"What is it?"
"Not good, the movement is coming from inside the ruins."
"There's something inside."
"I see it, it's a giant black shadow."
Yan Xiong and the others shouted one after another, then took out their weapons to guard.
Su Su was pulled back by her two companions.
Not long after, they saw a giant black shadow emerge from the ruins. It couldn't really be called a black shadow, it was just that the thing was so huge that it cast a large shadow on the ground.
When everyone looked up, they realized that this thing was actually a giant centipede.
It was impossible to tell how big this centipede was, but the part that was exposed was enough to scare Su Su and the others.
"A monster, there's a monster here!"
Su Su, terrified, wanted to go back, but found that there was no light ring behind her. The light ring was in another place, not here.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a small matter. Yan Xiong, go take care of it."
Ning Beichen said to Su Su.
"Yes, Master."
Yan Xiong stomped his feet, flew up, and punched the centipede.
Seeing Yan Xiong, the centipede swung the two long whiskers on its head.
These two long whiskers looked soft but were actually extremely sharp and very flexible. They stabbed towards Yan Xiong in the air.
Yan Xiong let out a cold snort, dodged the centipede's whiskers, and punched its head from a distance, creating a loud bang.
With a bang!
A stream of black viscous liquid poured down like rain.
As soon as this black viscous liquid hit the ground, it sizzled, and clusters of green smoke billowed out.
It was obvious at a glance that the black viscous liquid on the centipede was poisonous, and highly poisonous at that. It could even corrode stones and mud.
Seeing the black viscous liquid drifting towards Su Su and the others, Ning Beichen waved his arm, and an invisible force blew the highly poisonous viscous liquid to the side.
"Attack!"
Zhou Yu, Xu Da, and Zhao Yingdie also began to attack.
After a series of attacks that dazzled Su Su and the others, the centipede finally fell down unwillingly. Its corpse emitted green smoke and was melting like soft mud in the green smoke.
The centipede's potent poison was not only deadly to its enemies but also to itself. Even in death, it did not want its corpse to remain.
However, Ning Beichen and the others were not interested in the centipede's corpse. They couldn't eat it anyway, and even if they could, its disgusting appearance would make them unable to swallow it.
"Hey, Master, the centipede left something behind."
Yan Xiong sucked with his palm and drew a bead left behind by the melted centipede's corpse into his hand.
"Master, it's the centipede's inner core."
Yan Xiong respectfully handed the centipede's inner core to Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen took it and glanced at it, then casually put the inner core away. This thing was useless to him. He planned to take it back for Liu Yilin to research and see if something good could be made from it.
"Miss Su Su, would you like to go inside and take a look?"
Ning Beichen asked her.
Su Su nodded. The things here had already surpassed her imagination. Before this, she had never imagined that there could be such a large centipede in the world.
"Then let's go in and take a look together. I hope we can find something else."
Ning Beichen did not hold out much hope for this, as this place had clearly been occupied by the centipede long ago, and there should be more inside, because Ning Beichen could sense some movement in the ruined city.
However, with Ning Beichen's strength, after being baptized by the demonic beasts from another world, he naturally wouldn't take these "small things" seriously.
Ning Beichen walked at the front, while Yan Xiong and the others were on both sides of Ning Beichen. It wasn't to protect Ning Beichen; Ning Beichen didn't need their protection.
But as servants, they couldn't let their master, Ning Beichen, do everything. If that were the case, what use would they be to Ning Beichen?
The group entered the ruined city and saw that many houses had collapsed, some reduced to mere piles of rotten stone.
As for the buildings that appeared to be relatively intact, even the slightest movement would cause them to collapse in front of them like sand, making them feel the terribleness of time.
The group walked around inside. Almost ninety percent of the buildings had decayed. No matter how glorious they were in the past, after the baptism of time, they were now like an old man on the verge of death, easily blown down by a gust of wind.
However, there were still some buildings that had not collapsed, but their degree of decay was very severe, and there was almost nothing left inside.
Finally, they arrived at the largest building in the ruined city. This building was still relatively well-preserved and was the only building that could be explored.
Some people entered the building's lobby and saw some decorations placed on both sides of the lobby. However, these decorations were so fragile that they would turn to dust if one even approached them, let alone touched them.
In fact, it wasn't surprising. If even the bricks and stones outside could decay, what about these decorations?
It was just that there might have been some formations or something inside this building that allowed these decorations to exist for a longer period.
Furthermore, formations were not omnipotent. Even the most powerful formation could not withstand the ravages of time.
Once the formation's energy was gone, it would return to its original state.
Clearly, this abandoned city had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, and it would be a miracle if it were still intact.
Ning Beichen was not too disappointed, as this was the current state of most blessed lands. Ning Beichen no longer had any emotional fluctuations.
On the other hand, Su Su was full of regret, because everything inside, including a brick, held unusual research significance for her.
It was a pity that nothing was left for her here. Even the electronic devices like mobile phones and cameras she brought with her were unusable here. She didn't know why.
Ning Beichen, however, had some speculations about why some electronic devices were unusable here. He thought it might be a dimensional issue.
The dimensions of the two places were different, so products from another world might not be usable in this dimension.
Of course, this was not absolutely certain.
In fact, Ning Beichen was too lazy to speculate on the reasons, as it didn't affect him much anyway.
However, this was only the lobby. There might still be preserved items inside, so Ning Beichen and the others began to explore the building.
But most of the rooms were the same. Although there were some items inside, they could not be preserved. As soon as they entered, these items would turn to dust.
"Hey, Master, look quickly."
Yan Xiong seemed to have seen something and immediately called out excitedly to Ning Beichen.
