Doomsday Code

Chapter 596 Ancient Road Galaxy

Sheli said this while gesturing with his hands to indicate a rough range, which was exactly the size of the ruins of the post station.

After getting Sheli's confirmation, Chen Cheng finally felt relieved.

"Well, we'll set up camp here today and set off early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Emile began to prepare to build traps in the camp to prevent common wild beasts in the wild.

Seeing Emile setting up a trap, Chen Cheng asked curiously:

"Isn't it safe here? If we are really in danger, will these traps really work?"

Although Chen Cheng spent the first half of his life as a savage in the mountains with Samlet, he didn't suffer much because of Samlet's strength.

When Emile heard this, he put down the shovel in his hand and said:

"This is used to prevent those ordinary wild beasts. There is a magic array protecting this place underground, and the monsters dare not approach. But we came here, and we are so close to the territory of a beast king. He must have discovered us.

No one knows whether he will drive the common wild animals in the forest to attack our camp at night. Even if we can easily kill ordinary wild animals, when there are too many of them, accidents are inevitable. "

Chen Cheng did not take ordinary wild beasts into consideration. He thought that there would be thousands of jackals, tigers and leopards attacking at night. Even if they were all ordinary wild beasts, the damage they could cause should not be underestimated.

Thinking of that situation, Chen Cheng immediately came forward to help set the trap.

They dug several huge deep pit traps and inserted sharpened wooden sticks, and then the three of them dug a ditch around the edge of the camp.

After the ditch was dug, Emile took out the special fuel from his space bag, and then spread the dug weeds and branches in the ditch, and then poured the special fuel on it.

After doing all this, Emile clapped his hands and said:

"Even though they were driven away by the demonic beasts, they still couldn't avoid the common beasts' fear of fire. Dig a fire channel and light a fire at night, and they'll be fine."

Chen Cheng was listening carefully on the side, because these are important protection measures when camping overnight in the wild.

The sun was setting, and the mottled afterglow of the sunset shone through the gaps between the leaves. At this time, Emile shouted to Chen Cheng in the tent:

"Brown, come out and see."

Chen Cheng thought something big had happened and quickly crawled out of the tent.

Then he saw that on the ancient road covered with weeds and trees not far away, mottled magical light was rising with the afterglow of the setting sun, just like countless fireflies lying on the ground, and now they were waking up from the daytime at night.

Looking to both sides, there is a river of starlight that stretches for who knows how far. If everyone didn't know that danger lies behind this beauty, they would probably be attracted by this scene and then walk into the river of stars.

When the sun completely set, these star-like magical light particles also disappeared, and the entire forest returned to its previous tranquility.

However, the tranquility at this time gives people a sense of danger compared to daytime.

Emile lit the fire channel he had dug during the day, and immediately a fire dragon appeared, surrounding the entire ruins of the post station.

However, even though he was surrounded by raging flames, Chen Cheng inside could not feel the heat of the flames at all.

"This is a fuel unique to our elves, designed for camping outdoors at night like this."

Emile began to explain.

Chen Cheng sat cross-legged on the ground, still looking at the ancient road in front of him which was still shrouded in darkness. The scene just now that looked like the dancing stars in the river really shocked him.

He really couldn't imagine how powerful the empire was back then, to be able to complete such a huge magic road project spanning thousands of miles.

Moreover, the magic array here seems to be driven by sunlight, and can start and stop on its own as the sun rises and sets.

This is simply an alien version of artificial intelligence.

However, today's magic cannot be as intelligent as this. Chen Cheng really cannot imagine how many advanced achievements of civilization have been lost in the past hundred years.

Emil saw Chen Cheng sitting on the ground in a daze. She came over and sat down beside him and said:

"What are you looking at? If you have something on your mind, you must speak up. Otherwise, if you get too emotional, you might have mental problems."

Emile was really worried about Chen Cheng's mental state, so after digging the fire canal during the day, she let Chen Cheng stay in the tent to rest.

Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"I was just wondering why the empire had such powerful magic technology in the past, but it has disappeared now.

Do you think their overthrow of the empire was a sign of progress or regression in civilization?"

However, Emil's expression changed when he heard this.

"Brown, you must never say that in front of outsiders. The empire has always existed, and His Majesty is still here, so the empire has never been overthrown."

Chen Cheng didn't expect that Emile would be so nervous about human politics, and he suddenly became interested.

"Emile, our human politics seems to have nothing to do with the elves. Do you elves also believe in the Emperor of the Empire?"

Seeing that no one was around, Emil stopped hiding and rolled his eyes at Chen Cheng.

"What do you think? Do you really think the Empire is just the empire of you humans? The Empire governs the entire world of Kamarak. Whether it's us elves, dwarves, or that greedy dragon, we are all affiliated races of the Empire.

Those barbarian orcs who are not members of the allied races are now eating snow in the bitter cold land outside the Great Wall in the north."

This was the first time that Chen Cheng learned that the so-called empire had an influence not only within the human race, but also extended to all races in the world.

No wonder Samlet has always been thinking about restoring his country, because he has truly witnessed the empire's most glorious time, when the empire ruled the entire world and all enemies surrendered wherever the emperor's orders went.

Suddenly, Chen Cheng began to understand Samlet and those restoration forces.

"If the problems within our tribes and in the City of Sin hadn't occurred, the plans of those kingdoms wouldn't have been successful."

Emil spoke with some indignation on his face.

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Perhaps he could learn the real reason for the empire's collapse from Emile.

As for the fact that what Samlett told him was just an unreliable rumor, Chen Cheng would never believe it.

"Oh, this is the first time I've heard of this. Didn't everyone say that the 13th Emperor of the Empire was attacked because he found the Doomsday Code and was about to unleash a world-destroying disaster?"

Chen Cheng asked with curiosity.
