This brave man is a scumbag

ruins.

A ruin that runs through the entire underground world.

When Zhou Li and his party walked through the dark forest and walked to the valley-like underground center, everyone's eyes showed the same emotion.

consternation.

It is hard for everyone to imagine that in such a vast and lifeless world, there will be traces of civilization.

"This is···"

Zhou Li stepped forward, looking at the collapsed magnificent building in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Castle?"

"Never seen this style before."

Elma stood side by side with Zhou Li, she frowned slightly, as a person who had been exposed to half-understood books, she had dabbled in many architectural styles on the mainland, but only the building in front of her, she had no clue. impression.

Jiang Qi was holding the spear, and there was only doubt in his eyes besides shock.As a native of the Three Courts of the East, he had never heard of such a void under the Huai River, and he couldn't believe that there were traces of civilization in such a vast void.

The endless ruins, the obviously unique style of the building, the black paint surface, everything is showing to Zhou Li and his party that there used to be a brilliant and brilliant civilization here.

Stretching out his hand, his palm touched the black stone. Zhou Li felt the coldness in his palm, and the doubts in his heart became more and more profound. For some reason, after passing through the dark forest, he always felt as if he had forgotten something.And when he saw this piece of ancient architectural relics, he was very astonished by an inexplicable panic.

what exactly is it?
"I'm going to have a look."

Zhou Li put down his hands, turned around, and said to the crowd: "If you are worried, stay here, and I will create an ending for you."

Elma stood by Zhou Li's side without any hesitation, and Toreya followed Elma out of habit.Jiang Qi recovered from the shock, looked at Zhou Li and the other three who wanted to enter the ruins, and said, "I'll go with you too."

"Jiang Qi, I won't hide it from you."

Zhou Li looked at Jiang Qi and said calmly, "I can feel that this ruin resonates with me, so you don't have to take risks."

After confirming, Zhou Li discovered that the panic was not fear or doubt, but an inexplicable yearning.He wanted to enter the ruins, but an inexplicable voice in his heart kept reminding him that there was something he wanted to know in the ruins.

"It's not an adventure."

Pulling the embroidery on the collar, it was a small willow leaf, stitched with green and blue threads.Jiang Qi looked at Zhou Li, his tone lost the indifference and calmness of the past, replaced by determination.

"I have reasons why I have to go in."

Jiang Qi stared at Zhou Li, and slowly said: "When I saw this ruins, the soul of the court master spoke."

"Ok?"

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the soul of the court master still existed in such a place, "What did he say?"

"he told me···"

Jiang Qi hesitated for a moment, then said: "He said let me think about it carefully, what exactly I want."

Gently rubbing the willow leaf embroidery with her fingers, Jiang Qi gritted her teeth and said directly: "I can feel that there is an aura of phantom in this ruin. If what the soul hints is correct, then there is a place to save phantom here." way."

From the very beginning, Jiang Qi never thought about expelling the phantoms, nor did he think about solving them.From beginning to end, this young general, who has always been icy, only wants to be rescued.

"Let's go then."

Zhou Li did not reject Jiang Qi, he took a meaningful look at the willow leaves on Jiang Qi's collar, smiled, then turned around and walked towards the ruins.

The moment the four of them stepped into the ruins, they felt a somewhat divided sense of astonishment, but this feeling was fleeting.Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and they could see that the other party and themselves had experienced the same thing.

There was no extra words, but after cheering up, everyone became more careful.The scale of this ruin is far larger than everyone imagined, and it is also more dilapidated than expected.

Cracked brick walls, a spatula that has rotted to the point where only a puddle of ashes remains, and a wooden bed whose original appearance cannot be seen clearly.Zhou Li looked at the disintegrated stone pot beside him, and the clod of earth that looked like a stove not far away, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Like, I've been here.

A bold and crazy idea suddenly appeared, which made Zhou Li feel an indescribable block.He felt that he was very familiar with this place, as if every street and every house had witnessed it with his own eyes.But when he started to close his eyes and experience all this, the strange feeling from the bottom of his heart brought him back to reality.

"It's like a city."

Elma gently wiped off the dust on the surface of the stone, revealing the words on it. Looking at the blurred characters, she frowned slightly, and said softly: "The words on it seem to be in Continental, but... they are missing. There are too many, I can't see clearly."

"That's what a city is."

Zhou Li raised his head, looked at the missing hole in the sky, and said slowly: "Those holes should have been filled with glowing moss, artificially planted to simulate light sources. But after no one maintained them, the moss rotted and finally dissipated." gone."

"No wonder."

Jiang Qi on the side nodded, "I've been thinking about what kind of lighting this city will use just now, but now it seems that the street lights may not be able to fully cover it."

"Ah."

Zhou Li nodded. He walked to a ruin like a shop, bent down, picked up the fragile cloth bag, twisted it lightly, and the cloth bag turned into powder and dissipated. "Looking at the situation, this ruin has at least Thousands of years of history."

Thousands of years...

The moment Jiang Qi heard these three words, he was in a daze.He felt more and more unbelievable, and there was also an inexplicable panic. The brilliant civilization thousands of years ago was washed away by the long river of time, and only this barren ruin was left in the end.

"there is a question."

Zhou Li straightened up, looked around, and asked, "Where are the people here?"

Yes.

Not only Jiang Qi, but even Torreya who was beside him were stunned for a moment.All they have seen along the way are the ruins of the city, including gravel, bricks and tiles, and various furniture or equipment, but they have not seen anything related to people.

You must know that bones are a difficult substance to decompose, not to mention in the underground world where there are very few decomposers.Therefore, it is very unusual that there are no remains of any corpses in this city.

