"It's a corpse smell...... As soon as it landed on the wall of Mologan City, Shi Yuxuan snorted slightly and said to Shen Hao in a deep voice. Shen Hao nodded, although his sense of smell was not as good as Shi Yuxuan's, the pungent smell slowly emanated from the city, and even ordinary people could detect it.

The two of them did not light torches or use any lighting tools, after all, the place where they were standing was still within the observation range of the watchtower of the barracks outside the city, and they did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Judging by the concentration of corpse stench, there are tens of thousands of deaths in the city, but there is no obvious smell of blood, perhaps it is really caused by some kind of plague." Shi Yuxuan said as she took out two black scarves from her arms, handed one to Shen Hao, and folded the other one between her mouth and nose.

Shen Hao also followed her example and covered his mouth and nose, and suddenly smelled a faint scent of grass and trees in his nose, and the previous disturbing smell of corpses was completely isolated from the outside. He knew that this must be one of the special "masks" prepared by Shi Yuxuan to prevent this unknown epidemic.

The city walls were empty, and there were naturally no living people, but no corpses were found. The ground was a little messy, but it didn't look like it had gone through a war, but it looked like a chaos left behind after a disaster struck and everyone scrambled to avoid it. All kinds of ordnance and materials were knocked over, and even discarded helmets and running boots could be seen everywhere, but it was slightly surprising that except for crossbows and shields, there were no spears and swords on the ground, which was very strange in the chaos of the scene.

Shen Hao and Shi Yuxuan exchanged a look, pulled out the leather shield and the sword in the stone, and took the lead to walk under the city wall. Shi Yuxuan didn't pull out her "fangs dagger", but instead picked up a military crossbow that could still be used, and carried two pots of crossbow arrows, but when she gently brushed the arrows of those crossbow arrows with her slender hand, those shiny arrows immediately glowed with a lilac luster.

The city was unusually dark, and the two of them seemed to be thrown into a vat of muddy ink, completely engulfed in darkness. Even with the extraordinary eyesight of the two of them, they can see each other's silhouettes at most in such an environment, and as for the things that are more than two meters away, they are completely invisible.

It was bound to be dangerous to move forward like this, and Shen Hao finally lit the torch. This was already a blind spot for the army outside the city, and the light of a torch should not attract the attention of the sentinels.

Shen Hao had never been to Mologan City, but he had stayed in the Hairian Fortress, and he thought that this kind of border city fortress would not be much different in design, at least for the convenience of the army, and the streets in the city would not be too complicated. With the torch lighting, as long as you go straight ahead along the street directly opposite the city gate, it is estimated that it will take less than half an hour to pass through this city.

But when the torches were lit, the expressions of the two instantly became solemn. The torches that had been expected did not achieve their desired lighting effect. At this time, the two of them realized that in addition to the darkness, there seemed to be some kind of black mist around them, and although they could not smell any peculiar smell, they seemed to have the effect of absorbing light. Although the torches burned vigorously, the actual lighting effect did not exceed five meters, and even began to blur three meters away, and nothing could be seen from five meters away.

However, the real reason for the two of them to look ugly was not only that, the flame burning on the pine torch in their hands was actually a creepy dark green, and the beating fire light shone on the faces of the two people, and they looked like ghosts to each other.

"Hell! Could it be that we opened it in the wrong way? Shen Hao touched his chin and said a cold joke with a serious face, "We should be entering the magic world, why does it feel like entering a ghost town?" ”

Shi Yuxuan took out a copper-shelled pocket watch from her arms, opened it and looked at it, but found that the hands inside were turning uncontrollably, and she couldn't see the time at the moment, she frowned and said: "It's really wrong here, no wonder the army outside looks like a big enemy, and only dares to surround the city." We can't wait until dawn here, we better get out of here as soon as possible. ”

"Follow me." Shen Hao nodded, he also handed over the leather shield to Shi Yuxuan for self-defense, holding the sword in the stone in one hand and a torch jumping like a ghost fire in the other hand to lead the way. The deerskin boots stepped on the bluestone floor of the street, making a crisp lattice sound, in fact, the two of them were very light in their steps, but the surroundings were too quiet, and if a needle fell on the ground at the moment, it would be clearly audible, such an environment and the darkness around them could not be dispelled, so that the nerves of both of them were tense to the extreme.

Unlike the scattered scenes on the city walls, the city looks much neater, and the streets are clean, but the surrounding shops and residents' houses are all closed. Occasionally, one or two open windows reveal the deep darkness inside, like the big mouth of a demon who chooses to devour people, and it is completely unable to arouse the desire to venture into the depths.

