"That's all you have to say? No other instructions? Really?" Gu Ran said, looking into Xue Xiling's eyes.
Xue Xiling originally wanted to just say "no more", but under the pressure of Gu Ran's gaze, she thought seriously for a while.
"No...nothing else. Dad really only said these few words." Xue Xiling said weakly.
After thinking it over carefully, she was sure that there was really nothing more to say.
Seeing that he could not get any more answers, Gu Ran walked to a place not far from the giant triangular pyramid building.
If he were asked to find something familiar for comparison, it would be the pyramid.
This thing is like a cyber pyramid, with the shape of a pyramid and the technology of cyber.
"As long as I get close, the door of the ruins will open automatically. Could it be that this ruins is my home? Going in is like going home, so the door will open automatically for me?" Gu Ran couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
What Gu Ran didn't expect was that as he approached, this cyber pyramid actually responded.
"The gate is open! The gate is open!"
A mechanical electronic sound came over.
This voice made Gu Ran stunned, and his heart was in turmoil.
This voice was so familiar, it was exactly the same as the mechanical electronic sound in the mermaid ruins.
Could it be that the builders of these two ruins are the same person or force
Gu Ran couldn't help but have some interesting associations in his mind.
Or is it just a coincidence that all mechanical and electronic sounds in the world are the same
However, no matter how he thought about it, Gu Ran still felt that the first guess was more reliable, because he had heard other similar mechanical electronic sounds before, which were very different from this one.
“Welcome back!”
As a voice sounded, as if by a shadow, Gu Ran and the others suddenly discovered that the surrounding environment had undergone a drastic change.
The original wilderness disappeared, replaced by a city.
This city...
Why does it look so familiar
"Canglong City? Are we back in Canglong City?" a voice shouted in surprise.
Reminded by this voice, the others also discovered that the city not far away was actually Canglong City.
Gu Ran had once observed Canglong City from afar, and there was a Canglong phantom that left a deep impression on him. That Canglong phantom unexpectedly reappeared at this moment, circling above Canglong City for a while, as if making an earth-shaking roar, and then flew into Canglong City, as if it had merged into one with Canglong City.
This is actually Canglong City!
Gu Ran was also shocked.
They actually went back
"What's going on? Aren't we going to explore the ruins anymore? Why are we going back to Canglong City?" someone asked in confusion.
"How should I know what's going on? The specifics of what's going on still depend on Captain Leng."
Everyone turned their eyes to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran checked the things on his body and found that nothing was missing. The hard parts were still hard, and the soft parts were still soft.
"Let's go! No matter what, let's go to the Canglong City that we saw first." Gu Ran took the lead and walked towards the Canglong City.
He had just ruled out the possibility that someone else had cast an illusion on them, so they might have really gone back.
Although I don't know why the ruins teleported them back, it's great that they can return safely, even if they don't gain anything.
Oh, no, the ruins teleported them to a place not far from Canglong City. From a scientific research perspective, this in itself is a gain.
"Hey, look, how come the houses in the slums in front of Canglong City have changed so much? Could it be that the ruling center in the inner city has allocated funds to transform this place? But why go to so much effort to transform it?" A researcher pointed curiously at the slums in Canglong City.
Gu Ran also saw it, and his face was extremely solemn at this moment.
"Let's speed up." Gu Ran turned around and ordered.
The team's speed immediately increased significantly, and twenty minutes later, they arrived at the outskirts of the slums of Canglong City.
"Why do the buildings here look like they were built hundreds of years ago?" a researcher said puzzledly.
"Can you be specific about which era?" Gu Ran immediately turned to look at him.
The researcher was startled by Gu Ran's serious expression. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "It should be a building from four hundred to three hundred years ago. At that time, the city defense cannon had not yet been invented, and even the star stone technology was just getting started.
"So the buildings in these slums are built like fortresses, mainly to better resist the attacks of the beast tide. But if you look closely, you can see some Star Stone technology products such as wires on these buildings. This shows that Star Stone technology should have started at this time. The most suitable period is between four hundred years ago and three hundred years ago."
Gu Ran's face darkened slightly.
This period of time... was the era of the very famous but unknown tyrant of Canglong City.
Did they travel back to the past
But time should be linear and irreversible.
Or is this some kind of illusion
Gu Ran blended into the surroundings, feeling it quietly.
