Chapter 98: Black Death City



"As expected of a glorious demon spirit, it is more reliable than ordinary demon spirits." Li Xiu was delighted.

Looking at the corpse of the demon spirit, Li Xiu did not go forward to search for its magic core. Li Xiu guessed that the death of the Chrysanthemum Knight should be related to the black smoke on the demon spirit.

After the black smoke completely disappeared, Li Xiu summoned the Jedi Knight and asked him to approach the demon's body first.

After the black smoke completely dissipated, there was a click and the demon's body automatically decomposed into parts scattered all over the ground. A black magic core fell out.

Sure enough, when the Jedi Knight walked up to the demon, he did not show any abnormality.

Li Xiu commanded the Jedi Knights to pick up the magic core, only to see that the magic core was wrapped in a skin like cast iron, and inside was a crystal like black spinel.

Clang! Clang!

The sound of the iron chain dragging on the ground rang out again, but this time, the sound did not come from the long street in front, but from the end of the long street on the left.

Li Xiu rode the pink nightmare towards the intersection, and sure enough, he saw another identical evil spirit walking down the long street on the left.

Without waiting for the demon to come over, Li Xiu ordered the demigod to shoot him to death instantly.

A sound was also heard from the long street on the right. Another demon spirit appeared. Li Xiu didn't need to do anything at all. He just used his demigod power to eliminate all the demon spirits in an instant.

Li Xiu looked in the direction he had escaped from before, and sure enough, an identical evil spirit appeared on the long street over there.

After killing the evil spirit, evil spirits began to appear continuously at the four ends of the cross-shaped street.

Demons appeared one after another. At first, Li Xiu asked the Jedi Knights to pick up the magic cores, but later there was no time to pick up the magic cores. The demigod Shanna kept running around to kill the demons, but more and more demons appeared.

"How many evil spirits are there?" Li Xiu frowned as he saw groups of evil spirits rushing towards him from all four directions.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The demigod Shanna had no time to move, so he stood at the crossroads and kept shooting, but there were too many demons and he couldn't kill them all.

These monsters are obviously E-level monsters, but it’s a pity that I can’t bring in magic armor, otherwise I could use S-level magic light to kill a large number of them at once.

Seeing that the number of evil spirits was increasing and they were about to surround him, Li Xiu blew hard at the copper oil lamp floating beside him, trying to blow it out.

The voice said that as long as the oil lamp went out, he would be able to leave.

But no matter how hard he blew, the flame did not move.

With his blood boiling, Li Xiu grabbed the Fire Lotus Sword at his waist and slashed at the oil lamp.

Li Xiu now had enormous strength, and he forcibly pulled out the Fire Lotus Sword. The blade slashed down with a red glow, but only with a clang.

The sword blade bounced back without even touching the oil lamp, as if there was an invisible force protecting the oil lamp.

Seeing that the oil lamp could not be extinguished, Li Xiu had to get off the back of Pink Nightmare and let Pink Nightmare rush towards the evil spirits on one of the streets.

The pink light under the Pink Nightmare's hooves was like flames, and its body was shining with colorful light. The horn on its head burst into dazzling red light. With a charge, it knocked the demon in front of it back. The horn tore a big hole in its chest, and black smoke rose up.

The Pink Nightmare was not afraid of the smoke at all. She rushed into the group of monsters and killed them back and forth like a pink lightning. The monsters fell one by one wherever she passed.

Li Xiu was delighted when he saw this and asked the Ice Soul Siren to guard the other street.

Blue light flowed on the Ice Soul Siren's body, and it pounced directly on the head of a demon spirit. Its tentacles wrapped around the demon spirit's head, and its body rotated like an electric drill, directly twisting the demon spirit's head off.

Li Xiu felt relieved upon seeing this. It seemed that the black smoke on the demon's body was not lethal to all demons.

If Li Xiu's guess is correct, the black smoke on their bodies is only effective against demons that have no rank and no glorious protection.

With the Ice Soul Siren and the Pink Nightmare guarding each street, the pressure on the demigod suddenly decreased. He was guarding two streets alone, but still could not get close to the evil spirits he killed.

The Pink Nightmare's killing speed was not slow either. With its four hooves carrying pink flames, it crushed the armor-like body of the demon spirit and rushed back and forth as if it was in an empty space.

