Carl said: "Why not tell me about it."
There was curiosity in his voice, but the others showed no interest at all, obviously knowing exactly what had happened.
"There's nothing much to say." Jacqueline shrugged, her voice desolate, "The Yin Qi in Pit No. 2 exploded. The source is a forgotten city underground. The city guards obviously didn't want the news to leak out, so they captured all the survivors nearby, including the Wind Whisperer...
"Forgotten City?" Carl frowned: "What is this?"
"The Forgotten City..." A gray-haired old man in the crowd said slowly, "It is said that before the Crimson Moon was shattered and the Moon Goddess fell, there were many holy cities on the land of this world."
“Only those with sincere faith and outstanding talents are qualified to enter and receive God’s blessing.”
His voice is a little strange, with a natural aria, which makes it easy for people to immerse themselves in the narration and enjoy the legendary story that happened in a distant period.
"Until the celestial spheres meet..."
"At that time, the gods fell, and the holy city sank into the ground, becoming what we now call the Forgotten City."
"His name is Mond, he is a scholar, he was a bard for a while when he was young, and he always says some weird things." Jacqueline said, "To be honest, I don't know what the Forgotten City is, but Hal from the City Guard thinks it is very important."
"So..." Carl pointed forward and said, "We are now risking our lives to explore the way so that the city guards can enter the Forgotten City more easily?"
"good."
A blond man nodded, put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly:
"Dunlop from Shadow Alliance, nice to meet you."
"Legend has it that the Forgotten City hides the secrets of the gods. Captain Hal probably wants to steal the authority of the gods."
"He is not the only one who wants to steal the authority of God." The old bard Mond shook his head and reached out to touch the stone wall beside him, his eyes complicated:
"The existence of this road means that someone has walked on it before, but unfortunately their remains have been melted into the rock."
"Those who blaspheme will be punished by God!"
"I'm not interested in the things in the Forgotten City." Carl touched his chin:
"I just want to know, how can I leave?"
There was silence in the field.
Everyone looked at each other.
"leave?"
Jacqueline sighed, "There are at least two official knights outside, dozens of fully armed knight attendants, and there is only one way out."
"Unless you can unite with the people in other tunnels, there might be a chance."
There is more than one secret passage leading to the Forgotten City, but they are not connected to each other and cannot be communicated with each other.
Even if we get in touch, without the knights leading us, there is only a slight chance.
There is still a high possibility of failure.
Everyone in the field had a blank look on their faces. They had obviously accepted their fate, or had tried to resist but only ended up in despair.
"ah!"
Screams came from the front.
Jacqueline's face changed and she rushed forward.
It’s not that she is kind-hearted, but it’s her turn to explore the way ahead, so she naturally needs to be aware of the situation.
Carl looked at Xiaonan and Leon.
If he wanted to leave, he could do so at any time by just finding an empty place to hide in the fragment of the divine domain.
At worst, I can come back after a few months.
By then.
Whatever the city guards were going to do, it should be over now.
But what about Xiaonan and the others? Lead them into the fragment of the divine domain? This is impossible!
Not to mention that Carl has never tried to bring a living creature in, so he doesn't know if it will work. Even if it can, he won't do it.
The fragment of the divine realm is his biggest secret and he will never let anyone else know about it.
"Uncle."
Xiaonan's face turned pale:
"What should we do?"
yes!
what to do? …………
Every night, everyone will have some time to rest.
It’s not because the city guards are kind, but because the underground yin energy is very strong during this period, and exploring the way will result in heavy losses.
Let them take this opportunity to rest and recuperate.
“Swish!”
Carl stood up.
"Uncle." Xiaonan, who was in a daze, heard the noise and struggled to open his eyes:
"Where are you going?"
"I'll go check out the front." Carl said, "Take a rest."
"oh."
Xiaonan nodded, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Exploring the road was not easy. He had to be on guard against danger all the time and he was exhausted a long time ago.
No one paid any attention to Carl.
"clatter……"
In the dark tunnel, the only sound was Carl's footsteps.
“Hiss…”
There was a strange noise coming from the front, as if something was approaching.
“Bang!”
Carl snapped his fingers.
Light magic! A blinding light suddenly appeared, illuminating the entire place. The creatures in the darkness were obviously not used to such strong light and retreated one after another.
“Hmm…”
Carl looked thoughtful, then stepped forward.
Read more of the latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!
Since we still have to explore the road tomorrow, we might as well take a look at the road conditions ahead. Maybe we can find the Tibetans’ secret passage.
If possible, he didn't intend to give up Xiaonan and the other person.
Carl was surprised by the underground creatures' fear of bright light.
As they moved forward, all creatures within the area covered by the light dodged frantically and did not launch an attack at all.
This made his exploration easier.
“Crack!”
A crisp sound made Carl stop.
Under his feet was a piece of bone that had been broken by his step. Judging from the shape of the bone, it should be a human tibia.
"Leg bone?"
Frowning slightly, he continued to move forward.
As we went deeper, we saw more and more bones on the road, and even a few complete corpses.
This doesn't make sense! There are all kinds of strange creatures in the tunnel. Even if there are bones left by the predecessors, they will be eaten clean by them. Moreover, no one has been here for hundreds of years. Even if there are bones, they should have decayed long ago.
now……
"No aliens? The bones are still there?"
Carl raised his head and looked forward, his expression became solemn, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
continue!
The light source created by the light magic floats above the head, illuminating everything around as if it were daytime.
At some point, the sounds of the aliens crawling and climbing disappeared from my ears.
There are only more and more bones.
There is almost no space to stay.
Turning the corner, his vision suddenly became extremely wide, and the scene he saw made Carl's breathing stop, and he almost couldn't continue casting the light spell.
In front of me is a square the size of several stadiums.
The square was littered with corpses.
Countless bones are either running wildly, roaring, or waving weapons, as if a scene on the battlefield was frozen in time.
Like,
A group of people were fighting, and suddenly they were deprived of their lives by some kind of existence. Time and space stopped, and their corpses still maintained the last movement they made before death.
Weapons and weapons are everywhere!
The murderous aura was overwhelming! The dead silence was terrifying! …
Carl's eyes narrowed, and an extremely dangerous and longing emotion came from the fragment of the divine realm.
And the direction...
In front of the battlefield.
That city wrapped in evil spirit! The Forgotten City!
This was the first time that Carl sensed emotional fluctuations coming from the fragments of the divine realm, which were monotonous but very clear.
Both fear and desire.
Karl's eyes flickered and he slowly took a step back.
He didn't know what the fragment of the divine realm desired, nor did he want to know. He only knew that the existence that could make it feel dangerous was definitely not something he could touch at present.
“Crack!”
I stepped on bones again.
The sound is not loud.
It was like an invisible ripple, quietly emerging on the battlefield, and wherever it passed, all the bones turned to ashes.
"call……"
The ashes were scattered all over the battlefield.
"bite!"
In the dead silence, the sound of something falling was particularly eye-catching.
Carl subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a round ring rolling back and forth on the ground among the ashes.
