I have a city in another world

Chapter 6854 Danger in the Ruins
As mud gushed forth, the cave became deeper and deeper.

The area that was once collapsed is now being gradually cleared out. Although it has not been completely cleared away, it is now easily accessible to people.

The method, which seems simple, is actually not simple at all; it is almost like moving mountains and filling seas.

If Tang Zhen is strong enough, he can melt a mountain peak in an instant and make a mountain appear quickly on flat ground.

It could cause a rushing river to stop and change course, or turn into a lake, or even become a barren desert.

Ordinary cultivators, although they can cast spells, absolutely cannot do this.

However, if it were an ordinary person, they could accomplish things that cultivators could not do through years of continuous labor.

The power of mortals should not be underestimated. Given enough time and a suitable environment, mortals can personally destroy the extraordinary and even kill gods.

Countless cultivation civilizations have been conquered and destroyed by high-tech civilizations, and even cultivators have become auction items.

Even the power of rules wielded by gods can often be defeated when faced with the powerful weapons of technological civilizations.

If we use technology to clear the collapsed ruins, there are many ways to do so as well.

Compared to the power of rules, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

Ultimately, however, extraordinary power is more suitable for Tang Zhen.

This is because he often works alone and faces all sorts of difficulties and dangers. Technological methods often require massive logistical support and also have many limitations.

In a short period of time, the cave had expanded to a depth of over a hundred meters, and there was still no sign of it stopping.

If Tang Zhen doesn't control it, the cave may extend thousands of meters, and even penetrate into other underground areas.

This collapse site is not located at the edge of the map; the surrounding area is normal.

The collapse has rendered the road impassable, and the number of residents in the surrounding area is not large.

The fact that Tang Zhen caused such a commotion yet no one noticed is enough to prove how remote this place is.

Of course, the main reason is that he blocked this area, so no signal could be transmitted smoothly.

Otherwise, how could the rolling mudslides, flowing outwards so recklessly, have gone unnoticed?

When he felt it was about time, Tang Zhen temporarily shut down the artifact and stepped into the cave.

The cave's interior became exceptionally smooth after being dissolved by the artifact, with some stones even reflecting a faint light.

Some of the freshly dissolved mud remained on the ground, dripping and making a sound.

With just a little light, the passageway could be illuminated for a long distance, reflecting countless distorted figures of Tang Zhen.

As they continued forward, the figures became twisted and grotesque, like a group of evil spirits about to break free from the wall.

"Ok?"

This seemingly normal yet highly abnormal phenomenon stirred something within Tang Zhen.

Under normal circumstances, it's not unusual for a wall to have a reflection, but these shadows seem to have something different about them.

I've noticed it! Something's off about their eyes!

In a short time, Tang Zhen identified the source of the anomaly: those twisted, flickering eyes.

Hidden within him gleamed a greedy light, as if he had spotted his prey, he kept a close watch on Tang Zhen from the shadows.

Tang Zhen knew very well that they were waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Behind him, many shadows remained fixed in place, as if they were rooted to the ground.

However, their bodies continued to twist and lengthen, and at this moment they were wandering behind Tang Zhen.

Looking at those distorted and deformed "selves" filled with greed and evil thoughts, Tang Zhen's attitude became more and more serious.

This buried site indeed has significant problems; no wonder no one has cleaned and restored it over the years.

It's likely that the problems here have long been known to a few people, but have never been made public. So, did the white-haired stall owner who provided him with the space know the true situation before this?
If the other party knew, why didn't they remind them?
Tang Zhen did not complain about the other party's idea, and at the same time he was very clear that the white-haired stall owner had no obligation to inform him.

There was no personal relationship between the two parties; it was merely a transaction. The white-haired stall owner fulfilled his obligation by informing Tang Zhen of the exact location.

If you want more detailed information, you'll definitely have to pay an extra price; don't expect others to tell you proactively.

Tang Zhen was wary of the white-haired stall owner and was unwilling to have much interaction with him.

As the bridge between cultivators and gods, demigod cultivators are the most troublesome beings. They have reached the end of mortal life and come into contact with divine power. They have both great ambitions and can be driven to despair, confusion, collapse, and madness.

It's best to keep your distance from demigods.

This is not Tang Zhen's prejudice, but rather the experience shared in those biographical notes, some of which were written by demigod cultivators.

They knew better than anyone else what state they were in, and how crazy and dangerous they were.

The main reason, of course, is that Tang Zhen has enough confidence that he can solve any problems that arise.

When Tang Zhen learned that the target location had collapsed, he also felt that something was wrong. Most of the coincidences were actually caused by someone secretly interfering.

There is a very high probability that the collapse at that location was not a normal one.

Even so, he still had to come and take a look to find out the truth of the matter.

Even if it's a trap, Tang Zhen must step into it; that is his mission on this journey.

He wanted to see what secrets were hidden in this unusual meeting place.

Tang Zhen continued forward, ignoring the distorted and dark films.

Looking at those twisted black shadows again, they had become increasingly restless. As Tang Zhen continued to move forward, when he reached a certain critical point, one of the figures finally broke through the wall impatiently.

It transformed into a black shadow and lunged directly at Tang Zhen's back.

If this attack hits, it would be enough to seriously injure Tang Zhen, or even kill him instantly.

But the moment the dark figure touched Tang Zhen's body, it let out a shrill scream.

The shadowy figure suddenly burst into flames, transforming into a fireball and billowing black smoke.

But the burning flames did not frighten the other shadows; instead, they acted as a signal, prompting them to rush out one after another.

Inside the passage at this moment, foreign teachers and distorted shadows surrounded Tang Zhen from both the front and back.

Inside the sealed passage, Tang Zhen had no other way to go but to endure the monster's attacks.

But at that very moment, scorching fire dragons appeared on both sides of Tang Zhen's body, shooting out in two directions, front and back.

The numerous dark figures that rushed towards Tang Zhen were instantly pierced by this fire dragon, turning into ashes in a flash of fire.

After the dazzling light faded, there was no further movement inside the passage, and the distorted black shadow vanished completely.

Tang Zhen stood still, sensing his surroundings, and found nothing unusual.

The problem seemed to be solved, but Tang Zhen did not let his guard down. He believed that things were not so simple.

The attacking monster may have already hidden itself at this moment, silently waiting for the next opportunity.

Continuing along the passage, after walking a hundred meters, we came across another grand hall.

The passage that Tang Zhen created actually passed through this main hall, thus revealing a vast space in front of him.

This might be a coincidence, but it made Tang Zhen's attitude even more serious, simply because he noticed that something was amiss in this place.

The paintings on the walls and the various items on display looked so familiar.

Not long ago, Tang Zhen conquered a secret realm where there were many similar structures.

The sights before him made Tang Zhen realize that what lay hidden in the ruins was likely a forbidden temple.
