Liuman seemed to see his doubts and explained: "In the past, there have been incidents where the Fallen sneaked into the ruins and assassinated explorers everywhere, causing great chaos and causing many casualties."
"Since then, once any ruins are discovered, the army will immediately take over, take control of them, and strictly check all people entering and exiting to prevent similar things from happening again."
"In addition, this can also prevent the fallen from obtaining the treasures in the ruins and increasing their strength."
Lin Ze suddenly nodded.
Liu Man's last words reminded him of the crying flesh and blood he encountered in the Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Insects.
Isn't this new breed of demon pet beast what Hongyue will get from the ruins?
Then they used it to carry out terrorist operations, and they almost succeeded.
If Lin Ze and Ye Fujing hadn't accidentally destroyed the Red Moon Society's conspiracy, the consequences would have been disastrous.
From this point of view, it is indeed necessary for the military to garrison the ruins.
"In that case, Aning, you and Xinyi should stay in the city."
Lin Ze said to Guan Ning and the other two.
The two girls looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
At this time, Gu Lengyan suddenly said: "I'll stay too."
Everyone looked at her in astonishment.
Gu Lengyan took a sip of her drink and said calmly: "I want to go to the Municipal Library in Luo'an City to take a look. I heard that there are many materials from the Cataclysm Era collected there."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, but they weren't too surprised.
Gu Lengyan likes reading books more than taking risks, so it's not surprising that she has this idea.
Guan Ning and Guo Xinyi then thought about it and decided to follow Gu Lengyan to the municipal library to have a look.
Lin Ze felt confident and felt relieved.
After all, Guan Ning and Guo Xinyi are still too young and do not have much experience in traveling abroad.
Suddenly arriving in a completely unfamiliar city, with just the two of them, Lin Ze was still a little worried.
Although Gu Lengyan is only one year older than Guan Ning and Guo Xinyi, she has experience in traveling to other cities in the past.
Having Gu Lengyan take care of them is undoubtedly more reassuring.
After discussing the arrangements for tomorrow, the group returned to the hotel to rest.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, everyone separated at the door of the hotel.
Gu Lengyan, Guan Ning and Guo Xinyi went to the Municipal Library.
Lin Ze, Liu Man and Song Ting rushed straight out of the city.
Seventeen kilometers is not far or close.
If you travel on foot, it will take you half a day at least.
Lin Ze didn't want to waste time, so when he arrived outside the city, he summoned the stone-condensing dragon and climbed onto its back.
After Liu Man and Song Ting also climbed up and sat down, Lin Ze patted the scales on the stone-condensing dragon's back.
The latter suddenly roared, spread its wings and soared into the sky.
The strong wind stirred up by the flapping of its wings made the passers-by around him scream in surprise.
When they came to their senses, they saw that the stone-condensing dragon had turned into a black dot in the distant sky.
The flight speed is astonishingly fast.
"Damn it, pure blood dragon clan!"
"Looking at the size, it's probably an adult dragon, with a level of at least seven, which is incredible."
"The beast master who summoned the Stone Demonic Dragon looks very young."
"Well, to have a seventh-level pet beast at such a young age, he must be a direct descendant of some big family."
"It's so enviable..."
Passers-by were amazed and looked at Lin Ze in the distance with envy.
About ten minutes later.
A vast forest already appeared in Lin Ze's field of vision.
The dense forest lies like dazzling jasper surrounded by mountains, and large flocks of birds fly above the canopy, giving people a sense of vicissitudes of ancient times.
It is hard to imagine that there is such a spectacular forest with ancient atmosphere less than 20 kilometers away from a human city.
Lin Ze looked forward, looking past the layers of leaves, he could vaguely see that the terrain gradually became lower and lower towards the center of the forest, forming an indentation.
There seems to be a basin there.
However, a layer of mist filled the sky in the middle of the forest, obscuring the scene below and making it impossible to see clearly.
"so beautiful."
Liu Man beside him murmured.
Song Ting also had a look of surprise on her face.
Both of them were attracted by the magnificent forest scene in front of them.
After a while.
The three of them arrived near the entrance of the forest.
At this location, there are already military beast masters riding flying beasts patrolling and guarding in the air.
Lin Ze couldn't get any closer and let the stone-condensing dragon land back to the ground.
After taking back the pet beast, Lin Ze led the two women towards the entrance of the forest.
The tranquility and distance felt when looking down from the air was completely destroyed after arriving at the entrance of the forest.
There are people coming and going everywhere.
There was endless noise and laughter, and it looked like a wet market.
"Does anyone want to form a team? One of the four is missing. We need at least one fifth-level pet beast."
"Those who hunt black wolves will share the spoils equally."
"The silver beast master is leading the team to explore. Come quickly if you want to hug the beasts, and those with sixth-level beasts will have priority."
"Does anyone need a guide? Guaranteed to be experienced and reasonably priced!"
Forming teams, recruiting people, trading, bargaining... there was a buzz of people everywhere, and it was extremely noisy.
"This is really..."
Song Ting's eyes widened slightly, unable to conceal her surprise.
Before coming here, she had never imagined that it would be such a scene.
How do you make it look like downloading a copy of an online game?
...but it seems that to a certain extent, exploring ruins is no different from downloading a dungeon.
The arrival of Lin Ze and the others attracted the attention of many people.
After all, the three of them all have young faces, and there are also two beauties, Liu Man and Song Ting.
Standing out among the group of adventurers in their thirties and forties, it is inevitable that they will attract attention.
Soon, a man in his thirties walked towards Lin Ze and the other three.
"Little brother, two girls, you are also here to hunt black wolves, right? Do you want to form a team together? There are just three people missing from our team."
The man's face was dusty, his face looked slightly weathered, and he still had a shaggy beard on his chin.
It just says on my face that I am not doing well.
He is clearly a third-rate adventurer with little strength.
Lin Ze looked at the other party for a few times, and after confirming that the other party really didn't know them, he became more and more sure of his guess.
Just think about it, how could a truly powerful adventurer invite three young beast masters to form a team without asking anything.
Aren't you afraid of being held back?
Obviously, this team could not find any other adventurers willing to team up with them, so they had to settle for the next best thing.
It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed.
Lin Ze shook his head and was about to speak when a voice broke in.
"Go away, with your little strength, you have the nerve to lead others to form a team, and you are not afraid of leading them into a trap? Hurry and get as far away as you can!"?