Although the Ice Soul Siren can also kill evil spirits, its speed is much slower than that of the demigod Setsuna and the Pink Nightmare.

It could only twist off the head of one demon at a time, and some demons had already rushed over it.

Li Xiu didn't dare to take the risk, so he gritted his teeth and let the Jedi Knight take over.

It was originally thought that the Jedi Knight would be hurt by the black smoke without the protection of the light, but it turned out that the Jedi Knight was not afraid of the black smoke and fought against the evil spirit without losing the upper hand.

The samurai sword in his hand, which looked like a glow stick, could actually cut through the armor of the demon, and it looked quite powerful.

The Jedi Knights and the Ice Siren were able to finally block the evil spirits on the street.

Groups of demons fell, the streets were littered with their scattered corpses, and black smoke continued to rise.

"Strange, they are both qualityless demons, why is the Chrysanthemum Knight afraid of black smoke but the Jedi Knight is not? No wonder it is because of the evil?" Li Xiu thought about it and it could only be because of the evil.

The Jedi swallowed a demon, but the Chrysanthemum Knight did not.

It was unknown how long they killed the demon, but the last one was beheaded by the Jedi Knight with a single blow. The long street was littered with broken armor-like corpses, many of which were still emitting black smoke.

Bang! Bang!

When Li Zheng was asking the Jedi Knights to pick up the magic cores, a sound was heard again from the depths of the long street. However, this time, it was not the sound of iron chains dragging on the ground, but a sound of heavy footsteps.

Every time the sound rang out, Li Xiu felt as if the entire street was shaking.

Looking closely, I saw a three-meter-tall demon spirit, covered in black armor with flowing lava-like patterns on the armor, rushing towards the intersection like a ferocious monster.

"The Flowing Color Demon Spirit?" Li Xiu could now roughly distinguish the grade of the demon spirit.

There will be flowing colorful patterns on the body of the Flowing Magic Spirit, and in addition to the flowing colorful patterns, a certain part of the body of the Shining Magic Spirit will shine particularly brightly.

Li Xiu had never seen the brilliant demon spirit before, so he didn't know what characteristics it had. The brilliant demon spirit was just like the demigod Setsuna, with its entire body radiating light, like a shadow of light, and it was almost impossible to see its entity clearly.

However, on Earth, Li Xiu rarely saw these high-quality monsters. Even the S-level monsters, like the giant monster Qin Shi had killed before, were of only ordinary quality.

"No wonder they say that the demons that descended on Earth are just the most ordinary ones? The truly powerful demons have not appeared yet?" Li Xiu thought to himself.

Bang!

While Li Zhengxing was thinking about which demon to send into battle, the demigod Shanshan had already shot at the colorful demon.

The blue light bullet blew up the demon's head directly, and it fell to the ground and died.

"That's it?" Li Xiu thought that the seemingly ferocious Liucai Demon Spirit was very powerful, but it turned out to be just a single shot from the demigod.

The corpse of the colorful demon spirit fell to the ground, and the black armor dissipated with the black smoke, but the colorful light on its body gathered together and turned into a black crystal ring.

"That is... the Demon Ring..." Li Xiu had killed countless high-level demons on Earth, but he had never seen such a situation. The dead demons would actually turn into a Demon Ring.

"The evil spirits have been eliminated. You can blow out the Eternal Lamp and leave the trial site." The strange voice sounded again, as if it came from the oil lamp.

"In other words, I don't have to blow out the Longevity Lamp?" Li Xiu thought for a while and asked.

"You can also continue to explore the trial site." The strange voice sounded again, confirming Li Xiu's statement.

"If I choose to continue exploring, can I blow out the Eternal Life Lamp and leave the trial site at any time?" Li Xiu asked again.

"The Eternal Lantern cannot leave the city." The strange voice replied.

"Then I'll just walk around the city." Li Xiu asked Juewu Kaishi to pick up the magic cores, and he rode on the pink nightmare and took the demigod Setsuna for a walk around the city.

The doors of all the buildings in the city were closed, and no one knew what was inside. Li Xiu did not dare to open the door randomly. He walked to the end of the long street and found that there was a city gate where the city wall was originally.

