Chapter 137: City Lord
After dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers outside, Kun Yu rushed to the City Lord's Mansion not far away before the darkness completely descended.
The city lord's mansion was dark, and the animal grease lamps on the pillars had long since dried up.
There was not much furniture in the large castle lord's mansion, and the only ones that remained were broken.
Qing Yu frowned and pinched a piece of torn leather, the body under the leather was already highly decomposed.
But strangely, there was no imaginary sight of mosquitoes flying around, only a small insect with a pitch-black carapace crawling among the corpses.
Kun Yu stepped forward and stepped on a small beetle, and with a slight effort, the beetle shattered, turning into a dark energy floating in the air.
Looking at the energy that flew out, Kun Yu said softly.
"It's more eroded than you think, don't move things around, if you get infected, it's a hassle to deal with. ”
As soon as the words fell, the tiger-headed man let out a hehe, put his hand on the dry grease lamp, and looked at Kun Yu with a strange twist, his eyes were dark.
Kun Yu stepped forward and slapped the other party in the face, and the energy in his hand worked, sucking out the dark energy that had invaded the tiger's head.
After a while, the tiger-headed man with his head hanging down shook his neck and raised his head blankly.
Kun Yu asked strangely.
"Why are you again?"
Dahan scratched his head in embarrassment, and couldn't say why, so he could only smirk vigorously.
The mysterious trialist on the side asked with a strange face.
"Don't you say, it's a hassle to deal with?"
Kun Yu said as he looked around.
"Yes, to wake you up, you don't know how much effort it takes, and you have to use your strength, I'm afraid that a slap will slap you, it's very troublesome. ”
The three of them looked at Kun Yu, who was looking at a serious joke at the same time, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
The entire City Lord's Mansion was eroded by the dark energy, but this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that in the City Lord's Mansion, Kun Yu could clearly feel a strong dark aura.
But now I have searched almost the entire City Lord's Mansion and found nothing.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, an irritating whisper sounded, and the black fog gradually began to envelop the entire city.
A trace of black mist spilled down the wide open portal towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Kun Yu stood in front of everyone solemnly, staring straight at the mist drifting inward.
A grinding sound was heard.
A flash of fire appeared in front of Kun Yu's eyes, his eyes widened slightly, and the red knife flew out and stood in front of him.
The flickering light of the fire touched the dry grease lamp, and the dry grease lamp was lit.
The light of the fire floating in the air shook off and went out.
The grease lamp made a screeching sound, and a trace of dark dark energy fell on the grease lamp, and the flame the size of a bean seedling burned violently as if it had been poured oil.
A violent cough was heard, and under the light of the flames, a somewhat withered figure appeared in the firelight.
The wide hides were draped over the emaciated body like sackcloth.
The flint in his hand shone again, lighting the next grease lamp.
Soon the entire city lord's mansion was illuminated by the firelight, and the surging dark energy became the accelerant of the grease lamp, and Si's burned in the flames.
The emaciated figure struggled to straighten his body and looked slightly up at Kun Yu who was standing in the first place.
A shrill question came out like metal rubbing.
"Are you here to save my subjects?"
Kun Yu was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"You're the owner of this?"
The emaciated body, coughing violently, walked up the stone steps with difficulty, sat on the wide seat facing the door, stared at the surging black mist with confused eyes, and muttered.
"I am the king of this place, this is my home, and they are all my subjects. ”
Kun Yu raised his eyebrows, he really didn't see it, this is still a king, but from the fact that his body has been eroded like this, he still has his own thinking, and it can be seen that his strength is definitely not weak.
"Then why is this happening?"
Wang Wei, who was sitting in the chair, closed his eyes and fell into memory.
