Dust and smoke fell to the ground, and the eyes were full of devastation. The ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the gravel is everywhere.

Ivan gasped for breath at the edge of the pit, looking at Diorbe's body in the pit, and thought to himself that this woman was a madman. When he had gained some strength, he stood up, only to see a relieved smile on Diorbe's face. He wondered in his heart, and couldn't help but think: Could this crazy woman be forced to do so?

But what if you have to? Ivan thought to himself.

The crow cried in the air, and its voice was desolate, as if it was seeing off the woman in the pit. Ivan looked at the sky, full of melancholy, and sighed in his heart: yes, what if you have to? We fought all the way from Arad to the Celestial Realm, from the Celestial Realm to the Silent City, and from the Silent City to the Demon Realm. We have long deviated from our original intention, and we have long since departed from our original intention. originally wanted to take risks, but was played by the so-called fate; originally wanted to save the world, but had to kill one person after another who stood in the way.

Attracted by the smell of blood, the crows flew down to the ruins in search of food. Ivan shook his head and sighed: Are these people wrong again? Maybe not, maybe it's just a different way of living, maybe it's just a difference in our philosophy. We are like chess pieces, struggling to survive on a chessboard built by fate. So it was with Rotes, De Regi, and Andersen, and so were we. If we don't kill them, we will die. Do you have a choice?

Ivan looked at the woman in the pit and thought to himself that maybe one day he would be killed like this; Leave with relief and with your original intention. He smiled again, withdrew his lightsaber and looked at Tillan running over, his heartstrings touched: What's wrong here, let's take her back to Arad. Apostles, fate, oh, none of that. Buy a house in Suran City and live quietly!

Tillan staggered, ran to Ivan's side, and said urgently, "Are you okay?" Did you suffer any injuries? ”

Ivan smiled lightly and said softly: "No, it's just that the magic power has been consumed, and it's just a little out of strength." ”

"That's good, that's good......" Tillan exhaled, patted his chest and pursed his lips. It seemed that Ivan's expression was different from the past, a little gentle, a little lonely, and he couldn't help but worry: "Is it hurt?" You've got to tell me. Where is the injury, show it to me. ”

Ivan grabbed Tillan's hand and said softly, "It's okay, I'm not injured, go back first." ”

Tillland's face flushed, and she just let out an 'um' sound.

Ari led the slaves to wait outside the total eclipse market for a long time, and when he saw the sun in the west, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. But I saw Cobb running over, panting and saying, "Hey, that's, that's the ......"

Ari didn't like this Cobb in the first place, so he gave this Cobb a kick and yelled, "What's that? Isn't it good to talk? ”

"The old woman she picked up on the side of the road woke up." Cobb was kicked in the stomach, but he didn't get angry, but he replied with his head down.

After hearing this, Ari came to an old woman with a lightsafer and asked, "Who are you?" Cultivators? Or slaves? ”

I saw that the old woman had dirty hair, and mud stained her cheeks; The stench was all over his body, and the tattered gray cloth cloak was casually laid. She had a wooden staff in her hand, and pretended to be a magician like a funny clown.

The old woman picked her nose and opened her mouth to exclaim, "My name is Saibelin." Hmph, the cultivators, Lao Tzu is not the group of flies. Seeing Ari's face disgusted, she was unhappy, and scolded: "What do you see? Get out of here. ”

"Sebeline? Heh......" Ari shook his head and walked away, "whatever you want." ”

But this Sebeline was restless, and threw her head up and shouted, "Cultivators? Kill me! Kill, kill, kill! "Crazy, like a madman. She seemed to have screamed enough, and smiled nervously: "I won't let them go if I die, and I won't ...... if I die."

Cobb looked frightened, ran up to Ari, and asked, "What should I do?" This old woman is so terrible! ”

Ah Rui seemed to have seen a lot of this kind of madman, and said indifferently: "Don't pay attention. ”

The sun was setting in the west, and it was hazy in the distance, and two people could be faintly seen walking slowly. When the two men approached, they looked at it and saw that it was Ivan and Tillan.