After approaching the city gate, Li Xiu faintly heard the sound of a woman crying outside. The sound seemed to be there and not there, and it didn't sound very real.

However, Li Xiu suddenly had the urge to open the city gate and go out to see what was going on. He was suddenly startled and quickly moved away from the city gate.

"The level of Demigod Moment is still low. Now is not the time to go out." Li Xiu gave up the idea of ​​opening the door and continued to stroll around the city.

There were city gates on the four directions of the street, but unfortunately Li Xiu didn't dare to open them yet.

"At least we have to solve the problem of the symbiotic contract first. I'm not a true trial-taker yet, and I can't have a halo to protect me like Sha Chu. It's too dangerous to leave the city." Li Xiu was considering whether to go back to the Haitian Trial Field and complete the symbiotic agreement with the blood-patterned revolver.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a creaking sound, and the door of a building next to me opened by itself.

Li Xiu's heart trembled, and he immediately ordered the Pink Nightmare to retreat. The demigod Setsuna also went into alert mode and protected Li Xiu.

The building with the open door was a low stone house. The doorway was not even as high as Li Xiu, so he had to bend over to walk in.

The stone house was completely empty, without even a table or a bench, but against the wall stood a black stone coffin.

The sarcophagus was similar to the blue metal coffin that Li Xiu had seen at the Haitian Trial Field, except that the material was different, the shape was slightly different, and it was also a little smaller.

"What is that?" Li Xiu asked the longevity lamp beside him.

But the Longevity Lamp did not answer him, there was no sound at all.

"Shana." Li Xiu stood at the outer door and asked the demigod Shana to raise his gun and shoot at the sarcophagus.

when!

The blue light bullet fired by the demigod Setsuna hit the sarcophagus, but only left a small hole on it.

"Nothing fell out? It seems that this sarcophagus and the blue metal coffin in the Haitian Trial Field are not the same thing." Li Xiu stared at the sarcophagus in thought.

He looked at the longevity lamp beside him. Since he had this life-saving talisman, he didn't know if he would have another chance next time. It was not Li Xiu's character to just leave like that.

Li Xiu waited for a while, and the Jedi Knight had picked up all the magic cores and the magic ring.

Hundreds of E-level magic cores are considered a considerable fortune, but compared with the magic ring and the magic core shining with black light, they are naturally inferior.

Li Xiu put away all the things and summoned back all the demons except the demigod Setsuna.

"Open it." Li Xiu gave the order to the demigod Shanshan, and he stood outside with his mouth facing the Longevity Lamp. As long as there was anything wrong, Li Xiu would immediately blow out the Longevity Lamp and leave the trial site.

After receiving the order, the demigod Shanna fired several shots at the sarcophagus. The bullets could only leave small holes on the sarcophagus. It was unknown when the sarcophagus could be broken if this continued.

The sarcophagus seemed to be cast in one piece, with no gaps at all and no place to open it, so the only option was to smash it into pieces.

Without waiting for Li Xiu's order, the demigod instantly drew out his greatsword, flashed in front of the sarcophagus, and chopped it down fiercely.

The big sword with a blue sword light chopped on the sarcophagus, making a harsh sound, and a long mark appeared on the sarcophagus.

The demigod slashed at the sarcophagus with sword after sword, leaving it covered with scars. The sword marks became deeper and bigger.

The greatsword flashed back and forth, slashing continuously with a blue light. No one knew how many times it slashed, but with a click, a sword mark finally penetrated the sarcophagus, and the sword marks that had been made before also cracked.

Snap! Snap!

The cracks on the sarcophagus were getting bigger and bigger, and pieces of stone were already falling from it.

"Come back." Li Xiu called the demigod Shanna back, his eyes fixed on the cracking sarcophagus.

As more and more cracks appeared on the sarcophagus, pieces of stone fell off one by one, and Li Xiu saw something inside the sarcophagus.

"What is that?" Li Xiu saw the location of the gap in the sarcophagus clearly, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

The things inside could now be seen clearly. Li Xiu had originally thought that there was most likely an evil spirit inside the sarcophagus, but that was not the case at all.

Inside the sarcophagus, there stood a black wooden tablet.

Of course Li Xiu had seen things like tablets before. Most of them were used for the dead.

