Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1816: Chapter 1818: The Underground City

A new passage appeared in front of Ye Luo!

Together with Man Niu, Ye Luo continued forward.

It can be said that all of this is just luck!

Who would have thought that a mouse would guide Ye Luo to the path?

For the rest of the journey, Ye Luo did not know how many times the passage changed, or how many hidden doors he opened.

However, perseverance pays off, he found it, he found what he was looking for!

An underground city!

It’s just a pity that, for some unknown reason, its owner has already abandoned it.

The crumbling ruins here have long become a paradise for demon beasts!

The fact that there are demon beasts in the mine turned out to be true!

In the center of the whole city stands a high tower, and on top of it there is a mysterious light made of unknown material.

It shines as brightly as a small sun, illuminating everything here with brilliance!

Man Niu certainly wouldn’t be so docile; upon seeing the demon beasts, he charged forward!

But Ye Luo didn’t pay attention to those demon beasts; instead, he started to observe the city.

The houses in this city are generally low, most doors are less than one meter high!

And the buildings are generally low, except for the central tower which is about twenty meters high, other buildings are at most three to five meters tall.

Curiously, apart from the central twenty-meter tall tower, there are numerous surrounding towers that are over ten meters tall, but they’re no longer emitting light.

In the city, there are numerous water channels. It must be noted that this is an underground city, so the easiest way to obtain water is groundwater; it seems the people of the city have also mastered quite some technological powers!

The rooftops of some houses are flat platforms, with some markings among them. Ye Luo’s intuition tells him that those platforms might be used to park aircraft!

The entire city is arranged in a circular layout!

Although the houses on the outermost edge appear quite orderly, the closer they are to the tower, the more spacious and tall they become!

With Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye, of course, there is no need to enter the houses to see clearly!

Indeed, what most puzzles Ye Luo is that the city’s inhabitants seem to have evacuated suddenly.

Because Ye Luo can see that in the majority of houses, there’s not much disorder, and some rooms like kitchens even have pots with food.

Though nowadays that food has even carbonized, Ye Luo can still deduce!

What on earth happened here?

Ye Luo couldn’t help but feel curious, while Man Niu was already battling the demon beasts, Ye Luo didn’t mind, after all, the demon beasts here weren’t very powerful, perhaps they can only be considered beasts.

Just beasts never seen on Earth.

Man Niu’s fighting style is savage; any random brute charge can cause a house to collapse, of course, Ye Luo didn’t mind.

After all, this isn’t Earth, there’s no one here saying anything about preserving historical ruins!

The Martial Realm is enormous, and it has created countless races that once flourished and then quickly declined.

If Ye Luo were to engage in environmentalism every day, he probably wouldn’t be able to have any fun in the Martial Realm.

Holding the Lingyun Sword, extinguishing the torch, Ye Luo proceeded forward.

Generally, to understand a civilization, the best way is to find its power center, so in this city, the most important building is clearly that tower, and the buildings surrounding the tower are probably the most important!

When Ye Luo walked forward, inevitably some demon beasts attacked him, but these demon beasts could not cause any harm to Ye Luo, with a casual sword wave, he’d easily defeat them.

Thus, Ye Luo proceeded forward.

However, halfway through, Ye Luo was a bit surprised.

Because he sensed the presence of spiritual power, although very sparse, it indeed existed!

It’s the light!

Ye Luo never expected that the light on top of the tower could actually gather spiritual power!

What’s going on?

Unfortunately, Ye Luo doesn’t know, and there’s no way to investigate.

However, with spiritual power, even just a little, it made Ye Luo’s exploration much smoother!

These demon beasts kept sneak attacking, making Ye Luo rather frustrated.

Although they couldn’t harm him, when Ye Luo was fully concentrated on examining certain things, these demon beasts would suddenly appear, easily disrupting Ye Luo’s path, so Ye Luo simply condensed a bit of spiritual power, triggering some runes!

These runes were refined by Ye Luo in his boredom, they are classified as summoning talismans, able to condense small fire groups with fairly long existence time!

These small fire groups could wander around Ye Luo, moving with him, and would automatically react upon detecting enemies.

For the current situation, they are perfectly suitable.

Although their attack power is weak, after all, the demon beasts here are also feeble!

Thus, Ye Luo proceeded all the way to the base of the tower, as for the houses encountered along the way, regardless of their completeness, Ye Luo was too lazy to investigate!

There are five buildings around the tower.

Ye Luo glanced with his Clairvoyant Eye; the first should be a library containing many books; naturally, Ye Luo doesn’t recognize the scripts, so he decisively ignored it!

The second should be some sort of academy, though it could also be a conference room.

Since there are numerous seats here, evidently used for gatherings of many people.

But apart from these, there is nothing else, so Ye Luo also chose to ignore it!

The third, if Ye Luo guessed correctly, should be the palace of the ruler here, whether it’s the king or City Lord, because this building is significantly grand, not to mention its ornate decoration; its layout is also exceptionally unique!

Probably fitting the aesthetic preferences of the people here.

However, what frustrated Ye Luo was that in other places, many things were left behind, yet here, almost everything was taken away, rendering exploration pointless!

Ye Luo directly ignored the existence of the fourth building because this is simply an entertainment venue—pools, private cubicles, or other recreational facilities abound; if any discovery is to be made here, that would truly be odd!

The last building is where Ye Luo’s entire hope is concentrated.

Because it is a warehouse!

This warehouse isn’t large, but because of its size, it’s more likely to yield findings.

Most intriguing is the material used for the warehouse—unknown to Ye Luo, some parts couldn’t even be seen through with his Clairvoyant Eye!

Regardless of what it’s made of, Ye Luo was undeterred, kicking open the door, he went inside!
