"Front...... Ahead lies the City of Despair. ”

In the stumbling footsteps, a ragged man looked at the narrow and cramped Sky Canyon in front of him, and his dim eyes rarely revealed a bit of brilliance.

The ragged man turned his head to look back at the few people who followed behind him, and his hoarse voice carried a little joy, "Hongsheng, hold on a little longer, we are going to the place." ”

"Brother, I already feel it."

Behind the ragged man was a young man with unkempt hair, chapped lips, and a crumpled outfit that no longer looked like it had been.

At this moment, the young man named "Hongsheng" was squinting his eyes slightly, feeling the breeze blowing gently in the Sky Canyon.

The cool breeze, especially with a bit of dampness, lifted the spirits of those who had gone through the trek and thirst.

"Cheer up, everyone, we're going to the place."

The ragged man looked at the sluggish young man's spirits a little, his already peeling cheeks twitched slightly, and he turned to shout at the seventy or eighty people who followed behind.

"It's here, it's finally here!"

"We made it this far."

Among the dozens of people in the rear, some of them cried out with a little excitement after hearing the words of the ragged man.

But more of them still looked at the first line of the heavenly canyon in front of them with a numb face, and there were no waves on their faces, and the difficulties along the way had already hollowed out the spirit of most of them. If you weren't a little angry, at first glance, you might think that these people are the walking dead.

"Let's go, third brother!" The ragged man's nose twitched, as if he was desperately sniffing the free water vapor in the air, and it seemed that because he had gone through too many hardships, his emotions unconsciously fluctuated after finally arriving at his destination.

The group used swords and spears as crutches, or supported each other, and hesitated along the canyon of the sky.

The water in the canyon is so steep that you can feel a strong smell of humidity as soon as you enter.

Compared with the tens of thousands of miles of desert death, the kind of blazing and dry, at this time, the sudden coolness made many dying pedestrians unconsciously lift their spirits a little.

"Wait a minute!"

A group of dozens of people entered the day line and walked for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly, the ragged man who was walking in front stopped and raised his right hand high.

Although he had suffered an unknown number of injuries along the way, his physical condition was less than one-tenth of what he had been in his heyday.

But with his strength and willpower far beyond the others, he has always been firmly at the forefront of the group, and at this moment, he suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone, even those who were already extremely weak, they couldn't help but be vigilant.

Thousands of people set out from the "Dragon City" of the Eastern Continent, and after a lot of hardships, there are only seventy or eighty people left. It can be said that among these people, each of them is not weak in terms of original strength, and they can come to this point, and they are even more resolute.

And they had already recognized the ragged man in front of them, who had come all the way, with many dangers, storms, thirst, hunger, desolation, and monsters...... The hardships and dangers again and again were all under the leadership of the other party to survive.

Just when everyone stopped and quieted down, many people began to take out their swords and look around vigilantly.

Tick –

Tick –

A faint sound of water droplets suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.

"It's ......"

Chu Hongsheng almost subconsciously pursed his chapped lips.

It had been four or five days since the last time he passed through the water source, and since then all the water sources have relied on digging sand pits and collecting a little dew from the morning, and although he can still hold on to it, the thirst in his throat has made him think of the water flow for the first time he heard this sound.

"There's a water source!"

At the same time, on the other hand, at this time, many sluggish pedestrians were in high spirits.

A pair of green eyes, constantly scanning left and right. Nowadays, people may not be sensitive to other reactions, but they are the most sensitive to the sense of water.

And, according to common sense, there should be a water source here.

After all, this Broken Life Mountain Range is continuous, isolating water vapor, but that is in the big picture, but now, they are already in the Broken Life Mountain Range, and there should be a water source around.

"Brother—"

Chu Hongsheng listened to the people who were clamoring behind him, and turned his eyes to the ragged man standing in front, seeing that he didn't seem to have much reaction to the water source around him, he couldn't help but call softly.

Chu Hongchang frowned, first stretched out his hand to suppress the somewhat riotous crowd behind, and then kept scanning the surroundings.

Except for pedestrians on the Eastern Continent, this first-line canyon is rarely walked by people all year round. And it is said that it is a glimmer of sky, but in fact, the ground is quite open, but it is just ......

Chu Hongchang instinctively felt that something was wrong, as if he had been stared at by something in the shadows since he entered this canyon.

And—

After Chu Hongchang glanced around, he quietly saw a few white bones under a mountain wall. Although I can't tell what kind of bones it is, it is obvious that this glimmer of heaven canyon is not a smooth road.

Tick, tick –

The sound of falling water droplets rang out again.

"Look! Head! ”

Suddenly, a voice from the back of the crowd shouted.

