The Yin Ruins are all ruined, different from the desolation seen from the outside, but a kind of... a broken wall with a sense of desolation and destruction.

"It's desolate outside, it's desolate inside, Shang..." Ji Chao sighed, walking along the streets of Yinxu, exploring.

The charred and the smell of coal ash caused by time corrosion penetrated into Ji Chao's nose, causing him to sneeze twice.

The house collapsed and fell into pieces. Sometimes two weathered charred corpses could be caught. Except for the hidden barrier, there was no movement. Only the occasional wind blowing in from the outside can suck Yinxu's sadness.

"It's so miserable..."

After several days, Ji Chao searched the exposed parts of Yin Ruins, but found nothing valuable. Except for the ruins, there were no charred corpses, and nothing else could be seen.

"So what is truly valuable should be here."

Ji Chao looked at his feet, sighed, and touched his stomach.

I didn't seem to have enough food...

And it is estimated that the excavation of Yin Ruins is a major project, and it will not take off this bone in a few years.

...... Take your time.

......

After purchasing enough food out, Ji Chao lived in Yinxu. Unless he purchased things, he would not leave Yinxu at all.

Only a small part of Yin Ruins is still exposed on the ground, most of which have been buried underground by sand and soil. Only half of various houses are revealed, and it is not clear what is hidden under these relics-like things. Ji Chao can only press his patience and excavate Yin Ruins bit by bit, looking for the backup plan left by the gods and immortals here, which can solve the chaos of alien races and monsters.

He studied under the Taoist Siji, so he could naturally predict some things.

"All I need to do is dig slowly." He used magic to dig the soil. He was obviously a powerful magician but was covered in dust, but he didn't find it strange at all. "I only know that fate is here, but I don't know when fate is."

"When you find it, the fate will come. This is...destined."

There was seriousness in his eyes.

What if it is for the Lord and for the world, even if you dig here for a lifetime?

But Ji Chao himself did not expect that he would have been digging for seven years.

Even King Zheng of Qin destroyed Han Kingdom in 230 BC, and Ji Chao was still soaked in Yin Ruins to dig soil.

Sometimes Ji Chao is a little doubtful about life when he digs.

What about my fate? What about fate?

How many times have I tested the divination technique? It shows that my fate is in Yinxu, so where has the fate gone?

At this time, Ji Chao was already 29 years old and had grown up a long beard and became no longer elegant. Moreover, due to long-term work, he naturally developed a body of tendon meat.

A pretty young man turned into a black man within seven years.

In April 229 BC, Ji Chao finally made a discovery.

Below a mansion, Ji Chao found a pit. After identifying it, he found that there was still a lot of space underground.

After opening up the space, Ji Chao jumped into this deep pit.

"Well——Puff, this smell is disgusting."

Ji Chao frowned, and his palms kept waving in front of his nose, dispelling the smell of violent moldy smell.

As his thoughts sink, he links thoughts and lines, Ji Chao snaps his fingers.

A ray of light appeared in his hand, and he placed it in front of him and investigated the scene at the bottom of the pit.

but.......

The things in the pit are human bones.

There are a lot of human bones, and there are rusty armor and decaying weapons.

"These... should be Shang's army, why did they die here?"

Sighing, Ji Chao shook his head, ignored these worthless remains, and moved towards the depths of the pit.

Along the way, Ji Chao not only met human bones, but also met various bones of other creatures, including those he knew and those he didn't know. They were obviously not normal creatures, but they all had decayed and worthless.

The space in the deep pit was surprisingly large, and Ji Chao found the end of the pit after several twists and turns.

But what awaited him at the end was still a corpse.

But this corpse is a bit unusual.

Putting the light source aside, Ji Chao held his breath, and the air here made it very difficult for him to breathe.

He knelt on one knee on the ground and brushed away the dust on the corpse with his hands, but what he saw was the skin tissue that seemed to be intact.

"This is..." Ji Chao's eyes narrowed.

The thought bonds are linked, and the end of the entire pit is illuminated. Ji Chao calls the wind and wraps it in his hands.

With the brush, Ji Chao locked out the thing buried in the soil.

"People..." He looked at the things in front of him and felt his heart beating.

There is no doubt that what he picked out from the pit was a person, but... it was not entirely a human being.

The part that just exposed the ground was the calf and a little heel. The structure of the lower body was basically complete, while the waist was upwards, the fingers were incomplete, and the entire head was rotten. It was impossible to tell whose body it was.

What's noticeable is that under the missing part of the skin, Ji Chao discovered something completely different from humans. It's not so much a human being...

This is a sophisticated mechanical man, or a robot.

"Artificial human..." Ji Chao read this name and a little cold sweat appeared on his face.

This word is recorded in the thought bond pattern. Ji Chao has been unable to understand the meaning of this word. Until now he discovered this thing, he suddenly realized that the thing in front of him was probably the so-called "artificial man".

Ji Chao fell into suspicion.

Will this man-made remains be the "fate" that he and Qin Wangzheng expected?

"Huh?" He lowered his head, Ji Chao suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something under the man-made man before?

After a while, Ji Chao also dug out the things under the artificial human body.

"This... should be, it's also an artificial human?" He looked at the thing with a puzzled look on his face.

There is only a person's appearance, and other parts are damaged.

Sighing, Ji Chao tied the two "artificial human" bodies with a rope to his back and walked back along the way he came.

No matter what, these two things should have been found by him in the past seven years of visiting Yinxu, and are the closest to the word "mystery".

Hopefully, you can bring me what the Lord really wants.

He jumped onto the ground and pulled the two artificial corpses with a rope. Ji Chao was about to take these two things back and take a good rest, but suddenly he met a figure at the corner.

“Wow wow—!”

He was obviously a big black man but was startled by the sudden figure.

"Who?" he asked yelled.

"Don't panic!"

“…it’s my husband.”
