As his gaze deepened, Liu Ming discovered that the closer to the center of the ruins, the less damaged the buildings were.
And in the deepest part of this ruins, you can faintly see a majestic and simple palace.
However, the main hall inside is not as luxurious as the outer city, and the materials used look very ordinary.
"Brother Liu, let's go." Shachuer must have been here before, and his expression looked very calm.
Hearing this, Liu Ming calmly followed him.
"etc!"
Just a few steps after Fang entered the edge of the ruins, Shachuer's expression suddenly changed, and she grabbed Liu Ming, and the two quickly hid behind a broken wall.
Liu Ming was about to open his mouth to ask, but as soon as he glanced at it, he immediately closed his mouth.
In front of the two of them, more than a hundred feet away, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, and a puppet warrior as tall as a person gradually walked out from behind a wall.
Liu Ming looked at it intently, and saw that this puppet was dressed in golden armor, with an amethyst helmet on its head, and two red lights shining on its eyes, like two burning crimson flames.
The puppet's head slowly rotated on its neck, looking in all directions, and then slowly disappeared behind another dilapidated house.
"This is the outermost puppet. Don't worry, its warning range is only about thirty or forty feet, so it can't detect us." After seeing the humanoid puppet clearly, Shachuer said softly with a sigh of relief.
After the puppet warrior walked away, the two of them continued walking towards the depths of the ruins.
"There are almost a dozen different kinds of puppets in the ruins. In addition to the human-shaped puppets we just encountered, there are also some animal-shaped puppets. Basically, they can move around freely in the ruins and will not hesitate when encountering intruders.
Attack. People from my clan suffered a lot when they came here before." Shachuer explained softly while moving forward carefully.
Liu Ming nodded. Regarding this point, the great elder of the Sand Clan also mentioned it yesterday.
"The habits and attack methods of the puppets here are different, but since they are puppets, they naturally have weaknesses..." Shachu'er introduced some of the puppets here in detail, and Liu Ming made a mental note while listening.
While talking, the two of them turned a corner.
"Huh?" Liu Ming suddenly stopped and walked to the side to pick up something.
This object is a black arm. It is about ten feet long, and it is covered with a lot of black dust. It is a little cold when you hold it in your hand.
"This should be the arm of an orangutan puppet. There are many puppet-like fragments in the surrounding ruins. There is nothing strange about it." Shachuer took a casual look and said nonchalantly.
Liu Ming shrugged and put it aside casually.
At this moment, a "buzzing" sound suddenly came from high in the sky not far from the two of them.
Liu Ming looked up following the sound. He saw a strange cyan bird puppet in the sky above his head, rushing towards where the two of them were.
This strange bird puppet is covered in black and blue, with a pair of eyes glowing red. It has bat-like wings and is three to four feet long when stretched out. The most eye-catching thing is its sharp beak that is more than one meter long.
The edges are jagged and have many barbs. It looks extremely ferocious, even though it is a puppet. But it is lifelike and not much different from ordinary birds and monsters.
"Oops, I was only looking at the puppet on the ground and forgot about this kind of azure bird!" When Shachuer saw this strange bird puppet, he suddenly lost his voice, then grabbed it with one hand, and black sand dripped from his hand.
After condensation, a black sand blade appeared.
"Oh, is this kind of puppet very powerful?" Liu Ming didn't reveal much, obviously he didn't have any idea about this stone blue bird.
Just as Shachuer was about to reply, the strange blue bird had already fluttered in front of the two of them amidst the whistling sound in the air.
The woman snorted, and just when she urged the sand blade in her hand to meet her, Liu Ming opened his mouth, and the golden sword shot out first, and instantly turned into a golden rainbow and rolled past the strange bird.
There was a "bang" sound.
The giant bird puppet immediately passed by the two of them in two halves, fell heavily to the ground, and could no longer move.
And the white core in the middle of this puppet was shattered to pieces the moment the sword light rolled through it.
"You actually cut open this bluestone bird puppet like this?" Shachu'er next to him couldn't help but was dumbfounded when he saw this, and even the sand blade in his hand collapsed silently without knowing it.
"What, is there anything strange?" Liu Ming raised his hand to recall the flying sword and asked.
Upon hearing this, Shachuer did not answer immediately, but suddenly took a deep breath. After the black sand condensed in his hand, he transformed into a sand blade again, and with a flash of black light, he slashed away half of the strange bird puppet beside him.
"Bang" sound
There was a golden-green mark about an inch deep on half of the puppet's body, but it was not opened by anything.
"This kind of bluestone bird puppet is made from the unique golden green sand deep in the Holy Land. It is extremely hard and can be ranked among the top three peripheral puppets in terms of danger. Our Sand Clan's Sand Blade, Sand Jackal
It can be broken with one slash, but it has no great effect against this puppet, which shows how powerful it is." Shachuer said very solemnly, and there was a strange flash in his eyes when he looked at Liu Ming.
