Chapter 12: City of Despair (Recommend and bookmark!) )

The sky is high and the earth is wide.

On the vast earth, two figures hesitated forward.

"How far is it, Gustav?"

Pushing aside the knee-high wild grass, Meng Yang panted, dragging his tired body, and looked at Gustav who was walking in front.

"It's close!"

The old voice came back from the front.

Gustav held a stick he had picked up from nowhere in one hand and his back in the other, looking out into the wilderness.

"It's on the edge and we've been lucky along the way...... Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to make it so smoothly. ”

As he spoke, Gustav pulled the roots of two plants from the wild grass next to him for a while, wiped them in his robe, threw one to Meng Yang, and chewed the other directly in his mouth.

"Okay!"

Meng Yang took the root and took a bite, which was extremely sour, but he was hungry and thirsty all the way, and he didn't have to pick at this time.

Fortunately, he was not hypocritical, but he secretly sighed in his heart that this old man didn't know how old he was, and he looked thin and thin, but his physical strength was better than that of a young man like him.

The two of them had been walking for most of the day since they left the cave and walked all the way along the wilderness, Gustavus always said that it was very close, but Meng Yang felt that he had not seen a single ghost shadow after walking for most of the day.

It's really not so easy to travel through another world, and now he hopes that this old iron who has squatted in the class room together can give a little strength and find a place to rest.

During the communication with Gustav along the way, Meng Yang probably learned some information about this world from Gustav's mouth.

The area he is in now should be regarded as a wilderness, or a region forgotten by the human world of the normal East and West continents, often called the land of despair and forgetfulness.

The Forgotten Lands are located on the northern side of two continents, the southeast and east continents are blocked by deserts and endless abysses, and the southwest and western continents are separated by ice and snow.

Originally, there was no trace of human life here, but after a beast tide broke out more than a thousand years ago, gradually this land began to be inhabited by criminals, outcasts, and political losers from two continents.

In terms of appearance, the people of the Eastern Continent are similar to him, while the people of the Western Continent are more inclined to be Europeans and Americans.

Of course, these are also trivial matters for Meng Yang, and it is fundamental to find a place to stand firmly when he comes to another world.

As Gustav said, humans have been huddled in a corner of the Forgotten Lands for so many years, and a single pig-headed man is enough to defeat dozens of humans head-on, and the pig-headed man is just one of the low-level creatures here.

The two of them walked all the way in the vast wilderness, and I don't know how long it took for a black line to emerge on the edge of the wilderness in the distance, and as the distance approached, the black line became clearer and clearer, but it was a huge black building hidden in the pale white mist and white woods.

"It's here! This is it. Gustav in front of him looked at the building that appeared in his field of vision, and sighed, his tone seemed to carry countless memories and desolation.

Meng Yang followed behind, and gradually saw that it was a huge city, and the city wall ran through the wilderness from east to west, as if it was like a great wall.

It's just that the whole city has no life at all, and it is dead and silent, standing alone in the desolate wilderness.

When the two of them got closer, Meng Yang gradually saw clearly the white forest outside the black city wall, in fact, it was not a forest at all.

Bones, countless bones.

Bones like a forest.

The ribs as tall and neat as a giant tree, comparable to the skull of a house, are intertwined with ribs and leg bones that are several meters long to more than ten meters long, densely stacked together, from these huge bones, it can be imagined that a group of huge creatures once appeared, but now they are all buried here.

There seemed to be a kind of annihilation aura of death and silence in the air, there were no birds, no insects and ants, but Meng Yang always felt a little hairy in his heart.

Looking at Gustav, who was already walking in front, Meng Yang couldn't help but speed up his pace, and at this moment, Meng Yang suddenly felt something touch on his ankle, and a center of gravity was unbalanced and fell to the ground.

Meng Yang looked down and saw that a white silk thread had touched on his foot at some point, which was extremely tough, and directly hooked him down.

Crunch Squeak –

At the moment when Meng Yang fell, a strange sound instantly sounded from the dense bones.

Beside them, like countless bones in the woods, three colorful flower-backed spiders with bodies about the size of a basin emerged in long eight, apparently the silk thread that had tripped Meng Yang was the silk they spit out to catch their prey.

"Such a big spider?!"

Meng Yang was instantly startled when he saw the appearance of the three spiders. Humans' fear of insect creatures is almost instinctive, especially when they reach a certain size.

The crunching sound continued to sound, and the three spiders rushed over almost immediately after seeing Meng Yang fall.

