I Can’t Play This Game Anymore

Everyone was confused when they heard Ji Han ask how to eat the fire rat.

Chen Ke said curiously:

"Brother Ji, I'm bringing beef jerky with me. There's no need to eat this, right?"

"It's not to fill the stomach, but the flesh and blood of this magma fire rat can enhance the ability to resist fire. Although the flames around the city seem to be extinguished, I think this kind of help is still necessary."

Song Qian and Chen Ke remembered that Ji Han could resist the captain's fire attack before, thinking that this was the reason, and agreed.

Eggplant rolled up her arms and sleeves and said:

"Well, leave it to me. I have handled some wild game before when performing missions in the field."

With that said, he started to decapitate the magma fire rat on the ground and skin it. It looked like he was really skilled in the knife skills.

After these magma fire rats were killed, their fur returned to snow-white color again.

After Eggplant had dealt with all the magma fire rats, Ji Han's eyes showed:

The best fire rat fur has arrived.

This thing is good, but it is not something that can be given to teammates, so you can only use it yourself first.

Eggplant turned the skinned fire rat over and used a knife to cut off the tender meat on the back of the fire rat next to the spine.

"Here, this piece of meat is the tenderest and can be eaten directly."

Chen Ke looked reluctant:

"Uh, why don't you deal with it?"

"Don't worry, there should be no parasites or germs in this environment near magma."

Ji Han felt a little nauseous as he watched the meat being removed from the fire rat. Although he had watched several episodes of Wilderness Survival, it was still not good to eat wild animals raw.

So he took out a flaming arrow and ignited it on the ground, made a small fire, and briefly grilled the tender meat before passing it to everyone.

"Come on, do it."

Chen Ke took out the beef jerky and handed it to everyone. This could at least cover up the smell of fire rat meat.

But it was almost useless, because the four of them basically swallowed the fire rat meat directly.

"Brother Han, is this okay?"

Looking at the data reminder in front of me:

Each time the body takes fire damage, it is reduced by half.

"Well, this way the fire damage to the body can be reduced by half."

The three of them felt that there was nothing special about the fire rat meat they ate, but after hearing Ji Han's words so confidently, they didn't question it.

After extinguishing the flames on the ground, the four of them continued walking along the stone road towards the black city they had seen before.

After scaring away the magma fire rats, the journey was quite peaceful, and it was safer to rely on Chen Ke's drone to explore the road ahead.

The trees around them were getting taller and taller. After walking for more than half an hour, an old stone bridge finally appeared in front of the four of them.

Under the stone bridge is a deep ravine. Some red firelight can be vaguely seen, and heat is clearly felt coming up.

Song Qian twisted a lighting rod and threw it down. The lighting rod fell freely for three or four seconds before reaching the bottom.

Not long after it was illuminated, the lighting rod started to fire with a "whoosh" sound.

Ji Han raised his head and said:

"There should be magma down here. According to the image of magma surrounded by magma in the Nine Star Mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the image of the wild flames should be here. But maybe we are lucky. The volcano is in the dormant period now and the state is relatively stable."

Opposite the stone bridge are two tall castles. Although they don't even have gates, the endless darkness behind the castles on both sides and the doorways makes people a little uneasy.

Eggplant knocked on the ground of the stone bridge and cursed:

"Hey, the natural floor heating is good, but you won't get carbon monoxide poisoning if you live here?"

Ji Han shook his head and took the lead on the stone bridge road:

"Not to mention carbon monoxide, we don't even see water here. It's probably not an ordinary person who can live in a place like this."

Chen Ke put the drone into the sky, but he still couldn't see the whole city.

"Brother Ji, please give me another lighting arrow."

"This place has too much space. Let's climb up to the city gate before launching."

But when the four of them stepped into the city gate, they saw a charred corpse lying on the ground.

It was too dark to pay attention to the steps just now, but now I noticed that the corpse was lying on the ground with its body stretched out, one hand stretched out in the direction of the city gate, as if it was still crawling towards the city gate before it died.

Seeing this, the four of them checked carefully. The body was completely black and seemed to have been burned to death. However, it was not carbonized to the touch and was even somewhat elastic, as if a person had been covered in a layer of asphalt.

Ji Han looked back at Chen Ke:

"Come on, archaeological expert, it's up to you to confirm the age."

Chen Ke spread his hands and said:

"Brother Ji, you think too highly of me, don't you? It's all done like this, without any physical features left. I can't tell."

But speaking of corpses, Ji Han remembered the corpse he had seen in human amber before, so he asked:

"Then can you judge the body just inside the amber?"

Chen Ke frowned and recalled:

"It's hard to judge those corpses, because they are all wearing nomadic hunting clothes, but there are almost no decorations. They should be from an older tribe. I can only confirm that they are from 1,500 years ago. , I can’t tell what dynasty it is.”

Seeing that Ji Han didn't reply, Chen Ke added:

"However, the construction feature of having city gates on both sides of the city gate seems to be the style of the Qin and Han Dynasties. If you shoot an arrow from the city tower and see the specific situation inside, you should be able to confirm it."

Did Ji Hanxin talk about Qin and Han Dynasties?

However, the Pre-Qin Nine-Star Mirror shows that there was a city here thousands of years ago. However, there were several volcanic eruptions in the middle, so it is possible that the city was renovated by later generations.

If we think carefully, the time when the city was built and the corpses on the ground may not be the same time.

"Okay, let's go and take a look at the city first."

Everyone had just stepped into the city. Although they did not see the full view of the city, they immediately discovered that there were more than one charred corpse similar to the one in the city gate hole on the streets of the city.

He was also lying on the ground, his whole body was blackened, and he raised his hand to grab something.

Song Qian said in surprise

"The condition of these people is like the situation after the volcanic eruption in Pompeii. Could it be that they died due to the volcanic eruption?"

Ji Han shook his head and said

"That's not right. These corpses were not wrapped in volcanic ash, and they were preserved without being melted. It should not be magma, and there are no traces of magma here. They were killed by something else."

Looking at the direction of these corpses, all of them were facing the city gate, Qiezi added

"It seems that what killed them was something that appeared in the city. It was so sudden that they didn't even have a chance to escape from the city gate."

Chen Ke shuddered and said

"Stop talking. Besides, I won't go in with you."

Ji Han ignored the bodies on the ground and walked up to the top of the city along the heavily peeled stone steps on one side.

He pulled out a lighting arrow and shot it at an angle perpendicular to the city wall, roughly estimating the height.

And as the light of the lighting arrow burst out, what appeared in front of Ji Han's eyes was a city structure that he had never imagined.
