I slept refreshed for two hours.

The rest of the time, he took a warm bath under the watchful servants of the castle.

Originally, he planned to return to Lanxing [crossover] and take a shower in the bathroom in the villa room.

But it can't stand the upper path of Baron Bezos.

When he woke up, the maids had already prepared hot water, aromatherapy and flower petals.

simply enjoy the aristocratic treatment of all evils.

A few slender little maids helped him press the rubbing, and he didn't have to do it himself the whole time.

After taking a bath and putting on a layer of rune leather armor, Chen Xuan took a few minutes to tidy up the storage compartment.

In particular, the storage compartment where the personal weapon is placed has been intensively maintained.

Make sure all kinds of weapons are ready to use before heading to the tavern where you are scheduled to meet.

All the members of the expedition were ready.

They each packed their bags.

Only a handful of two or three people have their own storage rings.

Chen Xuan, who was used to being arrogant, almost forgot that scarcity is the true meaning of this world.

In the past, storage jewelry often cost hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of crowns, and even silver-level powerhouses had to save for a long time to be able to afford it.

As for the little Karami of the bronze and black iron grades, unless it is shit luck, there is no need to even think about it.

At this moment, everyone has a printed map of the mural in their hands.

This map is a mural of the mysterious ruins in the Misty Canyon.

Chen Xuan had previously recorded with a camera and a mobile phone.

Now print it out for their reference.

There are eight main markers on the map.

Three of the markers are marked with similar asterisks.

Four other markers are circled.

But the most striking thing is a six-pointed star in the depths of the mountains.

Five of these markers are marked as "Dangerous" or "Extremely Dangerous" by Insight.

Mainly those marked by circles and six-pointed stars.

An asterisk is not dangerous.

Match this mural map to the map around the Misty Canyon to find your way.

The terrain markings on it are still obvious.

It is worth mentioning that the Gloomy Mine in Ansetus is one of the asterisks.

This may mean that the other two markers are also minerals.

Of course, this is just Chen Xuan's speculation, and the specific situation can be seen at a glance.

In line with the principle of safety first, then danger, he was ready to explore the three asterisk markers first.

Then there is the circle marker with the note "Danger".

Finally, there is the six-pointed star marker marked as "Extremely Dangerous".

"Everyone."

Seeing that they were almost ready, Chen Xuan slowly spoke at this time.

Everyone looked at him, and their expressions became solemn.

"This exploration of the Misty Canyon could be dangerous."

"Everyone must be cautious and do not move around or touch unknown objects."

"The ruins in the Misty Canyon have nothing to do with the current natives of Naroa, nor do they have anything to do with the monsters outside the territory."

"There is a high probability that there are traces left by civilizations that we have never seen."

"And a very powerful civilization."

Chen Xuan had a preventive shot in advance.

According to known information, the ruins in the Misty Canyon have little to do with the current Nairoa natives and extraterritorial monsters.

The history is also very long.

At least more than 100,000 naroa years.

In other words, it is not necessarily the current Naroa Aborigines who have left the ruins, but it may also be the Naroa Aborigines of the ancient period.

The current multi-ethnic landscape is not representative of the entire history of the Naroa world.

The same goes for monsters.

Before them, there was some kind of more powerful civilization in this world!

There is something strange about this world, as if some mysterious force is interfering.

Perhaps more secrets can be discovered by exploring those ancient ruins.

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, everyone looked at each other.

Such a thing is undoubtedly subversive.

Prior to this, Chen Xuan had discovered that the Naroa aborigines did not care about the development of various ancient ruins.

Not many scholars are even willing to study it.

This also seems to have something to do with the decline of astrology and lunar phases.

Although I don't want to emphasize conspiracy theories.

However, the operation of the entire Naroa world, including the monsters, has obvious traces of regular interference.

This in itself is very abnormal.

These words also mobilized their enthusiasm, and most of the guys who could be selected had adventure experience, except for the hard threshold condition of meeting the silver-level magic element cultivation.

However, due to the influence of the contract, even if many people had excited expressions on their faces, they did not dare to discuss it wantonly.

"You can discuss it on the road."

