"Elaine …"
It wasn't difficult for a Transcendent powerhouse to control their emotions. They could keep themselves in an absolutely calm state during battle.
However, at this time, Tang Yu noticed that Elaine's spirit fluctuated violently for a moment.
"Could it be?"
Elaine looked into the distance as if she wanted to firmly imprint the scene in her mind. After a while, she slowly said, "Yes, this city is where I used to live."
In the past 18 years, she had never left the city. She had never seen the scene outside the city.
But at this moment.
Looking from afar, through the collapsed city wall, she saw the ruins inside the city. The low houses that had been buried, and the gap in the city wall that she saw with her own eyes.
It was still fresh in her memory.
"There's a discovery here. It seems to be a crystal mine."
Tang Yu looked at the low mountain where Zapor was located and immediately arrived at the top of the mountain.
There were some obvious human creations here, but most of them were corpses, both human and dark creatures.
The mine was deep, and there were very few small spirit stones on the walls. The energy contained was weak, not even one unit. For the time being, they could only be regarded as spirit stone fragments.
Many of the branching caves inside had collapsed. Tang Yu could only detect weak energy fluctuations.
There were also many surviving dark creatures that were killed by Zapor with a wave of his hand.
"This may have been a small spirit stone mine. But now, the mine has been abandoned. After violent mining, this place can no longer produce spirit stones."
They dug a lot of collapsed caves. Some of them were old, and the sleeping human corpses had turned into dry bones.
"Poor, poor, poor. I've never seen such a broken crystal mine!" Shay muttered, "It's not even as good as my income from playing cards."
Tang Yu kicked Shay out of the mine. Seeing Elaine kept going deeper into the cave, he sighed and chased after her.
For a long time, Elaine had been labeled as calm, rational, and strong in his eyes.
But at this moment, she behaved like a real 18-year-old girl.
A little girl who lost her parents.
Elaine broke through the rocks along the way. From time to time, she stopped by the corpses that couldn't be seen clearly. Her footsteps were getting faster and faster. Her tightly clenched hands in her sleeves trembled slightly.
Tang Yu didn't speak, he just silently followed behind her.
Three years ago, Elaine lost her parents. Maybe the place where they worked was this mine outside the city? Who knows how many people were buried.
Along the way, he saw hundreds and thousands of corpses.
Some of the corpses had only been dead for a few months, and a few of the corpses still had blurry faces that could be recognized. However, most of them had been eaten by dark creatures, turned into white bones, or buried in some unknown corner.
Once, twice, thrice.
Elaine searched the entire mine, turning over all the places where there were traces of humans.
She turned around with a forced smile on her face. Her sapphire eyes rippled uncontrollably like the rippling waters of a lake.
"S-sorry, I've delayed everyone's time —"
She lowered her head, but before she could finish her words, her mouth was blocked.
An opened bottle of Clear Spirit Wine was brought to his mouth.
"What are you talking about? Is there a need to apologize between us?"
Elaine nodded heavily, took the clear spirit wine, raised her head, and drank it in one gulp.
She drank too quickly, and the wine seeped out from the corner of her mouth, dripping down along her collarbone. Her beautiful long hair was also a little messy.
She didn't care.
Suddenly, she started sobbing.
"I thought I had let it go. I thought I could be strong …"
"I want to find their bones and erect a monument for them …"
Tang Yu silently borrowed her shoulder, but the tears could only cross the cold armor.
He thought and suddenly thought of a way.
He secretly took a strand of Elaine's hair and used it as a medium. Maybe the Protoss could divine the location of Elaine's parents.
He didn't say it right away.
Too much time had passed, and there were too many accidents. The divination might not be successful. It would be even more heartbreaking if he was disappointed after he had hope.
"I'll tell Elaine when the Protoss and the Moon are found."
Elaine's depressed mood didn't last long.
When the two of them walked out of the mine, she was as cold as ice, as usual.
Shay, who was squatting at the cave entrance and observing the distance, immediately smiled and ran up.
Tang Yu asked directly, "Do you know the situation in the city?"
"We just observed from a distance. This city is divided into inner city and outer city. The outer city wall is basically destroyed. Only the inner city wall is still intact. And the humans inside should be in the inner city."
Tang Yu nodded, "Elaine, Roger, Shay, Winnie, Nancy, Oguri … come with me into the city. Protoss, Zabor, you stay outside the city and be on guard."
As he said that, he handed the strand of hair to Star's palm as he passed by her. At the same time, he ordered in the contract.
Then, he brought Elaine and the others closer to the dilapidated city.
… …
"This is the craftsman area, this is the slum area, this is … the place where I used to live."
Tang Yu looked at the collapsed cabin and then looked at Elaine. She was still calm.
Naturally, she couldn't find anything in the collapsed cabin. However, Elaine still dug out the original tattered bed board from the ruins and put it into her Space Ring.
The city area was not small.
Although this side of the world was similar to the structure of the Middle Ages, the kingdom before the doomsday, the noble lords divided the land. But after all, they were high martial artists and had rune technology. Most of the ordinary people and low-level hunters had the same standard of living as in ancient times. But the nobles were different.
And with the power of hunters alone, in terms of construction, it was countless times more convenient than in ancient times.
The area it occupied was much larger than Lindong. Perhaps the undeveloped open space on the floating land could be compared to the shade trees.
They walked through many places in the outer city. There were collapsed houses everywhere, only a few sturdy ones still standing. Under the broken stones, broken boards, and wooden slats, there were a lot of rotten corpses.
But valuable items were almost nowhere to be seen. There were some merchants living in the outer city, but some of the ruins had obvious signs of rummaging.
In the distance.
A few dark creatures roared and flew over when they heard the noise, but they were frozen into ice sculptures.
Tang Yu looked sideways. Not far from the city, a large river flowed by. He could imagine the prosperity this mighty river brought to the city before the doomsday.
The group walked towards the direction of the inner city.
After passing through a large area of ruins, they finally saw the scattered red light on the distant city wall. It was the light of torches.
It should be daytime at this time, but under the thick fog, it was still dim, just like before a rainstorm.
It was only slightly better than the night.
Tang Yu and the others didn't hide their figures until they were less than 200 meters away. The sergeant guarding the city finally shouted.
"Who are you? Stop! "
