Douluo's Gourd

The huge wooden city gate has decayed, half of it is tilted, and the other half is down on the ground not far away.

Judging from the messy footprints around, it should be moved by the previous team, and it seems that they have all entered the city.

Taking advantage of other people's inattention, Wang Xiaofeng touched the city gate quietly. Sure enough, the seemingly thick city gate crumbled between his fingers like tofu, and it was already weathered.

Everyone walked in through the gate and found that the ruins in front of them were almost intact.

The bluestone slabs on the ground are still hard, but the vast streets are empty.

There were so many footprints left on the street, and the light from the torches was very dim, it was difficult to tell which way the second prince and the others had chosen, and they didn't know what danger lay in the depths, so the generals discussed it and decided to focus on the city gate. Search around.

In this way, even if it touches any mechanism, it will not cause large-scale casualties, and it can also improve efficiency.

"Finally, we can act alone." Wang Xiaofeng and Nidia easily got rid of the soldiers who had been secretly watching them, and walked into the city along the street.

Wang Xiaofeng found a house closest to him, and poked at the window... The seemingly intact wooden window quickly turned into a pile of powder.

Looking into the room, the living room is well-arranged with furniture, and there are dishes on the dining table. It is very neat and there is nothing messy.

Then they checked most of the nearby houses and found that all the rooms were neat and full of life.

It's just as if time suddenly stopped at a certain time, and nothing has changed, the only problem is... people are all gone.

No bones, no corpses of any kind.

Not even dead animals.

The whole ruins...or the whole city, 'clean', 'complete' is extremely surprising.

It seemed as if someone took an eraser and erased the city's creatures.

"what should I do now."

It was also the first time for Nidia to encounter such a strange situation, she nervously grabbed Wang Xiaofeng's clothes, and kept looking around, as if an invisible monster was hidden in the darkness.

Wang Xiaofeng stroked his smooth chin, raised the torch in his right hand a little higher unconsciously, looked at the light source above his head, and instantly caught a thought that flashed through his mind.

He said: "Let's go to the city center to have a look, maybe we can find the mission target."

Dai Mubai must have also discovered the same situation, and the dry food brought by each person is not much, it is impossible to support long-term research.

Getting in and out is also very troublesome.

Therefore, from his point of view, he would rather take some risks and obtain valuable things in it, such as items like the mask on the outside or knowledge beyond the times, rather than just some bowls and chopsticks that can only be used as antiques.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for him, the prince, to go out with bare hands.

The two walked along the street towards the center.

The search team behind them gradually couldn't see clearly, only the torches in their hands guided them in the direction.

After walking for maybe ten minutes, the two of them walked further and further away, until Wang Xiaofeng stopped suddenly, causing some avatar Nitya to hit him on the back unexpectedly.

"Ouch! My head... why did it stop suddenly."

"I think we should have found our target."

Wang Xiaofeng sprinkled some pine oil on the torch, and the flame burst suddenly.

Netia opened her eyes wide, and with the help of the soaring flames of the torch, she seemed to see from the darkness that there was a huge object rising into the sky.

That should be the goal Wang Xiaofeng was talking about.

"Let's go, this underground space is much bigger than I imagined."

The two moved on.

Before long, they came to the center of the city.

With the help of Wang Xiaofeng's fourth soul ability, Nidia finally managed to see clearly what the huge object in front of her was.

A huge, pyramid-shaped building.

Made of large black square stones, it is very tall, at least estimated to be [-] meters high.

In such a city center, there is such a huge pyramid, which makes people feel very abrupt.

It's like martial arts comics suddenly mixed in with Transformers.

Extremely awkward.

The two circled the pyramid for a week, and as expected, there were many footprints at the entrance of the pyramid, which showed that the direction they were looking for was correct.

Wang Xiaofeng patted the gourd on his waist, and the multicolored amplified light immediately covered the two of them, and Nidia also summoned the moonlight scepter and held it tightly.

I thought there would be hidden weapons inside, and I might even see the corpse of my companion.

But what they didn't expect was that the above was purely a personal fantasy, and there was nothing in it.

Except for the stones of the pyramid itself, there was nothing there, not even the murals, which directly poured cold water on Wang Xiaofeng, who had a high desire for knowledge.

Maybe it should be there, but it may be that the technology of the pigment is not good enough, and it has evaporated over a long time.

Ignoring Wang Xiaofeng who was sad alone, Nidia walked around and found the upward ladder very smoothly.

"Maybe all the good things are on it." Netia's soft words immediately made Wang Xiaofeng's blood boil.

The two kept going up, and finally came to the top of the pyramid.

When he came to the top, Wang Xiaofeng realized that this golden tower has no spire, and the top is actually flat.

The space on the top of the tower is not big, only about [-] square meters, so Wang Xiaofeng saw at a glance that there was something like a sacrificial altar in the middle of the top floor.

"Is this the temple of some god?"

Wang Xiaofeng made a bold guess, but the actual situation needs to be investigated in detail.

The two walked in and observed carefully, and found that this sacrificial altar was empty in the middle, as if it was a large sink (or a square swimming pool without water).

Wang Xiaofeng jumped into the water tank and found that the water tank was engraved with words all around.

But it doesn't match the current mainstream characters of Xingluo and Tiandou, it should be ancient characters.

Wang Xiaofeng asked Nidia to come down to take a look, but Nidia hadn't seen it either, so she had to take a blank paper rubbing and get someone to translate it when she went back.

The clue was broken, Wang Xiaofeng was a little disappointed.

Nidia pulled her clothes suddenly, pointed to him not far away, and said, "Look, Xiao Feng, there is a small stone tablet there!"

Wang Xiaofeng turned his head to look, and found that there was indeed a black stone tablet standing there.

He shouldn't have missed such an obvious thing...

Wang Xiaofeng asked Nidia to stand a little further away, then put the gourd in front of him, and walked over cautiously.

It is indeed a black stone tablet with words written on it.

There are about two lines of words, and the font shape is completely different from the font shape on the surrounding walls, so there should be no repetition.

However, there were two mosaic-like black things covering the middle of the words, Wang Xiaofeng frowned, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe it off.

But the moment his fingers touched these words, the stele shone brightly.

Wang Xiaofeng was startled, and his body stepped back suddenly. At the same time, the gourd on his chest instantly grew bigger, blocking him like a shield.

"There are traps, be careful..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Xiaofeng's head suddenly felt a tingling pain, and his sense of space and direction were directly distorted.

The whole person fell heavily to the ground, he didn't dare to get up at all, his head was dizzy, so he didn't dare to move around.

After he regained consciousness again, took control of his body, and then... Hearing loud human voices.

There is also a comfortable breeze sweeping over the face.

Ok?

Wang Xiaofeng opened his eyes, the darkness dissipated, and then he saw... a bright and vivid world.

...
