After resting in the camp for a night, Gao Muming moved forward along the valley, dealing with several waves of wandering hill people along the way.

Looking at the broken walls not far away, Gao Mu knew that he was not far from the ruins of Fenglong.

Gao Muming frowned and stared at the road and ruined buildings ahead. There were potholes everywhere, as if they had been severely damaged.

Takagi Akira took a closer look and frowned.

"Looking at the signs of damage, some of them look like they were caused by a bomb."

"I heard that a few years ago, Alice, a well-known adventurer in the Adventurer's Association, wreaked havoc at the Wind Dragon Ruins, turning them into ruins. Are these traces of destruction her work?"

"No, that's not right."

Gao Muming carefully observed the traces and shook his head to overturn his own guess.

"Looking at these explosion marks, it looks like they are quite old. It doesn't match the time I knew Alice blew up the Wind Dragon Ruins."

"Besides Alice, the only person I can think of who could have caused such traces of destruction is the Ruins Guardian."

"But if it was the Ruins Guard, the damage caused would be a bit excessive. As far as I know, the bomb power of the Ruins Guard is not enough to cause this kind of damage."

Gao Muming looked forward and found that the damage was concentrated in a short distance.

"These signs of destruction seem to exist only within a certain range. Could it be that the ruins guards wandering around here really fought with the adventurers and caused this scene? But aren't there too many signs of destruction?"

"I'm here to hunt for treasure, not to restore history. No matter what caused it, these very old traces show one thing, that is, they will not pose a threat to my personal safety. If you can't figure it out, just ignore it for now."

After making up his mind, Gao Muming no longer paid attention to the damaged traces and continued to move towards the ruins of the Wind Dragon.

After a while, Gao Muming arrived at the entrance of the Wind Dragon ruins.

Looking at the ancient building built in the hollowed-out rock wall in front of him, Gao Muming walked over quickly.

Through the broken wall, Gao Muming saw the giant tower that was still surrounded by the barrier formed by the storm, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Even though it has been more than 2600 years since the death of the sovereign Diocletian, is this tower still surrounded by a wall of storms?"

"Is this the last great power of the deceased King Diocletian? Or is this a barrier that Barbatos set up to show respect to the deceased king and prevent future generations from trespassing into the tower?"

"Although as a human, I cannot truly understand the power of the demon god, but I believe that Diekarapian, who gave all his power to Barbatos, would never be able to maintain the storm barrier for 2600 years."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming suddenly became interested. He put one hand in his pocket and crossed the other hand in front of his face, pointing his index finger forward.

"there is only one truth."

Takagi Akira, who had just finished cosplaying Conan, suddenly reacted.

"Wait, if it is true as I guessed, that the Wind God has been using his own power to maintain this storm barrier, then doesn't that mean he doesn't want anyone to enter the interior of the tower?"

As he said this, Gao Muming swallowed his saliva.

"Is it really okay for me to run into the tower and search for treasure?"

Looking at the tower that was so close and the treasures within reach, Gao Muming became a little hesitant.

"How about I just run away?"

"No, now that I'm here, I can't bear to leave like this."

"But, if what I guessed is true, then wouldn't I be dancing madly on the edge of death by doing this? Besides, I have a lot of royalties and I'm not short of money, so there's no need to do this to get myself killed."

"Going into a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed is somewhat inconsistent with the identity of our treasure-stealing group. Besides, I am worried about the lack of new writing materials for the latest volume of the novel. Bravely entering the ruins of the wind dragon is a good subject."

Gao Muming paced back and forth on the spot, struggling with his thoughts.

Finally, Takagi Akira stared at the tall tower in the distance with bloodshot eyes and clenched his fists.

"Just pretend you don't know and do it! The Wind God will definitely be able to sense when I'm exploring the Wind Dragon Ruins. As long as the Wind God doesn't come out to stop me, I'll just assume he approves."

"When the Wind God comes out to stop me, I will obey his advice and leave obediently. Since I didn't know about it beforehand and I helped him, he shouldn't make it too difficult for me."

"I'm looking for an opportunity to give Wendy a few bottles of good wine. Maybe I can get over this."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming felt more confident and slowly approached the main gate of the tower with heavy steps.

As Takagi Akira walked slowly along the bridge leading to the tower, a roar was heard below, followed by the sound of breaking wind.

