229. The Forsaken City
The witch crusade of the illusory world continues, but this coordinate change makes a group of people so angry that they vomit blood, and the forum is paralyzed by the most powerful scolding since the opening of the phantom world, and all the players are spraying this brain-dead activity.
Because this instantaneous change in coordinates spans two continents, the players of Charlotte Bay are already rejoicing, ready to welcome the arrival of the boss.
As a result, this witch boss flashed and appeared thousands of miles away in an instant.
Several guilds that had just gathered were angry and vomited blood, and one of the guild leaders who didn't have a good heart was directly blasted into the system to warn, and then directly disconnected, making the guild members look at each other and be very worried.
And the new location of this BOSS, after players in the Asarta continent turned over the geographical location, found that it was actually the local activity area of another continent:
"Abandoned Skebia": The city in the sky that has fallen to the ground, stopping at the end of the clouds, is calling for those who can save it.
This is an event for the area of Cloud Return City, where players are busy clearing out the strange and unpredictable monsters in Sky City, and they have no time to wander around the forum and follow the witch's footprints. What's more, most of the people have lost a lot in the battle with the monsters, and they don't have the energy to pay attention to the world boss that was originally far away in the east, and most of the players online don't know that the witch has approached their city.
Since Skabia is connected to the cloud return city on the ground, the elite players spontaneously formed an exploration team and followed the black pillar of light into the sky city, and gained a lot, while the players on the ground are also fighting with monsters, desperately plundering the loot and accumulating the number of kills, and the steady rise of experience points is very useful to everyone, and no one cares about the world boss that is running around.
The activity in front of him is going on, who cares if the player is beaten by that witch thousands of miles away?
Lin Ziyue naturally didn't know about these things.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
At this time, she raised her head, and beside her stood people she trusted, also preparing to set foot on the ancient city that had been left behind in the years, and the city in the sky was like a tombstone, hanging far away among the clouds in the sky.
"Let's go. ”
Lin Ziyue said, raising the moon staff in his hand, which had been prepared for renewal, and a moon shield with a radius of five meters suddenly appeared, carrying everyone to the sky, like a glowing flying saucer.
In addition to Xuanyuan Yu, Cold Ghost King, and Luo Ling behind her, Meng Li and Xuanyuan Yan were also there, and Blue was also standing on the side of the team with his hands behind his back, and Lei Xie was standing next to him, seemingly interested in Skebia's mode of operation, and asked Blue some questions from time to time, as if to discuss the possibility of rebuilding a similar city in Liuhe.
Yan Crow squatted on Lin Ziyue's left shoulder, and a small red fox the size of a fist lay on her right shoulder, looking like a delicate rag doll, Lin Ziyue talked to her, and the name of this little fox was "Gu Yilan".
is the protagonist of the resurrection mission.
However, when the task was completed, Lin Ziyue didn't hear the prompt, it is better to say that since she met with V and "died" once, the main system has been completely out of news since then, and the Book of Destiny has been hiding itself, but Lin Ziyue knows that guy must be watching everything secretly, even if Lin Ziyue can jump out of cause and effect without being observed by him, but other people around her can't get out of the shroud of fate.
The Book of Fate severed the connection between the main system and Lin Ziyue, and now she can't use the storage space, nor can she call up the task interface, but it has become the same situation as Xuanyuan Yu and others.
The moon shield floated up, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, but most of them were busy fighting monsters, and even if they saw it, they didn't pay attention to it.
However, in the corner of Cloud Return City, there is a person dressed in a neat assassin's costume lying on the top of the wall to be on guard, and two women are attacking a monster together under the broken wall.
At this moment, the eyes of the three thousand troubles who were constantly looking around widened, and there was a monocle with a pinched ear hanging on his left eye, with the Eagle Eye skill, which could be turned on for more than a thousand meters of sight for a minute. So Sanqian can see it very clearly, although the person standing on the moon shield is dressed like he is acting in a costume drama, but the ice cube face with the sword on his waist, as well as the couple at the head, the crow on the woman's shoulder and the inch yang in the man's hand, he is very familiar.
Anyway, it's also a friend who played with each other every day more than a month ago.
It's still a coincidence to say that one person, but when such a strange trio comes together, it can't be someone else.
