The City of Eternal Life is quite a large city. At least with normal human footsteps, it would be impossible to visit the streets of the entire city for a few days or nights. Compared with it, the urban area that Ye Xu manages in Despair City is nothing at all.
However, Ye Xu's urban area will become bigger, maybe it will be expanded to a large extent in the future.
Since you can't walk alone, you have to think of other ways. Ye Xu can transform into a dragon and fly extremely fast, the other two people don't have this ability. However, people also have other methods.
"Let's control the sword." He Fengshuang took out a special flying sword, "The disciples in the foundation period can already fly with the sword, which saves time and effort."
Du Zhanyue has no objection, Yujian may be difficult for someone like Ye Xu who is new to cultivation games, but for old fritters like them, it is a piece of cake. Originally, they were still worried about what would happen if Ye Xu didn't know how to control the sword, so they should learn on the spot. Now that Ye Xu can solve the problem by himself, there is nothing to worry about.
However, when Ye Xu transformed into a pair of huge membranous wings, they were still stunned for a full minute.
Didn't you say it's good to become a dragon
"This is Dragon Wing." Ye Xu thought there was nothing wrong with it.
"Dragon still has wings?" The two were shocked.
Ye Xu: "... Western Dragon."
"Oh… "
I have been in comprehension games for a long time, and all I see are Chinese-style things, and I have long forgotten that there are Western things. When you mention the West to them, their first reaction is not European and American, but—the group of bald donkeys in the west!
No way, there are no Western missionaries in the cultivation setting, only the master monks from the Western Paradise. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has existed since ancient times, and players rarely get random Buddhist identity (after all, everyone does not want to play a game and be forced to become a monk), so the characters they get are either against the monk, or they are politically friendly with the monk.
But swaggering and flying around was too blatant, so they used invisibility. Ye Xu has his own invisibility technique, and the other two still use spells from the cultivation world.
Although the original body may not have learned this stuff in the settings, but after so many years of struggling in comprehension games, a mere invisibility technique is still not a problem. Ye Xu was quite interested in these small spells, but when he thought that he still had so many spells waiting to be learned, he stopped thinking about learning them.
Even if he wanted to learn it, he would have to wait until he had a thorough understanding of the Temple of Time and Space before considering learning anything else.
After increasing the speed, Ye Xu's search efficiency was greatly improved. They plan to scan the whole thing first to see if there is anything wrong.
Since the matter in this city can be resolved, there must be a key node. The three of Ye Xu and the others came to the conclusion that even if the whole city has been repeating things for a certain period of time, there should always be a place that will not be "reset", and it will continue to go down as time goes by. As long as you find this, you have a breakthrough point.
Of course, this is just a guess. It's just that they couldn't think of a more reliable guess, so they took it as the truth for the time being.
However, just sweeping the whole city like this, there is actually no way to tell which place the time is passing all the time, only to compare it with the past. Fortunately, all three of them have the ability to remember things more or less because of their blood and spiritual cultivation. It is not particularly difficult for them to work together to remember things about a city, otherwise this plan will definitely not work .
It took them a whole day to sweep around.
The foundation building period has already been bigu, so there is no need to consider the issue of food. But after doing the work at night, Ye Xu still ran out to have dinner, he had no choice but to get used to it.
The other two have long forgotten about eating, which is the disadvantage of cultivating for a long time. If you don't eat three meals for a long time, you have long forgotten the joy of tasting food.
"The time should be reset tomorrow, let's find a place to rest."
Once it was completely dark, there were hardly any people on the street. The bustling streets during the day now look inexplicably eerie. There was nothing but the lantern hanging in front of the door, which was still shining, providing light for people in the dark.
Ye Xu looked at those lanterns and felt something was wrong: "Isn't it good to hang white lanterns in front of the door?"
"Huh? White lanterns?" I haven't eaten for a long time, and today I suddenly ate delicious food, so He Fengshuang, who had been having a heartless and foolish joy, immediately woke up, "Don't tell me I haven't found out that it is actually a white lantern!"
Ye Xu didn't quite understand those customs and taboos: "Are there any taboos about white lanterns?"
"of course."
Du Zhanyue also frowned: "White lanterns are only hung at home for funerals."
Ye Xu was silent.
What does it mean that every household hangs white lanterns? It means that every family dies.
Judging from the background of the dungeon, I am afraid that the white lantern is reminding them that there are no living people here. Everyone in each family is dead, and they live in the form of ghosts. Lost the memory of death and infinite reincarnation during the day, and remembered it all at night.
Who stipulates that eternal life can only be the eternal life of living people? Ghosts live forever, which is also a kind of eternal life.
He Fengshuang immediately shivered: "So, there are a lot of ghosts in the house? Let's find a place to rest quickly, and don't come out to wander around in the middle of the night..."
It's so scary, they broke into a ghost town, it's full of ghosts, just thinking about it gives him goosebumps.
Du Zhanyue looked at his unpromising appearance, but it was rare that he didn't laugh at him. Because, she is also a little afraid of ghosts.
