039 Useless searches

"Hey, I didn't expect to end up in this field. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Walking between the ruins and broken walls, Duan Qing sighed in distress.

After discovering the ruins before, in the instinct of the game, several people decided to search the place in a comprehensive way - this kind of place almost wrote "There is a treasure here" on their faces, without a carpet search, it is simply sorry for the experience of several people who have been playing for many years.

After a brief discussion, they came up with a unified opinion, and then they were divided into groups and decided to explore the area separately. But before that, the first thing that needs to be done is to get the consent of the great magician sisters.

If they don't agree, it's all for nothing.

Two equally beautiful women with very different images looked at each other, and then nodded their heads to allow the adventurers to explore, and they also thought that division of labor and cooperation were the best way to explore at the moment. It's just that they asked that later, everyone should reassemble and exchange all kinds of information with each other.

"We'll keep going and check what's going on. In the evening, meet in the small square in the ruins. ”

Christine left this sentence and left with her sister in tow.

The grouping after that was also very fast. It is impossible for Broken Mountain and Snow Spirit Phantom Ice to be separated together, although they are already teammates, the two of them belong to opposing guilds, and they don't like each other. Fortunately, both of them are high-level players, and each with a newcomer can ensure basic safety, so Broken Mountain chose Liu Qingniu - they had some like-minded interests before, and Xue Lingphantice chose Mengzhu's little sister, although the two women were a little estranged before, but after repairing some relationships, they were finally able to get along well, and most importantly, both of them were female players.

What Duan Qing doesn't understand the most is this, why female players are born together, whether it was in the past or now, Duan Qing has seen I don't know how many groups of female players are grouped like this, as if only they can have a common language together......

In any case, the final result is: the third group of members, one person - Mo Shang Qingshan.

Of course, Duan Qing himself protested, but the effect was very small. As the strongest among the players, Broken Mountain was inexplicably very relieved about this, and Xue Lingphantom Ice also said seriously, if you encounter danger, remember to hold on alone for a while, and remember to shout for help - the rest of the people will come to save you.

I'm just a rookie player in the teens! And it's just one person! Alone! Leaving aside how many things you can do in such a search mission, if you really encounter something strange, you will probably die here...... This is close to the center of the ruins!

Duan Qing angrily pulled open the door of a certain house, and with the sound of wood breaking, the door fell to the ground with a very cooperative click.

Rather helplessly, he looked at the wooden door that was "dying", and Duan Qing looked into the room.

It is said to be inside the house, but in fact, it is no different from the outside of the house. Due to the erosion of time, the roof of this house has collapsed, and with the help of the light from the outside, the situation inside is clearly visible. Duan Qing observed the layout of the room for a moment, and then walked in the direction of the corner of the house—there were still the remains of the only artificially left wooden furniture.

After rummaging through the cabinets for a while, I found almost nothing but the rubble left behind by the stones from the roof. Duan Qing stood up helplessly and looked around - this should be a bedroom, and there should have been a bed in the middle, but now there were only traces of wood debris encircled. The only remaining bedside table next to it was still standing, but it was also in a crumbling state. Duan Qing had also rummaged through some wooden cabinets like this before, some of which were scraps of clothing, and some of which were scraps of paper and sheepskin—it seemed that this ruin had existed long enough, and even the sheepskin had not survived the long river of time.

Of course, not everything is destroyed. Duan Qing also found some iron gadgets, but they were all gadgets like scissors and sewing needles, and they were not of great use. When Duan Qing picked up those things, he could still see some simple instructions of the system.

【Rusty scissors】

[I don't know what age it is, it's rusty, and it's no longer usable]

Most of the other things are also described like this, and after this period of game experience, Duan Qing also understands that this kind of system description is actually hinting at the status of this item - it doesn't even mention the quality of the item.

It's all a hard-working item, and if you use it as a weapon, it will probably break due to extreme decay.

Turning over a large hole that had appeared due to the collapse of the wall again, Duan Qing went directly to another room. In addition to the rubble that still littered the ground, there were some collapsed wooden shelves, and wooden chests.

Hey, treasure chest...... Duan Qing sneered, saying that he would not be fooled again.

When he saw a box like this for the first time, Duan Qing was a little excited. However, it turned out that a game like the free world could not have such an obviously unrealistic thing as placing a treasure chest somewhere, Duan Qing's hand touched the box in front of him slightly, and it shattered like a pile of weathered sand.

