The man seemed a little excited: "We have been waiting for you... We have been waiting for you to come back!"

"Master Andre said before that you would come back sooner or later, and it turned out to be true!" The old man was so excited that he trembled a little.

It seems that this old man is different from other Silver Moon people.

Is he closer to 'Silver Moon Knight' Andre?

Li Re guessed this after seeing his reaction.

...

After a while, they explored the camp, the carriage stopped, the giant turned off the engine, and the torches standing between the tents swayed in the wind with overlapping flames. The old man who had just walked out of the camp heard the origins of Li Re, Antis and others, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

"If you and Antis-sama are looking for Andre-sama, I'm afraid that's impossible."

"As you heard on the way, the ruins have disappeared now. Moreover, even before the ruins disappeared inexplicably, I went to the place where Lord Andre disappeared several times, but in the end, I ended up with nothing."

The 'old man' walked in front to lead the way for them.

Just as Li Re thought, he was obviously special among this group of elderly people, equivalent to a camp manager.

Antis said nothing.

Li Re looked around and scanned the camp. The old men who had just returned with them had dispersed, and the old witch also followed them to get back the 'car' and 'giant' that he had left here.

In addition to them, there are also some unfamiliar faces in the camp.

but...

“This camp is really full of old people!”

Li Re said so.

"Uh..." The 'old man' in front paused, and helplessness suddenly appeared on his face: "Even if you were not an 'old man' originally, you are old now."

"But actually, when Mr. Li Re came last time, I was just a child—"

Li Re looked at him and blinked: "You are only in your teens or twenties?"

This guy? His face is full of wrinkles and his hair is grey. He is only in his teens or twenties! ?

The 'old man' who didn't understand what 'years old' meant but could sense Li Re's surprise nodded: "In fact, there are young people in this camp, but they live in the dark and explore the ruins from time to time, and they will eventually 'grow old'."

"Darkness will corrode human life. Only the true Silver Moon can resist it."

No wonder.

Li Re had just noticed that the people in the exploration camp were different from those in the Furnace City. The people here did not have all kinds of strange "distortions".

It turns out they haven't changed.

Young people age prematurely and even lose their vitality to the same extent as normal old people. This is their "change"!

Thinking of this, Li Re glanced at Antis beside him.

I found that Antis remained silent and didn't speak.

The further forward you go.

She seemed more and more uneasy.

At this time, the 'young man' who looked like an old man said again: "We are here."

Here we go again.

Passed through the camp and reached the end on the other side.

The 'old man' paused.

Li Re and others also stopped in their tracks. They looked up and saw a desert outside the camp.

Torches stood here, flames flickered, but all that could be seen was a flat surface.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but desolate and barren soil.

"It's really gone..." Antis couldn't help but murmured. Thinking back on everything, she certainly remembered exploring the ruins with her father, 'Silver Moon Knight' Andre, a few months ago. She also remembered the approximate location and appearance of the ruins. She didn't need the 'old man' to tell her, she knew that this was the original location of the ruins.

But now.

Gone.

Really disappeared.

"Yes, it's gone." The 'old man' smiled bitterly beside him: "We can't believe it either, but this is the fact."

"The huge ruins suddenly disappeared without a trace..."

Li Re, who was staring at the desolate scenery in front of him, suddenly frowned and took two steps forward. He recalled what the other old people had just said and thought about what he had seen and heard along the way... He suddenly let out a long breath and then smiled!

"Disappear?"

He whispered so softly.

The 'old man' was stunned.

A glimmer of hope appeared on Antis's face: "Mr. Li Re, have you thought of anything?"

Lu Baixi also looked at Li Re. She pushed her glasses and said nothing. She knew that from the look on Re's face, he must have thought of this!

"What did you think of? I did think of it."

Li Re dropped his hands and turned to look at Antis, then at the old man over there. He whispered, "I just thought of a possibility."

"You all say that the 'relics' suddenly disappeared - but is there a possibility that the relics have never appeared directly in front of you?"

"Never appeared? That's impossible!"

The old man shook his head and said, "I have entered the ruins countless times. The earliest time I entered the ruins was even before the construction of the Furnace City. I followed the Silver Moon Knight to find the original furnace. I will never forget the appearance of the ruins. How could it be fake?"

"I didn't say the ruins were fake. I just said that the ruins that appeared in front of you were fake."

Li Re's expression was calm and his tone was gentle. He seemed to be guessing but seemed extremely sure: "The sudden disappearance of the ruins sounds incredible, but if the ruins were not in front of you from the beginning, then everything makes sense - after all, you said it yourself, you witnessed the disappearance of the ruins with your own eyes, right in front of you - little by little, like a phantom, more like a fantasy!"

"You mean the ruins that have always existed in front of us are all illusions? The real illusion is somewhere else? This place in front of us is just the 'passage' to the real ruins?" The 'old man' understood what Li Re said, and found it incredible: "But if you say so, then since the illusion has always existed, why did it disappear..."

"Because...firewood."

Li Re did not answer immediately, but Antis suddenly spoke in a low voice.

She suddenly raised her eyes, meeting the gaze of Lu Baixi beside her and the gaze of Li Re in front of her. She looked in front of her, thinking and pondering. At this moment, she thought of this: "Everyone who explores the camp has been constantly carrying out the 'firewood' left over from the ancient times from the ruins, and those firewoods were discovered in a burning state - burning will emit light, and light will produce shadows. As the firewood is gradually carried away and the light in the ruins becomes increasingly scarce, the 'shadows' here will gradually become thinner and finally disappear completely."