Thinking of this, Toreya suddenly became alert.Just when she raised her head to take a look at the high place, a figure suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"who is it?!"

The moment Torea's voice sounded, the spear in her hand had already pierced into the air.But when the spear sank deeply into the stone wall, she realized that there was only a broken stone wall in the midair, and there were no people at all.

"what's the situation?"

Everyone was surprised by Torreia's sudden move, and they immediately put on a stance, but when they looked at the place where Torreia's spear had penetrated, they found nothing.This made everyone confused, but Zhou Li looked at Torea and asked her, "Did you see something?"

For Torea, Zhou Li is no longer the hatred from the bone marrow when he was reborn at the beginning, and even said that he is one of the few people in this world who understands each other well.He knew that there was definitely a reason for Toreya's sudden outburst. There was a high probability that she saw something that shouldn't exist.

"I... seem to see someone."

Torreya frowned slightly, waved her hand, and the spear fell directly into her palm.She hesitated, as if she didn't know what she had just encountered, "The man glanced at me in mid-air, and I threw the spear subconsciously, and he disappeared."

"Shadow..."

Zhou Li knew that in such a strange environment, any clues could not be ignored.He didn't think it was because Toreya was nervous and saw something wrong. After all, this girl should be the most powerful professional in the world at present, and her observation ability would never allow false vision to appear.

"I'm not so sure either."

Rubbing between her brows, Toreya suppressed the doubts in her heart. It was just that she didn't fully see the other person's expression or posture at that glance, but she felt an inexplicable familiarity.

I... seem to know her.

"Let's go."

Taking a long breath, Zhou Li gently kneaded a dust with his fingers, and said softly: "Perhaps in the depths of this ruin, there are all the answers."

Everyone entered a road that looked like a main road. The road was surrounded by collapsed houses, and there were no remains of the houses. The furnishings inside were kept at the last moment before people disappeared.After observing for a long time, Zhou Li came to a conclusion.

"Everyone here disappeared suddenly."

Gently stomping on the crock pot, Zhou Li looked at the neat pieces and said in a deep voice: "If it is an escape, the ruins are too clean, and the things in these people's homes have not changed at all. The location is also where it should have been used.”

"So, these people disappeared suddenly without any signs or traces, right?"

Looking at the ruins full of traces of time in front of him, Jiang Qi couldn't help but sigh, "What has happened to this city..."

disappear suddenly.

The moment she heard these four words, Elma was suddenly in a daze.She felt as if she had seen and heard something, but no matter how she recalled, there were only four words in her mind.

what is it···
After a while, Elma came back to her senses, and she began to think about what she had thought and what she had forgotten.

After passing through a building wreckage that looked like a city gate, everyone suddenly became brighter, and a magnificent but dilapidated castle appeared in front of them.On the broken huge stone gate, a penetrating trace made people shudder.

tooth···

Just when everyone was wondering what kind of power and attack could make such a terrifying mark, there was a look of consternation in Torea's eyes.

She has an impression of the appearance of this penetrating trace.

"Moon Dancer..."

After a long while, Toreya quietly said these three words.Immediately, Zhou Li at the side also understood something, and said, "That's right, this is the penetrating trace of the moon dancer's mouthparts."

Yes, it was the Moon Dancer, the messenger of the destroyed Nether Death God, who caused this terrible trace.During the Battle of Muqi, Moon Dancer and its Nether Death Legion kept slaughtering lives in Muqi. If Torea hadn't run out at that time, relying on her special physique to keep dealing with Moon Dancer, maybe Mu Qi had already completely collapsed.

But now, the traces left by that terrifying monster appeared in front of everyone again.

"bring it on."

At this moment, a soft girl's voice sounded from behind the city gate.

"who is it?!"

Immediately, Jiang Qi waved his spear, and a blue force gushed out, pushing the stone door open.Behind that door, everyone saw a girl with a brown complexion in a white dress.Her appearance was hidden in the shadows, and an indescribable aura diffused around her.She seemed to be looking at everyone, and said:

"bring it on."

"In the castle, there is the answer you want."

After saying this, the girl just disappeared in front of everyone.Without any warning, not even a trace left, she just disappeared so abruptly, as if she had been cut from space.

After the girl disappeared, Toreya suddenly felt a dull feeling in her chest, and a kind of sadness spread in her heart.She looked at the colorless carpet behind the broken stone door, the dim hanging lamp, and the lifeless castle, and Torea felt a coolness in the corner of her eyes.

I cried?
Torreya was stunned, and at the moment when tears filled her eyes, she seemed to see the huge stone door rising neatly above the ground, opening herself respectfully, and the doorknob was shaking slightly.And the red carpet enjoying the dim light by the stone slab immediately ran to its original position and spread itself out to welcome itself.With the girl's sight sweeping over, the originally dark purple lights suddenly changed color, warm orange color spread all over the castle, and the originally gloomy castle took on a new look.

The girl in a long white dress with skin as smooth as milk is holding a flower, her lovely face is more delicate against the backdrop of the flower.She looked at herself, tilted her little head, squinted her eyes and smiled happily, revealing those two small canine teeth.

Torreya stared at everything in front of her in a daze, but when the tears dissipated, the dreamlike existence instantly turned into bubbles and exploded, and everything disappeared.The stone gate is dilapidated, the lamps have been dimmed, and the carpet has lost its color.The girl who always greeted me also disappeared.

Raising her head, looking at the dilapidated tower that seems to be connected to this underground world, Torreia was a little dazed.Her mind was obviously blank, but countless "memories" kept pounding her.She wanted to speak, but when the words came to her lips, nothing came out.

"Let's go."

Zhou Li walked forward, he didn't look back, and said flatly: "Here, there will be the truth you want to know."

"Torya."
