Chapter 269: Desert ruins, Jingjue Kingdom!

The black-scaled phantom python was caught in the shadow world. The darkness submerged it and it escaped into a world of chaos and nothingness.

The door to the shadow world gradually closed in the Black Scaled Phantom Demonic Python's eyes filled with despair.

In the process of assimilating the Black Scaled Phantom Demonic Python into the shadow world, Zhang Chenran stole the demonic python's memory.

The situation of this demon python is very similar to that of Manzhu, both of them are guarding here under some kind of order.

The difference is that this magic python guards out of a contract-like command, while Manzhu guards under bewitched circumstances.

The python was asleep most of the time, and no key information could be found.

When Zhang Chenran returned to the valley, Manzhu had already slaughtered the entire Black Scale Magic Python tribe!

To be honest, this was the first time Zhang Chenran saw a member of the royal family possess such terrible combat power.

Strictly speaking, the Shadow Clan's high-end combat force used to be only one, the Shadow Clan Elder.

The strongest fighters, Jiuyouhou, are loyal to him with the original contract of Hades, but they are not his shadow race.

Now Manzhu's fighting power is not weaker than Jiuyouhou, and her performance in clan war is even more terrifying!

Shadow-born Bianhua is born with a strong dark bloodline.

The reason why they were chosen as queens was not because of their peerless beauty, but because as "war machines", they were not only good at tribal warfare, but could also significantly increase the combat power of the race!

The unshakable status makes the royal elders respect him!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chenran couldn't help but ask:

"How long will it take for the Shadow Clan Elder to break through?"

"Before it went into seclusion, it told its subordinates that it would take at least half a month. Calculating the time, there are probably still two days left, right?" Queen Jiuyou explained.

"Half a month? So long? It seems like it only took a few hours for Shahua and the Flame Witch to break through to the monarch level." Zhang Chenran was a little puzzled.

"King, I have made contracts with both of them through your Origin Power. The main reason why Shahua and the Flame Witch can level up with you is that their strength and cultivation are all granted by your Origin Power."

Queen Jiuyou paused and continued,

"Both the Undead and the Shadow Clan belong to dark creatures. The nourishment of us dark creatures is the powerful dark aura. This is why I want a king to appear in the empire, no matter who that king is!

Previously, when you were in the high-level stage, the source power you controlled could only be supplied to us who were contracted, and the improvement of your race's strength was not significant!

With your breakthrough to the super-level, the source power you control has almost doubled, and the dark aura you exude can naturally be supplied to your soldiers.

The Shadow Elder has the deepest contact with you and benefits the most, but this cannot be compared with Shahua and the Fire Witch who directly obtain the original power through the contract.

If he wasn't the only elder in the tribe, half a year would be normal, let alone half a month!"

Zhang Chenran thought about it, understood what she meant, and sighed helplessly:

"After all, I am still too weak now. If I could control more of the original power, I am afraid that my race would be able to have a few more elders."

He could feel that the original power he controlled was at about 15 to 20 percent.

The power was too huge, and it would take a long time to absorb all of it, just like the practice of a mage.

It's just that he is a mage with full buffs and almost no bottleneck!

The dimensional system may be an obstacle, but he doesn't have to worry about it as he has the Eye of Time and Space

...

Across the valley, a huge city appeared before our eyes.

However, the city has been completely abandoned. It is more like a huge relic than a city.

Countless broken walls and houses half buried in the desert.

"This should have been a prosperous country in the past, but why doesn't the Magic Association have any records of this ruins?" Jiang Yinyu asked puzzled.

"Then there is only one explanation. The history of this country is definitely longer than that of the Magic Association. The Shazhou Magic Association has been exploring the Taklamakan Desert for so many years and has not discovered this place, but we found it!"

The younger sister standing next to her was a little excited. Jiang Yinyun continued:

"The fact that this country is so large shows that during its most prosperous period, it was an existence that even the overlord of the Taklamakan Desert dared not provoke. No wonder there is a Chaos Realm and even a demon tribe guarding it!"

The ruins before us are large enough to accommodate nearly 100,000 people. You have to know that human magic civilization had not yet been fully developed, and it all depended on tribal totems for protection!

It is impossible for a city of this size to be built with only totems.

Zhang Chenran used the Eye of Time and Space to carefully scan the entire ruins:

"There are no living creatures in the ruins, and there are no valuables."

"Why do you always think about money?" the Fire Witch said unhappily.

"Isn't the purpose of coming out for experience to improve your strength and find valuable treasures? What else can you do?" Zhang Chenran asked back.

The Fire Witch pointed to the left and he looked in confusion.

At this time, Jiang Yinyun was frantically studying the ancient texts engraved on the broken walls. As a member of the Research Committee, she also knew about the restrictions on ancient texts.

"There are countless ruins like this all over the world. The scale of this ruins is very rare in human history. The things left behind must be of great value. These are her original words." said the Fire Witch.

"I am too narrow-minded." Zhang Chenran accepted the criticism and said,

"I do have some understanding of the prohibitions, but as for the ancient texts, eh? They seem to be written two thousand years ago."

Zhang Chenran was halfway through his words when he saw the ancient text on the ruins and felt inexplicably familiar with it.

Of course, he himself knew nothing about the so-called ancient texts, and a normal wizard would not have the mind to study those ancient texts.

But he could understand these words from the memory inherited from the ancient king's soul. Previously, he looked around the ruins from a God's perspective and did not look at the words carefully.

"Two thousand years ago?" The Fire Witch looked at him questioningly with her beautiful elf eyes.

"The characters are a little different, but I can understand the general meaning. This city is called Jingjue City, also known as Jingjue Country. The country is protected by a queen with supreme magical powers. The people living in the country respectfully call her the Queen of Jingjue!"

Zhang Chenran pointed to a collapsed stone pillar in the distance and roughly translated the ancient text engraved on the pillar.

He paused and looked at another stone pillar with ancient texts:

"The Kingdom of Jingjue was originally just a small tribe with only a few thousand people living there, but under the protection of the Queen of Jingjue, the size of the Kingdom of Jingjue gradually expanded.

The monsters in the Taklamakan Desert were even more brutal than they are now. Other tribes also flocked to the Kingdom of Jingjue and sought the protection of the Queen of Jingjue.

Gradually, a small tribe of thousands of people formed a huge country. The two stone pillars only record this far."
