But much of the danger lies underground.
The surface is much better.
Carl valued his life, and since arriving in Black City he had no intention of exploring the underground mines, and only hung out on the surface.
Even the transaction with Aya and others was chosen on it.
I never thought...
"Why are there so many monsters?"
Leaping onto the roof, Carl frowned, and had some thoughts of retreating.
Along the way, he encountered more monsters than ever before, including coyotes, worms, and all kinds of half-dead creatures...
The danger is increasing!
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He came here to gain benefits, but he does not want to fight to the death with monsters.
"ah!"
A scream came from the front, Carl's eyes moved slightly, and he turned into a black shadow and rushed forward at an accelerated speed.
Martial arts - Eagle Step.
After witnessing Iron Fist Abe's methods, he also picked up the knight martial arts that had almost been shelved.
Thanks to the perfect control over the body in the fragment of the divine domain, the proficiency of martial arts is also improving by leaps and bounds.
Looking over the wall, several familiar figures came into view.
It’s Aya and her group.
Six teenagers are being besieged by a group of stone lizards.
This underground creature has tight skin and flesh, as if it were wearing a layer of stone armor, and has amazing defensive capabilities.
The attack power of its claws and tongue is also quite good.
After holding out for a while, their situation became precarious.
"careful!"
Aya screamed and pushed away her friend beside her, but she was knocked to the ground by a stone lizard.
Damn! Her heart was pounding, and she struggled to get up, only to see that the stone lizard had opened its mouth and its tongue was trembling.
The lizard's tongue is covered with sharp spikes and has an incredible speed. If it touches you, at least a piece of flesh will fall off.
A hit to a vital point is more likely to result in instant death.
Just at this moment.
"boom!"
A ball of fire exploded among the lizards, and the huge shock wave directly knocked the stone lizards to the ground.
Carl appeared nearby, raised his left hand, and pressed repeatedly.
Fire seal!
Fire seal!
Fire seal!
He had taken the potion in advance, so he had enough magic power in a short period of time and could cast spells without restraint.
Fireballs the size of washbasins whizzed out and crashed into the stone lizards, exploding with a loud bang after hitting the target.
Even if it misses, it will cause a huge shock wave when it lands on the field.
After a moment.
Carl stopped what he was doing and looked at the mutilated corpses on the ground, his face turning pale.
It’s not fear, but a reaction to excessive mental energy consumption.
'It seems that even if you take the potion, it will be very stressful to continue casting, and it will shorten the effect of the potion.'
Hibel said that a bottle of medicine can last for half an hour.
But if you keep casting...
A few minutes is enough!
However, after constructing the spell model, the power of the Fire Seal has increased a lot compared to before. The previous fireballs were only the size of a human head, but now they are the size of a washbasin. A wave of fierce attacks directly killed the stone lizards in groups.
"Uncle!"
Having escaped death, Aya ran over with a look of ecstasy on her face: "Luckily you helped us in time, otherwise we would have been dead."
"What's going on?" Carl steadied his breath and scanned the entire scene:
"Why are there so many monsters appearing on the surface? In this situation, there is no need for you to come out."
"Alas!" Aya sighed, "The situation underground is even worse, and we agreed to meet here. Wouldn't it be a breach of trust if I don't come?"
Carl shook his head.
There is no need to worry about reputation at this time.
"As for the situation in the city..." Aya looked back and said, "I heard that the Yin Qi from Pit No. 2 exploded. At least a thousand people were half dead, and the underground monsters are running away for some reason."
“The details are still unclear.”
"Let's go back to the Laka market first." Carl said, "It should be safer there."
If the Raqqa bazaar where the city guards are stationed is not safe, then there will be no safe place in the entire Black City.
Aya nodded heavily.
With the addition of Carl, the "great master", the group's journey to the Laka market was safe and sound.
The market was crowded with people and noisy, and most people looked frightened and confused about the future.
“Dana.”
Aya said to a girl, "Go and find out the situation."
"yes."
Dana is a girl with rough features.
She has strong limbs and a loud voice. Although she is a woman, her strength is second only to Xiaonan in the team.
Carl looked at Xiaonan in the crowd:
"How's Konan?"
"I'm fine." Xiaonan was seriously injured before, his face was pale, and he needed someone to support him to move forward. Hearing this, he grinned and said:
"I don't think I'll die for now."
"Yin Qi invades the body." Aya said with a distressed look: "It needs to be treated with purple wisteria grass. At this time, I wonder if the city guards are still there?"
"Too many people have had Yin energy enter their bodies in the past two days, and the wisteria grass has been consumed rapidly. The wisteria grass in the market has been hyped up to sky-high prices."
Karl squatted down and checked Xiaonan's injuries, frowning slightly.
The so-called Yin Qi entering the body can be divided into two types: one is being in a place with dense Yin Qi for a long time, and the other is being attacked by half-dead creatures.
Xiaonan belongs to the latter.
Something had left four deep claw marks on his back, and the skin around the marks had rotted away.
If Xiaonan is not treated in time, the Yin energy will invade his bone marrow and nerves, and he will become half-dead.
Wisteria is also known as the reviving grass, which is specifically used to overcome yin energy. However, due to its extremely harsh growing environment, its output is limited and the price is not cheap.
"Big sister!"
Dana came back quickly, panting:
"Someone said that a relic appeared under Pit No. 2, and the city lord personally led people there."
"in addition……"
"Just now, the city guards put up a sign in the center of the market, saying what the reward was. I can't read so I don't know."
"Reward?" Aya looked puzzled.
"I'll go take a look." Carl stood up: "You wait here for me."
The crowd at the market was agitated and trying to squeeze in. They must have heard the news.
Not far ahead, a huge wooden sign as high as two stories came into view, covered with large characters that could be seen clearly even from a distance.
Get it from the words of the people.
In order to deal with the outbreak of negative energy in Pit No. 2, the city guard called on all citizens in the city to eliminate the source of the unrest.
That is, all kinds of ferocious beasts and half-dead creatures.
In return, the city guards took out various precious materials for exchange. The more aliens they killed, the better the things they got in return.
On the wooden sign is the price of the exchanged items.
The top one is to leave the Black City, which requires one hundred alien symbols, which means killing one hundred aliens.
And this,
Not the most demanding one.
In addition to leaving the Black City, killing aliens can also be exchanged for seals, breathing methods, alien beast meat, life potions, etc.
The reason why Leaving Black City is ranked first is probably because it has the highest attention.
Like the seal of Dharma.
Different seals correspond to different exchange prices, but even the cheapest seal is more expensive than leaving the Black City.
Hmm? Karl's heart moved, and his eyes fell back on the wooden sign.
There seemed to be something in the flash just now...
Life potion!
Among them are life potions that can help knight squires condense life seeds and become official knights.
“Plop!”
“Plop! Plop!”
Karl's heart was beating rapidly and his blood was boiling.
He was not interested in this at first, and even planned to leave Black City as soon as possible and come back after this matter was over.
Now……
He was moved!