"Now we're ready to go."

"And, what I'm trying to tell you is that this time you may witness a miracle, or you may have to face death."

Chen Xuan's words changed and revealed a more cruel reality.

"May I give my life for my master!"

I don't know which sycophant shouted first.

Then the members of the expedition expressed their determination in unison.

They knelt on one knee, fists and pestles, and knelt in front of Chen Xuan.

In this regard, Chen Xuan just nodded flatly.

As long as they are mentally prepared.

He didn't care about this kind of false etiquette for a long time.

Simple mobilization ends.

Without hesitation, he took out a half-track off-road truck in front of everyone.

This is the old goods he found in Dianmian, the "Gas" half-track transformation model from Su Lian.

The maintenance is not bad, and the tire wear is okay.

Diesel engine, the torque is quite powerful.

The half-track movement allows it to walk on most terrain.

But these are not problems, if you really encounter a place where it can't pass, everyone gets out of the car, and you can lift it over, in the magic world, there is no need to let people carry people, and it is completely fine for people to carry cars.

"Get in the car."

Chen Xuan waved his hand.

Everyone sat on the back bucket with heavy luggage.

The crawlers on both sides are visible to the naked eye sinking.

Twelve people, actually made the body of "Gas" appear almost fully loaded.

But it's not hard to understand.

Among the changes brought about by the refinement of the body is the increase in body density.

In addition, the silver-level demon cultivators all have tons of strange power.

Their bags were two or three hundred kilograms, to say the least.

In this way, the load weight is at least six or seven tons.

You must know that Gasco is a classic truck, and it is not as capable of loading as the current mud trucks.

In fact, it is to transfer ammunition and food supplies on the battlefield.

But it doesn't matter, Su Lian's goods are better than the skin.

Chen Xuan sat in the cab, started the engine, and then heated up the engine with a slight idle.

The advantages of the diesel engine are fully exerted.

The gas half-track truck roared like an old beast.

The load-bearing wheels began to turn, and the steel tracks rubbed against the ground as they headed out of the city.

The bumps, noise, and smoke-belching exhaust pipes all make for a less than pleasant ride.

……

More than an hour later.

Misty Canyon Outpost.

The entrance has been blocked by the garrison.

And sentinels of a defensive nature were created.

Of course, there were not many garrisons here, only a few squadrons.

There are also outposts at the exit of the Misty Canyon, where more garrisons are stationed.

The entire canyon has also been partially renovated and warehouses have been built.

It is mainly used to store grain.

This part of the grain was used to supply the defenders of the gorge and the miners and garrisons of the dark gold.

Change is everywhere.

The gas-spewing half-track truck stopped in front of the sentinel site.

All members of the expedition jumped from the top of the body.

Chen Xuan left the cab and lifted the hood.

I saw the diesel engine intake, which had been burned red.

At this time, the air cylinder of the body is emitting hot heat, which can almost be used to grill meat.

The cooling fan at the front is of little use.

But it doesn't matter, red-burning is just the order of the day for old-fashioned diesel engines.

Chen Xuan still remembers when he was a child, the single-cylinder diesel "Three Horses" he saw in the countryside either burned red or boiled after the load, without any faults, but it was scary to watch, and it was still good after a little cooling.

The torque of the old diesel engine is amazing.

There's a joke in the off-road world, whether you're 4×4, or 6×6.

It doesn't matter if it's two locks, or four locks.

If the off-road master can't get by, he will definitely be able to pass by changing the "three horses".

And so it really is.

The durability of the old diesel engine can be seen.

The fly in the ointment is that this thing is easy to lose in winter.

It is necessary to burn the cylinder block.

This seems to be a common problem of diesel engines, many diesel cars are placed in extremely cold environments, and there will still be such a problem, even if it is replaced with low-grade diesel, it cannot be completely solved.

In addition, if you don't consider comfort, the comprehensive efficiency of the diesel engine can be said to be a complete gasoline engine.

So this old gas car successfully completed the task.

got out of the car collectively, and Chen Xuan put it into the storage compartment with his backhand.

