459 The Ancient City Appears

  "Greed comes from curiosity. Don't think too much. We don't want the wealth here. Don't take any at all!" In order to prevent everyone from being greedy, Feng Xiaotian had to sternly remind everyone.

  You can take the wealth, but the premise is that you have to be alive to take it and spend it.

  The weight of gold and silver objects is not cheap. Unless they are willing to dump all the water and food in the soul guide, they can only carry them on their backs.

  If they use the precious space in the soul guide to store gold and silver, they will not be able to go far in the future. Carrying gold and silver objects on your back will not only make it easy to be attacked, but also waste too much physical strength when you are on the road, which is a disguised waste of water and food.

  "Don't worry, Xiaotian, we are all our own people and will not be a burden." Ah Fei hurriedly assured everyone.

  He could see that Bai Chenxiang had a trace of greed in his heart, so he took this opportunity to wipe it out.

  Feng Xiaotian finished speaking, and added: "Who knows, this is also part of the God's test experience. Being able to resist the temptation of wealth is to train our character."

  "The God's test is of great importance. I hope everyone can understand the intentions of Senior Fengshen."

  Everyone nodded.

  The days of waiting are long. This place is very close to the oasis and is located upwind of the oasis. Therefore, there is no sandstorm here.

  Feng Xiaotian and his group have been sitting there without moving. Among the others, some people are unwilling to be lonely and have already started in advance.

  To be precise, it was Feng Xiaotian who took the lead in killing people and broke the bottom line in these people's hearts. As for the corpses, they were all thrown into the pit and swallowed by the sea of ​​sand.

  Seven days later, there were less than a hundred people left in the team of more than 200 people.

  Seeing the last layer of gravel retreat, these people could no longer restrain their greed and jumped in one after another.

  Feng Xiaotian held out his hand to stop everyone, "Don't be anxious, we should observe carefully where the map may appear, instead of looking randomly."

  The area of ​​this pit is very large, and the scale of the city ruins that emerged from it is naturally not small.

  Feng Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "If we look at it from the scale of a city, the scale of this ruins is still too small. If we look at it from the scale of a mansion, the scale of this ruins is too large."

  If you want to get what you want, you have to determine where this ruins was originally.

  According to his analysis, this is most likely the palace of this desert kingdom tens of thousands of years ago. Because of the erosion of wind and sand, it was eventually buried in the sand.

  "If it is really a palace, there must be countless wealth here. Next, I'm afraid it will be a bloody storm." A Fei said leisurely.

  If it is really a palace, there must be a map of the entire kingdom inside. Although the sand has buried the kingdom for so many years, if you can get the map, you will definitely find a way to leave here by reverse deduction.

  "Which palace will the map be stored in?" Everyone couldn't help but wonder.

  The ruins of this palace are not the mainstream style on Douluo Continent. It is already quite difficult to determine the functions of each palace, let alone find a map.

  "Let's not separate. Let's go to the palaces that others have not explored first. Once the map is revealed, there must be movement in the city. Then we will go to look for it."

  After determining the target, everyone slid down the slope of the sand pit into the ruins.

  There is still a thin layer of sand on the road of the ruins; sand falls from the roof of the building from time to time.

  "This place has been buried underground for so many years, and the building has not been crushed?" Bai Chenxiang walked into one of the palaces and couldn't help asking.     Looking at the sand falling from the beams, Feng Xiaotian explained, "Sand is like water, it is fluid. This place has not collapsed, I think the sand filled the room."

  His hypothesis was soon verified.

  This is a palace used for sacrifices, in which many large tripods are placed, but the tripods have long been filled with sand.

  After searching in the room for a while, Feng Xiaotian and others shook their heads, "There is no map, but there is a special artifact."

  This is an object similar to a compass, with a raised steel needle in the middle and a pointer on the top. No matter how everyone shakes the compass or how they turn the pointer, the pointer will soon return to the direction it points to.

  "This is a guide!" Everyone reacted immediately.

  "This compass is a bit similar to a nautical compass, but there is a big gap. However, as long as we find a map next, we don't need to look for a reference, we just need to find the right direction to get out."

  "In a sandstorm, with this thing to guide the direction, we can't go around in circles."

  Everyone didn't expect that they would have such a harvest just by entering the hall casually.

  In addition, everyone searched in the hall for a while and didn't find anything useful. There are a few ancient murals that foreshadow the fall of this kingdom.

  The first mural shows the appearance of this kingdom during its heyday.

  The oasis where everyone rested before was originally on the top of a mountain and was regarded as a holy place by this kingdom.

  Starting from the second mural, it records that the wind and sand are getting stronger and stronger, and the water resources in the kingdom are getting less and less.

  In the third mural, a canyon appears, and many people of the kingdom pass through this canyon.

  The next few murals record the process of the kingdom being swallowed by the sea of ​​sand. The last mural shows a scene of a sea of ​​sand, indicating that the kingdom is completely buried underground.

  "The canyon in the third picture should be the Lost Canyon. It should be the only passage for this kingdom and the outside world." Feng Xiaotian analyzed.

  Ah Fei smiled and said, "I just don't know if anyone in this kingdom has become a soul master in the past, and if there are soul bones stored here?"

  Huo Wushuang patted his shoulder and teased, "Ah Fei, do you know that after a soul bone is stored for a thousand years, the soul power inside it will begin to gradually dissipate. Otherwise, why do you think there are still so few soul bones on the continent?"

  Since the beginning of records, the soul master cultivation system on the Douluo Continent has existed for 100,000 years. After such a long time, have there been no soul masters and families who choose to pass down soul bones as treasures from generation to generation?

  The answer is no, but as the soul power in the soul bone dissipates, it is difficult for future generations to absorb it again. Over time, the soul power in the soul bone is lost, and it becomes a fine work of art.

  This desert city has existed for tens of thousands of years. Even if the soul bone has not been taken away, it has been buried in the sea of ​​sand for tens of thousands of years and has long lost its soul power, becoming a work of art that can only be viewed.

  Ah Fei shrugged angrily.

  Except for the children of these wealthy families, nouveau riche and businessmen would not know about these records.

  "Anyway, we have found something useful. We won't get lost when we travel in the sandstorm. Okay, let's look for it somewhere else." Feng Xiaotian patted his arm.
