Chapter Two Thousand and Seven: To the City of Fear
2007
"Can you beat them?" Cavendish asked.
"What do you think?" asked Xu Taiping with a smirk.
"Surely!" said Cavendis.
"I haven't fought them either, but, come to think of it, it should be fine, but... There are not only ghost generals in the city of fear, but also many other very powerful people, even if they are ghost generals, they can only play a supervisory role in their respective areas, and they can't control the area where they are located at all, only the ghost king has the power to command others, the ghost king is the strongest person in the entire city of fear, I haven't seen the ghost king, I don't know how much his specific strength is, so, if we can, I suggest that we choose to enter the ghost temple during the day, and ensure that the ghost king is outside at that time, so that it will be much easier for us to enter the sealed land, to be honest, I don't want to fight the ghost king in the city of fearγ Xu Taiping said.
"This... Mr. Xu, I forgot to mention that the best time to enter the Sealed Land is at twelve o'clock in the evening. Cavendish said with some embarrassment.
"Huh?" Xu Taiping looked at Cavendish in astonishment and said, "You say it again?"
"I've checked the literature, and the time to enter the Sealed Land can only be from twelve to one o'clock in the evening, which means that we can only enter the Ghost God Temple at night. Cavendish said.
"You mean that we can't avoid the ghost king and the ghost general, right?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Yes, to be exact. Cavendish nodded.
"Very good, great, great!" Xu Taiping gave a thumbs up and said, "This is cool, you can face seventeen ghost generals and one ghost king at once!"
"You don't have to face them. Cavendish said.
"Oh, why?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Because, I heard, these days, the City of Fear seems to be re-electing the Ghost King, whoever can defeat the Ghost King can become the master of the Ghost God Temple, enter the Ghost God Temple, and become the new Ghost King, if you go and defeat the current Ghost King, then the Ghost God Temple is yours, that is, you only need to face one Ghost King!" Cavendish said.
"Just these days?" Xu Taiping asked, he knew that the City of Fear would re-elect the Ghost King every once in a while, in a place like the City of Fear, whoever was strong would be qualified to challenge the Ghost King, but he didn't expect the time to be so coincidental, just in these few days.
"Yes, just in the past few days, I arranged for someone to enter the City of Fear in advance and heard the news, the Ghost King is said to have killed three challengers in the past few days, and now there is no one to challenge him, if no one challenges him in another day, he can continue to be the Ghost King, so, we must go to the City of Fear today, and defeat him before he is re-elected as the Ghost King. Cavendish said.
"Then shouldn't I also stay in the City of Fear?" Xu Taiping asked with a frown.
"This doesn't need to be, after you change your appearance, take down the ghost king, live in the city of fear, and then we open the sealed place, take the sword of the god killing and leave, as long as you leave the city of fear, then it doesn't matter what the ghost king is, they don't have the ghost king, so they will naturally choose another one." I won't come out and arrest you as a ghost king. Cavendish said.
"If you say that, this method will work!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "Let's wait until we get there." β
"Okay, anyway, remember that the time to enter the Sealed Land is from twelve to one o'clock in the evening!" Cavendish said.
"Hmm!"
The train moved quickly, and a few hours later, the train pulled into a small Nordic city.
Subsequently, Xu Taiping and the others had changed their appearance at this time, and they walked out of the car together.
There was already a car waiting outside the train station, Xu Taiping and others got on the train together, and then went further north.
At this time, the further north you go, the colder and more desolate the weather becomes.
It was more than a hundred kilometers from the train station to the City of Fear, and after about fifty kilometers of driving, there was no asphalt road, and instead there was a dirt road.
As far as the eye can see, there are mountains in the distance, and in the near distance, they are barren.
I don't know when, it snowed outside the car window, and the wind blew.
The wind was not strong at first, but as it went further north, it became stronger and stronger.
The wind kept beating against the windows, thumping, and the wind blew in through some cracks in the car, making a sound like a ghost's scream, which was very uncomfortable to listen to.
The eldest cousin curled up nervously and said, "In this place, why is even the wind so weird, how can this wind have a sound!"
"It probably has something to do with the terrain. Xu Taiping looked out the window and said, "However, it may also be related to the ghosts here, after all, this place is very close to the City of Fear, and the ghosts of the City of Fear are not allowed to fly here." β
"Brother Xu, don't be like this, you say so, I'll wait a while and go back by car. The eldest cousin said excitedly.
