Chapter 541 Sir, we found something good!

Although sometimes, people of the same race are more hateful than people of different races; but most of the time, people of the same race can still stick together for warmth.

A high-level relic is enough to plunge the surrounding cities into a state of war! At that time, it will be a large-scale melee based on races. A hundred years ago, the emergence of a medium-level relic caused several surrounding cities to be in turmoil for 20 years, with millions of casualties! After figuring this out, the leaders of the two cities all changed their faces slightly.

"This mirage is too shocking, and it must have alarmed many species. If it is really a high-level relic... war may not be far away."

"You mean, cooperation?"

"It's better than a war between the two sides, isn't it? How can we take a high-level relic all by ourselves?"

"That's fine. Let's just work together for now."

The two sides discussed it and decided that under the shadow of war, it would be better to go over and take a look, and plunder as much as possible.

Just like that, the two sides set out again in a mighty manner, one after the other.

…

A few hours later, the armies of both sides stopped on a small hill, looking at the green city in the distance.

As night falls, the temperature gets lower and lower.

The two-horned horse's body was trembling. After running for two consecutive days, its physical strength had reached its limit. Even the air it exhaled was slightly cold.

But everyone's mind was attracted by the distance.

The city is not very large in area, but it has been preserved to a very high degree, with most of the buildings well preserved.

The green plants in the ruins were frozen into large lumps of ice.

The most eye-catching thing is the fluorescent cars! The streets and alleys are full of cars. (From Lanpeng Civilization)

That number is too exaggerated. At a glance, there may be tens of millions of vehicles!

Most of the mechanical vehicles have not been maintained for a long time and look gray and covered with a thick layer of patina, and some are even rusty.

But you have to know that technological products are extremely precious in this icy and snowy environment.

Because the price of fuel is very expensive, coal, as a necessity of life, is very expensive. The cost of smelting steel is even more expensive!

Whether it is Ulan City or Mailao City, they have already known about the existence of technology - with so many races gathered together, how could there not be a technological civilization?

However, the main reason for not vigorously developing technology is that this damn place is too cold. The highest temperature is only minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature in winter can drop to minus 80 degrees Celsius! Even a level 6 master can't stand the extreme cold wave!

In such a low temperature environment, water pipes, equipment and storage tanks are easily frozen, the oil becomes thicker, and the failure rate of equipment increases significantly.

With factory operations restricted, the development of science and technology is naturally difficult.

"Do you still have the energy? Should we rest here or rush to the ruins today?"

"Sir, the final mountain road is rugged and may take five or six hours."

"Our mounts are almost exhausted. We must rest, otherwise the bicorn will die."

"Then quickly find a col that can shelter us from the wind and snow. We will definitely arrive tomorrow!"

The two groups of people had red eyes and urged their horses to speed up, leaving a series of deep pits in the snow.

The sun sets in the west, and night falls. Green City is just around the corner, only the last thirty kilometers away.

At this moment, there is no need to think about dividing the spoils. As long as a city gets tens of thousands of cars, it will be a huge fortune... Although these cars are most likely broken, the materials and parts alone are worth a fortune and can be traded with other civilizations.

Things like headlights and electric motors can all be used separately.

"Hey! Stop, everyone stop, this place is suitable for rest!" Suddenly, the lord of Ulan City, "Tagang", saw a small hill and pulled the reins and shouted.

The team quickly hid behind the hill and began to build an igloo.

The igloo was hemispherical, with a thick layer of straw on the roof, and then a layer of clothes; at the same time, the spiral walls inside the house were hung with animal skins, which produced a very high warmth-keeping effect. The two-horned horses exhaled white mist and chewed beans to slightly restore their strength.

The other team from the city of Mailao was not far behind, and the soldiers took out small metal shields and placed them on the igloo.

The carvings on these small metal shields have the properties of concealing and keeping warm, which are even better than ordinary animal skins.

Tagang couldn't help but sigh: "This is the heritage. We don't have enough wealth to carve such carvings, and we have to carry extra warm baggage."

Looking down from a high place, they became even more eager for the property in the ruins and could not wait for the sun to rise again.

At this moment, the ground shook slightly with a "boom".

Everyone's eyes widened immediately, and Tagang even took out a telescope - although the workmanship was very rough, it was indeed a telescope.

