"The ancient town outlined by the dotted line is larger...could it be said that it is a bigger place than before?"
Xiao Chen had this thought and decided to go to the ancient town and take a closer look.
Some legends may not be credible, but since they are on the map, there must be a reason.
Then, he looked to the west and saw a large red area three hundred miles away.
On it, there are four words marked - red restricted area.
Further west of the red restricted area, there is a red lake with the label "Blood Lake" next to it.
"This is the very edge of no man's land..."
Xiao Chen looked at the location of the blood lake and said softly.
Immediately, he saw a line of small words next to the Blood Lake - all the way west, stop here, forbidden area of the Demon Realm, narrow escape from death.
"The Demonic Domain... refers to the no-man's land, right?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. Grandpa at the front desk, has he been to the Blood Lake?
Or was it his grandfather's grandfather who served as a guide for the ancient warrior and listened to what the ancient warrior said?
"The forbidden area of the Demon Realm is also called the 'no man's land'. It is said that demons live here. Humans are not allowed to enter. If you enter, you will die."
Soon, Xiao Chen saw such words again in the corner of the map.
"Okay, it's no man's land..."
Xiao Chen let out a sigh of relief.
"For ordinary people, it makes sense that there are demons in no man's land..."
About an hour later, the car stopped.
Bai Ye sat in the driver's seat as he wished and stepped on the accelerator.
Along the way, you can occasionally see tents set up on the roadside, obviously they were stationed here last night.
"Why don't they live in Hexi?"
Sun Wugong looked at the tent and asked curiously.
"Haha, maybe I want to experience what it's like to live in the Gobi Desert."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"We've all come here and stayed in a hotel, so naturally it's not as interesting as living here... The yellow sand is the bed, the starry sky is the quilt, and a bonfire is lit at night. It's very exciting."
"Brother Chen, can we enter the no-man's land tonight? If not, do we have to camp too?"
Bai Ye looked at the rearview mirror and asked.
"Well, as we go west from the ancient town, the road becomes harder and our speed will slow down."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"If everything goes well, we can reach the no-man's land tonight. If things don't go well, we may have to camp."
"Anyway, if you have food to eat, it doesn't matter where you live."
Li Hanhou, who was sitting in the back, answered.
"hehe."
Hearing Li Hanhou's words, Xiao Chen and others all laughed.
Half an hour later, I saw the shadow of the ancient town in the distance.
"Coming."
Bai Ye felt refreshed.
"Compared with Hexi, this place is already very desolate, and there are fewer and fewer cars... Did you notice that there were quite a few cars just now, and they have already gone back."
"It's normal. For us, the environment here is not bad, but for ordinary people, it may not be bearable."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"In addition, the introduction brochure said that there are many ferocious beasts here, so the safety is much worse."
"Brother Chen, have you brought oxygen?"
Sun Wugong asked.
"Bring it."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Not only did I bring a portable one, but I also brought an oxygen bottle...I'm not worried about the outside, but worried about the no-man's land. Bring more things, so you're always prepared."
"It's good to have a bone ring."
Bai Ye and others were all envious.
"Brother Chen, how great is this magic weapon?"
"It's not much, it's very precious... However, some big forces still have some treasures in their hands."
Xiao Chen said.
"Brother Chen, each of the brothers has the task of storing magic weapons, but I leave it to you."
Sun Wugong drank wine and patted the wine gourd.
"It would be great if this thing of mine could be turned into a magic weapon for storage."
"Then I guess you're pretending to be drunk and not pretending to be anything else."
"I can go a day without food, but I can't go a day without wine... There is no fun in life without wine."
"There are ancient warriors in that car..."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen looked at a car next to him and said.
"Ancient warrior?"
Bai Ye was so energetic that he even stepped on the brakes to slow down the car.
"Is it a predator?"
"It's hard to say, just keep driving. If you don't provoke us, just leave them alone."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Most of the plunderers are on the Blood Lake side, at least they have reached the ancient town..."
"Speaking of which, they can be regarded as thieves. They rarely attack ordinary people and only pursue the ideas of ancient warriors."
Bai Ye smiled and stepped on the accelerator again.
"Do thieves have their ways? You think too highly of them."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Maybe some people are like this, but most people have no bottom line...
They don't take action against ordinary people because they are afraid of [Dragon King]'s liquidation. Once too many things happen to ordinary people, [Dragon King] will definitely take action, and then the predators as a group will probably not have an easy time."
"They plundered the ancient warriors, and the [Dragon Emperor] would not pay attention to them. But if ordinary people let the [Dragon Emperor] know about it, especially when the matter becomes a big deal and public opinion arouses, then they may be destroyed.
"
"I guess the circle of predators also has its own set of rules, and they are not allowed to attack ordinary people..."
"Of course, there are always some people who, with a lucky mentality, take action against ordinary people...
