Gradually, they discovered that this was not the ancient continent they were looking for, but a large island called Kuro Island. In the center of the island, a towering volcano emitting billowing black smoke stood. From the foot of the mountain to the beach, there was a vast tropical
jungle cover
It happens that the Black Ghost needs supplies such as food, wood, and especially fresh water that the NPC crew urgently needs.
"Tie Niu, Lily, Kanna, and Wild Cat follow me to the island to supply supplies, and the others will stay on the ship."
Others also want to see if this is a game. They have not touched land for a long time and have almost forgotten what it feels like to step on the ground.
However, seeing that Chu Tian’s order was unequivocal, there was no room for doubt and the only chance was to swallow the request back.
When the Black Ghost was still 300 meters deep in the sea from Cullo Island, it slowly moored and placed an anchor to secure it.
Chutian summoned Fran and took five people directly to the island on a different-dimensional journey to prevent any potential threats in the shallow sea area.
You can't feel anything from a distance. Only when you stand on the soft sea sand that feels hot to your feet can you clearly see how dense this extremely primitive forest is. There is almost no place to stick your feet.
A huge tree hundreds of meters high serves as the foundation. Its trunk is coiled with python-like vines. There are chest-high bushes on the ground. The bushes are also covered with thorny thorns. Dots between the bushes and thorn bushes grow directly on the branches of both.
Dots of dry grass bring a bit of greenery to this dark brown environment. At the bottom, green or brown shade-loving moss grows against the damp mud, filling this space densely, making full use of all available living space.
, leaving no gaps
"Lily, go up to the sky and check on the situation and the others..." He slowly pulled out the crimson demon shadow and walked towards the virgin forest, "Let's open the way."
The rustling sound of metal weapons colliding with dry branches amazes the large number of birds and beasts living in this environment.
Chutian took Lily to ride Fran soaring in the sky. Lily used the telescope to point out the direction for the three people below, especially to avoid the dangerous areas hidden in the swamp.
Theoretically, Wenwen can summon water to attack, but this is a game after all. Such water is not recognized by the system and cannot be directly used by NPC crew members. They must fetch water in person. Otherwise, NPC crew members will be in a state of water shortage for a long time, and their popularity will drop rapidly and cause

Compared with fresh water, food and wood that can be made into repair wood by oars are secondary, and the preparations on the ship are relatively sufficient.
Tang Ling was the happiest about this trip. He collected a lot of high-end ingredients and medicinal materials along the way. Even if there is no corresponding formula for the time being, what kind of ordinary products can exist in this area, and one day he will know their uses.
Because of this, she picked a lot and didn't let anyone go, but this also caused the progress of progress to be slowed down a lot.
"What's there?"
Chutian's field of vision was too small to see clearly, Lily asked: "Where?"
"Just in the jungle on the right front." Chu Tian pointed out the direction for her.
Lily squinted and found that she still couldn't see clearly. She used a telescope and exclaimed: "It's a building! An artificial building!"
Five people formed a team. Lily shouted on the team channel, so the three people below also heard it.
"There are towns?!"
Everyone was surprised by the news
Lily's field of view was not clear due to the obstruction of the forest, so she said, "I'm not sure yet." She put down the telescope and said, "We need to get closer."
Problems such as drinking water in cities and towns can be easily solved.
Tang Ling and Tieniu stopped their work of collecting and logging respectively. When Xu Ting summoned Ah-Dai, the three of them jumped on
With Fran leading the way, the huge Ah-Dai used the three rhinoceros horns on his upper jaw to rush through the jungle, forcibly carving out a Yangguan Avenue through the dense jungle. Because of this road, it was also a lot brighter.
It only took a few breaths to arrive in front of this artificial building complex.
It's a pity that no one is happy
Because what they saw was... ruins
I don’t know how old the buildings are. This town is a relic from thousands of years ago. The architectural layout and style are very similar to those of the Mayan civilization. A towering and majestic temple is placed in the center of the town to withstand the erosion of the sea wind.
The town is not large, but you can still see its former prosperity and luxury.
...There are actually several streets paved with a orange-yellow metal that resembles gold!
Putting away Fran and Dumb, the five of them walked into this ancient city, and immediately the system prompt sounded.
"Ding! Congratulations on discovering the lost golden city and gaining 1,000 experience points."
This system prompt made everyone shocked. I have found that every new map can gain 10 points, 50 experience points, and the maximum will not exceed 100. How important is this golden city ruins? You can get 1000 points just by walking into it.
point of experience
"Everyone, be careful," Chu Tian warned.
The reminder that benefits and risks coexist further illustrates the dangers here.
Everyone nodded in unison and took out their weapons to enter the fighting state. Tieniu and Tang Ling even blessed everyone with various auxiliary states to ensure that they were foolproof.
