Lin Feng furrowed his brow, fell silent for a moment, and said, "Judging by their conduct, they don't seem like practitioners of the righteous path. But this desert is mysterious by nature, so it's hard to determine their true identity right away. Still, by staying in this Ancient City, we might just be able to unearth some clues."
After resting for a brief moment, the trio continued exploring the Ancient City. Inside a building that looked like a palace ruin, Lin Feng spotted a wall covered densely with intricate patterns and inscriptions. These patterns seemed to bear some connection to the strange symbols they had previously seen on the ground.
Lin Feng observed the wall carvings closely, trying to decipher their meaning. After some study, he realized the patterns appeared to recount an ancient tale. The story mentioned that a powerful magical treasure was concealed beneath the desert, and that this treasure was linked to a mysterious organization. To guard the treasure, this enigmatic faction had laid numerous traps throughout the desert and stationed personnel to keep watch day and night.
