Chapter 19: Entering the City

Zhou Chen and his life were about to leave, but he saw three skinny and tattered old men surrounding him.

In other words, these three people may not be very old, but because of long-term malnutrition and constant contamination with death, their vitality is lost very quickly, and they are aging very seriously.

"This man, give me something to eat. ”

"My lord, we are dying of hunger, save us!"

"Please, have mercy on us. ”

The three of them said a word to each other, and begged Zhou Chen.

Although they couldn't see Zhou Chen's face hidden under the hood clearly, and they didn't dare to look at it more, they could tell from the texture of Zhou Chen's cloak that it was not a bargain. What's more, there is also the life next to him, a dress that doesn't fit, but it's also the kind that is not bad.

If they can afford to wear clothes of this texture, they must have spare money to spare, so they come around and beg.

However, Zhou Chen was unmoved.

His shulker bead indeed stored the food stored in the previous world. Time passes inside the Shulker Orb, and as with the outside world, food spoils. However, Zhou Chen chose all the food that could be stored for a long time, all kinds of smoked jerky, etc., so none of the food he stored was bad and completely edible.

He had plenty of food, but he wasn't prepared to give it to the three people in front of him.

If it's simply a pitiful person to beg, it doesn't matter, Zhou Chen is not in a hurry, most of the time will depend on the mood. However, with these three people, Zhou Chen can keenly perceive their hidden malice.

No matter what this malice is, whether the three of them will rob after being rejected, or whether they will get an inch after sharing food or money, Zhou Chen is too lazy to figure it out.

He directly released his soul power and rushed forward, and the three of them were immediately pushed away and fell to the ground with a frightened face.

Zhou Chen and his life ignored the three people who fell to the ground and continued to move forward.

And it wasn't until they were far away that the three dared to get up again, trembling.

After glancing at each other, one of them said uncertainly, "That was the wizard just now, right? ”

"Shhhhh

The other nervous again, referring to the "they" of the entire wizarding community.

Compared to adventurers of other professions, wizards are much rarer, and have always been synonymous with mystery. The various curses, summoning spells, etc., that wizards can cast, are things that make ordinary people fear like ghosts.

"Let's go!"

After he said this, the three of them no longer dared to stay where they were, and hurriedly left in the other direction.

......

After leaving the lifeless village, Zhou Chen and his life walked for another two days.

The environment along the way is full of desolation and death, all kinds of dark and damp animals and plants, insects, a small number of beasts, etc.

At the end of the two-day journey, Zhou Chen finally felt completely out of the range of dead air, and could no longer feel the impact of the Bothgen Cliff.

And the two finally found their first city.

It is said to be a city, but judging from its thick and high walls and the large number of guards at the gates, it looks more like a well-defended fortress.

When Zhou Chen and his life approached the city gate, he also saw a few people dressed as adventurers sporadically entering the city one after another.

Because the combination of the two is very eye-catching, especially the beautiful and cute appearance of life, and the dusty and smart temperament on his body, it makes people feel out of place with their surroundings. So both the adventurers and the guards at the city gates spotted them early and couldn't stop looking at them.

Of course, Zhou Chen ignored all of this, and the same was true of her life, she just walked next to Zhou Chen, occasionally looking left and right, observing this fresh world.

"Two silver coins per person for the entrance fee, and take off your hat and show your face. ”

Soon it was Zhou Chen's turn to enter the city, and a guard pointed to Zhou Chen's tightly worn hood and said.

"It's four silver coins, can we go in?"

Zhou Chen's white bone arm stretched out from his cloak and handed out four silver coins, and at the same time, the hood he was wearing automatically slid down, revealing a skull with a red light shining in his eye sockets.

Naturally, the silver coins were taken out of the palace of the dead.

After Zhou Chen refined the Death Palace, it was also like a shulker bead, allowing Zhou Chen to access items at will. And as an artifact, it can also hold countless necromantic zombies.

For example, there are twenty-three black soul-level dead warriors such as Youyi, as well as many purple soul-level warriors such as the snake girl, as well as countless weaker warriors.

For the sake of convenience, Zhou Chen uniformly referred to them as dead warriors, and divided them into black souls, purple souls, blue souls, green souls, and white souls according to the color of the soul species.

Through the conversation with Youyi, Zhou Chen also clearly knew the level of treasures in this world. According to the degree of nobility and the strength of the ability, from high to low, they are artifacts, imperial weapons, treasures, magic weapons, and the most ordinary ordinary utensils.

The Death Palace is the highest-level artifact, and the second most important thing is the Holy Pot, which should be an imperial weapon. Below is the treasure weapon, although there is only the holy pot in the entire death palace, the only emperor weapon, but there are dozens of treasures scattered in the total 199 floors. Further down is the magic weapon, which is also known as magic props in popular terms, and there are hundreds of nearly a thousand magic weapons in the death palace. Finally, there are all kinds of ordinary weapons that are not worth much, and there are countless of them.

With so many treasures hidden in the Dead Palace, it's no wonder that adventurers are drawn in. And the casualty rate of adventurers is very high, after they are killed in the Death Palace, they will be turned into new dead warriors by the fluctuations and strong death qi of the Death Palace, and the equipment and magic weapons on their bodies will become a new treasure of the Death Palace.

For magic weapons, Zhou Chen can't look down on them, his martial soul can strike at will, or a thin water arrow spell, which is comparable to the full power of a magic weapon. Therefore, all the magic weapons in the Death Palace, he let the ghost clothes be distributed to the dead warriors below.

There are also dozens of treasures, at least some of the abilities are not bad, Zhou Chen has not dealt with it yet, and he will slowly check it when he finds a stable foothold in the human world.

In addition to these instruments of different strengths and weaknesses, there are also a large number of gems and coins in the death palace, which are great treasures of wealth in the human world.

Therefore, a mere entrance fee, although the location of this city is special and the charge is relatively expensive, but it is a drop in the bucket for Zhou Chen.

With a stroke of his mind, he found money in a random corner of the Dead Palace, pulled out four silver coins from them, appeared in the palm of his hand, and handed them out. At the same time, he was not ready to hide his skeletal body, and deliberately removed the hood with his soul thoughts, revealing his true face.

"Ahh......h

The guard suddenly saw Zhou Chen's skull, how dare he reach out to receive the silver coin, and immediately took two steps back as if he was facing a great enemy, clenching his long sword and staring at Zhou Chen.

The other guards were not slow to respond, each with their weapons ready to fire, either swords or spears, and four archers were on standby above the walls.
