The atmosphere in Black Rock City is almost apocalyptic.
In fact, for Black Rock City, this is the end of the world.
Everyone died.
Clan members of the Shi Family, warriors of the Shi Family, servants of the Shi Family, slaves of the Shi Family... and the army of the Immortality Cult stationed in Black Rock City.
Inside and out, clean and dead.
Standing in the hall of the main castle of Blackstone City, looking at the row of corpses placed in front of him, Wu Tie almost vomited even though he had already experienced life, death, and killing.
These corpses belong to the Shi family elders who have taken refuge in the Immortality Cult.
They are already very old, and their skin folds, age spots, age spots and wrinkles, etc., inevitably make their appearance not so good-looking.
When they appeared in front of Wu Tie, they were now shriveled up, as if they were all skin and bones. Only their bellies were bulging, and the green and black blood vessels on their bellies were tangled in a mess, making them look particularly ferocious.
There were hideous wounds on their bodies, wounds caused by all kinds of weapons.
There was no blood in the wound, only a turbid, viscous, pus that seemed to have gone bad and smelly.
This kind of pus does not coagulate like normal plasma. These elders have been dead for several days, and the pus is still slowly flowing out of their bodies, exuding a cold, decaying atmosphere.
Wu Tie obtained a copy of the Immortality Sect's secret scripture "The Sutra of Immortality" from the bracelet left by Zhu Zixi. On the way back with Shi Qu, Wu Tie was bored and carefully read the secret book from beginning to end several times.
He recognized that before these elders of the Shi family died, all their energy and spirit were refined using the secret techniques in the "Eternal Life Sutra" and condensed into the Immortality Sect's unique secret elixir, the Immortality Pill!
Immortality Pill, this is an extremely evil secret medicine. The only material is living things, all kinds of living things. Intelligent creatures are better. Intelligent creatures with cultivation are the best. If the cultivation is relatively strong, it is an excellent raw material.
Mana, soul, essence and blood, all the energy in the body, and all the essence will be extracted by evil magic and condensed into immortality pills.
The Immortality Pill can greatly replenish vitality, and can be activated by secret methods to extend life. Of course, for the young disciples of the Immortality Sect, the Eternal Life Pill is the best secret medicine to assist in cultivation. The cultivation level of the young disciples of the Eternal Life Sect is much higher than that of ordinary people of the same age. The key is the Eternal Life Pill.
Wu Tie resisted the urge to vomit.
He left the hall and walked to the bathroom nearby. He took out dozens of bottles of the high-quality immortality pills collected by Zhu Zixi from his bracelet, crushed them one by one and poured them into the gutter and flushed them away with water.
When reading the "Sutra of Immortality", although Wu Tie was horrified by the sorcery of the Immortality Cult, Wu Tie had no direct impression of these immortality pills.
I met these elders of the Shi family with my own eyes.
Seeing that their corpses were like rotting rats, constantly exuding the foul-smelling pus, Wu Tie could no longer accept the existence of the Immortality Pill. Seeing these exquisite bloody pills, Wu Tie thought of these hideous and ugly corpses.
Wu Tie broke all the medicine bottles used to hold the longevity pills and threw them into the gutter. Wu Tie washed his hands carefully several times before returning to the hall with a gloomy face.
In the hall, only Shi Meng, who was seriously injured and unable to move, was slumped on a large chair, staring blankly at the corpses that had been specially preserved.
All the other corpses in the city, whether they were from the Shi family, the Shi family's warriors, slaves, or those from the Immortality Cult warriors, had all been burned to ashes and buried in the fields outside the city.
All of this was done by the surviving Shi Fei and Shi Le with their own hands.
Of the three most powerful families in the Blue Flame Region, only the more than two thousand people who fled to hide in the ancestral land of the giants survived.
Among them, there are less than a hundred people who are truly direct members of the three major families, and the average number of surviving members of each family is less than forty. The other two thousand or so people are all family warriors loyal to Shi Meng, Shi Fei, and Yan Hanlu.
The three most powerful families in Cangyan Domain exist in name only.
The Shi family and the Yan family are okay. As long as they are still alive, they can multiply their bloodlines and continue to grow their families.
But the Lu family may not be able to survive this time.
The reason why the Lu family is able to gain a foothold in the Cang Yan Territory is because of the advanced casting skills mastered by the Lu family. As for the casting industry, many high-level secrets and techniques are in the hands of the elders of the Lu family. Those young Lu family members are not yet able or qualified to learn those secrets and techniques.