In addition to a pile of unrecognizable garbage, there was only a rag that looked like a part of clothing, leaving some useful information.

"Fall...... Fa ......." Duan Qing discerned the words written on the remains that looked like some kind of animal fur for a long time, and finally gave up this kind of thing that was too difficult for him: "Fa what...... Ahhhhh......h

Through the pattern in front of him, Duan Qing could roughly guess that this place was a storage room, but after such a long time, no matter how good the storage room was, it couldn't store any items. Duan Qing shook his head, walked over to the scattered wooden shelf, and picked up a spear from the ground...... of the tip.

It seems that the barrels of these spears were also made of wood.

Duan Qing naturally couldn't see the material of the gun head, but he could also guess that it was probably made of some kind of metal. The tip of the spear was divided into four ridges, but three of them had corroded together due to the rust of the rain. The spear has also lost its original purpose, and if you want to use it as a means of attack, you can only use it as a throwable object......

"Daddy!" Duan Qing threw it on the ground.

He looked up at the clear sky, which had no canopy to cover it due to the occupation of the former village, and silently questioned the sky.

After coming to the Emerald Forest for so long, they finally had a place to loot, but they didn't expect that in the end, they didn't lose to the pioneers who started playing the game first, but they lost to time.

It seems that this ruin has been defeated by time, and there is nothing useful left behind.

Duan Qing walked out of the ruins, kicked a fragment of a wheel away, and came to the road next to the river. The wood chip fell into the river not far away, and on the opposite side of the riverbank, the sound of turning sounded at the same time, and the originally small sound echoed in this quiet area, which was particularly noticeable. Duan Qing understood that it was probably the noise made by the other two groups of people when they were trying their best to find it.

For some reason, Duan Qing's heart suddenly felt a wave of frustration: there was probably nothing of value to be found here.

No wonder the two great magicians left so simply......

Duan Qing sighed, found a stone next to the river and sat down, looking at the river in the middle of the ruins. In front of the road where he was the bend of the river, and the road also turned with the river, and continued to extend towards the unknown front, and it seemed that the bend by the river was once built along the river. A short distance ahead, some stones were filled in at the edge of the creek, and some sawdust was floating at the end of the extension of the stones, which looked like a small pier that had been built along the river, but now it was useless, and there were no boats around.

Duan Qing thought about it, got up and patted the soil, and then walked over there.

When he found the river before, he had a thought that told him what the river should be for, and then they found the ruined village, and the use of the river was explained - if he was to choose a place for human settlement, then a place with a water source would be the best choice.

However, seeing the sawdust floating on the road between the rivers, this small river may have had more functions in the first place, such as the stone road in front of it, if it was a wharf, then it should be a good way to transport goods, and the people here may have loaded the goods there and transported them to the front - according to Duan Qing's observation, this river should eventually flow to the foot of the tower, then there are many more things that can be done here as a village......

As he got closer, Duan Qing realized that the stones were not ordinary stones, but some stone pillars - the river here seemed to have become deeper, and the stone pillars had been submerged so that they were only a little exposed, but they were still barely able to form a path. Duan Qing walked along the stone pillars to the end, and then looked around.

He saw pieces of wood, a square sign supported by an iron pillar more than a man high, and ...... The clear water of the river flowing slowly.

The words on the sign were already illegible - such an iron brand, placed in such a place with such heavy moisture, no matter how corrosion-resistant it was, probably would not work. Duan Qing tried to see the slightest clue related to this place from above, but it was indeed just a rusty red brand, and no matter how you looked at it, you couldn't see the flowers.

Duan Qing looked around, and in addition to the broken sticks, broken wood chips, or broken wooden planks all over the ground, there were a lot of stone chips and aquatic plants, rusty iron nails and wires—there were probably some buildings here before, but they were now destroyed. He looked into the creek again, and the water was crystal clear, but he saw nothing—and he hoped so, for any living creature was dangerous in this strange forest.

Maybe find something to wipe this sign and see something? Thinking of this, Duan Qing looked back, there was still a stone house that had been kept intact, and it was located side by side in the middle of the ruins of the row of collapsed houses. Duan Qing stopped and looked at the somewhat large house for a while, and then walked there with his feet.

There was a loud sound of collapse in the distance, followed by Ah Niu's exclamation and the continuous roar of Broken Mountain: "Be careful, boy! Do you want to kill us......"

