Chapter 660: Chapter 661 Relics_1

"Hehe~"

Feng Yuan touched his head but didn’t explain anything. Looking at the nobles furrowing their brows while tasting tea not far away, Liu Wenli said with some confusion,

"What exactly did they do to you? Do you need to deal with them like that?"

"I’m not dealing with them, it’s just that this sea of flowers was painstakingly created by Monalisa; why should they be the first to enjoy it?"

"You..."

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly. He had not thought that Feng Yuan’s reason for acting this way was because of this. Monalisa, who was eating, paused, looked at Feng Yuan somewhat embarrassed, and seemed a bit shy.

"Is this really an ancient ruin?"

The noisy hawking kept coming. Guo Huai looked at those market stalls with some speechlessness, saying that the vendors, one by one dressed in shabby clothes, were hawking their goods, which were many artifacts that seemed to come from ancient ruins.

But the quantity... Guo Huai looked around—if all these were real, the ruins would be beyond imagination, given they definitely hadn’t just started selling today.

"These... are probably all fakes, right?"

Wei Dingwu frowned and said, and Liu Wenli laughed and said,

"Isn’t that obvious? Ancient relics are not a renewable resource. If they were all real, just the number here would be quite alarming, even the black market doesn’t have that many ancient relics."

Unlike the black market, which does have some ancient relics but not in great numbers—mostly various strange plants and minerals—here it’s the exact opposite, nearly all kinds of ’ancient relics’ that seem freshly unearthed.

"Do you want to try your luck here, scavenging for treasures?"

After a glance at Feng Yuan, Liu Wenli refused,

"Better not waste our time; we don’t have your ability to identify them at a glance."

Guo Huai just looked and lost interest, saying,

"None seem like good stuff, but with this place looking like that, inside the ruins..."

"It probably hasn’t turned into a tourist attraction yet."

Feng Yuan shrugged and said. Although the relatively safe areas might no longer have anything, Feng Yuan believed there were definitely still many unbreached areas left, otherwise, adventurers would not keep coming here.

"Is it safe?"

Mo Li glanced at Mo Ling, worrying as he asked. He feared danger, as not many unbreached ruins that remained until now were easy to deal with.

"No worries, both Delong Tower and the White Wolf Deity are here; if there’s real danger, we can just tear it down at worst."

The Agunas illusion rolled his eyes and said,

"Aren’t you afraid the Lord will get angry? These ruins still hold some value for them, no?"

"I believe it won’t come to that."

Feng Yuan replied calmly, Yao Yin shrugged helplessly and said to Mo Ling,

"Later, you’d best not run around, or he might really tear down the ruins."

"It... probably won’t come to that, right...?"

Mo Ling asked, somewhat concerned. The Divine Land Region is not devoid of ancient ruins, but they are fraught with perils. Combined with a more stable environment compared to Omeilia, and not as many adventurers exploring, the legends about ancient ruins have been greatly mythicized.

At least in Mo Ling’s eyes, those ancient ruins were not something even Divine Beasts could destroy.

The Illusory Sound Parrot flapped its wings, hovering in the air. The hawkers’ gaze was all attracted by this Spirit Beast they had never seen before. Some people even secretly took out weapons, but the Illusory Sound Parrot quickly landed proudly at Feng Yuan’s feet, preening its feathers. At this moment, to avoid trouble, Delong Tower kept its size considerable.

Seeing Delong Tower control a huge water orb, those people didn’t dare to make a move. Maybe they were unaware of yesterday’s battle, but ordinary Spirit Beasts could not control a giant water orb so effortlessly as Delong Tower.

Both Monalisa and Xiao Ji were ignored by them. At this moment, people could only judge their strength based on the size of the Spirit Beasts, so the relatively larger Illusory Sound Parrot was quite attention-grabbing.