The elders of the Lu family were also wiped out, and their casting skills were no longer inherited.
A family that relies on craftsmanship to make a living has lost the craftsmanship that was the foundation of the family. One can only imagine what their future fate will be.
Wu Tie walked up to Shi Meng and looked at Shi Meng blankly: "Hey, what are your plans."
Shi Meng was silent for a while, then raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Tie.
He began to tell what happened after Wu Tie and Shi Qu lured Zhu Zixi away. After Zhu Zixi madly pursued Wu Tie that day and left, more than twenty ordinary elders of the Immortality Sect commanded a large number of believers and warriors and began to madly attack the ancestral land of the giants.
Although Shi Qu left, the formation layout of the Giant Ancestral Land was still there. Controlled by Shi Bao and other giant elders, the Immortality Sect was still unable to break through the Giant Ancestral Land.
After attacking for several days, the people of the Immortality Cult suddenly retreated.
At first, Shi Meng and the others thought this was a conspiracy by the Immortal Cult to retreat in order to advance, a conspiracy to lure them away from the giant's ancestral land.
As a result, when they sent rat scouts to investigate, they discovered that the main cities of the three major families, as well as the main cities of more than a dozen surrounding major families, had been washed with blood.
The Slayer is extremely efficient, ruthless and ruthless in his methods.
There are so many main cities, some with tens of thousands of people living together, some with thousands of people living in small ones, plus the serfs in the fields outside the city and the mining slaves living in the mines, the total population is over one million, actually one person None escaped.
"I really don't know how they did it." Shi Meng looked at Wu Tie as lifelessly as a dead person: "However, ancestor Shi Qu said that the vitality of the Cangyan Territory is severely damaged and can no longer communicate with the outside realm."
"The ancestors are preparing to send out all the giants to seal the tunnel leading to the outside world."
"Close the door and concentrate on having children and growing the clan. Seal the Cang Yan Territory for at least a hundred years, and then we can talk about other things after the clan members recover to a certain number." Shi Meng gave a bitter smile: "In this way, that's fine. , with Ancestor Shi Qu sitting in charge, our Shi family is considered the most powerful family in the Cangyan Territory now... "
Wu Tie didn't know what to say.
He hasn't yet learned the hypocritical politeness of comforting others by saying, "I'm sorry and I'm sorry."
He just looked at Shi Meng and said in a deep voice: "Then, I want to leave. I want to find my brother and my mother. They are not in the Blue Flame Territory, they are outside."
Shi Meng nodded and continued to slump on the big chair: "That's fine, just leave, Deacon Xiao Tie. You are a person with a bright future. To be honest, it doesn't make sense to stay in the Blue Flame Territory."
"It's really..." Shi Meng smiled miserably: "Those damn elders, although I hate them for joining the Immortality Cult and betraying their family, but I really saw them die... When we were young, they were all kind elders and were good to us, but why? What will happen?"
"And those brothers and sisters who followed the elders wholeheartedly, they are all our relatives, our brothers and sisters... They are all like this, they are all dead..." Shi Meng muttered to himself in a low voice: "Immortality, immortality, immortality does not exist. If you ask for it, everyone will become a short-lived ghost..."
Wu Tie said nothing, just looked at Shi Meng, letting Shi Meng vent his emotions with words.
"Also, people within the Immortality Sect should have done these things. Everyone's essence and blood have been drained. There is no red at all in the plasma on the street, and all the essence has been drained away." Shi Meng He said in a deep voice: "We can't avenge this revenge... Deacon Xiaotie..."
Wu Tie looked at Shi Meng and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Shi Meng hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice with a hint of helplessness: "I really can't say this, but I said it shamelessly."
"I discussed with Lao Er and the others. All the valuable things in the Shi family's public treasury have been looted."
"But the Shi family has several small secret vaults in the mine tunnels outside. The Shi family's truly valuable things are all in them, including some rare herbs that are older and more powerful. They are all hidden in them."
"I'll give these things to you. It's good to have more travel expenses when you're away from home."
"We don't ask you to do anything, but if, hypothetically, just if, if you encounter them outside one day, and if you have the ability to do it, look at our Shi family and yours today. In this sense of affection..."
Shi Meng gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few dry words from the gap between his teeth: "Please, help us torture and kill them... We must not let them die too happily... It's my brother and we are begging you. .”
