The palace has long been in ruins.

Overgrown with weeds, broken walls, and a howling cold wind, it was a desolate place.

The dome has disappeared, the walls have collapsed and fallen to the ground, and the corners are tattered and woven, and only the solemnity of the past can be vaguely seen from the ruins.

The palace occupies not a large area, about dozens of square meters.

There should be a sacred statue inside, but countless stones had been scattered long ago, but there was a stone tablet standing in the middle intact.

The stone tablet is two feet thick, three feet wide, and as tall as a person. It has countless tadpole-like words on it.

This is a ruins.

I don't know what it was used for in the past.

"Click..."

The two stepped into the palace cautiously. The strange sound under their feet made them lower their heads. What they saw made their hearts tremble.

Dry bones!

Corpses!

Torn clothes!

Rotten armor!

Visible to the naked eye, the ash turned from white bones covered the entire hall, even reaching a depth of half a foot. It was unknown how many living creatures were buried.

The rags swayed among the ruins, and could be torn into pieces by the slightest force of the wind. It was obvious that it had lost its toughness after years of abuse.

"Where is this place?" Chen Hui's face turned pale and she subconsciously lowered her voice.

"Who knows?" Zhou Jia shook his head:

"Why don't you exit first?"

There was something strange about this place, and the piles of white bones were even more eerie. Not to mention Chen Hui, even a grown man like him was terrified.

"Um."

Chen Hui had no objection, and the two of them retreated cautiously.

After a while.

The two of them stood in a corner of the palace with gloomy faces.

They tried to leave, but the strange fog not only blocked their sight, but also made people return to the place they came from without even realizing it.

That is to say...

"can not go out!"

Chen Hui sat down on the ground with a look of decadence:

"Forget it, at least there are no monsters here. You don't have to worry about being killed. If you can't get out, you can't get out."

She was very open-minded. As for the corpses in the field, they were nothing to her after the two days of changes.

"Humph!" Zhou Jia hummed, his expression ugly:

"Guess where the corpses and ashes here came from?"

"How did it come about?" Chen Hui asked subconsciously, then her eyes shrank and she said in a trembling voice:

"You can't be... trapped here to death, right?"

Zhou Jia didn't say anything, but his attitude already reflected his answer.

"Then what should we do?" Chen Hui stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards the mist behind:

"I will try again!"

Zhou Jia opened his mouth and shook his head slightly.

There are countless dead bones here, and the ashes can be piled up half a foot, which is so horrifying. One can imagine the number of living creatures that died in this hall.

So many living creatures couldn't escape, why could they?

as expected.

Chen Hui appeared at the door of the palace again, her face pale, her eyes filled with tears, her body trembling, and she collapsed to the ground helplessly.

"I don't want to die!"

"I...I don't want to die yet..."

"Uuuu... Mom and Dad... Uuuu..."

She was only in her twenties, had just graduated from college, and was full of hope for her future life. Death should have been far, far away from her.

now.

After a sudden big change, I finally couldn't bear it anymore. The string in my heart was completely broken. I was confused and helpless, hugging my legs and crying loudly.

"I don't want to either." Zhou Jia squatted on the ground, his eyes also a little blank, and he was not in the mood to comfort him. He felt equally uncomfortable.

for a long time.

Zhou Jia took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to pack his things.

In addition to axes, iron frames and other trophies, as a pathfinder, he also had several bottles of water and some biscuits and food with him.

In addition to what he brought with him, there were also some found from the bodies of Xiao Li and others.

He put the things on the ground and calculated them silently. Even if he lived frugally, they would only be enough for the two of them for three days.

Three days later,

We can only resist!

"Why!"

With a sigh, Zhou Jia stood up and tried to see if he could get out.

The results were as expected.

Return to the main hall again.

After crying, Chen Hui was exhausted and fell asleep. Zhou Jia was not sleepy for the time being, so he simply started searching in the hall.

The dome of the main hall is missing, two of the four walls have collapsed, and the remaining two sides are incomplete, with some strange murals on them.

The style of the mural is different from that of various traditions on earth. It probably depicts a ritual of worshiping heaven.

There are all kinds of strange and strange beasts on it, some of which seem to exist in earth legends, and many more that Zhou Jia has never heard of.

There are still many things in the ruins.

The bones are of different shapes and sizes, obviously not from the same species, and the weapons are mostly decayed, but they are relatively well preserved.

Some strange stones.

Compared with the physical body, these things can withstand the passage of time better.

The best preserved is a hardwood shield.

I don't know whether it's due to the material or the short time, but except for the inner holding part that's a little loose, it's almost intact.

"Huh?"

Among the many ashes, a cloth bag caught Zhou Jia's attention.

Pulling the bag out of the ashes, a somewhat familiar pattern came into view:

"Nanyun University?"

This university is not far from where he works, and its literature department is the most famous, especially ancient literature and language studies.

Look at this bag, it looks like it was made more than ten years ago and is still very strong.

When he opened it, he found a leather diary, a pen without ink, a few coins and a university professor's badge inside.

"Fellow!"

"Song Changchun..."

The pages of the diary have been glued together, and the writing on them is very blurry and can only be vaguely legible, but it still makes Zhou Jia a little excited.

This shows that people have come here as early as more than ten years ago.

If we could get out, we might still be able to find them.

but……

Looking back at the fog that covered the entire hall, Zhou Jia's expression changed, and he finally sighed helplessly.

Professor Song obviously couldn't escape either.

"Crash..."

Zhou Jia carefully opened the diary, which told what happened to Professor Song and his party after they fell into this world.

The experience was similar.
