Chapter 133 A Very Fresh Corpse
Ruan Xing slowly sat up and looked around.
Although this place was also a ruin, and the dust that had been accumulated for who knows how long made everything in front of him full of gray colors, Ruan Xing could be sure that it was different from the scene he saw before dying in the last simulation.
That is to say, although her landing point was high in the sky, the place she landed was not the same place.
She slowly extended her spiritual sense. The maximum range of the spiritual sense of the Jindan stage could reach about one kilometer, but even so, she did not see any cultivators within a kilometer around her.
But there was good news, she found her flying sword, which landed on a rock not far from her.
Ruan Xing moved slowly, climbed onto the rock, picked up his sword and used it as a crutch to support his body.
She touched the huge rock beneath her and felt that it seemed somewhat familiar.
When she first entered the world of cultivating immortals, she had just learned about spirit stones. She remembered that stones with less than 20% spiritual energy content could not be used as low-grade spirit stones. However, because they contained faint spiritual energy and were as smooth and crystal clear as jade, they were very beautiful, so they were often used in construction as basic materials.
The large pieces of irregular stones in front of us are very similar to the unqualified spirit stones mined from the spirit mine, except that they have lost their original spiritual energy.
One by one, crystal clear stones as big as grapes were glued together by unknown means to form walls or foundations, and then for unknown reasons they broke into larger pieces of stone.
After wiping off the thick dust, the smooth stone surface reflected a lot of light.
But not all the ruins of buildings are made of this material. Looking around, you can see more ordinary stones and wood.
Ruan Xing frowned and thought, could it be that this place was a town many years ago?
Supporting most of his body with the sword, Ruan Xing stood up and randomly chose a direction to move forward.
Because her broken leg had not fully healed, she had a hard time walking. Moreover, the ground was full of uneven broken walls and even sunken potholes, which made it even more difficult for Ruan Xing, who was unable to use magic, to walk.
The place where she landed should be a luxury store exclusively for high-level monks. In addition to the magnificent foundation walls, there were also two broken red wooden pillars. In the ruins inside, Ruan Xing also saw some things similar to counters and antique shelves.
But perhaps it was because the time was too long and the things inside were not properly protected. They had long lost their spiritual energy and could not be identified. When Ruan Xing touched it lightly, it turned into fragile pieces.
It feels like the end of the world.
If she had arrived here not long after the town was destroyed, she might have been able to get rich by picking up trash. After all, the things in these shops seemed to have been damaged only by age.
Unfortunately, she arrived too late.
After crossing this area and walking forward a dozen steps, Ruan Xing suddenly stopped.
There was a skeleton under my feet.
Half of the body was buried, the hand bones were placed on the head, and the upper body was slightly curled up, which looked like an instinctive self-rescue posture.
But monks will not have such a subconscious reaction. When faced with danger that they cannot resist, 90% of monks will choose to escape on their swords.
This person is most likely a mortal... Ruan Xing reached out and moved his hand bones to check, and indeed there were no signs of cultivation.
Since no useful clues were found, Ruan Xing continued to move forward. Unfortunately, the key left by Immortal Lord Guangyou was still in Qin Taihe's hands. She didn't know in advance that this space-time rift would be related to the key, so she didn't borrow the key in advance.
Now we can only slowly search for the inheritance left by the Immortal King without any clue, and see if this strange place is a secret place.
If it was a secret realm, it would be too strange. There was no living creature in the ruins. In her previous life, she had seen some apocalyptic AI simulations. No matter why a city was destroyed, various plants would grow quickly, various animals would appear, and it would return to the state of the original forest, because this was the ecosystem evolved by the natural laws of the earth. But here, there was nothing but ruins, dust, and garbage, not even a blade of grass, which made Ruan Xing very suspicious whether there was any treasure here.
After walking a few more steps, Ruan Xing stopped again.
No... How could the bones of a mortal be preserved for so many years?
There should have been many spiritual items in that luxury store, but they were all turned into powder. There must be something more solid than this mortal among them, right?
Ruan Xing looked back, enduring the pain on his body and dug out all the buried bones. Only then did he discover that the corpse did not only have his bones left, but also some pieces of cloth that looked like clothes, as well as a straw backpack and a hoe.
It looks a bit out of place.
The sense of incongruity was so strong that Ruan Xing thought about it for a while and could only come to the conclusion that the time was different.
There was no other reason. Everything in the collapsed shop told Ruan Xing that they were at least several thousand years old, but this corpse was different. It was too new.
The longest period of decay for mortal weavings is eighty years.
Although the clothing fragments and straw backpack on the corpse had been almost decayed, they had not completely disappeared, proving that the person had been dead for no more than a hundred years.
As far as she knew, this space-time rift first appeared a month ago. It did not appear when the cultivators from Zhongzhou who were participating in the Jintai Secret Realm were going to Nanzhou, but appeared on the way back to Zhongzhou, which led to their annihilation.
Perhaps a hundred years ago, this space-time rift suddenly appeared and disappeared somewhere.
But in short... Ruan Xing still got some information through this corpse, which he didn't know whether it was useful or not.
Not everyone is born in the sky.
This mortal... obviously didn't die from falling.
Ruan Xing continued to move forward. This time, in addition to paying more attention to whether there were any special treasures left in the ruins, she also paid attention to the unknown corpses.
Most of them shattered into pieces as soon as she touched them, and were not as new as the first one she touched.
She silently withdrew her hand, and the strange thought in her mind was whether the corpse with only bones left could be used as material to make a puppet.
I don't think it's possible. They have turned into bones and it is impossible to summon their souls.
Ruan Xing laughed at his own inexplicable fantasy.
After walking for about another hour, Ruan Xing finally saw a relatively complete building, an arched house similar to a yurt. It was the only one with a roof on the street.
It is also the only one with less dust.
Without spiritual power to cast spells, Ruan Xing had to act much more cautiously. Before entering the building, she scanned it with her spiritual sense first.
Ruan Xing's pupils suddenly shrank.
She felt a faint breathing sound inside the house.
Thanks for the monthly ticket ~
