Wang Qian and Zhang Zhang finally understood what I meant, and suddenly felt that the danger factor of this matter was much smaller, and they quieted down.

The three of them sat down and chatted calmly, got to know each other a little, and let go of their guard.

Unfortunately, the witches had just returned to the palace, and they would not come out again until the next night, and they would have a chance to follow them into the palace in the strange underground city, and if the heavens favored them, they might be able to find the eye. Of course, the premise is to ensure that you can survive.

I spent the whole day in the brothel, eating a large rat that had been dried into bacon by Wang Qian and Zhang Li, and then, in a nearby hunter's house, I found a spear to use as a weapon in hand-to-hand combat.

The next night soon came, and in the depths of the royal city, there was a roar, and it was the witches who had opened the gates of the royal palace, and then dispersed to patrol the perimeter of the royal palace.

Wang Qian and Zhang Zhang and Long Si had already hidden in advance in the houses on the streets where witches frequented, and when the loud noise of the witches breaking down the houses was getting closer and closer, I said to the two beside me, "You can only pray for me now." If I ever see you again alive, I'll find a way to take you out. ”

Wang Qian thought about it and said, "I'd better go with you, I can help a little bit." ”

I said bluntly, "You think too much! It's not that I underestimate you, with your current physical condition, it is a great miracle to be alive, if you are by my side, you will not be able to help me except become a burden. Alright, the witch is about to pass through here, so I'll go first. Wait for me in the old place, and if you don't come back for more than two days, ask for a blessing for yourselves. ”

With that, I slowly climbed down from the tiled house and lurked in the alleys on both sides of the street.

Although these witches have become brutal youkai, their sense of hearing and smell does not seem to be stronger than that of humans, except that their bodies have become stronger and deformed. When a witch crawled through the streets, my nimble figure shuttled through the night, like a ghost, completely unnoticed.

At this time, I finally saw the witch's face clearly with the help of night vision goggles. Indeed, these former humans have completely turned into bloodthirsty monsters. Originally, as women, they were supposed to have delicate skin and delicate facial features, but now, they are like demonic beasts from hell, with thick limbs, sharp claws of beasts, and layers of black wrinkled skin that cover their noses and mouths, leaving only a pair of eyes. And these eyes do not have black eyes, but pure white eyeballs with a little red, like a small pinch of fire in the dark night.

But I can't be afraid, at least I have to pretend not to.

The witch wandered around the city for about an hour, tearing through the windows and walls of the hut with her mighty claws to see what was going on. After that, the witches returned to enter the palace one after another.

Surprisingly, it didn't occur to me that entering the palace required passing through a ten-meter-high palace gate, and that the witches would close the door once they had all returned to the palace. I didn't have a rope on me that could climb the wall more than ten meters high, and I couldn't push open the huge palace gate by myself. So, you have to find a way to enter the palace before the witch closes the door.

I hid in the dark, and when I saw that the last two witches had crawled to the inside of the gate and began to close it, I hid behind a house and shouted, "Youkai! Come to me! Then, he deliberately made a noise to attract attention.

I was actually so nervous that this act would undoubtedly lead to burning. But this is the only way to bring the witches into the city, and then for the driver to sneak into the palace before they find themselves.

However, it is very practical. Generally speaking, once the person mutates, especially becomes different, because the nerves are corrupted by other substances, its IQ will be reduced, and it will become a simple animal. When he heard the shouting of creatures in the city, he suddenly rushed towards the place where the sound came from like an angry orangutan.

By the time the witch had reached the place where the noise had been made, I had already run to the other side, and under the cover of buildings and ruins, I had come to the gates of the palace. Turning to look, he saw that the witch had not yet realized that she had fallen into the trap, and was still searching around the city for his traces, so he quickly slipped into the palace.

But this was only the first step, and once in the palace, I had to hide and wait for the witches to return, track them to their nests, and find out what secrets they were hiding in the palace.

The witches were tricked again and again, and without knowing it, they led me to the entrance to the basement, which was located just a wall away from the main hall of the palace. Entering the palace, the witches relaxed their guard even more, and eleven witches lined up in a row and went down to the basement, not even closing the door to enter the basement...... In fact, there was no door in the basement at all, and one of the original doors had been smashed to pieces with a blunt object.

