As he looked deeper, Liu Ming found that the closer he was to the center of the ruins, the less damaged the buildings were.
In the deepest part of this ruin, he could faintly see a majestic quaint hall.
However, the hall inside was not as luxurious as the outer city. The materials used looked very ordinary.
"Brother Liu, let's go." Sha Chuer should have been here before. She looked very calm.
When Liu Ming heard this, he gathered his thoughts and followed them.
"Wait!"
After a few steps into the edge of the ruins, Sha Chuer's face suddenly changed. She grabbed Liu Ming, and the two hurriedly hid behind a broken wall.
Liu Ming was just about to open his mouth to ask, but he immediately closed his mouth after a glance.
In front of the two, more than a thousand meters away, a series of heavy footsteps came. A puppet warrior with the height of a person gradually walked out from behind a wall.
Liu Ming looked at it. This puppet was wearing the same golden armor with an amethyst helmet on its head. There were 2 red lights in its eyes like 2 burning crimson flames.
The puppet's head slowly rotated on its neck, looking in all directions. Then, it slowly disappeared behind another dilapidated house.
"This is the outermost puppet. Don't worry, its alert range is only about 300 to 400 meters. It can't find us. "After Sha Chuer saw the humanoid puppet, she said softly with a sigh of relief.
After the puppet warrior walked away, the two continued to walk deeper into the ruins.
"There are almost a dozen different kinds of puppets in the ruins. In addition to the humanoid puppet we just encountered, there are also some beast-type puppets. They are basically free to move around the ruins. When they encounter intruders, they will attack without hesitation. When my clan came here before, they also suffered a lot." Sha Chuer explained softly as she carefully moved forward.
Liu Ming nodded. Regarding this, the Sand Clan's great elder also mentioned it yesterday.
"The habits and attack methods of the puppets here are different. However, since they are puppets, they naturally have weaknesses …" Sha Chuer introduced some of the puppets here in detail. Liu Ming listened and noted in his heart.
As they spoke, the two of them turned a corner.
"Huh?" Liu Ming suddenly stopped and walked to the side to pick up something.
It was a black arm that was about three meters long. It was covered in a lot of black dust, and it felt cold to the touch.
"This should be the arm of an ape puppet. There are many similar puppet fragments in the outer ruins, so there is nothing strange about it." Sha Chuer glanced at it casually and said indifferently.
Liu Ming shrugged and tossed it aside.
Right at this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky not far away from the two of them.
Liu Ming looked up in the direction of the sound, and he saw a green strange bird puppet rushing toward the 2 of them in the sky above his head.
This strange bird puppet was black all over; its eyes were glowing red. It had bat-like wings that were about 40 meters long when stretched out. The most eye-catching thing was its sharp beak that was more than 1 meter long. The edge of the beak shell was shaped like a sawtooth, and there were many barbs. It looked extremely fierce. Although it was a puppet, it was lifelike. It was not much different from a common flying beastkin.
"Oh no, I only cared about the puppets on the ground. I actually forgot about this stone green bird!" As soon as Sha Chuer saw this strange bird puppet, she suddenly exclaimed, then she grabbed in the air. The black sand in her hand immediately condensed into a black sand blade.
"Oh, is this kind of puppet very powerful?" Liu Ming didn't show much surprise. Obviously, he didn't have any concept of this stone green bird.
As Sha Chuer was about to answer, the green strange bird had already rushed to the front of the two of them in a whistling sound.
The woman snorted. When she just launched the sand blade in her hand, Liu Ming next to her opened his mouth and launched the small golden sword. It instantly turned into a golden rainbow that swept through the middle of the strange bird.
"Bang".
The giant bird puppet was immediately split in half. It flashed past the two of them and fell heavily on the ground. It could no longer move.
The white core in the middle of the puppet was smashed into smithereens the moment the sword-light swept past it.
"You actually slashed this green stone bird puppet like this?" Sha Chuer next to him couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she saw this situation. She didn't even know that the sand blade in her hand collapsed silently.
"Why? Is there anything strange?" Liu Ming raised his hand to recall the flying sword and asked.
As Sha Chuer heard the words, she didn't answer immediately, but she suddenly took a deep breath. After the black sand in her hand condensed, it transformed into a sand blade again. She slashed at the half of the strange bird puppet beside her in a black light.
"Bang".
An inch-deep golden-green mark had appeared on half of the puppet's body, but it hadn't been sliced open.
"This kind of green stone bird puppet is refined with the unique golden green sand in the depths of the holy land. Its body is extremely hard. In terms of danger, it can be ranked in the top 3 among the puppets in the periphery. The sand blade of our Sand Clan can even cut open the sand jackal, but it doesn't have much effect on this puppet. It can be seen how powerful it is. "Sha Chuer said very solemnly. There was a strange flash in her eyes as she looked at Liu Ming.