Otherwise, where do you think the casualties of ordinary people traveling westward come from?
The harsh natural environment and ferocious beasts only account for a small part. The real danger is predators."
"Are you saying that those ordinary people who disappeared might have been killed by looters?"
Chifeng frowned.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Kill him, throw his body in the wilderness, and then be eaten by wild beasts. Who can say that he was killed by someone?"
"..."
Everyone was silent, it was really like this.
"However, as long as they don't leave the ancient town, the danger is not great... If the probability of an accident is high, then no one will dare to come."
Xiao Chen said again.
"There are people from the [Dragon Emperor] in Hexi. Their control over this place should be pretty good."
"Brother Chen, I think Uncle Qi's words make sense. It's time for Longmen to send a group of people over..."
Bai Ye said suddenly.
“With only [Dragon King] and no supervisor, problems can easily arise…
Who can be sure that the people here in [Dragon King] are not colluding with the predators? As long as it is not a big deal, then they can work together to suppress it..."
"Well, I will let people from Kansai come to Hexi first."
Xiao Chen nodded.
“If nothing else, it’s worthwhile to do something for ordinary people...
[Dragon King] does have many problems, and even Mr. Long is well aware of them, but they are hard to get rid of. If he wants to change, it will be difficult even in a short time."
"Fortunately, Mr. Long has done a lot of things, reforming from top to bottom, including arresting and killing all the eight dragons in the capital...
We have to give the [Dragon Emperor] some time so that we can live up to our mistakes. Over the past thousands of years, we have been lucky to have the [Dragon Emperor] guarding China."
"That's true."
Bai Ye nodded.
"Brother Chen, when will we release our breath to attract predators?"
"Don't worry, we'll wait until we get to the ancient town."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and looked at the shadow of the ancient town ahead.
A few minutes later, the two cars stopped, and the ancient town was in sight.
"This town... you can't drive into it."
Xiaodao looked at the ancient town and said.
"It's quite dilapidated and covered by yellow sand..."
"I find that this place has more feeling than the ancient city wall in Hexi."
Sun Wugong is carrying a wine gourd.
"Wait a minute, you guys can help me take some pictures."
"really."
Bai Ye nodded and took out his cell phone.
"Let me share the photo with Mu Yao first."
"Should we go into the ancient town to have a look? Or should we go directly to the west?"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"We have plenty of time and we don't have anything to do, so let's go in and take a look."
Xiao Chen said, took out a small drone from the bone ring and let it fly.
He wanted to use this ancient town to compare the authenticity of the map given to him by the front desk.
"Hello, are you here to have fun? There are quite a few people here."
Someone came over to say hello, wearing a face towel to block the yellow sand.
"Haha, come and take a stroll...are you here to play too?"
When Bai Ye opened his mouth, a gust of wind happened to blow, and he ate a mouth full of sand.
"Heh... bah, bah..."
"Haha, buddy, is this your first time in a place like this? You have to cover your mouth and nose when you come to this place."
The man laughed.
"Otherwise, when you speak, you will easily be filled with rubbish..."
"Well, it's my first time here, so I don't have much experience."
Turn around in the white night, with the wind at your back.
"Where did you drive here from?"
"Come from Dongning..."
As a social cow, Bai Ye can easily strike up conversations with people.
Of course, he also felt the other person's aura, and was sure he was just an ordinary person, not an ancient warrior.
"I heard that this ancient town has grown bigger in the past hundred years..."
The man said.
"Well, we heard about it too, it's a little strange."
Bai Ye nodded.
"It stands to reason that in this windy and sandy land, it should be covered by yellow sand and become smaller and smaller..."
"Yes, because of this, there are many legends...many people are attracted by these legends."
"Haha, I heard that going west is more exciting...Are you planning to go west?"
"No, it's a restricted area. Many people have died there over the years."
The man shook his head, looking a little more serious.
"You want to go west? I advise you not to take risks..."
While Bai Ye was talking to people, Xiao Chen looked over the entire ancient town through the drone.
Didi.
Xiao Chen controlled the drone and began to measure the size of the ancient town.
"This latest military drone is just different. It's so powerful."
Xiao Chen was very satisfied. Although Lao Qin was always paralyzed, he was not stingy.
Soon, he roughly measured the size of the ancient town and several conspicuous landmark buildings.
He took the map and began to compare it.
"There is a problem with the space here..."
Suddenly, Blair said again.
"Huh? There is also a problem with the space here?"
Xiao Chen was surprised. He had felt it when he was in Hexi.
As a result, nothing was found.
How do you feel when you arrive at the ancient town?
Is there a real problem or is it an illusion?
"Let's go into the ancient town and have a look."
Blair nodded.
"You should find something when you go in."
"Okay, I'll go in in a moment."
After a quick comparison, Xiao Chen confirmed the authenticity of the map. At least in the ancient town, it was almost exactly the same.
