2605 Entering the ruins (1)
As they were talking, a figure suddenly appeared on a platform above the dam.
From his attire, he should be a cultivator from Lou Cheng.
The other party was holding something that looked like a sign with words written on it. He waved it at the cultivators of Lou Cheng who were driving the raft.
...This should be the secret text used by the cultivators of Lou city. Only their own people knew the specific content, and outsiders had no way of knowing it.
After seeing the words on the sign, the cultivator driving the raft played the bone flute and controlled the raft to go straight to the fifth passage.
Everyone suddenly realized that the Lou Cheng cultivator with the wooden token was telling them which passage they could pass through safely.
If one barged into the passage without any guidance, they would end up in a very miserable state.
It didn’t take long for the raft to enter the passage. The water here was gentle and clear, and the echoes kept ringing in their ears.
Some newcomers couldn’t hold back their curiosity and asked the leading cultivator in a low voice, ” what will happen if we go the wrong way? ”
Upon hearing this question, some cultivators sneered and began to describe the scene they had seen.
The ruins didn’t exist in the first place, or perhaps it was because of the cover of some special power that ordinary people couldn’t see this place at all.
After the ruins suddenly appeared, it attracted a large number of adventurers to explore and search for treasures. In the end, they fell while passing through the passage, and those adventurers were all very unlucky.
Each of the nine paths in front of him was a path of life, and each one was a path of death. They were constantly changing.
Adventurers who entered the passage at the wrong time would encounter a drill that suddenly appeared underwater, and they would be stirred up along with their ship.
Only a small number of lucky people managed to enter the ruins, but most of them never returned.
Later on, cultivators from Lou Cheng appeared. It was because of their exploration that they found out the rules of the passage and ensured that they could enter and exit the ruins normally.
While old Niao was explaining, the raft had already passed through the passage, and a Grand and spectacular city appeared in front of them.
This city was much larger than cleansing wind city. There were many tall buildings, and the exterior looked very unique.
The surface of the building was still covered with traces of war. Even after a long time, they had not been erased.
Not long after passing through the passage, the raft stopped on the shore, and a large purple felt-like grass field appeared in front of them.
On this flat and smooth grass, there were moving figures everywhere, as well as countless tents of different sizes.
According to the big-bearded man’s introduction, this was the last stop to enter the ruins. Whether they entered the ruins or left, they had to pass through this camp.
After entering the camp, the newcomers with legal procedures were led by old Niao to line up to go through the procedures to enter the remains.
To cleansing wind city, monsters were not only a threat, but also an important strategic resource.
Anything related to it had to be strictly controlled, and no one was allowed to enter the ruins without permission.
After making a few turns, the bearded man and the others walked towards the edge of the camp. It did not take long for them to arrive at a forest.
He found a mark in the forest and followed it all the way to the bottom of the wall that surrounded the city.
Hula was already waiting there. After seeing Tang Zhen and the others, he immediately made a hand gesture to follow him.
Everyone continued to move forward in silence. However, the road ahead was full of thistles and thorns, making it difficult to walk.
From time to time, he could see weapons and skeletons in the soil, as well as armored puppets and the like. Their surfaces were covered in mud and moss.
The city’s past had not been completely buried. Even after thousands of years, the prosperity and power of the past could still be seen.
The big-bearded man’s son and daughter seemed to be very interested in this scene. Whenever they saw something new, they would subconsciously take a look.
As for the other people in the team, their expressions changed, clearly each having their own thoughts.
After walking for a while, something that looked like a sewer appeared in front of them. This was their destination.
“Walk to the end of the sewer and you’ll be able to enter the inner part of the city. Because the location of the exit is very hidden, no one will notice you.
After you’re done, return along this path and wait for me here. Remember not to run around!”
Hu la warned the big-bearded man and the others. Finally, he secretly glanced at Tang Zhen before retreating to the side.
Time is precious, let’s go!”
The bearded man beckoned to the crowd and walked in front, his children following behind.
“After we enter the ruins, I’ll have to trouble you to help take care of it.”
Tang Zhen walked to the end and suddenly heard Hula’s request.
“If you believe me, tell your woman to stay away from me, the further the better!”
Tang Zhen’s face was expressionless as he spoke in an indifferent tone.
Hu la was startled when he heard this. He was clearly aware of Tang Zhen’s strength. Therefore, he had always been on tenterhooks.
When he heard Tang Zhen’s words, hula felt even more uncertain. He even wanted to call his woman back.
However, hula would not dare to do this in front of Tang Zhen. Once he angered Tang Zhen, none of them would be able to leave alive.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help your woman become a cultivator, and then make her stay as far away from me as possible.
This is a warning, not a threat, do you understand?”
The speed of communication between the two was extremely fast, and it was through consciousness. The big-bearded man and the others beside him did not feel anything at all.
Hula didn’t dare to let his thoughts run wild. He pulled his lover and whispered a few words before sending Tang Zhen and the others off with his eyes.
Soon, they entered the passage. Perhaps because it had been abandoned, it was filled with all kinds of junk.
Especially skeletons, they could be seen everywhere along the way, and there were also long worms crawling around.
The passage was covered with wet and slippery fluorescent moss, so they had to be very careful when walking.
After walking for about three kilometers, there was light in front of them. It was obviously the exit of the sewer.
“Be careful, everyone. Remember to listen to my orders and don’t act on your own.
I suggest you bite something in your mouth to avoid screaming when you encounter monsters. This will attract more monsters or cultivators.”
As he spoke, the big-bearded man crawled out first and carefully surveyed the surrounding environment.
After about a minute, big Beard’s voice was heard again, indicating that there was no danger around.
Everyone climbed up one by one and found that they were in a Park in the middle of the street, surrounded by damaged sculptures.
The colorful flowers and plants were unusually lush, almost covering everything, including the pavilion they were in.
The bearded man and the blacksmith gathered together to study how to walk because they were not familiar with the area.
They had to make good use of their time to help the three awaken their superpowers and then leave this dangerous place.
The two sisters and Hula’s lover were looking around. Other than vigilance in their eyes, there was also a trace of surprise.
Only Tang Zhen frowned slightly. His eyes swept over everyone who was completely ignorant of the danger and gently shook his head.
After all, they were two cultivators who had become monks halfway through their cultivation. Even if they had mastered extraordinary powers, they still lacked experience and the perception of danger.
If it wasn’t for Tang Zhen following them, they might have become delicious food for the monsters the moment they entered the remains.
