Chapter 16: Evil Demon Beasts
"Tu, slaughter the city?" Si Xingfeng was stunned, even in his known memories of civilization, there had been a lot of barbarism. But such as the slaughter of the city and the construction of the Beijing Temple, which are extremely rare, and at the same time, there is no doubt that every slaughter of the city and the extermination of the clan is a tragic human tragedy.
Xiao Cong nodded, "Actually, more than ten years ago, there was another floating city near the giant capital city, called the East Ancient City. It's also the floating city I mentioned that the entire city is now completely lost. ”
Seeing that the remaining dozen or so grave wolves were also overturned by the furious three-eyed thunder crow one by one, Xiao Cong hurriedly waved his hand and signaled everyone to hide with him. After confirming that the ferocious three-eyed thunder crow did not perceive the breath of several of them, Xiao Cong looked at the purple-pupiled dragon wolf that seemed to be languishing with jealousy, and said in a low voice: "Although this ancient city in the east is much smaller than our giant capital, it was once one of the eight David cities in the Far Eastern fortress, and the city's defense force is actually not weak at all. However, it was such a majestic city, and it was only three hours from the time the signal for help was sent out to the strange disappearance. ”
"I remember that in order to assist the Eastern Ancient City in resisting the beast tide, we sent a total of more than 100 experienced wasteland clearing teams in the entire Jujing City, and I was also in one of the teams back then. Speaking of which, it was also fortunate that my floating boat had some problems with the energy reactor at that time, and it had to return to the sea not far from Jujing. Xiao Cong still seems to be haunted by the past, "I remember very well that it took three hours to install the new energy furnace. But before we could put the prepared energy blocks into it, news came back that not only had the giant capital city been breached, but even the aid team we sent out had almost all died in the beast tide! ”
Si Xingfeng scratched his hair, "Snake Lord, I seem to have heard people mention that our Jujing used to be one of the best cities in Eastern Xinjiang, and it had dealings with many floating cities, but since more than ten years ago, it has gradually degenerated into a lonely city, isn't it also related to the loss of the Eastern Ancient City you said?" ”
"That's right, the resources around our giant capital city are already scarce, and although there are countless ruins in the surrounding endless wilderness, each one is more dangerous than the other. In the early years, we were quite strong, and although we paid a lot of money, we also managed to develop several ruins and get a lot of gains. However, who would have thought that the elite squads and warriors we cultivated through these gains would be almost exhausted by the battle of the Eastern Ancient City. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Cong stretched out his right hand and took out a map from the gauntlet of his left arm, "After that, Jujing's strength was greatly damaged, and at the same time, because of the damage of a large number of long-range floating boats, we almost lost contact with other floating cities. You see, this area is where the original East Ancient City was located, and this is our giant capital, and as for the area where the other floating cities are located, they are extremely far away from us. ”
As Xiao Cong's fingers dotted back and forth on the old map, Si Xingfeng also had a general understanding of the geography of the surrounding area. The largest and closest square area on the map to the east is the Far Eastern Fortress, which is marked a striking red color, and around it there are seven or eight pale red imprints scattered around it, like stars holding the moon. Si Xingfeng had heard Xiao Cong mention that the Eastern Ancient City was an acropolis of the Far Eastern Fortress, so he easily knew and remembered the locations of the other seven cities.
Among the eight cities, only an area directly west of the Far Eastern Fortress was marked with a huge "cross", and Si Xingfeng knew that this probably represented the area where the long-lost Eastern Ancient City was located. Going down along the East Ancient City, there was a huge area with blank space, and Si Xingfeng knew that this was probably the wasteland area where he and the others were now. There are mountains and hills, woods and swamps, and there are rivers and rivers all over it, and it is a paradise for wild beasts.
And in the very center of this map, on a small area marked vermilion, there are two small characters written impressively, Jujing. Si Xingfeng knew that this map should have been carefully drawn by someone with Jujing City as the center, so he also observed it more and more carefully.
The lower area of this map is relatively simple, except for a large blank space, the mappers have only sporadically marked the general location of a few floating cities such as Shangyang and Qianyang. Si Xingfeng quickly looked at the entire map, and at the same time, his brain also engraved this map in his mind more intuitively and three-dimensionally.
Although I don't know what the western part of Jujing City is, Si Xingfeng knows it very well, but from this map, Jujing is the only hub connecting the Far Eastern Fortress area in that area, and it stands to reason that it should never be easily abolished, unless the connection between the Far Eastern Fortress and other floating cities is not close, and this will happen.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Si Xingfeng couldn't help but become more and more curious about the mysterious Far Eastern Fortress. Through Gucci, he could also understand that the level of technology in the Far Eastern Fortress was definitely far above that of the Giant Capital, so it should be easy to get in touch with the Giant Capital if the other side was willing.
But for what reason did the Far Eastern Fortress never send anyone to contact Jujing City?
And as one of the Eight David Cities in the Far East, why did the Eastern Ancient City suddenly suffer a massacre and disappear strangely?
And when it was in trouble, why didn't it ask for help from the Far Eastern Fortress, but chose to send a signal for help to the giant capital?
My intuition told me that there were probably many secrets hidden under the sudden loss of the Eastern Ancient City more than ten years ago! Of course, the current Si Xingfeng will not raise any questions, he feels that if he wants to discover the truth, he may need to go to the Far Eastern Fortress to explore clues in person. Even vaguely, Si Xingfeng was wondering if this matter was somehow related to the time and space storm he had experienced.
"But even if it was attacked by the beast tide and slaughtered, why would such a large floating city disappear entirely?" There are some questions that can't be asked, but the doubts that should be asked will still be asked normally.
"This has something to do with another legend!" Xiao Cong once again set his eyes on the purple-pupiled dragon wolf who was still lying on the ground, "It is rumored that after the purple-pupiled dragon wolf grows to a mature state, this demon beast has an extremely terrifying devouring ability, which can swallow all the metal into its body. ”
"Uh, Snake Lord, the purple-pupiled dragon wolf is only that big, I'm afraid the size of the Floating City is millions of times larger than it, how is this possible?" Si Xingfeng was stunned, he really couldn't believe that this kind of fantasy would come out of the mouth of Xiao Cong, who had always been cunning and cautious, in his opinion, how could this be possible!
"Hey, although it's really hard to believe, the purple-pupiled demon wolf is a demon beast after all, and even among demon beasts, it is also in the most powerful sequence." Xiao Cong said, "The advanced intelligent life of the demon beast is, to some extent, far more powerful than us humans. So don't be surprised, after all, even our bodies can produce incredible changes. So even if there is a purple-eyed giant wolf that can devour metal infinitely among the demon beasts, or a black-hearted penguin who is good at stealing other people's precious wealth, it is a very normal thing. ”
"It's just a matter of devouring metal, stealing someone else's wealth is too evil, isn't it?" Si Xingfeng responded.
"So some evil monsters are the old enemies of our human race, even if we use all our life's strength, we have to continue to fight against them!"
"But our individual is so weak, how can we defeat such a powerful demon beast?"
Xiao Cong shook his head: "The potential of human beings is huge, you are far from seeing people who really have powerful and extraordinary powers, they are all capable of defeating those monsters that seem to be very powerful. Moreover, don't look at the most evil black-hearted penguin among the monsters, although it is powerful, we don't need to be afraid of it, we have a strong race, as long as we go forward, it is difficult for us to defeat it, but in the end, it will be killed by us if it steals excessive wealth. ”