Most people would enshrine their ancestor's tablets for the purpose of memorializing and worshipping them, but nowadays fewer and fewer people enshrine tablets at home, and most of them replace them with photos, portraits and the like.

In addition to this type of tablet, there is actually a longevity tablet, which is a tablet dedicated to living people.

In ancient times, longevity tablets were used to honor benefactors or saints.

For example, if someone has done you a great favor and you have no ability to repay him, or you don’t know where he is, you can enshrine his longevity tablet at home, pray for him morning and evening, and hope that he will be safe and live a long life.

No matter how Li Xiu looked at it, this thing looked like a tablet, but Li Xiu was not sure what tablet it was.

But why is a tablet placed inside the sarcophagus? Is it because the body of the deceased is gone and the tablet can only be used as a substitute?

Li Xiu looked carefully at the words on the wooden sign, and could only see the top two words on the exposed part.

"God of Killing..." Li Xiu couldn't help but frowned slightly when he saw these two words.

Since ancient times, there has been no such god as the God of Killing. If we have to talk about the God of Killing, there is Yama in the East and the God of Death in the West, but these cannot actually be considered the God of Killing.

There is only one person in history who can be called the God of Killing, and that is Bai Qi, who never lost a battle in his life and killed over a million enemies during the Warring States Period.

But they were ancient people on Earth, and probably have nothing to do with this trial ground.

The sign had the words "God of Killing" written on it, and the two words were dark red like blood. The strokes of the pen revealed a murderous intent that made people feel a chill down their spines.

Li Xiu wanted to see what other words were written under the God of Killing, but he didn't dare to go into the stone house, so he asked the demigod Shanna to fire two more shots at the sarcophagus.

Both shots hit the cracks in the sarcophagus, and the sarcophagus, which was already about to break into pieces, suddenly split apart.

Li Xiu finally saw clearly all the words written on the tablet, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed at first glance.

There are only two words below the word "God of Killing", and the total four words are "the position of the God of Killing".

"This thing really is a tablet, but it's too simple. There are only these four words on it, without even the date of birth or the name. I don't know why such a tablet is placed inside the sarcophagus." Li Xiu felt a little unlucky.

Encountering a tablet like this is worse than encountering an evil spirit.

What can you get after killing the evil spirit? What is the use of this tablet?

Li Xiu turned around and went to blow the longevity lamp, not wanting to continue wasting time here.

He blew at the longevity lamp with all his strength. The flame that had not been extinguished just now was immediately extinguished by his light blow.

The surroundings suddenly fell into absolute darkness. When he regained his sight, he had already arrived at the gate of the Brave Trial Field.

"Why is it getting dark so quickly?" Li Xiu looked around. It was very dark, with no stars or moon, and he could not see more than a few meters away.

But Li Xiu clearly went in at eight o'clock in the morning and was inside for only two or three hours at most. How come it got dark so quickly?

"What do you mean it's dark? It's not even noon yet. Why are you wearing sunglasses?" Sha Chu said with a smile.

Li Xiu was slightly startled, then he remembered that he was still wearing the Mirror of Darkness. But what was wrong with this thing? When he put it on, he couldn't see clearly in broad daylight, as if it was night.

Just now, in such a dark place in Black Death City, he could see so clearly.

"Does it mean that after putting on the mirror of darkness, the darker the place, the clearer I can see? That's good too. Next time I enter a dark maze, I won't be afraid of not being able to see." Li Xiu muttered to himself.

"The adjutant wanted to treat us to a meal, but I declined. Now that everyone else has left, let's go back too. We are really exhausted today." Sha Chu said, stretching lazily.

"Okay." Li Xiu turned and walked towards the gate, but after a few steps, he found that Sha Chu and A Fei were following him. They seemed to be looking at him, and he didn't know what they were doing.

"What are you doing?" Li Xiu stopped, turned around and looked at them, frowning and asked.

"When did you develop this habit? Why are you carrying a tablet when you go out? Are you asking for blessings from your ancestors?" Sha Chu asked with a smile.

When Li Xiu heard Sha Chu say this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he quickly reached behind him.

When he touched it, Li Xiu suddenly felt a chill on his back. He really touched a cold wooden plate, which was stuck on his back.
