"No, I have to go find him! The signal where he is now seems to be blocked, and even the satellite communicator can't get through."
Mo Fan was a little worried, what kind of plane is this guy Shen Ming doing?
"This city is so big, how can we find it? The possibility of something happening to Shen Ming is very low. The best way is to wait. Otherwise, it will be the most difficult thing for Shen Ming to find us." Ai Jiangtu immediately rejected Mo Fan's suggestion.
It is suggested that they are only on the edge of this abandoned city now. No one knows how big this city is. If there is danger, there is no way to support each other.
"I didn't ask you to go, I'm just going, and I don't need you." Mo Fan curled his lips and said. He is not as team spirit as these people. Although he does not believe that something happened to Shen Ming, he will never
Might be sitting here waiting to die.
Jiang Shaoxu looked at the awkward atmosphere and quickly stood up and said: "Mo Fan, that's not what the captain meant. There is really no danger here at the moment. Besides, you also know Shen Ming's strength. If something happens,
There can't be any movement at all.
This guy never plays by the rules, maybe he discovered something that aroused his curiosity."
"What do you mean by that?" Mo Fan frowned. He wouldn't mind it if someone else said this, but if it was Jiang Shaoxu, Mo Fan would still feel a little unhappy. After all, Shen Ming
But he saved the other person’s life! And more than once!
Seeing that Mo Fan was a little angry, Jiang Shaoxu immediately shut up. She knew that Mo Fan's character was such that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless, and any further words would only make him angry.
"Let's do this! Mo Fan and I will go find Shen Ming, and the others will wait here, how about it?" Zhao Manyan stood up at this moment. He knew Mo Fan's character very well, and things he knew for sure could not change.
"You insist on insisting, so I can't say anything. I'll give this to you. If you really encounter any danger, this space scroll should be able to save you from danger." Ai Jiangtu shook his head and threw a scroll over.
As the captain, Ai Jiangtu could not put the large army into danger, but as Shen Ming's uncle, he could not watch the other party lose contact. This method could be regarded as the most compromise method.
Mo Fan nodded towards Ai Jiangtu, and then led Zhao Manyan towards the ruined city again.
…
Shen Ming has arrived at the small island in the center of the lake. Looking at the eight statues in front of him, he is still a little shocked.
Each statue is vividly carved, and the fiery red magic lines on the base cannot be extinguished when viewed up close. These lines are still so bright, and the closer they are to the ground, the darker they become.
The magic patterns on three of the eight statues have dimmed, but there is still a burning breath when you get close.
This city has existed for at least a thousand years, but the eight statues in front of it show no signs of corrosion. What is even more difficult to explain is that in addition to the burning breath, these eight statues also have a...
There is a vague aura, but anyone who comes close will feel like they want to surrender.
Shen Ming has seen the big world, so naturally he will not be frightened by a few dead things.
"It's hard to imagine how prosperous this city was before it declined! Underground suppressed by the eight statues, there is still the core of the earth that has not been extinguished.
It seems that the destruction of this city was neither destroyed by demons nor abandoned. This is difficult to explain. Could it be related to the curse?"
The ancient king was puzzled. Even though he was as knowledgeable as he was, he still couldn't explain what happened here.
"Tui of the Earth? Is there such a good thing?" Shen Ming was slightly surprised, thinking that he had found a treasure this time?
Yan Guo Liu Mao, Shen Ming is not someone to be bullied. The secret space restriction just now almost killed him, so why should he be charged some mental damage fee?
"Gu advises you not to have those crooked thoughts. The characters depicted in these eight statues were probably strong men who dominated the world before they were alive! Although the kingly aura remaining on these statues is not as pure as the one before Gu was alive, it can still be regarded as stepping on the path of kingship. path of.
This already belongs to another level of power and cannot be shaken by you. If you had discovered this place hundreds of years earlier, you might not even be able to get close, and you would have been completely wiped out by its autonomous defense mechanism. .”
The ancient king said lightly, indicating that Shen Ming was too whimsical.
"Then it's useless for you to ask me to come here, there is no benefit at all?" Shen Ming was a little angry now, and even wanted to hit someone.
"Of course there are benefits, but they are not here. But... Mr. Shen, do you really feel nothing when looking at these eight statues?" The ancient king asked in a somewhat doubtful tone, seemingly tentatively.
Shen Ming raised his eyebrows, and for a moment he didn't understand why the ancient king asked himself this.
