150 The ruined city of Qianmo
After a long journey of ten days, Luo Huan and his party finally came to the ruined city located in the Qianmo Plain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"I haven't seen you for seven years, how has the ruined city changed so much?" Luo Huan stood in front of a towering city wall, he looked at the city in front of him and was stunned.
What started as a ruined city with a few thousand people is now bustling.
The walls of the ruined city were built very high and high, and the shape was like the wall of the imperial capital in those years.
On the top of the wall, those True Qi heavy cannons engraved with talisman formations were nowhere to be seen, and all kinds of mechanical heavy cannons with a cold luster were lined up.
"After seven years of not seeing each other, the civilization upgrade tree in the Sacred Domain has changed from true qi to science and technology as the primary productive force?" Luo Huan complained and walked towards the city gate.
Walking near the city gate, Luo Huan was pleasantly surprised to find that the world was still familiar - on the ground at the entrance to the city, there was a huge magic circle.
Before anyone enters the city, they must be detected by the circle.
Luo Huan, who decided to follow the customs, took his wife and daughter to the end of the procession to enter the city.
After waiting for two or three minutes, he patted the shoulder of the person in front of him with some curiosity: "This brother, let me ask me, what is this magic circle for?"
"Used to detect the breath of the abyss. The man in front casually explained, "Since the Abyss Invasion led to the fall of the three major empires, most of the human cities have fallen into the hands of the Abyss Demons. β
"Except for the base established by humans in the Luozhu forest. On the entire continent, there are only a few cities left that have not been touched by the abyss. In order to prevent the demonic people from entering the city to cause destruction, everyone must be tested when they enter the city. β
The formation for detecting the abyssal aura worked quickly, and hundreds of people stood up, but it was only a second to check.
Luo Huan's family followed everyone into the face-to-face inspection link.
"Name. β
"Luo Huan, here is my daughter and my wife. β
"Another refugee. The soldier in charge of the face-to-face audit muttered in a low voice, and he looked up at Luo Huan, his face did not change much.
Then he looked at the masked Grace and Lovi.
"Oh my Godββ, where did you come from?"
The disguise of Feng Fengwei made the soldier gasp, and when he looked at Luo Huan again, his eyes were full of sympathy: "They are your family?"
Luo Huan nodded calmly.
The soldier ticked a few boxes on the registration card, and immediately set his eyes on the three bears who were following Luo Huan.
Seeing the three fat and strong pandas, he subconsciously licked his lips: "They are your prey? β
"They're not commodities, they're my spirit animal companions. Luo Huan moved out the words he had thought of a long time ago: "I am the Beast Master. β
"Spirit beast companions?" the soldier rubbed his eyes, "I'm not mistaken, right? What kind of spirit beast is this?"
"Lao Tzu's scientific name is the giant panda, and in ancient times, it was called Pixiu and iron-eating beast. Born with a cute focus aura, you actually say that Lao Tzu is not a spirit animal, and you have to collect Lao Tzu's slaughter tax? Now give you a choice, claw strike and bite, do you want to try that skill?"
Shen Fei, a panda on all fours, stood up suddenly, and it showed its claws a few centimeters long: "Look into my eyes and repeat what you just said." β
"I, I, I apologize. The soldier's face turned pale, and he hurriedly compensated the three pandas: "I'm sorry." β
The beast that can speak must be a spirit beast, and it is the strongest of the beasts.
There is no doubt that only the strong who have turned on their intelligence and are at the top of their own population can learn the human language.
"That's pretty much it. Shen Fei put away his claws, and he grinned, "On the way here, I heard about one thing. In order to prop up the last hope of mankind, Qianmo City is recruiting strong people from all walks of life to fight against the abyss?"
"No, nothing. The guard shook his head again and again, his face was unwilling, but he whispered: "The most taboo thing for the city lord to say against the abyss. After entering the city, you should pay special attention to the first rule of Qianmo City is not to talk about state affairs. β
"The rumors you heard on the road should be rumors about the Sanctuary Liberation Organization taking a walk. β
Luo Huan sighed secretly in his heart: The result of throwing stones to ask for directions is similar to what I guessed, the city lord of Qianmo City pursues a capitulationist policy.
The location of Qianmo City is awkward, facing the sea to the east, but there is no place to build a port.
It takes more than ten kilometers to the west to see the Luozhu Forest.
In the north and south directions, one is the imperial capital occupied by the abyss, and the other is the carefully built fortress of the Sanctuary, which is the second line of defense against the attack of the eastern edge.
Now they are all occupied by the abyss.
The ruined city of Qianmo in the middle is not very large, but it is completely powerless to resist the flanking offensive built by the Abyss army from the north and south.
The reason why it has not been pushed by the abyss to this day is half because of the non-resistance policy of the abandoned city, so that the Abyss Legion does not regard it as a thorn in the side.
The other half is because of the existence of the interference of the ruined cityβthat is, the sword intent left by the palace master of the Sword Palace.
The powerful sword intent can attract the miscellaneous qi in the body of the True Qi cultivator.
Not only can it make it impossible for the cultivators who live here to enter, but it can also greatly increase the risk of them going mad. Unless they all have the talent of Luo Huan, and they are all true qi that reverses each other, the purity of their true qi has long been consumed.
In this way, he can gain advanced momentum from the interference of sword intent - but there is only one Luo Huan, and his success cannot be replicated.
From the point of view of the abyssal agent, the interference of the ruined city is so powerful that any cultivator entering it is tantamount to performing a self-exiled drudgery. It is destined that there will be no cultivators in this city.
Even if there are cultivators, their strength will only show a downward trend.
In that case, why should the Abyss Army take any more steps to pacify these guys who are destined to be incapable of resisting?
Leaving a glimmer of hope for others is just the right thing to dismantle the alliance of liberation organizations that has shaken the three empires.
Compared with the liberation organizations of the three empires, the abandoned city is not even a scabies.
Just as Luo Huan was pondering, the family had already entered the city smoothly.
Walking on the streets of the ruined city, Luo Huan and his party attracted the curious eyes of countless people.
Beast Master is an ancient profession, and it is also one of the few ancient professions that have barely been handed down after the integration of the five realms.
Although many people have learned the skills of animal trainers, they will never find a spirit animal in their lifetime.
Like Luo Huan, a family going out with three spirit beasts is a rare spectacle.
"Let's find a place to live first, I remember this is a residential area, and we should be able to find a house for rent. Luo Huan relied on his own memories to lead the family around the abandoned city.
Things really didn't come as he expected, the residential area that was empty and looked like a ghost domain was now full of people.
Even if they are not full, the ownerless houses have new owners.
Luo Huan finally found a decent real estate agent, who knew that he opened his mouth to ask for the price, but he hadn't seen the house yet, and the other party had already asked for rent first.
"Two bedrooms and one living room, three hundred silver grids a month. Rent and deposit, a total of 1,800 silver grids. The real estate agent looked impatient: "If you want to make a decision, hurry up, if you don't rent, there are other people who want to rent." β
