Looking at those four pieces of dried meat.
And there was the way his granddaughter looked so eager.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but still took the four pieces of dried meat.
He handed the four pieces of dried meat directly to Sophia, and then said:
"Well... let me tell you about it!"
But before he started speaking, he gave a brief self-introduction.
It was only then that Su Che learned his name.
The old man's name is Simon, and he is fifty-six years old this year.
He brought his granddaughter Sophia into the City of the Dead last year.

Chapter 413 Don't Trust Easily
Those low-level demons who can pass the arena battles are no ordinary people.
Therefore, this old man Simon and this young girl Sophia are not simple compared to ordinary demons.
However, the two are significantly different in age.
Moreover, none of them are considered exceptionally gifted.
After entering Huangquan City, the two did not receive any special treatment.
For over a year, Sophia was not even qualified to obtain the Demon Water.
Simon, needless to say, is already past his age.
It's already a miracle to even enter the City of the Dead, let alone obtain the Demon Water.
Simon came to the Lost Ruins because he felt his days were numbered.
If he leaves too, then Sophia will be all alone in this world.
At that time, no one will be able to protect her.
In the first level of hell.
Sophia possesses the strength of a two-winged demon, and even without her protection, she can survive well.
Even just reaching the peak of the wingless demon realm is remarkable.
So he wanted to make a big gamble for his granddaughter before he died.
These words.
Sofia herself certainly knew.
Although she really wanted some beef jerky, she didn't eat it right away, but instead listened quietly from the side.
Every time I look into my grandfather's eyes, I see a hint of sadness.
She must have been very conflicted before agreeing to her grandfather's decision!
But for the sake of the future, and so as not to worry her grandfather, she bravely took this step.
After hearing Simon's story, he finally began to talk about the Lost Ruins.
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much about other things, but there's one thing you just need to remember......"
"Once you enter the Lost Ruins, do not trust anyone."
If Rachel were standing nearby, she would be very surprised that Simon was saying exactly the same thing her uncle was saying!
Su Che didn't seem too surprised, but he still asked:
"why?"
Simon's expression turned very serious at this moment, and he said;
"Those who choose to go to the Lost Ruins are people who have no hope of entering the Twin-Winged Demons, and they have no identity or background in the City of the Dead."
"They have nothing, yet they rely on this trip to obtain everything they want, even if they cannot obtain supreme glory and status."
"Or even if I obtained a bottle of demonic water, I wouldn't be able to advance to the strength of a two-winged demon, but..."
"As long as we can survive the lost ruins, and even bring back a lot of magic potions, we can gain the recognition of the City of the Dead."
"Then they can hold their heads high in the City of the Dead!"
At this point, Simon's expression became even more serious.
"Although we are all people sent out by the City of the Dead, Lord Morton also said that they should look after each other after they go in."
"But this lost ruin has a restriction. Even if seven powerful four-winged demons open the restriction, we will be separated by the restrictions inside."
Simon said, glancing sadly at Sofia beside him.
“Even Sophia and I could be separated. Everyone will be randomly teleported to different corners of the lost ruins.”
"Some people are lucky enough to be teleported directly to places that possess rare magical potions."
"Some people will be very unlucky and will be directly teleported to places guarded by terrifying magical beasts, where they will die instantly."
"None of us know where we will end up."
"Based on the pattern of past trips to the Lost Ruins, those who survive are either those with terrifying strength or those who know when to stop."
Su Che listened, nodded slightly, and then asked:
"I understand your terrifying strength, but what do you mean by 'knowing when to stop'? If you don't go all out, can you survive inside?"
Simon shook his head:
"The 'knowing when to stop' here means that you have a certain level of strength and are willing to give up precious magic potions. Under normal circumstances, your chances of survival are relatively high."
"Initially, when the Lost Ruins were first opened, the seven territories sent people in, and they all worked very harmoniously, picking the potions without interfering with each other. At that time, the people sent out by each territory were the most talented people in Huangquan City."
"But as resources dwindled in the lost ruins, the people of the various territories revealed their greedy and evil sides."
"In order to obtain more potions, they started fighting each other, and later it developed into a situation where whoever survived could get more potions."
"In the end, such struggles are no longer limited to low-ranking demons from different territories. Low-ranking demons from the same territory will also kill their own people for more rewards and take the potions they obtain for themselves."
"So...once you're inside, don't trust even people from your own territory."
"If you encounter someone from your own territory who needs help, you should also consider whether you should help them and whether this person is worthy of your help."

Chapter 414 Remember it firmly
Su Che at this moment.
That's when I finally understood.
Why did I see those thirty people back then, even though they were from the same territory?
But they all looked indifferent and showed no spirit of cooperation whatsoever.
When Morton then announced free time, everyone dispersed and showed no intention of cooperating.
to be honest……
This trip to the lost ruins was entirely a solo endeavor!
Moreover, once inside, you will be randomly teleported.
You never know what you're about to face.
No one had told him these things, but now that Simon was telling him, he remembered them firmly.
At this point, Simon concluded:
"That's all the advice I can give you. Just remember this."
Su Che simply nodded and smiled.
"Thank you."
Simon said:
"I also thank you. Thank you for the jerky. I have never smelled jerky that smells so good."
Su Che chuckled. 043:
"You can try it; it tastes even better."
Simon looked at Sofia and said:
"You wanted to eat, right? Here you go!"
Sofia looked at the four pieces of jerky, then shook her head and said;
“We’ll eat this after we enter the Lost Ruins, and... if Grandpa doesn’t eat it, Sophia won’t eat it either.”
Seeing Sofia's expression, Simon looked somewhat sad.
What saddened him was...
Now that they've entered the lost ruins, the grandfather and grandson might not even meet again.
