Chapter 102: Stone Age
Faced with the young officer's rude language towards Monica, Tang Yi could only swallow his anger, but don't let Tang Yi find a chance, otherwise he will smash this kid's full mouth of teeth with one punch.
Tang Yi turned his head and asked softly to Monica, who had also heard this, "Do you still want to go in?" ”
Monica nodded without hesitation, and Tang Yi didn't say anything, directly paid the horse storage fee of twenty gold coins, and then entered the city gate with Monica.
The light in the canyon is darker than outside, and Monica and Monica each carry a backpack to the depths of the canyon, in fact, most of the adventurers here are wandering around, because in the eyes of ordinary people, whether they can enter the ancient ruins depends entirely on luck, good luck, disappear while walking, and enter the overlap point of the time field, bad luck, it is useless to wander around in this canyon for a lifetime.
After entering the canyon, Monica has been looking down to pay attention to the ground in the canyon, and occasionally picking up some small stones to see, Tang Yi didn't understand what she was doing, but he didn't bother, just guarded her side, guarding against some unkind eyes.
After walking five kilometers, it was already dark, and it happened that there was a wide crack under the cliff next to it, and Tang Yi planned to spend the night here tonight.
Although it belongs to the south, it is already November after all, and the nights are still a little cold, but unfortunately the vegetation here is sparse, so only a small amount of fire can be seen in the entire canyon.
Tang Yi didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he gave up the plan to make a fire, and after eating something simply, he just spread a layer of plastic sheeting on the cracked ground, and then said to Monica.
"Come, Peach, I'll hold you, so you'll be warmer, and I'll sleep for the first half of the night, and you'll sleep for the second half of the night, and someone must be on guard."
In the past few days, Monica, who was forced to be helpless, had long been accustomed to being hugged by Tang Yi, and she felt that this Tang Yi was very good, and she had not done anything hooligan in holding her, so she almost did not hesitate to lie down beside Tang Yi and let Tang Yi take her into his arms from behind.
Tang Yi was really honest, one arm served as Monica's pillow, and the other arm wrapped around her waist, and after telling "You must not fall asleep", he began to gradually fall into light sleep.
Monica was quite reliable, she woke Tang Yi up when it was close to midnight, and then she kept snorting and turned around, arched her head into Tang Yi's arms twice and fell asleep.
In the past few days, under Tang Yi's single-minded tracing, the eighth stroke of the word "Zhi" has turned golden, and the new one is still an elemental rune, the "water" character text.
After tracing the "water" character script into the first golden color, a detailed note appears, (water, elemental rune, the first golden stroke, when written on the object, will produce a water ball with a radius of ten centimeters. )
After Tang Yi decided to depict this "water" character text as all gold, he temporarily stopped tracing the word "wisdom" and instead traced the first few runes that strengthened the body, after all, those runes were the foundation.
The next day continued deeper into the canyon, while Monica continued to search the ground, occasionally taking out her compass and the piece of paper from the compass to check it.
At night, I didn't find a particularly good resting position, so I could only rest in a slightly concave mountainous area, and when I was eating, Tang Yi finally asked.
"Peach, what's the use of you picking up those stones?"
Monica took out a stone from her pocket and handed it to Tang Yi, "Look at the difference between this stone?" ”
After Tang Yi took it, he took a look at it by the light of the wind lamp, and the shape was a little special, as if there was nothing magical about it.
At this time, Monica took out a few more stones from her pocket and handed them all to Tang Yi, and said, "Look at it again." ”
Tang Yi looked at every stone carefully at the wind lantern, and he didn't see anything in his eyes, so he could only give up and humbly ask for advice.
Monica stroked her long hair and said seriously, "These stones are not the same age as the other stones in this canyon?" ”
"Ah, the stone is still old? Doesn't that mean that the stone still has parents and birthdays? Tang Yi really heard this kind of statement for the first time.
Monica pushed her glasses, gave Tang Yi a big roll of her eyes, and continued: "Of course, everything in the world has an age, I won't go into details on how to tell the difference, now that I told you that the age of these stones is much older than the age of other stones in this canyon, then what do you think?" ”
"Hah!" When Tang Yi played with his hand, he looked at Monica contemptuously, "Hey! Peach, you underestimate me too much, don't you just want to say that these are stones from ancient ruins? How? Are you relying on these stones to find the overlap of the time field? ”
Monica shook her head, "Of course, I can't just rely on stones, but the trajectory of these stones will help me roughly determine the edge line of the time field, don't forget, the overlapping points all appear at the edge of the time field, with the assistance of these stones, plus my own unique calculation method, it is really not difficult to find the overlapping points." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait, I just hope it won't be too long, I don't want to spend the winter here."
Just as he was saying this, a team of torches suddenly appeared on the west side of the canyon, and Tang Yi immediately changed his sitting posture into a half-squat that could attack at any time, and said in a low voice: "Peach, come behind me." ”
When he saw that all the people who were carrying torches to rush to the night were wearing white hooded robes, Tang Yi's heart relaxed a lot, and roughly estimated that the team of "Apostles of God" was about more than one hundred and fifty people, and after walking a distance, five people left the team and found a place at the foot of the mountain to rest.
Tang Yi immediately understood, it seemed that this "Apostle of God" relied on the number of people to implement sectional contracting, and five people searched for an area in small groups, not to mention, this kind of extensive net can really increase the probability of entering the ancient ruins.
However, Tang Yi also realized one thing, there were originally a lot of people in this canyon, plus the "Apostle of God" came up with such a method of slicing contracting, wouldn't it mean that his every move was in the sight of these people.
If they were aware of it when they entered the Ancient Ruins, what would they do if they were to block it in sixty days? Tang Yi didn't believe that the "Apostle of God" was a group of good men and women, and if these people didn't rob him, he swore that he would only touch half of Monica's ass in the future.
Thinking of this, Tang Yi re-lit the wind lantern and sat back on the ground, and asked Monica worriedly: "Hey! Peaches, can you find a more hidden point of coincidence, preferably if we go in and out of the ancient ruins will not be seen. ”
Monica frowned when asked, and only after a while did she say quietly, "I can't guarantee this, at present, according to the arrangement of stones on the canyon ground, the edge of the time field seems to be this canyon, unless there is a deviation on the edge of the time field on the road behind, there is no way." ”
Indeed, this is not something that can be controlled by humans at all, Tang Yi was a little depressed and picked at the stone wall next to him, thinking about whether he could create an ideal environment for entering by himself.