Two black monsters suddenly appeared from nowhere and ran at high speed in the ruins! One of them looked like a turtle, with four legs, a head, and a tail.

But this turtle is too big. Its shell is as high as a three-story building, and its neck is as high as a five-story building.

The other one is even more terrifying!

I don’t know what it is, but its size is even bigger than the “Spider King” in the low-level ruins, and its two big pincers are making “clicking” sounds.

The two huge monsters collided passionately while running, and strange noises came out of their mouths.

"Are these supposed to be the guardians of civilization? These two things are not easy to deal with. We have to rely on heavy weapons to have a chance of winning." Tagang hid behind a hill and watched quietly.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and heavy breathing came one after another.

Everyone started thinking about how to deal with the turtle on the third floor.

The most important thing for a person is not fighting ability, but wisdom.

"Don't be nervous, we are downwind here, so it's not easy to be discovered."

"This turtle must be a treasure. The meat alone is worth a fortune! And the turtle shell, did you see it? There are naturally occurring carvings on it... It's incredible! I have every reason to suspect that this turtle shell is a great carving material."

"You mean..."

"It is the essence of the ruins. It is best to capture it alive and tame it. Bleeding it every day is better than killing it." A university scholar named Constantine stroked the extraordinary glasses on his nose.

"But what exactly is that giant scorpion-like insect... I can't tell. I don't seem to recognize this kind of monster."

“I don’t know how many crises this city still hides.”

Even though everyone was in a frenzy, they still had to remain cautious. The soldiers started to make a fire and cook, with only a few leaders watching.

After a while, something shocking happened! A group of children rushed out of the small cave and started playing with the snow and climbing the turtle.

The turtle seemed very excited, carrying a group of children and moving at high speed.

These native creatures have excellent eyesight and can distinguish the presence of children from the heavy snow from dozens of kilometers away.

"How is it possible... How did a group of children suddenly appear? They look similar to us!" The fifth-level warrior, Tungmu, showed an incredible expression and screamed, "These children are playing with the turtle... The turtle is laughing very loudly!"

"What are they talking about?"

"…It's too far away, I can't hear it!"

"Hey, Tungmu, you are still young." Constantine, the grand scholar in the team, talked eloquently with an expression that showed he was used to it.

"There are two possibilities for this phenomenon. First, this is some extraordinary ability of the turtle!"

“Civilization declined, the population disappeared, and the tortoise imagined his past life to comfort his present self.”

"Don't underestimate the guardians of civilization. They are all very intelligent and can recall the past... and they have all kinds of abilities."

"So it has the ability to attack mentally?"

"I think there should be!" The Grand Secretary made a gesture.

Everyone's muscles were tense. Mental attacks were difficult to deal with, and methods like digging traps were not very meaningful.

"Wahaha!" At this moment, the voice of the immortal giant turtle came from afar.

Everyone felt that their sanity had been affected.

Even the city lord Tagang agreed with this statement in his heart: "It seems that we have to change our thinking to deal with it."

“These children…are there any other possibilities?”

"Of course, it's called a review of history!"

"Some powerful civilizations, even if they have completely perished, will still leave behind a lot of historical traces. This is because at the moment of extinction, the civilization released a lot of idealistic energy." The Grand Scholar looked at the heavy snow in the sky and said confidently, "You should know about a divine skill called 'Historical Retrieval', right? This divine skill can find the marks left by history."

"But under certain special conditions, there will be scenes of natural history going back, but the number is relatively small."

"So, these kids are either hallucinations created by the turtle, or they are a flashback to history!"

Everyone showed expressions of admiration.

Grand Secretary Constantine traveled to various countries when he was young and was very knowledgeable. Even the strangest scenes could be explained reasonably.

A soldier murmured, "So this is really an intermediate civilization? Otherwise, there would be no historical regression phenomenon."

"Absolutely...it might even be a high-level relic! And the original owner of this relic was also human, so we can use a lot of things directly."

"We can use armor, shoes, furniture, etc. without any modification. It's really a treasure from heaven."

Suddenly, someone else screamed, "What are those things... robots? Grand Master, are these robots also illusions created by the turtle?"

The Grand Secretary stroked his glasses and looked at the humans' power armor clearing the snow. He couldn't make up his mind for a while.

How could this scene be so real? He snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate illusions!"

