Ning Fan had already returned to the interior of the [Top Wall] surrounded by everyone.
Just as everyone had guessed before, after the humans retreated to the [Top Wall], the strange beasts did not launch any fierce attacks.
Although it occasionally wanders on the edge, it is forced back by the resolute attitude of humans.
As for Ning Fan, everyone's attitude was surprisingly consistent.
He is not allowed to go out alone anymore.
What just happened, in Xu Ben's words, almost scared Uncle Guan to death.
Ning Fan no longer insisted on going out.
He needed time to digest that dream.
And the most important thing is, while he was dreaming, Dark Thorn suddenly attacked him. Was it a coincidence, or was there any other reason?
If it was just an ordinary dream, Ning Fan wouldn't care too much about it.
However, Ning Fan's "physique" is different from that of others.
Ning Fan had never had a dream in all these years.
To be precise, every one of his dreams is real.
Although the world in the sword sounds illusory, who can deny its reality?
After all, Ning Fan really learned some skills there.
And that dream just now...
The Li family, three generations.
Ning Fan recalled these key pieces of information.
The old monster in District H, his surname is Li.
The people who once guarded the [Top Wall] were the Li family.
This surname seems to have some special meaning in the lower city.
The old monster in District H once said that he and Li Jiushan were two branches of the Li family.
And the Li family member in the dream also said that they would stay in this cage together...
Combined with the information that Chong Wujie had revealed.
This lower city was originally an ancient battlefield...
An idea opened up in Ning Fan's mind.
It was once a space opened up by the people of Shangcheng in order to fight for territory and interests.
In this space, humans fight each other.
The winner can take his own spoils from the loser.
The reason they chose this method is that they don't want to harm each other's fundamental interests.
In this land, no matter how many variables there are, they are all under the control of all forces.
This is an approach that is acceptable to both the strong and the weak.
So, this place became a battlefield.
Since Chong Wujie called this place an "ancient battlefield", it means that even in Chong Wujie's era, this battlefield has existed for a long time.
However, Ning Fan now has no idea what the power distribution in Shangcheng was like during the Chong Wujie era.
Jian Wuchou said that they were sinners.
They are the ones who made this area what it is today.
Then, combined with the dream Ning Fan just had...
That member of the Li family said something that seemed to correspond to what Jian Wuchou said.
"This battlefield will soon be abandoned because of your presence."
After being abandoned, the ancient battlefield became the present lower city.
Ning Fan suddenly felt his thoughts become clearer.
Because the Li family also said...
"You have lost your human nature."
A bold yet extremely reasonable speculation became increasingly clear in Ning Fan's mind.
Perhaps the "person" facing the Li family has already evolved from a human...
Transformed into a strange beast!
The original form of the strange beast!
The first time Ning Fan learned about the relationship between the Upper and Lower Cities was from the information He Ziqing gave him.
He Ziqing said that the relationship between the upper city and the lower city is like that between a master and a dog.
The owner was afraid of other wild animals, so he fed the dog enough food for survival but not enough to fill it up.
And the dog will protect the owner's safety during this process.
Therefore, the [Road of Grace] exists.
The people in the upper city don't want the people in the lower city to disappear in this dark place.
Because they knew very well that when the people in the lower city disappeared, they would have to face the strange beasts.
What is certain is that the appearance of the strange beast also caught Shangcheng off guard.
People in the upper city may be more afraid of strange beasts than people in the lower city.
But at the same time, the strange beasts will not attack the people in the upper city.
This is a paradox.
Since they won't attack me, why should I be afraid?
Ultimately, there is only one possibility.
Again, because of the existence of people from the lower city.
Just as Lu Yiming said, the strange beasts have powerful evolutionary abilities.
When they no longer target the people in the lower city, but only have the people in the upper city as their "opponents", they will quickly adapt to the "light" of the people in the upper city.
As people from the upper city, they should know better than people from the lower city how big the threat posed by the strange beasts is!
The fear of strange beasts among the people in the lower city comes from imagination and the unknown.
Judging from Ning Fan’s experience in the lower city, they have always been trying to understand the strange beasts.
Now that they have a lot of information about strange beasts, the fear they feel has actually lessened a lot.
But the people in the upper city are different.
They are afraid of strange beasts precisely because they know them well enough.
They know better than the people in the lower city how the strange beasts came about!
Then think about the abilities of the beasts and how they match the abilities of the world within the sword...
Ning Fan didn't even dare to think about it.
In the dream, would the person the Li family faced...
Is it someone from the world of sword?
In order to create strange beasts...
No, perhaps what they wanted to create was not a strange beast, but a war machine that could obey their orders.
But, in this creative process, I lost control.
This war machine, which could have helped them expand their territory, has now become a strange beast.
When the people of Shangcheng realized that they could not control the strange beasts and that the beasts might even retaliate against them, they chose to decisively abandon this land.
This is the fundamental reason why they set up the battlefield here.
Even if you lose control, there is a way out.
Or, there is some causal relationship here.
Is it possible that the current situation has arisen because people in this ancient battlefield have become increasingly unscrupulous, increasingly disregarding the consequences, and blindly pursuing maximum profit?
If it were on their own land, they might not dare to create such a thing.
Because once things get out of control, they themselves may be implicated.
And now, all the bad consequences are borne by the people in the lower city.
For the people in Shangcheng, it was just the loss of a battlefield.
Even though they knew that a new world had formed in the lower city and that there were humans with the same blood as them, they still did not feel any regret or guilt.
Because, they...
Very safe!
In an instant, Ning Fan suddenly thought of a sentence Xu Jiang once said.
"You say the city is dirty, but that's because you haven't seen what real dirt is like!"
