After making sure that the players were progressing smoothly, Fang Zheng relaxed. His goal now was to send Lei to that courtyard, and then he could temporarily get out of this world. As for the information about the order coordinate points in this world, Fang Zheng left it to his lovely players to collect.
As for Fang Zheng himself, he continued to travel north with the others.
On the one hand, it is the feeling of relying on Lei, and on the other hand, everyone is very interested in the "Immortal City" that Minister Johannes mentioned, even Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto. Although Shirai Kuroko said that immortality is impossible, there is even such a thing as traveling through the world. What if there really are immortal people?
However, Fang Zheng was a little bit worried about this. After all, when the undead were mentioned... he instinctively wanted to leave.
But... this should not be the same as the one at home.
Along the way, the group also stopped by several gathering points to investigate, and they discovered that the Immortal City really existed. The legend was very detailed, saying that the land was protected by the gods, and that as long as you entered that land, you would never die, and even the wild gods never approached that land.
However, most people do not believe in these rumors and gathering places. Even those who believe in them do not plan to go there. The rumor is too vague. It just says to go north all the way. But how far is the end of the north? What if you end up at the North Pole?
Besides, although it is rumored that there are no wild gods in that land, they are everywhere along the way. What if people are eaten by the wild gods before they even reach the destination?
As for the remaining 30%, they were naturally stubborn and thought that it was better to grit their teeth and fight than to wait for death here. These people also left and never came back. In this case, many people actually just regarded this as a rumor.
But Fang Zheng didn't think so. If that was the case, then Minister Johannes shouldn't be so nervous. Facts also proved Fang Zheng's guess. Although people had different opinions about the refugee gathering points around Fenrir, the further north they went, the more sparsely populated gathering points they found. There were even a few gathering points where no one was there!
“Same here.”
After walking out of the gathering point, Alyssa shook her head at Fang Zheng.
"They only said that those people were fine the day before, but disappeared when they woke up the next morning. The only note they left behind said that they had gone to the Undying City in the north..."
"Why do I feel that this matter is a bit weird..."
Hearing this, Riri Saotome scratched her head.
"Generally speaking, for such a big thing, you should at least discuss it with everyone. Now some people have left, and some have stayed, but the people who stayed don't know anything? I always feel like there's some conspiracy going on here."
As she spoke, Riri Saotome looked at Fang Zheng curiously.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, what do you think?"
"It's hard to say at this point. I'm not sure what the situation is."
Facing Riri Saotome's question, Fang Zheng shook his head, but his inner doubts about the Immortal City grew deeper and deeper. If he had simply gone on an adventure based on rumors, it would have been fine, but there was no sign at all the day before, and it disappeared early the next morning. This kind of thing could be considered a coincidence once or twice, but it happened in every gathering place he passed by along the way... then it couldn't be explained away by coincidence.
"But from this we can see that the place is indeed a bit weird. Perhaps we should be more careful..."
Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at Alyssa and found that she seemed a little uneasy.
"What's wrong? Anything else?"
"Yes, Mr. Fang Zheng, the people at the gathering place told me that a high-level wild god has appeared in the abandoned factory nearby. I hope to go and defeat him."
“Oh, God of the Wilderness…”
After hearing Alyssa's answer, Fang Zheng took a closer look at the Russian girl in front of him, especially the huge weapon in her hand. This weapon was called the Divine Machine, and it was also the standard equipment of all God Eaters. Although it was a standard equipment, these Divine Machine weapons were not small in size. Take the Divine Machine in Alyssa's hand, for example. The entire sword body was taller than her, thick and large, and it was simply an extra-large sword.
Logically speaking, most people wouldn't be able to even swing such a heavy weapon, but Alyssa could not only hold it with one hand, but also wield it easily.
According to Alyssa, all God Eaters have been injected with something called "Oracle Cells". Only after being injected with these "Oracle Cells" can they establish contact with the God Machine and manipulate it easily.
This is certainly not a bad thing for Fang Zheng. Of course, if you have to say it, it is - girl, do you want to learn how to use the wolf sword to greet the New Year?
It would be a shame if you didn't join the Undead Corps with such a great sword!
And Fang Zheng also discovered that this time Alyssa followed him out, nominally for further study, but Fang Zheng could sense that she seemed to be looking for something. Almost every time they arrived at the gathering place, Alyssa would ask about the situation nearby and whether there were any wild gods...but she didn't seem to have any good luck the first few times.
