Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

After the two entered, they found that the chairs and benches in the house were arranged neatly, and there was no clutter on the floor. It could be described as spotless. All the other items were also placed in an orderly manner.

They walked silently to a table. Wang Mu wiped the table with his hand and looked at it; there wasn't a speck of dust on his hand.

He then wiped the underside of the table, and it was spotless; there wasn't even a speck of dust on his hands.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment, then pushed open a door to what appeared to be a guest room. The bed and blankets were neatly folded, and there were several paintings on the wall, each depicting a different castle.

Then they went to the backyard, and it was no different; all the household items were neatly arranged.

They found no useful information and were nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Lixue said, "Your Majesty, perhaps I was too nervous before and misjudged."

Wang Mu thought it made sense, and the two returned to the front hall.

Looking at the dozens of neatly arranged tables and chairs, Wang Mu pulled out a chair, sat down, and said, "It seems that the people of this city did not panic when they left; it was as if they left in an organized manner."

Lixue nodded gently, thought for a moment, and said, "There should be a square ahead; perhaps we can get some clues there."

"Okay, let's go to the square."

The two walked out of the house, and two black pieces of paper fell behind them, slowly dropping to the ground. It was unclear where these pieces of paper came from.

Once back on the main street, Wang Mu took another look at it. The street was probably more than twenty meters wide, with various shops and restaurants lining both sides. Just as Li Xue had said, this city was very populous and prosperous.

Looking again at the flags hanging in the shop, he saw they had turned black. He couldn't understand why the flags and the trees outside had all turned black.

In the woods outside, the trees and flowers had turned black, but they weren't the kind that would turn to dust at the slightest touch, nor were they weathered. Instead, they seemed to have been directly drained from the trees and flowers, or soaked in something.

He didn't find any poison. He studied it for most of the day but found nothing unusual, so he gave up. Looking at the black cloth in front of him, he figured it was probably the same.

"Your Majesty, isn't it strange that an empty city can't be seen by a single living creature, nor can a sound be heard?" At this moment, Li Xue's face showed worry.

Wang Mu comforted him, "Anyway, we're just looking for a way out. I listened carefully to my surroundings, and just as you said, there wasn't a single living thing. Even the flowers, grass, and trees were all the same color as the black trees in the forest outside. However, it's clear that the people here left calmly, which means there was no danger."

Li Xue said, "That's why I suspect this city is cursed."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu felt a little flustered, knowing that there were too many unknowns in this world and that he was not omnipotent.

He quickly checked her body discreetly and found that she was fine. "Lixue, are you feeling unwell?"

Lixue shook her head. "I just checked and found nothing. I'm just a little worried."

"Stand still and don't move."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Wang Mu remained silent, unleashing his Three Rings Seven Colors technique, enveloping the two of them from head to toe, the three colorful halos passing over them once.

Then he said, "Okay, let's go."

"Ah."

Just as they turned to walk forward, a wisp of smoke, tinged with black, emerged from Wang Mu's body. The next second, it transformed into a ferocious face and vanished instantly.

Wang Mu felt something behind him, but when he turned around abruptly, there was nothing there.

Li Xue was startled and blurted out, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Wang Mu stared behind him for several seconds, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

"The Emperor."

"Lixue, I have a feeling that there is something strange about this city. We should make some preparations in advance, and be on the safe side."

"You're thinking?"

"Wait a moment."

After Wang Mu finished speaking, he began making talismans to ward off evil spirits. Once he finished, he handed one of the talismans to Li Xue.

Lixue took the talisman in her hand and asked, "What is this?"

"This is for warding off evil spirits. This talisman can resist curses." Wang Mu took out another medicine packet. "Keep this on your person as well. It can protect against poison. Remember not to put it in your spatial ring."

Lixue didn't ask any more questions and carefully put away the talisman and medicine packet.

The two then walked toward the city center. After about half an hour, they came to a large square with a large palace opposite it.

A statue, about twenty meters tall, stands in the square, depicting a knight riding a monster.

This monster is quite peculiar; it's upside down, with one front leg supporting its entire body. The knight on the monster's body holds a spear, which is also pointing downwards. The statue is quite bizarre.

Wang Mu only glanced at it briefly. What caught his attention was the palace. At that moment, he wondered if he had found a treasure.

At some point, Lixue arrived in front of the statue, examined it carefully, and then turned around and called out, "Your Majesty, come quickly."

Wang Mu walked closer. "What did you find?"

“This monster is called the Angry Beast. Look at that mark,” Lixue said, pointing to the warrior’s armor on the monster’s body.

"Lixue, what do you mean?"

“If I’m not mistaken, this is the Kingdom of Lumba. This Angry Beast is the kingdom’s guardian beast, and later became the country’s totem. The mark represents the kingdom.” Li Xue said excitedly.

Wang Mu suppressed his excitement and asked, "You mean, it might be the Rumba Kingdom that disappeared over a thousand years ago?"

Lixue nodded seriously.

Wang Mu could no longer contain himself. He grabbed Li Xue and spun her around in the air, laughing loudly, "Haha, we're rich! Haha!"

Li Xue was also very excited. Even now, countless people on the continent are still searching for the Kingdom of Rumba.

Soon after, Wang Mu, disregarding everything else and with only gold coins and treasures in his mind, led Li Xue into the palace, ready to wreak havoc.

But once inside, he found nothing. He saw almost no money. Although there were some ancient buildings and murals, they were not of any interest to him.

Putting aside whether the spatial ring could hold it, antiques on the mainland weren't valued as much as they were in his previous life.

Just as the two were searching for the treasure, something like smoke and mist slowly emerged from dozens of cracks in the wall, and it seemed as if black energy was slowly gathering towards them.

Wang Mu circled around a few times, and in his helplessness, he saw several iron dishes whose contents he did not know, nor whether they were valuable. Although they were black, they made a buzzing sound when tapped.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"After searching for a long time, I found not a single gold coin, let alone any treasures. Legend has it that the Kingdom of Rumba is full of gold coins, as well as sacred artifacts and divine weapons. Alas, I can't steal anything."

Lixue was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant and giggled, "Are you going to take these iron dishes with you?"

"We went through so much trouble to get here, are we just going to leave empty-handed?"

Lixue was startled. "Your Majesty, this city is cursed. We cannot take it!"