However, after walking a hundred or two hundred meters, they didn't see a single NPC or monster. It seemed like this was just an ordinary dead city, and their careful actions were just making a fuss out of a molehill.
Walking into a mud house, three or four clay pots for storage were kicked to pieces and only a large amount of dust flew up.
Depressed, I walked out of this earthen house and saw Lily happily showing off to Tie Niu the 'Fragments of Golden Civilization' she had just obtained from the clay pot, and gave Tie Niu a strange blueprint for making a heavy armor jacket.
He looked at Tang Ling and Xu Ting again, but they both shook their heads and found nothing.
Looking at this ancient town from a distance: "Is the meaning of this city's existence just to provide players with the fragments of the golden civilization?" He looked directly at the temple in the center of the town.
Xu Ting twitched her nose and inhaled, and said seriously: "I smell a dangerous smell."
Tang Ling also nodded without any reason, it was just their women's intuition.
Of course, a masculine woman like Lily shouldn't have this kind of intuition.
"We'd better go back"
Tang Ling agreed with Xu Ting's opinion: "It's so strange here. Everyone seems to have disappeared out of thin air. It's not because of the plague or the volcano next to it. It's like everyone disappeared in the blink of an eye, without any trace or trace."
She came to this conclusion only because she found half-eaten leftovers and a flatbread with only one bite in a house. Thinking of those foods that were close to petrification, she felt nauseated.
"Brother, I also think it would be better to go back," Tieniu also persuaded.
Chu Tian didn't answer, he just stared deeply at the temple that looked like gold.
Lily encouraged Tieniu to continue talking.
"It's like a hunter spreading bait to lure his prey into a trap."
As long as a normal player obtains the first copy of 'Fragments of Golden Civilization', he will wonder whether there are second copies, third copies, and more copies in other locations. The final target will definitely fall on the temple in the center of the town.
Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows that ancient people liked to put the best and most valuable things in temples to worship their gods.
"No, I want to take a look." Chu Tian whispered with a firm tone, loud enough for everyone present to hear
Precisely because there was something weird everywhere here, Chu Tian decided to check it out to see if he would be able to come to this island again after this time. His intuition told him that this was a random map similar to a high-level dungeon, and of course the location was not fixed.
Some people also say that men’s intuition is usually inaccurate.
The other four people looked at each other, Xu Ting shrugged and expressed helplessness.
Except for Lily, the other three people all know that Chu Tian is easy-going on the surface but has a stubborn temper. If they object, he will definitely not go back as a minority and obey the majority, but will go and see it alone.
Thinking of this, it is a game after all. If there is danger, it is difficult to get rid of the danger. The most serious thing is to return to the Black Ghost and resurrect.
Also seduced by the rare opportunity for adventure, I agreed to his decision.
"Just go, the scar will be as big as a bowl at most."
Xu Ting smiled
Chu Tian thanked him for smiling at her
Tang Ling lamented that she didn't care. She was the one who had anything to do with Chu Tian, a stinky man. She contacted Sister Hong and the others on her behalf, explained the situation here, and told them not to worry. Maybe they would have to come back later.
Chu Tian also ordered them to wander around and play, otherwise it would be quite boring to wait on the boat.
Seeing that the rear area was stable, Chutian and his group walked firmly towards the unknown temple in the center of the city.
I don't know if it was their illusion. As they got closer and closer to the temple, the originally clear blue sky gradually became gloomy. But when I looked up, I found that it was still as clear as before. I couldn't help but feel strange. The doubt was just my own.
illusion?
From a distance, this thing looks quite big.
When you get closer, you realize that it is only close to twenty meters high, but it looks particularly towering and spectacular against the surrounding earth huts that are no more than three meters tall.
Standing on the steps that were deserted by the sea wind, the heavy iron bull accidentally trampled the steps under his feet and almost didn't roll down. Fortunately, Lily Hua beside her held her with her petite body, which made Xu Ting and Tang Ling look envious.
Chu Tian hurriedly turned his head to avoid the resentful looks of the two men.
Walking into the square temple at the top of the tower, you are immediately shocked by the statue in front of you.
A four-meter-tall golden statue!
It would be strange if the shrine below weighs several tons.
"Can this be moved back?"
Chu Tian asked himself, his eyes widened
As soon as he said this, Tieniu had already started to try
Even though it can’t be sold or recast into gold bars, it’s still very nice to have at home and look at every day.
Compared with this statue of the god, the layout inside the temple can be called simple, so poor that it feels like it has been looted by thieves. There are not even murals on the walls telling stories about gods and humans. They are so bare that it makes people suspicious.
It's not because those murals were also made of gold and were all dug away.
There's no way I can't have this idea
In a town that dares to do something as outrageous as paving roads with gold, how outrageous is it to use gold to create murals?
