Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

As he explained his purpose and produced a token bearing the character "洪" (Hong), the city guards led them inside the city walls.

When Ye Chen and the others went inside, they discovered that there was a hidden world inside the city wall.

Countless soldiers eat, sleep, live, and train here; there are countless rooms, countless weapons, and inexhaustible equipment.

This is not a city wall, it's a war fortress!

"Don't look around, stay close to me."

Even a core member of a top-tier family like Hong Ba appeared somewhat reserved here. He frequently looked behind him, afraid that Ye Chen and the others might cause trouble because they didn't know the rules.

Soon, led by the guards, they arrived at a circular room with intricate patterns carved on the ground.

Three Grandmaster-level experts are guarding this place.

From the moment Ye Chen and the others entered the room, their eyes never left the group, making everyone feel uneasy.

The guard stopped in front of a control panel that extended 1.5 meters above the ground. "Coordinates."

Hongwu respectfully reported a string of numbers.

After inspecting the area, the guard looked at everyone calmly.

"This is a primary-level ruin. It appeared at the coordinates three days ago. It is protected by a magnetic field, and people above the martial arts level cannot enter. You cannot go there."

Finally, the guard looked at Hong Ba.

Hong Ba smiled and said, "I understand. I'm here mainly to take those six little ones there."

The guard glanced at everyone, lingering on Ye Chen for a couple more seconds.

He then nodded, "Okay."

He pointed to the strange patterns in the center of the room, "You all stand in the center of the room."

Ye Chen and the others obediently did as instructed.

The guard then pressed a series of buttons on the control panel.

As he dropped his last finger, the strange patterns on the ground suddenly seemed to be activated, rapidly lighting up with blue light and turning the entire room blue.

"The teleportation will begin in ten seconds. Do not move around, or you will be responsible for all consequences."

He finished speaking coldly and stood there without saying another word.

Ye Chen and his companions naturally wouldn't make a fool of themselves, and all behaved themselves like elementary school students.

As time passed, the strange patterns on the ground became increasingly bright.

Just as the light reached its peak, a strange energy suddenly erupted, and with a flash of light, Ye Chen and his six companions vanished from their spot.

After the transfer was complete, the patterns returned to their ordinary state.

"Thank you very much, gentlemen."

Hong Ba bowed respectfully.

The guard waved his hand. "No need to be so polite. We all know that your Hong family has contributed a lot to the country. Alright, spatial coordinates have been attached to each of them. When the time comes, the teleportation array will bring them back. You can go now."

"Okay, thank you."

Hong Ba bowed again before leaving.

……

at the same time.

Ye Chen and the others regained their vision and found themselves in a huge ruin.

The surrounding area was filled with traces of civilization, but now there was no sign of human life; it was all a scene of utter ruin.

The collapsed buildings, the broken ground, the dried-up pools, and the un-sank bones in the corners all testify to the war that once took place here.

While Ye Chen and Bai Ningbing were still observing their surroundings, Hong Wu had already pulled out a fist-sized metal sphere from his pocket.

With a pull of his hands, the metal sphere instantly split in two.

One half is a monitor with an electronic screen, and the other half is filled with mechanical flying insects smaller than ants.

With a few quick maneuvers, countless mechanical flying insects came to life and took flight in all directions.

Ye Chen and the others looked over, all showing expressions of confusion.

"What is this?"

"The super individual detector can collect information from a radius of 100 miles," Hongwu explained while operating the remaining hemisphere.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

This guy has finally learned his lesson.

It seems that the deaths of three people last time were a significant blow to him.

The information was quickly relayed back.

The small electronic screen clearly displayed their location and the terrain within a few hundred meters, and the map was constantly expanding.

There is also some material analysis information, such as mineral deposits being shown as yellow dots and rare plants as green dots. These two items basically cover 90% of the information.

With this information, the group calmed down and decided to wait and figure out the situation before taking any action, rather than rushing around blindly.

However, according to Hong Ba, the area here is quite large, and it will probably take some time to find anything of value.

So, the division of labor began.

Hongwu stared at the equipment.

Ye Chen then led Bai Ningbing and Bai Jinhan to tidy up a place for them to rest.

Jiang Cha and Zhuge Yue were responsible for patrolling and ensuring safety.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Three hours later.

The map on the monitor was getting bigger and bigger, now exceeding 50 kilometers in diameter, and dozens of ruin entrances and hundreds of things were detected.

Most of those things were ordinary metals and common medicinal herbs.

In Ye Chen's and the others' eyes, their value was far less than that of those entrances.

Their target wasn't the trash; it was the true heart of this ruin—

Civilized Technology!

Just like the teleportation array that brought them here, it was obtained from the ruins.

If they could bring such a technology back to the country, everyone would receive an unimaginable fortune; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it would create six top families on the spot!

The waiting process is agonizing.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Just as Jiang Cha was about to lose his temper and go explore...

"Beep beep beep!"

The detector in Hongwu's hand finally sounded an alarm.

The crowd quickly gathered around, their faces lighting up with delight.

"Found something good?!"

"Is it a relic civilization?!"

Everyone started talking at once.

Hongwu frowned deeply as he looked at the dozen or so red dots on the screen. "It seems we've encountered the enemy."

The group was startled.

Hongwu pointed to one of the red dots, and a snapshot of the scene was instantly enlarged.

In the video, a dozen blond-haired, blue-eyed men and women are walking through a wild jungle, heading towards them from the outside.

The group looked at the man and woman in the picture, their expressions turning serious.

Foreigners!

Although the nations of Earth are no longer at odds due to the existence of the Thousand Beasts, they have not yet reached the point of cooperating against a common enemy.

Given the chance, both sides will not hesitate to take advantage of the situation.

If you encounter this here, there will only be one outcome...

It's a fight to the death!

The expressions on everyone's faces turned somewhat grim.

They looked at Hongwu with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

It's clearly something with an extremely low probability of encountering an enemy.

Why have we encountered enemies again...?

Is this guy just born with bad luck?!

Bai Jinhan looked at Ye Chen with a tense expression, "What do we do?"

Hearing this, the others also looked over.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then looked at Hong Wu and slowly spoke:

"What do you think we should do?"

Hongwu's expression was solemn, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"This historical site is the coordinate of a place that my family acquired for 30 billion yuan. We can't just give it away; we have to strike first!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Just what he wanted.

Immediately, a bold idea quickly formed in my mind.

He glanced around and said seriously, "In that case, why don't we try to outsmart them first!"

"Negative?"

Jiang Cha asked in confusion, "How is it sinister?"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Of course... it's Tang Dynasty style!"

After a while.

They formed a circle and lit a large bonfire.

Each person carried a thick wooden branch with the meat of an unknown wild animal skewered on it.

Under the scorching heat of charcoal, it sizzles and oozes oil, exuding a rich and delicious aroma.

This is a unique product of the ruins—the meat of beasts from another world.

Ye Chen and his group of five, who were visiting for the first time, naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to sample the food.

Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, Hongwu, who had been staring at the detector, suddenly became serious.

"Ye Chen, they really came!"