"What do you mean? How should I feel."
The ancient king was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "It's just longing! Don't you think such a life is worth it? Look... these people may have died a thousand years ago, but based on this, they are here We have left footprints in the long history.
Don’t you want to? Although I have always felt that you are not suitable for this path, I still hope."
"Pull it down! I don't understand what you big guys think. Is life boring to you? Why set up such a great flag? I don't care what happens after I die. If I want to care, I care now.
I don’t think about whether it’s a king or not, I just want to know what are the benefits you just mentioned?”
Shen Ming didn't want to talk nonsense with this old comrade, whose thinking was still stuck in the year 2000. Although he lost his original domineering attitude, his values were still the same.
Isn’t it nonsense to think about something that lasts forever? This is the 21st century!
"Gu feels that you are really playing the lute to others. Forget it, with your current strength, you cannot reach that level. Then when will you break through to the super level? Maybe then you will cry and beg Gu, but Gu will not tell you these truths."
Naturally, the ancient king felt that he was being despised, and he had to be arrogant no matter what he said.
"Hurry up, I've been out for so long, Mo Fan and the others will probably have to wait impatiently."
"Gu Hao has really become a tool. I have to bear the anger of you, a weakling, every day. Sigh... If my guess is correct, there should be the core of the thunder element restriction outside under this lake. Didn't you absorb the thunder element? The ability to use energy for yourself? For you, it may be a big opportunity."
"Okay! Modern Chinese is getting better and better..."
Shen Ming walked towards the lake and saw the clear lake water. It was so deathly silent that it made people feel a little weird. No living creatures could be seen in the lake, and Shen Ming could only vaguely see a hint of purple.
"It's time to unblock the third stage of the Crazy Thunder Tyrant." Shen Ming took a deep breath. Since the ancient capital, the ability of the Crazy Thunder Tyrant has been restricted.
While at Shuangshou Pavilion, although the second stage was unlocked with the help of the thunder-type restraining formation there, it did not completely allow the Crazy Thunder Tyrant to recover.
Shen Ming doesn't have much time now, and the plot of the Parthenon will begin soon. Sa Long doesn't know if he will change his original plan because of his intrusion, but no matter what, Ye Xinxia will be in a disadvantageous position
.
The improvement of strength is urgent, and the sooner the third stage of Thunder Tyrant is unlocked, the better.
…
A few hours later, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan finally found the underground passage that Shen Ming discovered.
"There is an underground passage here. These footprints should be left by Shen Ming. What is he doing here?" Zhao Manyan looked at the fresh footprints in front of the cave entrance and looked at Mo Fan with some confusion.
"Strange, this guy has been to this place before, right?" Mo Fan murmured to himself.
"What did you say?" Zhao Manyan didn't hear clearly and asked subconsciously.
Mo Fan shook his head and did not answer the question, but his heart was full of questions.
Shen Ming always makes people confused when he does things. Logically speaking, normal people would not enter a place like this easily. Even if they want to explore some opportunities, they still have to hesitate.
But according to Shen Ming's footprints, it seemed that the other party didn't stop at all and just walked in, as if he were going home, without any worries.
This is not the attitude displayed by a normal person when facing an unknown place. Moreover, Shen Ming has always been very cautious and would not be so reckless.
"There shouldn't be anyone else here. The footprints are fresh. And there is no entrance or exit. It should be left by that guy Mingzi." Mo Fan finally decided to go in and find out.
…
"Jiang Tu... two or three hours have passed. Are we sure we don't want to go find them?" Duanmu Fang frowned and looked at Ai Jiang Tu. Even he couldn't hold his breath anymore.
Because the signals of Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were also blocked, they could not get through the communicator no matter how hard they tried.
In other words, the whereabouts of the three of them are now completely lost.
"Wait! There is no other option except this. We don't know this place at all. So we haven't encountered any danger so far, but can you guarantee that there won't be any accidents if we go looking for it?" Ai Jiangtu took a deep breath.
Take a breath and try to keep yourself calm.
"Captain, why don't we go first and ask for help from the Peruvian government. If something happens, we won't be at a loss! Besides, they should know more about this ruined city, and maybe they know what happened to Shen Ming and the others.
." Zu Jiming suddenly suggested, he already didn't want to stay in this hellish place any longer.
The strange birds outside have dispersed, and there is really no point in staying here anymore. After all, they came in to temporarily avoid danger.
