While traveling in the ruins paradise, they saw a lot of tourists.
It's just that almost 70% of these tourists went to the underground area. Although the remaining handful were still in the surface area, almost all of them went to the dog fighting ring.
The battlefields, shooting ranges and arenas are almost all in ruins.
As for the reasons, as far as Angel knows, most of them are due to external competition.
The Wandering House has opened a "simulated arena" in Town 8, which is located under Tomb Street and is an indoor arena. But it covers a large area, and there are not only individual competitions, but also team competitions.
The ruined battlefield is actually a kind of "team competition", which is a real-person combat battle.
When the Wandering House opened a simulated arena, it naturally formed a competitive relationship with the ruined battlefield.
Although the ruins battlefield is just a "name", it lives up to its name. It is a ruins with almost no high-tech means.
Even contact requires shouting, and scheduling depends entirely on the eyes. Whether you have successfully "killed" the enemy can only be known after the attack is over to see if the opponent's body is contaminated with ammunition paint.
Everything is extremely primitive.
This is not the case in the "Simulated Arena". Not only is it large in scope, it can also simulate various scenes through holographic projection.
Each participant will get a holographic map after entering, and this map also marks the location of one's own personnel and the number of enemies.
Battle scheduling can also be carried out through special liaison devices set up in the arena.
The most important thing is that there is a kill list above the simulated arena that everyone can see. Whenever someone successfully "kills" an enemy member, the kill list will be displayed immediately.
Obviously, there are dispatchers in the arena who have an overview of the whole situation and can analyze the battle results in different areas in real time.
In this way, there will no longer be questions such as "were there any kills?" and "whose number of kills will be counted?"
Facing such a simulated arena full of high-tech, it would be natural for the people of the Eighth Town to abandon the primitive ruined battlefield.
Of course, there are also people who like this original style.
But the support of one or two people cannot keep the ruins battlefield going.
In short, whether it is individual competition, team competition, or even shooting-related events, the first thing that everyone thinks of is "simulated arena".
Firstly, the supervision of the homeless house is guaranteed. Secondly, the enjoyment of high-end equipment is definitely much better than being a primitive person.
This resulted in all the "competition" related aspects of the Ruin Paradise being lost.
Except...dog fighting rings.
But the dog fighting ring has not declined, it is mainly related to gambling.
As for the underground area of the ruined paradise, it is definitely impossible to decline. It is even getting bigger and bigger. Even the magician from the wandering house will occasionally come to enjoy special services.
While Angel was thinking about the ruined battlefield, they had already passed through the collapsed buildings and arrived at a relatively flat area, which could also be called a "plain".
And here is the "ruined battlefield"!
The entire ruined battlefield is surrounded by an iron fence of thorns. It was a fence set up to prevent outsiders from entering when the place was still hot.
But now, although this thorn fence is still there, most of the area is broken.
Not far from them, there is a broken gap that can be stepped directly into.
After stepping into the ruins of the battlefield, you are greeted by a tattered wall.
Although most of this place is plain, there are some buildings that are not rotten, such as the dilapidated wall in front.
Angel glanced at the wall from a distance and said silently: "Go around."
At first, Gleipnir was a little strange. Didn't Angel say before that the ceremony location could be reached by walking straight ahead, so why did he suddenly have to go around it?
When she walked around to one side and looked in the direction of the ruins wall with her peripheral vision, she understood immediately.
A hot girl wearing a leather jacket and holding a whip in her hand was sitting on a high ruined wall; and directly below her, there was a man wearing a full black rubber coat, kneeling on all fours, with a rope tied around his neck.
Dog leash.
Gleipnir: "..."
Have fun.
Angel walked forward and said softly: "As far as I know, the ruins of the battlefield are not completely deserted. Occasionally, some guests in the underground area have special tastes and like role-playing. They will choose some open-air environments, but they are afraid of being exposed.
If you see it, you will come to the ruined battlefield."
After all, everyone knows that the ruined battlefield is deserted, empty and deserted.