Gao Muming looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw a ruins guard slowly standing up and six flaming missiles rushing towards him.

Seeing this scene, Gao Muming's pupils shrank suddenly.

"I was so lost in thought that I forgot that the Wind Dragon Ruins are not safe."

Gao Muming took out a novice spear and thrust it into the ground, then pulled the spear shaft backwards and used the force to leap forward a long distance to avoid six missiles.

At the moment the missile exploded, Takagi Akira squatted down in the smoke and dust raised by the explosion, making himself disappear from the sight of the ruins guards.

The ruins guard who had lost his target wandered around for a while, then slowly turned around and prepared to leave.

Estimating the time it would take for the Ruins Guard to resume cruising mode after losing its target, Gao Muming felt that the time was almost up, suddenly stood up, picked up the novice spear, and threw it at the Ruins Guard with all his strength.

The novice's spear attached with ice elements, with the help of Gao Muming's greatly enhanced power, directly shattered the power core of the ruins guard.

Looking at the ruins guard that was destroyed by his one strike, Gao Muming was very satisfied with his results.

“Easy to do.”

Gao Muming brushed the dust off his body, stood up and looked around to see if there was any other danger within his field of vision. Then Gao Muming sighed.

"I should be thankful that the attack was made by the noisy ruins guards. If those silent monsters had taken the opportunity to attack me, I would be in big trouble."

Then Gao Muming began to reflect on his recent condition.

"I found myself drifting a lot recently. I was distracted in such a dangerous environment without first confirming whether it was safe or not. Is it because my strength has become much stronger, or because I am the only one left now and there is no extra pressure?"

Thinking of this, Gao Muming's eyes dimmed.

"I suddenly miss the time when Lao Wan and the others followed me. No matter what I did at that time, I would always pay attention to whether there was any danger around me."

Gao Muming shook his head to cheer himself up.

"You can't always dwell on the past, you have to look forward."

After calming himself down, Takagi Akira continued moving towards the tower.

Soon they arrived at the main gate of the tower. Looking at the gate that was blocked tightly by the storm, Gao Muming couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Gao Muming tentatively approached the storm barrier. As he got closer and closer to the barrier, the color of the barrier gradually darkened. After getting close to a certain distance, the sound of the storm, which was originally inaudible, filled Gao Muming's ears.

Although he had never personally experienced the power of the storm barrier, just from this sound, Gao Mu clearly understood that with his current means, there was no possibility of a breakthrough.

Gao Muming stepped back a few steps away from the barrier, picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and threw it gently at the storm barrier. The moment it touched the storm barrier, the gravel was smashed into pieces in front of Gao Muming by the violent wind element.

"It's really tightly blocked. Unlike in the game, this power basically injures anyone who touches it."

Gao Muming's gaze turned to the winding path beside the gate.

"Let me think about it. According to Ying's description, if we follow the path outside the tower, there should be a wind farm nearby that we can use."

After walking a few steps, Gao Muming was blocked by several hillbillies.

The moment he saw the Hilichurl, Takagi Akira became alert.

"The Hillbillies usually move around in places with low element concentrations. Just looking at the storm barrier a few steps away, we know that the concentration of wind elements here is not low. The Hillbillies didn't leave, which is very strange."

Gao Muming flashed closer and kicked the hillbillies onto the storm barrier with a few quick kicks, hoping to take the opportunity to test the specific power of the storm barrier.

The result surprised Gao Muming a little. He thought the Hilichurls would be torn to pieces by the storm, but they were just bounced away by the storm barrier just like in the game.

"What is this? Is this a manifestation of God's love for the world? Not killing, just bouncing away, which means that this storm barrier really serves to prevent future generations from entering the tower? I feel more and more that this storm barrier is the work of the God of Wind."

Summoning a spear, Gao Muming sent away the hillbillies blocking his way with a few consecutive thrusts, and continued to walk up the road.

Following the route that Ying had described in his memory, Gao Muming arrived at the Seven Heavenly Statue at the Wind Dragon Ruins very easily and smoothly.

"Just like Ying said, the road leading to the tower is completely cut off here."

Looking at the wind field in front of him, Gao Muming, who had originally planned to use the wind field to fly in directly, paused, turned back to the side of the Seven Days Statue, took out a bottle of wine from the space he carried with him, placed the wine next to the statue, and bowed to the Seven Days Statue behind him.

