Chapter 297: Dark Town Encounters Evil
Vanessa is the kind of person Xu Changqing likes, who can be proactive and pioneering.
Xu Changqing didn't talk to her, but through Xu Changqing's actions, she predicted that 'march to the land of light!' 'Possibility.
So, she approached Lucien and thought that the guards might as well go out as a team to sweep up the remaining monsters.
Lucien agreed without much thought.
He felt that the guards really needed actual combat training, and even himself, they needed to hone their combat skills. Actual combat is far more effective than sparring.
So in the afternoon of the same day, fifteen combat squads marched in all directions, and the fifty men left behind were not only the guards of the Greenstone Fort, but also responsible for going out to support when needed.
The real ones in charge of guarding are actually Lucien and the foursome, Xu Changqing has a restraint order in this regard, and the soul erosion of twisted monsters is particularly effective for them, and before developing a way to deal with it, Xu Changqing does not allow them to be too active in cleaning up the remnants of monsters.
Meanwhile, the Julian trio had managed to enter Kabank.
Today, there are more than 30,000 people living in Carbank, and it can be said that in the whole of Carathen, this is a real big city.
It's just that such people are not honorable, and nearly half of them are fleeing.
Before these refugees came, Kabank did not prepare everything for them, houses, food, clothes and other daily necessities, nothing was enough. Even the supplies here are not enough for the locals themselves, let alone for outsiders.
And even so, people are still self-consistent and balanced. Naturally, there are many, many outrageous dark deeds that go beyond the bottom line of morality.
But when the external pressure is too great, even this darkness becomes normal to some extent. What you can't adapt to is to collapse, to die, and then the corpse and even the soul will be used.
In the modern era of the origin world, portraying humans as viruses is a relatively literate way of saying for many people. Popular, pretending, grandstanding.
But in Kabank, it's true. When viruses are unable to multiply outward, they devour inwards in order to survive.
The rancid air was mixed with the strange smell of meat, and Julian's faces were not good-looking, they knew what kind of meat it was.
Rainwater and garbage, including excrement, make Kabank a giant cesspool. The stench, squalor and plague prevail.
Without the cleaning staff for public facilities, normal order would have collapsed, and a myriad of bizarre and often extreme rules dominate the place.
Along the way, Julian and the three have encountered a lot of disgusting things, and it is elegant to pretend to be pitiful to women and children.
They even encountered an unreasonable suicidal maniac, the other party knew what would happen after his death, and even then he was still willing to be killed on the spot by the three Julians, so he attacked with Wang Ba punch very frantically.
None of the three could imagine what kind of reason would have been given to a person to choose such a way of self-determination.
Later, they learned that if the person was unwilling to gamble on the possibility of hurting them less than one percent, then they had to have the consciousness of being eaten by the piece. This method of eating is very cruel, because the meat needs to be kept as fresh as possible, so the target of being eaten by slices will die very slowly.
There is no doubt that this is a technique that has been developed in extreme darkness. Just listening to it makes you feel a chill seeping out of your bones.
Such a filthy sight naturally made the three of them feel extremely bad, and Todd felt that this place was already hell, a world that belonged to dark beings, and it was probably pointless to save the people here.
Julian, on the other hand, is convinced that there are survivors worth salvage.
Well, it was for this glorious reason that the three of them struggled through the stinking streets.
Then, they broke away from the slum-like outer area and saw the inner area with some signs of civilization.
There is also a cross-flow of sewage, and in the towns of this era, the sewage system is not very good, and people's awareness of hygiene is also weak. Loss of order, and the city gates are closed, no interaction with the outside world, and even the sewers are worried about being blocked by monsters using the invasion, so it's strange that the hygiene can be improved.
This means that the Calassen area is at a high latitude and has a lot of wind, otherwise the plague alone would have killed the entire city.
Either way, one can always find a solution that is not good, but it is not the worst. For example, this inner area. People almost do not walk on the ground, and the wooden planks between the roofs and windows are the walkways. Here, everyone is a member of the Assassin Brotherhood in Assassin's Creed, and parkour is a basic skill.
When the people here saw the three people, there were few disrespectful, and they basically immediately gave way, and if possible, stood aside and bowed.
The three of them are not domineering, but in this city, they are still too eye-catching.
Just because they're clean enough, their deliberately simplified outfit sets them apart.
Secondly, the power of the nature talisman is protecting them, giving them a faint breath of life.
This kind of breath can be felt by ordinary people instinctively, strong, healthy, clean, and they give people this impression.
There are only a handful of people in the city who can maintain a state like this, and it may not be so good. Just for this, the three of them are big people who can't be offended in people's perception.
Of course, there is nothing to be complacent, and the three of them know very well that the courtesy of these people is just a sad proof. Although it is not as cruel as it is on the periphery, it is clear that the sacrifice of dignity is still widespread.
What to sell in order to survive in this area, the three of them don't want to think deeply, it's too heavy.
"Julian, I don't think there's any need to look any further." Hammerstone looked at the castle about a kilometer away and said solemnly.
"I can feel that there's something more depressing over there. Let's go back and report and use our imagination a little. ”
"What do you think of it?" Julian looked at the dark fortress under the clouds, and asked without turning his head: "A completely depraved nobleman?" Necromancer? Or a vampire? ”
"Worse." Hammerstone's eyes narrowed, and his tone was firm, as if his gaze had penetrated the layers of masonry and saw the situation inside.
Todd interjected: "Then it can only be on the premise of Julian's words, plus it has been eroded and parasitic by monsters." ”
The corners of Julian's mouth curled slightly: "Then we'll kill it!" ”
Todd interjected again: "Maybe we have to kill it." ”
As he spoke, the two looked at Hammerstone.
