Chapter 459: Ancient City Appears

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

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

The gold and silver objects were very heavy, and unless they were willing to pour out all the water and food in their soul guides, they could only carry them on their backs.

If they used the precious space in the soul guide to store gold and silver, they would not be able to go far in the future. Carrying gold and silver objects on their backs would not only make them vulnerable to attacks, but also waste too much energy while traveling, which was a disguised waste of water and food.

"Don't worry, Xiaotian. We are all family and we won't do anything to become a burden." A Fei quickly assured everyone.

He could see that a trace of greed was aroused in Bai Chenxiang's heart, so he took this opportunity to wipe it out.

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

"The divine examination is of great importance. I hope everyone can understand Senior Fengshen's intentions."

Everyone nodded.

The days of waiting are long, and this place is very close to the oasis and is located upwind of the oasis, so there are no sandstorms here.

Feng Xiaotian and his group remained sitting there without moving, while some of the others were unwilling to be left out and had already taken action.

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, out of the original team of more than 200 people, only less than 100 people were left standing.

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

Feng Xiaotian stretched out his hand to stop everyone, "Don't be anxious, we should observe carefully where the map may appear instead of searching 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 perspective of a city, the scale of this site is still too small. If we look at it from the perspective of a mansion, the scale of this site is too large."

If you want to get what you want, you have to determine where the site was originally.

According to his analysis, this place was most likely the palace of this desert kingdom tens of thousands of years ago, which was eventually buried in the sand due to erosion by wind and sand.

"If it is really a palace, there must be countless wealth here. What follows will probably be a bloody storm." A Fei said leisurely.

It was really a palace, and there must be a map of the entire kingdom inside. Although the kingdom had long been buried by sand over the years, if we could get the map, we would definitely be able to find a way to leave here by working backwards.

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

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

"Let's not separate. Let's go to the palace that no one else has explored. Once the map comes out, there must be movement in the city. We will then go and 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 roofs of the buildings from time to time.

"This place has been buried underground for so many years, but the building has not collapsed?" 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 has filled the room."

His hypothesis was soon verified.

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

After searching the room for a while, Feng Xiaotian and the 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 people shake the compass or move the pointer, the pointer will quickly return to the direction it points to.

"This is something that guides the direction!" Everyone reacted immediately.

"This compass is somewhat similar to a nautical compass, but it's quite different. However, as long as we find the map, we don't need to look for reference points, we just need to find the right direction to get out."

"In a sandstorm, with this thing to guide us, we won't be going around in circles."

No one expected that they would gain such a reward just by casually entering the hall.

Apart from this, the crowd searched the hall for a while and found nothing useful. However, there were a few ancient murals that foreshadowed the demise of this kingdom.

The first mural shows what the kingdom looked like during its heyday.

The oasis where everyone rested earlier was on 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.

The third mural shows a canyon, through which many citizens of the kingdom pass.

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

"The canyon in the third picture should be the Lost Canyon. It should be the only passage between 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, "A Fei, do you know that after a soul bone has been 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 records began, the soul master training system on Douluo Continent has existed for 100,000 years. After such a long time, are there no soul masters or 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 and exert its original power. 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 bones have not been taken away, they have been buried in the sea of ​​sand for tens of thousands of years and have long lost all their soul power, turning into a work of art that can only be admired.

Ah Fei shrugged angrily.

Apart from the children of these large families with strong backgrounds, the 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 lightly.
