1011: C1011 Deep in the Ruins

C1011 Deep in the Ruins

"The man who owned the ruins must have been a great man." Zhou Yan said with a sigh. This castle was very grand, and there were also many palaces around the castle. These palaces were also very grand, but they looked ancient and full of a gloomy feeling.0

Zhou Yan continued to move forward. Soon, he encountered another group of cavalry. They were all wearing white armor, but black stains could be seen through the gaps of the armor.

Zhou Yan instantly understood what was going on. They were a group of Undead Knights. The Undead Knights could summon some undead. Some of these undead would attack the living, while others would obey the orders of the Undead Knights. The Undead Knights were responsible for guarding these undead.

"Roar!" The Undead Knight looked at Zhou Yan and shouted angrily.

"Hey, your master has already been killed by me. Stop playing tricks on me. I know you can understand what I mean." Zhou Yan said lightly. He had long guessed that these undead would be able to understand human language, but he didn't expect them to understand Chinese. Indeed, they were worthy of being the former Europa Empire.

"Awoo ~ ~" The Undead Knight roared towards the sky.

Immediately after, the Undead Knights began to charge forward, looking as if they were going all out. It seemed that they had set their eyes on Zhou Yan and were determined to kill him at all costs. Thus, they did not care about their own safety and directly rushed over.

"Since you guys are courting death, I will send you to hell." Zhou Yan raised the spear in his hand and rushed forward.

Just as Zhou Yan swung his spear, a few of the Undead Knights collided with Zhou Yan's body and fell to the ground, knocking over a carriage.

At this time, the group of soldiers had also arrived. They chased and shot arrows, while Zhou Yan continued to block them with his wolf fang spear. The material of the wolf fang spear seemed to be very hard, and even in the midst of such a fierce rain of arrows, it was not damaged at all. It even resisted the attacks of the Archers.

After Zhou Yan dodged a few rounds of arrows, he gritted his teeth and jumped to a palace nearby. On the second floor of the palace, he saw the metal box, so he flew up and grabbed it.

At that moment the soldiers had caught up with them. They looked at each other and decided to destroy the palace first. They knew it was not a simple palace, or else how could their king have died here?

Zhou Yan kept searching in the palace, and finally, he found a huge coffin. This coffin was three meters tall, and its entire body was grayish-brown in color. There were complicated patterns carved on it, making it look like a huge piece of art.

Zhou Yan reached out his hand and touched the coffin. He found that the surface of the coffin was still emitting waves of hot air, as if there was still some warmth left in it. Zhou Yan guessed that this coffin was most likely the king's dormitory.

Zhou Yan pushed open the lid of the coffin and found that other than a set of gorgeous clothes, there was also something else in the coffin. Zhou Yan picked up the box and found it to be a wooden box. He tried to open it, only to find that the box was reinforced with a seal.

Zhou Yan took a closer look at the seal and realized that it was not some kind of magical array or incantation, but rather an ancient symbol. This symbol was carved out of some kind of animal bone. Zhou Yan could not help but curse in his heart. Could it be that this damned guy had carved the bone on this box?

Zhou Yan had never seen this symbol before, and he did not know what it was used for, so he could only keep the wooden box away.

After that, Zhou Yan searched the palace once more, but he still did not find anything valuable. However, he found a few gold coins and silver coins in the corner of a room. It seemed to be the money stored by the Undead Knight.

"Damn it!" Zhou Yan could not help but curse.

Originally, he thought that there would be a lot of gold coins or copper coins stored in this ruin. Who knew that it would actually be a pile of silver coins? What a waste of resources.

Zhou Yan, on the other hand, could only complain. After all, he had no other choice. He couldn't possibly throw away the gold and silver coins. They were things that had been picked up for nothing. However, Zhou Yan still planned to leave this place because the silver coins and gold coins had all been taken away and there was nothing left.

Zhou Yan left the ruins with the metal box. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the ruins, he saw a group of soldiers running in his direction.

"These guys are quite vigilant. They chased after me in such a short period of time. Luckily, I ran fast. Otherwise, I really would have died here." Zhou Yan muttered and continued to move forward.

After Zhou Yan continued to move forward for a while, he suddenly stopped. There was a red trail of blood on a huge rock in front of him. It was obvious that an Undead Knight had died here.

Zhou Yan looked around and found that there were a lot of corpses nearby. Most of them had their throats pierced by a sword, which was fatal in one strike. However, some of them had been killed by a single spear strike. It seemed that the battle was extremely intense.

Zhou Yan slowly walked along the trail of blood. Suddenly, he felt a chill under his feet. Looking down, he saw that it was a withered grass leaf. This made Zhou Yan a little surprised. Where did he find this grass leaf?

At this moment, he saw a withered yellow leaf. He followed the trail for a while and saw a withered tree in front of him. A skeleton was hanging from the tree, holding a dagger in its hand. The dagger was stained with blood and looked a little strange.

Zhou Yan frowned slightly. He felt that this skeleton was a bit strange, but he couldn't find anything strange about it within a short period of time. Then, he turned around and left and continued walking forward. Not long after, Zhou Yan encountered another skeleton. This time, he carefully observed it for a while and then found a rusty dagger on the chest of the skeleton. When Zhou Yan saw the dagger, his eyes immediately widened. The shape of the dagger was very similar to the skull scepter in his hand.

Could it be that these two weapons were made by the same person? Zhou Yan was puzzled. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the knight he had injured on the city wall was also carrying these two items. It seemed that the two items really did belong to the same person.

Zhou Yan continued to walk along this trail of blood for a long time before finally arriving at a wide square. At the far end of the square stood a huge palace. Zhou Yan stood in front of the palace and looked at it - it was such a magnificent palace. Although Zhou Yan knew that the city would be destroyed sooner or later, this palace still left a deep impression on him because it was simply too beautiful.