"I'll tell you a story, it's been a long time, and I can finally tell this story. ”
"Once upon a time, there were creatures here that had been driven out by the monsters of the jungle, and they were all weak and good, and they were basically herbivores. ”
"But as the bottom of the food chain, they don't have a choice. ”
"But one day, a strange creature was born in the tribe, and as soon as he was born, thunder flashed in the sky, and as soon as he could walk, he had the power that ordinary creatures did not have. ”
"The little guy grew up very quickly, and the tribe was very happy, until one day, the little guy was beaten by one of the elders of the tribe. ”
"The elder is something he respects very much, he is very aggrieved and doesn't know what he did wrong. ”
The elder pointed to the blood stains all over the ground, and his trembling body refused to speak for a long time. ”
"Only then did he until, he turned out to be a carnivorous creature, that creature up the food chain, and he began to fear. ”
"Because when he saw the fat creatures of his race, he instinctively longed in his heart, a desire to devour everything. ”
This longing tormented him from sleeping peacefully every day. ”
"Until a moonlit night, the little fellow, unable to bear the restlessness in his heart any longer, took advantage of the night to leave the tribe. ”
The next day, during the day, the elders found several gnawed corpses in the clan's territory, closed their eyes in agony, and announced that they would remove him. ”
Since then, this carnivorous creature that grows among herbivores has disappeared. ”
"Time passed quickly, this tribe had no natural enemies and no disturbances, the speed of development was unusual, and soon, each clan found that they already had the ability to shapeshift. ”
At this moment, the long-vanished carnivorous creature reappeared, and he was full of joy to tell everyone that he had been able to restrain the desire of his heart, and that he wanted to return. ”
But all that awaited him was endless fear and disgust, and he was very puzzled, and he did not understand why this was so, and he wanted to explain, but no one wanted to listen to him. ”
Soon, the carnivorous creature left again, only this time, but with a lot of resentment. ”
"In a flash, a hundred years have passed. ”
"The tribes that were originally gathered here have also begun to diverge, and small cities have appeared on the land, and the creatures have multiplied more rapidly, and the scale of civilization has become larger. ”
However, suddenly one day, a dark creature appeared in the territory, and he laughed wildly at the entire territory, and then turned into black mist in the confusion of everyone. ”
"At that time, the sky was overcast, and the warm sunlight was covered by this thick darkness, and all the people who had been exposed to the black fog became extremely bloodthirsty and furious. ”
"The great war broke out, almost one-sided, and the fledgling civilization vanished in an instant, leaving only the only royal city to tremble in the black fog. ”
When the story was finished, the voice of the person who spoke it was hoarse, and the ears of the people who heard it were clogged.
Kun Yu scratched his head and asked with some puzzlement.
"Then why are there still those creatures that are still alive?"
The figure sitting on the chair rolled his eyes and looked at Kun Yu, his tone full of indifference.
"They, they are all despicable creatures, they have succumbed to the darkness in their hearts, they have chosen to become one with the darkness, they have changed the fundamentals. ”
"They thought they could survive that way. ”
"It's a pity, heh, it's a pity......"
Kun Yu looked at the city lord.
"What about you?"
"Me?" said the city lord indifferently.
"Of course, I am also the one who surrenders to the darkness, I have a desire in my heart that cannot be separated, I am willing to surrender to the darkness, knowing who can break through the darkness and save my subjects. ”
Kun Yu nodded, he understood, the most burning desire in this city lord's heart was that his subjects could wake up and come back to life again.
For this desire, he was willing to dance with the darkness and fall into this endless darkness.
Kun Yu sighed and stopped talking.
After a long time, the city lord retracted his gaze, looked at Kun Yu, and said softly.
"I see that you also have dark energy in you, are you also a member of the surrender of the shadows?"
Kun Yu spread out his palm, and the pure dark energy was released, surging in his hand.
"Is that what you're talking about?"
The city lord's eyes widened suddenly, and his thin body staggered down from his seat, crawling at Kun Yu's feet.
Standing up straight, carefully probing the energy in Kun Yu's hand.
He kept muttering.
"This, this, this is ......"
After thinking about it for a long time, the city lord didn't come up with a word, he roared angrily, and the quasi-emperor's breath hit Kun Yu's body, and the bursting energy rumbled in the surrounding space.
Pitch-black cracks opened and closed around him.
Kun Yu and the others widened their eyes and quickly took a few steps back, Qing Yu covered his slightly open red lips and whispered in surprise.
"He, he's a quasi-emperor?!"
I didn't expect this small figure to burst out with such might, and this strength made Kun Yu stunned for a while.
After a long time, the spatial crack disappeared, and the momentum of the riot calmed down.
The city lord regained his thin image again, turned around, stared at Kun Yu, and asked.
"Are you here to save my subjects?"
Kun Yu twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded.
The city lord lowered his head, walked up the steps, and sat down on the seat, staring blankly at the door.
Kun Yu looked at this posture and had a bad premonition in his heart.
"I'll tell you a story, it's been a long time, and I can finally tell this story. ”
No way!
Rolled back?
Kun Yu turned his face to look behind him, and the three of them looked at Kun Yu at the same time, their expressions were full of complexity, but as soon as they remembered the quasi-emperor's momentum just now, the four of them were silent again, and they stayed there quietly and waited quietly for each other to finish.
Finally, at dawn, the lord of the city finally finished the long story again.
This time, Kun Yu learned to be obedient and did not show his energy.
Asked directly.
"How can I save your subjects?"
The city lord glanced at Kun Yu, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Approaching Kun Yu's body, he sniffled vigorously and asked.
"I see that you also have dark energy in you, are you also a member of the surrender of the shadows?"
"Don't!"
Three voices sounded hurriedly behind Kun Yu.
The corners of Kun Yu's eyes jumped wildly.