But the result of my feeling is that this is a normal world, not an illusion or a trick.
"Look, that's a tide of ferocious beasts!"
Suddenly someone pointed at the wilderness in the distance and shouted in panic.
In the wilderness far away, a darkness covered the sky and earth, and in this darkness there were countless ferocious beasts of all kinds.
If they were in the inner city, they would definitely not be so panicked, but they were not in the inner city at the moment, and the Canglong City in front of them was also very strange, which was completely different from the Canglong City they knew.
140. Another battle to defend Canglong City from the tide of ferocious beasts! 4k
No one expected that they would encounter a tide of ferocious beasts at this time. Now they are in a dilemma with wolves in front and tigers behind.
If they retreated into Canglong City to avoid the tide of ferocious beasts, the situation in the city was unclear. They still had great doubts about this familiar yet unfamiliar Canglong City. If they did not retreat into Canglong City, they would have to face the upcoming tide of ferocious beasts.
And judging from the situation, the range of this ferocious beast tide is very wide. Even if they want to retreat in the original direction, they still cannot escape the ferocious beast tide.
Although they have practiced some martial arts to some extent, they can only strengthen their bodies. At most, they can kill a dozen ordinary ferocious beasts with firearms. Once the bullets are used up, it will be their death.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Gu Ran.
"Let's retreat into Canglong City, but not too deep. Let's find a place to hide first and observe the situation." Gu Ran said calmly.
The exact situation in this world has not been figured out yet, so Gu Ran chose a compromise approach.
After hearing Gu Ran's words, everyone quickly ran towards the slums.
"It seems there are residents here too! Look, they are all hiding in the houses watching us."
There were indeed many pairs of peeping and observing eyes inside these buildings that were as solid as fortresses. When looking over, one could faintly see human figures, but they were all silent. Facing Gu Ran and the others running on the street, they had no intention of lending a helping hand, nor did they have any intention of attacking them.
"Everything here seems to be the same as it was hundreds of years ago. Have we really returned to Canglong City hundreds of years ago?"
Along the way, everything they saw was different from the Canglong City they knew.
The current Canglong City, which is the Canglong City they know, is a place where martial arts prevail even in the slums. Facing a tide of ferocious beasts, except for some elderly, weak, women and children, everyone else will actively fight with the beasts to gain military merit.
Because they can rely on themselves and their legion's strength to resist the tide of ferocious beasts, they will even take the initiative to attack, so the buildings in the slums are just ordinary buildings, and only some fortress buildings for the elderly, the weak, women and children to hide are built in the back of the slums.
Now the slums of Canglong City are like a series of fortresses. Behind one or two ordinary residential houses is an armed fortress with parapets, arrow holes, and some devices of unknown use.
"Okay, let's stop!"
When they arrived at the Dragon Blood River, Gu Ran asked everyone to stop.
Because there was no road ahead, if they wanted to cross the river they could only swim.
"The detachable and assembled pontoon bridge... ... has been put away." Gu Ran looked at a pile of pontoon bridge materials placed aside opposite, and there were some soldiers guarding them.
When Gu Ran and other strange people came over, all the soldiers looked over with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.
"This reaction is really real. Is there any illusion that can achieve this?"
After thinking about it, Gu Ran temporarily ruled out the possibility of encountering an illusion.
Suddenly, Gu Ran felt the triangular crystal cone in his pocket become restless and wanted to fly towards the Dragon Blood River.
Gu Ran's expression changed slightly.
The last time there was unusual movement near the Dragon Blood River, it was because the triangular crystal cone wanted to absorb something from the Dragon Blood River, but it should have absorbed it all at that time, so why is it hungry again now
Could it be that this river, the river in front of him, still has the things that the three-sided crystal cone desires
If this is true, doesn't that mean the river is actually real
Have we really traveled back three hundred years
It's just that time is linear and irreversible...
Throughout human history, no one has ever been able to master the power to reverse the flow of time. Countless people are crazy about this topic, but let alone the power to reverse the flow of time, even the power that is slightly related to time is very rare, let alone the power to change time and space like this.
"Could it be that the power of this relic is so strong?" Gu Ran couldn't help but doubt in his heart.
Although according to records, humans have never mastered the power to reverse the flow of time, it is also possible that such power does exist but has not been recorded by humans yet.
Moreover, the records about this tyrant are also vague...
