Star of Civilization

Joyner's truck slowed down, keeping her eyes on them. Where the strangely shaped "wild grass" seemed to have been seen, but she couldn't remember it for a while after racking her brains.

But she had a hunch that it was definitely not a good thing.

Finally, at a distance of about one kilometer away, where the line of sight was enough to see them clearly, Joyna's eyes suddenly widened, and she felt a "squeak" in her heart, completely shocked by the strange scene.

That's not "wild grass" at all!

Instead, hundreds of spears nearly ten meters high and thick wooden stakes were erected chaotically... From a distance, they bloomed like a lotus flower bush.

They were planted on the ground, slanted toward the sky, like a huge tombstone. Viewed from behind the spear, the background is a fortification of boulders, rough and rudimentary, consisting of the remains of a broken city wall.

From the top of each giant spear hangs a man who was hanged, or hanged after being killed. And these people—human skeletons to be exact, drifting in the sand and the wind, are extremely miserable, and the scene is penetrating.

Some people can see the ragged clothes on their bodies, but they have long been weathered and broken, and some are only left with pale bones.

Under the shock, Joyna's mood also experienced huge waves.

She was stunned for a few seconds, no wonder she felt familiar when she saw these spears before, but after a few seconds she thought of the answer, isn't this the shape of those armed spikes on her truck?

Joyna guessed that these dead guys seemed to have been tortured and killed. The reason why the bodies were hung here was to warn the enemies who wanted to challenge the hidden sand castle - what kind of terrifying end would they end up against if they went against her. !

Hundreds of dead people were hung like this, like tombstones standing in the wilderness, and like flags that were specially displayed to other opponents.

This is barbaric, horrific, and bloody! But no matter how lethal it is to the enemy, it is definitely more than enough to taunt and insult the opponent.

That is, the so-called damage is zero, but the insult is off the charts.

In order to confirm her previous guess, Joyner drove the car a little closer, jumped out of the car to watch it up close, and the horrific scene became more and more unbearable.

Sure enough, she saw some black-burning vehicles piled up randomly and put into a garbage heap. These should be all chariots destroyed by weapons. There must have been an extremely fierce war here, and the victors, inspired by the enthusiasm and joy, killed all their opponents on the spot.

Is it the result of one battle or several battles? do not know.

She tried to imagine a scene that was almost beast fighting in this era, but she had no concept at all.

Joyna's face became ugly, her face was cold and blue, and she didn't say a word, feeling like she was back in the savage Middle Ages.

She remembered seeing the afterimages of ancient armies before. After winning the battle, she would kill all the enemies, trample the opponent's city with thousands of iron hooves, and let fire and blood swell everywhere. She has also seen books describing ancient nobles torturing serfs. The practice of killing it and hanging it on the tree at the head of the village has been shown to the villagers.

Joyner returned to the car in silence, gaining a better understanding of the era, a great sense of depression lingering in her mind.

Instead of looking at the totem of death and victory, she raised her head to the gloomy sky covered with lead.

She felt that the clouds in this era were much higher than those seen before, as if the atmosphere was further away from the ground. It stands to reason that such a thick cloud layer means that it is about to rain, but in this era, rain is rarely seen, maybe because rain is corrosive acid rain?

The destination remains the same, and the truck continues on through the wilderness.

An hour later, the scenery changed, and the terrain became more complex and varied - like a tsunami or earthquake had suffered here long ago, and there were huge uplifted formations and ravines everywhere.

The years have not erased these traces, but instead made this area a bit absurd and mysterious.

After climbing over an undulating hill, Joyner saw the outlines of man-made objects scattered in the distance, and saw at a glance that it was a pre-civilization-style building. However, they are already somewhat inclined and dilapidated, comparable to the size of a small town.

She also saw that there seemed to be huge walls and steel gates built around the town's periphery. The gray-yellow patches were probably the color of wood or stone bricks, blocking buildings in several areas, and dug on both sides of the passage to and from the town. Huge trenches, man-made barriers and horse-repellent areas.

Is that the hidden sand castle?

Joyna, imagining the sight of many people living there, was refreshed and muttered to herself.

At this moment, her mood became more complicated and calmer.

Because she knew that the closer she was to the Hidden Sand Castle, the greater the chance of encountering patrolling mobs.

At this time, the straight-line distance from the hidden sand castle is estimated to be less than four or five kilometers.

She is not sure that she can really let a carload of "stowaways" enter the city smoothly. If it was just herself, she might not need these worries at all, because she can easily solve any problem with her powerful skills, and she wants to sneak into the hidden sand castle. Absolutely no one can stop it.

But she had made a promise before that she would take everyone there, and she was not the one to go back on her word, so she had to give it a try. If you are unlucky, the big deal is to kill a few more sand bandits.

Sunset goes down.

When the evening came to the earth again, Joyna still encountered unexpected things.

While driving, she suddenly noticed that the reflector was flickering and flickering. It seemed that some dim yellow and deep thin light was shining behind her, and she immediately realized that it was the light of the vehicle.

And after concentrating on identification, she also heard the faint sound of the engine, and her alertness immediately increased several times.

"one……"

"Two...three..."

Three cars were galloping, chasing after them.

Joyner was holding the steering wheel with one hand, and the other hand touched her boot, and the fang dagger lay quietly on her calf. It is absolutely right to be ready for battle at any time.

She deliberately slowed down the speed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ imitating the driving habits of the sand bandits, pretending to be a sand bandit who just returned from the wild hunting, trying to fool around.

She estimates that there is a patrol team guarding the hidden sand castle behind. If the plan goes well, even if the other party has doubts, at most they will just catch up and ask a few questions, and they will probably be released.

Just like that, Joyner drove nearly a kilometer forward.

At this moment, the sound of the engine behind her became rapid, and she frowned, only to see that the reflector suddenly appeared three times in a row.

"What should come will always come."

Joyner subconsciously felt that the other party had given some kind of signal to stop herself. She sneered, stuck out the tip of her pink tongue, and licked her lower lip lightly.

Like everyone else, Joyner has an unusually strong desire to survive.

"Stop, stop, my mother, I'm a sand bandit returning from the famine, and I'm carrying a cart full of prey."

Now that you're ready to act, you'll have to act the whole set.
