Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 276: dead city

Views:

Qianye listened attentively for a while, but there was no movement, he hesitated for a moment, then cautiously walked into the door slowly.

However, the scene he saw in front of him made him frown involuntarily.

The rooms and halls are very large and empty, without any furniture or decorations. The entire first floor is empty, there is nothing, even the walls are covered with bare rocks.

There is also mist everywhere in the building. Standing at the door of a slightly larger room, the wall on the other side will be a little blurry.

Qianye walked down the wide double-helix escalator, looked up, and there was silence everywhere. He climbed up the stairs, and the second and third floors were all like this, without any traces of living or living. When Qianye stood on the third floor, he couldn't hear any sound from the first floor.

He looked out from the French windows without curtains. Wherever he looked, there was mist everywhere, and only the outlines of the large buildings across the street could be vaguely seen.

Such a wet gray fog, the feeling that the world seemed to be limited under his feet reminded Qianye of something. His heart suddenly beat heavily, that dream! After getting the crystal fragment from Baron Darul, and when entering the Fallen Star Mountains, I heard a dream of a voice twice!

Qianye pondered for a moment, then quietly went downstairs. He then entered several buildings, and all he saw were empty rooms, and he couldn't find anything of value. Regardless of the size of the building, there is no exception.

At this time, Qianye suddenly felt restless and irritable, and his heart beat faster. He was startled suddenly, and then realized the source of his uneasiness.

The whole city was so quiet that only the sound of my own footsteps could be heard. In this extremely silent environment, all subtle sounds are continuously amplified, until later, the sounds of heartbeat and blood flow can be clearly heard. Walking alone in such a city, it seems that there is only one person left in the whole world. This kind of loneliness gradually becomes irresistible.

Qianye took a deep breath, thinking hard to relax his tense nerves.

This city is not small, at least tens of thousands of people can live in the scale seen from the outside. But although the streets and buildings are well preserved, there is no trace of living creatures. It was so clean, no litter, no dust, not even metal rust.

Time seemed to freeze at the moment when the new city was built.

Fortunately, the original wing was not blocked by the mist, it could still sense the position of the pupil of truth. But this is also what confused Qianye, the pupil of reality seemed to be constantly changing its position. Every time you get closer, the direction of the next perception will be different.

And no matter whether his pace is fast or slow, the position of the pupil of true seeing will be erratic at the next moment. It may get farther and farther away, and it will suddenly get closer. It seems that its movement is random and has no law at all.

After discovering this, Qianye no longer tried to catch up with the pupil of true seeing, casually walked into a building next to him, sat on the ground, and while breathing evenly to recover his original strength, he thought about the predicament in front of him.

In this city filled with mist, Qianye had actually lost his way. After following the guidance of the Primordial Wing, he turned around, and suddenly found that he couldn't even tell where he entered the city. The appearance of every building and every street around me is similar. Although there may be differences in details, it is difficult to find eye-catching reference objects in the case of limited vision.

After Qianye discovered this problem, he tried to leave a mark on the building. It's actually a bad idea, though, since he's still chasing two big enemies, and there are sure to be more to come. Once the mark left behind is seen through, it is equivalent to revealing one's whereabouts.

However, the enemy is still unknown, and Qianye was shocked to discover another strange place in this city, no matter what mark he left, it would slowly disappear in the fog. He even used his crimson teeth to carve a notch several centimeters deep on the metal decorative pattern on the wall, and then watched as the notch slowly healed until it disappeared.

Unknowingly, Qianye completed a cycle of origin force operation, and the full dawn force flowed through his blood, which lifted his spirits. Qianye drove all distracting thoughts out of his mind, opened the backpack, and began to check his equipment and items one by one, even taking apart the twin flowers for maintenance.

Then he lay down, closed his eyes, and silently counted from one to a thousand, a method of forced rest. When he counted to one thousand, Qianye jumped up, drew his knife in his hand, and left the room.

Since he couldn't find the pupil of true seeing, and couldn't see through the secrets of the empty and silent city, and couldn't even leave the city, at least there was one thing to do before him, and that was to kill the enemies who followed behind him.

In such an environment, if you do nothing, you will quickly descend into madness. But now, all he could do was kill.

At this time, dozens of blood clans and Li family fighters headed by Li Zhan gathered outside the city. They entered this space at different landing points, but no matter which terrain they came out of, they all saw the city standing on the field.

Several blood viscounts looked dignified and hesitated slightly. It's not because some of the companions are still missing, but the silent city in front of him is obviously the core of the space, the most likely place to store the treasure of Anduya's Blackwing King.

