Exploration is to explore an object or area, and within the skill level, you can find hidden structures, valuable items, traps, and other anomalies in it.

As a support skill, it can't be used in combat, but in such a large-scale ruin, it's extremely useful, and at least it can be compared to avoiding the regret of making a mistake.

"Escalation probing. ”

[You have consumed 10,000 exploration points, and your exploration technique has been upgraded to level 2!]

"Escalation probing. ”

[You have consumed 1 million exploration points, and your exploration technique has been upgraded to level 3!]

"Upgrade the acquisition. ”

[You have consumed 10,000 exploration points, and the gathering technique has been upgraded to level 2!]

"Upgrade the acquisition. ”

[You have consumed 1,000,000 exploration points, and the gathering technique has been upgraded to level 3!]

Immediately afterwards, Wang Ming issued instructions one after another, directly raising the exploration technique, as well as the previous collection technique, to level 3 in one go.

Wang Ming now has a full 700 million exploration points, and it only takes one million to upgrade his auxiliary skills to level 3, so he doesn't need to think about it at all, maybe this is the so-called wealth.

After upgrading the skill, look at the personal page at this time.

【Wang Ming】

"Automatic probing, not a single tile will be spared!"

After an overall improvement, Wang Ming activated the detection skill.

Slightly different from other skills, probing is divided into two modes of operation: automatic and manual. Auto-skills need to be set to a range, and manual probing is directed at an object or area.

Wang Ming set the scope to the entire city ruins, from left to right, from the outside to the inside, one by one.

Depending on the complexity of a building, it only takes 1 to 10 seconds to explore. I have to say that compared with rummaging by myself, not only can I avoid omissions, but also greatly improve my efficiency.

"It's still not smart enough. ”

But unfortunately, the probe originated from Wang Ming, so when using skills, you must ensure that the probing area is within the field of vision. In this way, although he can search quickly, Wang Ming can't do other things separately.

At this time, I have to say that the ruins of this city are too big, and even if there are skills to help search, it will be a time-consuming process. Wang Ming has to follow the skill all the time, which is really a boring thing.

Fortunately, the system prompts that sound from time to time add many surprises to this boring process.

[Discover a cellar.] 】

Under a piece of broken brick and tile, there was a secret door, and when it was opened, there was a cellar.

[Discover some alcohol.] 】

This is a secret wine cellar with dozens of jars of wine. When Wang Ming opened the secret door, it took thousands of years for these fine wines to see the light of day.

Picked up a jar, wiped off the dust on the surface, and patted open the mud seal, but what Wang Ming didn't expect was that it was empty! Wang Ming was surprised, and opened seven or eight jars in a row, only to find that one jar contained wine.

It's not that it's an empty jar in the first place, but it's been too long, and the seal is a little worse, and the wine inside has been volatilized. Only a few jars that are really completely sealed will keep the wine.

When the mud seal is opened, the whole cellar is filled with the aroma of wine. Wang Ming took a look, after thousands of years, the wine inside was already translucent gelatinous.

"Identification!"

[6,000 years of wine: Originally an ordinary wine, after 6,000 years of cellaring, it has become a fine wine comparable to elixir. 】

“...... Six thousand years!"

Looking at the identification information, Wang Ming's face was full of shock. Not simply because of the vintage, but because it shows that the ruins have been abandoned for almost 6,000 years!

"...... 6,000 Years Ago"

Looking at the ruins again, Wang Ming couldn't help but feel a little confused. Six thousand years in the blink of an eye, what a grand world this is.

After some emotion, he put all the sealed wine into the inventory, exactly ten jars.

Wang Ming returned to the ground and continued to search and explore.

[Found a pile of bone coins.] 】

In an unknown place, under a stone counter, there is a pile of bone coins. Wang Ming glanced at it roughly, there were at least a few thousand.

Bone Coin is the common currency of Hornhorn City, and it seems to be made from the bones of some kind of monster. Strange to say, 6,000 years later, the steel has been rusted, but the pile of bone coins is still as good as new.

Putting away the bone coin, Wang Ming couldn't help but wonder for a while, what kind of demon beast's bones are this, which can withstand the wear and tear of time.

[Found a dark grid.] 】

A building with only one wall left, this seemingly ordinary wall, actually hides a dark grid. But alas, the contents have been corrupted into ashes.

Wang Ming looked at the traces, it seemed to be a book, most likely a martial arts.

Although martial arts are good, what can be recorded through writing can only be the Yellow Rank. With Wang Ming's current vision, he already looks down on Huang-level martial arts, and he is not too pity.

In the process of probing and searching, time passes minute by minute, and before you know it, it is a day. As night fell, Wang Ming stopped exploring and went back to the forest tree hole to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and when it was dawn, starting from the place where we stopped yesterday, we continued to explore and search from left to right, from outside to inside.

Day after day, this is more than ten days.

In the past ten days, Wang Ming has explored the peripheral markets of waste one by one!

Although it took a long time, it was also extremely rewarding.

Not to mention a large number of bone coins and fine wine, which can be preserved. There are as many as seventy-three martial arts recorded on stone tablets alone!

From the lower grade of the Yellow Order to the best of the Yellow Order, from the exercises to the martial arts, from the fists and feet to the equipment, it can be said that it is all-encompassing.

One of the exercises, Wang Ming cultivated the mountain trick of the middle grade of the ground level, so naturally there was no need to replace the yellow rank. But martial arts are not too much.

Just looking at the best of the Yellow Order, Wang Ming picked and chose a defensive martial art called 'Eight Door Lock Pass' and a sword technique called 'Bleak Wind and Bitter Rain'.

The martial arts practiced by Wang Ming, the Demon King Fist is an offensive martial art, and as the best of the Xuan rank, it naturally does not need to be replaced. Qinghong Piercing the Clouds belongs to the light body martial arts, and the Yellow Order is the best, and there is no need to replace it.

Only Shanmen Boxing, the lower grade of the Yellow Order, has some deficiencies, so I chose the 'Eight Door Lock Pass' of the best grade of the Yellow Rank to replace it.

As for the choice of swordsmanship, one is the yearning for the ancient swordsman, and the other is that there is a weapon in his hand, which has some advantages.

"It's shorter. ”

Taking out the Xuantie short sword from the inventory, Wang Ming frowned slightly. Although the sword is sharp, it is slightly short, and it is not very handy. There is no good sword at the moment, so I can only use it temporarily.

"Go ahead. ”

After sorting out the harvest of the past few days, Wang Ming got up and prepared to continue exploring.

At this time, looking at the area in front of me, I couldn't help but feel excited again.

This ruin, like the Horn City, has a clear division of the city. The outer areas that Wang Ming explored were all market stores. The inner area in front of you is where the residents live.

Just imagine, if there is something good, who will put it in the store, naturally it is hidden at home!

So for the next area, Wang Ming can't help but have greater expectations.

Bang!

"Huh?"

Wang Ming walked forward and was about to enter the internal area. But just after taking two steps, there was a sudden muffled sound, as if hitting a wall of air, and it was directly bounced back!

"It's ......"

Wang Ming's eyes widened, and then he tried again, and an invisible force pushed him back, and it turned out to be the same situation as before!
