The skeleton carriage walked in the darkness.
This darkness was like a black hole. There was no trace of light at all. It was like a dream.
Meanwhile, the skulls of two skeletal warhorses were raised extremely high, and their limbs only moved slightly, as if they were stepping on a regular node. For a moment, their speed soared, but the few people in the carriage did not notice it at all.
After the carriage sped up, images began to emerge from the mountain cave…
Inside the carriage, Liu Chuan and the others were uneasy, but there was nothing they could do.
"I think we've entered the ancient ruins. This might be an opportunity for us," said Lin Sisi seriously as she looked at everyone.
"The ancient ruins?"
The others were also stunned when they heard that. Then, they reacted.
"That's right. It might really be the ancient ruins. We have struck it rich." Monkey snapped out of his daze and his expression turned from worry to joy.
Following that, Monkey rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "Could I be the legendary Son of Heaven?"
Everyone was silent.
Please get your facts straight…
"That's great. When I go out, I'll be able to eat a lot of delicious food again. Sigh, I brought too little milk tea this time. I'm going to run out of milk tea."
Meanwhile, Wu Zhixin was still the same as before. She had no interest in the ruins. She was only concerned about whether she could still eat good food.
"I heard that there are ancient humans in some of the ancient ruins, but they seem to have some kind of restriction. They cannot appear in the outside world and can only stay in the ruins."
"Be careful. From what I know, the ancient people in the ruins don't seem to be very friendly to us. It's said that the Federal government paid a huge price to exchange for some resources from those ancient people," said Lin Sisi after a few seconds of silence.
"Of course, it is also because of these resources that we humans can slowly stand firm in the collision with mutant beasts."
Lin Sisi seemed to know a lot of things.
"Sisi, where did you learn all this from? My grandpa hasn't even told me about it," said Wu Zhixin to Lin Sisi.
Lin Sisi smiled and said to Wu Zhixin, "I only read books. I read about this when I was looking for more information. It's not a big secret. I like to read more books when I'm free."
"Oh, I usually just eat when I have nothing to do." Wu Zhixin spoke proudly.
Lin Sisi remained quiet.
Indeed, everyone could tell that Wu Zhixin was telling the truth.
Not long after, Liu Chuan and the others heard the neighing of the skeletal warhorses.
"They're telling us to get out of here." Liu Chuan told the others after Dogshit translated for Liu Chuan in his mind.
Monkey was already excited. He lifted the curtain and was about to be the first to alight.
"Let's go! I'm getting off the carriage! My fortune is about to change! Ancient ruins, I'm coming!"
The few of them just let him be. It didn't matter if they alighted from the carriage first or later.
Liu Chuan was the last to alight from the carriage. The moment he came down, he saw Monkey bowing to the two skeletal warhorses.
"Thank you, brothers, for taking care of us. Thank you for your hard work. Do you smoke? I have good stuff."
The two warhorses nodded, indicating that they saw Monkey as a sensible person. Then, they took the Chung Hwa cigarettes from Monkey with their mouths. Monkey even took out a lighter and lit the cigarettes for the two horses.
Monkey had actually offered the horses cigarettes.
Liu Chuan was rendered speechless. What was going on? Monkey had really managed to suck up to them. They could even smoke when they were only left with bones.
Liu Chuan and the other two watched as Monkey and the two horses were smoking at the side…
Speaking of which, as soon as the hoses put the cigarettes into their mouths, the smoke they inhaled came out from the top of their heads. What was the point…
"Brothers, you can have these two packs of Chung Hwa cigarettes. Hey, can you give me some of that?" Monkey handed them cigarettes as he hinted at some benefits.
After the two horses finished smoking, they each accepted a pack of cigarettes as bribes. Then, the two horses looked at each other with their eyes, which did not have any eyeballs, and nodded at the same time.
"Neigh, neigh~" The two warhorses said to Monkey.
Monkey was somewhat dumbfounded as he turned to ask Liu Chuan, "Liu Chuan, what are they saying? I don't understand."
"They told you to turn around and stand still," replied Liu Chuan helplessly.
"Alright."
Monkey turned around in excitement.
"Ah~~~~"
With a long scream, Monkey flew into the sky again.
The two skeletal warhorses each raised one of their legs and kicked Monkey's buttocks. After kicking Monkey, they pulled the carriage and ran away quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was silent.
This was just too tragic. After all the flattery, he had been kicked twice. Monkey even felt like dying. These darn horses had embarrassed him too much.
Meanwhile, the few of them held back their laughter as they walked in front of Monkey, whose face was facing down and buttocks were facing up. Liu Chuan pulled Monkey up and said, "Are you alright?"
"Don't, don't, don't touch me. Brother Chuan, take a look at my buttocks. I feel like my buttocks are burning." Monkey felt something amiss the moment he got up. He wanted Liu Chuan to take a look for him.
"No. I'm not interested in a man's buttocks." Liu Chuan refused mercilessly.
"Brother, brother, I'm begging you. Help me take a look. Just one look."
Monkey could not see his butt and could only beg bitterly.
In the end, Liu Chuan helped Monkey take a look. Two black hoof marks had appeared on his two buttocks.
It must have been left behind by the two horses. The marks even emitted a black glow.
At that moment, Monkey looked like he had nothing to live for. "I'm still a virgin," he muttered. "How am I going to explain this to my future wife? This is so embarrassing. I really didn't get a tattoo on my buttocks."
The others were all holding in their laughter.
Meanwhile, Liu Chuan patted Monkey on the shoulder and consoled him. "This must be an exclusive mark they left for you. It will definitely be of great use in the future."
…
After being tormented by Monkey for a while, the entire team set off again.
Along the way, the surroundings looked very desolate. At a glance, Liu Chuan could see small mounds with varying sizes, making them seem just like hills.
The surroundings were dim and Liu Chuan could not see what exactly the mounds were.
It wasn't until the little mounds were right in front of him that he realized what they were. They were simply sword graves.
In front of each tomb, there was a tombstone with the name of a sword written on it. Meanwhile, a sword was inserted in the center of each tomb. However, the sword was not inserted deep into the ground. Usually, only the tip of the sword was inserted into the soil.
There were all kinds of swords. There were long swords, short swords, heavy swords, and even wooden swords and earth swords. It was a dazzling sight.
Meanwhile, at the very front, there was a huge stone tablet. The words "Each person can take a sword" were written on the stone tablet.
When Liu Chuan saw these words, he actually felt a wave of sword qi shoot out from these words towards him. Liu Chuan quickly closed his eyes and alerted the others to stop looking. Then, the sword qi instantly disappeared.
Liu Chuan didn't dare to look again and inwardly sighed. This was formidable. Meanwhile, the others were in the same situation. Fortunately, under Liu Chuan's reminder, they all closed their eyes, so nothing unexpected happened.
Everyone was overjoyed. They had actually encountered the legendary sword grave. Although they could only take one sword each, they were all spirit weapons.
Liu Chuan casually walked towards a sword tomb. The words "Finger Dust Sword" were written on the tombstone.
Then, Liu Chuan raised his head and saw that the Finger Dust Sword was actually formed by a horsetail whisk and a sword. It was quite peculiar, but this sword was not suitable for him, so he walked towards the next sword tomb.
The others were the same. They all began to look for swords that were suitable for them.
Everyone was especially cautious as they only had one chance.
However, what Liu Chuan and the rest did not know was that while they were still searching for swords, someone had already walked deep into the ruins.
