When using the Heavenly Gate to fight against the Demon King, Lu Mang did his best.
But the problem is that as a brave man, he was summoned to the God Realm, and then entered the world of S-level difficulty, Gaia Brand, this process was too hasty, and he didn't have time to cultivate and improve his level at all.
Although in the middle of this, because of the effect of the unexpected appearance of the golden finger, he really increased his level by dozens of levels.
But that's not enough, it's okay to deal with ordinary mobs, but it's a lot more difficult to deal with the four heavenly kings under the demon king.
And today he wants to directly fight the demon king, and the consequences can be imagined.
Not only did he fail to defeat the Demon King, but he was almost planted here.
The night is so deep, so deep that it is intoxicating and heartbreaking.
The clouds, like a huge iron curtain covering the sky and the earth, made Lu Mang feel extremely depressed, and he couldn't wait to poke a hole in it so that he could breathe a little.
Boom Boom Boom ......
In the sound of iron hooves like a storm, Lu Mang hid in the thick shadows of the street corner, coldly watching the Gaia Brand Continent's Gaia Brand Continental Guards of Tianyuan suddenly come and go.
These people are all in collusion with each other, right?
Otherwise, why is the abandoned bell tower so close to the mainland of Gaia Brand, and no one has come to check it after several gunshots. And after the abandoned bell tower is set on fire, will the Gaiabrand Continental Guard appear so quickly?
Hum! Tar someone with the same brush!
Slowly, the restlessness of the entire slum finally subsided.
There were wanderers who dared to stand on the side of the street and point at the burning bell tower, as well as civilians who dared to hide behind the window lattice with the lights out, and those mercenaries who were confident and capable of participating, all of them gradually returned to their own life trajectory, as if the burning bell tower was just a little condiment in their lives.
As far as the eye can see, the towering black stone tower still stands in the northwest corner of the Tianyuan Gaia Brand Continental Wall, where it constantly spews out huge white vapor balls throughout the year. It was as if it was the respite of the demons of hell, bringing power and light to the rich area in the center of the Tianyuan Gaia Brand Continent, while also bringing never-ending pain and illness to the slums.
The starry sky can never be seen, the dilapidated and leaky houses, the streets overflowing with sewage, the gray squirrels scurrying back and forth, the smell of rancid smell so thick that it can barely be dissolved, and the corpses of those who have died in the streets, either due to sudden illness or murder......
These constitute a living picture of hell on earth.
This is the slum.
Lu Mang wrapped the linen coat on his body, not because his body felt cold, but because of the cold that spread from the bottom of his heart. What is the meaning of existence in such a world and such a world?
Gaia Brand Continent, Lu Mang has heard of it. A huge manor located on the southeastern outskirts of the Tianyuan Gaia Brand Continent, nearly five kilometers away from the slums. At Lu Mang's current walking speed, he can reach it in two hours if he travels through the Gaia Brand continent. If you want to walk around the Tianyuan Gaia Brand Continent Gaia Brand Continent Gaia Brand Continental Wall, you may not be able to catch up with the dawn.
It is said that the continent of Gaiabrand was a secluded place for a noble baron many years ago, and then somehow fell into the hands of Captain George of the slave catcher team and became his private residence. Then the vicinity of the manor became a desolate place, and no one liked to be neighbors with Captain George, and those who could afford it moved away. As for those who are incapable, it is difficult to say what will happen to them.
Some people say that they once dreamed of the ghosts of relatives who originally lived near the continent of Gaiabrand; Others say that they became slaves for various reasons, and were captured and sold by slave teams to the distant Republic of Nice.
There were different opinions, and as the administrator, the Tianyuan Gaia Brand Continent Gaia Brand Continent Lord Mansion had never expressed an opinion on this, and slowly people's discussions decreased a lot.
In these years, there are many reasons for becoming a slave, such as illness, poverty, gambling, duels, etc., no one knows if they can still see the sun tomorrow if they sleep this night, and how can they care why others have become slaves? It's still good now, after all, there are emperors and ministers in charge. If it had been the previous era, the Dark Age, the slave owners would have grabbed some people in the crowd and given them the status of slaves.
Well, it's a given, wishful thinking from slave owners.
These are all anecdotes that Lu Mang heard after inviting an old mercenary to drink a glass of rum in the Dragon Slayer's Bar two days ago, as for whether it is true or false, Lu Mang does not plan to comment more.
Lu Mang walked in the car, trying to make himself more like a lonely traveler walking in the middle of the night. The Tianyuan Gaia Brand Continent does not close the Gaia Brand Continental Gate at night, but there are always Gaia Brand Continental Guards on duty under the Gaia Brand Continental Gate, and suspicious people who are in a hurry will be interrogated. Although he is not afraid of this, it is always a troublesome thing.
Fortunately, the guards at the gate of the Gaia Brand Continent will also be tired, and the long-term peace has worn out the vigilance of these people, and when Lu Mang passed by, they just raised their eyes and fell asleep again.
Entering the Gaia Brand Continent, the environment has changed a lot, and compared to what Lu Mang saw and heard in the slums, it can be regarded as a world of difference. At least there will be no filth on the streets, and there will be no human or animal carcasses everywhere.
Although there are also gray squirrels in the continent of Gaia Brand from time to time, these gray squirrels have lost the courage to confront humans compared to their cousins living in the slums, and have returned to the shadows where they should be.
In addition to being clean and tidy, the biggest difference between the Tianyuan Gaia Brand Continent and the slums should be the taste. There is no constant rancid stench in the slums, and the scorching smell of white vapor balls blown by trade winds.
Of course, even in the Gaia Brand Continent, if it is not the bustling area in the center of the Gaia Brand Continent, there will still be a faint smell in the air. It was the smell of burning black oil in the street lamp, which was not particularly unpleasant, but it would make people feel very uncomfortable. Smelling too much can make people feel dizzy, nauseous, and sick to their stomachs, but when you return to a place with fresh air, these symptoms will ease and eventually disappear.
It is said that the street lamps in the downtown area in the center of the Gaia Brand continent are larger and more numerous, but they do not have these peculiar smells, but have a faint fragrance of mast flowers. Because although the street lamps there burn black oil refined from black stone, they are refined high-grade black oil, which is very expensive, and the high-grade black oil consumed by the street lamps in just one block is worth as much as the ordinary black oil burned in all other areas of the entire Tianyuan Gaia Brand Continent in a month.
Lu Mang didn't plan to go to the downtown area to see the street lamps there, because with his clothes, he was usually not qualified to go there, even during the day, he would be interrogated by the patrolling guards, let alone at night.
Besides, no matter where the street lights are, as long as the lights are bright enough, Lu Mang can see his wounds clearly and treat them simply.
