Chapter 497 - Four Images

Not long after, Tang Huan and Feng Ming arrived at the center of the Forgotten City.

At this time, what appeared before the two of them was a huge six-story building. Not only did it stand on the island for countless of years without collapsing, it was also well-preserved.

Before the small world separated from the Forging God Great World, no one knew what the tall building used to be used for, but now, its greatest function was to point out directions.

The base of the tall building was square in shape, with sculptures at each corner.

One was a coiled up green dragon, one was a white tiger that was roaring with its head held high, one was a giant red bird, and one was a monster that was coiled around a Turtle Snake.

The moment he saw the four statues, Tang Huan thought of his "four phenomena" from his previous life: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

In this small world, they were regarded as the "Four Great Strange Beasts". Moreover, according to the information that Xing Meng had disclosed, the names that the two of them had in this small world were different from what he had addressed Tang Huan as in his previous life.

In fact, the direction that they were pointing at was also different from Tang Huan's previous life.

In Tang Huan's previous life, the Azure Dragon was the east, the White Tiger was the west, the Vermillion Bird was the south, and the Profound realm was the north. But on this island, the Profound realm was the east, the Vermillion Bird was the west, the Azure Dragon was the south, and the White Tiger was the north.

This confused Tang Huan.

For thousands of years, the location of this island has been verified by countless people in small worlds. It should be accurate. Could it be that in this small world, the directions of the Four Symbols were not the same as in his previous life? After all, they were two very different worlds.

Of course, there was also another possibility. It was that after the small world had separated from the Forging God Great World, the island that carried the 'Forgotten City' had rotated clockwise for half a circle before a 'Black Tortoise to the east, Vermillion Bird to the west, Azure Dragon to the south, and White Tiger to the north' phenomenon.

With a thought, Tang Huan stopped thinking about it.

Whether or not the Black Tortoise became the east or the Black Tortoise became the north, they did not have much of an impact on his search for the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire". The reason he went to the center area of the "Forgotten City" was because he wanted to see if he could find any traces left behind by Yu Feiyan here.

After all, everyone who entered the Forgotten City would be the first to arrive here.

If Xuan Ming Ghost King was really targeting Yu Feiyan, then Yu Feiyan should still be alive right now. Otherwise, Xuan Ming Ghost King wouldn't need to keep maintaining the "Magic Demon Illusion Array" all the time.

While thinking, Tang Huan had already circled around the tall building.

On the wide plaza behind the tall building, many tents of various sizes could be seen. It was obvious that they were left behind by the people who came to train.

In front of some tents, there were even stalls made of stone. Many people would take out the items they had obtained from the "Forgotten City" and trade them with others. However, there weren't any ghosts in this area.

Tang Huan quickly looked around, it was a mess here, some of the tents had already been torn apart, and around the tents, there were even more clothes scattered, and some weapons could be seen.

His gaze turned, and Tang Huan had already determined the direction of everyone's retreat.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, Tang Huan waved his hand at Flamewing Phoenix King, and immediately flew towards the west where the "Vermillion Bird" was pointing at. The wide road extended straight ahead, and the ground was riddled with potholes and ravines. In some places, dried blood and various items that had been discarded could be seen.

After about half an hour, Tang Huan and Flamewing Phoenix King stopped in front of a small mountain which was over a hundred meters tall.

There was no sign of vegetation on this mountain. It was smooth and had a dazzling white luster, making it look like an enormous boulder. Directly in front of Tang Huan and the Flamewing Phoenix King, there was a round arched entrance that was ten meters tall.

However, at this moment, the entrance to the passageway was tightly shut.

It was just that after observing for a short while, the Flamewing Phoenix King couldn't help but laugh, "After the Xuan Ming Ghost King's' Magic Illusion Formation 'is successfully set up, it will take a period of time before it can create an illusion. It is very possible that someone noticed that something was amiss and retreated towards this direction before the illusion appeared, causing the Xuan Ming Ghost King to have no choice but to condense an evil spirit and attack it.

"So they're still inside?"

Tang Huan nodded his head, then looked at the arched door and frowned, after that he took out a map from inside the Sumeru Magical Ring.

This map was the map that Tang Huan had taken from Flamewing Phoenix King's bag. He suddenly realised that the map seemed to be pointing towards this small white mountain, but on the map, this small mountain was drawn in a very strange way, like a crouching white tiger.

"What's going on?" Flamewing Phoenix King went over to take a look, and muttered somewhat suspiciously.

"Yiya?"

Xiao Budian also opened his eyes widely as he scratched his head in curiosity. He suddenly looked at the hill in front of him and sized up the map in his hands.

"White Tiger?"

Tang Huan muttered the two runes and subconsciously thought about the four statues he saw at the base of the tall buildings in the center of Forgotten City. In a blink of an eye, a pair of wings condensed on Tang Huan's back. In a mere flick of a finger, he had already soared up to a height of a few hundred meters high in the sky.

Looking down from high above, Tang Huan was dumbstruck.

Although the shape of the white hill below him wasn't anything strange, it seemed to contain a huge white tiger sitting on the ground with its head held high, roaring.

"It's exactly the same as the map?"

Tang Huan and the Flamewing Phoenix King who were also floating in the air looked at each other, and both saw a hint of astonishment in each other's eyes.

Following that, Tang Huan couldn't help but take the map and study it carefully once again.

This map had a dark yellow color and looked rather old. It seemed to have existed for quite some time. However, the map was obviously drawn by the people of this small world, otherwise, they would not have painted the location of the "Forgotten City" as if it was an island.

What made Tang Huan puzzled was that the person who drew this map, what was his intention?

The existence of this "Forgotten City" was not a secret, even without a map, they could still find this place. After arriving at the "Forgotten City", finding this small mountain was not a difficult task, just drawing a map for it was unnecessary.

"Could it be that there is another secret on this map?" Flamewing Phoenix King seemed to have also thought of this, he immediately pinched his chin and muttered.

"There's another secret …"

Tang Huan turned it over and over a few times.

Dudian suddenly realized that the map was stuck to two layers of paper. However the edges were well processed. It was difficult to detect if he wasn't careful.
