Chapter 324: Demon Seal
The Peace City of the Spirit Clan looks like a dead city from afar!
The city is surrounded by greenery, red flowers and grass, but the vegetation in the city is either no leaves or the leaves are yellow, as if it is going through a harsh winter
For the sake of insurance, Li Xu decided to go with Lin Man to explore first.
"I'll go too, and if there's any danger, I'll help you get out." Ice Heart said.
"Take me with you, too, I'm the fastest, and if you can't beat it, you can leave quickly." Bingwan pleaded.
"No, we were attacked by the Ice and Snow Legion to become what we are now, you can't clear your suspicion yet, I can't let you get close to my home again." Lin Man shook his head.
"You're unreasonable, it's okay with us." Midori pouted.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with the princess and take a look, you can wait here for a while." Li Xu hurriedly played a round.
"So let's do it first." The three beauties nodded helplessly.
Looking at their eyes, they were extremely aggrieved, and they didn't seem to believe that the Ice and Snow Legion would do such a thing.
"My people are already densely packed in the woods around the city, as long as you dare to move, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand." Lin Man warned coldly, turned and walked towards the cliff in the distance
Li Xu shrugged, followed behind his slender and graceful body, and quickly rushed towards the waterfall.
The sound of rumbling water splashes everywhere, and a wide stone staircase is built in the gentle slope on the side of the waterfall.
Ding System: Congratulations to the players who have gone against their fate, you have successfully discovered [Peace City], the city is an advanced peace map, and new information has been loaded into the map system!
A system prompt appeared, and Li Xu's mini-map was immediately replaced with the outline of the city wall of Peace City.
At present, he has only come to the vicinity of the city, and only when he enters the city can he open the topographical map of the city.
The two cautiously rushed up the stone steps and approached the cliff.
The sound of a huge waterfall sounded like thunder, but after walking up the cliff and approaching the city, the loud sound suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings were very quiet.
"Follow me, be safe." Lin Man whispered, her body already leaning against the cyan stone wall.
Li Xu hurriedly rushed over and stood next to her side by side.
Watching Lin Man move forward along the stone wall on the right, the two moved forward silently, and Li Xu hurried to follow.
The two of them continued to move forward along the long stone wall, until they rushed through the city tower of hundreds of meters, and a corner appeared in front of them, and the two quickly turned the corner of the city wall, and a wide glade appeared in front of them.
"There are two gates in Peace City, this is one of them, I'll go to the front first, you wait for me here for a while." Lin Man said.
"Okay, be careful." Li Xu nodded and stayed not far away.
Watching the slender figure move quickly along the stone wall, it was already getting farther and farther away
Soon, Lin Man stopped in the distance, and looked inside, but in two seconds, the beautiful elf turned around and returned quickly.
"Dear benefactor, the city gate has been sealed, and we can't enter." Lin Man said.
"What then?" Li Xu looked up at the top of his head in surprise, the city gate could not enter, and he could only climb over the city wall.
Fortunately, the city tower is more than five meters high, which is not a big deal for him.
"I'll take you over the walls and jump on my back." Lin Man suddenly turned around, and the slender back wrapped in leather armor was facing the man with dull eyes.
"Oh, okay." Li Xu touched his head, climbed up to the elf's back with some embarrassment, and wrapped his hands tightly around her slender neck.
"You're holding tight, I'm going to jump on it." Lin Manyu's face flushed, and she whispered in her mouth.
Holding the back of the elf princess, I only felt a burst of fragrance constantly coming to my face, especially her perfect figure, which almost made Li Xu drunk.
Swish!
The sound of the wind in his ears swept by, and Li Xu felt his body rise into the air, Lin Man was already like a dexterous ape, and his toes just lightly touched the city wall, and then he rushed towards the top of the stone wall.
As soon as the light and shadow flashed, the two came to the city tower
Lin Man crouched in the middle of the city tower, and Li Xu also quickly got off her back, squatting there and quietly listening to the movements around her.
But the situation inside the city was beyond the expectations of the two, it was a deathly silence, as if it were an empty city, without any enemies.
Li Xu had the courage to quietly move to the edge of the city wall, and secretly poked his head out to look at the city of peace
At a glance, the entire city seems to be surrounded by walls, and there are no buildings in the city, and there are no enemies.
But the city was covered with bare trees, withered vines, and countless flowers and plants that had no branches or leaves.
There is also a blue river that runs across the city from the center of the city to the lookout tree in front of the waterfall
But the only thing that made Li Xu puzzled was that in the far center of the city, there was a circle of white guardrails, and there seemed to be a blue pond in the middle
Under the sun, a thick layer of black smoke floated over this pond, which looked very strange.
"That's the Spirit Clan's Holy Altar, but now that it's completely demonized, Grandpa Tsubaki doesn't know where to hide." Lin Man bent over and stood beside Li Xu and explained softly.
