This feeling was very similar to the feeling he had when the dancer appeared before.

It wasn't some kind of curiosity or voyeurism, but an attraction that came from the instinct of the soul.

At that moment, He Ao was walking towards that tower.

He found virtually no useful information in the ruins of the city.

Hundreds of years can erase most of the traces left by humans, and even exposed bones will decay, leaving only these empty cement shells hidden under giant trees and green grass.

He tried to grab a few robots to see if they could communicate or provide some information, but the robots all seemed to be malfunctioning and were just repeating the same things over and over.

A sweeping robot wanders aimlessly along the road, while a housekeeping robot picks grass and puts it into a steel basket before continuing its journey.

These intelligent robots are like the persistent spirits of the deceased, constantly repeating the things they did in life.

Most of the things inside those buildings had rotted away, leaving only bare shells.

Therefore, if He Ao wants to investigate the specifics of this ruin and its relationship with the first area of ​​the dungeon world, he can only go to some key buildings to see if there are any clues.

For example, the towering tower that attracted him.

According to previous investigations by the research institute, the ruins themselves are a dwarf planet with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers and an area of ​​about 3 million square kilometers. Moreover, all regions are similar, located in the same cultural sphere, and use the same script.

However, the research institute also failed to decipher the inscriptions in the ruins, so it was not included in the reference materials.

He Ao did not believe that the ruins were the first district recorded in the dungeon world, because according to the information in the dungeon world, the first district and the second district (which is the territory now under the jurisdiction of the Federation) were on the same planet, separated only by a vast ocean.

Furthermore, the data shows that the area of ​​District 1 is much larger than that of District 2, while the jurisdiction of District 2 (now the Federation) is...

The region has exceeded three million square kilometers from the very beginning.

Of course, the units of measurement in the main world and the dungeon world may differ, but based on the height-to-length ratio of the two worlds, the difference should not be significant.

Unless there is a huge difference in height between the people in the main world and the dungeon world, like the difference between giants and dwarfs, judging from Heo's observation of the buildings inside the ruins, the people in the ruins should be about the same size as those in the main world.

Since the ruins are related to the dungeon world, it can be roughly inferred that the human figures in the dungeon world should be similar to those in the main world.

In conclusion, He Ao believes that the ruins are related to the first area of ​​the dungeon world, but they are not the first area. Moreover, the ruins are mostly not located on the planets of the dungeon world, and may not even be in the same universe as the planets of the dungeon world.

After all, the flow of time is different.

The specific connection between the ruins and the instance world requires further investigation.

He looked up and took a deep breath.

In fact, when he saw the four characters 'Shanglin Middle Street' on the metal sign, he felt like he had broken through the fourth dimension.

It's like a game you've been playing suddenly appearing in the real world.

Although He Ao had roughly deduced from the talent sequence that there was some connection between the dungeon world and the main world, he was still a little shocked when this connection suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Judging from the high concentration of extraordinary power within the ruins, the extraordinary power of the main world may very well have originated from these ruins.

He Ao opened the attribute panel. His physical attributes were slowly increasing. He had only been in the ruins for two hours, and his physical attributes had already increased to 187, a full 4 points.

For those two hours, he simply breathed and channeled the energy from his breath to strengthen his body.

Of course, this speed cannot compare to the speed when Rigit first started cultivating, but Rigit's explosive growth was caused by a body that had been starved for a long time suddenly being filled with energy, while Heo was cultivating normally.

Furthermore, the higher one's physical fitness level, the more difficult it is to improve.

One hour and two o'clock, that speed can almost be called divine speed.

However, this speed can only be maintained for a short time. As physical fitness continues to improve, the improvement will definitely slow down.

Moreover, nourishing the five internal organs cannot rely solely on the 'weather' obtained through breathing; it must also be combined with the 'earth energy' obtained through diet to synthesize the five elements' energy.

Only after nourishing his five internal organs and gathering all the newly absorbed power together can he 'refine essence into qi' and continue to increase the amount of 'innate qi' in his dantian.

As for the source of the earth's energy...

A loud noise caught He Ao's attention. He looked up and saw a huge 'lizard' slowly walking forward not far in front of him.

He Ao flashed into the building next door, carrying the armor-piercing ammunition box, and quickly climbed up the broken staircase to the sixth or seventh floor.

Then he peered out of the broken window and looked at the giant lizard in the distance.

The lizard didn't notice Heo; its eyes were fixed on what was ahead.

Where its gaze fell, there was a verdant fruit tree, with layers of red, apple-like fruits hanging on it, looking very tempting.

A small squirrel-like creature seemed to be lured by the fruit and quickly climbed up the fruit tree.

Just as it reached out to pick the fruit, the branch beneath its feet suddenly bent and wrapped around it. Almost instantly, the hard branch dug into the squirrel's flesh, and bright red blood gushed out, soaking into the dark brown bark and seeping into the tree trunk.

As the fruit tree greedily enjoyed its bloody meal, a lizard nearby opened its mouth.

A bright red tongue shot out like a sharp sword.

The tongue pierced through the tree canopy, which was momentarily unprepared due to its predation, and wrapped around the entire tree trunk, along with its abundant fruit.

