Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 715 Bonfire Party, A Night Spent in the Ruins.

Brown re-entered the Primal Giant form, his size increasing dramatically!

The next moment, his large, fan-like hands grabbed the two iron doors and then exerted force!
"Rumble..."

With a dull thud, he dragged the two massive iron doors, and they began to slowly close.

It was shut off completely after a short while.

The light inside the ruins dimmed instantly.

Somewhat embarrassingly, they dismantled everything that could be dismantled inside the building.

The lighting equipment was also removed, which has made the interior of the building dark.

Although a little light could be seen through the square windows in the ceiling area, it was clearly not enough.

Just then, Isabel lightly tapped the ground with her staff.

"Om..."

The next moment, bright holy light burst forth from the tip of her staff.

In an instant, the entire interior of the building was illuminated.

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Having a legendary-level Holy Light Sage by my side is really convenient, he's like a giant, portable light bulb."

He paused for a moment, then looked at the group and said, "Alright, everyone, find a place to rest. We'll be staying here tonight."

Upon hearing this, everyone relaxed and found a comfortable corner to relax.

Cao Xing took out some wood and coal from his backpack and started a fire.

"Tsk...tsk..."

As sparks flew, the pile of wood was gradually ignited.

The orange-red flames gradually ignited, casting flickering light and shadow.

Fortunately, the building is not completely enclosed, and air can circulate from the outside.

Otherwise, you won't be able to start a fire.

"Crack... crack..."

As the wood gradually burned, it emitted waves of warmth, which in turn raised the temperature inside the building.

The crowd followed the source of the fire and gathered around it.

Even colossal creatures like the mammoth Great White and Volibear lay on the ground, their backs against the fire.

Xiao Chuchu, Elisa, and the others nestled among the thick fur of these giant beasts.

They also invited Bai Zhi to come over and lie on Volibear's fur.

The snow bear's fur is quite thick and soft; lying on it feels like sinking into it, and you can't help but relax.

"Hoo..." Bai Zhi gently exhaled a breath of cold air.

Elisa, who was next to her, grabbed her arm and asked, "Sister Baizhi, it feels good, right?"

Bai Zhi nodded gently and replied, "Yes..."

"Hehehe..." Elisa chuckled softly.

Then he continued chatting with Bai Zhi.

Time passes slowly...

Time flies when you're not exploring.

Forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

That is, exactly midnight.

Although Cao Xing and his group were inside the building, they could still sense that something had changed in the outside world.

It was as if some kind of power had suddenly erupted!
The temperature of the entire ruins suddenly plummeted!
Cao Xing's expression shifted slightly, and he quickly said, "Be careful..."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up.

Although they are currently inside the building, they should theoretically be safe from harm.

But under this eerie fog, no one can say for sure.

Just as they were on guard, the entire ruins underwent some peculiar change.

From within that vast inner city, the fog suddenly swelled up considerably!

Like a surging wave, it swept in, rolling and surging across this desolate land!
And it spread rapidly.

In less than five minutes, the entire perimeter of the ruins was completely enveloped...

The entire inner and outer perimeter of the lost royal city was shrouded in endless mist.

Only a faint light could be seen emanating from the mist, like stars in a dark night sky.

These lights, of course, are the adventurer camps at the entrances of the ruins.

Many others, like them, also hide within the buildings of this ruin.

at this time……

Cao Xing and the others focused their attention and listened intently to the sounds outside.

At that moment, they suddenly heard a dense crawling sound in their ears.

"Rustle...rustle..."

These sounds came from all around the building, and even from overhead.

It was like countless insects crawling around the building.

This feeling was exactly the same as when they encountered the smog disaster.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "It seems that the fog here is indeed related to the smog disaster..."

Thinking of this, his gaze involuntarily fell on Elisa in the crowd.

Back then, this little girl was almost taken away by the creatures in the fog because of the fog disaster.

I wonder if she will be affected in any way here?
However, after observing for a while, it was found that the little girl did not seem to have any special reaction and was still whispering to Bai Zhi.

Besides the sounds of the insects, the group also heard sobbing.

"woo woo woo woo……"

The crying sounded like it was coming from a group of women, carrying a chilling and eerie quality...

Everyone knew that these sounds were coming from the vengeful spirits in the mist.

However, even these vengeful spirits follow the same rules.

That is, they cannot force their way into these buildings; they simply wander in the mist.

After a moment of caution, the sounds gradually faded away and eventually disappeared completely.

Cao Xing said, "Alright, you can relax now. Everyone, go about your business."

Upon hearing this, everyone put down their weapons.

In fact, with their current strength, they don't need to be so careful.

However, adhering to the principle of "better safe than sorry," Cao Xing tried to keep a low profile until he figured out the strength of the creature in the mist.

Of course, if the other party provokes you, just like the creature in the mist tried to take Elisa away.

