Chapter 435 Ancient Relics (Subscription Request, Monthly Ticket Request)
In front of Lin Yi's eyes, a virtual map suddenly appeared, showing the layout of the entire ancient ruins in detail.

The ancient ruins cover a vast area, with a horizontal span of 30 kilometers and a vertical width of 28 kilometers. Overall, it is slightly square.

Through the virtual map, Lin Yi discovered that there was a disc in the center of the ancient ruins, with "Twilight Dynasty Palace" marked on it. His target was here.

Su Xiao and Lin Yi stood side by side, and they carefully planned the shortest route leading to the depths of the ancient ruins on the virtual map.

As they gradually went deeper into this historical ruin, Lin Yi began to realize that this should have been the site of a prosperous kingdom, perhaps the capital of an ancient kingdom.

As they walked through the ruins, they found that most of the traces of the houses had disappeared, leaving only weathered rubble on the ground, silently telling of the ruthlessness of time.

Among the ruins, only some large stone sculptures and magnificent stone palaces are well preserved. They stand out in this desolate place and are particularly eye-catching.

A sense of desolation permeates this ancient ruins, which makes people feel deeply moved.

The once prosperous era is now left with only piles of cold stones, which witnessed the glory of that era and also its decline.

The vast area of ​​the ancient ruins can be clearly divided into four parts, each with its own unique characteristics.

The outermost area where Lin Yi and Su Xiao are currently located is called the Wasteland Area, which is the fourth area of ​​the ruins.

Here, wild grass spreads, presenting a desolate and ancient scene.

Going deeper, they will enter the wooded area, which is the third area.

This area is covered with dense trees, which gather into a circular forest, like a natural barrier, tightly surrounding the two areas in the center of the ancient ruins.

The lushness of trees adds a touch of vitality to the ruins.

Going further, through the lush tree area, you will reach the second area.

Here, large areas of ruins and half-weathered stone pillars are densely distributed, forming an intricate terrain.

Lin Yi held a notebook in his hand, writing and drawing on it, recording the general situation along the way.

After passing through the intricate second area, Su Xiao suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a stone square in front of him.

In the center of the square, a huge circular pit catches the eye. It is at least two kilometers in diameter and bottomless, as if it leads to another unknown world.

Lin Yi walked carefully to the edge of the circular pit and leaned over to look.

There was a faint sense of malice coming from the pit, as if some unknown danger was lurking within.

A faint chill rose from the bottom of the pit, making the entire round pit even more mysterious.

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel alert, as if there was something deadly hidden here.

In the center of this circular pit with a diameter of two kilometers, there is an extremely well-preserved palace. This is the "Twilight Dynasty Palace", which is supported on the circular pit.

If you look closely, you can see that the "Twilight Dynasty Palace" is built on a huge circular stone plate, which looks like a millstone magnified thousands of times.

The palace is supported by hundreds of sturdy stone pillars that penetrate deep into the bottom of the circular pit and hold up the palace steadily.

I don't know how this "Twilight Dynasty Palace" was built. Given the relatively backward construction level in this world, it is incredible to build such a magnificent building.

Even with modern technology, it is almost impossible to complete such a project in such a deep circular pit.

At the three diagonals of the stone plate below the 'Twilight Dynasty Palace', there are three five-meter-wide stone bridges connecting the palace with the outside world.

The design of these three stone bridges is somewhat laughable.

There are no guardrails on the edge of the stone bridge, and the bare bridge surface forces people to be careful when walking on it.

If a fight breaks out on the stone bridge, one might be knocked off the bridge if one is not careful, and fall into the bottomless, malicious round pit.

Above the 'Twilight Dynasty Palace', some rubble slowly rotates, floating against gravity.

Su Xiao walked to a stone bridge, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword appeared in his hand. He slashed at the edge of the stone bridge.

The knife flashed, but only a crisp "ding" sound was heard.

Small pieces of gravel flew everywhere. The stone bridge was unexpectedly solid. You know, even if it was made of steel, Su Xiao could cut it in half with one knife.

"Interesting, I'll come and take a look." Lin Yi put away the notebook in his hand and walked in front of Su Xiao.

He placed his palm on the stone bridge that Lin Yi had just attacked, and injected the power of the abyss into the interior of the stone bridge.

Lin Yi discovered that the material of the stone bridge is actually very ordinary, just common marble.

However, there are a large number of alchemical arrays carved inside the stone bridge. These arrays are so intricate that even though countless years have passed, energy is still flowing through them.

The reason why Su Xiao's attack on the stone bridge just now was ineffective was that the energy inside the stone bridge took the blow for the stone bridge itself at the critical moment.

Therefore, Su Xiao's knife only broke a small piece of stone, while the stone bridge itself remained intact.

The two walked onto the stone bridge and headed towards the 'Twilight Dynasty Palace'. This was a very majestic palace. Anyone standing in front of the palace would feel insignificant.

In front of the palace, two ten-meter-high metal doors come into view.

A profound picture is delicately carved on the door: a man wearing a crown and holding a scepter is kneeling on one knee, his arm stretched forward, trying to touch a dying fire in front of him.

There was a twisted sword stuck in the flames.

Above the man is the sun in a total eclipse, symbolizing the interweaving of darkness and light.

Although this was just a carving, Su Xiao seemed to feel the scene inside.

The sun has been devoured by the Moon Wolf, and the flame is burning weakly and is about to go out, indicating that the world will soon be shrouded in 'darkness', and it will be an endless 'dark' era.

Only the king at the center of the world is still trying. He tries to grasp the last ray of light, use this faint light to save his people, and fight the evil dragon to the end.

Among the king's people, there are humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, centaurs, goblins, giants, and trolls. These eight races have their own territories. Although they are not at peace with each other, they will not invade each other.

The hot-tempered dwarves and the arrogant elves forged weapons and quarreled together, the giants and trolls tried to form an alliance, the centaurs galloped on the grasslands, hunting and living in peace with the world, the goblins researched strange things every day, and the human race connected the trade of all races.

All this changed because of a dragon.

Although the king defeated the dragon, he is about to die.

Among the king's people, humans, elves and giants drank the blood of the evil dragon in order to gain more powerful strength.

They united together and formed a powerful legion called the Dragon Legion.

Orcs, dwarves, goblins, and trolls chose to eat the flesh of the dragon, hoping to gain strength from it.

However, the power of the dragon is not so easy to control.

As time went by, that power gradually eroded their hearts, triggering endless greed and fighting.

A hundred years later, the originally vast continent had been shattered by years of war and disaster, with only one third of its area remaining.

In this devastated land, the war between the Dragon Empire and the Tribal Alliance intensified.

They were originally the king's subjects, but now they are deeply influenced by the evil dragon's greed and are caught in an endless struggle.

[Hint: The hunter witnessed the rise and fall of the Twilight Dynasty across time and space, and the hunter's spirit resonated, and his willpower was permanently +2. ]

"Do you think it's true or false?"

"The hints are out, of course."

After seeing the prompt from Samsara Paradise, Lin Yi frowned. You know, it was clearly stated above that the current fight between the tribe and the Longteng Empire was entirely caused by the evil dragon.

Then the most crucial point appeared in Lin Yi's mind, where did the evil dragon go?

You have to know that just the blood and flesh of an evil dragon can cause the entire continent to become so chaotic. If an evil dragon really appears, the difficulty of this war world will probably soar in an instant.

After a few seconds, the metal door in front of the two began to decay.

With a loud crash, the ten-meter-high metal door turned into a large cloud of dust and dissipated, and the metal doors at the other two corners of the palace also dissipated at the same time.
