Chapter 13: Attacked

It was getting dark.

Walked into the city gate under the city wall, which was squeezed by some kind of giant beast and there were countless cracks, and in the deep and wide city gate hole, many mottled traces could be faintly seen, and the bones of various humans and shapeless beasts were everywhere.

After entering the City of Despair, the city gate was already in disarray, completely ruined, and the remains of many buildings seemed to fall apart like fireworks.

Meng Yang followed Gustav and his heart sank more and more, he felt that this city in the name of despair was completely dilapidated, and there was not the slightest trace of human beings.

"Gustav, are there no living people here?"

Meng Yang looked at the dazzling ruin-like scene, and felt that walking in the city had a different kind of desolation. A kind of regret that once civilization was annihilated.

"I don't know." Gustav's expression was gloomy, "I've been away for a while. ”

The city was huge, and when the two of them entered the City of Despair, they had only just set foot in a corner of the city, but most of what they saw were scenes of severe destruction, ruined shops and houses, all kinds of once towering buildings and some decorations, and equipment such as catapults and cranes, all in ruins.

Dense artemisia grass has grown in many places, and you can tell how long it has been dilapidated.

"In such a big city, I don't know how many people have lived here."

Although he had only just entered the city gate for a short time, Meng Yang could still guess the prosperity of this city at its peak through some roads and buildings, which may not be comparable to the metropolis of modern society, but in ancient times, it was at least one of the top important towns.

Especially the city wall that stretched for tens or hundreds of miles, with a height of tens of meters, it was almost difficult for Meng Yang to imagine how it could only be built with manpower, and how it could be attacked and ravaged by a group of giant beasts and monsters without thermal weapons.

Such a fortress was destroyed like this!

Meng Yang felt indescribable emotion in his heart, and he also somewhat understood Gustav's almost desperate mood.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the quiet street.

Meng Yang's nerves tensed almost instinctively, and Gustav, who was standing in front of Meng Yang, also raised the wooden staff in his hand with a solemn expression.

In the corner of a collapsed house, the head of a canine slowly poked out, baring its teeth and cracking its mouth, staring at Meng Yang and Gustav.

Then there was another low roar.

Meng Yang glanced left and right, and soon saw that on the quiet and dilapidated street, three more canines jumped out in several other directions, the size of a dog but smaller than a wolf, with short and round ears, and stubby limbs, slowly surrounding the two of them.

"What is this? Wild dogs? ”

Meng Yang looked at the canines that surrounded the two from all directions, and his heart was slightly nervous. It's not that he's afraid of dogs, it's that these canines just look at each other, and the cruelty and bloodlust in their eyes make him frightened for a while.

"No, it's not a wild dog! It's a jackal hunt! A ferocious and nimble beast, they are the companions of the gnolls! ”

Gustav quickly found a rusty iron sword from a pile of dry bones next to him, threw it to Meng Yang, and then his eyes swept over several hunting jackals, swept around, and said with great vigilance, "There are jackals around here!" ”

"Hunting jackals? Jackal? ”

Meng Yang was stunned at first when he heard this name, and then saw the iron sword thrown by Gustav and hurriedly picked it up, the iron sword weighed about a pound or more, and the style was a bit like a Han sword, holding the iron sword in his hand, he just heard the last half of Gustav's words, and was immediately stunned on the spot.

"Wait, you mean there are gnolls?"

It's just that these dog-like hunting jackals in front of him made Meng Yang feel difficult to deal with, and if there was another jackal like a pig-headed man, he felt that he would simply get out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den.

"Of course."

Gustav quickly pulled out a broken spear from a corpse, and used it to replace the wooden stick he had used as a crutch to walk, and said to Meng Yang with a solemn expression: "After the fall of the City of Despair, there is no safe place in this land, I suggest that you better release your summons, otherwise-"

Gustav didn't say anything more, but Meng Yang was helpless, "I'm afraid it won't be now!" ”

After kicking out the five players he summoned for the first time in a virtual online game when he was in the cave before, he released a maintenance message, and now several players are completely offline, after the spider was attacked in the Forest of Bones, Meng Yang contacted the summoned elves in his mind, and as a result, the five summoning seats were all gray, and then if he wanted to summon them in time, where was it possible.

"Damn, I'm really stupid, I knew that designing a team escort mission, even if these people see that it is a real other world, it is better than giving my life here!"

Meng Yang regretted it for a while in his heart, but now it's too late!

"Be careful!"

Gustav showed unexpected courage at this time, holding a half-cut gun in his hand, rejecting his fate when he was imprisoned by the pig-headed man, "As the remnants of the city of despair, it is our fate to fight against monsters!" ”

"Whew!"

At this moment, the four hunting jackals, which were getting closer and closer, suddenly stopped and raised their heads and shouted.

In a building on the corner of the ruined street, a figure suddenly jumped up, jumped to the roof of a building that had not yet collapsed, and ran quickly towards the two of them on all fours.

There was a pop of heavy objects falling to the ground.

In the middle of the four hunting jackals, a figure about the height of a normal person landed on all fours and slowly stood up.

This is a monster with a canine head and a human-like body, not as large and fat as a pig-headed man, but the body is strong and powerful, and the muscles are covered with gray-black long hair, which is somewhat similar to what werewolves Meng Yang has seen in some film and television works, but when seen up close, the sharp fangs and cruel eyes are really frightening.

"Gnoll?!"

After Meng Yang saw this monster appear, he clutched the iron sword tightly with both hands, after experiencing the crisis of the pig-headed man's captivity, he already had some courage to face the horror of this humanoid creature, but at this time, he still couldn't help but be frightened!

"Roar!"

A low roar came out of the mouth of the jackal that appeared, and with a wave of its hand, two hunting jackals instantly burst out from the side, tentatively attacking Meng Yang and Gustav.

Looking at the hunting jackal that suddenly rushed over, Meng Yang didn't have time to regret why he didn't summon the player to protect him, and the moment the hunting jackal rushed over, the iron sword in his hand slashed out.

Although he had not practiced any swordsmanship, and the iron sword was rusty, at least it was a sharp weapon, and he believed that as long as he could slash this hunting jackal, the other party would definitely be seriously injured if he did not die.

But the action of hunting jackals was unexpectedly sensitive, and at the moment when Meng Yang's iron sword was split, he jumped to the other side with a twist, and then his limbs suddenly pulled on the ground, and he quickly jumped up and bit towards Meng Yang's neck.
