"Oh, and also, which sandy place did you go to before? Is that stone slab still there?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Huh? What sand?" The elder thought for a moment.

"You mean 'Shambala'?"

"Yes, that's right there!"

"I won't hide it from you, of course it still exists there! But that place, speaking of it, is a place that only spiritual practitioners like us can enter. It is a ruins, and even spiritual practitioners cannot enter it.

The innermost place is too dangerous. There is also the place where this beast was once suppressed!"

"There are many secrets hidden there - it is the secret realm of us Jidu people." The elder suddenly said seriously.

"Secret realm?"

"Okay, it's getting late. I'll arrange for someone to clean your room. You can stay here for a few more days."

The elder stood up and said.

After Joyner and the others walked out of the temple, they saw Li Qing, who was waiting here according to the elder's instructions.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you are all psychics!" Xiao Wu said to Li Qing who was leading the way.

"Uh! Did the elders tell you? About us?" Li Qing looked a little surprised.

"Elder, what kind of person is she? Why can she live so long?"

"That's the secret of our people. Alas~~How could I know so much?" Li Qing shook his head and sighed.

In this small village, they ate a local delicacy - a roasted whole lamb stuffed with honey, potatoes, raisins, salt, spices and other fruits.

That is the most authentic way of eating for local people in the Guge Mountains, which covers hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

Joyner and the others also helped the villagers collect firewood to make a fire. They saw the villagers carrying a huge fat sheep from the river not far away. It had been slaughtered and skinned and washed in the river.

They wore an iron rod through the sheep, from the neck to the middle of the two hind legs, and then began to load things into the sheep's belly. After loading, they used some iron bars to pass through the cracks to seal it.

After the sheep's belly was cooked, it was roasted on the bonfire.

While they were roasting, they kept pouring a kind of locally brewed strong liquor over the sheep. When the flames came into contact with the sheep, bursts of flames suddenly burst out and lasted for a long time.

Only in this way can the temperature of the lamb be evenly distributed inside and outside, and the heat evaporating in the lamb's belly will soon penetrate into the lamb, and the aroma of the roasted lamb will spread.

The fragrant smell of the mutton was mixed with the honey-salted potatoes, fruits and other foods. The barbecue was still "sizzling" with fat. It was quickly brought to the table, and each person was given a large plate.

This is the best and richest food they have enjoyed in these days.

The hospitality given to them by these hermits was quite extraordinary.

Joyner and the others stayed in the village for one night, and did not say goodbye until noon the next day. Before leaving, a villager quickly ran to their car. It was the elder who had sent someone to deliver a map.

There are a few lonely red circles on the map. Obviously, that is their destination, where spiritual grass grows.

The car started quickly and they drove away from this small village

They didn't know that after they left, the temple they had visited disappeared from the ground, leaving only the village.

This place is actually an outpost of the Jidu civilization on the ground. And those humans who look like villagers are actually sentinels and guards of their clan.

The things these people protect are obviously impossible for outsiders to detect.

————————————————

At this moment, there is a place thousands of kilometers away from Joyner and the others - "Ancient Iron City". On the outskirts of this city, there are two figures on a dilapidated dune vehicle.

These two people were none other than the "Iron Claw Tiger" and the spy who was lurking in Dad's camp and was later rescued by him.

They didn't know where they got a broken car and rushed all the way to the ancient iron city in the central continent.

Along the way, Iron Claw Tiger has already made up his mind - to earn the first pot of gold in his life on the black market of Ancient Iron City!

He made a deal with the spy: first, he would come forward to help him find a buyer on the black market; second, he would recommend him to work under the "Faceless God of War" and hide himself.

Unconsciously, I was living a magical life in the ancient iron city.

Of course, if the deal was completed, he promised to give the spy a large sum of money.

This, of course, made the spy overjoyed. Not only did he escape the fate of being imprisoned, he could also come back here alive and become a rich man. And all he had to do was help find a buyer and recommend that guy to join the gang.

How simple it is to get the best of both worlds.

At this time, Iron Claw Tiger was in the car, touching the weird mask on his chest with his hand, and sticking it tightly to his body, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

He came to the territory of a strange gang and had no one with him except the guy next to him.

He didn't know anyone here. He knew that this was the Central Continent, the Central Continent where gangs gathered! If anything unexpected happened, he doubted whether his life would be decided here.

He was a little scared.

"Hmph! I'm so scared!" He gritted his teeth as he thought about this, and lowered his fist to the car.

"Bang! Dang!"

Iron Claw Tiger himself was startled.

The car door actually fell off and flew away, sending up a cloud of dust behind the car, which frightened the spy who was driving.

"Ah! What did you do to scare me to death?"

"Haha - it's okay, just drive your car. I'm tired of looking at this door."

""The spy was speechless.

Iron Claw Tiger looked at his palm for a long time

"Sure enough, I didn't find this mask in vain. Haha, I've actually become so strong. Humph, let's see who dares to mess with me!" He muttered softly.

"After passing the previous town, we entered the territory of Ancient Iron City. Let's go to that town to have a rest today. I can take you to report to General "Heart" tomorrow morning, and then you will officially join the group.

"

"Okay, you have the final say!"

Iron Claw Tiger nodded casually, that was not what he cared about.

There is a brighter future waiting for him. How could he come all the way here just to be a soldier?

So, their shabby car parked in front of a dirty hotel in the town.

There are very few people on this street, mostly tourists and businessmen passing by.

Looking into the distance from the only street in the entire town, you can see something. The ancient iron city is not far away.

After "Iron Claw Tiger" got off the car, he stared blankly at the thing in the distance.

A huge building like a super giant Ferris wheel can be vaguely seen in the distance.

Although it is dilapidated, you can still feel the glory of this thing from the shadow that blocks the sun.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, this behemoth shimmered with little lights. It was the "falling star ruins" of the ancient iron city. Hundreds of years ago, that extremely huge ruin had another name - it once

It is mankind's first space satellite city "America".

Hundreds of years later, the ancient iron city got its name from this.

It was once a giant fortress with a diameter of 115 kilometers and was shaped like a large top.

In pre-civilization times, its construction is legendary.

It has gone through a long construction process of more than 170 years. Starting from a small International Space Station, it has continued to expand.

In the past 170 years, humans have been continuously transporting building materials to it, and countless aerospace projects have been docked there. Even in the last 30 years, due to the improvement of scientific and technological means, construction has accelerated, and the construction volume is equivalent to all the past

The total amount of construction

Moreover, mankind built the first space elevator in history specifically for it.

Although, after the development of people's science and technology, the construction of new space cities began in other places. However, its status has always been iconic in people's minds because it has too many "first" titles.