Ah Rui hurried to Ivan and said urgently, "Master, how is it?" Hurt? ”

Ivan smiled and stopped, signaling that he didn't want to speak. Ari glanced at the slave behind him, turned back to Ivan and whispered, "Master, we picked up a madman." ”

"Crazy?" Ivan was shocked, "What madman? ”

"It's just a crazy woman. On the way over, he saw her lying on the side of the road, and thought she was a slave, so he asked Cobb to drag her back. I didn't think about it, but I was a madman. Ari explained in a low voice.

"Let's go, take me to see it." Ivan was wary and ordered.

Ari took Ivan and the others to meet Sebeline, but Sebeline was full of swear words and gibberish. Ivan couldn't, so he sighed, "We're going to send these slaves to the Dark City." If you're going to follow, that's fine, but don't make trouble. ”

I don't know if Sebeline listened to it or not, and 'hummed' a few times in her mouth.

The moon is the month of Arad, and the sun is also Arad's. Below the Demon Realm is connected to the planet Arad, from the Silent City down is the Celestial Realm, and from the Celestial Realm through the sea of sky to the bottom of the sea, is the Arad Continent.

The moon here is the same as Arad, but in the demon realm, some of them can't really be seen.

A golden and hazy full moon shone on the parched ground. Under the moonlight, Yunye and Moke, led by the old slaves, led a group of slaves in the direction of the dark city. Although the group of slaves was sparse, they were not noisy, but followed quietly.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a white light flickering in the air. Mock looked at it and said happily: "I think it's the captain and they're here." ”

The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and Yun Ye saw Ivan under the white light, and finally put his mind at ease. Tillan withdrew his 'Advanced Illumination' in the air and helped Ivan a few steps forward to rendezvous.

Seeing Ivan's tired appearance, Mock said with concern: "Captain, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, the magic is overused, and it's out of strength." Ivan said with a wave of his hand. Yun Ye on the side saw that Ivan was fine, so he relaxed his heartstrings.

Ivan called the old slave to him and said, "I have found a dumb boy, see if it is your son." ”

When Ari brought the mute child to the old slave, he saw that the old slave was full of tears, hugged the child, and cried loudly: "Child, my child." Are you alright? Are you okay? ”

The mute child held the old slave's head and gently comforted him. When the old slave raised his teary eyes, the mute child pointed at Ivan and the others and screamed a few times.

The old slave seemed to understand the expression of the mute child. The father and son both knelt down and thanked: "Hero, thank you, thank you...... Thank you for saving my child. The old slave was poor in words, and he didn't know how to say his gratitude perfectly, but he kept kowtowing.

Ivan sighed in his heart, helped the old slave to get up, and just said, "It's okay." ”

The two groups of slaves converged, gathered together in a sparse manner, and headed towards the dark city again.

Cobb seemed to be in a hurry to behave, and he was beside Ivan, and asked cautiously, "Adventurer, what are you going to do next when you get all the slaves together?" The Cultivators will come, what should we do? ”

"Didn't I tell you to go to the Dark City? What are you still yelling about? "Ari doesn't have a good airway.

Cobb pretended to nod and said respectfully, "Dark City?" Well, I know how to go. I'll lead the way. ”

Ivan didn't know how this Cobb knew so many things, and he didn't ask, just nodded and said, "Okay, you can." ”

I didn't know how long I walked, and not far from the field of vision, a dilapidated city was faintly visible. The Dark City is a remnant of the Terra period, shrouded in darkness all year round. After the Demon Realm connects with Arad, the light shines on the Demon Realm; Creatures that were not accustomed to living in the light migrated here. There are also many demon people or slaves who hide here in order to avoid the cultivators.

Entering the dark city, I looked around, only to see rotten houses, dirty water, and garbage everywhere. Chlorella stains the water green and gives off a foul smell; In the collapsed building, eerie red vines crawled all over the walls. Rubble and rubble are everywhere, hazy and devoid of light.

