Chapter 276 (1/2)

Today.

Xu Jiu is undoubtedly a professional special area explorer. It is not too much to say that he is well-informed.

But whether it was the underwater city in the deep sea or the activated earth in the awakened world, he had never had such a strange feeling.

Beyond the barrier, the crowd appeared on a wide road paved with black and gray stone bricks.

Although Zheng Yi had known about the urban relics in the crown level specific area for a long time, Xu Jiu's attention was still inevitably attracted by the urban relics when he really saw it.

This is a gloomy but delicate city.

I do not know if it is a coincidence or some other reason, it is also raining in the crown level special area

The dark sky cast a curtain of rain over the dark gray city.

yes.

No matter the streets or most of the buildings in sight, the construction materials they use show a strange black gray.

From the texture, it doesn't look like ordinary stone, but with the nature of agate.

It is said that this architectural tone, combined with the current weather, coupled with empty streets and silent houses, will only make people feel gloomy.

However, the appearance of these buildings is very exquisite without exception. The embedded doors, the front of the house decorated with patterns, the carved terrace and the bay window inlaid with crystal show the exquisite and elegant architectural style without exception.

It's like a tomb built into a palace, giving people a very contradictory feeling

Zheng Yi, who was standing in the front, was looking around at this time. Suddenly, she jumped up and landed on the house on one side of the street. Xu Jiu motioned others to wait in the street, while she followed.

Out of the sight of street buildings, a city covering an extremely vast area was displayed in front of them.

Zheng Yi looked everywhere, obviously looking for a goal, while Xu Jiu was more observing the layout of the city's ruins.

Looking along the straight broad street, you can see through the roadway, bulbous dome and spire. It is worth noting that there are many squares in the city.

Even at a constant distance, Xu Jiu still noticed all kinds of strange statues standing in the square. They may be the gods enshrined in the city, but they look like human beings and non-human, and the color is not unexpected black and gray

His eyes turned to the edge of the city's ruins.

To the west of the city is a port, which is one of the destinations of this trip. The exploration team can go to the sealed and evil area only by taking the ship that stops at that port.

Yes, there are ships in and out of the port in this special area, but there are no ships landing at present. Moreover, according to Zheng Yi, if you want to board the ship, you must first get the ”ticket” only in the urban relics!

This may sound strange.

Who is at the helm of the ship in the port?

Where do the tickets in the city relics come from?

When Zheng Yi first mentioned this to Xu Jiu, the latter's face was full of ”really, I don't believe it”.

However, Xu Jiu has experienced the adventure of Yuanhai and Lingxing world. It is normal for anything strange to happen in the special area, especially in the crown level special area. Xu Jiu can only convince himself to believe Zheng Yi's plan for the time being.

Further away from the port, that is, the lower reaches of the river, stands a desolate gray mountain range, which gives people an uncertain feeling.

”Yes, the temple in the southeast, that's it!”

Zheng Yi raises her finger to the target location, and Xu Jiu's line of sight shifts.

In the center of the city ruins, there is a magnificent temple located in the center of the huge circular square.

At a glance, Xu Jiu knew that this building is definitely the core of the whole urban heritage. Its status is far superior to other buildings. This is confirmed by the towering stone columns around the main building and the giant statues standing on the square.

Not only that, Xu Jiu soon noticed that the streets of the whole city radiated everywhere with the square as the center.

”Tickets, in this temple?”

Roughly determine the location, Xu Jiu still couldn't help asking.

”The ticket I mentioned is actually a kind of certificate. When we were exploring, we found that a huge three masted sailboat appeared in the port every three hours, and those invisible passengers often boarded the ship with a 'ticket', that is, a badge with a special mark.”

More than a month has passed since the last exploration. Coupled with a long coma, Zheng Yi tried to distinguish the most reasonable route to the temple while explaining to Xu Jiu.

Returning to the street again, Zheng Yi, who had a general route in mind, began to organize the team.

Five mystics were arranged in the middle of the team. In front were Zheng Yi and Zongze Kailu. Albert and Madeline took an apostle at the peak of Guizang to guard both sides. Xu Jiu walked last and was responsible for the safety of the rear.

Walking along the right side of the street, the team was very quiet. Only the collision of weapons and clothes mixed with the sound of rain in the long street.

Although Zheng Yi said that in the first half of the operation, that is, there are not too many dangerous creatures in the urban relics. As long as you pay attention carefully, there will be no big problems. However, because of the spread of evil energy, no one can guarantee whether this situation has been changed.

At the end, Xu Jiu always looked at the nearby buildings. He remembered that Zheng Yi said that there were still a large number of invisible ”people” living in the urban ruins. Therefore, he began to consciously look for their traces after entering the crown level special area.

However, so far, he has never seen any artifacts and traces of biological activities floating in mid air.

You know, it's rainy now. If there are invisible creatures on the street, the rain will be blocked anyway. The reality is that except for the expedition, other parts of the street are just empty.

The interior of the building is not much worse, because the light is dim, Xu Jiu is difficult to see the scene inside the building, and can only reluctantly judge that the interior of these buildings is just an empty darkness.

Led by Zheng Yi, the team turned the first corner without any accident.

There are no monsters, no visions, and no imagined sinister energy erosion. Some are just the small sound of rain colliding with streets and buildings.

This relic seems to have entered a strange static state, but Xu Jiu always feels that there are other things hidden in this silence.

Like the calm before the storm

Every time she walks out of a distance, Zheng Yi will jump on the roof to determine her current position.