"Occasionally, people from the dog fighting ring will be sent over to fight dogs in the open air."
After a pause, Angel continued: "There is a creature called an undercurrent dog near the ceremony place I chose. They are not dogs in a dog fighting ring, but when they appear here, they are dogs being fought.
Attracted by the aura generated at that time.”
Fighting dogs are very ferocious and have strong breaths, which can easily attract some dogs in estrus.
Undercurrent Dogs are attracted by this.
"Undercurrent Hounds?" Gleipnir: "Will they have any impact on the ritual?"
Angel: "Just drive them away before the ceremony."
Undercurrent dogs are a kind of water dog. They are afraid of light and like to live in dark underground water. There happens to be a water hole in the cellar. When the time comes, just drive the undercurrent dog down and cover the hole.
Although Graipnir didn't know the specific situation, she believed in Angel's judgment.
It didn't take long for them to reach the top of the cellar.
They didn't meet anyone else along the way. The man and woman at the beginning of the ruined battlefield seemed to be just an accident.
The location of the cellar is also a dilapidated ruin, but the walls are even more dilapidated than the previous ruins. There is not even a wall here, and only some ground piles less than half the height can be seen.
The cellar is under a rubble of ruins.
It is precisely because it is held down by the broken stones of the ruins that no one has been here for many years, making this cellar suitable for holding ceremonies.
After using his magic hand to clear away the surrounding rubble, Angel pushed open the stone lid covering the cellar.
As the lid moved away, a moldy and rotten smell came from below.
If you listen carefully, you can also hear several low and distant barks of dogs, as well as the sound of rustling water.
They waited at the entrance of the cellar for a while, and after the breath had dissipated, they followed the nearly vertical ladder to the bottom of the cellar.
This cellar is relatively large, with several dug-out compartments.
The whole place is relatively open, but the ground is very moist. Even if there is no "light" around, Gleipnir can already smell the rich water vapor on the ground.
At this moment, Gleipnir suddenly heard Angel's voice ringing in his ears.
"You let go of your thoughts first, and I will project the surrounding situation into your thinking space."
Gleipnir did not ask Angel what he wanted to do, but nodded.
Soon, she felt that an illusion node was integrated into the center of her eyebrows.
As soon as the illusion node entered the thinking space, it immediately turned into an illusion projection.
What the projection shows is the current real-time image of the cellar, and even the "first perspective" of this real-time image is Gleipnir himself.
In other words, even if Gleipnir does not open her eyes at this time, she can come and go freely in the cellar through the projection in her thinking space.
"I have talked with Xiaolu before. Since the ceremony location needs to be 'in the dark', it is best not to be exposed to light before the ceremony starts."
"And if there is to be light here, it can only be the light from the 'Sacrifice of Light'."
In other words, before the ceremony starts, the place must remain dark for a long time.
Angel didn't care whether the surroundings were dark or not, because he had a God's perspective; but Graipnir couldn't, so Angel found another way and directly projected the situation in the cellar into Graipnir's mind through illusion.
middle.
Moreover, this illusion changes and updates in real time, which allows Gleipnir to act here without any problems even if he closes his eyes.
"If a little light doesn't work, it's best to close the cellar lid as well." Gleipnir said.
Angel: "It's already covered."
Although Gleipnir did not open her eyes, she subconsciously raised her head. And the projection of her thinking space also showed the perspective of raising her head.
Looking from this perspective, sure enough, the cellar lid has been re-closed.
Gleipnir opened his eyes and looked again, well... he couldn't see anything.
Only by closing your eyes and using the projection of your thinking space can you see the surrounding environment clearly...
"Can you adapt to this?" Angel said, "If not, I will arrange the rituals here."
Although this ceremony is relatively simple, the proper rituals must still be in place.
Including the ritual process, the arrangement of ritual props, the decoration of the ritual location, the positions of the ritual personnel...etc., these are all included.
Gleipnir shook his head: "No need."
"Although it feels a bit strange, I can adapt to it." Gleipnir said, directly removing a long strip of cloth from his cloak, closing his eyes tightly, and covering himself with the cloth.
