There were traces of people's activities in the town of Ashes. Tianyang and Xingluo secretly observed and found that they were members of the Thunder Council. They were collecting various information in the town and recovering things they thought were valuable.
There was no longer any threat from the illegal immigrants, so the parliament only sent a mercenary group for protection. That mercenary group had a strong aura, and those who were rated as "not weak" by Tianyang usually had a combat power of level 6.
After these few days of contact, Tianyang has a certain understanding of the Thunder Council's force structure. The Thunder Council is actually a large mercenary group. Every member, including the speaker, controls multiple mercenary groups. Even members like Gong Zhibin, who are businessmen, have several mercenary groups, not to mention other people.
The Thunder Council brings together many mercenary groups. In terms of military strength alone, it is indeed the best in the Wasteland City. No wonder they have become the largest organization in the city.
Tianyang did not alarm the recycling team and quietly left the town with Xingluo.
After leaving the town, except for the direction of the Clave Gate, other places were unknown areas that the Council had not yet explored. Tianyang picked a direction at random, and he and Xingluo walked quickly, skimming across the vast land of the Reverse Realm.
After running for half a day, the two were already a hundred kilometers away from the "Ashes Town". During the journey, they occasionally encountered those hunched-backed stupid black people, but other than that, they did not encounter any other monsters.
Although it was dark and without light, Tianyang, with the help of his connection with the black fog, still had a certain understanding of the land he passed by on the way here.
This land is uninhabited. There are steep mountains to the north. From time to time, red light flashes behind the mountains, illuminating the mountain ridges.
They also passed a small river that meandered out of the darkness and flowed to no one knew where.
There is no life in the river, and even the river water itself is gray and turbid, which is obviously not suitable for drinking directly.
In addition to the river, Tianyang also saw forests, forests formed by twisted trees, extending in patches to the south. Near each tree there were one or two corpses clinging to the tree, and those things had grown together with the plants, becoming indistinguishable from each other.
If every strange tree in the forest was like this, then there would probably be millions of corpses in the forest.
Tianyang and Xingluo did not enter the forest. They passed by the forest and entered a valley. There was a crescent-shaped lake in the center of the valley, but the lake was full of bubbling dark green liquid, emitting a sulfur-like stench.
Walking out of the valley, there is a woodland. Most of the trees here are short, with a few taller trees. Those trees are all blood red, and liquid oozes out of the surface of the trees from time to time, as if blood is flowing.
There are also black people hanging on those blood trees, mostly "red puppets". These black people have their bodies pierced by the branches of the blood trees, like bacon hung up to dry.
But the black people did not die. Some struggled hard to get out of the blood tree, while others seemed exhausted and only moved after a while.
It seems that the blood tree is sucking the blood from these black people. This process will be quite long, so the black people hanging on the tree did not die immediately.
Tianyang was far away, studying a blood tree, when he suddenly heard a series of howling sounds in the forest.
At the same time, he felt that there were a large number of black people in the forest chasing the same target. He was very surprised and released the "Dark Breathing" to summon black fog, which enveloped him and Xing Luo, then jumped onto the low trees and approached the direction of the howling sound.
At this time, strange lights or dark red flames like blood would occasionally burst out from the dark forest.
When Tianyang chased after it, he saw a forest of trees being knocked down, among which there was a blood tree with red liquid flowing out, it was catching a few black people, but there were at least dozens of black people of various kinds around it.
Among them, there is a black creature that looks like a spider, with a spiral-patterned carapace covering its tail, which is curled up.
It had eight human-like arms and two human-like legs. This strange black creature turned in a circle and used its spiral shell to move towards the blood tree.
Suddenly, the snail-like part split open in the middle, and the eight arms started to grab things in all directions, stuffing everything they caught, even the black creatures, into the opened shell.
The carapace closes and the two human legs stand up, allowing the carapace to adjust its angle and aim at the blood tree.
boom!
A mass of black stuff suddenly spurted out of the shell and hit the blood tree like a cannonball. With the flames and lightning all around, Tianyang saw that it was a mass of flesh and blood that was randomly blended together, with tiny whiskers flying on its surface.
The flesh and blood shell hit the blood tree, and the blood and blood splashed with a "pop" sound, landing in various places on the blood tree.
The flesh and blood quickly turned black and seeped into the blood tree. The surface of the blood tree immediately rotted, as if it had been severely polluted and eroded.
Moreover, the pollution from the flesh and blood shells spread rapidly like a plague, and every part of the blood tree quickly turned black. In less than a minute, the tree was completely black, rotten, collapsed, and cracked on the ground.