"By demonization, do you mean the altar shrouded in black smoke?" Li Xu asked in surprise.
"Yes, the water source of the altar is the source of spiritual power for the people of the Spirit Race, and only by relying on the nourishment of the Holy Altar can the people of the Spirit Race maintain their own growth, and now that the altar is destroyed, it will become what it is now." Lin Man said.
"What about the buildings in the city?" Li Xu asked suspiciously.
"There are no buildings in Heping City, all the halls and houses are all changed from the ontology of the Spirit Clan, and they are so difficult to protect themselves, so there is nothing in the city." Lin Man shook his head and said.
"So that's what happened, since there is no enemy here, let's go around the city and see if there are any clues." Li Xu said.
"I can't go near the demonized altar anymore, then I'm afraid I'll lose my nature again and do dangerous things to you when the time comes." Lin Man said embarrassedly.
"Alright then, you stay here." Li Xu said helplessly.
Looking at the empty city of peace, he immediately went into action
Finding the location of the stairs, he quickly rushed over and down the stairs.
Under Lin Man's nervous gaze, Li Xu began to explore the City of Peace and quickly slipped into the city
Looking at the flowers and trees around him, one by one the branches were dry and seemed to have completely lost their vitality, he checked the attributes of these flowers and trees nearby, and when he saw it, his heart was suddenly surprised
Spirits: Elder Rose [Commander NPC]
Grade: 80
Attribute:???
Sealed state!
Spirit Clan: Peony Elder [Commander NPC]
Grade: 80
Attribute:???
Sealed state!
After checking countless vegetation in a row, the attribute introduction that popped up in the system made Li Xu feel shocked.
These seemingly inconspicuous flowers and plants in the city are actually high-level NPCs of the Spirit Clan, and each of them has been given the name of an elder.
Not only are they sealed, but their health bars, which are only in the last 1% at this time, seem to be completely hung up if they are given a sword.
However, they all now belong to the green names of the mission NPCs, and unless Li Xu is a player from a different faction, he cannot attack them.
Looking at the huge amount of withered yellow vegetation in the entire city, Li Xu understood that this task was very heavy, and the rewards would be extremely rich.
He walked along the wide roads of Peace City, checking all the way, but until he was close to the center of the city, no enemy attacked him.
Li Xu looked at the emptiness around him, and he didn't seem to be able to find useful clues, so he simply called up the map system and displayed the large map of the city in front of him.
As the map interface opened, a huge city plan appeared, just like he had seen now, and there were no buildings on the city's plan.
There are small dark yellow dots here and there, marking the locations of the dying NPCs.
Suddenly, Li Xu felt a light in front of him, and he found a unique green dot in the large yellow dots!
Could this be the secret of Peace City?
And the location of this little green dot turned out to be in the middle of the pond at the altar in the center of the city
Isn't it, there are still living NPCs in the altar shrouded in black smoke?
Li Xu suddenly thought of something in his heart
Lin Man said that according to the current situation, the patriarch of the spirit clan and the patriarch of the tree elf should still be alive, so which NPC marked with a green dot will be?
This guy is 100% the patriarch of the Spirit Clan
Li Xu came up with an answer in an instant, and strode towards the distant center of the city, quickly approaching the white guardrail
An octagonal fence of white stone pillars encloses a turquoise pond, and black smoke billows above the pond, which looks extremely terrifying.
As soon as Li Xu rushed to the guardrail, the black smoke quickly rolled up, and black smoke balls rushed in front of him like cannonballs
bite
I'm going to it, this can also attack?
He didn't dare to fight head-on, no matter how he said that this was also an advanced map of level 80, and the monster's attack was not something that he, a 30+ player, could resist.
Seeing the black smoke ball rushing from afar, Li Xu was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, only to see the smoke ball hit the position where he was standing just now, and there was a loud bang on the ground, and a small pit appeared instantly.
It's too fierce to be desperate.
Li Xu stood ten meters away from the altar, looking at the churning black smoke in disbelief, and lost his mind for a while.
In the system prompt bar, the prompt message that just popped up made him even more speechless
System: Warning! Players are fighting against fate, you have triggered the [Demon Seal], and you are about to encounter the counterattack of the seal!
It turned out that this cloud of black smoke was actually just a seal, not a monster.
But how can you get close?
Looking at the location of the green dot on the map, it was under the pond shrouded in black smoke, which made Li Xu speechless
He had already experienced the attack power of the demon seal just now, and if he was Bingwan or Xiao Lu, he couldn't resist such a strong attack, and Lin Man couldn't get close to this black smoke, which was really a headache.
The only way now is to let Ice Heart help try.
The difficulty of the task set by the system may be difficult for other players to reach the sky, but for Li Xu, the resources in his hand seem to be enough to deal with some unexpected situations
