It is not far from the entrance of the space to the ancient city, and soon, the magnificent granite city wall is close at hand.
The collapse of the different space is not uniform in all directions. On the other side of the city, the collapse has spread to nearly one-third of the urban area, but the collapse process at the entrance of the space is obviously much slower. Up to now, this section of the city wall is still intact , and even a part of the area outside the city is still in a stable state. It has to be said that this state has saved Hao Ren and his party a lot of trouble, preventing them from walking through dangerous and fragmented cracks.
"...It does have the atmosphere of that era," Vivienne looked up at the towering city wall, "It's just that it's hard to tell which mythical city-state it belongs to from the style. I don't have the slightest impression."
Lily glanced at Vivian: "Don't you claim to be a living fossil from the age of mythology? How come you don't know about it?"
"In the age of mythology, there are too many cities that flourished for a short time and then disappeared quietly. Even I can't know all of them." Vivienne shook her head. "At that time, human beings were still at an extremely low level of productivity. Mythological monsters and ferocious beasts are rampant, and the living environment is extremely dangerous. At that time, almost all the establishment of such a magnificent city relied on the protection and guidance of some alien, that is, the ancient "gods", although those "ancient gods" usually only wanted to make themselves They can live comfortably, and they all practice brutal rule, but it must be admitted that without them, there would be no such magnificent cities. It’s just that the ancient city built in this way also has its own huge shortcomings... "
Y'zaks took over the following words: "Once the 'god' worshiped by the city dies, the city will be over."
Vivienne nodded: "Besides, the fights between different types will also cause this kind of city-state to disappear overnight, so even I don't know how many ancient cities like this have disappeared in the long river of history, especially in the The barbaric era where mythic wars were at their most intense."
"Ahem, let's talk about the history class after we enter the city." Hao Ren coughed twice and interrupted Vivienne's science introduction. "This space is collapsing, and we don't have much time."
"Where is the city gate?" Vivienne looked at Heather Anna, "Where did you enter from?"
The little bat spirit pointed to a gap in the city wall: "It's from the gap over there. As for the city gate, I don't know where it is, because the situation inside is weird, and my two subordinates got out after a while. .”
Hao Ren nodded, put away the explosive device he had just taken out, and led the team to the gap in the city wall.
"... Strange, it looks like it was broken from the inside," Yizaks has rich combat experience, so he judged the situation of the gap in an instant from the collapsed state of the city walls around the gap and the direction of the falling rubble, " Look at these positions, they all collapsed from the inside out."
Hao Ren frowned: "Didn't it be breached by foreign enemies?"
"I'm afraid there is some 'thing' in the city," Vivienne said in a deep voice, "This kind of thing is not uncommon in the age of mythology. The two cities of Gaaradia and Gudaro are because of the anger summoned during the sacrifice." The spirit was destroyed by the impact from the inside out. Let's be more careful when we go in, if it is really something like a wrath spirit, there may still be some of it left in the city."
Everyone checked their protective spells and equipment, and even Rolled licked his paws earnestly. Then, under the leadership of Hao Ren and Vivian, everyone carefully stepped over the gap in the city wall.
The moment he stepped over the gap in the city wall, Hao Ren noticed that the surrounding environment was slightly darkened, and then a faint red light curtain enveloped the surroundings as if appearing out of thin air, coating the surrounding scenery with a thin layer of blood.
He couldn't help looking up, but he saw that the sky hadn't changed much. The chaotic boundary of the different space was still tumbling and surging, and countless quicksand-like huge vortexes were swirling in the chaos and gradually devouring this space. No light source was seen emerging, and the surrounding light red light curtains appeared directly in the air like passive light.
"Is this the red light curtain that your two subordinates were talking about?" He turned to look at Heather Anna.
The little bat spirit nodded nervously: "That's it. People will lose physical strength unconsciously under the red light curtain, and may gradually lose their sanity. It is almost fatal to humans, but the blood race can be life-threatening after injury I noticed something wrong before."
The moment Lily appeared on the red light curtain, the fur on her ears and tail blew up. The strong intuition of the beast had already made her feel that there was danger in the red light: "Let's not go any further, let's figure out what the red light is here. Let’s talk about what’s going on. Landlord, do you see any equipment that can block it?”
Hao Ren glanced at his feet and found that no one could see shadows under their feet, even the surrounding buildings and collapsed stone piles. He tested it with his left hand on his right arm, and found that the shadows could not be produced either. Shadow: "This light is weird. It can either pass through various obstacles, or it can be everywhere, just like the self-illumination of the air."
"If it can pass through all obstacles, then we can't see it," the data terminal said suddenly, "because then it will not be reflected or absorbed by any surface, even when it enters the eye. All go straight through without being captured by the visual organs."