In the battle yesterday, Liu Ming killed the giant sand beast alone. Although this woman was greatly surprised, after all, she didn't see it with her own eyes, so she only had a vague impression of Liu Ming's strength.
Now seeing Liu Ming destroy such a powerful green stone bird puppet with just a wave of his hand, she knew that Liu Ming was really powerful.
"It's nothing. I'm a sword cultivator, and this void sword is sharper than the average flying sword, so I can do this." Liu Ming smiled slightly and explained a little.
"I also heard from the great elder that the sword cultivator outside is far above the cultivator of the same rank. It seems that this statement is true. I think there are many people like Brother Liu in the outside world. I really want to see the outside world with my own eyes one day and fulfill my mother's last wish. " When Sha Chuer heard this, she sighed and said. There was a trace of inexplicable sadness in her eyes.
"If Miss Sha really wants to go to the outside world, shouldn't the great elder have a way?" Liu Ming asked after hearing this.
"There is a way, but the ancestors of our tribe made a heavy oath that the people and descendants of the bloodline can't leave this place before the holy land welcomes the real master again." Sha Chuer shook her head and replied.
"Master?" Liu Ming frowned slightly.
"Yes, there is a rumor in the tribe that the holy land will choose a master again one day. However, this is a rumor that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. No one knows whether it is true or false, but the great elder of the past generations firmly believes in it. "Sha Chuer replied with a wry smile.
"I see. Not good, it seems that there are other puppets coming. Let's leave quickly. "Liu Ming first showed a thoughtful expression, but his face immediately changed.
In the distance, there were heavy footsteps again.
Sha Chuer naturally nodded and took the lead to walk in another direction.
In the following journey, the two became more and more careful, but the closer they got to the center of the ruins, the more puppets wandering around.
As a result, they still encountered some puppets from time to time, and some battles broke out.
"Boom", Liu Ming's fist was covered with a layer of black gas. It pierced through the chest of a wolf-shaped puppet and grabbed a gray crystal stone.
The wolf-shaped puppet immediately fell to the ground and turned into a pile of dead things.
Sha Chuer took back the sand wrapped around the puppet. Her pretty face was slightly pale. Although her spiritual power was not suppressed by the Odd Desert, she still couldn't keep up with the continuous battles.
"Do you want to take a break?" Liu Ming crushed the gray crystal stone with a little force in his hand.
Although the flying sword was sharp, it consumed a lot of spiritual power to activate it in this place. Therefore, Liu Ming simply used his physical strength to destroy the puppets one by one.
"It's okay, we are almost at the center of the ruins." Sha Chuer smiled reluctantly.
The closer they got to the center of the ruins, the paler the woman's face became. At the same time, her aura became weaker.
It seemed that what the Sand Clan grand elder said about the palace in the center of the ruins being a forbidden place for the Sand Clan was not false.
Liu Ming glanced around again.
When they arrived here, the nearby ruins buildings seemed to be relatively intact. Most of them were black stone houses with strange styles. They were arranged in a somewhat messy manner.
Most of the doors of the stone houses were open, and there were many strange runes engraved on the doors.
After Liu Ming carefully identified them, they should be some ancient enchantment. They looked dim and dull. Some of the doors even had traces of being forcibly damaged.
Around the stone houses, there were also many scattered remains of puppets. There were arms, legs, and even half of the body. Most of them were covered with black sand. Obviously, they had been here for a long time.
From all this, it could be vaguely seen the intensity of the battle that had occurred in the nearby area.
"Did you Sand Clan people do this?" Liu Ming pointed at the marks on the door and asked with a smile that didn't look like a smile.
"This ruin is our Sand Clan's forbidden place. Although we also come here to find some puppet parts, we will not destroy the houses here." Sha Chuer said with a solemn expression.
"Forgive me for my indiscretion." Liu Ming replied apologetically.
Since it was not done by the Sand Clan people, then it was possible that it was a foreign cultivator like him who broke into this place and had a fierce battle with the guardian puppets.
Next, the two quickly searched the nearby area for a while. They checked a dozen stone houses and found many puppet remains, but they did not find any parts similar to the bronze giant puppet.
When the two walked out of a stone house empty-handed, Liu Ming frowned and asked again, "Miss Sha, why did we encounter a lot of puppets along the way, but we didn't encounter a single giant puppet."
"Although the giant puppet is not the most powerful puppet in the ruins, it is one of the few puppets that our Sand Clan can control. There are very few of them. It is said that there are not many of them in the entire ruins. Whether we can find the relevant core parts this time depends on luck. "Sha Chuer was also a little worried, but she quickly replied.
The two of them could not find anything, so they continued to go deeper into the ruins.