"A true vision-level ability that can make the fake look real and interfere with reality."

"Perhaps that turtle is really powerful and wants to change the fate of the city being swallowed by the heavy snow..."

"It's a pity. This is the North, a place without life. It will eventually be buried by the snow."

"Only life can resist the cold wind and frost."

Then his eyes lit up: "Wait, I got it! There is a third possibility. Some of the machinery in this relic is still able to function! This is amazing."

"It means that wealth is more valuable than we imagined. You should understand what a functioning machine means, a complete industrial chain."

His voice was quite confident, and everyone's mood became more enthusiastic.

"Grand Maester, there's a creature in the sky, a long, train-like thing! It's falling down!"

With a slight "boom" sound, the creature fell, splashing a large amount of water vapor and white mist, and the whole area was covered in fog - it turned out to be a small mirage dragon, it couldn't help wanting to laugh, so it fell from the sky.

"This could be... a variant of the sky lizard? It's really huge..."

The Grand Secretary recalled something from his distant memory: "When I was young, I once saw a group of sky lizards in the far north. They flew in the clouds and fed on ice and frost. The one in front of me should be a close relative of the sky lizard, but it is much larger than the sky lizard."

Everyone was shocked. This relic was indeed a den of dragons and tigers. Unknown giant creatures appeared one after another.

Now there are three of them at once, which is really hard to deal with.

You can't just see the wealth and ignore the risks.

"It may be that it is not adapted to the severe cold, so it fell from the sky." The university scholar analyzed.

The city lord was puzzled: "A creature of this high level would also be afraid of frostbite?"

As a level six warrior, he could run naked in the snow for a long time even without clothes, let alone this giant creature.

"Lord City Lord, you don't know that we have extraordinary fire, so we are more resistant to cold."

"And this giant organism has a large size and a large demand for calories."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"And this is just a close relative, not a sky lizard that lives in the snow." The Grand Secretary came up with his own theory. "No matter how rich this ruins is, how much food can it produce? It's probably starving to death and dizzy, unable to maintain flight."

Everyone showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Doesn't that mean... after they freeze to death, we can just take action?"

The Grand Secretary shook his head and said, "No, these creatures usually have a way to hibernate. When their physical strength decreases, they will just hibernate. It is difficult for them to actually freeze to death. Do you see that cave?"

"I guess that's where the extraordinary animals are kept."

He pursed his lips and looked towards the small cave.

The small cave is black all over, like a big stone, and it is not very attractive in appearance. It is believed to be the habitat of animals.

"What's more, we have competitors...time is not on our side!"

"Oh, that's right... those kids have gone back!" "The turtle has gone back too. Let's have a good rest and make sure to get to the ruins tomorrow."

Tagang gritted his teeth, took out a bottle of precious physical recovery potion from his arms, poured it into hot water, and distributed it to the many soldiers and horses.

This may be the biggest opportunity in his life!

"Seize the opportunity. The rise of the Ulan clan begins today."

This experienced city lord even began to think about how to transport materials on a large scale. Obviously, the carrying capacity of the two-horned horses could not transport cars, and a larger tonnage beast of burden was needed.

How can we kill the guardians of the ruins? How can we deal with the alien races that are eyeing us and want to get a piece of the pie? More and more questions popped up in my mind.

"Oh, it would be nice if I could tame that giant turtle."

…

On the other side, the team from Mailao City was also discussing the same issue.

Especially the scene of the children climbing the turtle surprised them, as if they had never experienced such a strange thing in their lives.

"Are those kids really a throwback to history? Why do they feel real? Does this place have an owner?"

"Impossible, the ancient civilization has long been extinct! Only animals without intelligence can survive to this moment. This is an iron law!"

“That’s right!”

They keep looking for reasons to numb themselves.

Facts have proven that no matter which world people live in, as long as they get their minds going, their greedy nature is almost the same. Just like the telecommunications fraud in Earth civilization, when the police come to the door, the victims are still unaware and are still looking for "reasonable" excuses to numb their nerves. - As long as the wealth is large enough, greed can overwhelm all rationality and rationalize all unreasonable things.

The tallest man, "Daogu", took out a water naan and took a sip of high-purity wine. The spicy taste stimulated his nerves along his throat.

He fantasized about more wealth and higher power.