However, how could it be so easy to enter the hall of the terrifying Black Winged King.

If you observe carefully, you can see that the viscounts are covered with a faint blood light, obviously the blood power is circulating all the time. From time to time, wisps of white mist would appear in the void, falling on them and being neutralized by the blood light. When the viscounts passed through the space gate, they were under the pressure of this restriction, and nothing happened afterwards. They thought the crisis was over, but they didn't expect that the restriction would be triggered again just by standing at the gate of the city.

After standing quietly for a few minutes, a viscount said, "Let's go in, we don't have much time." He glanced at Li Zhan as he spoke.

The viscounts looked at each other, showing helpless and bitter expressions, and nodded.

The strength of that human being is no lower than any of the viscounts present, but from Li Zhan's rigid face, it is impossible to see whether he is also under the pressure of the space restriction. If it falls into the hands of human beings, it will end up worse than death after getting out.

The warriors of the blood race and the human race filed in, and were immediately engulfed by the mist of the city.

Qianye walked on the deserted streets. He now lost both his direction and his sense of time. If it weren't for the support of the target that ambushed the enemy, perhaps the restlessness in my heart would multiply by multiples.

For an unknown amount of time, Qianye had the illusion that he could walk to the end of the world just like this. He passed another street corner, stopped suddenly, and listened intently, but there was still no sound, but the inexplicable trembling feeling before the battle indicated that something was approaching.

Qianye immediately calmed down, and quickly leaned against the wall, waiting.

A blood warrior rushed out of the mist, bent over, with a long sword in one hand and a short spear in the other, and was on full alert, scanning his surroundings vigilantly.

When Qianye saw him clearly, the blood warrior also saw Qianye at the same time, and the distance between the two was less than ten meters.

The blood warrior reacted extremely quickly, with a roar, he did not retreat but advanced, and pounced with all his strength. At this distance, shooting is too late, and close combat requires a first move.

Coincidentally, Qianye thought so too.

Qianye's body bowed slightly, and suddenly exerted strength, rushing towards the blood warrior like a cannonball, and the two immediately collided head-on.

With a bang, the blood warrior flew backwards, and a cold light flashed in Qianye's hand, in fact, the Crimson Fang had already cut three strikes.

The blood warrior flew more than ten meters, slammed into the building on the opposite side of the street, then slipped slowly, fell to the ground, unable to stand up again, blood continued to spread from under him.

Qianye walked up to the blood warrior who had gradually stopped breathing, and was about to check his belongings, but halfway through his hand, he retracted it like lightning.

Under the blood warrior, blood was still pouring out, but when it spread one meter away, it gradually disappeared. The ground of the street is paved with boulders, the surface is polished as smooth as a mirror, and even the joints are almost invisible, how can it be easily seeped by blood

At this moment, the body of the lifeless blood warrior moved.

He had fallen against the wall and left a shocking bloodstain on the wall. But now, right in front of Qianye's eyes, that body was slowly sinking into the wall and the ground.

Not long after, the blood warrior's body was completely swallowed up, leaving not even a trace of blood on the ground or walls. In this world, there is no trace that can prove that this blood warrior once existed.

For an instant, Qianye only felt creepy.

Just now, this empty dead city quietly revealed its hideous side.

Qianye squatted down slowly, reaching out to touch the ground. Right here, there was a puddle of blood just now. But now, there are only cold stone bricks at the tentacles.

Qianye stood up, exhaled lightly, shook the Crimson Fang in his hand, and walked in a random direction.

After walking two blocks this time, a small square appeared in front of him, and the fog seemed to be relatively thin in the open area, so a dark shadow appeared faintly. This figure Qianye is very familiar with, it is Li Zhan who was attacked by him once.

Qianye had been restraining his breath all the time, and at the moment, he deliberately controlled his feet and hands not to make the slightest sound. He slowly pulled out the twin flowers with his left hand, pointing to the back in front of him.

The moment Qianye pulled the trigger, Li Zhan seemed to feel something, suddenly took a step across, then turned around like the wind, and fired the gun like lightning, raising his hand to shoot.

The crimson force bullet almost brushed against Li Zhan's chest, and at the same time as Li Zhan turned around, Qianye also dodged in an instant, also dodging Li Zhan's shot.

The two emptied bullets entered the fog, maybe they touched the building, maybe they didn't, but they didn't make any sound anyway.

The two confronting each other didn't pay attention to such weird details, they were all focused on each other.

Li Zhan looked at Qianye with a solemn expression at first, then he smiled grimly and said, "I finally caught you."
