Chapter 1823: Giant City Swallows the Sky
"Are you really not going to consider having such a fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged wife?" Tsukuyomi looked at Zhou Wen expectantly.
Zhou Wen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Dealing with Tsukuyomi was more tiring than fighting against the apocalyptic creatures. Zhou Wen couldn't handle what she said and didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, the time finally passed. Zhou Wen ignored Tsukuyomi and looked at the time. There were still two minutes left before the time Tsukuyomi mentioned.
It is already midnight and the weather is good. The whole sky looks like a piece of patterned blue glass. Except for a few clouds, the rest of the sky is so clean that it makes people intoxicated.
The stars seemed to become particularly dazzling, and there were many more stars than before.
After human civilization was gradually destroyed, the starry sky became more and more colorful.
"Watch out, it's coming." Tsukuyomi looked in the direction of the giant city and reminded Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen had already seen that black flames were emanating from the huge black city. It was not real fire, but it was not smoke either. It was more like a shadow caused by the distortion of space.
Flames rose up and filled the sky. The originally quiet starry sky seemed to be distorted. Irregular shadows appeared in the sky, and the starlight became much dimmer.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that there were no other changes in the huge city, Zhou Wen couldn't help but look at Tsukuyomi and asked.
"You'll know soon." Tsukuyomi just signaled Zhou Wen not to be distracted and to look carefully at the huge city.
Zhou Wen turned his head to look at the giant city in confusion, and happened to see that strange scene.
The huge stone city suddenly shrank and expanded as if its heart was beating.
After this, the giant city was obviously bigger than before, as if it had grown a circle longer.
"Oh my god, could this huge city be a living thing?" Zhou Wen was shocked and was glad that he had no intention of going in.
If it really is a living creature, if I just go in like that, wouldn't I end up in its stomach?
The giant city would shrink and expand every once in a while as if swallowing, becoming a little bigger each time and looking extremely weird.
"I don't know whether this city is alive or not. I only know that it is not an ancient building. At least before it appeared, no human knew of its existence. Because this city happens to appear on the mountain where the legendary Titans live, many people mistakenly think that it is the city of the Titans. I have observed it for a long time and have seen with my own eyes that it has grown from a city about the same size as your ancient city to what it is now in just half a month." Tsukuyomi explained.
"If it's not the city of the Titans, then what is the origin of this city?" Zhou Wen pondered in his mind, but could not think of many clues.
Although he had studied some ancient Greek mythology, he only had a general understanding of it. He knew some of the more famous Greek myths, but he couldn't think of any connection between this city and Greek mythology.
The giant city was still swallowing and spitting out, becoming bigger and bigger, standing in the darkness like a monster swallowing the sky.
"No, if this thing continues to grow, will it cover the entire earth?" Zhou Wen suddenly thought of this possibility and frowned.
If this thing continues to expand indefinitely, at this speed, it will be larger than the Earth itself in less than half a year. Wouldn't all human beings suffer?
As if seeing through Zhou Wen's thoughts, Yue Yan said, "That's hard to say. I don't understand where this thing came from. Since it appeared, it has been absorbing energy from the sky every three days, and it has never stopped."
"If this is really the case, we must solve this problem as soon as possible to avoid endless troubles." Zhou Wen pondered.
"How do we solve it? We don't even know what it is." Tsukuyomi shook his head.
"Get a companion pet to go and investigate." Zhou Wen thought, and summoned a companion pet, which was a very low-level black snake.
The black snake slithered forward towards the giant city, while Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi watched nervously from a distance, ready to fight or escape at any time.
The black snake approached the giant city, but there was no reaction from the black city. It seemed that the black snake circled in front of the city gate several times and was not attacked.
"Why don't we break the door and see?" Tsukuyomi seemed to be interested as well, staring at the gate of the giant city and said.
"This is just a legendary black snake. How can it possibly push open that kind of door?" Although Zhou Wen said this, he still drove the black snake to swim towards the door.
It's no use staying stuck in this stalemate, it might be better to give it a try.
To Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi's surprise, the black snake had just touched the gate, and the gate, which was more than a thousand meters high, was opened by the black snake with a light push.
Inside the gate are huge palaces. Humans are no match for ants in front of those palaces. No one knows what kind of creatures and how big they must be to be able to live in such palaces.
However, Zhou Wen only saw the palace and did not see any other creatures, so he had to control the black snake to continue exploring inside.
Under Zhou Wen's control, the black snake crawled inside along the stone road, and an even more bizarre scene occurred.
As the black snake moved forward, its body unexpectedly grew larger.
The black snake was originally only about one meter long and was not a companion pet that won by its size. It had just entered the giant city within a distance of ten or twenty meters, and its body length had already exceeded five meters.
Although its body was expanding rapidly, judging from the information fed back by the black snake, it did not feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Wen asked the black snake to stop. After it stopped, its body continued to grow. It did not stop expanding just because it stopped moving.
"This city is quite interesting." Zhou Wen looked at the huge city thoughtfully and continued to order the black snake to go inside.
When the black snake crossed the square and arrived in front of the palace, its body had become extremely huge, and it was probably comparable in size to Behemoth.
What's strange is that the black snake has become so huge. Logically, its body should have become many times stronger. With such a body size, even if it is just pure strength, it should not be difficult to kill an epic myth or something of a higher level.
However, Zhou Wen did not feel the black snake's level increase, it was still a legendary companion pet.
The huge body of the black snake finally arrived in front of the palace, and at Zhou Wen's command, it used its head to push towards the palace gate.
The shape of the palace was completely different from the ancient buildings in the east district. Zhou Wen couldn't figure out what it was. He just wanted to finish exploring it quickly and had no interest in studying it in detail.
The palace gate was pushed open again by the black snake very easily, but Zhou Wen was shocked by the scene he saw.
Inside the palace, there was a huge human head hanging, just like the crystal chandelier hanging in the hall.
But the head was disheveled, its gray hair covering its face, leaving only the bloody neck visible. It looked extremely terrifying. Furthermore, the head was too large. If Zhou Wen went in himself, his size wouldn't even be enough to be a louse on the head.
When Zhou Wen was looking at the head, he suddenly saw that the head opened its eyes and stared at him.
It seems that I have gone off track. I originally wanted to quickly explain the main plot and the pitfalls and finish the book, but as I was writing, I became too detailed and it gave me a headache.
