Chapter 498
“Elaine…”
It was not difficult for a Transcendent to control one’s emotions. In a battle, one could be absolutely calm.
However, at this time, Tang Yu discovered that Elaine’s mind was fluctuating violently for a moment.
“Could it be?”
Elaine looked into the distance, as if she wanted to firmly engrave this scene in her mind. After a while, she slowly said, “Yes, this city is the place I lived in.”
In the past eighteen years, she had never left the city, and had not seen the scene outside the city.
But at this moment,
Looking from afar, through the collapsed city walls, she saw the ruins of the city, the low houses that had been buried, and the breach of the city wall that she had seen with her own eyes.
It was still fresh in her memory.
“I found something here. It seems to be a crystal mine.”
Tang Yu looked at the short mountain where Zaber was and then came to the mountain in a flash.
There were still some obvious human creations left here, and more were corpses, humans, and dark creatures.
The tunnel was deep, and there were very few small origin crystals on the walls. The energy contained within them was weak, and there wasn’t even a single unit. For the time being, it could only be considered an origin crystal fragment.
Many of the branches in the cave had already collapsed. When one focused their senses, they could only sense weak energy fluctuations.
There were also many dark creatures that were still alive that had been killed with a wave of his hand.
“This place might have been a small origin crystal mine, but now, the mine has been destroyed. After violent mining, there is no longer any more origin crystals.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey had dug up many collapsed caves. Some of them had been dead for a long time.
“I’m so poor. I’ve never seen such a broken crystal mine!” “Even if I dig them all, they can’t compare to my income from playing cards,” Xie Yi muttered.
Tang Yu kicked Xie Yi out of the mine. Seeing Elaine enter the cave, he sighed and chased after her.
For a long time, Elaine had always been labeled calm, rational, and strong in his eyes.
At this moment, she was acting like a real 18-year-old girl.
A little girl who had lost her parents.
Elaine broke through the rocks that blocked her way. From time to time, she stopped beside the corpse whose face could no longer be seen clearly. Her footsteps became faster and faster, and her hands that were tightly clenched in her sleeves trembled slightly.
Tang Yu did not speak. He just followed behind silently.
Three years ago, Elaine had lost her parents. The place they worked at was probably the mine outside the city. Who knew how many people had been buried?
Along the way, she saw hundreds and thousands of corpses.
Some died only a few months ago. There were a few corpses and vague faces that could be identified. Most of them were eaten by dark creatures, turned into bones, or buried in unknown corners.
One time, two times, three times,
Elaine searched the entire mine, and searched all the places with human traces.
She turned around with a forced smile, her sapphire eyes rippling like a lake.
“S-sorry, it was me who delayed everyone”
She hung her head low, and before she could finish speaking, her mouth was blocked.
A bottle of spirit clear wine that had just opened was handed to her mouth.
“What are you talking about? There’s no need to apologize.”
“说什么话呢,我们之间,还需要道歉吗。” nodded heavily, took the spirit clear wine, raised her head, and drank it in one gulp.
She drank too quickly. The wine seeped out from the corner of her mouth and dripped down her collarbone. Her beautiful long hair was also a little messy.
She did not care.
Suddenly, she sobbed.
“I thought I had put it down and thought I could be strong…”
“I really want to find their bones and build a grave for them…”
Tang Yu silently borrowed his shoulder, but tears could only streak across the cold armor.
He thought,
He suddenly thought of a way.
He secretly took off a strand of Elaine’s hair. With this as a medium, Xing Ling might be able to divine the location of Elaine’s parents.
He did not say it immediately.
Too much time had passed, and there were too many accidents. The divination might not succeed. If there was hope, it would be even more heartbreaking.
Wait until Xing Ling have found it, then tell Elaine.
Elaine’s mood was low, and it did not last long.
When the two of them walked out of the mine, she was the same calm mage as usual.
Xie Yi, who was squatting at the entrance to observe the distance, immediately smiled and ran forward.

“This city is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The outer city walls are basically destroyed. Only the inner city walls are still intact. As for the humans inside, they are in the inner city as expected.”
Tang Yu nodded. “Elaine, Luo Zhe, Xie Yi, Winnie, Nancy, Xiao Li, come with me to the city. Xing Ling, Zaber, stay outside the city and be on guard.”
As he spoke, he passed by Xing Ling and put the hair into the palm of the Xing Ling. At the same time, he ordered in the contract.
Then, he brought Elaine and the others to the dilapidated city.
…
“This is the craftsman’s area. This is the slums. This is… the place where I used to live.”
Tang Yu looked at the collapsed wooden house and then looked at Elaine. She was still calm.
The house was originally empty. The collapsed wooden house naturally empty. However, Elaine still dug out the original tattered bed board from the ruins and put it into her space ring.
The size of the city was not small.
Although this world was similar to the layout of the Middle Ages. Before the end of the world, the nobles had divided the land. However, it was still a high-level martial arts and had rune technology. The living standards of ordinary people and low-level Hunters were mostly the same as those of the ancient times. However, the nobles were different.
With the strength of the awakened, it was much more convenient to build than in the ancient times.
The land area was much larger than that of Lin Dong. Perhaps, Tree Shade could only compare to those undeveloped land on the floating continent.
They walked through many places in the outer city. There were collapsed houses everywhere. Only a few sturdy ones were still standing. Broken stones, broken wooden planks, and wooden strips crushed many rotten corpses.
There were almost no valuable items. There were also some merchants living in the outer city, but some ruins had obvious traces of search.
In the distance,
There were a few dark creatures wandering around, and when they heard the noise, they rushed over and were frozen into ice sculptures.
Tang Yu turned his head to look. Not far from the city, there was a large river. He could imagine the prosperity of this vast river before the end of the world.
