“The ancient town outlined by the dotted line is larger… Could it be that it is a larger place than before?”
This thought flashed through Xiao Chen's mind, and he decided to go to the ancient town and observe carefully.
Some legends may not be credible, but since they are on the map, there must be a reason.
Then he looked to the west and saw a large red area three hundred miles away.
There are four words marked on it - red restricted area.
Further west of the red restricted area, there is a red lake with the words "Blood Lake" marked next to it.
"This is the edge of the no-man's land..."
Xiao Chen looked at the location of the blood lake and said softly.
Then, he saw a line of small words next to the blood lake - Go west all the way and stop here, the forbidden area of the Demon Realm, a life-threatening situation.
"The Demonic Realm... refers to the no-man's land, right?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. "Grandpa at the front desk, have you ever walked to the Blood Lake?"
Or was it his grandfather's grandfather who was a guide to ancient warriors and heard what the ancient warriors said?
"The Demonic Domain Forbidden Zone is also known as the 'No Man's Land'. It is said that demons live here. Living people are not allowed to enter. If they enter, they will die."
Soon, Xiao Chen saw these words again in the corner of the map.
"It's confirmed, it's an uninhabited area..."
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"For ordinary people, it is understandable that there are demons in the no-man's land..."
After about an hour, the car stopped.
Bai Ye sat in the driver's seat as he wished and stepped on the accelerator.
Along the way, you can occasionally see tents pitched on the roadside, which were obviously where they were stationed last night.
"Why don't they live in Hexi?"
Sun Wugong looked at the tent and asked curiously.
"Haha, maybe he wants to experience what it's like to live in the Gobi Desert."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Since we're here, staying in a hotel is naturally not as fun as staying here... With the yellow sand as the bed and the starry sky as the blanket, and a bonfire at night, it feels so good."
"Brother Chen, can we enter the no-man's land tonight? If not, do we have to camp?"
Bai Ye looked in the rearview mirror and asked.
"Well, the road west of the ancient town is difficult to travel on, so our speed will slow down."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"If everything goes well, we can reach the uninhabited area tonight. If not, we may have to camp."
"As long as I have food to eat, it doesn't matter where I live."
Li Hanhou, who was sitting in the back, added.
"hehe."
Hearing Li Hanhou's words, Xiao Chen and others laughed.
Half an hour later, the shadow of the ancient town could be seen in the distance.
“Almost there.”
Bai Ye's spirits lifted.
"Compared to Hexi, this place is already very desolate, and there are fewer and fewer cars... Did you notice that many cars just now have already gone back?"
"It's normal. For us, the environment here is not bad, but for ordinary people, it may be unbearable."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Also, the brochure says that there are many ferocious beasts in this area, so the safety is much worse."
"Brother Chen, did you bring oxygen?"
Sun Wugong asked.
"Yes."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Not only did I bring a portable one, I also brought an oxygen tank... I'm not worried about the outside, but I'm worried about the uninhabited area. It's always better to bring more things to be prepared."
"It's good to have a bone ring."
Bai Ye and others were very envious.
"Brother Chen, how much is this storage magic weapon?"
"Not many, very precious... However, some big forces still have treasures in their possession."
Xiao Chen said.
"Brother Chen, the task of giving each of the brothers a storage magic weapon is now handed over to you."
Sun Wugong drank the wine and patted the wine gourd.
"It would be great if this thing of mine could be turned into a magic storage device."
"Then I guess you've filled it all with wine, and won't fill it with anything else."
"I can live without food for a day, but I can't live without wine...Life without wine is nothing."
"There is an ancient warrior in that car..."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen looked at a car next to him and said.
"Ancient warrior?"
Bai Ye was cheered up and he even stepped on the brakes to slow down the car.
"Is it a predator?"
"It's hard to say. Just keep driving. If they don't provoke us, leave them alone."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Most of the looters are on the Blood Lake side, or at least they have left the ancient town..."
"In fact, they are thieves with their own code of conduct. They rarely attack ordinary people and only target ancient warriors."
Bai Ye smiled and stepped on the accelerator again.
"Thieves also have their own code of conduct? You overestimate them."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Maybe some people are like this, but most people have no bottom line...
They don't attack ordinary people because they are afraid of being punished by the Dragon King. Once too many ordinary people get into trouble, the Dragon King will definitely take action. At that time, the group of predators will probably not have an easy time."
"If they rob ancient warriors, the Dragon Emperor will not interfere. But if ordinary people let the Dragon Emperor know about it, especially if the matter becomes a big deal and public opinion is stirred up, they may face a catastrophic disaster."
"I guess there are also rules in the plundering circle that prohibit attacking ordinary people..."
"Of course, there are always some people who take chances and attack ordinary people...
Otherwise, where do you think the casualties of ordinary people traveling west came from?
