Chapter 114 City Ruins

Chapter 114 City Ruins
"Quick! Pull all the carts in."

The coachmen had already untied the pack animals from the carts, and everyone could only push or pull to get all the carts out of the cave, and then drive all the pack animals into the cave.

Almost as soon as everyone parked their carts, the Stonehenge was shrouded in darkness.

The violent storm engulfed the sand and stones and began to cut those boulders continuously, creating more gravel. Everyone only felt that the whole world was constantly trembling. Except for the rumbling wind and the shaking of the earth, nothing else could be heard.

Although the frontal impact of the strong wind was avoided, the cave was too shallow, and the wind and sand that rolled in was still very violent. Everyone tried to move the cart inward and kept close together.Avoid the leather wrapping it from being torn apart by the wind.

Watching the storm outside constantly polish those boulders, and even seeing monsters such as death beetles being blown by the wind and hitting the boulders, they are already disfigured. Things that are drawn into this stonehenge are like entering a pulverizer In general, don't even think about going out.

The goods on these carts were wrapped tightly in leather so that the rain could not get in, and they were covered with a large net made of thick hemp rope.As long as it is not constantly sanded or hit directly by sharp stones, there should be no problem.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Although the wind was blowing violently, they were safe under this barrier.

The storm raged for a long time before leaving this area.

Mo Bei pushed Perona under the cart before, fearing that the little man would be blown away by the wind.As a result, once the sand got under the car, it didn't go away. Now the part below the wheel is completely filled with sand.Mo Bei was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly tried to pull it out for her.

As a result, Perona teleported to him and looked at him with a foolish expression.

Mo Bei saw that her body was much cleaner than those of himself standing outside, and she didn't look like she had been buried in sand.It seems that seeing the bad situation under the car before, he shifted his position.

"Fuck! Even the sun is gone!" Rael who walked outside suddenly shouted.

"You've been fooled! The sun is setting!" Grob casually picked up a piece of gravel and threw it on Rael's helmet.

"Oh..." Rao couldn't help being a little embarrassed because of this guy's face.It was dark as soon as the storm subsided, and there was indeed a feeling of confusion.

Now that it was dark, the caravan simply spent the night under the boulder barrier.

It was rare for everyone to raise the fire. With the cover of these boulders, they didn't worry that the fire would be spotted by monsters in the distance.

The foodie paladin Ramsey was holding a small cloth bag and led three foodie barbarians, looking for sand scorpions in the crevices of the rocks.

This kind of terrain is the habitat of sand scorpions. After the sandstorm raged, these palm-sized scorpions appeared one after another, looking for food brought by the sandstorm.

I heard Ramsay mention this thing before, and the original words seem to be: Although it is small, it is very fragrant?

He thought it was really not that big, but now it looks bigger than a crab.

These scorpions were safe even from sandstorms, but meeting the three barbarian brothers was a disaster.

Those three guys even used their skills to catch the scorpion, jumping up and down between the boulders, like three big horse monkeys.

Besides sand scorpions, there are quite a few snakes here, but these cold-blooded animals don't move very much at night, and they all huddle in rock crevices or caves, but just because Ramsay gave these sleeping guys a 'very The evaluation of "delicious" was also pulled out by Rael and the others.

This barbecue meeting with local materials did not disappoint Mo Bei and the others. Whether it is sand scorpion or snake meat, it is delicious after roasting.

And it's not bad to bake in this moonlit desert.

Granbell spontaneously climbed up a boulder to guard the caravan.

His big clear eyes glanced around, and then glanced at the bonfire under the boulder from time to time, a sense of security that he had never felt before emerged from his heart.

It seems that as long as that figure is there, no matter what kind of dangerous situation it is, it can be finally resolved.
-
Half a month later, the ruins of a city that could not be seen at a glance appeared in front of everyone.

Although more than half of the ruins are buried under the yellow sand, the general outline of the city can still be seen from the incomplete city walls.

This was the first city built by the Keji in the Aranoch Desert, and it was once the core of this desert kingdom.

At the beginning, they built a transfer station to the western countries just because of the rich groundwater resources here. Unexpectedly, this city attracted more and more merchants to settle down, and eventually developed into a behemoth.

But with the decline and fall of the mage tribe, the city became increasingly disputed because of the loss of a powerful rule, and eventually turned into a war that destroyed the entire city and most of the desert kingdom.

Now the Mage Guild can basically conclude that the leader of that war is the former Pope of the Three Gods, Lucien who was killed before the Battle of Original Sin.

This demon has been lurking in this desert again since no one knows when, manipulating one conspiracy after another.

Even Lu Gaoyin's current turmoil is probably related to this lingering guy.

