places, but was the fragment space, found the black earth the place to be the same with before. 这一找,还真让林毅找到了不少的秘境,但都是碎片空间,和之前找到黑土的地方一样。 „, Was here once the ancient battlefield?” “难道说,这里曾经是个古战场?” Lin

does not have the problem. 所以大胆假设也没毛病。 Is a pity in the middle of these mystical places not to leave behind any useful clue, otherwise Lin Yi in this time can also the archaeology. 就是可惜这些秘境当中没有留下任何有用的线索,不然林毅在这个时代还能考古。 Naturally, Lin Yi cannot determine that time the style, actually also many can guess correctly 12. 当然,林毅不能确定那个时代的风貌,却也多少能猜到一二。 That time, is ten thousand clans

swept by Lin Yi emptied, has not actually discovered the spirit ripples actually. 整个山里的秘境都被林毅扫空了,却硬是没发现灵漪。 This is place that because the spirit ripples are, is the projection of the world.
