Black Dragon Code

Chapter 73 City Ruins

This is a dry and desolate land, lifeless, with only low hills and weather-beaten, barren wilderness.

Caesar galloped past from a low altitude, with a huge wingspan carrying a whistling hurricane, agitating and rolling up the desert yellow sand, causing dust storms everywhere he passed.

Time is running out, he not only needs to find the location in Sif's guidance, but also needs to explore it clearly as soon as possible. There is neither a well nor a sweet spring found in the Sailong Gobi, only a dry, shallow and stagnant bitter pool exposed to the scorching sun. As you go deeper into the location indicated by the map, you will find fewer and fewer water sources, and the distance between pools will become longer and rarer.

For any creature, food and water are a big problem, especially in the hot and desolate Gobi Desert.

The next bitter pool they found was boiling hot and stinks of sulfur, but the orcs and gnolls had no choice but to find a container to hold the water and drink it when it cooled.

Caesar didn't mind this at all. This guy's stomach was like a melting pot, capable of digesting everything he ate. If there was really no food, this guy wouldn't be able to starve to death just by eating dirt.

But his dependents were not sure. Without food supplements, the weak wolf man began to whimper and die, and then was eaten by his own kind. The orcs were slightly more resistant, but the situation was just as bad.

Fortunately, when the darkness covered the sky, they rushed to a cracked loess plain, where they saw a city standing abruptly.

"His Majesty."

The jackal Hogg shouted, this guy just ate half of his own species, but his expression was very natural, without any strange feeling, and he reported in a full-fledged manner: "That's the city."

The black dragon ignored him, flapped its wings and approached quickly, arriving at the city ruins.

The brick walls integrated with the desert are full of cracks, and some of the tops of the walls have dragon thorns facing the sky, but most of them have been weathered, peeled off and buried by yellow sand.

"It looks like an ancient fortress. Are these things... used to resist blue dragons?"

Caesar flapped his dragon wings and landed slowly, staring at the city wall more than 20 meters high. There were still towers and crossbow ports inside the wall, but they were also withered and reduced to a situation where they could only be decorations.

"Caesar."

Luna exposed half of her head from the thorns on his back, and whispered: "There is magic flowing in this place, it is very weak, but it does exist, you have to be careful."

"This city has been deserted for at least a thousand years, will there be magic flow?"

Caesar turned his head and asked the fairy of the forest, "Are you sure?"

The little guy closed his eyes, opened them again, and nodded seriously: "Mmm—"

At this time, Hogg also led his clan of gnolls to arrive. These guys can run like dire wolves, much faster than orcs with armor and armor on their backs.

"It seems that I remember correctly, Your Majesty."

Hogg stopped behind Caesar, holding the heavy hatchet in his hand: "This is a dead city. It has no name and no name, and everything is broken. Only the strong wind and undead shuttle through the streets."

Hogg is deeply suspicious of the map from the Stonecrow clan.

"Oh, undead."

Luna tremblingly said: "It seems that there will be evil spirits haunting the night, Caesar, can we avoid this place."

The little guy has become a lot less courageous, it seems that he was frightened by the green dragon before.

"puff."

Caesar sneered at this, and asked with a smile: "You were not afraid when you were peeping at me, but you are still afraid of the undead?"

As the most dark and evil dragon species, most black dragons will spontaneously awaken some necromancy, and some extreme black dragons will even take the initiative to learn this type of magic. They like to manipulate the dead and stay with the undead for life.

More than half of the dracolich in Elradia are all transformed by black dragons. In a sense, black dragons are much more terrifying than ordinary undead creatures.

Caesar shook off the dust that gradually covered his body after only standing for a short while,

Go through the tall arches of the ruins of the ancient city first, and walk along the silent main road. Garr and the orcs of the Stone Crow clan followed closely behind, and the rest of the gnolls also followed slowly.

In his opinion, this city may have been abandoned for more than a thousand years. It is full of broken walls and ruins. The narrow alleys are blocked by rocks and yellow sand. Go to a miserable yellow.

The wind and sand raged in the square, and weeds grew between the road stones.

However, Caesar was not an archaeologist, and he was not interested in studying the context and historical stories of the city. He asked his family members to camp in the ruins of a long-destroyed palace, and then sent people to search for the ruins.

Although the dark curtain covered the land, both the orcs and the gnolls had dark vision, which could not trouble them, so the orcs took the lead to leave. Although the dirty and lazy gnolls were reluctant, under Hogg's order Still spread out.

Not long after, a wolf man with a black spot on his head ran back, his fangs were drooling, and he was holding a bunch of figs in his arms. Greedy snatching, pushing and biting each other, stuffing fruit into mouth, chewing contentedly.

Later, other searchers reported one after another. Some orcs found orchards in the secret garden of the lord area. Although most of them were withered, they found a living vine with green grapes hanging from it.

Orcash found a well, the well water was cold and clean, while Garr was attacked by ignorant skeletons, but was crushed and exploded by the big orc. He found a large number of untreated white bones in the corner of the city ruins, which were pale and damaged.

Hogg found the statue.

The standing sculpture has gone through thousands of years and has not yet collapsed. It is magnificent and magnificent.

It was a huge humanoid creature carved purely from granite, taller and bigger than Caesar. The humanoid creature had a bare chest, only its right arm was covered with thick shoulder armor, and there was a horn on its belt. Insignia, with a long-handled battle ax in his right hand and a battle flag in his left.

His ears were small and long like an elf's, four lower tusks jutted out of his mouth, a scar over his eye, and his hair was tied back and hung loose on his face.

"Ancient orc."

Caesar narrowed his eyes and judged softly.

This statue should be an orc hero in the epic era. At that time, the male orcs had thick hair and long and narrow ears. Now the orcs' ears have degenerated to the size of humans, and the male...

Caesar glanced at the members of his Stone Crow clan, almost all of them were bald.

It is impossible for humans to allow orc sculptures to be built in their own cities. So, this is an orc fortress?

A product of the orc empire era?

Tsk, then this age is really long enough... The black dragon couldn't help but smack its lips.

Luna flew to his head and opened her eyes wide: "Caesar, the magic power is stronger here than other places."
