As soon as they entered the city gate, Li Ming and the Saint were greeted by the ruins of a large area of dilapidated buildings.
The Liuli King City seen from the outside was intact, with no sign of damage. However, after entering the city, they found that the entire city was in ruins. The streets were filled with broken stones, which emitted a glow under the firelight.
The crystal luster looks like these gravels have been calcined by a raging fire, either turning into fly ash or turning into porcelain...
There is almost no complete building in the city, all are broken walls and ruins, most of the buildings have collapsed, and all of them have no roofs.
Flashing blue-white firelight can be seen everywhere on the streets and in the dilapidated ruins of the city. This royal city must have experienced a very tragic war before falling into the spirit world...
"What exactly is going on? Are the enemies of the Phoenix clan a god or a demon?" Li Ming asked in surprise.
"This...I don't know much about the ancient world of gods..." the saint replied with a frown.
"Let's go and look around." Li Ming walked towards the empty long street, looking at the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, the existence of this city made him feel extremely excited, because according to the system settings, this place is not only the existence of an ancient miracle, but also a mission map in a land of ignorance!
In other words, in this ancient city, there must be tasks for players to take on in the Borderlands, and whoever can complete the tasks will have ownership of this territory!
The missions in Borderlands are originally special plot missions set by the system in the respective maps of the two empires. After completion, you can gain control of the map and make it a private territory for players.
However, there are already masters within the scope of Peace City, namely the Lost Gods and the Lost Demons, so there should be no Borderlands missions within the scope of Peace City.
But the situation in Tianjie Mountain is different. It no longer belongs to the two empires and Peace City. The mission of Borderlands appears again here!
But this Liuli King City is really damaged...
Li Ming walked on the street, heading towards the distant city center, and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
The city tower of Liuli King City is very large, but the area within the city is not large. After all, it is limited by the terrain, and its size is the size of a high-end town.
However, it can be judged from the ruins of various buildings in the city that this was once a prosperous city. All kinds of precious birds and beasts from the Phoenix Clan and the ancient divine world gathered in this city.
Slowly, the two of them walked through the eastern half of the city and gradually came to a straight street near the center of the city. Going further, they saw an open square at the end of the street. Opposite the square was another square square with golden lights.
City, this should be where the royal palace in the center of the city is.
The Liuli Palace is the core of the entire city, located in the center of the city. Once here, Li Ming can check whether there are any missions, and by the way, he can also judge from the surrounding environment whether there are any traces of his opponent's previous visit.
No matter who comes here, they will definitely go to the city center to see it.
Moreover, the city gate in the south of the city should be facing the passage on the other side of the boundary river, where enemies will definitely appear.
After passing half of the city, Li Ming and the Saintess had already seen countless blue-white fire balls in the city. The number of Phoenix clansmen killed in the city had exceeded dozens. You can imagine how intense the battles in the city must have been back then.
The cruelty!
When we arrived at the end of the long street, the golden inner city towers in front of us were intact again. After passing through the palace wall, we could still see that the palace complex inside was relatively well preserved...
Moreover, in the square area in front of the palace tower, countless fireballs can be seen shining everywhere. In the battle that year, the Phoenix clan must have fought hard to protect the royal city, and that was why so many Phoenix clan members died in the battle.
"It's strange. The outer city is in such a state of ruin, but the palace seems to have been undamaged?" Li Ming asked doubtfully.
"It must be protected in some way. The battle here seems to be more fierce, but the damage to the city is much lower." The saint also said doubtfully.
"Let's go and have a look at the palace first." Li Ming was about to walk forward and walk out of the street.
"Wait, don't move, I heard noises from around me!" The saint suddenly grabbed his arm and led him to hide among the ruins on one side of the long street.
"What...what's the sound?" Li Ming couldn't help but asked in surprise as he was pulled under a broken wall in the ruins.
"Listen, there are footsteps." The saint signaled.
Li Ming suddenly became alert. His teammates were still on their way here. There would be no one else here except them, unless it was...
Sure enough, when he calmed down and listened carefully, waves of light footsteps sounded from afar, as if they were just walking out of the long street from the other side of the square.
"There are indeed people, a lot of them." The saint said softly.
Li Ming is even more afraid to reply to the saint's words now, because as soon as he opens his mouth, the content of the conversation will be displayed in the public channel. If the other party is within a certain distance from him, he can see what he said in the public channel...
…
But it doesn't matter to the Saint, she is an NPC, and what she said will not be displayed in the players' public channels.
The saint and the witch could not form a team, so Li Ming could only make gestures to tell the saint to be careful about her voice.
Hiding behind the broken wall, the sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer. The number of people on the other side was indeed quite large, at least dozens of people. Otherwise, they would not have been heard from such a distance.
The two of them hid there quietly, listening to the footsteps approaching from far away. A few minutes later, they arrived at the square dozens of meters outside.
At this time, lines of fonts appeared in the public channel...
Sky Prodigal: Here we are again, but unfortunately we still don’t have any clues.
Eternal Glory: Don’t worry, our people are collecting information and will solve the mystery here sooner or later. However, the most urgent task is to find the secret passage to the Elf Valley or Dragon Burial Wasteland from the Liuli Palace Passage on the other side as soon as possible.
This is the most important thing. We must not let them continue to oppose us.
…
Sure enough!
Li Minggang was shocked after reading the two lines of dialogue...
His guess was once again proven to be completely correct. The enemy really wanted to use the passage to attack his own nest!
But the words of Cangqiong Prodigal made Li Ming not only excited. There are indeed system-set tasks here, but the enemy has not yet found a way to crack the tasks...
Unexpectedly, the other party coming here this time was actually the heads of the two major sects, Sword Dance Cangqiong and Glory Temple. Fortunately, these two major sects came together, because these two sects are not in the same camp and cannot form a team for the time being.
, so the team channel cannot be used, so such a shocking secret is leaked in the public channel.
The other party also did not expect that in this very secretive special map, their biggest enemy would be hidden at this time... (To be continued)
