The moment he finished speaking, the wind stopped and the ripples on the water surface disappeared.
It was as if they had touched some terrifying taboo. An invisible terror spread over. In the shadows, pairs of distorted eyes opened and were spying on them.
This feeling came and went quickly. It disappeared in an instant, making people almost think that it was an illusion.
Fang Wen frowned and his expression became cold. He said coldly,
Are you sure you're not joking?"
The ancient king did not refer to a single king!
Instead, they were Conferred Kings from the Lost Era, or even emperor-level existences.
After all, according to the few documents, the ancient kings were different from the present. Even if they had the battle prowess of an emperor, they might not be able to become an emperor.
There seemed to be some kind of special restriction that prevented him from becoming a Martial Monarch Realm expert.
Therefore, in this era, the existences that could be called kings were all terrifying existences that could pluck stars with their bare hands, crush continents with their feet, interfere with other dimensional worlds, and even crush small worlds.
Each of them was a pioneer of the times.
Before the Lost Era, including the kings of the Lost Era, they were all called the Ancient Kings or the Old Kings.
The meaning behind it was a king buried in the ancient past!
Ever since the Lost Era began, a terrifying war had occurred. A large number of ancient kings had fallen, and even the truth of the past had been buried.
Many modern historians wanted to restore the truth of that period of history, but as long as they tried to explore it, they would soon suffer misfortune. All their relatives and even friends would suffer misfortune and eventually die.
Over time, after a large number of historians died, this period of history became taboo. Very few people dug up the truth of this glorious lost era.
After all, half of the land was occupied by humans. The outcome was good for humans, so there was naturally no need to investigate a history that was already over and filled with danger.
And the only places that could possibly retain history were only recorded in a few sects that rose from the Lost Era.
However, it was impossible for ordinary people to enter the sect to look for information.
And now, most of the ruins were left behind from that era. In fact, they were just palaces or small worlds opened up by the ancient kings. That was why they were hidden in the void and only appeared at special times.
However, there might be treasures from the ancient times in the ruins of the ancient kings. Every one of them was extremely precious, and there might even be weapons left behind by the ancient kings.
In this world, there were often stories of lucky people discovering ruins and reaching the peak of their lives.
However, other than the lucky ones, there were also many cities that were destroyed because of the appearance of the ruins. They were eroded by the aura inside, and millions of lives were devoured.
After all, not all Ancient Kings were humans. They could also be existences that harbored evil intentions towards humans. They might not have completely disappeared and were waiting for their return one day.
After all, it was said that even if some of the most powerful beings were buried by time and their souls and bodies were obliterated, they could return with just a call.
It could be said that the ruins of the ancient king had both risks and opportunities.
However, what puzzled Fang Wen the most was why Zhou Chong's companion would enter the Ancient King Ruins. And why didn't he die after being contaminated by the curse?
The biggest question was, how could Zhou Chong come out unscathed?
If one were to think about it maliciously, could they think that the reason why he wanted to find the Divine Body of Life was because he was inspired by the relic?
In fact, it was not to save his companions, but to sacrifice or open some treasure?
This was not because Fang Wen was suspicious, but because…
The human heart,
It was something he couldn't afford to gamble on.
Fang Wen could accept it if he only wanted to go to the hospital to try and save him. However, the price Zhou Chong had to pay to go to the mysterious Ancient King's Ruins was far from enough.
Even a king tier might not be able to escape unscathed after entering the Ancient King Ruins.
Thinking of this, Fangwen calmly refused,"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Although the Ancient King Ruins was fragrant, Fang Wen would still know his own capabilities. A small shrimp that could barely contend against an Earth Soul Stage cultivator would be like a dish delivered to the ground.
Zhou Chong could tell that Fang Wen was rejecting him. He couldn't help but feel anxious and hurriedly said,
"I'm not asking you to go now. I can give you these things in advance. When you're able to contend against Celestial Phenomenon or master Shi related to life, it'll be fine.”
"Why didn't you go to the Department of Mysteries?" Fang Wen asked.”
Zhou Chong sighed and said,
"If they knew, it would definitely be divided among the kings. Why would they save a few ordinary Extraordinaires? The biggest possibility is to destroy the ancient king's ruins. Although there is a possibility of rescue, but…I can't afford to take the risk!”
Because his life was no longer just his own!
"We'll see."
Fang Wen did not reject him directly, but he did not agree either. Anyway, the initiative was in his hands. It would not be too late to make a decision after figuring out the other party's intentions.
After understanding Fang Wen's attitude, Zhou Chong felt a little helpless, but he could not force him.
After all, although the young man in front of him was young, his wisdom and skills were not inferior to his, and his strength was not much different. He already needed to treat him seriously.
He could only hope that the other party would be tempted by his reward or that he would want to obtain the treasures in the ancient king's ruins.
However, although Fang Wen had rejected him, he still had a question. He asked,
"Logically speaking, since the ancient king's ruins have been discovered, the Department of Internal Affairs should have taken control of it, right?”
Zhou Chong said with certainty,
"I'm sure of that. No, this is a relic that we discovered ourselves. The Department of Mysteries doesn't know about it, and I'm sure no one has discovered it.”
" He can be sure that the ruins haven't been discovered…The only possibility is…"
Fangwen caught a clue from the other party's words. He narrowed his eyes and said softly in his heart,
"Unless the ruins are very close or simply near Hang City.”
Otherwise, there was no way to control the situation in the ruins.
Fang Wen did not ask because he knew that Zhou Chong would not answer. After all, how could an old fox reveal all his trump cards?
However, just because the other party didn't say it didn't mean that Fangwen couldn't deduce it himself.
The lizard demon he had killed before had mutated because of the pollution of the Ancient King's aura.
However, Hang City was not destroyed, which meant that the Ancient King was probably not alive. Instead, it was a relic or a remnant aura in the ruins.
In other words, this lizard was very likely to have come into contact with this ruin or even escaped from it!
If a lizard could sense the change in this aura, could it mean that this ability was also effective against monsters?
And according to the system's description, coupled with the recent frenzied wave of monsters attacking the city...
One thing was certain.
Zhou Chong was probably not lying. The ruins did exist.
However, the gap had already been exposed. It was not as impossible as he said.
But thinking about it, it was normal. After all, this was the Ancient King Ruins, not something an Earth Soul like Zhou Chong could control.
It was inevitable that problems would arise after a long period of time.
As for whether they would be discovered, it was only a matter of time!
If not for the system explaining the origin of the lizard monster, Fang Wen would not have thought of this.
It was fine if he did not know. After all, it was impossible for Fangwen to go to an unknown ruin with someone he had just met.
The journey was filled with too many dangers, and there was also Zhou Chong, who did not know his true thoughts.
However, now that he could confirm that the relic was near Hang City, the meaning was different.
He could totally wait until he was strong enough and go alone!
Although he was a little black-hearted, he had one less hidden danger.
After all, there were too many suspicious points about Zhou Chong.
Moreover, Fangwen had the Nirvana ability as his trump card. He could be reborn every day, so he had more confidence to explore.
Since Zhou Chong was able to come out alive, it meant that Fangwen could do the same.
As for the fact that without Zhou Chong, Fang Wen would not be able to find the location of the ruins?
Fang Wen only smiled and did not say anything. After all, he had an extremely special ability.
Golden Law!
I'm still working hard to write. I'm about to start a new storyline. I'm asking for support. I'll at least release ten chapters. If my results are good, I'll release more!