Then Cao Xing will not hesitate to lead his entire team to attack and meet the guy in the fog!
Moreover, their strength is now vastly different from what it was a few months ago!
Not only does he possess the formidable combat power of a demigod, Cao Xing also wields the [Heart of the God of Corruption]!
This thing is a trump card that can be used to deal with gods.

Of course, this heart can only be used once, so it's best not to use it lightly unless you encounter an invincible enemy.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly took out a piece of legendary giant rhinoceros meat weighing several kilograms from his backpack, and then took out a piece of wild boar meat weighing tens of kilograms.

He acquired a large quantity of legendary rhinoceros meat last time and even traded it on the market.

But these beast meats that can increase attributes haven't been eaten by himself or other members of the territory yet.

"Everyone's having barbecue tonight."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes toward it, a hint of longing appearing in their eyes.

Cao Xing took out two long spears and several iron rods, and made a simple barbecue grill.

After the fire died down, a large amount of coal was added.

Then the legendary giant rhinoceros meat and wild boar meat were skewered and grilled over charcoal.

He then took out a jar of golden honey from his backpack and brushed a layer on it every now and then.

Amber-colored honey dripped onto the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound.

Before long, the rich aroma of meat mixed with the sweetness of honey filled the air, permeating every corner of the hall.

"Sniff...sniff..."

Elisa's nose twitched in the air as she murmured, "It smells so good, I want to eat it!"

She immediately gave up chatting with Bai Zhi and moved closer to Cao Xing, staring intently at the barbecue grill.

Others also turned their attention to it.

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Don't worry, everyone will get a share."

He flipped the skewers to ensure they were heated evenly on all sides. "However, there are two types of meat here, one of which is quite precious and cannot be served as a main dish for you."

"Let's all eat it together with the wild boar meat."

Everyone nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

For them, the aroma of food is already enticing enough!

They didn't care what kind of meat it was.

About ten minutes later, the two pieces of meat, one large and one small, had been roasted to a golden brown, and they looked incredibly appetizing.

Cao Xing took out a short knife and some papers, and began to divide the roasted meat according to everyone's needs.

When the crispy on the outside and tender on the inside meat was distributed to everyone, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.

Then, Cao Xing announced, "Alright, let's start enjoying."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to devour the food with great anticipation.

Elisa held the meat chunks in both hands and wolfed them down, her cheeks soon bulging out.

Brown grabbed the whole piece of roast meat and tore off a large chunk with gusto.

Even the newly joined priestesses, Fainaz and Byr Blackheart, couldn't resist the temptation of the beast meat and began to feast. "By Mother Earth..."

The minotaur chieftain's large, copper-bell-shaped eyes gleamed, and his thick arms, gripping the meat, trembled slightly.

"Kane Burrows has never tasted such delicious roasted meat. It fills the Tauren with power, and every bite feels like drinking the blessing of his ancestors!"

As Byrne Blackheart felt the surging energy within him, he exclaimed in amazement, "This beast meat contains some kind of magical power; it has made me stronger..."

Everyone marveled at the amazing nature of the legendary giant rhinoceros meat!

Cao Xing smiled, then took out a few pieces of raw meat from his backpack and fed them to the eagerly waiting pets, including the demon dragon Bingbing and the mammoth Dabai.

As the delicious food was enjoyed, the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively.

Bloom even started humming a song quietly.

"The ancient dragon deep within the cave begins to awaken—cursed stars dance in its eyes."

"There was a fool carrying a rusty longsword, the hilt wrapped with linen rope braided by his sister."

A deep, resonant voice, accompanied by the melody, filled the hall.

Cao Xinggang wanted to tell Brown to be quiet so as not to attract the attention of the creatures in the mist.

Lord Oran saw through his thoughts and said, "Lord Cao Xing need not worry. The mist in this ruin is somewhat different from the real haze disaster."

"Here, even if we shout and scream, we'll be fine as long as we don't enter the fog."

Cao Xing was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He looked up at Qinong.

The old man nodded slightly, confirming the Lord of Oran's statement.

Upon hearing this, Bloom raised his voice even higher.

He said, "Dragon's blood is only hotter than ale," and pushed open the bronze door, stepping onto the stairs made of skulls...

"A sigh of sulfur echoed from behind the bronze door, and twelve eyes opened amidst a torrent of gold coins."

As he sang, the guy tapped his shield lightly on the ground beneath his feet, creating a simple melody.

At the same time, Bever Blackheart seemed to have heard the old song before and began humming along.

"Foolish mortal, your blade is still covered in breadcrumbs. You might as well kneel down and become my two hundred and third collectible~"

"But suddenly the fool's sword began to sprout, and roses planted by my sister bloomed from the flax rope~"

Bever Blackheart's voice, compared to Bloom's deep and penetrating vocals, is more subdued and magnetic.

