Chapter 91 The Millennium Ancient City (01)

The stagnant water in the valley came back quickly, and the ruins were washed out in less than half a day. After the group went down, they realized that it was not easy to walk. The muddy ground was extremely difficult to walk on. Up to their knees, but they were eager to leave here and did not wait. They walked forward through the mud. The area of ​​the ruins was very large, and most of them had been submerged in the mud. The place has not reached the window, and some earthen pots and very old cooking utensils can still be seen inside, and one can vaguely feel the situation of the ancients living here.

"This is indeed a big town. Judging from the size, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people can live there, but it is hidden in a deserted place." Li Siming climbed up a house and looked around, "This house is really solid, grandma's."

"How did such a big city-state fall? It must have been destroyed by accident!" Rhodes said, looking at the stone statues in the distance. Such huge statues of warriors can be seen everywhere in the ruins, as if they were the first guards of the city-state...

"It shouldn't be a natural disaster, otherwise the house wouldn't be so intact, it should be a man-made disaster." Li Siming stood on it, "It's easy to walk on the roof, there is not so much mud, come up."

"Won't it collapse?" Agui looked at Li Siming and asked.

"It should be fine." Li Siming stomped his feet, "They are all stone buildings. Although the idea is not short, they are not bad."

Hearing what he said, Si Xuanyi and the others also climbed up, and finally left the muddy water on the ground, indeed much faster than before. After a few rests, everyone recovered well, and their physical strength improved a lot.

The old streets can no longer see the prosperity of the past, years of fallen leaves and dust have already covered most of the traces of human survival, except for these ruins of houses that cannot be covered, the streets are occupied by trees, vines and weeds. The insignificance of human beings in front of nature is almost negligible. After the disappearance of human beings, nature makes a comeback, and everything can only follow the laws of nature.

It took them a lot of time to walk through the entire valley, and they hadn't reached the end when it got dark. In the end, they could only find a building that was built to stay overnight. This place was not bad, at least it was sheltered from the wind and rain.

"It's much safer than being in the woods." A bonfire was built on the ground after blocking the doors and windows with branches cut by Agui. They hadn't had hot water for a long time. Rhode, a foreigner, didn't care about that, but Si Xuanyi and the others These Chinese still have a soft spot for hot water. Boiling water, cooking food, and drying clothes are all great enjoyments for them.

"It finally came out." Agui stretched his waist and lay on the ground beside him.

"Sleep when you are full, and you can't sleep well when you are hungry." Ma Zhong is busy cooking and eating. This is his biggest hobby and the only way he can show his presence here.

"Eat and sleep, the old rules take turns to keep watch." Si Xuanyi yawned and leaned against the wall, with his rifle across his lap, "Damn, why do I like the woods a little bit?"

"That's because you hate drilling holes so much." Li Siming picked up the clothes with branches and dried them on the campfire.

"Cave? I don't want to go in this life anymore." Ma Zhong stirred the soup in the pot and said, "This pot of soup is my thanks to the bosses for not throwing me in it."

"Thank you so much?" Li Siming shook his clothes, "Why don't you share the string of gems, one for each person should be enough."

Ma Zhong immediately shook his head and said, "That's not going to work. This is reserved for my wife and children to live a good life. When I go out, I'll give you a set of Manchu Banquet as a formal thank you. How about it?"

"You? A military leader can cook a full banquet?" Li Siming curled his lips, "Ghosts will believe it."

"Don't underestimate people, I'm..." Ma Zhong felt that it was embarrassing to be underestimated, but he was interrupted by Agui's abnormal behavior before he finished speaking.

Agui suddenly got up from the ground, pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, and at the same time raised his hand to signal Ma Zhong not to speak. Si Xuanyi also noticed his strangeness and immediately pointed his gun at the gate blocked by tree branches.

"What's wrong?" Li Siming imitated his shadow and listened to the movement outside, but in the end he heard nothing.

"There is something... four-legged, not small." Agui said softly, "Three... no, it seems to be four... no more."

"Beast?" Li Siming asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Agui shook his head, "There are many things in this forest, beasts are just one of them, and there are some things we don't know."

"Don't say it so scary." Ma Zhong was a little scared, he was always timid, especially in such a situation where he didn't know what the danger was, he would often become very nervous.

"It's nearby, I hope they're just passing by..." Agui said as he moved the fire towards the door.

Li Siming picked up a burning thick branch to help, but at this moment the branch blocking the door suddenly trembled and a big face poked in. They all knew this face, it was the face of the savage who had attacked them several times.

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden appearance, and Li Siming was the quickest to react by slapping his savage's face with a rough swipe of his hand. With a scream, the savage ran away, and several people raised their shotguns and pointed at the door.

"Damn...how did you follow me here?" Ma Zhong scolded nervously.

"Be more active, it..." Before Si Xuanyi finished speaking, the window that was blocking the window was suddenly knocked open, and a huge black shadow flew in from outside.

"Fuck..." Everyone immediately turned their guns, and the rain of bullets swept over. The black shadow was pierced by the rain of bullets and flew upside down, hitting the window sill, and finally landed. Only then did he see clearly that it was a leopard.

But under the moonlight outside the window, they saw an unbelievable scene. Several savages were standing on the opposite ruins, and there were more than a dozen leopards lying nearby, and one of the savages was squatting on the roof. Holding a leopard by the neck and throwing it over here...

"Fuck, are they raising dogs?" Li Siming pulled the trigger outside, and the bullets shot down the leopard in mid-air. There are a dozen of them.

"They're crazy..." Agui shouted while shooting.

There was a lot of gunfire for a while, and leopards rushed up from time to time and were beaten to death. Soon the door was mostly blocked by the leopard's corpse. The original terrain had been silted up for thousands of years, so the door was not very big. There was only a gap less than half a meter high, and the windows were almost blocked. Their line of sight was blocked, but the leopard's attack outside did not weaken at all...
