After preparing for the entire morning, all the preparations had been completed. In the afternoon, he could finally start his trip to the Moon Deities.
At noon, Ling Chen ate lunch with Shui Ruo. With the Forest of Bones as an example, he didn't know how long it would take for him to return to the Moon God Ruins. So, after Shui Ruo entered the game, he prepared Shui Ruo's dinner and placed it on the table. When Shui Ruo came out of the game, she would be able to see it immediately.
After returning to the Mystic Moon world, Ling Chen summoned the "Moon Deities Ruins" quest description and read it over and over again. He originally wanted to find the Azure Dragon's Mayor to see if he could ask about the Moon Deities Ruins, but after thinking about it, he gave up. That place was also a forbidden area, and even if he went to ask, it would be pointless.
In the Forest of Bones, he had encountered many dangerous situations, and he had almost lost Xi Ling. According to the quest description, the Moon Deities Ruins was far more difficult than the Forest of Bones. To Ling Chen, the wisest thing to do was to wait … wait until he reached a higher level and equipped more powerful equipment before entering. Otherwise, after completing the Forest of Bones Quest, and not being able to defeat the weakened Warring Palace Skeleton, this Moon Deities Ruins was obviously much more terrifying than the Forest of Bones. Moreover, he no longer had Xi Ling by his side, so directly entering was equivalent to suicide.
However, if Ling Chen continued to wait, he would not be Ling Chen. Being timid and hesitant had never been his style. At the same time, the higher the difficulty, the greater the reward. If one were to attempt this mission when they were strong enough, then the reward would be nothing compared to their strength at that time.
The Moon Deities Ruins Quest also sent him directly to the quest location. He read the quest description for the last time and said in a low voice, "Xi Ling, wait for me to complete this quest … then, I will go to the Vermillion Bird City in the south to find the Vermillion Bird!"
Following that, he chose to teleport. In a flash of white light, the scenery quickly changed.
"Ding … you have come to the dangerous area 'Moon Deities Ruins'."
Moon Deities Ruins: 10,000 years ago, the Forgotten Continent experienced a "Shura's Devastation" that caused great panic in the world. This disaster has been forgotten due to the many generations of humans, but the Moon Deities will never forget this disaster. In that disaster, more than 30 Moon Deities lost their lives under the sword of Shura. It was also the most tragic loss in the history of the Moon Deities. Later, after a fierce battle, the Moon Deities finally killed Shura in the place where the Moon Deities Envoys had fled. However, because the battle was too fierce, the area was completely destroyed and turned into a terrible ruin. Later, it was called the "Moon Deities Ruins", where the remains of Shura and all the Moon Deities Envoys were buried. Since then, the Moon Deities never stepped into that place again, so as not to evoke the terrible memories of the past. Later, there were often rumors of crying in the Moon Deities Ruins. It was said that it was the voice of the remnant soul of the dead Moon Deities Envoys that had not completely dissipated.
This was the description of the area of the Moon Deities Ruins on the map bought from the Qian Gungun.
The ground under his feet was soft and uneven, which made Ling Chen almost lose his balance as soon as he set foot here. Before he could see the surrounding scene clearly, an unbearable rancid smell mixed with the hot and humid wind blew towards him, almost making Ling Chen vomit. Fortunately, he held his breath in time and endured it with difficulty.
The Moon Deities Ruins … In front of him, it was indeed a dilapidated ruin that could not be more dilapidated.
It was obviously empty, but the light was abnormally dim. Looking up, the sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds, blocking out most of the light outside. It also made the air here particularly oppressive. Looking ahead, the ground was a dark colour that made one's eyes uncomfortable … To be precise, it couldn't even be called ground at all, because the ground beneath one's feet was covered in patches and piles of incomparably messy greyish-black objects. There wasn't a single piece of flat ground to be found, nor was there a single piece of intact ground.
After a while, Ling Chen gradually adapted to the smell here, and his breathing became a little calmer. Only then did he seriously look around. He couldn't help but be stunned by the scene around him. Even after ten thousand years, there were still traces of destruction here. The ruins that made it difficult to even walk through made it impossible for people not to be shocked. Just how fierce the battle was back then, and just how terrifying the Shura and Moon God's powers were. Moreover, judging from the scope of the Moon Deities Ruins marked on the map, this ruin covered an area of nearly 100 kilometers!
That's right. It was the destruction of an entire 100 kilometers … This did not come from a natural disaster, but from a Shura and the power of the four strongest creatures in the Moon God Continent at that time.
It was evident how terrible the power of a Saint Destroyer level was.
"Little Gray."
Summoning Little Gray, Ling Chen then took his first step in the Moon Deities Ruins.
The feeling of stepping on the ground was particularly uncomfortable, but compared to the almost unbearable smell here, this discomfort could be completely ignored. The air here not only smelled extremely bad, but it was also extremely dull. Being in it, it made Ling Chen feel like he was in a big black pot that was sealed tightly.