The caravan entered the ruins along a road covered by yellow sand.

All the buildings here are made of masonry, with thick lime powder on the outside, and a kind of tree pulp as a binder, which is very strong.

Even after a devastating war and years of wind and sand erosion, some buildings are still relatively intact.

Warriv took everyone to a courtyard with ease.The coachman, Ramsay and the others worked together to sweep away all the sand in the center of the courtyard, then lifted a thick stone slab, and a well appeared in front of everyone.

Mo Bei looked down and found that the well was extremely deep, and the reflection on the water surface was only as big as a bronze mirror.But what surprised him even more was that there was actually water here.

Warriv said that such wells can be seen everywhere in the ruins of the city, and he always came here to draw water.Feed the pack animals, and then walk to Lu Gaoyin in one go.

The bucket was lowered with a long rope, and soon water was brought up. Although it didn't look very clear because it hadn't flowed for a long time, it was perfectly fine for washing and drinking for the pack animals.

After a brief cleaning, everyone seemed refreshed.

Anata also listened to Mo Bei's previous suggestion and shaved his middle parted head into a short inch.As a result, no matter how you look at it now, you don't look like a mage. How can a mage look like a little ruffian.

After the caravan had rested, they were ready to cross the last desert and enter the city of Lugaoin with high morale.

"What was the name of this city before?" Mo Bei asked Kane, who was still looking around the ruins with a sigh, while helping the coachman to load the car.

"This is the first city in this desert, so it's called Aranok City, but except for the caravans and job changers who will come here to rest, almost no one remembers that there was a prosperous kingdom here. "

"This city was destroyed so thoroughly that no records were left, and the information about it is still blank until now. So it is now called the Forgotten City, or the Lost City." After Kane finished speaking, he sighed again Take a breath.

Mo Bei's heart was shocked. He was no stranger to this name, but he didn't expect them to come here.

"There are still many ruins of small towns in this area. It was extremely prosperous at that time, so as long as groundwater can be dug, towns will appear. We will see it in a while." Warriv added on the side.

At this moment, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.

Everyone was startled, and quickly looked around, only to find that the entire desert was shrouded in shadow.

"Damn it. The sun is really gone this time," Grob said, looking up.

Others have also noticed that the sun in the sky now only has a very dim halo left.Inside the aperture, there was a deep and eerie darkness.

"Oh! It's a solar eclipse! It's a rare sight! But why did it appear so suddenly...it should pass soon, and this kind of sight won't last long." Warriv raised his head and said .

No one noticed just now, but the light did dim in an instant.The normal solar eclipse process will not be so fast.

"I feel... This desert seems to be shrouded in a curse. A dark curse..." Kane frowned and shook his head.

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what kind of changes this would cause.

But no matter what, they still have to go back to Lu Gaoyin first.

The team continued to prepare for the road, and Rogers suddenly warned: "There are a lot of zombies crawling out of the sand, in this ruins, everywhere!"

"It's mummies! It usually appears at night, maybe it's the solar eclipse that made them... get the time wrong. If you have poisonous anti-equipment, put on poison-resistant equipment, these monsters are very poisonous!" Ramsey immediately reminded everyone.

The teams that have challenged Andariel are prepared with a lot of anti-drug equipment.So everyone immediately started changing gear as promised.

Undead creatures search for targets by sensing the life breath of living creatures. This caravan is like a bright light in the dark night, attracting the surrounding mummies.

At this time, the surrounding light was actually a bit dimmer than the real night, but the sandy ground and building ruins were light-colored. As soon as a gray-brown monster appeared, it was hit by a freezing arrow, and it spun rapidly. After the ice pick pierced into the small half of the skull, it could no longer penetrate an inch.

It failed to penetrate!Very strong defense.

The damage of Milor's arrow is definitely not low, and he also used the technique of piercing arrows.The saber-toothed cats who had previously encountered helmets could penetrate them with one blow.

Moreover, the mummy's head was not considered a vital point. After the arrow-shot mummy was frozen for two seconds, it rushed forward again with stiff steps.

"Destroy their bodies as much as possible. These mummies are very vigorous, and it won't have much impact if they are pierced through a few holes." Ramsay reminded again, and then threw a holy light at the mummy that appeared on the other side bomb.

Mo Bei charged at a mummy, slashed across with his tomahawk, and chopped off the mummy in one fell swoop.

However, he changed his color and immediately took a few steps back, spitting out a mouthful.

"My mother! It stinks!"

No wonder Ramsay threw the holy bomb from afar!Mo Bei burst into tears.

 The number of chapters is wrong again, it should be 114, sorry!