The 'old man' was stunned.

Li Re clapped his hands and said, "Antis is right. The key lies in the firewood. Before the ruins disappeared, you were still exploring the 'ruins' and carrying the 'firewood'. The last 'firewood' you carried at that time might be a certain limit. When the fire is less than that limit, the 'shadow' will disappear."

"So from the beginning to the end, the real ruins were not in front of you. What you saw was just a false illusion."

"Where are the real ruins? And where do we enter from?"

The 'old man' looked at the vast wasteland in front of him again, and became thoughtful.

"It's very simple."

Li Re raised a finger and said, "If the 'fire' is still there, that is the place you can reach. If the 'fire' is not there, it will be difficult for you to enter."

"That's where you go ahead and can enter--"

"Down here!"

next second.

He had already taken a few steps forward when he suddenly slammed his foot forward again!

Dust and smoke fly.

The ground cracked.

The huge crack spread rapidly, revealing a dark gap - a hollow underground!

"If there is a continuous fire, the soil will become soft and will collapse if you move forward. If there is no fire, the soil will become solid."

"If not, the land here wouldn't be so much flatter than normal land!" Li Re raised his foot and said so.

This is where the real ruins are.

for real--

Way to enter the ruins!

Chapter 385 Moonstone Dragon

The dust gradually dissipated, but the cracks that appeared stretched out and appeared were forever engraved on the earth like scratches on canvas. The torch that was originally standing on the open space was extinguished by the vibration when Li Re stepped forward, but the afterglow of the campfire in the camp behind him still shrouded the world in a hazy light and shadow.

Looking at the cracks in front of him, Antis took a deep breath and looked at Li Re with more gratitude in his eyes.

She could think of the key of 'fire'.

However, she did not expect that the real ruins were underneath - even the reason why she thought that "fire" was the key was because Li Re had shown similar reasoning in front of her.

A long time ago, when she first set foot in this copy world of her hometown.

When Li Re first set foot in the dark world, he was teleported to the campfire by "Paradise".

'Fire' is the key.

So is 'Shadow'.

She kept in mind the "reasoning" that was so wild but always hit the mark.

Compared to Antis's gratitude, Lu Baixi just looked calm and took it for granted. The 'King's Knight' Alina, standing behind Antis, couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at the broken earth. She was surprised at the 'Time Savior's' reasoning, and even more surprised at the power that could shatter the earth at will - if she was not mistaken, this 'Time Savior' just now didn't even make a move to accumulate power, right?

The 'young man' who looked like an old man also shook his wrinkled face as if he had just come to his senses: "Actually... he's really down there?"

"Yes, the real ruins are underground. No wonder no matter how brightly the outside is illuminated, it is always dark inside. No wonder the ruins are right in front of us, but every time we explore them, we have to go through an immersive stealth..."

Because it exists underground, the "light" on the ground cannot shine in.

Because there is a layer of soil softened by fire in the middle, you need to sneak down every time.

The 'old man' understood everything and couldn't help but tremble!

The 'remains' are not gone.

That means - the hope of the 'Explorer Camp' and the 'Silver Moon People' has not disappeared!

"Now that we have found it, let's go into the ruins and take a look."

Li Re turned his head to look at them, and then looked at the excited old man: "Don't go in with us - you are seriously corroded by the darkness. If you go down again, you will probably die."

"I see."

The 'young man' who looked like an old man nodded: "It has been a long time since I have stepped into the ruins in person..."

"But if possible, if Lord Shizuo and His Highness Antis can find Lord Andre, please try to bring him back."

"I, a useless follower, will always guard this camp and wait for your return!"

Li Re nodded and looked at Antis again.

The blonde girl, with her back to the fire in the camp, turned her head to look at the young man facing the broken earth and calmed herself down. She took a deep breath, and her golden hair swayed gently with her footsteps. Her figure, tightly wrapped in a black and white slim-fitting uniform, trembled and shook, and the long boots under her knee-length skirt made crisp sounds as she walked on the ground.

"Thank you, Mr. Lire."

She spoke to Li Re again, and said sincerely: "Next, I will definitely try my best to survive."

"Not only do you have to survive, you also have to change your bad habit of wanting to die with the world. After this, your life is no longer your own - it belongs to the 'Ghost in the Shop'! It belongs to this disgusting guy who can't live without a woman!"

Before Li Re opened his mouth, the clear and crisp voice of Lu Baixi came from behind Antis.

Antis was slightly stunned and looked back, only to see a beautiful girl walking towards him with her cloak fluttering. Her face under the hood and glasses was still beautiful - but it was obvious that she had a sharp look on her face.

"Miss Lu Baixi?"

Antis pursed his lips.

"You are framing me again... It seems that I have to let you know how powerful I am as soon as possible. Next time I won't give you the chance to escape and let 'Bai Xi' take the blame!" Li Re responded to what he said, with a look of indifference on his face.

Knowing what Li Re was referring to, Lu Baixi's expression under her cloak instantly showed a hint of trepidation, but she was still unconvinced: "Awesome? In my opinion, you are just a paper tiger!"

"I hope you can still be so stubborn by then." Li Re raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Okay, stop talking nonsense and go down quickly."

"Find the Silver Moon Knight's trail as soon as possible - that way we can get off work earlier, right?" Li Re said.

Lu Baixi snorted, but didn't continue to be stubborn.

Antis took a deep breath and nodded.
