At noon the next day, Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong arrived outside a magnificent ancient city.
At this moment, countless prison cars stopped in the distance, waiting to enter the city.
There were too many prison cars. Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong did not see where Pang Batu's prison car was. They were mixed in among them.
Of course, they did not deliberately look for Pangbatu, but randomly found a place to stop, preparing to blend in with the crowd and enter the city.
At the same time, Zhang Chu began to observe the entire Bianhuang Sin City.
Different from the desolation of the Exile Road, the deserted Sin City here is majestic and full of vitality. The city walls towering into the sky are like cast steel, reflecting the cold light.
In front of the ancient city, there are many towering ancient trees.
Those ancient trees exude a fragrant fragrance, and you can smell the refreshing fragrance from a long distance away.
Among the dense trunks of the ancient trees, there were many unusual birds, all of which were scavenging birds. Their eyes were full of greed, staring at the large prison cars.
On the city wall, a majestic ancient statue stood at the head of the city.
The posture of the statue was weird. The eyes were plucked out and were hollow. One hand was turned into an eagle's talon and it was grasping towards the sky.
Although it was just a statue of a god, Zhang Chu inexplicably felt waves of dangerous aura coming from it.
Not far away, someone escorting the prison van whispered a reminder: "Remember everything clearly. As long as you take a look at the stone statue, no matter what happens, you can't turn your back to the stone statue, otherwise you will die miserably!"
Most of the escorts had actually known the rules for a long time. After standing still, they kept facing the stone statues on the city wall, looking very nervous.
Zhang Chu's heart tightened and he asked Xiao Wutong in a low voice: "Is there still such a rule?"
Xiao Wutong shook his head: "I don't know, it's my first time here too."
At this time, Zhang Chu looked at the prison car, because in the prison car, many prisoners were being escorted in a scattered manner, and many prisoners had their backs to the stone statues.
"There's no danger. Aren't these prisoners always facing the stone statues?" Zhang Chu said in a low voice.
However, at this moment, a prisoner who had his back turned to the stone statue subconsciously looked back and glanced at the stone statue, perhaps after hearing some kind of reminder.
The next moment, the prisoner's back began to rot, and even his clothes withered.
However, the prisoner didn't feel anything unusual. He turned around with a puzzled look on his face and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it just a statue...what's so great about it."
But when he lowered his head, he realized that his legs were covered with black blood. He screamed in horror: "Ah!"
Snap, half of his neck was dissolved, and finally it could no longer support the weight of his head. His head folded back, and in just a few breaths, it turned into a pool of blood.
As for the other people in his cage, although they watched him die tragically, no one wailed or screamed.
Everyone's eyes were dull, as if they had long accepted their fate.
When Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong saw this scene, they were immediately frightened. Are the stone statues on the big city meant to prevent people from leaving the Border Desert City?
"When..." an ancient bell rang.
From the city wall, a majestic voice came: "Clean the prison van, don't let the dead in."
After the sound fell, countless scavenging birds came out of the towering trees in front of the ancient city, scrambling to fly towards the prison car.
Those little birds rushed into the prison car and did not attack the living people. Instead, they found the dead people. With their sharp claws and beaks, they tore the corpses into countless pieces and ate them to their heart's content.
It was a feast. After many birds pecked off a thigh, they flew into the sky and returned to their nests.
There are also some small birds that burrow directly into the chest cavity of the dead body and scurry around inside the body.
There are also some birds that keep a close eye on those who are dying and directly tear off the rotting legs of those people...
At this moment, the people in the prison car also howled in pain:
"Get out, get out, I'm not dead yet, don't eat my legs, I'm not dead yet..."
"Don't eat my son. My son is still alive. Eat my flesh!"
"Get out, get out, my wife is still breathing!"
Large pieces of corpses were carried into the sky by these birds.
The bones were also picked up by those birds and flew up. They were smashed on the rocks of the towering ancient trees. After the marrow was thrown out, a group of carrion birds surrounded them and drank them all.
Zhang Chu was shocked. The fragrance emitted by these trees made Zhang Chu realize that it was because they absorbed human bone marrow that they had such a fragrant fragrance.
Gradually, the dead bodies in the cages disappeared, and many cages were empty, with less than half of them alive.
"Dang..." Another bell rang, the city gate slowly opened, and a group of strange sheep ran out of the city.
This group of strange sheep only has one horn and one eye. The eye is located on the back of the head and looks strange.
This is 丶丶!
Zhang Chu had encountered such creatures before when he was on Xinlu. Unexpectedly, they appeared in groups here.
It can be seen that these dogs were walking backwards, holding an iron plate in their mouths, and soon entered between the prison cars.
Then, he gave the iron plate to the person escorting the prison car, and as if it was an exchange, he pulled the prison car and walked towards the city gate.
Those guarding the prison car stood still and allowed the prison car to be pulled away by these strange sheep.
Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong were confused when they saw this.
"Oh, won't these escorts enter Bianhuang Sin City?" Xiao Wutong scratched his head.
Originally, Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong wanted to walk through the crowd. In this case, if they wanted to enter the city, they would have to follow the prison car.