In this way, she can move purely by intracranial vision.
Gleipnir probably got used to it for about a minute, and moved around a small area in the compartment. After confirming that there was no problem, he said to Angel: "Okay, I can 'see' now."
Angel: "If we can see it, we'll go in."
The place they were in was just a small cubicle, with a door in front of it. After opening it, there was a deeper part of the cellar.
However, more than half of this door was broken, and a hole was chewed out underneath.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should have been eaten by the undercurrent dogs living here.
"After I closed my eyes, my hearing became more acute." Gleipnir paused: "I seemed to hear a dog barking, on the left."
Angel pushed open the broken wooden door.
There is a very narrow dirt road outside, with two compartments on the left and one on the right.
The one on the right is larger and more airtight.
That was the ceremony location chosen by Angel.
As for the two compartments on the left, the door of one of the compartments was not closed, and a dark shadow came out and rushed towards Gleipnir.
If Graipnir was observing with the naked eye at this time, he would definitely not be able to see anything. But during Angel's full intracranial vision live broadcast, she could clearly see the appearance of this black shadow.
Overall, it looks like a thin purple-black dog, but the eyes have completely degenerated, leaving only one eye socket and mung bean eyes not much bigger than a grain of rice.
But its mouth became larger and full of sharp teeth.
There are two sharp teeth among them, which have become "tusks", like wild boar's tusks, turned to both sides.
However, wild boar tusks will not hurt its mouth.
The two huge fangs of this thin dog pierced directly through the walls of the mouth, looking extremely terrifying.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is an undercurrent dog that lives underwater all year round.
This undercurrent dog was extremely ferocious. It pounced and bit Gleipnir directly on the neck. It was obvious that he regarded Gleipnir as prey.
However, Gleipnir is not a vegetarian either.
Although there is no single strength in the Dream Crystal Plains, it is still very easy to deal with these unintelligent beasts.
I saw her tiptoeing, turning at a very unscientific angle, and then disappeared from the undercurrent dog's locked field of vision.
The undercurrent dog's beastly instinct made it feel that something was not right.
But it was now in mid-air and couldn't move at all. Even if it twisted around, it could only twist slightly.
Just when the Undercurrent Dog was impatiently trying to land, a crutch struck the Undercurrent Dog on the head like a thunderbolt.
With the sound of "bang", the undercurrent dog was stunned and grabbed the ground with its head.
Stirring up waves of dust.
After the dust settled, Undercurrent Dog whimpered and could no longer get up.
But it's not dead yet, it just fainted.
Originally, Gleipnir wanted to kill the Undercurrent Dog and targeted its waist, but he thought that the ceremony would be carried out soon.
"Blood" and "death" represent very important symbols in any ritual.
There is a huge difference between a ritual that sees blood and a ritual that does not see blood.
In order to avoid deviations in the ritual due to "blood" and "death", Gleipnir finally changed the target of his attack from the "bean curd waist" to the "copper head" of the undercurrent dog.
Hitting the head will make you stunned without bleeding.
Gleipnir's scale is very good.
However, before Gleipnir could recover, several more wind sounds appeared from behind.
The intracranial field of vision can rotate 360 degrees, and she can clearly see that four more dogs attacked from behind, three of them pounced on her, and the other attacked in Angel's direction.
The three dogs that pounced on her all aimed at her aorta.
The dog that pounced on Angel was just fighting with Angel.
Obviously, these undercurrent dogs also have a division of labor. They attack the "old and weak" first, and when the "old and weak" are gone, they can attack the only young and middle-aged man together.
If this tactic is faced by other people, there is still a chance of victory.
But facing them is meaningless.
Angel's foot was lightly touched, and the sound touched the surrounding illusion nodes, and an invisible wave of air quickly spread.
Whether it was the undercurrent dog that was dealing with Angel or the three undercurrent dogs that pounced on Gleipnir, they all froze under the air waves.
The next second, like the frozen rain, they all staggered and fainted to the ground.
