Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Walls of Old White Star City
CHAPTER XXXVIII
Take a magic energy truck, start from Passage Village, walk straight east for three hours, cross the source of the Canghe River, and you can drive the car onto the road to the old White Star City.
Less than two hours on the road, you will see the walls of the old White Star Castle.
The northern part of the tribe is mostly hilly, and the water of the Wunu River and the source of the Canghe River irrigate the fertile land here.
This is the most important production area of the Hu tribe.
Uncle Huang Tao's magic truck is speeding forward among the rolling hills, driving and playing with Mastiff Jing.
Han Wei sat in the back row, looking out the window at the fields of late summer, and his heart fell into deep thought.
Why did the Heavenly Demon's weapons grow out of thin air?
Why doesn't Skymagic's ice cream maker need to be refilled?
Why does the Heavenly Demon Factory still have energy for 3,000 years?
They...... Don't you need to consider the law of conservation of energy?
Han Wei drew a dagger and looked at it in front of him.
This dagger is also a product of the Great Forge of Heavenly Demons, and before they left the village, Old Man Bayan gave one to each of the three teenagers - in case of any emergency, something is better than nothing.
Before coming, Han Wei had tried to use two daggers to slash at each other, and a gap was punched in the blade of the dagger.
And now, when he left the passage village and drove for more than an hour in the mountains and fields in the north of the tribe, the gap in the dagger had actually "healed" by itself!
Han Wei looked at the dagger that was as good as new, and there was more confusion in his heart.
What the hell are the demons? They have done this in the industrial field...... Extreme.
But why are the Heavenly Demon soldiers so barbaric and primitive?
Why...... Are they going to invade the Earth?
Throughout the journey, Han Wei was thinking about these questions over and over again in his mind.
A large number of new discoveries become new clues, and a large number of clues come out at once and pile up and become new problems. Along the way, he made countless speculations, some of which were even crazier than the craziest films.
But until you get more clues, it's all speculation.
So in the midst of this repeated conjecture, the magic energy truck circled a hill, and the walls and skyline of the old White Star City appeared in front of them.
It was a staggering complex.
The sprawling complex of buildings frames a mountain-like undulation of the skyline, and all the buildings in the city are in a similar style: boxy houses, gray stone masonry with a small amount of wood, and a simple slope roof.
Gray boulders built a strong and majestic wall around it, and around the wall, there was a hand-dug moat - using the water of the Cang River.
At this time, however, the vast and astonishing complex was silent, but not dead.
When we got closer, we saw that the whole city was already full of plants.
Huge plant rhizomes arch the ground and emerge through the crevices to grow unbridled in the city, vines and buildings entwined.
This city, reoccupied by nature, has become a new playground for small animals, where countless birds and beasts have made new homes.
Some huge vines even broke through the city walls, and the whole city looked dark green everywhere.
"Hey, every time I see the old White Star City, I feel hairy. Huang Tao parked his car about a kilometer or so from the city.
"I'll drive right here, those awesome guys in the clan can't sprint much slower than the magic truck, and I'll be miserable if the guard puppets in the city have this speed. ”
After the three teenagers got out of the car, Huang Tao waved goodbye to them and drove back to Passage Village.
Because they weren't sure how long they would stay here, they didn't ask Huang Tao to pick them up, but prepared to wait for the business here to be done and return to Baixi Town, and then take the magic energy train back to Baixing City.
With Han Wei's foot strength, one kilometer is only a few minutes.
At the foot of the city wall, Mastiff Jing frowned: "The city gate has collapsed, what should I do?"
In front of them, the city gate had completely collapsed, the two metal gates were rusty and crooked, and many boulders and gates were piled up.
"It seems that the people who evacuated the city in the first place blocked the gates to prevent the puppets from leaving the city. Han Wei looked at the surrounding city walls while analyzing, "All the city gates are estimated to be similar, it seems that we have to find another way into the city." ”
"We can move these boulders and clear a way into the city. Mastiff Jing pointed to the boulders, "We all have so much strength now." ”
"You'll use all your strength before entering the city, and you'll be exhausted by the grumpy puppets. Bai Hua said expressionlessly and walked towards the foot of the city wall.
Mastiff Jing said unconvinced: "Then what do you say we should do now......? Uh, really climbing?"
As he spoke, he saw that Bai Hua had already walked under the city wall, dragging a thick vine and starting to climb.
Han Wei and Mastiff Jing hurriedly followed.
The walls of the old White Star City were full of cracks and vines, and the three teenagers found their focus without much effort, and even if they encountered some distant locations, they could easily jump over them with their physical strength.
While climbing, Han Wei frowned: "I don't think something is quite right. ”
Mastiff Jing said below him, "Do you think something is wrong...... Eh, don't step on my head!"
Han Wei shrank his feet: "According to the records, there should be a lot of puppets in the old White Star City, why haven't we seen any of them for so long?"
Mastiff Jing grabbed a vine and climbed up a step: "This is normal, those puppets are blocked in the city, maybe there will be dozens of puppets singing and dancing waiting for you as soon as we climb up...... Damn, you're stepping on my head again!"
"Let you talk nonsense!" Han Wei glanced down at him and continued to climb up, "I think that according to the advanced level of the Heavenly Demon, there are so many magic puppets, this city wall should not be able to stop it at all." ”
"It may also be in disrepair and broken. Mastiff Jing muttered, "Anyway, it's good news that I haven't met it, why do you want to do so much?"
Han Wei shook his head and drove out the uneasiness in his heart, the two possibilities that Mastiff Jing said were very low.
Those ancient heavenly demon relics were all intact for thousands of years, how could the puppets created fall into disrepair and damage after only eighteen years?
With the madness of the Heavenly Demon Industry, even if you throw those puppets into the steelmaking furnace and cook them for two hours, you can come alive.
Now the whole city is not visible, it could only be for other reasons.
Bai Hua, who was climbing on the top, suddenly stopped.
She lowered her head and asked Han Wei, "Han Wei, did you sense someone just now?"
Han Wei became vigilant for a moment, but he felt it carefully for more than ten seconds and didn't notice anything: "...... No, I didn't feel anything. ”
Mastiff Jing scratched his head (this action almost caused him to fall off the vine): "It's an illusion, right?"
Bai Hua didn't speak, and continued to climb up the vine.
Han Wei and Mastiff Jing followed behind her, and both went up to the city wall a few minutes later.
When the two of them saw it, Bai Hua half-squatted with a serious face: "It's not an illusion, someone did enter the city before us." ”
Following her gaze, Han Wei saw that there was a footprint on the ground.
A brand new footprint.
