The matters between the Emperor's altar and the wizard were expected.

The wizard lives in seclusion here. If the place where he lives in seclusion is well known, it cannot be called seclusion. The matter of the Emperor's altar is too far away. In fact, looking at the broken outer wall of Xiaxu, you will understand that this city has been abandoned for thousands of years. Thousands of years are enough to turn history into legends, legends into myths, enough to change the world, and even enough to change the dynasty several times. Even if the altar where the Emperor sacrificed to heaven was well-known public news, it has long become an unresolved historical secret.

If it weren't for the rare unexpected thing like the Nine Yi Master Scroll, who would have cared about the altar where the Emperor of Xia Shi sacrificed to heaven a thousand years ago?

Zhang Cheng had never expected to obtain relevant information so simply from the beginning. The facts also proved that his guess was completely correct.

But the incident of Longyan fragments was a complete accident.

The little bear once clearly stated that these "dragon slicing fragments" are rare objects with no practical use value.

The facts of Zhang Cheng's experience also prove that these cards that can summon animals are really not very effective. Although there are good things like "aquatic venomous snakes" for sneak attacks, more, such as wolves, dolphins, etc., have no combat power at all. Especially for wolf, a level 1 warrior and level 1 mage, he easily killed the wolf summoned by four cards.

Any spellcaster can completely replace these cards with summoning spells. You can even say that the summoning spells will have better effect. Although Zhang Cheng himself does not, he is very sure that there must be summoning magical products in this world. The practical value of these magical products is obviously much higher than that of cards.

The only reason why Zhang Cheng collected the Dragon Martial Fragments is probably that he has a book of the Book of Wizards in his hand. The Book of Wizards is called "Dragon Martial" by the natives of this world, and the cards are called "Dragon Martial Fragments", so these cards have a great possibility that they have anything to do with the Book of Wizards. Of course, after all, there may be no involvement at all, but the source is the same: they are all made by people from another unknown world, so they are just named casually.

From various travelers, we collected about forty pieces of wood and cards. Most of them were wood chips, with only five or six cards. There were only two types of cards, one was the "Prairie Gray Wolf" and the other was the "Vampire Bat".

Vampire bats: Flying creatures in the dark night rely on blood sucking for life. These creatures are naturally able to adapt to complex environments and agilely avoid almost all obstacles or attacks. They consume 0, attack 0 (bite), life 1 (fragile), and characteristics: Flying nimblely and sucking blood.

I don’t know how these cards are made, but it feels like... it is true that the cards of wolves or bats should be easier to create. Because these two animals are moving in groups, maybe a stack can be made at one time.

After asking around, Zhang Cheng had already had some concerns. There is no doubt that the wizard's seclusion was a secret that only a high-level or a specific group of people knew. The altar was even worse because the different people here knew nothing. Not to mention seeing it, they had never even heard of it. It was just - as we all know - because this is Xiaxu, everyone confirmed that there was such a thing.

The major event of the country is in the Rong sacrifice, so since ancient times, there must be an altar for the emperor to sacrifice to heaven in all capitals.

Doctor Kunwu probably learned about this because of this.

At noon, Zhang Cheng entered another urban area.

This place is completely different from the community in Nanling. Overall, it is chaotic, and the residents obviously start construction there when they see where they like it. Because of this, there are no streets and houses in the entire city, and it is messy. Livestock and residents are mixed with the residents. According to the understanding of the people on earth, this is simply the source of infectious diseases. The only thing worth mentioning is that there are several good mansions here. The foundations of these mansions are almost made of stone, and it can be seen that they have experienced many years of storms. Rather than saying that this was built by local residents, it is better to say that they were repaired. There are also few residents here, and they cannot be compared with the one in Nanling, with only about a thousand people.

However, Zhang Cheng looked familiar with this city area because he was convinced that if he flew to the sky with magic, the scene he saw would be exactly the same as what he saw in the game.

In the game, there is a npc that talks nonsense but won't give you tasks in the upper left corner of the city, or the end near the low city wall. Zhang Cheng used to think that this kind of npc was annoying, but now he thinks that maybe he can go and have a look.

But unfortunately, there is no one there. It is not the way that old man left temporarily in the first scene, but the whole environment makes you understand that there will be no people here. There are only ruins, garbage, stones and soil in that area. If a person lives normally, at least he must have a tent, right? Even if you are an escaped slave and really have nothing, you must at least find a shelter to be a nest, right?

This corner is very windy.

This is not because the wind direction is special today, but because this location is affected by the direction of the city wall, wind will naturally gather.

Looking back on all the memories in the game, some kind of uneasiness gathered in my heart. There are too many unreasonable things in the game.

You won’t feel anything when playing games, but when you combine games with reality, when you want to use the content of the game to deduce reality, you will feel something is wrong.

If the army of the princes destroyed the Nanling City District, Zhang Cheng could not understand that this army would let other urban areas go - the trading area could still be understood. After all, the merchants had no worries and could just leave after receiving the warning. However, other urban areas could not escape such a catastrophe.

Also, there is an impression in this game but it does not exist in reality. He regrets it a little and never takes a closer look at what NPC said to him. You should know that although there is a lot of garbled code, if you carefully distinguish it, you can still get some information.

Zhang Cheng doesn’t think anyone would choose this place as a residence. After all, there are still many spaces in this urban area, and obviously there are no planning restrictions from the urban construction department. So, are there any additional reasons for choosing to live here?

Sure enough, something...a disaster beyond common sense happened? Zhang Cheng didn't know whether he should warn Nanling. But if he wanted to leave, where could he go? The migration of so many people was not a small matter, and the cost would be very high.

Hey hey hey, what am I thinking! Shouldn’t I focus on two things? One is Doctor Kunwu’s task, and the other is his own level.

