The black city in front of him gradually became clear, the whole city was made of a kind of black rock, and the periphery of the city was planted with a dark green dwarf crop. These crops are covered with clusters of green fruits. Not far away was a small stone chamber, from which the sound of rushing water and metal could be heard. Wu Wei perceptually probed the past, and found that there was a scrawny slave in each stone room, these slaves had long metal chains tied to their feet, and the other section was fixed on the stone wall of the stone room, they kept drawing water from the ground, and then resisted the heavy iron bucket, and moved step by step to water those dwarf crops, and the water on the ground quickly seeped into the sand, and the sand soil was almost indistinguishable except for the slight color.

Wu Wei passed by these stone chambers, and the slaves either lowered their heads and worked hard, or raised their heads and slowly glanced at them, their eyes were also numb and lifeless.

Wu Wei stepped up his pace and walked to the front of the city gate. The huge black metal gate was almost completely closed, leaving only a gap of less than two meters for pedestrians to enter and exit, and the guards standing at the gate were wrapped in dusty gray robes, and they also looked lifeless, and the weapons in their hands were all low-grade iron weapons, without the slightest power to speak of.

The guards at the gates just stood there mechanically, paying no attention to the pedestrians entering and exiting the gates. Wu Wei followed the flow of people into this black city.

The inhabitants of the black city are very rough in appearance, most of them have beards, and even the women look very vicious, everyone wears black and gray robes, some even hold their faces with long scarves, and only a few women occasionally wear some red ornaments.

Wu Wei walked along the central street towards the center of the city, and Wu Wei felt the breath of the Tree of Life coming there, unlike other Trees of Life, there was a little more stubbornness and tenacity in this breath.

In the center of the black city, Wu Wei finally saw her, this tree of life was about 30 meters high, with few leaves, and its branches were twisted and deformed, three or two branches coiled together, stretching towards the sky. The soil here is poor, there is little rain a year, and there are no large plants to survive except for her.

Wu Wei gently put his hand on the tree to feel her strength, and then a male voice came from behind him.

"You're a gamer from outside?"

Wu Wei turned his head to see a gray-robed man standing behind him, who was taking off his hood and revealing his face. A fair face, cleaned up, and blue eyes looked at Wu Wei with kindness.

Wu Wei turned around and asked, "Have you seen me?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I've seen all the other gamers here." You don't want a newcomer, you accidentally rushed in from the other side of the Sea of Silence, right? That's how a few people came in before. ”

The man patted the dust on his sleeve and continued: "This dead place is called Shazao City, don't think about going out easily when you come." ”

The man straightened his robe, stretched out a hand from it, and said, "Fox Mason, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Wu Wei stretched out his hand and shook him gently, and asked, "Isn't there a road to the Savage Land here?" ”

Mason replied, "Where do you want to go?" Oh my God, have you been deceived, you have to rush to the Silent Sea to the Savage Land, there are other ways to go, why do you want to enter Shazao City? ”

Wu Wei smiled: "No one lied to me, I came by myself, are you free?" Find a place to sit for a while and tell me about the place. ”

Mason shrugged his shoulders and said, "The richest thing here is time, but time alone can't help us find a place where we can drink and talk." ”

Wu Wei said: "I'll come out of the money, you can find a place." ”

Mason laughed: "It's useless to have money alone, you need some hard currency here." ”

Wu Wei took out an apple casually, threw it to Mason, and said, "I have a lot of all kinds of things on me, lead the way." ”

Mason took the apple, wiped it carefully, took a small bite, and said to Wu Wei: "This is the best thing I've eaten since I entered the game." Come on, let's go to the date bar. ”

Wu Wei followed Mason into a bar, which was almost indistinguishable from the other buildings except for a large wine barrel used to decorate the doorway. As soon as Wu Wei entered, he smelled a strong aroma of wine.

"This is a specialty here, sand date wine. The main food of this sand date city is the sand date fields outside the city. Almost every day you eat sand dates here, but if you can swallow sand worm meat, you can also choose to be a carnivore. ”

Mason led Wu Wei to a table in the corner and sat down. A muscular woman strode over and asked in a rough voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

Wu Wei took out a few Elven Canyon fruits and put them on the table, and said, "Just drink something." ”

The woman's eyes widened, and she picked up all the fruits and ran, and Mason tried to grab the next one only to be dumped.

The actions of the trio soon attracted the attention of the others. Wu Wei didn't care, and asked, "Why do you say that this is a dead land?" ”

Mason rubbed his sore arm and replied, "Don't you really know?" You can get in and out here, needless to say that the Cheka Mountains are in the north, no one can get by, and the east is the Silent Inland Sea, there is an underground dark river that can enter here, even if you float in along the dark river, it is a life of death, not to mention swimming out against the current, the west and south are death deserts, only the southeast is possible to leave here, I have tried no less than 30 times, all of them ended in death, I really don't know why I came to this place! ”

"There's still a way to get to the Savages, right?"

"Yes, it's the passage in the southeast, it is said that there are seven days a year where you can enter and exit safely, calculate the time, there are still five months to arrive, no one can discern the direction in the rest of the time, the luckiest thing is to be able to return to Shazao City, most of them are trapped in it." Mason explained.

Wu Weizou frowned, he thought that crossing the Cheka Mountains would be a wild place, but he didn't expect it to be not so easy.

Mason looked at Wu Wei's bad face and continued: "You'd better not try to enter the Death Desert alone, there is no possibility of success, in fact, there is a feasible way. ”

Wu Wei asked, "What method?" ”

Mason craned his neck, looked left and right, and pointed to the back of a man at the bar, "That's the desert merchant, and he goes to the Wild Lands every few months, and every time he goes there, he hires a group of people to go with him. ”

Wu Wei asked, "Did he take out a gamer?" ”

Mason shook his head and said, "The last time he went to the Savage Lands, the players were all just entering the game, and it is said that he encountered bandits on the way, and all the players died, and only some locals followed him out. But it was all rumors, and the locals never came back. ”

Wu Wei listened, got up and walked towards the desert merchant.