Then the lizard raised its head and suddenly pulled it back.

The entire fruit tree was uprooted and quickly flew into the lizard's mouth.

The lizard carried the fruit tree in its mouth, letting the tender fruit flow into its mouth, and it enjoyed the delicious taste.

With a soft sound, something engulfed in flames roared in from afar.

Boom——

Before the lizard could react, the object pierced through its skin with a loud explosion.

In an instant, half of the lizard's body was blown apart, exposing its bloody internal organs. It struggled to its feet, trying to turn around and see who had been so unethical in ambushing it from behind.

But before it could make a move, another armor-piercing round flew in, pierced its body, and exploded with a bang.

This time, it no longer had the strength to turn back; in fact, its body was no longer intact.

He Ao carried the armor-piercing shell box, strapped the cannon barrel on his shoulder to the side of the box, and jumped through the window to the roof of a shorter building next to him.

Part of the building has sunk into the ground and is tilting downwards.

He Ao ran a few steps forward, descended along the sloping rooftop, walked to the bottom, and then jumped onto the roof of a rusty bus. He used the roof to cushion his fall briefly before jumping to the ground.

He quickly eliminated the height of the sixth or seventh floor.

He walked over to the monitor lizard, looked at the shattered limbs scattered everywhere, and shook his head.

The rocket launcher was too powerful; not even a single ingredient could be preserved intact.

He found a relatively intact lizard thigh, pulled out his dagger, and cut off a large piece of meat from the thigh that looked evenly marbled.

The research institute said that the animals in the ruins are not edible due to the risk of contamination.

Therefore, He Ao was quite cautious and chose a prey that looked familiar.

After all, in Dawn City, the beast kept by the mayor was a giant lizard, which was at least a D-level creature. He Aosheng had drunk the lizard's blood and felt that the pollution was still within an acceptable range.

So this time he also found a large lizard, intending to start with the weaker ones and see how it goes.

The fruit tree that had been uprooted by the lizard was already dead. Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Heo picked up the tree and broke it into several pieces.

Then I went to the city and found some hay.

As we all know, firewood is very important for barbecue. Roast duck grilled over fruitwood charcoal tastes different from roast duck grilled over ordinary charcoal.

However, the fruit tree just died, so the firewood is damp and not easy to start. I don't know how effective it will be.

He Ao went to find more dry grass, collected some firewood and twigs from all around, found a sheltered spot by the wall, and built a barbecue grill using fruit tree branches.

Then he set up the firewood and fruit trees, took out a lighter and started a fire. This lighter was a windproof lighter issued by the research institute, used to provide explorers with warmth and to ward off wild animals in the dark.

When starting a fire with wood, pay attention to ventilation. Flames require a lot of oxygen to burn, and if the oxygen is cut off, it will be difficult to start a fire. Therefore, you cannot just pile up firewood haphazardly.

Method of stacking firewood

There are many ways to do this. He Ao likes to stack the firewood in a grid pattern, then put the tinder and small branches at the bottom. With the flame rising from the bottom and good ventilation, it is easy to start a fire.

However, this arrangement results in a large flame, and the firewood burns out quickly. Therefore, once the flames are lit, you can pile some firewood next to the vents to cover the fire and extend the burning time.

Once the fire was slowly lit, He Ao tied the lizard meat to a tree branch, placed it on the grill, and began to slowly roast it.

Barbecue is a skill that requires care; if you're not careful, one side will burn while the other remains uncooked.

While grilling the meat, He Ao took out the barbecue seasoning that Liu Nan had given him from his backpack. Liu Nan had also thoughtfully asked the staff to prepare a small brush.

The meat sizzled on the grill, glistening fat seeped out and dripped into the flames, emitting wisps of smoke.

He Ao used a dagger to make small cuts in the meat, then used a small brush to evenly apply seasonings, allowing the spices to soak into the meat.

With a series of popping sounds from the oil, a rich aroma gradually spread out.

He Ao chose this spot because it was in a corner, not facing the wind, and the air circulation wasn't very good, so the fragrance didn't travel very far. The blazing flames drove away some of the wild beasts in the vicinity, preventing them from getting close.

In fact, the vast majority of animals eat raw food or plants, and only a minority of animals eat cooked food like humans.

After adding the seasoning two or three times, He Ao estimated that the meat was almost cooked. Then he stood up and leaped out, rushing more than ten meters away. He grabbed a squirrel that was stealing fruit by the neck, lifted it up, and walked back to the barbecue grill.

The little squirrel, holding a red berry, stared blankly at He Ao, wondering why it had been caught while it was happily eating the berry. It struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free.

He Ao took out a knife, cut off a small piece from the roasted meat, and handed it to the little squirrel's mouth.

The little squirrel stared blankly at He Ao for a moment, then turned its head away, refusing the piece of roast meat.

?

He Ao grabbed its head, pried open its mouth, and forcibly stuffed the piece of meat inside.

The little squirrel gulped down the piece of meat.

Squirrels can eat meat, but they don't eat meat most of the time.

The moment it swallowed the piece of meat, the little squirrel's eyes widened, its body stiffened, and then it remained motionless.

poisonous?

He Ao was taken aback.

He let go of the squirrel's body and prepared to place it on the ground.
