In this town, I will take a short rest. Although there is convenient food that I can carry with me, I can eat cooked food. Who is willing to eat cold dry food, and unless it is an extremely poor and remote place,

Otherwise, no matter how dilapidated a town looks on the outside, it is still a town, and rich people can still enjoy more luxurious things.

In addition, the most important reason why I entered this town is to find an accurate map of the nearby area. The Kingdom of Wind is really big. If we really want to purely talk about the land area, the Kingdom of Wind is probably all fire.

It is about two to three times that of the Kingdom of Wind, but there are many useless areas in it. Even the official map produced by the Kingdom of Wind only depicts the details of the most important areas, and the rest is basically

These are all approximate, and sometimes the maps of some special areas are not as detailed as those of some caravans!

Although I am not sure, the town where Shoji is currently located must be the largest gathering place of people in the nearby area. It should not be difficult to purchase a slightly more detailed map here!

This can also save the general a little time. Otherwise, it may really take three or four days to search one by one.

As expected by the general, this is a regional map that can easily be purchased at the largest store in this town. It has detailed markings on some important surrounding areas and main passages, as well as some special landmarks. These maps were originally

They are all prepared for passing caravans, so naturally they must be as detailed as possible!

The general easily found his target on the map, the ancient Loulan Kingdom that was destroyed in the Third Ninja War!

That's right, Shoji's goal this time is to be sealed by the Fourth Hokage. The biggest reason why the ancient Loulan Kingdom could prosper was the power of dragon veins!

In fact, the original work did not explain too much about how powerful the dragon vein is, but what is certain is that this is a special energy body, which can even be called an existence with certain life characteristics.

In future experiments, dragon veins can be used as a special energy source. Even if these benefits are put aside, the existence of dragon veins alone is enough to interest Shoji.

To be more precise, dragon veins are only one of them. The remaining ones include the power of the witch from the Demon Country, the power of the sprites, the evil god that may exist in Hidan's mouth, and the so-called magic that can be summoned by magic.

'Reaper', as well as the artificially cultivated 'Zero-Tail', etc. These special energy entities that are different from chakra, in Shoji's view, are all linked to the 'truth' of this world to a certain extent, and are different from chakra.

When he first came to this world, the only thing Shoji had to consider was how to save his family from crisis.

The current Shoji is somewhat similar to Orochimaru in a sense. He has a strong interest in the existence of this world and the truth of this world, because if you really want to say it, Chakra is a truly extraterrestrial thing.

, is the result of the fruit of the sacred tree planted by Otsutsuki Kaguya. Before Otsutsuki Kaguya, humans in this world did not have the power of chakra.

And studying the existence of these seemingly most special energy bodies, such as dragon veins, can help General to a great extent to dig deeper into the truth of this world and truly understand the nature of this world.

Dragon Vein is just General's first stop.

'The distance is still a little far, slightly towards Kawanoguni, but starting from here, it will take more than half a day to reach the destination!'

Look at the exact location on the map.

Jiang Si's eyes flashed slightly, and he secretly calculated the approximate distance and the time it would take.

It was also because it was already dusk when he arrived at this town. Seeing that the distance was so far away, General decided to spend the night in this town. It was not impossible to travel all night, but the Country of Wind was mostly desert and Gobi.

At night, the temperature drops sharply, and even ninjas will suffer. It's not like you have to rush on your way. There is really no need to suffer this kind of punishment!

Staying one more night in this town won't waste much time.

The next day.

The general almost woke up at dawn.

Without waking anyone up, he quietly left this town and headed towards the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. Although it was also reduced to ruins, the place where Grandma Cat led her extended family lived.

Different from that country that was destroyed decades ago, the ancient Loulan country was destroyed eight or nine years ago. Even though Loulan was only a small country, it flourished for a short period of time because of the power of dragon veins.

In the next few years after the country was destroyed, there would still be a certain amount of population in the surrounding area, but as time goes by, it is foreseeable that this area will become as desolate as that small country.

But some people can still be seen. The area where the ancient Loulan Kingdom once stood has not been completely abandoned. The young queen still lives in the surrounding corners with her subjects. Of course, the Loulan City is completely abandoned.

, and for a period of time before, it was completely sealed off by Shayin Village, prohibiting outsiders from entering, including the former Queen of Loulan Kingdom and those Loulan subjects.

The reason is very simple. The power of dragon veins is still very attractive. Unlike the star stone in Xingyin Village, which has obvious side effects that all major countries know, and has not thought of any particularly great use value, dragon veins are really capable.

The ancient country of Loulan prospered because of the power extracted as energy. All the machinery in this country can be powered by the power of dragon veins, without the need for other energy sources. Moreover, Loulan also used the power of dragon veins to create a large number of special puppet warriors.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is what Shayin Village wants most. The reason why Loulan was destroyed was largely due to the greed of Shayin Village, that is, that

The young queen made a decisive decision and led tens of thousands of people in the country to withdraw from the Loulan Kingdom.

