No.

The strange beasts have no weaknesses.

Or it can be said that even the residual soul in the sword could not find the weakness of the strange beast.

No wonder the gorgeous coffin didn't stop it this time.

Because he knew that Feng Wujiang could not answer this question.

To be honest, Feng Wujiang's answer made Ning Fan feel a little disappointed.

There must be a fifth-level strange beast outside the wall that reaches the top.

Although Ning Fan had never seen it, it was confirmed by many people.

The fifth-level alien beast is equivalent to the strength of humans at the [Ten Thousand Souls Level].

Moreover, there is a high probability that there is more than one of these fifth-level monsters.

In other words, if they really want to fight against the alien beasts, they must match the corresponding [Ten Thousand Souls Level] combat power.

[Ten Thousand Souls Level] Ah!

So far, Ning Fan has only heard of Su Wanjun and the mysterious old man in District H who have reached this level.

Oh, and there’s also Qi Huan who possesses special abilities.

But now two of them have died together, leaving the old man from District H. Ning Fan doesn't know how much combat effectiveness he can still retain.

If you want to go to the upper city, you must pass through the habitat of the strange beasts.

If he couldn't get through, it would be useless even if Ning Fan knew that his broken sword was the [key] to open the upper city gate.

"They won't actively attack people from the upper city."

Ning Fan, unwilling to give up, told Feng Wujiang the information he had obtained: "Do you know the reason?"

Feng Wujiang knew what Ning Fan meant by the people from Upper City.

He only considered it for a moment before asking softly, "It's not that they won't attack, but they can't adapt."

Ning Fan was stunned.

"breath."

Feng Wujiang said slowly: "The people in the upper city you mentioned still retain the aura of their master."

Ning Fan felt that some of his previously confused thoughts suddenly became clear.

Light!

This is the light Su Wanjun has been chasing!

In reality, Su Wanjun was heading in the wrong direction.

The so-called light is actually the strange beast's intuition of its master's breath.

Although they are free from the control of their masters, they still retain a trace of fear.

It’s not that the strange beasts won’t attack the people in the upper city, but they won’t attack first unless the people in the upper city actively pose a threat to them.

This has been verified by both Xu Jiang and Lu Yiming.

It's like the relationship between humans and dogs.

Although the dog's fangs are sharp, it has not forgotten the instinctive memory of being suppressed by its owner.

If the owner does not take away the dog's food, the dog will not easily show its teeth to the owner.

Even though the dog clearly has the ability to bite its owner to death.

This also explains why the people who were left in the lower city were able to survive and even had the opportunity to build the [Top Wall]!

However, as these people who were left behind took root in the lower city and passed it down from generation to generation, the "master's aura" in them gradually disappeared.

Those strange beasts could no longer "smell" the scent of their masters from them.

Over time, the identities of those born in the downtown area gradually evolved from "masters" to "food."

And if this guess is correct, it means something else.

In fact, the people in the upper city are fully capable of taking the people in the lower city away.

only……

They don't want to.

They don't want to take the risk of doing this.

On the other hand, the lower city has enough "food" to supply the strange beasts, which will provide them with a more stable living space.

"Then you once..."

Ning Fan had just said half of his words when he felt his vision go dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in his own bed.

woke up.

Ning Fan opened his eyes, somewhat surprised.

He was sure that Feng Wujiang did not try to kill him.

This seemed to be the first time that he didn't wake up because he was killed.

It was probably because he had too many questions, which caused dissatisfaction from the gorgeous coffin, so he took the initiative to invite him out.

Even though he was somewhat unwilling, for Ning Fan, the information he got this time was enough for him to summarize for a while.

When Wen Cai saw Ning Fan wake up, she turned over and hugged him.

"Awake?"

"Well, did it bother you?"

Ning Fan gently stroked her hair, then sat up: "You sleep a little longer, I'll go cook."

"No!"

Wen Cai immediately sobered up a bit: "Today... I want to go out for something to eat..."

"Oh, sure."

Ning Fan was a little itchy, but since his wife wanted to go out for dinner, he didn't refuse.

Ning Fan was a little absent-minded for the whole morning.

He suddenly received a large amount of indirect information, causing him to enter a state of uncontrollable thinking.

And Wen Cai didn't bother him too much.

After all, Ning Fan did give her enough companionship during this month, and she was content.

Ning Fan's current position and the responsibilities he has to bear will inevitably make it impossible for him to maintain his previous ease for long.

While eating, Ning Fan looked at the steak on the plate, thinking as he ate.

Suddenly, Ning Fan stopped moving.

He thought of something very important.

This broken sword of his is the [Key].

At present, Ning Fan cannot be sure whether this [key] is the sword itself or the eight residual souls inside.

But no matter which possibility it is, there is one thing that cannot be avoided.

That is, this cocoon is the key to leaving the upper city.

Feng Wujiang gave him a lot of information, but Ning Fan had never heard of most of this information from other people.

Even people in high positions like Xia Qing and Su Wanjun don't really know the specific situation of the upper and lower cities.

Most of them also rely on a method similar to the blind men and the elephant to sort out fragmented information, and then combine it with their own guesses to judge the real situation.

However, there is one person who seems to have some knowledge of that history.

The [Ten Thousand Souls Level] in Region H.

He is looking for a coffin.

To put it another way, will he...

Are you looking for the [key]?

Ning Fan was almost certain that the eight residual souls in the sword were all victims left behind that year.

And in that era, there must be someone who knew about this matter.

But as time goes by, these histories will gradually be buried.

Unless, some families that truly have the ability to inherit may have the opportunity to pass on this information.

More importantly, if Region H is really looking for the [Key], does it mean that they know how to pass through the habitat of the strange beast?

They were not on the [Top Wall] and were far away from those strange beasts.

So how did they learn about these strange beasts?

A shocking yet reasonable guess appeared in Ning Fan's mind.

In the H region, the [Ten Thousand Souls Level] surnamed Li might be from the same force that created the strange beasts...

Descendants!