Meng Yang hurriedly went to untie the spider silk on his ankle, but these spider silk was extremely tough and sticky, and when it was attached to his ankle, it was tightly glued and he couldn't break free.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

A crisp sound sounded in Meng Yang's ears.

Seeing that Gustav, who was walking in front, he had walked back at some point, and the wooden stick in his hand danced quickly, and with a skill that did not match his old state, he directly pulled the three big spiders out directly.

"This is the flowerback spider, the most common predator in the Land of Despair, except for spider silk hunting, their own combat effectiveness is not strong."

Gustav kicked one more and trampled the three spiders into green pulp again, before slowly walking back towards Meng Yang.

"This place is full of all kinds of!" Meng Yang let out a sigh of relief and tore a piece of his trouser leg fiercely before he broke free from the sticky spider silk.

"That's what the Forgotten Lands are."

Gustav shook his head slightly and sighed, looking at Meng Yang's slightly tired expression, and said lightly, "I don't think you really should disband your summons, if they are there, maybe you will be much easier." I have heard that there is a device in the Eastern Continent that the superior can let his servants carry him forward. ”

"Carry forward? Sedan chair? That...... Forget it! ”

Meng Yang waved his hand weakly, and Gustav didn't know if he could understand it.

With the urine nature of the players he summoned, not to mention that he couldn't find the sedan chair, he found the sedan chair and wanted them to carry him forward, hehe, that's really too much.

And if you really want to go such a long way, I'm afraid you either quit directly, or chop up your NPC first to see if it will explode the equipment.

Of course, the main problem here is that Meng Yang is afraid that a few people will see that this is not a virtual game, but a real otherworld.

According to the game's routine,He can't take anything to reward now.,It's still too illusory to do story tasks to get favorability.,If you can get some gold.,Or experience that can be upgraded.,Skills and the like may be okay.。

"Be careful, we're in the City of Despair!" When Gustav saw Meng Yang say this, he no longer continued to persuade, but just whispered a word, and walked to the front to lead the way.

After passing through this forest of bones, the walls got closer and closer, and only when you got closer did you realize what a magnificent structure it was.

The length, width, and breadth may exceed tens or hundreds of kilometers, and the towering city walls stand there like a great wall blocking the wilderness.

However, this seemingly magnificent city is now dilapidated, and most of the huge city walls nearly 60 meters high on the periphery have long collapsed, and new plants and trees have grown in many places, and rubble and various debris have fallen everywhere, gathering into small hills and hillsides.

Meng Yang stood in front of the city wall, he could see one of the gates that seemed to be squeezed open by some kind of giant beast, countless cracks were clearly visible, looking up, he could even see more than a dozen scratches that seemed to be terrifying on a barely intact city wall, from the angle and from the outside, it should be the claw marks left by some kind of giant creature.

Then, as he looked along the crumbling walls, he saw more traces of horror, pits, claw marks, tooth marks, large and small, so dense that they could barely be counted.

The collapsed masonry and various crumbling and dilapidated buildings were innumerable, and many places were charred and black, and the masonry and the ground seemed to be connected together, which was the remnant of the long-term burning and condensation of the fire.

"Such a city, such a city......"

Even though he had seen many high-rise buildings in modern society, Meng Yang still felt a strong shock when he suddenly saw such a huge and magnificent city in a vast wilderness, looking at everything it might have suffered before.

The scene of the skeleton outside the city walls, and the severe trauma of the city, is enough to imagine what a tragic scene it was, even if you don't witness it.

"Gustav, what the hell is going on here?" Meng Yang turned his head to look at Gustav and asked.

"What else could it be, the City of Despair has fallen." Gustav's tone was full of vicissitudes, "This was our last refuge, but no matter how great the city is, there will be a day when it will fall, sooner or later......"

"Shelter?" Meng Yang looked at Gustav with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"In the Forgotten Lands, humans are nothing but outsiders." Gustav nodded slightly, and the look of amazement on his face became more and more intense, and there was a complex emotion mixed with a nostalgia for life and a disdain for death.

Meng Yang could feel from the short contact with the other party, Gustav seemed to be a little resigned, but a little unwilling. It's a very contradictory emotion.

Just like when there is no hope, Gustav can calmly accept his fate of becoming a pig's head oral eater, but when he sees a chance to live, he will sprout expectations, and seems to have a different kind of wisdom and understanding of life and death.

"Let's go in!"

Gustav stood outside the city wall in silence for a long time, looked back and saw Meng Yang, who was a little stunned, and sighed softly, "Since the fall of the City of Despair, everyone has been struggling to breathe, and it has been a while since I left, and no one knows what it will be like inside." ”
