Chapter 356: Rain Ruins

On the way along the way, Shen Shi found a lot of relics left by the "forest people" in this primeval rainforest, most of which were made of white stones that looked ordinary but were indeed hard enough, as for the things, there were many kinds of stone pillars, stone statues, stone paths and some stone utensils that could occasionally be seen, which made people feel that the forest people seemed to like this white stone very much.

Of course, it may also be because only this white stone is not easy to decay in this humid rainforest.

Along the way, Shen Shi saw large and small ruins, but when he saw the rain ruins for the first time, he still recognized them directly, even if he had never come to the depths of this primeval jungle before, and he had never seen the true face of the rain ruins.

Because the rain ruins are different.

In this vast primeval rainforest, Shen Shi saw for the first time a stone platform that was taller than a big tree, and there was more than one, although from a distance, most of the stone platforms had already been full of vicissitudes and old moss, and looked dilapidated, but more than a dozen tall stone platforms and larger areas of ruined stone buildings can be seen everywhere, all of which make people feel that in ancient times, there should be a spectacular and prosperous city here, which is completely different from those single small ruins seen along the way.

The ancient but abandoned city stood silently in the depths of this dense forest, and the rain still fell from the hazy sky, making the vast ruins look a little blurred. Shen Shi looked at it for a while, then jumped off the tree and slowly walked towards this rain ruin that I don't know how many years old.

The surroundings were quiet, with neither beast roars nor sounds, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet, and the many dangers along the way, including all kinds of powerful demon beasts, deadly poisonous insects, and those strange and strange plants, were enough to keep most of the scattered cultivators out of the rain ruins.

Probably about ten zhang away from the outermost building near the rain ruins, Shen Shi found that the terrain here was somewhat changing, undulating, and there were even deep ditches in some places, the drop was not small, and at the same time, because of the dampness, the bottom of the ditch could be seen everywhere to gather puddles.

The drops of water falling from the tops of the trees, ticking down on those puddles, make a low sound that echoes in this quiet rainforest, and it seems strange. Shen Shi glanced at these places, and soon found that these sunken and undulating ravines seemed to be still very long, extending to both sides, and then they were quickly blocked by dense green branches and leaves, and he didn't know how many such places there were.

He thought about it for a while, and without careful investigation, he still crossed this row of deep ditches in a few jumps and continued to walk towards the rain ruins.

After this section of the ravine, the path quickly returned to flattening, and then Shen Shi saw the white buildings in the rain ruins come into view. Seeing the huge buildings that appeared here in the distance, including the dozen or so tall stone platforms, it was already very spectacular, and after getting closer, Shen Shi was under those tall stone platforms, and he had an illusion of his own insignificance, and it was in this strange feeling that he walked into this rain ruin.

The area of the rain ruins is large, but because it has been abandoned for many years, it has long been desolate and has become a paradise for monsters and plants in the rainforest. Large and small trees can be seen in the rain ruins, lush and green look gratifying, and all kinds of vines and moss can also be seen everywhere, and in many places you can clearly see that they were originally paved with stones, but they were turned up by the vigorous and tenacious grass and trees, and a piece of green grew out of the cracks.

However, compared to the dense real rainforest outside the rain ruins, the density of trees in the rain ruins is still much sparse, so Shen Shi rarely walked on the flat ground in a more comfortable posture for the first time in this period of time, observing the surrounding situation.

What he saw at the moment, of course, was only a small corner of the rain ruins, and the abandoned city looked like it was sleeping, everything was silent, including the crumbling houses and the fallen stone statues, it seemed as if they were asleep. Pavilions and pavilions, it seems that they all have them, Shen Shi even saw a well, a group of emerald birds flew here from the forest next to them, chirping and landing on the flat ground, jumping and pecking as if no one was around, looking for their own food.

Not far ahead, there was a high platform, and Shen Shi's gaze quickly fell on it. The whole tall stone platform seems to be made of that kind of white stone, and the highest point is at least 20 zhang above the ground, boxy, and gradually shrinks from the bottom to the top, giving people a very thick feeling.

Shen Shi got closer, and was surprised to find that most of the white stones on the stone platform were made of extremely huge whole stones, and the stone seams were tightly fitted, and I don't know what method was used to make it so perfect. After staring at the high platform built by these huge stones for a while, Shen Shi suddenly frowned, but he thought of a problem that he had ignored before.

There are a lot of forest ruins seen along the way, plus the rain ruins in front of you, countless white stones are used, but where did these stones come from?

Along the way, at least in the areas that Shen Shi passed through, most of the alder realm was flat, with occasional hills, almost no large mountain ranges, and dense forests, so I hadn't seen any places where these white stones were produced. In the early days, how did those foresters find so many stones and build such a magnificent city in the rainforest?

Shen Shi's thoughts were spinning in his heart, but he did not stagnate under his feet, but walked around this high platform for half a circle, and soon found the entrance to this high platform under another boulder wall behind the corner in front of him.

However, it is a little reluctant to say that it is the entrance, but I can vaguely see the location of the hole that was opened up before, but now there is a large piece of stone at the entrance position, which has almost completely blocked the entrance, leaving only a few black gaps, and there seems to be a gust of cold wind blowing out.

Shen Shi frowned, glanced over there, and walked over and continued to walk towards the depths of the rain ruins.

Far away from Shen Shi, on the other side of the rain ruins, there is also a quiet drizzle scene, the forest is secluded, and the ruins are silent. Suddenly, a strange cry came from the woods at the edge of the ruins, then a churning sound, and after a while, the sound fell silent, and then a white figure staggered out of a bush.

It was a fox, and it looked very embarrassed, soaking wet, and there were a lot of grass and dead leaves and dirt sticking to its body, and it looked like it had rolled around in a mud puddle, and even its original very beautiful white fur had turned an ugly gray. But the strangest thing is that the fox's belly is strangely bulging, and it is round and bulging like a small ball, which looks a little funny.

The fox looked very tired, and after walking a few steps, he lay down on a rock, and lay on the ground weakly, and then gasped for breath, and his eyes swept over the white rain ruins in front of him, and his eyes seemed to be a little dazed.
