Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

The vengeful spirits that rushed towards the natural barrier crashed into it like moths hitting a lampshade, eventually turning to ashes one by one.

"Sister Min, don't kill it! Ghost Crystal, Ghost Crystal, please take it back!"

Seeing that Chen Min was having so much fun wielding the throwing knives that she forgot to pick up her loot, Lin Feng quickly reminded her.

"Don't worry, not a single one will be missing, you little money-grubber."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and one after another, strange crystals flew into her palm, which she casually tossed into the box behind her.

The level 4 vengeful spirits that followed attempted to form an array and charge, but they were facing a giant tortoise. A yellowish-brown light emanated from Xiao Xuan's feet, and he didn't stop. Their formation resembled a swarm of ants trying to block a heavily armored tank. The moment his feet touched the ground, it was as if the sky collapsed, and the entire eerie squad exploded into specks of light.

The advance proceeded steadily, with the Awakened cooperating with each other, while the armored vehicles behind them spread out in formation. Each vehicle was equipped with a crossbow, which, together with the large crossbows on the train, fired simultaneously. A dense barrage of crossbow bolts covered the battlefield.

"Change the arrows!" The person on the roof leaned into the vehicle and shouted from below, "Are there any more crossbow bolts?! Where are the talismans? Did you stick them on?"

"Yes, just put them on." The person inside the car held up a series of crossbow bolts and handed them to the person above.

Golden Eyes hovered hundreds of meters in the air, sweeping away any dense swarms of eerie creatures with its wind blade storms. Even when encountering level 4 vengeful spirits, it only took a few sword feathers to deal with them.

Lin Feng was just coasting the whole time, while Xiao Hei squatted motionless at his feet, occasionally wagging its tail, and streams of black energy flowed from the slain monster into its mouth.

This little guy is up to no good; he's sneaking around having a big meal.

The panel kept displaying prompts, and the orderly advancing formation showed that not a single vehicle had fallen behind.

"That's more like a motorcade! What were we driving before?"

After advancing about 10 kilometers, the number of vengeful spirits gradually decreased until they disappeared completely, and a wide plaza appeared ahead.

At the far end of the square, the dilapidated altar stood quietly in the very center.

The dense, blood-red runes on the ground around the altar had faded to almost invisible. The altar was even more dilapidated than when Wang Lie last visited. Originally, there were three pillars, but now only one remained standing, while the other two leaned against the base. Several cracks had also appeared in the base of the altar.

Several different kinds of footprints were scattered on the ground. Some of the footprints were obviously larger than a person. The most obvious one was in the center of the altar, where several cracks ran through it and extended outwards, clearly the result of brute force.

"The altar has been disturbed." Old Chen quickly arrived at the altar, his face changing instantly. "Someone came after we left."

"And they disturbed the core structure of the altar."

Wang Lie's face darkened: "What? Is that altar still usable?"

Old Chen shook his head at the crowd that had gathered around him: "The core of the altar has been destroyed. If we try to open it now, not only will we not be able to obtain a profession, but we will also be doomed."

A low sigh rose from the crowd. Fu Kui, who had been cowering at the back, his legs trembling with fear and who knew where he was hiding, seemed relieved upon hearing this. He muttered softly, "Oh well, forget it then. My life is more important..."

"Who did this?!" a burly man shouted. "If I catch him, I'll shove his head up his ass..."

"Sigh... what a wasted trip..."

"Yeah, so many brothers were waiting on the road, only to find nothing there."

Someone squatted on the ground, rummaging around, and said stubbornly, "What are you afraid of! If we can find the first one, we can find the second one. Everyone, look around and see if there are any clues we missed. When I used to play games, these kinds of places usually had treasure chests or something. What if there's some treasure?"

These words reminded everyone, and the seven or eight young people immediately dispersed and began searching around the square.

"Hey, this pillar seems pretty sturdy!" A big man walked up to a fallen pillar, rubbed his hands together, bent down, and hugged the pillar to test it.

"Um--"

His face flushed red, veins bulging, but the pillar remained motionless, as if rooted to the ground.

"Damn it, it's so heavy!" he yelled, letting go of the pillar and panting heavily. "With my awakened power talent, I could carry even a roll of steel. What kind of broken pillar is this?"

Lin Feng jumped off the tortoise's back and strolled to the altar. He ignored the people who continued searching and instead carefully scanned the pillars and the altar.

[Ancient Human Black Iron Altar: This altar could forge the foundation of human bloodlines, allowing mortals to advance to the Black Iron level and acquire professions. Current status: Completely destroyed, no longer functional.]

[Note: This thing actually still exists in this world! Although it's just the lowest-level black iron altar among the ancient humans, it's still incredibly terrifying. But don't you have the Tree of Life? Take it back and reforge it! These three black iron pillars of life are enough for you to build a small altar. Friendly reminder... this thing is a bit heavy, be careful not to strain your back.]

Lin Feng forced a smile down his face as he walked up to Wang Lie and the others.

"Since this altar is ruined, I'll take these materials with me."

Wang Lie was squatting by the altar studying the rune markings when he heard this. He looked up at Lin Feng and asked, "Take him away? What for?"

Lin Feng shrugged: "I see so much metal material here, it's a waste to leave it here. Can't I take it back to make food for Xiao Xuan?"

Guo Yi nudged Wang Lie with his elbow: "You believe him? This kid won't do anything without a reason; there must be some benefit we don't know about."

Wang Lie stared at Lin Feng for a while, but ultimately didn't press the matter: "Whatever you want, we can't move it anyway, so if you can take it away, then take it away."

Lin Feng nodded and turned to walk towards the pillar that had fallen beside the altar.

As you get closer, the details become clearer, with various totems and runes engraved on it, and the surface gleaming with the unique luster of black iron.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and gripped both sides of the pillar with his hands.

"rise--"

Lin Feng's muscles tensed instantly, his bones cracked, his spiritual energy surged wildly, and the power of the earth was mobilized. The black iron pillar emitted a dull groan as it slowly rose from the ground, inch by inch, until it was hoisted onto his shoulder.

"My God..." Lin Feng mentally complained, "This black iron pillar is so heavy... I'm afraid no one but me can lift it... No wonder the people who destroyed the altar couldn't take it away. Who can carry something weighing one or two hundred tons?"

With the help of the earth's power, he slowly moved to the edge of Xiaoxuan. When he put down the pillar, it landed with a loud thud, making the ears of those around him ring.