"We are at least two days away from our destination. If something happens, do you think there will be time for rescue?" Guan Yu frowned and glanced at Zu Jiming with some dissatisfaction.
No one expected Guan Yu to say such a thing. Logically speaking, he and Shen Ming, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan are not close friends at all. Especially Mo Fan, shouldn’t he wish that the other party was dead? This way
No one will compete with him for Mu Ningxue.
Guan Yu, who noticed everyone's strange looks, curled his lips and said: "I said that I don't owe others any favors. Shen Ming saved me. Even if I risk my life here, I will repay him. As for the other two guys,
, it’s none of my business.”
Guan Yu's words made the other team members feel a little ashamed. In fact, none of them wanted to find Shen Ming and the others.
Too many things happened along the way, which made these young people who were just starting out in the world suffer several setbacks and no longer had the same vigor as they did at the beginning.
No one wants to explore deeply into this unknown thing.
The strange birds from before, as well as the real ruins city hidden by the Bailey system, all tell that this place is not simple at all. They seem to have touched some kind of taboo, and coupled with the three people who have lost contact one after another, they have actually
Some people want to back down.
"What is that!" Jiang Shaoxu seemed to have discovered something suddenly, pointing at the eye of the storm in the sky and exclaimed.
Everyone turned their attention to where Jiang Shaoxu was pointing, and they all looked shocked.
The eye of the storm, which was originally flowing slowly, suddenly became violent. The rumbling thunder and the accompanying purple lightning made the sky show an apocalyptic scene.
"one person!"
Ai Jiangtu rubbed his eyes and thought he had made a mistake. After confirming directly, he discovered that there was really a person in the center of the town in the eye of the storm.
"Shen Ming?" Ai Jiangtu swallowed and turned his gaze to Duanmu Fang, as if he wanted to get confirmation from the other party.
Duanmu Fang was also stunned. After staring for a long time, he said: "Although the distance is far away, he is definitely not Brother Shen. Besides... that man looks very strong!"
"There are other people in this place!"
The members of the National Team were in chaos at this moment. They had always thought that there would be no other creatures here besides them.
But who is this figure standing in the center of the eye of the storm, surrounded by thunder?
Just when everyone was in shock, a huge scarlet eye slowly opened in the sky, and the figure standing underneath seemed to turn its head to look in their direction, and then turned into a sharp sword.
Soaring straight into the sky, he was instantly submerged into the giant eye!
In everyone's jaw-dropping expressions, the giant closed in pain, the eye of the storm returned to calm, and the overflowing thunder also stopped again.
The members of the national team and Duanmu Fang who witnessed all this did not know what to say at this moment. They were simply shocked for ten thousand years. What kind of god is this?
Could those huge eyeballs have been spying on them? What kind of creature could have such big eyes? Who was that person just now? Countless question marks flashed through everyone's hearts.
The deep feeling of powerlessness also slowly spread. Is this still the world they knew before? Shouldn't they be geniuses? Why are they, as geniuses, experiencing things that they cannot understand? Why do they come again and again?
Feeling deeply powerless for once?
…
At this moment, Shen Ming was surrounded by darkness, but his body was like a light source, constantly emitting purple light.
Suddenly, Shen Ming's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes. His thunderous eyes spoke of mystery and majesty.
Shen Ming's body gradually regained its mobility. Because it was wrapped in water, its movements were strange and slow.
Turning around and looking behind him, Shen Ming continued to swim in that direction.
I don’t know what the thunderballs were absorbed by.
Shen Ming is now certain that the surface of the lake and the surface below the lake are basically two spaces. From the outside, the lake is clear and transparent, and it is difficult to find anything abnormal. However, the real situation below is dark, and there is no clarity at all.
Ah? No light can penetrate here at all. The only thing there is are the purple thunderballs in the darkness. This is also the only thing that can identify the direction. Apart from these thunderballs, it seems that there is nothing here.
"It's still a little bit off. After absorbing a few thunderballs, it should be almost done, right?" Shen Ming thought to himself, he had to sigh at the vastness of the project here.
You should have not touched the real core of the formation at all now. Although the quality of these thunder balls is extremely high, you have to tell Shen Ming that these few thunder balls that even he can easily absorb have maintained the entire formation for thousands of years.
For a long time, that is absolutely nonsense. It only means that so far, he has not come into contact with the real core.
"Boy Shen, we have something good again. Less than one meter to the right of the thunder ball in front of you, there will be a jar. Don't open it here. Put it in your space bracelet first."