The wind and snow outside and the current hardships are nothing.

The sun set and the weather began to cool down. The turtles and giant insects all returned to their nests.

…

…

"Warning! A severe snowstorm is coming in three hours. Please keep warm and be careful of missing persons."

"Extreme cold waves are expected. It is recommended to stop all outdoor activities and recall all cleaning robots."

"Repeat that..."

Old Cat heard the weather forecast on the radio, took another look at the gray sky, and made a phone call: "Conch, where is Lu Yuan? He's not frozen to death outside, is he?"

"He said he wanted to go outside to experience the world... He will definitely not freeze to death, don't worry." Miss Conch said confidently, "I have a little clone of him here, he is fine."

Having said that, the predecessor of the Greedy Demon, the Chaos Essence Stone, was soaked in magma.

If I really would freeze to death, I might as well find a piece of tofu and hit my head against it and die.

Lao Mao hung up the phone and reconnected to the government's emergency security meeting.

"This extreme cold wave is very terrifying. The temperature may drop to minus 200 degrees Celsius!"

"It doesn't snow in this place for 12 months of the year, does it? A huge snowstorm greeted us on the first day?"

An expert from the meteorological research team said on the screen: "We have simply calculated the thickness of the ice and snow. The average thickness is over two thousand meters. This shows that the climate here is somewhat similar to the North and South Poles of the Earth."

"But even at the North and South Poles, there are sunny days. Otherwise, where would there be so much water? Don't be too nervous."

“That’s true…”

"This extreme cold wave originated from the north. We detected a faint spiritual fluctuation."

"You mean... the remains of civilization? Or natural treasures?"

“It’s possible.”

Everyone was eager to get started.

According to the "Law of Conservation of Risk", the more dangerous the place, the higher the probability of the existence of civilization relics.

People are now eager to dig a big one and achieve another major development!

"Everyone, it's important to protect yourselves first, and stop exploring! Since this is the first day here, there's no need to rush to eat the blizzard!" Old Cat gave the order to the soldiers, "Stay in the room and eat something good."

"Of course, the necessary duty and alert are still required. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

The old cat gazed into the distance and thought to himself: I wonder if there is any civilization surviving tenaciously in this land of ice and snow.

…

"Those huge monsters have returned to their lair!"

These battle-hardened men, who had long been experienced in the snow, tasted a hint of danger in the air.

The snow stopped suddenly, and not a single snowflake disappeared.

It's like the calm before a huge snowstorm.

The Grand Secretary looked at the increasingly dark sky. The gray clouds took on a spiral shape like a snail shell.

His expression suddenly changed: "Not good! An extreme cold wave may be coming, and we are right in the center of the eye of the storm!"

"Quick, quickly expand the igloo! Concentrate all the warmth-keeping resources, manpower and material resources into one igloo."

"Hurry up!"

He practically roared and shouted the order.

When more than 200 people heard the term "extreme cold wave", they couldn't help but tremble all over, as if they were recalling terrible memories.

With so many people and so many horses, they would need to dig an igloo of at least 500 square meters!

The depth had to be at least four meters! They prayed that God would have mercy and not lose his temper on the last day.

"Sir, we found something good!" Suddenly a patrolling soldier shouted.

Everyone rushed out to see that four soldiers including Tungmu had dug out a strange big lump.

This lump looks like the shape of an egg, very hard and oval in shape.

It is particularly eye-catching under the light of the fire. Its surface presents a variety of textures, and its colors are dark gray, light brown, or dark blue. It blends in with the surrounding environment, but inadvertently reveals its uniqueness and extraordinaryness.

Its tonnage is also quite high, roughly estimated to be 20 tons.

"What is this thing...that fell from that city?"

The Grand Secretary stroked his beard and said, "Think about it, everyone. Wasn't the ruins of this city suspended in the beginning?"

"It landed on the ground later. During the landing process, this iron lump fell from the sky above the city and landed here."

With this explanation, everyone understood immediately.

"I see!"

"Is this thing a treasure?"

"It should be a pile of industrial waste." The university scholar tapped the metal shell with his fingers, making a "dangdangdang" sound.

"It's solid. I can't identify it. It's not some extraordinary material."

"It's too heavy. We can't take it back now."

Everyone felt sorry for it. It would be great if they could pick up a car. But this broken thing is really useless.
