The Age of Machines

Chapter 758 Journey to the Ruins
[Aton City] Only one-third of the building site was destroyed by monsters, and most of the destroyed places were near the city gate. The deeper they went into Aton City, the more complete and strange the houses inside were found. What's more, along the way, there is no shadow of a monster.This should have been invaded by monsters, and according to the nature of monsters, it is impossible to invade this kind of invaded place, and then they will all leave.They will wait here for their prey.

A group of people searched around, and there were almost no living creatures in the empty house, whether it was a monster or a human resident.

"It's empty inside. I searched it. There is no old blacksmith or monster." One day, he walked out of the house holding the hilt of the long sword at his waist. He went in and wandered around. The door of the blacksmith shop was open, so I went in to have a look, but found nothing.

The weapons inside are still neatly arranged, but the master blacksmith is no longer there, and there are no hidden monsters.

It's not the first house they've found that hasn't been destroyed or has any living objects, it's like a ghost town.

"It's so strange, there must be some reason why the monsters dare not stay here." Lollipop still feels that there must be some unknown secrets in it.They came all the way, but whenever they passed a town, they were greeted by a group of monsters.

In the city of Aton, they couldn't even see a single monster. When this happened, they couldn't find their way of thinking.Why did the monster attack stop in the middle? So where did the residents and players in this city go?
NPCs will not disappear for no reason because of the darkness, they will either be killed or flee to other places.They are also a part of the game, and they will not automatically disappear after the monster attacks.

"There must be something in this city." As for what, they don't know.But based on their experience, there is indeed a quest line here.

"That's not our goal." Rashomon said loudly to dismiss Ukiyo-e's thoughts.He thinks that they don't need to waste time here, after all, the final destination is not here, they still need to move forward, and they may not be able to find the ruins when they reach the Atoningshe River.All the ruins are hidden, and the ruins of the activities are different from the wild ruins. The latter are more mysterious and extremely difficult to find.Players generally need to spend a lot of time and energy to discover the ruins.

Ukiyo-e: "I know. Of course it depends on what the president means. I'm actually more interested in the ruins."

"There is not much time, so let's not stay here." It was a blessing for them that there were no monsters, otherwise everyone would have to clean up and waste a lot of time.

Beixi: "If we find the right relic, we'll come back and have a look." She doesn't have much time, and she's not sure about this unknown relic, Beixi. If she can't find Roger Dahl, she doesn't need to seize the time.

"Go this way."

Beixi summoned the mechanical beast, and the others also summoned their mounts.This time because there are no monsters, they can fly in the city, which can save a lot of time.

The streets of Aden City are very wide, and there is a water area on the edge of this city. Although the area is not as large as the ocean, it is not small.During their flight, they left a street and turned into an alley. They flew for about ten meters, and when they came out to another street, there was water along the way.

Following the water flow all the way up, they rode their mounts without any resistance from monsters and quickly left Aton City smoothly.After leaving the city, there are still waters. This area is full of large and small rivers, and one of the waters runs through the entire Lingdu.And this body of water is the Atton Ringshe River.

"Is there no place to land?"

They are only ten meters above the water, and they dare not fly too high, nor can they fly too low.This water area is not shallow. Generally speaking, players can enter the water in any river, and there are generally wild monsters underwater.Auras are able to affect living creatures wherever they are, and they can be dangerous if they get too close to the surface.

"In the past." Beixi looked at the map. The blue area above represented the water area, while the green area was the land where they could land.Several green areas are not connected, but separated by rivers one after another. Beixi guessed that those green areas are not very large, because the area drawn on the map is a bit small. According to the proportion, it may only be used on the landing ground.

"We have to land as soon as possible." The civet cat looked at the calm water below, which was so dark that it made people feel insecure.

They can't stay in the sky and fly all the time.As the civet cat said, it is necessary to land as soon as possible, and it is not difficult to ensure that there will be something suddenly jumping out of the water.Beixi is fine, she can still attack, but other people are different, the player cannot attack while riding.Although it can be pulled away from the height, there is no guarantee that after the height rises, it will enter the attack range of some monsters.

They met Sullivan who was running in the sky on the road before. The monster seemed determined to find them and kept wandering around.Sullivan's hyperopia has a distance, and it is still relatively far away now, and it does not have the skill of clairvoyance, so it can only patrol back and forth in the sky by virtue of its own flying speed.

Everyone must avoid flying too high, because they don't know when Sullivan will suddenly be overhead.

"The water is so dark."

"It is probably polluted, let's not slow down or it will be dangerous."

Several people nodded, speeding up and rushing to the land ahead.It soon arrived at the first land area. It was a small area with no houses or crowds. It was just an area for landing.

The lollipop stands on the edge of the land. There is no wave in the calm water. The edge in contact with the soil is full of black substances. I don’t know what it is, but it can be imagined that without these things, this water area should be extremely blue and beautiful. Peerless.

Lollipop looked at it for a while and found nothing unusual. They just stayed here for a short time to rule out dangerous factors, and checked for clues of ruins nearby.If they don't have any clues, they still need to ride their mounts and continue flying to the next land surface.

"How, did you find anything?"

In addition to the soil, there are only big pits in this area. I don’t know how they were formed. There are quite a lot of pits, but there is nothing of value. A search was fruitless. "I think it's probably going to pass."

Tanuki remembered that the records said it was near the upstream, but they might still be in the downstream area.

Everyone had no choice but to continue in-depth.