"What good thing? Now that I heard you say good things, I have to think about it carefully, so as not to be tricked by you again."
"Don't worry, it's really good stuff this time, and I won't trick you again. But be sure not to open it underwater, otherwise it will all be wasted.
I can only say that you are very lucky, this thing is hard to come by!"
…
…
"I didn't expect this damn place to be so beautiful." Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan finally walked out of the long underground passage and arrived at the location where Mo Fan had been before.
Looking at the bright light in front of us, the clear water of the lake, and the eight king statues on the island in the center of the lake make people feel very majestic and full of holiness.
Just when Zhao Manyan wanted to continue walking, he was stopped by Mo Fan.
"Don't move, there seems to be something weird here! Look at the ground!"
Mo Fan frowned and looked at the deep pit three or two centimeters apart on the ground. It was simply stepped on with his feet.
Who would be bored and make two pits with their feet? There are two palm prints in front of it, which seem to have been forcibly pressed to the ground. There must be something weird in this place, so you must not go indiscriminately.
"Isn't this what Shen Ming left behind?" Zhao Manyan glanced at Mo Fan and said speculatively.
Mo Fan looked around for a moment, but did not act rashly, then frowned and said: "It's strange, there are footprints of a second person here, but when we came in just now, there was only one person, isn't it a ghost?"
"Don't joke with me, I've been afraid of ghosts since I was a child!" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but shiver and said with some fear.
"What are you two doing?"
Suddenly a hand was placed on Zhao Manyan's shoulder, and Zhao Manyan jumped up in fright. Mo Fan also subconsciously reached back and took it out, but he felt his hand hit the iron plate, and the pain was immediate and painful.
Shrunk back.
But seeing the person in front of them, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I asked you, why did you suddenly appear behind us? You are scary, scary to death!" Zhao Manyan couldn't help complaining, and kept patting his chest to show that he was really scared.
Mo Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help complaining and said: "Can you stop running around all the time? It makes us both have to come to you!"
"I'm just curious, so I came here to look around." Shen Ming touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience.
Just a few minutes before the two of them arrived, Shen Ming finally let the Thunder Tyrant take a full breath and successfully got out of the lake.
"Why are you staying here for so long? What kind of plane are you on?" Mo Fan asked curiously, looking at the island in the distance and the eight stone statues on the island. He was obviously very curious.
"I accidentally got tricked and was trapped for a while. My space is very restricted, so just don't break in. Let's leave quickly. This is not a good place." Shen Ming waved his hand and said haha.
, and he doesn’t know much about this place.
There were many places here that Shen Ming didn't understand clearly. With Mo Fan's curious nature, if he didn't stop him, he would definitely run to the stone statue in the center of the lake and walk around.
The ancient king had told him not to touch the stone statue, but he might not be able to persuade Mo Fan, so he had to pull the two of them away in advance to avoid any complications.
Mo Fan was a little confused when he heard this but didn't think much about it. Although he didn't notice the space restriction here, these two deep pits are the best proof. It would take Shen Ming so long to get out of trouble, what if
It's definitely not a good feeling to be attacked, so don't rush in.
…
After the three people came out of the passage, they successfully reunited with Ai Jiangtu and his party.
Hearing Duanmu Fang recount what happened after they lost contact, the three of them couldn't help but be shocked.
But compared to Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, Shen Ming was thoughtful, thinking to himself: He couldn't be the one who saved me, right?
Shen Ming didn't know what was going on with this guy who suddenly appeared and then disappeared. He just thought it was because of his excellent character. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he happened to appear and save him.
"It seems that I need to save more character in the future. When there is danger, there will always be a big boss to come to the rescue." Shen Ming secretly decided in his heart that it must be because of his good character that he was able to avert danger.
Regarding Shen Ming's sentimental thoughts, the ancient king could only express his disbelief.
"Speaking of Mo Fan, did you pay for one of the captain's space scrolls in vain?" Zhao Manyan suddenly thought of something, reached for Mo Fan and said with a smile.
"Old Zhao, shut up! Do you want to chat?" Mo Fan immediately responded and glared at him.
"Haha, I get half of the points on this matter, and everyone who sees it has a share. I still know the market price of the space scroll." Zhao Manyan showed his profiteer expression and said with a smile.
"What the hell? I want a share too!" Shen Ming heard the two people muttering and interjected.
"Go away, you and the rich people should not participate in the sharing of the spoils among us civilians!"