And now...
"I want to go too! I want to go too!"
At this moment, Lei Zi was also excitedly holding Lei's hand high and shouting. After Fang Zheng taught her those new skills, Lei Zi was now like those rookies who had just finished their training and come down the mountain in martial arts novels. She wished she could run into some bandits on the road to show off her skills.
"God of Wilderness, this time I'm going to show it how powerful I am!"
At this moment, Misaka Mikoto is also ready to fight. As for the reason... just look at the hammer hanging around her waist.
There hasn't been any fighting for a while, so the little girls must be getting frustrated.
"Okay, let's go together."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng nodded and agreed to Alyssa's request. Then the group immediately went to the abandoned factory not far from the gathering place.
However, after arriving at the abandoned factory and seeing those wild gods, almost everyone was surprised.
"Ms. Alyssa, why are these wild gods different from the ones we saw before?"
Staring at the Aragami roaming around in the distance, Misaka Mikoto widened her eyes in surprise. No wonder she had such doubts. You know, before this, Misaka Mikoto had only fought with two kinds of Aragami, one of which was the monster that looked like a velociraptor, called the Ghost-faced Aragami, and the other was the monster that looked like a gorilla, called the Kongo Aragami.
These two monsters look strange, but they are just monsters after all.
But the monster in front of us is not like that!
From a distance, you can see a wild god about two or three meters tall standing on the top of the factory ruins. Its entire body looks exactly like a human, with two legs and two arms. The only difference is that it has a pair of wing-like things growing under its arms. That's fine, after all, there are quite a few dogs that walk on two legs, right?
But the other kind of monster is very scary. Although it is on all fours, it has a real human face!
That’s right, a human face!
And it can be clearly seen that it is a female face, except that there is a bloody mouth under the chin!
What the hell is this!
Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko felt their hair stand on end.
They are not afraid of ordinary monsters, but this monster with a human face...what if it can speak human language?
"Are these...really not human?"
Even Shirai Kuroko couldn't help but touch his arm at this moment, and in response to the girls' questions, Alisa shook her head.
"In fact, this is why they are called wild gods. We don't know why, but many of them have human-like appearances. This mystery has not yet been solved."
"Let's pull them over one by one and beat them first."
Fang Zheng didn't care about this kind of question. Whether it had a human face or not, it was still a monster. Goblins could still speak and beg for mercy. The priestess was not idle when she used her scepter to smash the goblin cub into a pulp.
Only young ladies like Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko would care about this kind of problem.
Oh, if I wasn't afraid of causing them psychological trauma, I really want to send them to that world to fight goblins and experience life.
But after the experience, I guess my three views will be completely ruined.
Let’s just forget it.
"Then I'll go first!"
Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto also took off the hammer from her waist, and then saw the electric current rotating around her. The next moment, the hammer that originally looked like just a small hammer head suddenly began to deform, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a huge two-handed warhammer. Misaka Mikoto leaped up, and then the electromagnetic force quickly rushed to the top of the abandoned factory. She raised the warhammer and aimed it at the monster in front of her. The next moment, the warhammer suddenly deformed and turned into a huge cannon barrel!
Then, a dazzling blue electric current burst out from it and hit the monster directly.
The monster was facing away from Misaka Mikoto and was doing something unknown. It was hit by a cannon and fell directly from the roof. At this moment, Shirai Kuroko raised and lowered his hands, and then Saten Ruiko and Arisa disappeared instantly and appeared behind the monster.
"drink!!"
Apparently, Rinko Saten had already gotten used to Kuroko Shirai's teleportation. As soon as she teleported over, she immediately swung the sharp wind blade in her hand and slashed the monster's wings with one sword. The monster came to its senses only then, and suddenly let out an angry roar, flashed its wings, and spread out in all directions with a stream of air, forcing Rinko Saten to retreat.
At this moment, Alyssa finally took action.
However, her fighting style surprised both Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto. Facing the monster in front of her, Alisa tightly grasped the divine machine in her hand and swung it forward. As she moved, a big mouth suddenly stretched out from the inside of the weapon that originally looked like a complete metal casting, biting the monster's wings and tearing it off alive!
Then everyone saw Alyssa waved the divine machine, and the torn flesh and blood went back into the divine machine through the big mouth, and it chewed twice with a few crunches and then there was no more movement.
Seeing this, both of them were stunned.
This thing... is alive?!