Everyone in the crowd raised their heads in unison in the direction of the voice, and when they landed, the seventy or eighty people who were suddenly in a breath suddenly seemed to be poured a basin of hot oil, and suddenly made a noise.

When Chu Hongchang looked up, his heart was also suddenly shocked.

I saw that on the mountain wall above everyone's heads, on a stone pillar that was obliquely raised, a giant python with a thick hug was circling and entwined, and its head hung down like a dustpan, and in the big mouth of the blood basin with its mouth open, sticky saliva continued to drip down.

"It's a monster!"

Chu Hongchang slammed a spirit, grabbed a long sword used for crutches in his hand, and suddenly shouted.

The people who followed behind him were also shocked in their hearts, and they raised their weapons one by one.

This road is difficult and dangerous, and many people have already thrown away the weapons in their hands at first, after all, compared to facing the harsh living environment, the weapons of swords and spears are not only heavy, but also useless.

But after going deep into the desert and encountering countless attacks by monsters and monsters, those weaker and defenseless exiles either died at the hands of their own people or entered the belly of various monsters.

In such a world where order collapses, the only thing you can rely on is your companions and the swords and guns in your hands.

Hiss –

The giant python that was entrenched on the mountain pillar dozens of meters above everyone's heads may have just wanted to sneak attack while everyone was on the way, but it seemed that because of Chu Hongchang's drinking, it itself was also aware that the "prey" had discovered it.

Now he no longer hid his body, but slid down the stone pillar above with a clatter. With the movement of the giant python's sliding body, fist-sized stones on the mountain walls on both sides suddenly fell.

It's just that the huge size of the giant python is quietly silent due to the support on both sides of the mountain wall.

But when the python really landed on the ground and appeared in front of everyone, the group of exiles who had experienced all kinds of dangers still couldn't help but gasp.

They have seen a lot of demons and monsters along the way, but none of them are as shocking as the giant python in front of them.

After the giant python in front of him fell, the first-line sky canyon more than ten meters wide was almost completely blocked by it.

The eyes like lanterns stared at everyone, and the biting chill was as cold as a knife.

In particular, on the top of this giant python's head, there is a bulging red bag, as if it has horns, but the heat is still a little worse, and it is not completely born.

"I've heard about the Forgotten Lands demons running rampant, no...... Unexpectedly, before he crossed the Broken Life Mountain Range, he encountered such a demon......"

As soon as Chu Hongchang saw this giant python, the warning signs in his heart soared to the extreme.

Especially when he saw that the giant python in front of him had a red envelope, it seemed that it was not far from the flower Jiao, and his heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Changing to his physical state in his heyday, coupled with the fact that he was accompanied by a companion who was not weak in the seventy or eighty strength, in the face of such a demon python that had not yet reached the level of "lower demon", even if it was more difficult to deal with, it was not without a chance of winning.

But now, after more than half a year of trekking, everyone is almost in a state of exhaustion, even if they can barely afford to hold a weapon, it is still quite difficult to escape from the mouth of this demon python.

"Brother!"

Chu Hongsheng next to him couldn't help but shrink after the giant python fell, and his voice was trembling.

This Forgotten Land has been an exiled sinner for hundreds of thousands of years, and there have been many rumors that this Forgotten Land is full of demons and dangers, but I never thought that this was just the first line of heaven canyon in the Broken Life Mountain Range.

It's not really a place of despair, but he has already encountered such a terrifying demon monster, which makes Chu Hongsheng, a young man, feel chills in his heart.

"Hongsheng, don't be afraid, you and the others slowly withdrew, and I stayed to stop him."

Chu Hongchang's eyes flashed, and the long sword used for crutches in his hand was dragged to his side and blocked in front of everyone.

"You go first!" After Chu Hongchang finished speaking, he shouted at the others without looking back.

The thin and withered body arched slightly, but it was not cowering and evading, but the muscles tensed, and he made a posture to deal with the attack of the giant python in front of him, which was not far from the realm of "lower demon".

"Brother!"

"Brother Chu!"

"Captain!"

Shouts rang out from the crowd behind.

Everyone has lived and died together to this day, seeing that they are about to leave the desert, but they really didn't expect that such a scene would be waiting for them.

No wonder from ancient times to the present, there are not many people who have been exiled to the Forgotten Land, but after crossing the "Dragon City" in the Eastern Continent, there have been only those who have come out, and there has been no return.

Guy is a place full of demons, and it is really a desperate situation where there is no life.

Now, everyone present is very skeptical that beyond this canyon, there is really such a city of exile as the "City of Despair" on the other side.

Hiss –

The dragon-like python spat out snake letters and let out a piercing roar.

In the face of dozens of humans, it did not attack immediately, for a giant beast like it, this area was completely its territory, and it did not worry about the people in front of it fleeing.

