There was no moon in the dark sky, only a dim starlight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The huge black shadow in the distance made people feel oppressive and dull, breathless. You know, this legendary city of the Black Dead is a huge nightmare for the inhabitants of the Angry Sea Sands. For thousands of years, no local has dared to set foot here.

At this moment, even the Katyusha City Lord showed timidity, whispering something in the local language, as if he was praying some kind of prayer.

The closer you get to the giant black shadow, the more humid the air becomes. When you step on the sand, there are often thick water stains coming out, indicating that the humidity here is already very high!

Gradually, there were many noticeable currents and ponds on the ground, as if suddenly entering a swamp.

Hu Kai knew that they were heading west, towards a high-altitude area. Although it doesn't feel obvious, the altitude is definitely much higher than before, and the temperature has dropped a lot. There was no wind, but the cold was so cold that even hoarfrost appeared on the gas masks.

The weeds, which were as black as ink, were also covered with dew, and when they walked through them, their clothes were all wet.

In this way, they walked for a long time through the weeds, and finally came to the huge black shadow, and everything in front of them was so dark that it was as if there was a huge black hole in front of them.

Hu Kai and the others were worried about any danger, so they didn't dare to light the torches, so they could only look hard ahead with their naked eyes. It was only after their eyes adjusted to the darkness that they could see what was happening in front of them.

Yes, this huge black shadow is indeed an unusually tall wall, but the outline of the wall is tortuous and irregular. It is evident that the wall is broken, a ruined wall.

In this case, this half of the city wall must be nearly ten meters high, which shows how majestic it would have been.

Looking at the gloomy city walls, everyone couldn't help but tremble.

It's so quiet all around, so quiet that it makes people feel hairy.

Hu Kai knew that if there were any small animals moving around, he could rest assured, at least prove that there was no danger here.

But now that everything is silent, it is often the deadliest. Perhaps, the air here is really full of some unknown toxin.

After seeing the city wall, Katyusha and the female knights were already extremely nervous, the cold here was overwhelming, but there were still beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down their cheeks.

Hu Kai touched the pistol in his right trouser pocket, and then touched his dagger, then made a gesture at everyone and walked towards the city wall.

There was nothing but dark weeds under the walls, and they had to go around the walls in search of gates or places that had collapsed badly.

Who knows, a few people have not walked a few steps, but suddenly heard the sound of the water. The sound of the water was so clear that it seemed to come from far away.

Hearing this voice, Hu Kai knew that they might be very close to the source of the river! As long as you find the source, you may be able to find the answer.

With this in mind, they continued along the walls towards the water. Unexpectedly, when they had not yet found the flow of water, they were the first to ask about a foul smell!

Even though they were all wearing gas masks, the stench still crept into everyone's nostrils, and it was impossible to prevent it.

Not good!

As soon as he smelled the stench, Hu Kai immediately became alert, and he hurriedly unloaded his backpack and took off a small cage from his cross-body pocket. Inside the cage was a small squirrel that was bouncing around.

This little squirrel was brought by Hu Kai for Katyusha, so that it could be used as an alarm. As soon as there is something wrong with the air around them, the little squirrel will advance the situation and alert people.

Fortunately, although the surrounding area is stinky, the little squirrel is still alive and vibrant, and there seems to be no problem.

Hu Kai and the others were a little relieved and continued to walk forward.

The sound of the water was getting louder and louder, but I didn't expect it to come from somewhere under my feet. The people searched the grass for a moment, but the ground beneath their feet suddenly broke a huge crack, and the sound of gurgling water came from under this crack.

Since the edges of the rift were covered with soft sand, the crowd did not dare to get too close, lest someone bring a piece of soil inside.

Hu Kai carefully turned on the flashlight function on his mobile phone and shone it under the crack, but he saw that at the bottom of the valley four or five meters deep, there was indeed a rapidly rushing river, but it was just ...... No matter how Hu Kai looks, the river water looks like black!

Not only that, but the disgusting stench also came from the valley floor, so it can be seen that there must be something wrong with the river below!

Hu Kai's brows furrowed, he thought, this is the source of the two mother rivers of the Great Rock Country, maybe the one under the valley is the source.

If this black water is really poisonous, then the fertility problem of Big Rock Country will undoubtedly be found. It's just speculation now, and more evidence has to be obtained.

A few people marched along the rift, but unexpectedly, the river actually flowed out of the Black Dead City. Beneath the city walls there was an unusually open waterway from which the black bubbling river flowed.

Although the waterway has been washed by the old years and flowing water, traces of artificial repair can still be seen. There is even an ancient wooden sluice gate that flows through the city walls.

As we got there, the stench grew stronger, and it was clear that it was coming from the water below. Indeed, the waters of the river were black and black like ink!

Seeing this, Katyusha seems to realize the stakes of the problem. There is obviously something wrong with these black waters, and if they are injected into the two mother rivers of Oiwa Province along the source, then the root knot of Oiwakuni women who can't give birth to children may be here!

Katyusha asked Hu Kai a few words, but because she was wearing a gas mask, it was very inconvenient to communicate. It was all stench, and they didn't dare to take off their masks.

Hu Kai could only make frequent gestures, which meant that everyone should hurry up and find a place to enter the city, these poisonous rivers obviously came from within the city!

If you want to know what's wrong with it, you can only get the answer by entering the black dead city in front of you.

Katyusha understood this, and immediately took her men on a detour and went in another direction along the city walls. This time, they didn't have long to walk, and they found a gap five or six meters high in a collapsed wall.

Because of the large number of rocks piled up under the city, they could climb it with their bare hands without the use of ropes.

At such a time, everyone could no longer care about any terrifying legends, so they used their hands and feet together and climbed along the broken wall! (To be continued.) )