The air here is a mixture of musty and rotten, like the smell of maggots growing in damp, moldy corners of dried salted fish.

Ivan had never smelled such a stench, and retched one after another. Tierland was even more unbearable, leaning against the wall and vomiting, spitting out all the acid water.

Ari hadn't been to this place either, and his stomach was churning at the smell of it. He pinched his nose and asked angrily, "This is the Dark City?" It seemed that he couldn't stand the smell anymore, and he spit it out without taking his hand away.

Food scraps were stained all over Ari's hands, and he wiped them on the floor when he wanted to clean them. I don't want the ground to be dirtier, and I wiped the mud on my hands, which stinks more.

"Well, yes. This is the Dark City. Cobb didn't seem to be very sensitive to the smell, and replied, "It's smelly and dark, isn't it?" I don't know when the light in the sky has become stronger and stronger, but fortunately, this place is still very dark, and it should be quite convenient to hide. ”

"Why does it stink so much! Stinks worse than Northmar's rat droppings! Mock put an ice flower over his mouth and nose.

The slaves also seemed to be insensitive to the smell, and knelt down one by one and thanked: "Hero, thank you, thank you very much......"

"I'm free from now on, thank you."

One by one, the slaves thanked and knelt and knelt, and after a long time, they bowed down and left.

Ivan frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. Kobcha looked at it and asked, "Adventurer, what's wrong?" ”

Ivan turned back to his teammates and asked, "Do you think there's anything wrong?" ”

"Nope." Mock looked confused, "It just stinks." ”

Tillan and Yunye also nodded, not feeling that there was anything wrong. Ari looked around vigilantly, thinking about it and finding no problems.

"Don't worry about the slaves, look how happy they are." Cobb sighed, "It would have been almost impossible for them to escape on their own, and thanks to your help, they were able to come to the Dark City safely." What a bunch of lucky slaves! ”

Ivan thought for a long time, but still didn't figure it out, so he had to order: "Go, go back to the black market and find Pai!" ”

Cobb was very happy when he heard this, and excitedly shouted: "Back to the black market? Okay, okay, Master Pai must be worried. ”

The way to come was long, the way back was short, and after only a quarter of an hour, I saw the outline of the black market.

Ah Rui looked back and whispered in Ivan's ear, "Master, that crazy woman is still following us. ”

Ivan turned around and saw that the woman named Sebeline was still following dozens of paces away. He didn't know what this woman was going to do, and he wasn't afraid, so he motioned to ignore it.

The group found Pai in the black market and found an old wooden house to rest. Seeing everyone's faces, Pai said with concern, "It's been a lot longer than I expected, is something going on?" Didn't get hurt, right? ”

Ivan picked up some emphasis. When Pai heard this, he was a little worried, "You mean that a group of slaves who helped the Eclipse Market escape to the Dark City?" You left them behind and came back? ”

Ivan just wanted to speak, but Cobb scrambled to defend: "The adventurer rushed back because he was worried about you, Pai!" ”

Pai was a little moved in his heart, but he said, "But isn't this place in Harlem chaotic?" If the escaped slaves were recaptured, they would be in danger. ”

"That's why adventurers are more worried about you, Py!" Cobb argued, "Don't you perceive the mood of the adventurer?" ”

As soon as Ari heard this, his heart was clear, and he finally understood how this Cobb was going to die or live to come back. He glanced at Cobb a few times, and found that the master had also found out. It seems that only Pai is kept in the dark, and the authorities are confused.

Pai pouted, "I'm not saying adventurers are wrong, but it's fine if you don't help them in the first place." Since the choice has helped them, it should be helped to the end. I'm worried about whether those people will be harmed. ”

Ivan thought about it intently, as if he had thought of something, but he frowned but didn't catch it.

But Cobb whispered, "But adventurers can't stay with them all the time." ”

"It's ......," Pai pouted.

"Besides." Cobb argued again, "We all sent them to the Dark City, it should be fine......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the door of the house slam. The madwoman named Sebeline swaggered into the house.