The corners of Shi Meng's eyes cracked open, and two lines of blood and tears flowed out.
He looked at Wu Tie and smiled miserably: "So many people, so many lives... not just our Shi family, but also the Lu family, the Yan family, and a dozen nearby families, adding up to millions of lives. ... How could they do this? How could they do this?"
The pores on Wu Tie's body were open, and cold air kept blowing out.
He was also curious about what kind of 'person' could do such a thing. How could they do it
Wu Tie said nothing, but reached out and patted Shi Meng's shoulder hard.
The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, and the corpses of the few elders who had been left behind were really ugly. Wu Tie led the witch out of the hall and stood outside the hall, quietly looking at a group of busy dwarves and gnomes.
After death, life goes on.
No matter how fucked up the era is, no matter how fucked up the world is, people always have to look forward.
Several main cities of the Shi family, as well as slave settlements outside the main city, were completely slaughtered, but deep in the mines, some mining slaves who were responsible for mining survived. The massacre didn't have time to search everywhere for these lucky ones.
The Shi family's reputation lies here. Shi Fei has been running around everywhere these days, recruiting a group of wild tribes to join the Shi family regardless of whether they are good or bad.
The huge Black Stone City has regained a little bit of its popularity, and there are busy dwarves and gnomes everywhere. They clean the streets and houses, burn garbage, bury ashes, and repair the damaged walls and houses...
The virtual sun above Black Stone City gradually brightened, and the light illuminated Black Stone City and the large plain outside Black Stone City.
Wu Tie looked up at the dome, guessing what kind of world was above the thick dome.
Does the spring rain and apricot blossom that Master Gray believes in really exist
Do the sea and starry sky that Lao Tie mentioned really exist
If those beautiful things once existed, then how did they appear in this world surrounded by thick rock formations? Why do all ethnic groups survive in this lifeless and dangerous rock world
Wu Tie stretched out his hand and tried hard to catch the light emitted by Xu Ri.
The light could not be grasped, and the large floating dust in the light was clearly visible. The extremely fine dust hovered near the hair on the back of Wu Tie's hand. Occasionally it fell on his hand, and more often it flew away with the wind. where.
Lao Bai panted and ran over. When he came to Wu Tie's side, he almost fell to the ground.
"Wu Tie, Wu Tie, didn't look for those two girls."
"Yu Mo is nowhere to be found, and Qing Yuan is nowhere to be seen either... But I haven't seen their bodies either."
"Everyone in the three major families has an impression of them. After all, Zhu Zixi protects them like that, and everyone recognizes them. In short, no one can be seen alive, and no corpses can be found dead... They must not be among the corpses found in Blackstone City. But. The bodies of Yu Mo’s four personal maids were found.”
"In the living room where Yu Mo lived, four girls were decapitated with one blow and died miserably. And there was blue ice left at the scene. It was very cold, very evil ice."
Lao Bai spread his hands, looked at Wu Tie and smiled bitterly: "Nuo, this kind of thing is very common. The two little girls were so beautiful that they were probably reluctant to kill them, so they were kidnapped to make warm blankets, or they were simply sold."
"Women, either find a living person or a dead person... If you don't see a living person or a dead person... then basically, they will be a hundred times, a thousand times worse than death..." Lao Bai spat on the ground. , cursed in a low voice: "This damn world, tsk, it's a pity that there are two pretty little girls."
Wu Tie raised his head and looked at the dome.
It seemed that he could not fulfill Zhu Zixi's dying instructions.
However, Wu Tie didn't have any psychological pressure. This was not his fault.
Zhu Zixi is his enemy, and Wu Tie is already worthy of Zhu Zixi if he can ask Lao Bai to send his rats and descendants to explore the whereabouts of Yu Mo and Qing Yuan.
"If you can find them, I will protect them. If you can't find them, I can't do anything." Wu Tie frowned and said solemnly to Lao Bai: "I'm going to leave the Cangyan Territory now. Lao Bai, help I'm going to show off to your fellow tribesmen..."
"I'll pay you a thousand gold snake stone gold coins, or a thousand longevity sect gold coins, to look for Yu Mo and Qing Yuan."
"Ask your tribesmen to help me keep an eye on it... The rat people in the world are all one family."
Lao Bai's eyes were reddened by the huge reward promised by Wu Tie.
But in an instant, Lao Bai looked at Wu Tie blankly: "Ah, you are about to leave the Cangyan Territory... so soon..."
