Chapter 133 First Come First

Arrival Deep in the ruins covered by vines, at the end of the road under the feet of the archmage.

The skinks and monitors were busy with the reconstruction work. They were making noises and grinding stones, preparing to restore the lower city of the city in the sky.

Of course, this requires a formal order from Shilan, otherwise they have no right to recapture the old city.

If a temple city has no magic toads living in it, no matter how prosperous it is, it will be lost and abandoned.

The catastrophe brought a heavy blow to the cold-blooded race, but it did not bring the ancient empire to its knees.

There are few well-preserved temple cities among the cold-blooded species, but that does not mean they only have those few important towns.

Taranksla then let the mage see the other side of the ruins.

The corruption and destruction of demons have made some ruins safety hazards, but this does not mean that they have been completely abandoned.

In the distant past, all cities had their own mission and were responsible for a function in the "great plan".

The river snakes like a great snake between the vine- and moss-covered spires of Taranksla.

Unlike the lower city area that was repeatedly plundered by outsiders, many pterosaurs lived high in the tree canopy, which would fly away from time to time, and from time to time pterosaurs would fly from afar.

The Upper Town of the city is almost identical to the restored Eternal City.

This is the norm for most ruins. Deep in the seemingly abandoned Tallinn, cold-blooded armies patrol back and forth, and reconstruction teams make noise non-stop.

The temple cities of ancient times were larger than one could imagine.

In fact, the endless ruins in today's rainforest are not different settlements.

Eight thousand years ago, each Temple-City was like a smaller province, with the Old Ones' massive airships shuttling between them.

The rainforest divides the former glory of the sky city into countless parts.

The largest and most core piece is the Taranksla that the Archmage sees now.

The mage was led into the bones-filled Pyramid of Vengeance of Sotek. Inside the pyramid, in a room, he was surprised to see Lynch.

Lynch didn't know how to explain it, so he just didn't bother to explain it anymore.

After more than ten days of rest, Lynch recovered completely.

After bidding farewell to the Snake God Prophet, Lynch led the three Asur and continued northward.

Teclis divined again and determined the location of the lost object. It was moving, hovering around the Isthmus of Lustria.

The hot-blooded species in the northern rainforest are no longer rampant, and without demons to hold back the Serpent God's army, Sotek's apostles are still fanatically carrying out blood sacrifices in the jungle as they did in the past.

The best sacrifice is of course the ratman, followed by the hot-blooded people who come to pan for gold.

A new batch of skinks hatched from the Moon City poured into the jungle. They did not need any training and became the best rebuilders once they took up their posts.

After entering the Creeping Rainforest, Lynch discovered more ruins in the shallow swamp.

Pass through the Creeping Rainforest and you will reach the Isthmus of Lustria.

There are only two temple cities on the Isthmus of Lustria, with Hexota being one of the four best preserved cities, and Pahakos, the City of Ashes, being the opposite.

Before the Cataclysm, Paphacus was a city of Skinks.

Many cold-blooded species believe that chameleons are only hatched in Pahuacs.

After the city was destroyed, a small number of chameleons hatched in various places disproved the rumor.

Lynch believed that the rumors were correct, but the subsequent destruction of the city triggered the countermeasures left behind by the ancient saints.

The City of Ashes was rebuilt once again, but was unfortunately destroyed again by a Slaanesh Demon Prince and his demon army.

Lords Mazdamudi and Huniyatanqui ordered the restoration of the city many times, but also abandoned it many times after reoccupying it due to astrological reasons.

After repeated recycling and abandonment, the City of Ashes completely lost its former glory.

Since then, it has been lost forever.

The remaining Slann migrated to the City of Mist, with only the Skink Priests left to maintain its last dignity.

Pahkos was once a holy place for studying the power of time, and the local Slanns had an ultimate understanding of manipulating time.

This also laid the seeds of disaster, as they relied too much on magic.

During the Cataclysm, the Chameleon Legion fought a fierce battle with the demons in the rainforest.

Countless demons died, but after the offensive was blocked, more demons came, and the masters of concealment, who had run out of ammunition and food, were forced to retreat back to the city.

In order to buy time, the Slanns performed a powerful magic ritual, but the magic was distorted by an unknown force and threw the guardians into the realm of chaos.

Tens of thousands of years passed in an instant in Paphacus, countless buildings were buried in the past, and only the weathered central pyramid remained.

It was another night, and Lynch saw the Spine of Sotek again.

It was just to the left of Lynch, who had reached the end of Sotek's Spine.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The shallow water has disappeared, and the ground is covered with gravel and thick moss.

Five or six days further on, Lynch would pass by the ruins of a temple called Spikazuma.

There used to be a matrix of astronomical telescopes there, with countless lenses pulling the sea of ​​stars down into the rain forest.

There should be nothing left now.

The artifacts left behind by Spicazuma had long been moved away, and the gold and decorations had disappeared in the looting of the hot-blooded people.

In Lynch's memory, there were only a few sentinels there.

The Crawling Rainforest was not peaceful. Crossing the muddy ground, Lynch could occasionally find traces of greenskins and ratmen.

Lynch once again sensed the presence of someone peeping in the dark. The timid figure must be a ratman.

Lynch sniffed the stench in the air, trying to locate the ratman, but the next moment, a stronger evil overwhelmed all the smells in the jungle.

A Slaanesh banshee emerged from not far away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lynch had a better hunting target, so he sped up and followed the musk left by the banshee all the way to a small temple.

This is a dilapidated temple that worships an unknown ancient saint, but when Lynch walked in, he found that it was more like an observatory.

A lens is enshrined in the place of the statue, and a succubus is posing in front of the lens.

The succubus that Lynch was tracking smiled cunningly, without alerting his companions at all, allowing Lynch and Asur to approach silently.

The scepter turned into a silver light due to its extremely fast speed, and the two succubi were chopped into two pieces by Lynch almost at the same time.

Lynch stood in front of the lens, shook off the dissipating demon blood, and looked at the lens.

The lens seemed to be reflecting a manor in the old world. Lynch moved closer and observed carefully.

He saw a human being.

He was a fat middle-aged man, wearing gorgeous jewelry and with his shoulders exposed. Through the lenses, he looked at Lynch with lustful eyes and was suddenly startled.

It seems that he cannot accept the transformation of "Beauty" and the Beast on the other side of the camera.

Maybe there is also a lens there that can echo this place, and the man is using the lens to communicate silently with his demon master... Or maybe the two have some other messy relationship.

The hot-blooded man became furious after being frightened, and pointed at Lynch with spit flying everywhere, but unfortunately Lynch couldn't hear what he was saying.
