Chapter 17: The City of Mist Walkers

There are no traces of birds left in the sky, and I have flown over. - Rabindranath Tagore.

The tin chariot struggled through the valley in the face of wind and rain, and the mud wrapped in tires was like a strange hand reaching out from the earth, blocking the chariot from entering some unknown territory.

"If this continues, the car will be drowned in mud." Alpha is a bit of a problem.

"Keep going." Bluebell hugged Rena, who was crying, and ordered forcefully.

The fat man hugged the little monkey Peter, staring blankly at the rain curtain outside the window, and a faint sadness could be vaguely seen.

Wren struggled in the pouring rain, and the pain in his heart made him forget everything. At this moment, his heart was full of coldness, and he just wanted to escape far away and find a warm corner to spend the rest of his life.

Behind him, however, there were two figures, one tall and one short, following closely behind, like two loyal guards.

The Hound Black Bei is getting old and slowing down, and he can't keep up with Wren's pace. Eventually, it collapsed in the rain, steaming hot from its mouth, staring at Wren's departing figure.

Before Kunta and Iwasan could get closer, Heibei's body suddenly hung in the air, and then disappeared into the rain.

I don't know how long he ran, but Wren entered a city. Although the rain is getting lighter, it is still difficult to hide the dead silence in it.

Wren walked quietly down the street, his head splitting, and finally fell to the ground in the dark.

It didn't take long for Wren to make his way to the end of the street with one leg dangling in the air, as if he was being dragged by something invisible.

Quinta and Iwayama also entered the city, but they did not see Wren's shadow.

"Be careful."

The rock mountain seemed to sense something, and an extremely dangerous aura permeated the strange city.

"Bang!"

Quinta fired a shot into the clearing ahead, only to hear several howls. Suddenly, the air currents in the air began to stir rapidly, as if something was surrounding the two of them.

Alpha finally crawled out of the mud and into the hard rocky terrain in the chariot. The rain is also gradually subduing. A magnificent rock city appears in front of you. The city seems to have gone through endless years, the gates have decayed, the towers have collapsed in half, and the stone walls have been weathered in pieces, as if they have not been repaired for a long time.

"The Light Chasers have been here." Before Alpha drove into the city, he prompted the bluebell.

"I'm asking you to find Wren, not a Light Chaser." Bluebell snapped angrily.

"This ......"

Just when Alpha was at a loss, he suddenly heard a 'bang' cannon sound.

"It's Quinta and them." The fat man said suddenly.

"They seem to be in there." Alpha seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and suddenly said excitedly.

The chariot quickly entered the gate and headed in the direction from which the cannon was fired.

However, the chariot wandered around the ruins for a long time, but no one was found.

"Wow!"

Just as Alpha was scratching the wall in a hurry, two dogs barked suddenly.

"It's Heibei." Rena suddenly broke free from Bluebell's arms and said sharply.

"There!" The fat man stuck his head out of the car window, and he already found the black shell running wild in the street.

Strangely, Heibei was running in the opposite direction to the chariot. Alpha made a sharp turn, turned the car around and chased in the direction of Heibei.

Heibei was running slower and slower, and there were bloody wounds on his body.

"Heibei, stop." Rena was so anxious that she burst into tears, but Heibei held her body and didn't stop for a single step.

There was a "bang", another cannon sound, followed by the sound of a "whoosh" energy machine gun. Quinta and Iwayama are facing fierce battles.

"You go after Heibei, I'll save people." Bluebell drew his long knife and jumped out of the chariot. Then it was like a civet cat flickering and moving on the broken wall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Rena and the fat man in the carriage took up their weapons at the same time, ready to deal with the crisis that might arise next.

"Whew!" With a scream, Heibei's figure suddenly fell.

The chariot drove in front of Hebei, only to find that Heibei had a long arrow made of glass. At this time, gurgling blood was pouring out of the wound.

Rena hurriedly opened the car door and picked Heibei up, but just as she was about to get into the car, she saw a huge figure appear from the air.

In terms of form, it is the kind of invisible monster that was killed by Wren before entering the valley. The strange man raised his claws and pounced on Rena, but at the critical moment, he was bombarded by the fat man.

"Get in the car." At this time, between the ruins and broken walls, more strange people appeared, and the fat man roared urgently.

Rena dodged into the chariot, but Heibei struggled to her feet, staring at a gate not far away with her cloudy eyes.

"Alpha, enter that door."

When Bluebell found Quinta and Rock Mountain, they were looking warily back to back at the low walls around them.

"Come with me!" Bluebell beckoned to the two of them on the wall, only to see them both aim their weapons at the same time and pull the trigger.

"Bang!" "Whoosh"

I saw limbs flying, and two corpses slid down the wall behind Bluebell. Seeing these two corpses, Blue Bell was in a cold sweat behind his back, he didn't expect this kind of weirdo to be behind him all the time.

"Let's go!" Bluebell jumped off the low wall and shouted at Quinta and Rock Mountain. In this perilous city, they must concentrate their forces as soon as possible.

The three of them galloped in the direction of the chariot, and in the process, Quinta and Iwayama kept pulling the trigger, and although they couldn't see the target, they could also form an effective deterrent.

Following the chariot's prints, the three Bluebells entered a gate. Crossing the gate, you will come to an empty circular field, surrounded by high stone platforms, arranged in a stepped pattern, like grandstands.

In the field, the chariot was quietly parked in the center, but no other figures were to be seen.

When the Bluebells approached the chariot, they found that the door was open, and it was covered with marks of sharp claws.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from all directions, and dense shadows appeared on the high platform. The weirdos sat on the high platform, staring at the center of the field with green eyes, and roared from their mouths.

"Who is it that dares to trespass on the territory of the Mistwalkers."

Following the prestige, in a particularly prominent position on the high platform, an extremely tall strange man sat upright. I saw that the strange man wore a golden crown on his head and held a black scepter, and the top of the scepter was also inlaid with a blue gem the size of a goose egg, which was dazzling.

Seeing the strange emperor, Bluebell felt a great temptation from the blue gem on the scepter.

"Where's my buddies?"

"You mean them?" With a wave of the Strange Emperor's scepter, a huge cage was pushed out of the high platform. Everyone was hanging inside, Wren was already unconscious, Black Bei was dying, Rena and Fat Man, although conscious, were gagged. But only the alpha was missing.