Hammerstone yelled, "What are you doing with me? When has Uncle Hammerstone ever died? Before, I was just worried that I wouldn't even have the appetite for late-night snacks. ”
As it turned out, Hammerstone had the potential to be crow's mouth, and when the three of them broke into the main hall of the castle and saw the unclean bones that had obviously been gnawed and gnawed, they really didn't even have the appetite for supper.
Sen Sen's white bones are actually not terrible, and the three of them have seen a lot of dead corpses, it is this kind of flesh with bones, or bones with tendons and meat strips that do not have some kind of gooy that may be salivating, is the most greasy and crooked, and the real heavy taste.
Especially when looking at those eyeballs that have lost a lot of face flesh, no eye sockets, and even deflated eyeballs, there is still the horror and despair of a tragic death, which is terrifying, and the will is almost estimated to go crazy directly.
Then, the three of them heard a low beast roar, and a receptionist appeared in the empty hall, they thought it would be a deformed and hideous monster, but it turned out that it was wrong, it was actually a human! And look at the characters who are dressed as guards.
"There's something wrong with these guys!" Todd reminded.
"I see it, my eyes are ......"
As Hammerstone spoke, he saw the eyes of these guards, who had been rolling wildly, shoot out of their eye sockets like bullets that had been shot out, and flew towards the three of them.
All three of them have super long eyesight, and they can see clearly that the places behind these eyeballs, which should be nerve connections, are now tentacle bushes, which look like a bunch of long earthworms writhing their bodies.
"Wind!" Todd already had the bow in his hand, pulling the empty strings, not releasing the energy arrows, but vibrating the air and pushing out the cyan light.
Puff puff! The strong flow of wind stimulated the effect of the eyeball's touch explosion, and the disgusting liquid and a long worm with a black pyramidal head spread out, and it was actually able to swim against the wind in strong winds, and it was obviously a magical creature with a certain affinity for the wind element.
Hammerstone pours wine, poof! The fire burst out of his mouth, and then turned into a large swirling cloud of flames, burning the insects in the air that were fighting against the wind.
Jingle Bell! The insect corpse fell to the ground, and its body was already burned to ashes, except for its pointed head, which made the sound of iron nails smashing.
"Cheap thing, it's really insidious!" Hammerstone took a sip.
Thanks to Todd's quick reaction, this thing can't be hard-connected at all, it's close, and it explodes when you touch it, and immediately the cone bee rides its face and gets drilled into the flesh, God knows what will happen!
Click! A sword light flashed and vanished, and the initiator was Julian, and the target was diagonally above the three of them.
There have been monsters lurking in this hall and above the main entrance, and the three of them have been pretending not to find out, and sure enough, this guy can't hold it back, so he took the opportunity to attack, and Julian seized the opportunity.
Unlike Todd and Hammerstone, Julian doesn't have any elemental affinity, but his razor-sharp power is also extraordinary, cutting gold and breaking stone, and there are few things that his blade can't cut.
The monster that struck was at both ends.,Because the energy slash is too sharp.,The monster that would have exploded with a lot of power.,It's just not able to blow up.,It's like a water bag that has been cut by a laser.,Whoa! A large amount of fishy body fluids were poured down in the air.
Todd said as he pulled the towel, "I don't want to eat tomorrow's meal!" ”
Hammerstone also anxiously ramen towel: "Don't mention food to me." ”
I saw that there were a large number of trypnocephatic worms jumping and wriggling in the dark green body fluids with a black fetal membrane-like substance, and the skin that was cut in two by Julian was like a demolished scarecrow, with charred bones, sticks and skin divided in two, and as for the meat, except for a few pieces of rotten and stinky meat in a half-melted state, the rest were pus.
Gollum! The skull was not cut in half, rolled a few times, and a bunch of tentacles stretched out from under the neck cavity, and tentacles also stretched out from both ears, click! Click! opened and closed his mouth and quickly crawled towards the three of them.
Hammerstone pulled down the mask and another burst of fire erupted, and the skull flew up before the tentacles could be scorched.
Hammerstone and Julian didn't make a hard connection, but chose to dodge, and Todd gave each other a ride with the bow of the wind, and the flaming head flew towards one of the monster guards who pounced on them from all directions.
Boom! The skull exploded with a muffled sound, and the cone worm crawled all over the guard's body for the first time, and then drilled into it frantically.
Immediately after that, a large number of tentacles broke out of the guard's body, and the whole person was like rotten wood covered with mushrooms, tattered and quickly dried up, and on these tentacles, the tryptocephalic worm struggled to drill in, corroding one charred hole after another.
The tentacles fluttered wildly, causing them to suffer as well as the other monster guards in their vicinity.
"Gale!" Todd frequently pulled the bow of the wind, and the cyan light formed a shockwave of all-round release, blowing the advancing guard monster in reverse.
Puff puff! The tentacles in the guards' bodies burst out, trying to stabilize their bodies by pulling at the railings of staircases, or pillars.
The three of them took the opportunity to retreat, and the hammerstone scattered more than a dozen flame bottles in one breath with a special technique.
It was as if a large number of bombs had been detonated at the same time, except that there was no shock wave, and the effect of fireworks was definitely more than that, a large number of flames filled the entire hall, and the flowing fire sprayed and rolled down the aisle, and the tongue of fire licked and made a strange whistling sound.
The three of them were almost pushed out of the temple by the heat. Then at the door, new monsters were already waiting for them.
"Look, I'm right!? We're going to have to fuck out! Todd said as he put away the Wind Bow and switched to two small, delicate crossbows......