Especially since the Illusory Sound Parrot occasionally left Feng Yuan’s side to fly around, arousing their greedy thoughts even more. Disdainfully glancing at the bird food far away, the Illusory Sound Parrot was not tempted by those foods at all. It was just enjoying the thrill of borrowed power, naturally not daring to really stray from Feng Yuan’s sight.

Although its strength was not too weak now, who knew if those lawless folks had any special means? What if it damaged its precious feathers?

"Don’t fly around anymore. Your flaunting might incite someone unable to restrain themselves to act."

The Illusory Sound Parrot affectionately rubbed its head against Feng Yuan and stopped its random flying. Watching Feng Yuan’s group disappear from their view, the hawkers couldn’t help but sigh as if regretting something.

"Their tactics really are..."

Looking at the violently destroyed passage, Yao Yin said somewhat speechlessly while Feng Yuan reached out to touch the cracks filling the walls,

"Survival is the most important thing, isn’t it? For safety, what’s a little wall destruction?"

"Why do I feel like you’re just making excuses for wanting to demolish the ruins?"

Glancing at Guo Huai, Feng Yuan calmly said,

"Do you think it’s right to put yourself in danger to protect the ruins?"

"That’s not what I’m saying, but...huh?! Do they have that thing in Omeilia too?"

"The Nien Wheel? That thing... just assume it’s everywhere."

Feng Yuan paused and explained, as the Agunas shadow flicked its tail uneasily,

"How exactly did they explore this ruin?"

In front of everyone, a complete Nien Wheel was carved on the wall but had become damaged due to the battle, almost unrecognizable had they not seen a Nien Wheel before.

"Who knows, maybe this isn’t a ruin with a comprehensive defense system."

"You believe that?"

"Believe it or not, what can you do? The reality is right here, you can’t deny it."

Feng Yuan shrugged and said disdainfully, although the presence of the Nien Wheel suggested the ruins might harbor dangers threatening even Divine Beasts, Feng Yuan was unconcerned. Truth be told, he had ways to deal with the civilization that created the Nien Wheel, let alone these decrepit Ancient Ruins.

"Shall we go outside..."

Mo Li pulled Mo Ling to his side, protectively, and said with some concern, as Feng Yuan smiled and replied,

"Although I don’t think there will be any danger, if you say so, I won’t argue."

Liu Wenli thought for a moment and said,

"Although the appearance of the Nien Wheel suggests the danger level here might be high, since so many adventurers are exploring, at least the areas that have been explored should be safe. We just need to avoid exploring new areas."

"That’s easy to say, but how do you know which areas are unexplored?"

Guo Huai said, somewhat discontent. Liu Wenli glanced at him and replied,

"Simple, don’t try to open any protected mechanisms. I believe those adventurers have thoroughly explored all the easily accessible areas."

"Is that so?"

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan’s face revealed a mischievous smile, and the Agunas shadow flicked its tail with a bad premonition.

"What a pity..."

Yao Yin gently caressed the damaged relief. Those adventurers didn’t take care of the reliefs at all, ruthlessly damaging them while trying to break the mechanisms, resulting in much destruction. Perhaps because the deeper one went, the more mechanisms there were, it was hard to discern what the reliefs originally looked like.

"In this era, so-called historical research isn’t popular."

Feng Yuan said with a slight smile. Green orbs floated around him and moved with his movements. Noticing Feng Yuan approaching, Guo Huai said irritably,

"Keep away from me, will you?"

"Tsk!"

"Who told you to bring out a green light."

Before Feng Yuan could finish his sentence, Guo Huai complained. Looking at the surrounding green orbs, Feng Yuan said with a sly smile,

"I’m just reminding you, yo – it’s a hint, get it?"

"Buzz off!"

Guo Huai yelled somewhat angrily. The Illusory Sound Parrot on Feng Yuan’s arm mimicked Guo Huai’s voice and squawked back at him, causing Guo Huai to point at the parrot and say to Feng Yuan,

"Look what you’ve done, you’ve corrupted it!"

Shrugging, Feng Yuan said wordlessly,

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly teach it how to make sounds?"