Sanqian was holding half of the dry bread that had recovered HP in his mouth, and at this time he also fell to the ground because of surprise, but he couldn't care about it at this time, and hurriedly shouted at the two people under the wall: "Hey, hey! Violent girl!
He didn't reply to a cage of meat buns, and fiercely chiseled the infected small demon-shaped dog in front of him into the wall with an axe: "What a UFO, maybe where will you come from to get a piece of the soup!
The wall shook violently, almost not being knocked down by her axe back, the demon-shaped dog wailed twice and kicked its legs still, and the black and white boy suddenly put down the four-leaf clover in his hand as a healing skill, and the three people in the team received a hint of increasing points at the same time.
The black and white boy raised his head and shouted at Sanqian: "Stupid thing, what are you looking at! I said that you should quickly find out where there are small monsters, so we can go and touch some points and equipment materials! This broken dog has lost nothing but a few pieces of dog meat!"
Sanqian was too excited to sort out the language for a while, so he was scolded by the two girls for a while, and then he finally couldn't wait to speak: "I saw it! It's the moon shadow in the forest! There is also a shadow dance and a long dream of a sword! The three of them stepped on a floating disc with a group of weird people! Flew towards the sky city like aliens!"
Baozi's eyes softened a lot, but there was a little pity in his eyes: "Sanqian, have you stayed up too long and started daydreaming......?
Black and White Boy's eyes flickered for a moment, but she didn't rush to open her mouth to taunt Sanqian together, but raised her head and searched the air for the disc that Sanqian said. It didn't take much effort for the black and white boy to see the moon shield that was flying close to the black pillar of light, because in the air where only monsters came and went, there were many glowing discs that were being attacked by monsters falling behind it, which was quite conspicuous.
Baozi noticed that the black and white boy looked up, so he also looked over, and saw the disc followed by a string of flying monsters, and saliva seemed to flow down his mouth: "Wow, there are so many monsters, we can't eat them, if only we could brush them......"
Black and White Boy suddenly spoke: "I have a way to fly, the clover can go up, anyway, I can hold it up to the place where the black pillar of light is." ”
Sanqian's eyes widened: "Are you serious? Let's go up and deliver food to the monsters!? Those high-level monsters at first glance we can't bear it at all-"
"Sister Yue, they all went up. The tone of the black and white boy was very firm, which made the bun turn his head in confusion.
"Cub, are you serious? Can you confirm?"
Black and White nodded: "It's basically okay." Besides, although Sanqian is a little skinny, his eyes are always fine. ”
Baozi echoed kindly: "Also, a bad brain will not affect that eagle eye skill." ”
"You two can't talk behind your back! Don't speak ill of people to your face, hey!"
Sanqian only felt that his teeth were sore, these two guys couldn't fight and scold, but they would always stand in the same camp and a piece of iron, especially against him.
Sanqian thinks he's so innocent! How did he get into this group of strange netizens in the first place!
But thinking so, if he dared to say this, Sanqian knew that he would be sentenced to death by these two people.
Black and White released three large umbrella-like clovers, and as soon as she raised her hand, the three of them were each wrapped around their waists by blades of grass, and the three-petaled leaves at the top suddenly spun up, and in the weird buzzing sound, the three of them flew up to the sky.
Sanqian tightly grabbed the stalk of the clover on his waist, for fear of falling: "I said that you are not reliable!"
Black and White stuck out his tongue at him: "How do I know! I haven't flown so high!"
Baozi looked very heartless, pointed to it and shouted: "The disc flew into the black pillar of light! Those monsters are scattered, and they seem to be falling back into the city......"
Black and White Boy's eyes widened, and the figures of the three people suddenly fell down: "Don't bring this! Run, run, run, they are flying this way!"
Sanqian covered his face and wailed: "I said that we are here to deliver food!
At the same time, Lin Ziyue, who had just entered the pillar of light, subconsciously glanced back.
"I always feel like I heard something just now. ”
Yan Crow smacked his lips: "Delusion, right? There are no acquaintances here, is someone coming to you to catch up?
Xuanyuan Yu suddenly remembered something: "Where did you say three thousand last time?"
