This is a dry and desolate land, lifeless. There are only low hills and barren fields full of wind and candles.

    Caesar galloped by from low altitude, his huge wingspan with a roaring hurricane stirred up the desert yellow sand, raising dust storms wherever he passed.

    Time is pressing. He not only needs to find the place in SIF''s guide, but also needs to explore it as soon as possible. There are no wells or sweet springs in the Selong Gobi, only the bitter pool that is dry, shallow and stagnant and exposed to the hot sun. The more he goes deep into the location indicated in the map, the less water he finds, and the longer and rarer the distance between the pools.

    Food and water are a big problem for any creature, especially in the hot and desolate Gobi desert.

    The next bitter water pool they found was hot and full of the smell of sulfur. However, the orcs and jackals had no choice but to find a way to hold water and drink it after the water cooled down.

    Caesar didn''t mind. This guy''s stomach is like a melting pot of all things. He can digest everything he eats. If there is no food, this guy can''t starve to death by eating earth alone.

    But his family members are not necessarily. Without food supplement, the weak jackals began to whimper and die, and then were divided by the same race. The orcs can resist a little, but the situation is also bad.

    Fortunately, when the darkness covered the sky, they rushed to a chapped loess plain, where they saw the steep city.

    "Your Majesty."

    The Jackal Hogg shouted, this guy has just eaten half of his family, but he looks very natural and doesn''t have any strange feeling. He reported full of confidence: "that''s the city."

    The black dragon ignored him, flapping his wings and quickly approached and arrived at the city market.

    The brick walls integrated with the desert are full of cracks, and some of the top of the walls are also built with skyward dragon spurs, but most of them have been weathered and buried by yellow sand after peeling off.

    "It looks like an ancient fortress. Are these things... Used to resist the blue dragon?"

    Caesar landed slowly with the Dragon Wings, staring at the wall more than 20 meters high. There were still towers and crossbow openings on the inner side of the wall, but they were also withered and reduced to a situation that could only be used as decorations.

    "Caesar."

    Luna showed half her head from the thorn behind him and whispered, "this place has magic flow, very weak, but it does exist. You should be careful."

    "This city has been abandoned for at least a thousand years. Will it have magic flow?"

    Caesar turned his head and asked Sen''s goblin, "are you sure?"

    The little guy closed his eyes, opened them again, and nodded very seriously: "Hmm -"

    At this time, Hogg also led his jackal clan to arrive. These guys can run like terrible wolves, much faster than orcs with helmets and armor.

    "It seems that I remember correctly, your majesty."

    Hogg stopped behind Caesar, holding the hatchet in his hand: "this is a dead city. It has no name and is broken. Only the wind and the dead shuttle through the street."

    Hogg was deeply suspicious of the map from the stone crow clan.

    "Oh, hoo, the dead."

    Luna trembled and said, "it seems that evil spirits will haunt at night. Caesar, can we avoid this place?"

    The little guy has become a lot less daring. It seems that he was frightened by the green dragon before.

    "Poof."

    Caesar sniffed at this, smiled and asked, "you were not afraid when you peeped at me, but you were afraid of the dead?"

    As the most dark and evil dragon species, most black dragons will spontaneously awaken some necromancer spells, and some extreme black dragons will even take the initiative to learn this kind of magic, like to manipulate the dead and accompany the dead all their life.

    More than half of the Dragon lichs in eradia are transformed by black dragons. In a sense, black dragons are much more terrible than ordinary undead creatures.

    Caesar shook off the dust that gradually covered his body after standing for only a short time. He first crossed the tall arch of the ruins of the ancient city and walked along the silent main road. The orcs of the gall and stone crow clan followed, and the other jackals followed slowly.

    In his opinion, the city may have been abandoned for more than a thousand years. It is full of broken walls, narrow alleys are blocked by rubble and yellow sand, and buildings roll against each other. Their front faces have no windows and no characteristics, and they look yellow.

    The square is plagued by wind and sand, and weeds grow among the road stones.

    However, Caesar was not an archaeologist and was not interested in studying the context and historical story of the city. He asked his family members to camp in a long destroyed palace ruins, and then sent people to search for the ruins.

    Although the dark curtain covered the earth, both orcs and jackals had dark vision, which could not defeat them, so the orcs took the lead to leave. Although the dirty and lazy jackals were reluctant, they still scattered under Hogg''s orders.

    Before long, a jackal with black spots on his head ran back, drooling in his tusks and holding a pile of figs in his arms. Although the fruit was small and withered, the jackals greedily robbed each other, pushed and bit each other, stuffed the fruit into his mouth and chewed it.

    Later, other searchers also reported that some orcs found fruit orchards in the secret garden of the Lord''s area. Although most of them had withered, they found a living vine with green grapes hanging on it.

    Olkash found a well. The water was cold and clean. Garh was attacked by an unwise skeleton. As a result, he was pinched and exploded by the big ORC. He found a large number of untreated white bones in the corner of the city ruins, pale and damaged.

    Hogg found the statue.

    After thousands of years, the standing sculpture has not collapsed yet. It is magnificent and spectacular.

    It was a huge humanoid creature carved purely from granite. It was taller and bigger than Caesar. The humanoid creature had a red chamber, except for a strong shoulder armor on its right arm, a horn emblem on its belt, a long Tomahawk in its right hand and a flag in its left hand.

    His ears were as small and narrow as elves, his four lower jaw tusks protruded from his mouth, there was a scar on his eyes, his hair was tied up at the back of his head, and the rest was scattered on his face.

    "Ancient orcs."

    Caesar narrowed his eyes and judged softly.

    This statue should be an orc hero in the epic era. At that time, the male Orc had strong hair and long and narrow ears. Now the ear of the orc has degenerated to the size of human, and the male

    Caesar glanced at his family members of the stone crow clan. Almost all of them were bald.

    It is impossible for humans to allow the establishment of ORC sculptures in their own cities. So, is this an orc fortress?

    A product of the orc Empire?

    Gee, that''s a long time ago... The black dragon couldn''t help smacking his mouth.

    Luna flew to his head and opened her eyes: "Caesar, the magic here is stronger than anywhere else."