It saves them a lot of trouble. The Sand Hidden Village is naturally happy to take over the entire Loulan Kingdom easily. However, when they excitedly want to bring the power of the dragon vein back to their Ninja Village, they find that the dragon vein has been sealed.

The 'initiator' is naturally the famous Fourth Hokage - Namikaze Minato!

Of course, when he sealed the Dragon Vein, Minato was not Hokage, and the Third Ninja War had not even broken out at that time. It was the last calm period before the war. Namikaze Minato was only seventeen or eighteen years old, almost the same as Shoji now.

Despite his age, he already possesses Kage-level strength, and thanks to his girlfriend, Uzumaki Kushina, even the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Namikaze Minato has already achieved the art of sealing.

It is extremely advanced, and with the extremely rough seal level of Sunagakure Village, which often causes one to riot, it is impossible to break the seal of Namikaze Minato!

Luo Sha, the Fourth Kazekage who had just succeeded him at that time, had not thought about using brute force to break it, but in this case, it was very likely that the dragon vein would be out of control, which would directly lead to the loss of rice. After thinking about it, Luo Sha

Suna had to make the decision to put aside the dragon veins for the time being, because she wanted to see if her own ninja village could develop a way to crack it in the future, or if she could defeat the Hidden Leaf Village in the war, she could put forward conditions for Nam Feng Shui to do so.

Come and unblock the door yourself!

Needless to say about the subsequent process, Sand Hidden Village was completely defeated in the war. Luo Sha had no energy to take care of the so-called dragon vein power. As time went by, it didn't mean that he completely forgot about it, but he really chose to leave it alone.

, anyway, I don’t have the time or ability, so I put it aside for now!

As for why the subsequent war was victorious, Konoha Hidden Village never thought of bringing the power of the dragon vein back to its own ninja village. Well, that can only be a matter of benevolence and wisdom. Anyway, Konoha Hidden Village’s outrageous operation was also

Not once, but twice!

Today, more than four years have passed since the end of the Third Ninja War. The ancient country of Loulan, which had at least hundreds of sand ninjas stationed for a long time, is now truly deserted.

Except for the occasional number of subjects from the Ancient Loulan Kingdom who came to pay homage to their ancestors under the leadership of the former queen, other than that, the Ancient Loulan Kingdom has become a ruin in the true sense.

But this is also very conducive to the general's actions.

There is no need to worry about being discovered. After spending almost half a day, in the afternoon, General arrived outside the ruins of the ancient Loulan country. Unlike in the original work, it was almost 20 years since Loulan was destroyed. Now this place is still preserved.

There are quite a few majestic buildings left behind by the Loulan civilization.

When he saw the scene of high-rise buildings scattered all over, even though they were all ruins, it still gave Shoji a certain degree of shock.

‘This is the ancient country of Loulan!’

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows and whispered in his heart.

With this strong metallic feeling that hits the face, it must be said that Loulan does not feel like a city suitable for human life at all. Instead, it is like a large thermal power plant, with no sense of livability at all.

‘The most important thing is missing the thick smoke and black fog, otherwise it would really feel like a foggy city in England.’

Jiang Si smiled softly, and such a nonsensical idea suddenly appeared in the depths of his brain.

With his scattered perception, he could be 100% sure that there was no one else around. The general entered Loulan with very light steps. Although it was said to be a country, Loulan was actually an existence similar to a Greek city-state. It was just that

There is only one city like this in front of us, and the total population at its maximum is only tens of thousands. Therefore, the area of ​​the 'capital' of Loulan Kingdom is not particularly large!

'If I remember correctly, the location of the dragon vein is underground in the center of the city, and you have to go down a long spiral corridor!'

While recalling the important information in his brain, General headed towards the center of the ruins. Fortunately, this ruined city still roughly retained its original appearance. Otherwise, it would have been very time-consuming for General to find the location of the dragon veins.

some time.

The general who walked straight on arrived at the center of the ruins in less than ten minutes.

This is almost a tall tower that is much grander than other tall buildings that appears in front of the general.

‘It seems this is the right place!’

Jiang Si's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Earth Escape—The Technique of Explosion!"

A roughly determined entrance location.

The general immediately formed a seal with his hands.

Then, with one palm, tap the target position.

"Crack!"

Accurately contain it at one point.

Then the surface cracked.

"Crash!"

Along with the falling gravel and raised dust.

A deep cave entrance appeared in front of the general.

'Fortunately I was prepared!'

The slightly cold breeze blowing from inside made Si subconsciously tremble slightly, and then he took out a flint and torch from the luggage bag he was carrying.

"Crack!"

With a light touch.

This torch was directly lit, and then Si's figure was lifted up, and he entered directly into the interior of the tower.

The surrounding area can be slightly illuminated.

"boom!"

The general also easily stepped into the deep spiral corridor.
