During the observation process, Tang Zhen discovered that there were no high-level monks in the city lord's palace, not even the Loucheng monks in the fourth war zone. Only monks from the low-level war zone were stationed.
As for the monks in the fourth theater, they are obviously all in the ruins, hunting monsters to increase their strength.
It's so cold at high places that the top monks in each war zone dare not relax for a moment, otherwise they risk being surpassed.
After all, this is a competition with the same starting point, and all changes are possible. Someone who was originally unknown may suddenly soar into the sky.
The top experts in various war zones are also likely to overturn and be eliminated by accident or unknown people.
If you want to get to the end, you must have the mentality of walking on thin ice and enough luck.
After discovering that the Loucheng monks from the Fourth War Zone were in the ruins, Tang Zhen had some ideas in his mind, but whether he could realize them still needed to enter the ruins.
After the investigation was completed, Tang Zhen returned to Big Beard's house.
Not long after entering the house, the bearded man knocked on the door and brought a wooden box.
Tang Zhen recognized this thing. It was a storage box for weapons and equipment, and every warrior had it in his hand.
The box was obviously new, with a thick layer of paint on it, and it smelled like fresh wood.
It is said that the older the materials used for this kind of item, the better, so as to ensure that they will not be distorted due to drying.
But because of the outbreak of the war, too many people were ordering weapons, so the stores began to cut corners.
As long as the quality of the weapon is guaranteed, it is not unacceptable if the quality of the container is poor.
"Little brother, come and see, these are the weapons and equipment I bought for you in the store, see if they fit!"
While Big Beard was talking, he had already opened the box, revealing the chain armor, long sword wrist guards and other equipment inside.
For a warrior, these are all necessary items. Judging from the quality of these equipment, the price should not be cheap.
This shows that the bearded man attaches great importance to this matter and will never hesitate even if he spends a large amount of money.
Tang Zhen expressed his gratitude, but did not wear it on the spot, but said it would not be too late to try again later.
The bearded man didn't force himself, and after telling Tang Zhen to take a good rest, he closed the door and left.
Early the next morning, Big Beard knocked on the door and saw Tang Zhen, who had gotten up early and was waiting.
"Little brother, let's eat right away and then head to the ruins immediately."
Tang Zhen nodded, picked up the sword that Big Beard had given him yesterday, and headed to the place to eat together.
The bearded children were sitting at the table, eating their meals in silence. When they saw Tang Zhen come in, they nodded and said hello.
They were dressed similar to Tang Zhen, wearing chain mail underneath and short robes outside, looking very neat and tidy.
The purpose of wearing it like this is to pursue flexibility and convenience, so that even if you can't kill the monster, you still have a chance to dodge and escape.
After finishing the meal, everyone took their belongings and took to the streets. At this time, the sky was still a little dark, making people feel a little bit chilly.
Not far along the long street, the blacksmith who came yesterday appeared, followed by a masked woman in black.
Looking at the woman's figure, she was Hu La's lover, the daughter of the city lord.
The woman looked at Tang Zhen, maybe she had been warned by Hu La, so she pretended not to recognize him and secretly saluted him when no one was paying attention.
Tang Zhen chuckled and nodded, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
After the six people met, they immediately walked out of the city without wasting time.
The ruins are some distance away from Mufeng City and must be traveled by water. They were heading to the dock outside the city.
The closer we get to the city gate, the more pedestrians are on the road. By the time we reach the city gate, it has become noisy.
Whether they were merchants, residents, or monks and warriors in the city, they were all gathering at the city gate.
After passing through the crowd, they followed the road under the city wall for some distance, and then turned into the nearby forest.
The pedestrians walking on this road are all teams heading to the ruins. Their strength varies, and there are many ordinary people here.
After they go to the ruins, some lucky ones will become monks, but more than half of the unlucky ones will never return.
But even so, there are still countless people waiting in line, begging for this kind of "death" spot.
During the march, people they knew greeted each other and exchanged combat experiences.
Because they belong to the same camp, there are no conflicts of interest, so they get along very harmoniously.
After walking for about two kilometers, the road suddenly opened up. A large river appeared in front of us, and there was also a simple but huge dock.
There is an oversized raft made of logs moored at the pier, and the monks are lining up to get on it, waiting for the boat to sail when it is full.
If you look carefully at the front of the raft, you will find a dark figure six or seven meters long lurking under the gentle river water.
These black shadows are monsters in the river. After being caught and tamed by the Loucheng monks, they were used as the driving force to drag the raft.
There are monks from Loucheng responsible for driving and driving, so there is no need to worry about any danger, otherwise if the boat capsizes, hundreds of people will become a meal for monsters.
Those who have been doing rafting for a long time are used to it, but the newcomers looked nervous. They didn't know whether they were afraid of the fast river water or the monster pulling the raft.
It didn't take long for the raft to be filled with people, and then the Loucheng monk took out his bone flute and blew out a few syllables softly.
The raft began to move slowly, and soon left the dock, traveling quickly in the wide river.
"It will speed up next, everyone hold on to the handrails to avoid being thrown into the river."
There is no need for the monks in charge of control to remind the newcomers. The experienced monks will remind the newcomers one after another to avoid unnecessary accidents.
Everyone grabbed hold of the crossbar on the raft, and then they saw the scenery on both sides of the river retreat rapidly, and the river water was split by the raft into white waves, and the waves were rippling.
Newcomers who experienced this kind of transportation for the first time felt dizzy. Many simply closed their eyes and their legs could not help but tremble.
There were also monks talking loudly, seeming to enjoy the feeling of riding the wind and waves, and from time to time they would let out a long roar.
After driving rapidly in the river for nearly half an hour, a giant dam full of vicissitudes of life suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
This dam directly blocked the river, and at the same time built nine channels so that the river water could pass through them.
The walls of the dam are covered with strange and mysterious patterns and writings, which have become dilapidated due to the age.
If you observe carefully, you will find that there are many holes specially used for shooting on the giant dam.
Various traces show that this is a purely military building and definitely does not exist to intercept the river.
The newcomers were all shocked by this scene. As for the veterans in the team, they began to talk about the taboos and precautions about dams.
"Look at these nine passages. Although they look exactly the same on the outside, they are actually completely different on the inside.
And among the nine channels, only one channel can pass normally, and it will change every once in a while.
If you don’t know which passage is safe and enter it rashly, you will die without a burial place!”
The newcomers were shocked to hear that the passage was so dangerous, and a series of questions kept popping up.
For example, ask why the ruins suddenly appeared, who built them, and what are they inside?
After learning that the ruins were thousands of years old, the newcomers became more and more shocked. They couldn't understand why those institutions were still functioning normally after such a long time.
Many questions are mysteries, and very few people really know. Most people only know one thing. The ruins were established by an extinct race thousands of years ago.
On the entire raft, only Tang Zhen knew the true origin of this giant dam, and understood that it was built by the race that made the Titan Soldier.
In this world, there are very few people who can interpret the words of the extinct race, and Tang Zhen is one of them.
