Chapter 63: Living People in the Ruins
"God of Light..."

Yu Zhun nodded, "That makes sense."

"Dragon slaves are afraid of light, and the God of Light represents light. If there are still living residents, the location of the God of Light is likely to be a place that dragon slaves dare not approach."

"And the God of Light itself is a belief. For the residents here, the current situation must be hopeless. There is nothing wrong with them trying to gain psychological comfort through faith."

As he spoke, Yu Zhun picked up a stone and drew a circle on the ground to represent the [City of Ruins], and then marked their location and the approximate location where they encountered the dragon slaves along the way.

“Is it clearer this way?”

"The distribution of dragon slaves is a bit like a crescent moon." Ji Xiaoyu pointed to the unmarked blank area, "It should be here."

"This position can be said to be completely opposite to the entrance of the tunnel." Brigadier General Yu connected the center of the blank space with the entrance of the tunnel, just dividing the entire [City of Ruins] into two.

“It all makes sense.”

Throwing down the stone, Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu went straight to the direction corresponding to the blank area, which was a ruin they had never reached before.

Going deeper into the ruins, the two saw something like an altar. In the center of the altar was a human-shaped statue, but it had been smashed.

"It should be here." Ji Xiaoyu said softly, "The altar is related to faith. That statue may be the statue of the God of Light. It's a pity that it has been broken."

"But there seems to be no living people around here." Ji Xiaoyu looked around with a puzzled look.

"It's not that simple." Yu Zhun shook his head. "If it was so easy to find the residents hiding here, they wouldn't have survived for so long under the hunting of the dragon slaves, and other players wouldn't have been able to find them either."

Even if they didn't notice anything unusual about the inscription, there would definitely be players who would search the [City of Ruins] carefully in order to find clues.

The God of Light...

Yu Zhun thought for a moment, then walked up to the altar step by step.

In front of the statue, there is a stone slab on which is engraved a complete set of sacrificial ritual procedures.

Such stone slabs are not uncommon, but at this moment Yu Zhun suddenly had an interesting idea.

What would happen if he bowed to the God of Light?
Yu Zhun did it as soon as he thought of it. He watched the process of the salute, walked around the sculpture, and performed different movements in six different directions.

The moment Yu Zhun walked back to his original position, a glimmer of light appeared on the already broken sculpture, as if responding to Yu Zhun's salute, but because the sculpture was already broken, the glimmer of light quickly dissipated.

Before Yu Zhun had time to be amazed that his salute actually got a response, his ears suddenly moved and he looked sharply in a certain direction.

"Who?"

A petite figure flashed among the rocks of the ruins and quickly disappeared.

The creature was obviously much smaller than Long Nu, which made Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu look delighted at the same time.

There are really people!

"Chase!"

Yu Zhun lowered his voice and did not bother to wait for Ji Xiaoyu. He activated [Speed ​​Step] and increased his speed to maximum. He rushed out like a gust of wind and arrived at the place where the figure had appeared just now in a flash.

The field was quiet. Yu Zhun looked around but could not find any trace of anyone.

But he was very sure that the sound he had just heard vaguely and the figure he had just seen briefly were not illusions.

Ji Xiaoyu arrived a step later, looked around and thought for a while, then suddenly took out a piece of fragrant cake from his backpack.

Yu Zhun: “?”

"This is a special food made by the chef profession. It can be put in the backpack." Ji Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "I put some in the backpack. I originally planned to eat it as a snack."

In real life, you may be afraid of getting fat, but in God’s world, you don’t have to be afraid.

"I think, if there are really living people here, they must be short of food..."

Before Ji Xiaoyu finished speaking, they both heard the sound of swallowing saliva. Yu Zhun's eyes changed immediately when he looked at Ji Xiaoyu.

Rich woman, it has to be you!

They both looked in the direction where the sound came from.

A head timidly popped out from behind the rocks, and a pair of eyes stared at the cake in the rich woman's hand with vigilance and desire.

"It's up to you." Yu Zhun gave the rich woman an encouraging look.

After what happened just now, he dared not act rashly.

"Yes!" Ji Xiaoyu nodded heavily, then smiled sweetly at the other party and raised the cake to him, "Here you go!"

Seeing that the other party still didn't dare to come out, Ji Xiaoyu thought for a while, gently put the cake on the ground, and then pulled Yu Zhun back.

When the two of them retreated a distance, the other person seemed to feel a little safe and walked out from behind the stone carefully.

She was a skinny little girl, no more than eleven or twelve years old, with hair as yellow and dull as dead grass.

After walking a few steps, seeing that Ji Xiaoyu and Yu Zhun did not come forward, the little girl pounced on the cake, dipped a little with her dirty fingers and put it into her mouth, her eyes lit up in an instant.

She put away the remaining cake as if it were a treasure, and the look she gave the two of them was no longer as wary as before.

"You..." the little girl stammered, "Are you from outside the city?"

Outer city?

Yu Zhun's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Yes, we are from other cities. We heard about what happened here, so we wanted to come and take a look."

"We are all believers of the God of Light. When we encounter difficulties, we should naturally help each other." Yu Zhun said, making a believer's gesture.

Well, I learned it on the slate.

Ji Xiaoyu on the side twitched her lips and secretly gave Yu Zhun a thumbs up.

You still can fool people, President!

"God of Light..." The little girl's eyes gradually brightened. Seeing the statue of the God of Light respond with her own eyes, she believed Yu Zhun's words without a doubt. She was no longer on guard, but took the initiative to step forward and pull Yu Zhun.

"Follow me...."

Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu's eyes lit up at the same time.

Become!

The little girl held the cake and led the two of them through many turns in the ruins, and finally arrived at an inconspicuous ruin.

Putting the cake aside temporarily, the little girl used her thin body to push open a stone slab, revealing a narrow entrance underneath the stone slab.

"Everyone... is here."

She picked up the cake again and motioned for the two to follow.

Yu Zhun nodded to Ji Xiaoyu.

A little girl would definitely not survive in a place like this, so he had already thought that there must be more than one living person here.

This little girl should not be the key person.

But who they are about to meet next could be crucial.

The two of them followed closely and approached the entrance. Ji Xiaoyu, who was walking at the back, did not forget to move the stone slab to restore it and cover the entrance again.

The little girl saw this scene and her eyes flickered slightly.