"Get down!" Shen Hao, who was walking in front, suddenly suffocated, and before Shi Yuxuan, who was following behind, made any reaction, the sword in his hand suddenly swirled towards Shi Yuxuan's neck. However, Shi Yuxuan had already heard his warning, and was very cooperative with the first squat, and Shen Hao's sword slashed behind her.

There was a tearing sound in the air, and then a terrible howl sounded, Shi Yuxuan also looked back at this moment, but saw a phantom shrouded in tattered black robes was cut into two pieces by Shen Hao's sword, and two blood-red eyes lit up on the face of the phantom completely shrouded in the shadow of the hood, and half of the dry bones of the human were exposed at the broken part of the body that was cut open.

"What is this? Ghosts? Shi Yuxuan took a step back towards Shen Hao, and saw that the phantom who was cut in half actually wanted to struggle to put together his two stump bodies, and the military crossbow in his hand shook, and the "Zheng Zheng" two arrows shot out in a row, pushing into the phantom, and actually made a muffled sound like defeat.

The thing in front of him is obviously not a normal creature, if it is an ordinary crossbow arrow, it is impossible to cause damage to it, but Shi Yuxuan's crossbow arrows have been specially processed by her, the poison of the poison venerable, the ghosts and gods are easy, not to mention the ghost in front of him that is more strange than the actual threat.

But where it was hit, a large amount of green smoke rose up, and the wound spread rapidly as if it had been ignited by an invisible flame, and the ghost hissed twice in pain, and then it came to an abrupt end, and its entire body had turned into a pile of black ashes.

"Beware, there's definitely more to it than that." Shen Hao held the torch high and tried to expand the scope of the lighting as much as possible, but the actual effect was still unsatisfactory. When this ghost flew and sneaked up on it just now, it didn't make a sound at all, if it weren't for the air flow driven by the flight that caused the flame of the torch in Shen Hao's hand to deflect slightly, Shen Hao wouldn't have noticed its approach.

Now, the flames of the torches were jumping up irregularly again, and Shen Hao could also slightly feel the turbulent air currents around him. Although the lighting range of the torches was limited, the two of them could still faintly loom at the edge of the firelight, and there were a large number of black shadows cruising nearby, and at a cursory glance, there were no less than a hundred, but for some reason, they never approached the range of the two again.

"Damn, it's a ghost town!" Shen Hao spat and muttered. His eyes looked around for a while, but he didn't look panicked, and he could see from the short exchange just now that this thing was better at being secretive, silent when sneak attacking, and in fact, his defense ability was also commonplace. For Shen Hao, the problem that can be solved with a sword is not a problem.

"Let me do this." Shi Yuxuan put away the crossbow and took out a square scarf from her arms, but this time the scarf was not black, but light cyan. "Cover your mouth and nose." Shi Yuxuan handed the square scarf to Shen Hao, then closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

This breath actually took in for half a minute, and Shi Yuxuan's plump and straight breasts could obviously be seen bulging high, and then I saw her red lips open lightly, and a mouthful of lilac turbidity was spit out by her like a torrent that opened the floodgates.

The purple qi quickly diffused at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it condensed but did not disperse, and even the strange black mist around it was also affected, turning into a faint purple. Shen Hao had already changed the pale cyan square scarf to cover his mouth and nose, but he still felt a slight tingling sensation coming from the skin of his exposed hands, face and neck, and secretly said in his heart that this poison was really powerful, but fortunately, with his own physique, such a degree of toxin would not have any uncomfortable effects.

Shen Hao can bear it, but those ghosts on the periphery obviously can't bear it. A terrifying and miserable howl came one after another, and all the ghosts shrouded in this purple mist fell from the sky one after another, desperately scraping something on the black robe on their bodies with the claws that were left with dry bones, but the next moment, their bodies were as if they had been splashed with strong acid, quickly festering, corroding, and melting, turning into pools of black pus.

Seeing the power of this poisonous mist, the ghosts that had not yet been shrouded shouted one after another, turned around and fled towards the depths of the darkness, and disappeared in a moment. And Shi Yuxuan's poisonous mist only extended outward for nearly twenty meters, and then gradually thinned. Shi Yuxuan frowned, it seemed that the strange black fog around her was not just as simple as creating darkness.

"Let's go, my 'Violet Miasma' should be able to hold on for fifteen minutes, and it will still be able to move with my body. Hurry up and get out of here while those can't stop us! Shi Yuxuan took a breath, gently pushed Shen Hao, and said. In fact, her violet miasma usually lasts for at least an hour, and the enveloping range is a hundred meters, but now it seems that under the interference of this black fog, fifteen minutes is just optimistic