While he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind. He turned his head and saw the bell running out of breath.

"That," Lingling looked at Zhang Cheng and said timidly. "Sister Wu Ling asked me to tell you something..."

She was a little scared because she came here this time not to find someone, but to make an excessive request. To be honest, although she was reposting Sister Wu Ling’s request, even she felt that this request was too excessive. You should know that this person named Zhang Cheng is a scholar, and in the words of Sister Wu Ling, he is a slave owner and noble.

"What's the matter?"

"She said you can deal with those southern barbarians!"

"Nanman?" What is Nanman? Well, at least in this world, the name is too different from that in the game. Just as Huaiyi is a lizard man, Quanrong is a nerd man, Laiyi is a fish man, Guirong is an undead creature... It is really hard to say what this Nanman is. However, if you have to say it again, Nanling really doesn't seem to understand. In this magical world, in this world where great power can belong to oneself, being a leader is really not a good idea. And even if you really want to be an ordinary person, you can still be a saint.

"Sister Wu Ling said, I can let me take you there!" Lingling said timidly. She knew that the Nanman was not easy to deal with. However, Sister Wu Ling obviously did not intend to provide any reward, but just simply asked Zhang Cheng to fight.

That kind of attitude is not about treating Zhang Cheng as an outsider, but about directly treating him as a subordinate. Lingdang feels that he is Zhang Cheng, so he will definitely be furious with such excessive demands. Even if he falls in love with Sister Wu Ling, it will be the same.

"Okay," Zhang Cheng decided to accept this requirement. After all, experience value is the bottom line. "Take me there."

"You... that... agreed?"

"Yes, take me there." Zhang Cheng said.

Lingdang led the way in front, and the two left the city, left the city wall, and entered the wilderness. From this point of view, even cities like Xiaxu are far from comparable to metropolis on earth. No, there is no need for the grade of metropolis. Even second- and third-tier cities, their area and population can completely outgrow this abandoned city.

If it is a modern city, if you walk from the city center to the suburbs, even the straight line distance is enough for people to walk for half a day or even a day. And Xiaxu, starting from the city center and going to the wilderness, and even without arable land, only took about an hour and a half.

Calculated based on Earth time, it is about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It cannot be said that it is early, but it is not too late.

The bell leading the way stopped. But even though she didn't stop, Zhang Cheng noticed something was wrong. Because there was a stinking smell coming from the air.

However, for the people on earth, this is not a torture, it can only be said to be a fresh experience. After all, there may be problems with other things for so long, but the air quality is absolutely unspeakable. Even the dungeons of undead creatures do not have any odor. Dust, haze, acid rain, etc. are all products of industrial society and do not exist in this wilderness era. Apart from volcanic eruptions, this world has no power to change the air.

At this time, the air did not stop. In fact, the wind kept blowing, but the stench not only did not disappear, but instead became thicker and thicker.

Is there anything so smelly? Zhang Cheng is puzzled. But this seems to be indescribable. Because computer games cannot express the element of "odor".

Lingling stopped and said with certainty. "The Southern Barbarians should be right in front of them. They said that they should be Baimans, with a large number."

"Baiman..." As for what Baiman is, Zhang Chengzhen didn't know anything. Is it some kind of barbarian? Or something else? What else is it so smelly?

"Someone was grazing here before," Lingdang whispered. "I was attacked by the southern barbarians,"

Indeed, this area can be said to be fertile. Even in this early winter, the grass still grows strong. This land must be great if it is used for animal husbandry.

Bell took the lead, and both of them were short. Relying on a clump of shrubs as a cover, Zhang Cheng could finally see what was in the distance.

It turned out to be this task...

Zhang Cheng forgot which NPC gave this task in the game. Anyway, he was going around in Free City and took all the tasks he could take, and this task was included. This is a very simple and direct task: go outside the city to kill a group of goblin robbers.

Yes, goblins. A very common creature in fantasy games, short and despicable. The combat power is very poor. Basically, any low-level warrior can rush into the goblin pile to play unparalleled. Killing three or five is like playing. It is easier for a mage. Basically, it is just a few fireballs and the world will be purified.

Because it is a very simple task and a typical gift of experience, Zhang Cheng did not leave much impression. Zhang Cheng didn't even remember how many goblins he killed in the game or what tactics he adopted in the battle.

But... the problem seems a little different now.

"It's right ahead..." The bell was very nervous in his voice, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva while talking.

Normally, goblins are not powerful enemies. Even ordinary humans will not be afraid of goblins. But there is an exception, that is, when the number of goblins reaches a terrible standard.

What Zhang Cheng saw was a real goblin army. It is hard to say how many goblins there are. These creatures are densely packed, and the bare heads they swayed in the view. Most of them held simple weapons - they were made of hard-burned wooden spears or axes and hammers made of stones. Only a few goblins wield swords like metal, and some had rough and short bows and arrows.

Did you remember it wrong? There seems to be no such quantity in the game!

I don't know what the goblins are doing. They gathered together, as if they were having a meeting. But they were noisy and were caught in some kind of dispute. If a fireball was released at this time, it would be absolutely fine to kill 300 or 50 goblins.

The problem is that the number of goblins here is estimated to be over 100.

"How much land do you think is here... Baiman?" Zhang Cheng asked the bell beside him.

"There are probably a few hundred." Lingling's face was no longer very good-looking, but she was still trying hard to support it. Even she never expected that so many Baimans would gather in this place. No, not only Baimans, but also other things.

She clearly saw a completely different tall figure among the Baiman. Although it was the first time she saw the bell, she immediately understood what it was. In legend, those evil creatures who always mingle with Baiman and command Baiman are considered one of the enemies of human beings. Although among the enemies of human beings, these guys cannot rank in terms of strength or number, they are also enemies.