And right by the door, the skeleton of a modern man lay on the ground, holding a rusty shovel in his hand and carrying a cloth bag full of gold and silver jewelry.

It is clear that this man had discovered this basement, but died tragically at the entrance. This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for me, and there is a danger that people will never return.

"But is there a choice?"

I asked myself in my heart, and I didn't hesitate to dive down the stone steps of the basement into the basement.

When I got to the basement, the ground was thick with dust, and following the footsteps of the group of witches, walking through a tunnel of tens of meters, I saw a pool of black water in front of me. The pool is rectangular and stands right in the middle of the road, and it is impossible to move forward without crossing it. However, beneath the seemingly calm pool, something was clearly swimming and bubbling. This is especially like the "dark water" that my grandfather said, it will devour the body of all living beings and trap the soul in the water.

Witches are demons, so they can walk safely through the pool, but I am human and have to be cautious.

I grabbed a handful of dust from the ground and sprinkled it in the pool to see what was going on...... As soon as the dust fell to the surface of the water, more than a dozen skulls wrapped in black water immediately surged up from the bottom of the water, and the skeletons all opened their mouths to devour the dust that was mistaken for living beings. Moreover, they seem to consciously see a person standing at the water's edge, and suddenly, like a school of barracudas, swim towards the shore.

I was startled and quickly took a few steps back.

In fact, these skeletons could only stay in the water and could not get ashore, and after a while, realizing that the people on the shore would not enter the water, they sank to the bottom again. The surface of the water is calm again.

What should I do to get there? Naturally, it is not possible to walk over. Suddenly, I realized that I could try this iron gun in my hand, and as long as the water was shallow enough, I could jump over the pool of about four meters like an athlete.

After trying to test the depth of the water, I am still a little confident, after all, I am agile enough, and I have many years of experience in surviving in the wilderness, and I am familiar with the method of pole vaulting. I took a few steps back, took the iron gun and started running, then a long spear was plunged into the water, catapulting the whole person into the air, avoiding the water...... However, the space in this basement is limited, and the spear cannot hold much high, and when it falls, it will also fall into the water of about three meters.

This frightened me out of the water, and I ran and crawled out of the water. When I got to the shore and looked back, dozens of skulls rushed to the surface of the water and chased them under my heels.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in my heart, thinking, "It's good that Lao Tzu is fast, otherwise, I am afraid that I will also become a skeleton in this water." ”

After a pause, I continued on my way. After walking for less than two minutes, a huge open-air pit suddenly appeared in front of me.

"I see!" I suddenly understood why there were so many insects and animals in the royal city. In fact, the road leading to the royal city actually has such a large open-air pit. Perhaps, the truth is not as Wang Qian and Zhang Li said, Wang Cheng can only enter but not exit, but they have not found a real exit.

At this time, it was night, and the moonlight was shining directly from the top of the head to the bottom of the sinkhole, and everything could be seen.

However, this is not a surprise, in the center of the sinkhole, there is a wooden coffin, the wooden coffin is opened, the coffin lid is hovering directly above the coffin, and the witches are sitting cross-legged on the stone bench around the coffin, hanging their heads and silently chanting something. Then, wisps of moonlight peeled off the air and flowed into the wooden coffin.

Meticulously carved and designed by hand, the sinkhole is a circular sinkhole with nine marble pavilions connected by a cloister and surrounded by a wooden coffin. At this time, I hid behind the stone pillar and thought, and I already thought in my heart that before the witch turned into a monster, it was the emperor of the Owl Guardian Kingdom, and now I am afraid that it is also. However, this coffin is probably the dead emperor, and what the wizard wants to do is to resurrect this emperor, as for what the resurrected emperor will look like, it is unsettling to think about it.

I looked around me, and it seemed that there was no so-called divine eye, and I felt a sense of loss in my heart, and decided to turn around and leave quietly, so as not to suffer a senseless sacrifice.

However, my every move in the royal city had long been noticed by the undead, and just as I was about to leave, the man in the coffin spoke: "Since you are here, why rush to leave? ”