After a moment, Gao Muming quietly opened his eyes and found that there was no change in the wind field. Immediately, a smile appeared on his face.

"Very good, the old man Fengshen didn't say anything to stop me, so we can get started."

After saying that, Takagi Akira walked quickly into the wind field, spread his wings of wind, followed the wind field upwards, easily passed through the storm barrier and arrived at the top of the tower.

After landing easily, Gao Muming nodded.

"Very good, I have finally reached the outermost part of the tower."

Then Gao Muming looked towards the depths of the Fenglong ruins. After a great battle, all he could see were broken walls and ruins. Looking at the ruins in the depths of the Fenglong ruins that had collapsed so much that no trace of their former outlines could be seen, Gao Muming's face was filled with disappointment.

"The situation is worse than I thought. The building has become like this. The things inside are probably completely hopeless. Even if there are some that have been preserved by chance, I won't be able to find them in this ruin for a while."

"Come to think of it, I'm still confused. According to Ying's description, Ying and the others didn't suffer any injuries when they fought with Tevarin. I thought it was the result of Wendy's secret blessing."

"Now I know. It turns out that when Tevarin was fighting, he was completely outnumbered. All his output was directed at the surrounding buildings. This is a demolition level that even the demolition team would have to admire."

After searching the platform he was on, the disappointment on Gao Muming's face became more and more obvious.

"After working so hard for so long, I only found a few broken fragments. This is a loss."

As he spoke, Gao Muming looked towards the upward passage on the side without giving up.

"Let's go up there and have a look. Even with the hurricanes caused by Tevarin going in and out every day, I don't think there's anything left up there. But I won't be satisfied unless I really search it once."

"Just as I thought, there is nothing..."

Before Takagi Akira could finish his words, his eyes fell on the abandoned ruins guard nearby.

"Ruins Guard? How did it get here?"

With doubts, Gao Muming took a few steps closer, observed the ruins guard closely, and began to carefully observe the scars of varying sizes on the ruins guard's body.

"This thing can't use the wind field to fly here. Could it be that it squeezed through the storm barrier to get here? But the scars on its body don't seem to be caused by the claws of a huge beast."

Takagi Akira crossed his arms over his chest and thought.

"Wait, maybe I'm wrong. According to Ying, they were able to enter the depths of the ruins by unlocking the seal of the extrusion light guide mechanism."

"The storm barrier that bounces people away has limited protective effect. It is only used to block people's sight and hide the light of the four layers of protective rings around the tower, so as to close the road leading to the depths of this ruin."

"In the past, there was not just one road leading to the outer perimeter of the tower. There were more convenient and safer roads. The reason why it has become like this now is entirely because of Alice's masterpiece."

No longer paying attention to the ruins guards, Gao Muming searched the place where he was carefully, but still found nothing.

After searching around, Gao Muming came to the ruins guard again, stood there and looked down.

"It's surrounded by residential areas. When they evacuated, they probably took away everything they could. After more than 2000 years of archaeological excavations, there's probably not much left."

"Who would have thought that the tower, which was the last hope, would also be severely damaged by the raging wind dragon? My trip here was in vain."

"I'm so depressed. The only thing in the entire tower that can be considered intact is this relic guard."

As he said this, Gao Muming kicked the ruins guard.

"I can't just dismantle this thing and sell it as scrap metal, right? Besides, it's so big that the space in my Heart of God won't be able to hold it."

Gao Muming once again observed the ruins guards.

"Wait, there are no scars near the core of this relic guard."

"That is to say, the energy core in this Relic Guardian is most likely just running out of energy, and it has not self-destructed."

Gao Muming's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at the ruins guard as if he was looking at treasure.

"That means that as long as its core is recharged, it might still be usable. What a coincidence! I happen to want to drive a mecha, but those automatic mechas in Teyvat are not very friendly to humans."

"I also thought about ordering a mecha from Feng, but I got a reply: the mecha uses Fengdan's unique law compensation mixed energy and cannot be used in other regions."

"I have tried to dismantle the core of the Ruins Guard, but every time I damaged it, the core would self-destruct, causing my hopes to never come true. Now that I have this core, maybe I can realize my dream of driving a mecha."

Gao Muming began to observe the Ruins Guard carefully, trying to take the core out intact without destroying the Ruins Guard and triggering the core's self-destruction.
