Chapter 1314

There is no doubt that staying on the edge of a living forest is a very nervous thing.

Although the living environment here is a hundred times stronger than the endless desert outside, when night falls, everyone in the team becomes very nervous, sitting around the campfire and tasting the chowder soup made of unknown plants and dried meat.

As a doomsday world where 80% of the surface area has been desertification, the vegetables and fruits here are 10000 times more precious than meat.

Even those high-ranking people may not be able to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, so everyone present could not help but subconsciously swallow their saliva when they saw the green color in the pot, even if they had eaten some green fruits with strange shapes and sufficient water before.

However, the team leader obviously had some concerns and didn't have dinner in a hurry. He stirred the spoon in the soup pot and asked the boy without raising his head: "Luke, if you don't mind, can I ask if you want to explore this huge ruins?"

"Why not? This is the capital of the most powerful empire in the past, also known as the blessed land of the gods. To some extent, it represents the old world before the collapse of order and has considerable research value." Luke gently closed his old book and replied with a smile.

If the greatest harvest of this long journey across half the continent is what, it must be all kinds of complete or incomplete books and knowledge.

Through these words from hundreds of years ago, even thousands of years ago, he finally had a clear understanding of the world and even the darente invaders.

In short, the world was at the peak of theocracy before the arrival of darentes. Hundreds of gods with different names and titles were competing for mortal beliefs and trying to establish a unified mortal country controlled by gods.

However, unfortunately, due to the inherent arrogance of gods, no one will disagree with anyone in the end. No matter how powerful gods are, they have formed an alliance with their competitors with similar strength based on their character, world outlook and values.

It is the composition of these alliances that makes even at the peak of theocracy, it is still full of strange internal contradictions. Even believers are hostile to each other and fight each other, just to please the god they serve.

Finally, they paid a high price for their shortsightedness and ignorance.

When the darentes opened the portal and flocked to the city, which was contested by countless gods, was instantly covered by terrible magical plants. It is said that except for a few powerful spell casters, the rest, including the royal family, could not escape.

The original brilliant and powerful empire collapsed overnight, and the rest of the country surrendered and died under the fierce attack of the invaders.

It is said that a large number of treasures, as well as the large library with the largest number of books in history, are still intact in a corner of this activated forest.

"Oh? Are you here to pursue knowledge?" the leader raised his head and showed a surprised expression.

You should know that the most valuable thing on this barren planet is knowledge, and the most worthless thing is also knowledge.

Although it may sound paradoxical, this is the case.

The reason why it is most valuable is that under the long-term invasion and exploitation of darente people, many powerful magic knowledge and technology have been lost. Therefore, anyone who can find even a small part can become rich instantly.

Unfortunately, apart from the knowledge that can create value, the rest about humanities, geography and history are of no use at all.

For example, the book in the boy's hand now only paid two desert lizard kebabs.

"That's right!" Luke nodded seriously. "You know what? This city has never really been involved by darente invaders since its destruction. I guarantee that the knowledge and wealth hidden in it are far more than any of you can imagine. It is like a huge treasure waiting for the brave to dig. How, are you interested in going in with me? I promise, no matter what valuable things you find, except books Everything belongs to you. "

"Going deep into the forest? Are you sure it's not a joke? Haven't you realized how dangerous it is in the daytime?" another woman nearby couldn't help interrupting.

"Danger is always in direct proportion to reward. If you don't take risks, how can you get an enviable harvest? Don't you have to face danger when walking through the desert? No! Even at the most familiar low end, bandits, monsters and even giant sand insects may still be encountered in the desert. In this era full of pain and despair, every second of life is an adventure "Since they are all taking risks, why not bet a big one? If they succeed, they can live a comfortable life in the second half of their life, and failure is just an early liberation?"

Luke, as always, gave full play to his advantages in language and prying into the hearts of others, and encouraged these "cannon fodder" that had proved his value along the way.

After all, although he has mastered quite strong magic power and can even clear a safe road directly in the forest, it is much better to have help than not. At least he can sleep safely during rest.

"Ha ha, I admit that your words moved me. But the problem is that there are too many visible dangers in this forest. I'm not even sure whether you can advance 200 meters safely." the experienced team leader smiled meaningfully, obviously not easily fooled.

Just as Luke was about to say something, a harsh scream suddenly broke the silence of the night.

"Ah!!!!!!"

"Damn it! It's Cantor!"

The woman who spoke before suddenly stood up and looked at the place where she made a sound.

But unfortunately, her night vision is not excellent and she can't see what's going on in the woods.

About two or three minutes later, a pungent smell of blood came from a distance, and at the same time, there was the clatter of blood dripping on the leaves.

"Everyone stay alert!"

Seeing that the situation was bad, the leader immediately couldn't look at the boiling soup pot, pulled out his sharp sword and stared around nervously, trying to find the attacker.

He knew very well what the scream and bloody smell just now meant, that was death and killing.

The player named Cantor is now estimated to have become a cold body