"They returned to Cloud City for the last communication, wouldn't it be such a coincidence?" Lin Ziyue muttered: "Let's go to Skebia again, it will be a real no-man's land, they shouldn't climb up to ......"
Everyone looked at the dozen or so monsters that were still wandering outside, and Meng Li complained with a cold face: "If you climb up, you will die back." ”
"Yes. Xuanyuan Yu shrugged, he knew very well about the player's ability range, naturally he wouldn't expect too much from those three guys, even if they really came up, they would be beaten back by the monster and resurrected every minute, not so much to help, but to drag them back.
Yan Crow tilted his head: "The pressure on me from above is a bit great." ”
Blue opened his mouth to answer their doubts: "The barrier of Skabia is still there, and since the communication system is still functioning, then in the same way, the suppression barrier in the system may also be working. Even if most of them have been scrapped, the energy cores of the spirit beads everywhere will not be damaged, and naturally the spirit power can be intermittently operated everywhere, so the monsters in Skabia still maintain a strong suppression. ”
"It's no wonder that as soon as this place stopped to connect to the ground, those monsters couldn't wait to move away, probably driven by instinct to repel the spiritual power in this city. I thought the discomfort was a delusion. Xuanyuan Yan sighed.
"You're too nervous. Meng Li said lightly: "This enchantment shouldn't have too drastic effects on us, it's the relationship between Yan Crow and Taicai." ”
Xuanyuan Yan shook his head, of course he didn't tell Meng Li that he had a premonition of discomfort before.
Yan Crow was not happy: "Who are you talking about? Believe it or not, this master will smoke you!"
Xuanyuan Yu held Lin Ziyue's hand that was holding the moon cane, and her hand was a little cold: "No matter what happens, I'm here." ”
After a few seconds of silence, he added, "We're all here." ”
The moon shield emitted a bright and faint moonlight in a dark pillar of light, constantly rising.
Until heavy, dark clouds enveloped it, obscuring the gentle and ethereal light.
When the light reappeared in front of me, it was a faint firelight similar to the afterglow of the setting sun, as fleeting as the last vitality of the city.
From time to time, the tiny sparks burst out of the corners of the decaying halls, winked at the guests of the desolate city, and then leaped through the cracks of those lamps or cables, rolled on the ground for a moment, and ended its short life.
"The leakage of spiritual power is not the same as electricity, and it is not lethal to us. "Blue can tell the difference between these things just at a glance.
"Skebia is a circulating spiritual power system composed of the separate operation of each spirit bead and the fusion of the center, so it can exist on its own for so many years without anyone controlling it...... But it seems that the system is close to being unable to hold up, so it will urgently stop at Yungui City according to the established route, which was originally a repair point in Skebia that focuses on cultivation. ”
"The location of this ascending circle was originally a logistics center where people came and went. ”
Blue's words were very light, and they fell on this room full of fire marks, and it seemed to make the white bones who were crushed under the broken wall tilt their heads slightly, recalling the prosperous memories.
But all that remained was the empty hall, and a wide staircase that snaked up collapsed, kicking up clouds of dust, as if those unjust spirits had crossed time and space to curse at the man who had set foot on his homeland again.
Blue looked up at the broken half of the staircase, a sneaky black shadow crawling slowly down the wall from the edge, but the scarlet eyes were fixed on the outsiders who had broken into its "lair".
It was a huge black lizard, but it had human hands on its back, waving like people in hell, and those hands were covered with barbed scales, and they looked disgusting.
Xuanyuan Yu took a step forward, but was stopped by a glance from Blue.
Blue looked at the black lizard again, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable rage, mixed with grief and mourning.
"This is my city, let me do it. ”
His voice was still soft, but it seemed to wake up the dust in the dark corner, and a fierce spiritual power splashed out of the line.
The hall was lit up for a moment.
Lin Ziyue and the others had actually sensed it for a long time, but this time, they could see it more clearly.
The corners are full of white bones, humanoids, with spine flying double forks and wings.
The stream of spiritual power that fell to the ground was like a stranded fish, constantly tumbling and writhing.
Reflecting Blue's increasingly distorted face.
and tears sliding from the corners of his eyes.
This man, who had never shown weakness, could not hold back his tears in front of the city that made him think about it for a long time, in front of the rotting and collapsed bones of his kind.