Everyone joined in humming along.

"Dragon breath danced a comical dance on the flower petals, and while the bone dragon was astonished, a fool poked its left eye out~"

As the melody rose higher, the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively.

Upon seeing this, Cao Xing smiled.

It must be said that in this desolate wilderness shrouded in mist, hiding in a room with a campfire, eating roasted meat, and humming a song has a unique charm.

So he took out a large barrel of craft rum and dozens of glasses from his backpack.

Cao Xing forcefully pulled out the cork, and immediately a fragrance of wine mixed with vanilla, caramel and oak spread out.

"Come, let's all drink to our hearts' content."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone happily stepped forward and scooped up the wine from the barrel with their cups.

"Cheers everyone!"

After several rounds of drinks and a hearty meal, everyone's faces were flushed with satisfaction.

Someone suggested, "Why don't we tell a story?"

So naturally, the dinner party moved into its second round.

That is, a late-night storytelling session.

It was Bloom who spoke first, telling the story of how he was a captain in his dream.

"I was drifting at sea when I suddenly saw that ghost ship!"

"The sails were tattered like an old woman's foot bindings, and the deck was covered with waving seaweed!"

"..."

"I rushed straight into the captain's cabin. The captain tried to draw his sword, but I punched that ghost captain to the ground!"

Brown pretended to throw a punch, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

After Bloom finished speaking, the Tauren Chieftain began his tale.

"By Mother Earth, Mr. Bloom's adventures are truly wonderful."

"I'll also tell you some ancient legends that have been passed down in the Minotaur tribe..."

A look of reminiscence flickered in Kane Burrows' eyes, and his deep voice seemed to echo from ancient times.

Everyone listened intently once again.

And so, the night passed quickly.

As the campfire turned into a pile of dark red embers, the eerie atmosphere gradually faded away...

At six o'clock in the morning, the system notification sounded.

The mist that enveloped the entire ruins dissipated rapidly like the receding tide, retreating entirely into the inner city.

Cao Xing looked up and saw a faint light through the window above him.

Lord Oran said, "Lord Cao Xing, we can continue our journey now."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, stood up, and stretched.

Then he said, "Gentlemen, pack your things, we're getting ready to go out."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up.

Bloom was the first to jump up and stride toward the two metal doors.

Then push it away forcefully.

"Rumble..."

He quickly pushed open the heavy metal door, revealing a dim light.

To be honest, Cao Xing felt something was off yesterday.

This lost royal city is clearly underground, so how come it has this twilight-like light?

He observed it carefully.

Finally, it was discovered that the light source seemed to originate from some towering building in the center of the lost royal city, like a sun about to go out, providing a faint light source for the entire ruins.

"The light source comes from the city and turns off at night, turning on automatically the next day."

A thought suddenly popped into Cao Xing's mind: "Could it be... that there are still people active inside the inner city?"

"Or is this some kind of ancient device left behind by the Asura civilization, operating automatically?"

This thought made him even more curious, and he couldn't wait to enter the city and explore it.

However, the inner city is still shrouded in mist and is not yet open to the public.

Cao Xing then gave up on the idea.

He withdrew his gaze, turned to the crowd, and said, "Everyone, cheer up! Our task today is to continue exploring the outer city."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Cao Xing mounted the mammoth, Da Bai, and led a group of dozens of people toward the wasteland ahead.

Along the way, they avoided many areas shrouded in fog.

After advancing seven or eight kilometers.

A dark shadow gathered beside Cao Xing like black smoke.

It was the legendary assassin, Sarah.

She said solemnly, "My lord, I just went to investigate ahead and found something unusual."

"Yesterday, many of the locations I marked were already covered by thick fog."

"In many places, which were originally shrouded in thick fog, the fog has dissipated today, revealing their true appearance."

After hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

"Many places were shrouded in thick fog, and new places were revealed."

"This means that the area we can explore each day is entirely determined by the condition of the fog."

He seemed to realize something, "No wonder they say that so far, less than 3% of the entire site has been explored."

"If this fog doesn't dissipate, I'm afraid we really won't be able to explore this ancient site in our lifetime."

"Or perhaps, a powerful individual capable of ignoring this fog could enter, storm into the inner city, and eliminate the source of the fog..."

Thinking of this, his gaze returned to the towering city wall.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing led the group to continue bypassing the thick fog.

After traveling about five or six kilometers.

Bai Zhi suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She pointed to an area on the left and said, "Cao Xing, another building has appeared there."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction she was pointing.

A square-shaped, over twenty-meter-tall black building was faintly visible.

From a distance, it looks like a metal box.

The architectural style of the Asura civilization remains so unique.

Lord Oran exclaimed, "Lord Cao Xing, we are so lucky. We have only traveled such a short distance and we have already discovered another building."