At this moment, a watcher not far away whispered: "Everyone is ready. After the third bell rings, the statue will disappear briefly. As soon as the statue disappears, you must leave here immediately, otherwise, you will have to wait until the next day." left."
"knew!"
"It's finally almost over. This trip has been really scary."
"After I went back, I slept with him for three days and three nights, but I was exhausted..."
The guards not far away were whispering, showing a sense of relaxation, while the leader of the guards spoke
At this time, Zhang Chu said: "It seems that no one is watching, let's go!"
Xiao Wutong nodded, gave Zhang Chu a void jumping talisman, and whispered: "If you encounter trouble, just tear open this talisman and you can escape instantly."
Zhang Chu put the Void Jump Talisman with him, and then the two of them followed a prison car and ran toward the city gate on foot.
Of course many guards saw Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong, and some people immediately exclaimed:
"Look, someone actually ran to Bianhuang Sin City by himself!"
"Do you want to die?"
"Perhaps he has offended a being that cannot be offended, and wants to go to war to seek a way out."
…
No one stopped Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong, they just followed the prison car pulled by the police towards the gate.
As soon as they entered the city, Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong's expressions changed slightly. The extremely dry and lack of spiritual energy made both of them uncomfortable.
However, it was just uncomfortable and did not affect the strength of the two people too much.
At this time, Zhang Chu saw that the prison car in front would disappear as soon as it crossed the city gate.
Xiao Wutong directly grabbed Zhang Chu's hand and whispered: "There may be turbulence in time and space."
Sure enough, as soon as the two people stepped into the city gate, the atmosphere in the surrounding space became chaotic.
They took one step forward, and the ground beneath their feet receded extremely quickly, as if the two of them had performed a magic trick that reduced the ground to an inch.
This was not traveling through the void, but under the influence of a certain force that made the two people move extremely fast, covering dozens of miles in an instant.
When Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong stopped, they looked back and found that the ancient city had become extremely small.
Moreover, countless corpses fell between the two people and the ancient city. Those bones were also wrapped in skin and bones. They did not rot, but were completely evaporated.
At this time, Xiao Wutong said: "It seems that it is impossible to return to the ancient city from here."
Zhang Chu nodded. Under his feet, a road led to the depths of the desert.
In the distance, a huge mushroom, like a blood tree, stood there.
At this moment, the huge mushroom exuded a sacred light and enveloped a large area.
The reason why Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong were not evaporated by the dry breath was because they were protected by the huge mushroom.
This is Ronghuang. The earth is dry and dry. Not only does there not be a trace of water vapor, but also there is no trace of spiritual power.
Most of the creatures living in the wilderness cannot cultivate. There is not a trace of spiritual power in the air, and they cannot feel what spiritual power is at all.
Even most humans or monsters who enter the war will lose their spiritual power after entering the war for a period of time.
Because the most fundamental source of the spiritual power of most creatures is the life well, and the life well of most creatures actually absorbs the spiritual power in the air.
Of course, people like Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong are not affected.
Because they are all genius-level beings, and they have all walked through the secret road in the starry sky when they were in the Mingjing realm.
After taking the secret path in the starry sky, the Well of Life is no longer just rooted in the surrounding void, but also rooted in the mysterious deep space of the universe.
Like Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong, even if there is no spiritual power in the surrounding space, their life wells can still have spiritual power flowing out.
The huge mushroom in the distance is Ronghuang's fungus of life, which Ronghuang calls the Giant God Mushroom.
According to rumors, after the war was formed, no living beings could survive, but there were always many creatures from the outside who accidentally entered the war.
After countless thousands of years of evolution, a kind of mushroom gradually emerged from the blood of those creatures, which adapted to the environment of war and wilderness.
Then, these mushrooms emitted divine power, supporting a living space and barely providing a place for some living creatures to survive.
After the creature dies, it needs to be buried at the feet of the giant mushroom so that the giant mushroom can continue to grow.
The creatures living in the wilderness survived tenaciously in such an environment.
Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong walked along the road at their feet towards the giant mushroom in the distance.
It was an extremely huge giant mushroom, with a red umbrella cover, like a huge pavilion, constantly exuding mysterious brilliance.
After approaching the Giant God Mushroom for a while, Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong saw that there were many people in rags under the Giant God Mushroom. They were picking up the spores dropped by the Giant God Mushroom and eating them.
And around these people, there were some scattered fragments of prison cars.
Zhang Chu knew that these were prisoners and they were free.
"These two people are so well dressed!" Someone was eating spores while looking at Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong with aggressive eyes.
Moreover, this man's voice did not care about Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong at all, and he was not afraid that Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong would hear him.
Around them, other prisoners dressed in tatters stared at Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong like hungry wolves.
"It seems that he is in the spirit-building realm."
"I didn't suffer any hardship on the road. I should have something valuable on me."
"Perhaps he is a prince or noble who committed a serious crime and was exiled here."
"A vote?"
"Kill the men and keep the women for fun."
The few people who were eating the spores came to an agreement in an instant.
Some of those who were actually exiled to the war may have been wronged, but the other majority were definitely extremely vicious people.