However, after waiting for a long time, the python could not hold back its hunger and was ready to attack!

"Let's go!"

Chu Hongchang watched the giant python writhe huge body, suddenly grabbed the long sword in his hand, shouted suddenly, and rushed out.

He used to be the strength of the first order of the spiritual energy entering the body, and he was not even too far away from the second order.

It's just that this journey, coupled with the various means endured before exile, has no ability to survive, but at this time there is no other choice but to fight hard.

"Fight!"

The people who followed Chu Hongchang were in tatters like beggars, and the other party took the lead in attacking the giant python in front of them, and not only did everyone not retreat, but aroused the last trace of blood one by one.

"It's all death anyway, Lao Tzu has to be heroic!"

Since the defeat and capture, and then to the exile of tens of thousands of miles, to this day, in fact, most of these people have long lost hope.

Along the way, if it weren't for Chu Hongchang's support everywhere, these people would probably be gone.

By now, most people are like walking dead, but after all, there is still a breath of air.

Seeing that the road ahead was impassable, and there was a desperate situation behind, at this time, many people burst out with the last trace of madness, and they were about to fight for their lives against the giant python in front of them with the swords and other weapons in their hands.

Advance is death, retreat is death, it's better to fight!

Bang!

At the moment when everyone was fierce and fierce, Chu Hongchang, who was the first to rush out towards the giant python, flexibly dodged the python's open mouth, and the long sword in his hand slashed at the python's neck.

Sparks fly!

Although this giant python has not entered the "lower demon" level, it has been entrenched here all year round, molting and changing sharply again and again, and the hardness of its scaly body is no longer beyond the reach of ordinary steel weapons.

On the contrary, he was angered by Chu Hongchang's blow, and the huge revelation was like a small mountain, suddenly twisted and hit Chu Hongchang's body.

Suddenly.

Chu Hongchang's whole person flew out like a cloud and slammed into the mountain wall next to him.

The python's long body twisted, and two lantern-like eyes fell on Chu Hongchang, who was smashed, and his huge mouth opened and bit towards Chu Hongchang again.

"Captain!"

"Brother Chu!"

"Brother!"

The agitated crowd in the rear burst into shouts.

But everyone gathered far away, and it was too far away at all, so they could only watch the giant python's big mouth open, as if it was going to swallow Chu Hongchang in one gulp.

That's when it happened.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound.

On the mountain wall, suddenly a burly black shadow fell, blocking the giant python's body.

The burly black shadow suddenly grabbed the python's open jaws with both hands, and the powerful and terrifying force actually resisted the python's attack.

Hiss –

The python's upper and lower jaws were clamped, and it suddenly hissed, and its head twisted, but the power of the black shadow in front of it was amazing, and it couldn't break free of its head from the other party's hands for a while, nor could it shake this burly black shadow out.

For a while, the python's thick body and tail were forced, and they slapped with it.

The rocks and mountain walls on both sides instantly erupted into a loud bang, and under the scale armor and strong force of the giant python, the sand and stones splashed.

The giant python's huge body writhed, and after its upper and lower jaws were clamped by this burly and terrifying night and could not break free, its body and tail almost instinctively twisted towards this burly and tall night.

With the size and strength of a giant python, as long as it is entangled in its body and tail, even a brute crocodile dragon will be difficult to break free.

But at this moment, the burly and hideous black shadow moved more sensitively, and suddenly jumped up, avoiding the thick body of the giant python that wanted to wrap around him.

Instead, he jumped onto the python's head, clasped his clawed hands on the python's scales, and then slammed into the side of the mountain wall again as if riding on the python.

The loud rumbling sound continued.

Chu Hongchang and the other exiles next to him were already stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.

A giant python demon beast had already made them feel hopeless, and the black shadow that suddenly jumped out to fight with the giant python was clearly a humanoid demon.

It was hideous and terrifying, and from its brief confrontation with the huge python, it actually had the upper hand, which made everyone feel even more shocked.

"Catch the sword!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded above the mountain wall.

A blue light fell.

The burly and hideous black shadow who was trying to subdue the giant python suddenly turned sideways, grabbed it with his right hand, and caught a huge broadsword with a foot of two meters.

The blade was about a foot wide, with a clear blue light, which was obviously used to match this burly and hideous black shadow.

I saw a blue light as if it was slashing, and the entire head of the giant python that was still struggling frantically just now had fallen, only the thick body and tail were still shaking from side to side.

Knock.

Another tall figure fell from the dodge.

It was a humanoid monster with a gray body and bone spurs.

looked at Chu Hongchang, who had just gotten up on the ground, and then looked at the people who looked panicked and didn't know why, grinning and revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"A new exile? Hey, welcome to the City of Despair! ”
