"Thank you, senior, for saving your life!"

Wu An suddenly clasped his fists towards the veteran and saluted solemnly.

Wu An gave this gift from the heart.

He knew very well that without this veteran, the consequences would be disastrous.

Maybe he is dead here now.

The veteran smiled and replied, "You're welcome, little brother, it's just a little effort."

Hearing this, Wu An did not feel that the veteran was being modest. For Wu An, the red winged beast was an invincible opponent, but for the veteran, it was really easy. He pierced the fierce red winged beast with just one shot.

Veterans are very strong, extremely strong.

Wu An said, "Dare I ask, senior, who is the guardian of this ancient city?"

The veteran scratched his head and said with a smile, "I'm not really a guardian, I'm just a soldier guarding the city."

"Veteran?"

A flash of suspicion flashed in Wu An's eyes. Whose veteran is so perverted that he can kill a winged beast at the level of an Immortal King with one move?

The veteran seemed to see the suspicion in Wu An's eyes, and added, "Little brother, I will not lie to others. I am really a soldier and a veteran."

Wu An nodded slightly. He said that a veteran is a veteran. Wu An did not dare to question this perverted veteran.

Immediately, he turned to ask, "Senior, do you mean that I can enter this ancient city?"

The old soldier said, "Of course, Tianhu City blocks the demons, and other creatures can enter Tianhu City."

"Demons? Tianhu City?"

Wu An heard these two unfamiliar words. He didn't know what demons were, but Tianhu City should be the ancient city in front of him.

Wu An then asked, "Senior, don't you know what the demon clan is?"

The veteran looked at the red winged beast on the tip of the gun and said, "Look, this winged bat is a type of demon."

"It turns out this thing is called a winged bat."

Wu An was shocked, "The Winged Bat is just one type of demons! Are there other types of demons on the ancient road?"

At this moment, the veteran suddenly looked at the long knife in Wu An's hand and said, "Little brother, no matter where you got this knife, after entering the city, try not to show it in front of outsiders."

Hearing this, Wu An felt moved and hurriedly asked, "Senior, have you ever seen this knife?"

The veteran shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before, but this knife has a familiar aura. It is a big killing weapon. There are many people in Tianhu City who covet this kind of killing weapon."

Wu An looked thoughtful and thanked the veteran, "Thank you, senior, for reminding me."

After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and then asked, "Senior, is this the end of the ancient road? When you enter the city, do you enter the source world?"

The veteran replied, "This is not the end of the ancient road. It is still far away from the source world. To be honest, Tianhu City is just a forgotten lonely city."

"The forgotten city?"

After hearing this answer, Wu An's thoughts suddenly began to wander.

Then, the veteran said again, "Little brother, you are seriously injured and you won't be able to survive outside for long. Follow me into the city!"

Wu An said, "Then it's up to you, Senior Lao."

At the moment, Wu'an has no better choice. Staying outside the city may also attract more and more terrifying winged bats.

"Open the city gate!"

Immediately, the veteran shouted towards the city wall.

Not long after.

Boom!

A heavy city gate slowly opened.

"Let's go!"

The veteran walked in front, and Wu An immediately followed.

Tianhu City is very big. After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, Wu An followed the veteran to the city wall.

At a glance, there are a large number of soldiers stationed on the city wall, and there is a soldier every few meters.

Wu An asked, "Senior, are these soldiers veterans like you?"

The veteran shook his head and said, "It's different. Almost all of these little babies come from all the worlds. After walking on the ancient road to Tianhu City, they volunteered to become the guards of Tianhu City."

Hearing this, Wu An breathed a sigh of relief. If so many soldiers were as powerful as the veteran next to him, Wu An's cognition would really be subverted.

Wu An walked forward and looked into the distance, his mind was suddenly shocked.

He saw not one ancient road, but tens of thousands of ancient roads, countless.

And the ancient road I have traveled is just one of countless ancient roads.

"Every ancient road leads to a realm."

The veteran said.

Wu An could tell that what the veteran said about a world should refer to a universe.

Just like the universe where Wu An lives, an ancient road also appeared.

Only then did Wu An understand the significance of this ancient city.

What it faces is not one ancient road, but countless ancient roads.

On just one ancient road that Wu'an walked, terrifying creatures such as the winged bats appeared. With countless ancient roads converging together, one can imagine the pressure Tianhu City faces.

"Yes, there are demons on almost every ancient road."

What the veteran said confirmed Wu An's guess, "The meaning of Tianhu City's existence is to keep the demons away from the source world."

Wu An suddenly said, "Senior, have you ever been to the Source Realm?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu An noticed a slight change in the veteran's mood.

A flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself, "Origin World, such a distant memory, my hometown is there."

Wu An was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this veteran came from the Source Realm.

Wu An asked, "Then why doesn't Senior return to the Origin Realm?"

The veteran sighed and shook his head. Instead of answering the question, he asked, "Little brother, are you here for the Source Realm?"

Wu An nodded and said, "Senior, the reason I set foot on the ancient road is to enter the Source Realm."

The veteran sighed, "I hope so."

Wu An heard something in the veteran's words and asked, "I wonder what the senior said?"

The veteran pointed to the soldiers on the city wall and said, "They are like you, coming from all the worlds. They set out on the ancient road to seek the source world, but in the end they stayed in Tianhu City."

"Do you know why they stay here? Because the road ahead is cut off, and they have to stay here forever."

"The road ahead is cut off?"

Wu An frowned.

The veteran explained, "The ancient road leading to the Source Realm has been broken. If you don't become enlightened, you may never be able to enter the Source Realm."

Wu An said, "Senior, what you mean is that although the road ahead is cut off, you can enter the Source Realm as long as you build a great road?"

The veteran said, "Even if we have a great road, there is only a glimmer of hope."

Hearing this, Wu An's frown relaxed and he smiled, "There is hope, so what if the road is cut off?"

The veteran was slightly startled, then laughed loudly and said, "Well said, little brother, I will definitely treat you to a drink tonight."

Wu An did not refuse, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Senior, I would rather obey your orders than I am respectful."

After a pause, Wu An asked a key question, "Senior, I wonder why you wanted to save me?"

As soon as he said this, the veteran immediately looked at Wu An, showing his big yellow teeth, his eyes burning, and said,

"Little brother, if I say I like you, would you believe it?"