The black people around stayed away, not daring to approach the rotten tree, and stayed away from the "spider" with human hands and legs.
At this moment, a torrent of energy erupted in front of him, and in that torrent, countless limbs of the black people fell down like rain.
Tianyang immediately set off and sneaked to the nearby area, where he saw a fierce battle breaking out. Groups of black people were attacking a gray, petite figure in an orderly manner.
The figure looked like a little human girl of about eight or nine years old, with long grey hair tied into a ponytail with some blood-colored tendons. A hideous mask covered the side of her face, and two red lines extended down from under her dark eye sockets, like two lines of tears crossing the grey mask.
The mask has a row of raised, closed fangs, which open from time to time and then spray out a stream of black fire.
The mask and the creature's face seemed to be grown together. The little thing had some baby fat and dark red eyes, and was wearing a cloak made of some unknown black people's skin.
This thing covered most of its body. It stretched out a slender arm from its cloak, and that arm was covered with shiny black insect shells. But on its small human-like hand, it held a sword that seemed to be made from some part of the body of some black people.
Although the creature that was besieged by the black people was small in size, its fighting power was not weak at all. It moved like the wind, and the black people's bodies were easily cut off with the machete.
Even the red puppet with bone armor could not withstand the attack of that little thing.
The black fire spewed out by the mask on its face was quite sticky and could not be extinguished. Even after the black people were burned to death, it still burned tenaciously, thus becoming obstacles everywhere, preventing the pursuing black people from getting close.
At this time, the little thing jumped into the air, shook its head slightly, and the mask on the side of its face suddenly moved to the center. Two dark red flames suddenly spurted out of the originally dark and empty eye sockets.
The protruding fangs on the mask opened up and down, revealing the human-like mouth of the creature inside.
Let out a silent howl.
Suddenly, an invisible pressure appeared in the woods, and the pursuing black people fell to the ground one after another, unable to get up.
At this time, the little thing in the air fell towards a tree next to it, and was about to use the force to bounce away from this place.
Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly shot out from the short tree. The figure was human-like, with a deer-like skull on his head, bone armor growing on his hands and body, and thick black hair growing on other parts of his body.
This creature held a spear wrapped with strands of green electricity in its hand. It stabbed forward with the spear, and a dark green energy torrent burst out from the tip of the spear, forcing the grayish-white creature to raise its sword to block, and then its figure fell back into the woods.
The next second, the two humanoids were already fighting each other, with gun shadows and knife lights intersecting, green electricity and black flames intersecting...
After observing for a while, Tianyang did not disturb them and quietly retreated with Xingluo.
The two humanoid creatures were quite powerful, but they did not meet Tianyang's 'requirements'.
After leaving the forest and walking for several more hours, when Tianyang walked out of a canyon, he saw a city.
The city outside the canyon, seen from afar, had countless palaces, towering spires, and majestic and continuous city walls. Those buildings were magnificent, stacked one on top of another, and surrounded each other.
There are twinkling crimson lights in the city. They are like stars falling down to the earth, falling into the city, thus illuminating the city in the darkness.
Looking at the magnificent city, Tianyang felt a sense of epic and myth in his heart.
From the epic capital in the distance, faint roars could be heard from time to time, and it was obvious that this was not an empty city. Before it slipped into the eternal night, this city should have been prosperous.
But now, it has become a den of black people.
In that city, Tianyang vaguely felt a sense of oppression, and his intuition told him that there was some powerful existence in that mythical capital.
"The battlefield... found it." Tianyang whispered softly.
Ding... Ding... Ding.
At this time, a low bell rang in the distant city, and then a dark mass of things flew up from the city, circling the city for several circles before falling in like a dark cloud, disappearing into every corner of the city... ...
... ... ... .
Scavenger city.
As night fell, the lights outside the window gradually brightened, illuminating Qiong Wu's face.
At this moment, he stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at himself in the mirror.
In the mirror was a middle-aged man with thick black hair, which was combed back one strand at a time, revealing a smooth forehead.
The lines on his face were as sharp as if cut by a knife, and his eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.
His body was tall and straight, and every muscle contained tremendous strength. The scars on his body seemed to bear witness to his past of blood and fire.
This was him when he was around forty years old. Although his actual age was over sixty, by the time he reached Rank 7, he was already able to control his physical condition and keep his body at the stage he wanted.
In fact, Qiong Wu would rather stay in his thirties, but that stage lacks majesty. The current state is just right, a stage where he has both strength and majesty.
At this time, someone outside the door said hoarsely: "Sir, dinner is ready."