Ling Chen walked all the way forward, and it was in such an environment that he walked for more than ten minutes. What he saw was still only ruins. Occasionally, he would step on a few skeletons of different shapes. These skeletons should belong to creatures that had unfortunately been affected by the fierce battle in the past. With such a large area of destruction, the number of innocent creatures that had died must be uncountable. Some of these skeletons had already turned into ashes over the years, and only a small portion had been preserved. However, they had become extremely fragile, and would turn into powder with a light touch. After all, the air here was too hot, and it was completely different from the gloomy atmosphere of the Forest of Bones. The skeletons here were very easy to decay.
The hot wind mixed with the smell of decay constantly blew grey sand, and the sky was always dark. In this terrifying environment, Ling Chen walked for more than half an hour, and the scene in front of him was still grey and black. There seemed to be only endless ruins in front of him, and there was no change at all.
Ling Chen stopped and turned around to look behind him. No matter how he changed his perspective, it was difficult to find any difference between the scene in front and behind him. When the surrounding environment was almost completely the same, and there was nothing that could be used as a reference, whether it was humans or other animals, it was extremely easy for them to lose their sense of direction. Ling Chen took out the map and confirmed his position, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed …
What's going on …
After entering for so long, he did not see any monsters, nor did he hear the "sorrowful cries" mentioned in the mission. Little Gray also did not show any signs of danger. So where was the target of this mission?
He was now slightly south of the center of the Moon Deities ruins. After looking at the map for a while, he put it away, looked ahead, and said, "Little Gray, go north."
With Little Gray leading the way, Ling Chen did not have to worry about getting lost at all. The mission in the Forest of Bones had been a perfect proof of that. Little Gray and Ling Chen, one in front and one behind, moved northward at a relatively fast speed, slowly approaching the center of the ruins.
Regardless of success or failure, the mission in the Moon Deities ruins could only be carried out once. In other words, if Ling Chen left this map for any reason, the mission would be declared a failure, and there would be no chance for him to start over. Therefore, since he was already here, he could only choose to move forward no matter what. Under Little Gray's guidance, after walking for nearly half an hour, an unexpected accident suddenly occurred, causing Ling Chen to stop in his tracks.
Usually, the Lunar Scourge on Ling Chen's hand would be hidden in the form of an ordinary bracelet by the power of Qi Yue. Only when he used the exclusive skills of the Lunar Scourge would it reveal its original form. However, at this time, the Lunar Scourge lit up with a faint layer of black light without any warning, and at the same time, it revealed its original form. The Gemini Orb and Sagittarius Orb embedded in the second and ninth sockets also released their own bright light.
Ling Chen stood there, raised his right hand, and looked at the strange phenomenon of the Lunar Scourge in surprise. At this time, Qi Yue's voice sounded in Ling Chen's mind, "Little master, what is this place?"
Qi Yue's surprised voice was filled with a soft languidness. She should have just woken up from her sleep. Ling Chen immediately replied, "This is the Moon Deities ruins … What's going on with the Lunar Scourge? Why is it suddenly glowing? "
"The Moon Deities ruins … The place where the Shura fell …" Qi Yue whispered to herself. Among the four quests, the last one required them to go to the Moon Deities ruins, so she was not surprised, "It should be that the Lunar Scourge sensed something."
"Sensed what? Could it be the Lunar Scourge's exclusive God Orb … or Saint Orb? "
Qi Yue gave him a negative answer, "Shouldn't be. The Lunar Scourge's reaction distance to exclusive God Orbs or Saint Orbs is very close, and sometimes there is no reaction at all. Even if there is a reaction, it only shines at the corresponding socketed position. I don't know what the Lunar Scourge has discovered. Let's go forward, get closer to that thing, and we will naturally find the answer. "
Qi Yue also wanted to know the answer to the Lunar Scourge's sudden change. Ling Chen did not ask again, and let Little Gray lead the way in front, and continued to walk forward, also looking at the Lunar Scourge from time to time. He did not know if it was an illusion, but Ling Chen felt that the Lunar Scourge's light became stronger every time he moved forward.
Entering the Moon Deities ruins, Ling Chen was transported through the system. As for how to get out, it was not a problem that Ling Chen was concerned about for the time being. The scene flashed through his sight in the repetition, and the ruins in front of him seemed to be endless. Unknowingly, two hours had passed.
Since he entered the Moon Deities ruins until now, he had not encountered any monsters, nor had he encountered any danger. In front of him, there had always been dark ruins that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Taking out the map, his current position was very close to the center of the Moon Deities ruins, and on his right wrist, the black light of the Lunar Scourge had become extremely strong.
The feeling before was not an illusion at all, the further forward he went, the stronger the light of the Lunar Scourge, which proved that he was getting closer and closer to the thing that the Lunar Scourge sensed.
"Here, why is there demonic energy?" In Ling Chen's mind, Qi Yue muttered in a puzzled voice.