Probably the anxious Ah Niu collapsed somewhere, and it seems that they can't find anything valuable...... Or is it something monster you've encountered? No, it doesn't seem right...... They hadn't encountered wild monsters since they entered the basin. Maybe they migrated en masse? Or is there any protection in this place from the invasion of monsters? Or is there some kind of demon boss or something that scares off all the other monsters?

Without any clues, Duan Qing could only guess and think about it, although even he didn't know what clues to find to be useful, but there was no other way than to find out what information was used to support the starting point of logic.

By the way, if it's a system......

Duan Qing opened the system menu and skillfully found his adventure notes, only to see something like this on the map: "Emerald Forest - around the Emerald Tower, the ruins area." ”

Although there are four more words, it still doesn't tell me where this is, and even Phil's Treehouse has a Phil's name...... Duan Qing shook his head, then pushed open the rotten wooden door.

This place was indeed much bigger than the ruins and ruins he had been to before-this was the feeling that rose in Duan Qing's heart the moment he walked into the house opposite. Then, he was attracted to the counter in front of him.

It's kind of like a ...... in the real world. Bank counters.

Although there is a lot of decay, the place in front of you still preserves the original structure. Although there was a lack of shielding glass and door panels, Duan Qing could still tell from the remaining remains that this place should have been divided into several windows and counters, probably used for offices and affairs separately.

Finally, I found a more important place......

With a kick to open the half-side barricade hanging in the air, Duan Qing went around the counter. It was still in a state of decay, and it was hard to find anything useful. Duan Qing searched carefully for a while, and finally turned out an iron plaque from the rubble of the wall that fell behind.

It should be a sign, or badge.

The badge was round, palm-sized, and surrounded by a circle of lace, and Duan Qing could see from these patterns that this logo should have been designed very exquisitely. But the pattern in the middle is very simple - there are several large blank spaces, as if there are many stones piled on top of each other, or those white woods are placed haphazardly.

Because of its age, the degree of rust of the iron plate is also very high, but Duan Qing can still distinguish the composition style of this pattern from the yellow-brown background. Because of this, Duan Qing couldn't see what kind of meaning this simple pattern represented.

Is this carved in stone? Or wood? Because they live among huge trees, do they use such a concise and atmospheric pattern as a logo?

With the current clues, these inferences are random conjectures. Duan Qing shook his head, put the iron plate away, and prepared to show it to Christine later, maybe with the knowledge of a great magician, he could tell the meaning of the pattern of this badge.

There was another muffled sound, and there was a sound of collapse on the other side of the river, Duan Qing thought that it was someone from another group who had collapsed the house, but the next moment, a scream belonging to Mengzhu rang out.

Duan Qing rushed out and immediately saw what was happening over there.

Across the riverbank, on the opposite side is the direction in which Mengzhu and Snow Spirit Phantom Ice went before. Now the little girl was standing on the bank of the river, with her back to herself, looking at a house behind her, and the end of her ponytail fluttering gently showed her restlessness. Duan Qing just wanted to ask loudly what happened to the accident, but in the room in front of the little girl, a figure suddenly flashed out.

To be precise, that figure rolled out.

Although the distance was very far, Duan Qing couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but from the black cloak, it was certain that that person should be Xue Ling Phantom Ice. She scrambled to her feet from the ground and rested her sword across her chest as if on guard, but her head kept bobbing slightly from side to side, as if she wasn't sure where the enemy was about to appear.

The idea is so handy? Duan Qing also stopped shouting so as not to distract his teammates, but found a way to go over first. With the strength of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, there should be no problem holding out for a while, and the two Ah Niu on the other side should also arrive in time when they hear the movement here......

It's just that in this way, the previous conjecture was overturned so quickly, and there are still monsters here......

The sound of arrows and nails sounded, Duan Qing turned his head suddenly, and the situation over there finally changed.

The black cloak rolled on the ground again. Where she had been standing, several slender sticks stuck there, as if someone was attacking with the legendary crossbow arrows.

"It's a vine!" Before Duan Qing could figure out the meaning of the scene just now, on the other side of the river, the shouts belonging to the broken mountains rang out.

As soon as the words fell, a certain house in front of Mengzhu and Xue Lingphantom Ice suddenly collapsed. In the sunlight, an abrupt green color emerged from the chaos of rubble.

It was a cut of the vine.