In yesterday's battle, Liu Ming single-handedly killed the giant sand beast. Although the female elder was greatly surprised, she had not witnessed it with her own eyes, but she still only had a vague impression of Liu Ming's strength.
Now that I saw Liu Ming destroying such a powerful bluestone bird puppet with just one move of his hands and feet, I realized that Liu Ming was really so powerful.
"It's nothing. I'm a sword cultivator, and this void sword is sharper than ordinary flying swords, so I can do this." Liu Ming smiled slightly and explained briefly.
"I have also heard the Great Elder say that the attack methods of outside sword cultivators are far superior to monks of the same level. It seems that this statement is indeed true. There must be many people with great strength like Brother Liu in the outside world. I really hope that one day
I can see the outside world with my own eyes, and fulfill my mother's last wish." Shachuer sighed after hearing this, and an inexplicable sadness flashed in his bright eyes.
"If Miss Sha really wants to go to the outside world, shouldn't the Great Elder have something to do?" Liu Ming asked with a thought in his heart after hearing this.
"There is a way. But the ancestors of our clan made a strong oath back then. The clan and descendants of our bloodline cannot leave this place until the Holy Land welcomes its true master again." Shachuer shook his head and replied.
"Master?" Liu Ming frowned slightly.
"Yes, there is a rumor in the tribe. The Holy Land will one day choose its master again. However, this is a rumor that has been passed down tens of thousands of years ago. No one knows whether it is true or not, but the great elders of all generations firmly believe it.
." Shachuer replied with a bitter smile.
"That's it. No, it seems that other puppets are coming. Let's leave quickly." Liu Ming showed a thoughtful expression at first, but then his expression changed and he said.
In the distance, there was indeed the sound of heavy footsteps again.
Shachuer naturally nodded in agreement and took the lead in walking in the other direction.
The two of them became more and more cautious during the next journey. But as they got closer to the center of the ruins, the number of puppets wandering around gradually increased.
As a result, we still encountered some puppets from time to time, and some fights broke out.
With a "boom", Liu Ming's fist was covered with a layer of black energy, pierced through the chest of a wolf-shaped puppet, and grabbed out a gray crystal.
The wolf-shaped puppet immediately fell to the ground and turned into a pile of dead things.
Shachuer took back the sand that was wrapped around the puppet, her pretty face turned pale slightly. Although her magic power was not suppressed by Wei Mo, she still couldn't keep up after successive battles.
"Do you want to take a rest?" Liu Ming squeezed the gray crystal into pieces with a little force on his hand.
Although the flying sword was sharp, it took a lot of mana to activate it in a place like this. Therefore, Liu Ming simply used his physical strength to destroy the puppets he encountered later one by one.
"It doesn't matter, we are almost at the center of the ruins." Shachuer forced a smile.
The closer she got to the center of the ruins, the paler the woman's face became, and her aura became weaker at the same time.
It seems that the statement made by the great elder of the Sand Clan that the palace at the center of the ruins is a forbidden area for the Sha Clan people is not false.
Liu Ming glanced around again.
When we arrived here, the nearby ruins buildings seemed to be relatively intact. Most of them were black stone houses with strange styles, arranged in a somewhat disorderly manner.
Most of the doors to the stone houses are open, and there are many strange runes engraved on them.
After Liu Ming carefully identified them, he found that they should be some ancient prohibitions. They all looked dim and dull, and there were signs of being forcibly destroyed on some doors.
Around the stone house, you can still see many mutilated puppet remains scattered, including arms, legs, and half of the body. Most of them were covered with black sand. It was obvious that they had been there for a long time.
From all this, we can vaguely see the intensity of the fighting that took place in the nearby area.
"Did you people from the Sand tribe do these?" Liu Ming pointed at the marks on the door and asked with a half-smile.
"This ruins is a forbidden area for our Sand Clan. Although we will come here to look for some puppet parts, we will not destroy the houses here." Shachuer said with a solemn face after hearing this.
"I'm sorry for my mistake." Liu Ming replied apologetically.
Since it was not done by the Sand Clan, it is possible that a foreign monk like him broke into this place and had a fierce battle with the guardian puppet.
Next, the two quickly searched the nearby area for a while, checked more than a dozen stone chambers, and found a lot of puppet remains, but no parts similar to the bronze giant puppet were found.
"Miss Sha, why did we encounter many puppets along the way, but we didn't seem to encounter any giant puppets." When the two of them walked out of a stone room empty-handed, Liu Ming frowned slightly again.
asked.
"Although the giant puppet is not the most powerful puppet in the ruins, it is one of the few controllable puppets that our Sand Clan currently has. The number is very rare. It is said that there are not many in the entire ruins. Can we find the relevant core components this time?
, it depends on luck." Shachuer was also a little worried, but replied quickly.
The two men searched to no avail, so they had no choice but to continue walking deeper into the ruins.