The garrison at the outpost in front saw that it was Chen Xuan who had arrived in person, and hurriedly pulled away the heavy repulsion horses used for blockade.

The crowd walked into the canyon.

I haven't been here for a while, and the fog here has cleared a lot.

The air is no longer excessively humid.

As the ancient cave that once sealed the demon dragon was attacked.

The environment has changed a lot.

Where the monster is there, it will always have a noticeable change in the surrounding environment.

The bones that had been scattered on the ground were cleaned up.

The remains of the monsters were pulled to the Magdam City workshop to see if there were any parts worth recovering.

The bones of humans and other Naroya were burned and buried.

This makes the passage in the canyon much cleaner and cleaner.

The air is no longer filled with strange smells.

The Misty Canyon outpost has a small detachment of garrisons leading the way.

When passing by the cave, Chen Xuan found that it had been converted into a warehouse.

A shady and light-sheltered cave can indeed be regarded as a natural warehouse, which can save you the trouble of digging again.

The rock mass here is very solid, and it has been tested according to the people sent by the Blacksmiths Guild and the Alchemy Guild.

It was found that there was a lot of black iron and bronze mixed in the rock mass.

The entire rock base here has been subjected to large-scale melting.

The fierce heat turned the earth into magma, and the incorporation of a large amount of ore made it extremely hard after solidifying, how terrifying the axe that could cut the canyon here, even Chen Xuan couldn't find an adjective.

Moving on, you will arrive at the mysterious ruins that previously contained the mural map.

However, all the murals were chiseled down and stored in the storage compartment.

The rest of the place was also destroyed by him after the filming was recorded.

This site has a lot to do with it.

There's no need to stay here.

Moreover, Chen Xuan had reason to suspect that the location of the dark gold mine given to Ansetus by the black magic dragon Belle was obtained from the ruins, and the depths of the Misty Mountains seemed to have not been damaged for so many years.

Walk through the mystical ruins, a few kilometers from the exit of the Misty Canyon, and in front of you lies the fragments left behind by the mysterious axe.

Giant metal fragments are inserted diagonally into the rock floor

The debris was exposed to the ground at its highest point, close to twenty meters.

It's matte black throughout, almost blending in with the rock base.

It looks like a "thin slice" cut from a rock face.

In Chen Xuan's [Insight], the prompt message fed back by the fragment in [Insight] is:

[Fragments of remnants left behind in ancient times]

[Earth Fission Axe Blade Tip 6,782 Fragments]

[Eroding by the years, it has long lost its divinity, and the material itself has been assimilated with the earth and rocks]

……

In other words, this massive fragment was only one-sixth of the tip of the blade called the [Earth Fission Axe].

I'm afraid that the length of that axe is at least tens of thousands of meters.

unimaginable power.

Even a gold-level powerhouse is just an ant that can be crushed at any time in front of such a divine weapon.

Although Chen Xuan was not yet sure whether the owner of the [Earth Fission Axe] had a clear connection with the mysterious ancient civilization.

But there's no doubt that they all have something to do with Misty Canyon.

In addition, there is a little bit of scary thinking.

That is, the [Earth Fission Axe] is shattered here, which means that there has been an unknown battle here.

The guy who can smash the [Earth Fission Axe] is definitely an even more terrifying existence.

And Chen Xuan didn't know if there were any other axe blade fragments scattered in the Misty Mountain Range.

Speaking of which, are those markers in the mountains related to the great war of that year?

For all this, Chen Xuan didn't know.

Even Insight can only provide a very limited amount of information.

Because of this, he was looking forward to what was going on inside the Misty Mountains.

The map of the neighborhood was poor, and it came to an abrupt end just a few kilometers before the Misty Canyon.

Mappers were not able to penetrate it in the first place.

But don't worry, the mural map can be a good reference for the rest of the trip.

The exit to the canyon is depicted, as well as the undulating mountain curves, ruins, lakes and caves.

The whole mural map looks blurry, but it can still be used as a reference when carefully recognized.

He briefly explained the situation of the axe blade to the people of the expedition.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They looked at the shards on the rock-socketed ground, their eyes filled with awe.
