Chapter 220: Desert Ancient City
An ancient city in an oasis, full of exotic atmosphere. γLatest chapter reading. γ
As far as the eye can see, it is a bit like the ancient city of Loulan in ancient Chinese legends.
The area of the ancient city convinced everyone present that it was definitely not the handiwork of humans.
The ancient city was staggeringly large, with streets extending in all directions, and there were tens of thousands of houses in the city.
Zhao Hao and the others flew in the sky with the help of their wings, overlooking the ancient city, and couldn't count how many houses there were. According to preliminary estimates, there is no problem with living in tens of thousands of households. If humans were standing side by side on the street like an army assembled, it is estimated that it could accommodate millions of people.
There is a huge square in the ancient city, and the ground is as smooth as mutton fat and white jade.
In the center of the square, a pillar of colorful light rose into the sky.
"The day has come after all"
In a desert where no one could see, a woman in white muttered in a low voice.
She looked at the ancient city, and then looked up at the sun and moon in the sky, and there was a bit of sadness in her beautiful eyes, and there was a hint of relief.
"Meow!"
Ah Bao, who was lying at Zhao Hao's feet, suddenly let out a cry like a cat and a bear, and ran towards the ancient city.
Look at the red panda's tossy appearance, as if there is something good waiting for him inside.
Zhao Hao's heart moved, and he didn't stop Bao.
He still remembers that when he first went to Drifting Island, Po's reaction was very flat, and he couldn't get excited at all.
Thinking about it now, Ah Bao at that time didn't seem to agree with Zhao Hao to attack Drifting Island, sometimes it looked at Zhao Hao's eyes, as if to say: "Obscene development, don't wave!" β
And today, the exuberant appearance of the ancient pet is clearly saying: "I will take the lead in the charge!" β
Zhao Hao decided to take a gamble.
The spiritual sense of animals far surpasses that of humans, and the ancient beast souls are even more extraordinary, maybe Ah Bao has a premonition of something. Anyway, the fat panda had already rushed over, so he simply asked the dead fat man to throw stones and ask for directions.
Unlike the Hanging Ancient City, the desert ancient city in front of him does not have a protective shield.
After seeing the ruins of the Drifting Island and the magnificence of the ancient desert city, Zhao Hao summed up a lesson: not all ancient cities have guardian enchantments, and the ancient city of the Hanging Island is likely to be a special case.
Knock knock!
Po rushed to the gate of the city, which was not gold, but also wood, and slammed the gate fiercely.
"Goo!"
Suddenly there was a strange roar from inside the ancient city, some sharp and piercing.
On the city wall more than ten meters high, a strange creature appeared.
It was a giant scorpion three meters long, dark green all over, glowing with a strange and terrifying luster, and it was highly poisonous at first glance.
The head of the poisonous scorpion is shocking, and it has a human head!
The facial features of the man's head were blurred, and he was so ugly that he couldn't bear to look at him directly.
"Ritian, is this the kind of half-orc that Niu Pigeon said, which is equivalent to an intermediate monster?"
Dong Gantian was amazed by the appearance of the poisonous scorpion monster, and opened his mouth wide to say a word.
"That thing isn't even a half-orc, I guess it's one of the more powerful of the beginner youkai, and it's a little short of the intermediate youkai." Zhao Hao said that he had seen Sister Deer and the Blood Charm Sword Demon with high appearance, and his understanding of monsters was a little deeper than that of his companions.
"Junior youkai? I'm afraid it's a yarn! Zhang Dekai was messy on the spot, and his blood boiled: "Brothers and sisters, go a wave!" Assemble and attack each other's crystals! β
"Calm down, you forgot the lesson from last time?" Qin Sheng pressed the messy Zhang Dekai and said cautiously: "I don't know how many scorpion spirits there are in this city, if we kill hundreds of them, we can't bear them, let's take a look first." β
At this moment, black shadows flashed on the city wall, and three more poisonous scorpion monsters appeared.
The four monsters stood on the city wall, and their aura was very strong, far surpassing the black and white eagle king in the western ruins.
"I'll test the waters, your highness."
Zhao Hao said a word to his companions and swaggered towards the city gate.
He wants to verify a bug: youkai above the intermediate level will not actively attack humans.
The Azure Dome attacked him because he was close to the Pillar of Colorful Light. Before that, Zhao Hao didn't even find out about the existence of the giant egg. This is actually very revealing, and it can be used to determine the level of the youkai.
"Goo! Goo! β
As soon as he saw Zhao Hao walking under the city tower, the four-headed scorpion monster let out an angry roar.
Whew!
The two scorpion monsters couldn't suppress their temper and flew down from the city.
Zhao Hao was not surprised, those two scorpion spirits actually jumped down and launched an attack, and it was likely that they did not meet the standard of intermediate monsters.
A poisonous scorpion wielded a large pincer like a lobster and slammed it towards Zhao Hao's neck. Zhao Hao deliberately tested the power of this monster, but he didn't dodge, and raised the Aoki blade to block it.
With a bang, Zhao Hao's arm was numb, and he almost didn't hold the Aoki blade steady.
As soon as the connoisseur made a move, the scorpion spirit was certainly not as good as a big demon like Sister Lu, but it was not easy to bully, at least it crushed the black and white eagle king street, and the psychic level power was really extraordinary.
Zhao Hao did not advance but retreated, and slashed the waist of the scorpion monster with a knife.
With his current level of condensation, even if he didn't channel natural energy, a single knife with a shattering artistic conception was enough to easily kill a high-level mutant monster in an instant. But when the knife in front of him was cut down, the scorpion monster just screamed in pain, and the shell on its body was intact, not even skin injuries, and its strong defense was shocking.
"Ritian, be careful!"
Suddenly, Qin Sheng shouted a warning.
In the open space in front of the city gate, another scorpion monster saw that his companion couldn't handle Zhao Hao, and immediately conspired with a cold heart.
I saw that the scorpion monster opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a cloud of green and slimy liquid.
A foul-smelling fishy smell came, Zhao Hao was startled into a cold sweat, and he moved a small inch, flashing seven or eight steps away in the blink of an eye. This set of hard practice for more than half a year saved his life at a critical moment.
Puff puff!
The sound was similar to the sound of boiling water sprinkled on the sand, and I saw the green liquid spilled down, black smoke came out of the nearby soil, and a fist-sized stone on the ground was melted after being contaminated with the venom, just like bread soaked in hot water, and its toxicity can be imagined.
Woohoo!
Qin Sheng and Zhang Dekai opened their bows left and right, each shooting an arrow at the scorpion monster that was spewing venom.
Dangdang made a crisp sound, and two sharp arrows seemed to shoot on the steel plate, failing to pose a threat to the scorpion spirit.
"My day, is it so hard?"
Zhang Dekai scolded very indecently, since he got the seven-star feather arrow at the treasure appraisal conference and started a life of shooting through the sky, he has never met an animal that he can't shoot, and today he has encountered a strong opponent.
At this moment, Zhao Hao suddenly made a killing move.
Wild Dash!
The other swords are one, and this time they have triggered three natural energies, and the power is amazing.
I saw a flash of cyan knives, and the venom in the mouth of a scorpion monster had not yet spurted out, and the head fell to the ground in an instant. The ugly human head rolled twice on the ground, and was beaten back into its original shape and turned into a scorpion head.
And the three-meter-long giant scorpion body also shrank rapidly, about a meter long, and it was prostrate on the ground motionless.