The harsh natural environment and ferocious beasts only account for a small part of the problem. The real danger is predators."
"You mean, those ordinary people who disappeared might have been killed by the looters?"
Chifeng frowned.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"If they kill someone and leave their body in the wilderness, where it is eaten by wild beasts, who can still say that they were killed by humans?"
“…”
Everyone was silent. It was true.
"However, as long as they don't leave the ancient town, the danger is not that great... If the probability of something happening is high, no one will dare to come."
Xiao Chen said again.
"There are people from the Dragon King in Hexi. They should have a good control over this place."
"Brother Chen, I think what Uncle Qi said makes sense. Longmen should send a group of people over..."
Bai Ye suddenly said.
"With only the Dragon King and no supervisor, problems can easily arise...
Who can be sure that the people of [Dragon Emperor] here are not colluding with the plunderers? As long as it is not a big deal, they can work together to suppress it..."
"Well, I will let the people from Guanxi come to Hexi first."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"If nothing else, it's worth it to be able to do something for ordinary people...
[Dragon Emperor] There are indeed many problems, even Elder Long knows it, but it is difficult to reverse the situation. Even if he wants to change it, it will be difficult in a short period of time. "
"Fortunately, Elder Long has done a lot of things, reforming from top to bottom, including arresting and killing the eight dragon heads...
We need to give the Dragon Emperor some time. His achievements cannot be overshadowed. For thousands of years, it is thanks to the Dragon Emperor that China has been protected."
“That’s true.”
Bai Ye nodded.
"Brother Chen, when do we release our aura to attract the predators?"
"No hurry, let's talk about it when we get to the ancient town."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and looked towards the shadow of the ancient town ahead.
A few minutes later, two cars stopped and the ancient town came into view.
"This town... you can't drive into it."
Xiaodao looked around the ancient town and said.
"It's quite dilapidated and covered by yellow sand..."
"I find this place more interesting than the ancient city wall in Hexi."
Sun Wugong was carrying a wine gourd.
"Wait a minute, take some pictures for me."
"really."
Bai Ye nodded and took out his cell phone.
"I'll share the photos with Muyao first."
"Should we go into the ancient town? Or should we go directly west?"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"We have plenty of time and we have nothing else to do, so let's go in and take a look."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he took out a small drone from his bone ring and released it.
He wanted to use this ancient town to compare the map given to him by the front desk to see how authentic it was.
"Hello, are you guys here to have fun? There are quite a few of you."
Someone came over to say hello, wearing a face scarf to protect themselves from the yellow sand.
"Haha, just come and stroll around... Are you guys here to have fun too?"
As soon as Bai Ye opened his mouth, a gust of wind blew in and filled his mouth with sand.
“Heh…Pah, pah…”
"Haha, man, is this your first time in a place like this? You have to cover your mouth and nose when you come here."
The man laughed.
"Otherwise, it's easy to get sand in your mouth when you talk..."
"Well, it's my first time here, so I don't have much experience."
Bai Ye turned around and faced the wind.
"Where did you drive from?"
"Coming from Dongning..."
As a community leader, Bai Ye can easily strike up a conversation with others.
Of course, he also felt the other person's breath and confirmed that he was just an ordinary person, not an ancient warrior.
"I heard that this ancient town has grown a bit in the past hundred years..."
The man said.
"Yeah, we heard about it too. It's a bit strange."
Bai Ye nodded.
"Logically speaking, in this sandy land, covered by the yellow sand, it should be getting smaller and smaller..."
"Yes, because of this, there are many legends... Many people are attracted by these legends."
"Haha, I heard that going west is more exciting... Are you planning to go west?"
"No, it's a restricted area. Many people have died there over the years."
The man shook his head, looking a little serious.
"You want to go west? I advise you not to take any risks..."
While Bai Ye was talking to someone, Xiao Chen was overlooking the entire ancient town through a drone.
Didi.
Xiao Chen controlled the drone and began to measure the size of the ancient town.
"This latest model of military drone is just different. It has so many powerful functions."
Xiao Chen was very satisfied. Although Lao Qin looked expressionless, he was not stingy.
Soon, he roughly measured the size of the ancient town and several prominent landmark buildings.
He took the map and began to compare it.
"There's a problem with the space here..."
Suddenly, Blair said again.
"Hmm? Is there a problem with the space here too?"
Xiao Chen was surprised. He had felt this way when he was in Hexi.
As a result, nothing was found.
When you arrive at the ancient town, do you feel the same?
Is there really a problem, or is it an illusion?
"Let's go into the ancient town and take a look."
Blair nodded.
"After we go in, we should find something."
"Okay, I'll be in in a moment."
After a quick comparison, Xiao Chen confirmed the authenticity of the map. At least here in the ancient town, it was almost exactly the same.