"But it's a huge market. Xu Taiping said seriously, "There are all kinds of vicious people gathered here, I have been in them for a while, because this place is too desolate and terrifying, so even arms dealers are not willing to sell weapons here, and their demand for weapons is very large, so if you can overcome these difficulties and start a business, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money!"
"I hope so," said the eldest cousin, trembling slightly, "I also thought that there should be business to be done in this place, so I came here." β
Xu Taiping smiled and didn't say anything.
The car kept driving forward, and seeing that it was less than ten kilometers away from the City of Fear, at this moment, the car suddenly stopped, and the whole car turned off directly!
"What's going on?!" Cavendish asked.
"I didn't know that the car suddenly stopped. The driver said as he tried to get the car back on, but found that it was all in vain.
The car won't start at all.
"It's possible that the wind and snow are too big and the power system of the car is wrong, so I'll go down and take a look. The driver said, opened the door and got out of the car, then walked to the front of the car and opened the hood.
The wind and snow kept blowing on the windows, and as the car turned off, the heating in the car stopped supplying, and the temperature of the whole car also dropped rapidly, and at this time, the wind and snow suddenly became much stronger!
After checking the car, the driver returned to the driver's seat, opened the door and said, "Boss, the car is broken, we must walk to the City of Fear." β
"Walking?" Cavendish said excitedly, "How do you let me walk in such a big snowstorm?"
"If we don't go, the temperature in the car will soon drop to freezing, and we will all be frozen!" the driver shouted.
"Let's go. Xu Taiping said, "This wind and snow will not stop for a while and a half, and the city of fear in our bureau will not be ten kilometers away, if you go faster, you can reach it in about an hour." β
"It's too big, why don't you wait a little smaller?" Cavendish said.
"If it's not small, stay in the car, and in a few hours, all of you will die except me. Xu Taiping said.
"That's... Let's go. Cavendish said helplessly.
Then, the people in the car picked up everything in the car that could keep them warm, wrapped them around their bodies, opened the car door and walked down.
I don't know if I don't open the door, as soon as I open the door, the wind swept the blizzard and hit the face, and it hurt people for a while.
"Why is this wind and snow so big, it's so terrifying!!" the eldest cousin said excitedly.
"Go forward, everyone, pull this rope so as not to get lost!" Xu Taiping shouted with a rope.
Afterwards, everyone grabbed the rope.
Xu Taiping, as the most powerful person, naturally walked at the front of the rope, behind Xu Taiping was Michaella, she grabbed the rope with one hand, and the other hand tightly grasped Xu Taiping's clothes, behind Michaelella was Cavendish Sh, behind Cavendish was the eldest cousin, and then Duanmu Huaze, who was in charge of the back of the palace, was the driver.
The group grabbed the rope and headed towards the City of Fear under the leadership of Xu Taiping.
The wind and snow are getting bigger and stronger.
The thinner ones, such as Michaelella, would have been almost blown away by the wind and snow, and if it weren't for the rope grabbing her, Michaelella would have been swept away by the wind and snow.
The strength of this wind far exceeds that of an ordinary tropical storm.
Although Xu Taiping led the way, everyone still had a hard time moving forward.
At this moment, two pillars of light suddenly shot from behind Xu Taiping and them, and then, a low engine sound came from far and near...
A truck slowly drove to Xu Taiping's side.
"Get in the car. The truck driver lowered the window and shouted to Xu Taiping.
The driver looked forty or fifty years old, with two thick beards under his nose and a cigar in his mouth.
Xu Taiping glanced at the back of the truck, and at the back of the truck was a container, the door of the container was closed, and he couldn't see what was inside.
"Get in the car. "Otherwise, we won't be able to walk, it's too cold, it's too windy!"
"Well, let's get in the car. Xu Taiping nodded, although the car appeared a little abruptly, but... It's better to be able to take a car than to walk, as for whether there will be any accidents because of this, Xu Taiping doesn't care at all, there will be no accidents if he is there.
A group of people climbed straight into the truck.
Behind the driver's seat of the truck is a lot of space for a lot of people to sit in.
The inside of the truck was heated, blowing away the cold from the people.
"Are you going to the City of Fear?" asked the driver as he drove.
"Yes. Master, are you going too?" asked the eldest cousin.
"Yes, I'm here to deliver supplies to the City of Fear. The driver grinned, "Every year, I can meet people like you who want to go to the City of Fear, but the wind and snow outside the City of Fear are so terrifying that many people's cars will break down on the road, and your car should also break down on the road, right?"
"Yes!" the eldest cousin nodded, and then asked, "Master, what kind of supplies are you sending in this car?"
"Send meat. The driver said with a smile.