The two looked at Ye Xu in unison. This boss who came out of a horror game must be more useful than them.
Ye Xu: "..." He told the truth that he was very afraid of ghosts, would anyone believe it
Judging by the looks of these two people, they probably won't believe it. Ye Xu resigned himself to the courage of the team and assumed the banner, although he was also a little guilty.
Fortunately, they quickly found an inn. Although the inn was closed, it didn't affect anything. They got in directly through the open window on the second floor, left a few silver ingots on the table, and requisitioned the room with peace of mind.
It's just that they are afraid of ghosts, so the three of them decided not to disperse and share a room with each other, and just let it go together. Anyway, meditation can replace sleep for practitioners, and the only one who needs sleep is Ye Xu.
They quickly arranged for Ye Xu to sleep on the bed and the other two people sat on the chairs to meditate, because they wanted to hug the thigh of Ye Xu, a big boss of horror games, so they had to feel wronged and gave up the bed to the big boss.
Ye Xu accepted their kindness with complicated emotions, but he actually rejected it in his heart. He would rather sleep on the table for one night, in exchange for him not being the leader of the night.
"Close the window, lest anything come in." Du Zhanyue said looking at the window they had just entered.
He Fengshuang got up immediately: "I'll do it."
He walked up to the window in a hurry, and was about to close the window when something flew in. A big lump, black, directly knocked He Fengshuang down, and the two sides rolled into a ball.
Ye Xu, who saw what was coming, was silent for a while, and stepped forward to pull them up.
It was a man, and a stranger at that. However, he wears a player ring, not a ghost.
He Fengshuang was quite frightened, but fortunately he has practiced self-control after so many years of playing, otherwise he would have to scream just now, and maybe a group of nearby ghosts will be attracted to watch the excitement.
"You..." He Fengshuang moved away from the source of danger, "Can you watch before you enter the door?!"
The other party apologized repeatedly in embarrassment: "I left in a hurry and didn't see if there was anyone inside. I'm really sorry."
While tossing here, two more people swished in. The two who came this time were the men who Ye Xu had met before, from the Dongxuan Sect and the Taiji Sect.
The remaining bumper man who had never seen him before should be the last Lintian Sect disciple. But it seems that the relationship between them is not that good, Lin Tianzong obviously doesn't talk to the other two.
"Don't follow me all the time." He couldn't help complaining, "How many times have I told you that I don't want to form an alliance with you, it's fine for me to be alone."
Are the players of comprehension games so enthusiastic and familiar? You must pull people to form an alliance. When he was playing the escape game, not to mention that the players formed alliances with each other, few players were willing to give others a good face.
The disciples of Lintian Sect couldn't help sighing, this is really a game advocating truth, goodness and beauty. Unfortunately, he is a lone ranger, and he likes to play alone.
The three of Ye Xu didn't want to get involved in their internal conflicts, so they immediately occupied the not-so-big bed, leaving only a few chairs for the other three.
Even if there are two more people on the bed, it will not affect Ye Xu's sleep. Ye Xu lay down comfortably against the wall, and there was enough space left for a row of people.
He Fengshuang watched the play with relish, and after their disputes were over and nothing was resolved, and no one took a step back, he looked curiously at the Lintian Sect disciples.
"Why didn't you gather at the center this morning?"
The other party rolled his eyes: "How did I know that I was going to gather in the middle? Did you all make appointments in advance? Also, why should I gather with you? I have been fighting alone for most of the day, and I don't think I need teammates that much."
He Fengshuang suddenly had nothing to say, okay, as long as you are happy. Anyway, it doesn't matter to him whether the other people are allied or not, and they won't deal with these people much in order to do missions together in the future. It's fine if you don't drive people out to sleep on the street.
It's just that He Fengshuang was a little embarrassed and insisted on asking them why they didn't go to the next room by themselves. It's better for the two teams not to live together so closely.
Unexpectedly, the other party stated confidently that he was afraid of the dark and ghosts, so he wanted to stay in a crowded place.
He Fengshuang: "..."
Well, he hasn't seen anyone more brazen than him in years. Said that he was afraid of ghosts and still spoke so proudly, why are you so proud of being afraid of ghosts? Look at the boss from the horror game next to him, he is not proud yet!
Du Zhanyue stared at them vigilantly, preventing this group of people from running to hug his thigh after knowing Ye Xu's identity. The position of the leg pendant is limited, and it cannot be snatched by outsiders.
At this time, Ye Xu slept as soon as he touched the bed, and couldn't stop the bloody storm outside.
Why do you say that there are so many ghosts outside, how can you still sleep? Brother Ye has seen many things like ghosts. If he can't sleep because of ghosts, then he won't be able to sleep when he downloads dungeons in the future.
His calmness infected the two leg pendants, and the two of them were obviously not as flustered as before, and they were able to calm down and meditate to recover their energy, instead of constantly guessing whether there would be ghosts coming to scare people later.
