"800-year-old shop...... Baibao Lou ...... Sledgehammer Blacksmith ......"

Turn on the stealth technique, calmly pass by the demon beast, and walk among the ruins. Looking at some buildings that had not collapsed, as well as the remaining signboards and the like, Wang Ming couldn't help frowning slightly.

After turning around, he simply climbed up a section of the city wall that had not collapsed, and looked down at the entire ruins.

"Sure enough!"

Looking down at the entire ruins, although he had already guessed, Wang Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Not only is this city similar in scale to Hornhorn City, but even the layout is extremely similar!

Despite its large scale, Hornhorn City can be roughly divided into three levels. The outer area is a market where commercial activities are carried out. The inner area belongs to the square area where the people live. There is also the core area, the castle lord's mansion, and the location of the altar.

Looking down from a high place, this abandoned city is obviously divided according to the city. As for whether the core has a city lord's mansion and an altar, it is not true for the time being.

"Does it really matter?"

Previously, although it was speculated that the two cities were related, they were too far apart, so the idea was dismissed.

But looking at the same structure at this time, Wang Ming couldn't help but reconsider this issue.

As far as Wang Ming knows, each village has a population limit, once the load is exceeded. The surplus will leave the village and venture into the wilderness in search of a suitable place to establish a new village.

Although a city is more than a thousand times larger than a village, the same is true.

Wang Ming couldn't help but wonder if this abandoned city and Horn City also had this kind of inheritance relationship?

The same scale, the same structure, if not 'father and son', at least 'brothers'.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

This is just speculation, and it has no practical meaning for the time being. Wang Ming smiled at the corner of his mouth, then jumped off the city wall and continued to walk through the ruins.

"Skull ......"

Walking among the ruins, in addition to the ruins full of broken walls, you can see some bones from time to time.

Unlike the previous Xuantie tribe, they were attacked by demon beasts, and although most of the bones were incomplete, at least they could see a human form. In this ruin, there are no complete bones, and they are basically broken bones.

Judging by the degree of wear and tear of these bones, combined with the traces of ruins around it, this city has been abandoned for at least two or three thousand years!

"Is it also a monster......

The damage to the city was severe, but if it was a natural disaster, it would not have been possible to kill so many people. And natural disasters will always pass, and those who survive the catastrophe can rebuild their homes here.

But the survivors have moved away, and such a majestic city has been abandoned here. It can be speculated that it should also be attacked by demon beasts, and according to the degree of damage to the city wall, it is still an extremely powerful demon beast.

Similar to the male city of Horn City, is this city not protected by demon gods? Or, the demon beasts that destroy this city are still stronger than their demon gods, so they are not afraid of its breath.

"Hornhorn ......"

Wang Ming couldn't help but think of Horn City, maybe one day, a demon beast more powerful than the Hercules King suddenly appeared, and he stomped his feet casually, and Hornhorn City was destroyed.

"Sure enough. ”

Thinking of this, Wang Ming was worried again. Sure enough, in this wilderness, there is no safety at all, and there is no safe zone that truly belongs to the human race.

If you want to be truly safe, you can only keep improving your cultivation, and when you are stronger than all demon beasts, then you will be safe!

"Here ......"

Re-establish your faith, get rid of those chaotic thoughts, and focus on the city in front of you.

Such a large city, even if it has become a ruin, there must be good things in it.

In particular, this city was destroyed by demon beasts, and you can imagine how panicked the people in the city were at the beginning. They are all running for their lives, and they don't have time to pack their things.

"I don't know what ...... is"

Wang Ming was excited for a while, and then walked into a building, the signboard carved on the stone tablet had been broken into several pieces, but it could be roughly seen that it was a blacksmith shop.

At the beginning, in the ruins of the Xuantie tribe, you can find a Xuantie short sword, which can be a male city similar to Horn City, maybe there are some divine weapons left.

"Okay......"

But after a while, Wang Ming walked out and couldn't help but look embarrassed. Nothing but a stone furnace, not even a single iron slag!

Come to think of it, after such a long time, even if it is a sharp weapon of refined steel, it has long been corroded.

"What about this......

Too much time has passed, and the ruins are full of demon beasts, and the demon beasts are irritable, and the destruction of this place is becoming more and more unsightly.

So although the ruins are large, most of the buildings have collapsed or even been flattened. Wang Ming only picked some that had not collapsed yet, and went in to look for them.

After all, if it has been standing for so long, it shows that this is not an ordinary place.

"There is no ...... either"

But unfortunately, I searched for more than a dozen houses in a row, but still found nothing.

And unconsciously, the sky had completely darkened, Wang Ming frowned, and left the ruins temporarily.

The ruins are full of demon beasts, although they are sneaking, who knows if there is a powerful existence above the physical realm. For the sake of safety, Wang Ming retreated to the forest next to the ruins. As usual, spend the night in a huge tree hollow.

Early the next morning, Wang Ming walked out of the tree hole and came to the ruins again.

"It's not going to go on like this......"

After thousands of years of erosion, as well as the destruction of demon beasts, nine out of ten ordinary buildings in the ruins have collapsed. The rest of the ones are basically just one or two walls still standing.

Even those sturdy special buildings, such a large city, there are a lot of them. Relying on Wang Ming alone, searching one by one, when will the search be completed?

And since it is a treasure that can withstand thousands of years of erosion, it is impossible to put it on the surface, and it is likely to be hidden in some hidden places.

Besides, even if those buildings have been leveled, who dares to guarantee that there are no good things buried under the broken bricks and tiles?

"I ......"

In my previous life, as an otaku, I played various games, but I especially liked some older RPG games, and I couldn't help but develop an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Once you encounter a dungeon, be sure to walk through all areas, clean up all monsters, and open all treasure chests, but only a single blade of grass.

If you enter some villages and cities, you have to search every jar and cupboard to see if you can find gold coins, medicines, equipment, and other things.

As for NPCs, be sure to talk to one side so as not to miss useful information or side plots.

"It's ...... Over"

Standing in the ruins, Wang Ming couldn't help but feel that even if he let go of every brick and tile, he felt that he was wrong. But this is a male city similar to Horn City, if you search it all, only Wang Ming alone, what years and months will you have to search?

"No! I can't take it!"

Wang Ming gritted his teeth, there was no way, just open the system.

Each area explored with a side length of 1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters, 100 meters, 10,000 meters, and 10,000 meters can obtain a support skill slot. So far, Wang Ming has obtained a total of five support skill slots, four of which have been used, and one vacancy.

"Learn to explore!"

Glancing at the huge ruins again, Wang Ming gritted his teeth and gave an order.
