots, which Nasephone said were the location of B-grade ruins.
These blue dots are densely packed, at least hundreds.
Xu Shen frowned, what has happened in the past two and a half years, it seems that the ruin beast appeared a little abnormally before he left, but now it has increased rapidly like the collapse of a snowy mountain.
This is not normal.
Someone targeted? Delivery?
But it seems that no single force can drop dozens of ruins.
Xu Shen didn't think about it, he solved it first, and then went back to the inner city to understand the situation, or went to the council.
"The original owner, come out to work." Xu Shen shouted.
The original owner who stayed in the fourth layer of the ruin realm said helplessly: "There are only more than twenty ruins, you can handle it yourself, and they are not in groups." ”
"Fight quickly, you are in charge of the east, and I am in charge of the west." Xu Shen said, and immediately asked Nasephone for a communicator and threw it to the original owner.
The original owner smiled bitterly, and could only reluctantly agree.
Fortunately, for him, it makes no difference to solve these ruins and follow the hands to cut the straw and wheat.
It's not that hard to do it.
"White horse."
Xu Shen called for the White Horse Market.
With a hiss, the White Horse Ruins rushed from a distance and rushed in front of Xu Shen.
"You're back." When the White Horse Market saw Xu Shen, his eyes were complicated, it had been guarding Xu Shen for more than two years, and it was also guarding the city for the old lord Pamila.
From the bottom of his heart, he regarded Xu Shen as an equal existence to Parmila.
Xu Shen turned over and mounted his horse, and the decay and withering of the White Horse Ruins acted uncontrollably on him, but under the protection of the small and broad domain, this erosion was reduced to almost nothing.
Xu Shen patted the horse's back and set off towards the west.
Rushing out of the bright area, Xu Shen looked at the communicator and started cleaning from the nearest red dot.
Soon, Xu Shen came to the first red dot under the camel load of the White Horse Market.
Here is only a dozen meters of huge spider-like ruins, entrenched in a community, the community is full of cobwebs, but these cobwebs can not be seen in reality, only into the deep ruins, only to see the community has long been unrecognizable.
With Xu Shen's intrusion, the spider ruin immediately noticed the prey, and when he saw Xu Shen and the white horse ruins sitting down, its compound eyes all turned red, and realized that the prey was a little difficult, there were two.
Xu Shen went straight to this spider ruin, and saw that its spider web nest was full of human remains, and all the residents in the community seemed to have been slaughtered by it.
The ground was littered with skulls, and their empty eyes were filled with pathos.
"Make a nest in the second layer of the ruins, damn it."
Xu Shen's eyes were cold, this big ruin chose to wander in the low-level ruin realm just to prey quickly.
Even if the people in the community are fog people, they will not be able to see it, and they will be killed by it.