Lily blinked: "So it's everywhere? What the hell is this?"
A thought flashed through Hao Ren's mind, but before he could say anything, he heard Vivienne's voice coming from the front, with a low and erratic tone: "It's the moonlight."
"Moonlight?" Lily's ears perked up all of a sudden, "Bat, can you stop talking in such a goddamn tone, why do I feel so hairy..."
Vivienne turned around, she had already released her vampire power, her eyes were as bright red as if soaked in blood, and a faint red mist enveloped her, as if blending with the surrounding red light curtain: "It's the red moon's Light—this city is shrouded in a red moon, or in other words, once illuminated by a red moon."
Several people were shocked immediately, and Hao Ren was the first to react: "Red moon? Is it the kind of red moon you summoned?"
"There is only one 'Red Moon' with supernatural power on this planet, and that is my power," Vivienne nodded, "This layer of light has been extremely weakened and mutated, but I still noticed it just now. My breath... this is undoubtedly the light of the red moon."
Lily's already fluffy tail seemed to grow bigger in an instant: "Bat, don't scare people! There is no moon in the sky! And you were not here before, how can there be moonlight here!"
"I can't explain it, but there is indeed moonlight left here," Vivienne shook her head, "I have never seen a moonlight that remains after the red moon disappears, but my red moon itself is beyond comprehension Things, even beyond my own understanding... so just accept this established fact."
Under the red moon, the moonlight is everywhere—Hao Ren silently recited this famous sentence in his heart, which is known to everyone among aliens and demon hunters, and then raised his head: "So this city must be covered by the red moon." The moon has shrouded - Vivian, don't you have any impression of this?"
Vivienne's attitude was very positive: "I have no impression at all."
Hao Ren: "... Well, it seems it's your memory problem again..."
"Then it's time to make a decision," Y'zaks said gruffly. "It's definitely not a good idea to act under the light of the red moon. We either need to get out first, or we have to find a way to block these things if we want to move forward." Moonlight—my demonic rune shield can't stop it."
"The moonlight has weakened a lot. It should be that the energy has slowly dissipated due to the passage of time." Vivienne looked at Hao Ren, "I can continue to act in the moonlight, and you and others should be able to use the shield if they open up." Persist for hours to a day."
Hao Ren thought for a while, and finally sighed: "Oh...it's okay, I have a stronger shield, which can ensure that everyone can move freely under the moonlight."
As he spoke, he calmed down under the curious gazes of the crowd, and with a tragic expression on his face, he began to communicate with his gods and perform magical arts.
A moment later, a group of people walked into the depths of the city wearing the sacred shields with the words "My mother covers you" and "My mother covers you by the way".
Vivian also comforted her all the way: "Hao Ren, don't pay too much attention to this. Skills and the like just need to work. How many skills in the Age of Mythology have domineering names and powerful effects? Is it dead? The big move will make you die quickly, and practicality is the kingly way... "
Hao Ren: "Let's not talk about whether it's gorgeous or not. Have you ever heard of someone whose skills have barrage?"
Vivian: "..."
The whole audience probably just rolled away. She was really heartless and very happy. All the way, she was very curious about the "light shell" that suddenly appeared around her. In the past, the words "my old lady will cover you by the way", just like every qualified cat, they played with themselves very happily.
Seeing Gun's heartless appearance, Hao Ren couldn't help but let out another sigh: "Oh..."
Hesianna tried her best to ignore the barrage texts floating in front of her. To be honest, she would not be willing to venture out with such a silly thing if she had a way, but the situation is better than people. A layer of shields can really resist the negative forces in the ancient city 100%, so she can only accept the reality. What she is most grateful for now is that her two subordinates are waiting outside, so that the matter of this shield will not be spread.
The little bat spirit walked forward while turning these messy thoughts in his mind, and at the same time carefully guarded the old and lifeless buildings around him.
There is a desolate and dead atmosphere in the ancient city made of huge stones, which is as unsettling as every relic from the age of mythology. From the other end of the city, there are continuous vague sounds of buildings collapsing and space collapsing. Coupled with the huge swirling quicksand vortexes in the sky, everything here is very depressing. Even Hesiana, who has been fearless since she was a child, still feels hairy when walking here.
She always felt that something was lurking in this city, and it was staring at her.
Where everyone walked, the streets and alleys were silent, and the air currents carried the sand and dust between the ruins and flew around, covering the whole street with a hazy layer of dust.
In the dust cloud, a huge shadow whose details are difficult to discern slowly emerged, but then disappeared in a flash.
The dust is still rolling, leaving no trace.
