The thick yin energy gathered into black smoke that shot straight into the sky, connecting one end to the sky and the other end to the ground.
The yin energy roared and swept around.
Three figures in heavy armor stood at the edge of the area, with a hazy halo on their bodies, resisting the erosion of the Yin energy, and their bodies remained motionless despite the strong wind.
They are the backbone of the City Guard, the nominal rulers of Black City, and the captains of the City Guard knights.
Through the thick yin energy, you can see what looks like a broken city at the bottom of the pit.
The city is like a giant beast lurking underground. Although it is covered with scars and old, it is still as majestic and magnificent as it used to be.
"The Forgotten City."
Hal, the captain of the city guard, murmured, "I never thought there really is a forgotten city here."
"Legend has it that before the Moon Goddess fell, there were many cities in this world built specifically for worshipping the goddess." Captain Bernard said, "There are endless treasures and infinite knowledge in the city. As long as you get God's permission here, you can enter the realm of God and gain eternal life."
His voice was full of envy.
"snort!"
Hal snorted:
"Even gods will perish, so how can there be eternal life?"
"But the Forgotten City must have many treasures hidden in it, so we can't miss it no matter what."
Then he waved his hand:
"Let the people in!"
"yes."
The team leader responded and gestured behind him, and immediately more than a hundred ragged miners were driven in.
"Walk!"
“Hurry up and go!”
“Bang!”
A group of fully armed city guards waved long whips in their hands, whipping and driving the miners forward.
In the blink of an eye.
The miners were forced into a desperate situation and stepped into the black smoke filled with negative energy. The negative energy instinctively pounced on everyone, and shrill, desperate screams followed.
Visible to the naked eye.
The skin and flesh of these miners began to shrivele, their eyes turned red, the fresh breath of life disappeared, and a murderous aura emanated from their bodies.
"put!"
Captain Hal had a stern expression on his face and waved his hand gently.
"collapse!"
"call……"
The bowstrings at the back trembled, and countless arrows with burning arrowheads fell from the sky and landed among the miners.
immediately.
The raging fire spread all over the place.
The miners screamed and fell to the ground one after another, and finally turned into ashes under the burning flames. They were blown away by the cold wind and disappeared completely.
If you look closely, you can see that the black smoke gathered by the cold wind has become slightly darker than before.
The city inside also became clearer.
“Not enough.”
Hal's expression was blank:
“Not nearly enough!”
"Team Headquarters." Captain Bernard whispered:
"There are not many miners left. If we continue like this, I'm afraid it will cause resistance from the people below."
"Resistance?" Hal showed disdain, but did not force it:
"How long will it take for the slave to arrive?"
"Mrs. Die said it would take two months. We need a large quantity, so it will take some time to purchase. We can't speed it up," Bernard replied.
"One month!"
Hal said in a muffled voice, "Tell her that I want to see a sufficient number of slaves within a month. As for the price... you can raise it."
"yes."
Bernard nodded and said:
"There is one more thing. A few strange giants escaped from the Forgotten City a few days ago. I am afraid they will cause some troubles for the people above."
"Do you want us to solve it?"
"No need." Hal lowered his eyebrows: "If this can't be solved, what's the point of having them?"
"in addition……"
"Send down those who meet the requirements. The stronger they are, the more Yin Qi they consume, and we can enter the Forgotten City sooner."
"Yes," Bernard replied.
During their conversation, the major events of Black City had already been decided. It seemed that Hal was the city lord, or the so-called "mysterious city lord" did not exist at all.
* * * Everyone has clear division of labor.
Aya and the other six took turns exploring the way ahead and attracting targets. Carl stood in the middle of the crowd as the fire output, ready to provide support at any time.
The mopping-up operation started near the stronghold and gradually moved deeper into the city.
"careful!"
As they walked forward, Dana's eyes narrowed: "It's a pack of coyotes!"
Some wolf leaders even activated special bloodlines and became exotic beasts.
"Back off slowly, don't panic."
Xiaonan's injuries have almost recovered. Now he is holding a shield and retreating little by little.
The wolves in the corner of the ruins whimpered, stopped devouring flesh and blood, and looked towards them.
The cold, ferocious green eyes were particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
"Woooooo!"
Accompanied by a wolf howl, three coyotes took the lead in launching an attack.
Two other coyotes hid in the darkness, bypassed the men in front of them, and tried to attack them from the side.
These coyotes actually know certain tactics.
“Back off!”

Xiaonan said in a low voice:
"Lead them back."
"Hausman, hold the shield tightly in your hand. Don't think about attacking. Just lure them out."
The three men each held a shield, with their backs against each other, using the shields to protect themselves as they retreated little by little.
From a distance, the three people seemed to be wrapped in a huge turtle shell, and the charge of ordinary coyotes was far from enough to break through the defense.
“Ouch!”
The wolf leader growled, seeming a little impatient, and rushed out from the darkness and crashed into the shield in Dana's hand.
"Bang!"
The huge impact force made Dana groan, and her hands holding the shield became numb and she almost lost consciousness.
Just at this moment.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Several powerful arrows shot out and rushed towards the wolf pack.
There were also two fireballs mixed in it, heading straight towards the wolf leader.
"puff!"
The powerful arrow penetrated into the coyote's body.
"boom!"
The fireball exploded, knocking the leader wolf to the ground, and the flames enveloped the coyotes that were protecting the leader wolf.
"superior!"
Carl waved his hand and rushed towards the wolf leader who was struggling to get up with his sword.
Secondary magic force field!
Eagle Step! Furious Strike!
A lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit, so Carl did not dare to be careless and slashed at the wolf leader with the broadsword in his hand.
Slash! Slash! Slash with a fierce wind! The whistling sword shadow swept past, and the strange sound of the sword blade shattering bones continued, and the wolf leader was also blown away.
He was completely out of breath after landing.
The battle on the other side also ended quickly. Aya and six other people surrounded the injured wolves and fought them with arrows and heavy axes.
Soon, the wolves were reduced to corpses.
Aya dissected the corpse skillfully: "Each coyote has a nameless tooth. You can use it to exchange for something with the city guards."
"pity……"
"The meat of a coyote has a lot of Yin energy, so there aren't many places where you can eat it, otherwise the meat alone would sell for a lot of money."
"Big sister." Dana called from a distance, "Come and see!"
"What's wrong?"
Aya stopped what she was doing and walked over with Karl.
There were several bloody corpses in the corner of the ruins. These were probably the flesh and blood that the wolves had just swallowed.
“Hmm…”
Karl squatted down, turned over the broken body, and looked solemn:
"There were rips on their clothes from being cut by a sharp blade. It wasn't the wolves that killed them, but humans."
“No wonder!”
Dana tapped her forehead:
"No wonder there were no valuables left. It turned out that the place had been looted."
Being in the Black City, they had seen a lot of fighting, so they didn't find it strange. There were many people who were blinded by greed.
"Let's go."
Carl stood up:
"Good things are bound to be coveted by others, but we are numerous and powerful, and I believe no one will dare to provoke us."
Several people couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
Too.
There are seven of us on our side, including Carl, the 'great master', so we just shouldn't cause trouble for others.
