The soft white clouds in the sky are extremely low, and standing on the ground seems to be able to pick up clouds and touch the blue sky with a raised hand.

Known as the first city on the border of the Shadow Domination Region, the Jade City of the Sand Sea is located on a plateau in the boundless sea of sand, backed by two majestic peaks that are unique in the desert.

On one of the majestic peaks hangs a waterfall, which is magnificent, like a silver dragon falling from the sky, and the water is abundant, gathering into a lake at the bottom of the mountain. The water of the lake is turquoise and flawless, like a divine jade inlaid in a sea of sand.

On both sides of the lake, there is dense vegetation that extends layer by layer.

The entire Jade City took this lake as the middle line and spread out in all directions, forming an oasis giant city with a radius of thousands of miles.

The closer you are to the lake below the peak, the better the tropical plants will grow, and the taller and stronger they will be. In this way, there is a spectacle to watch the Jade City from a distance.

The clusters of plants grew stronger and stronger the closer they got to the center of the city, and from far to near they were like stairs, ascending layer by layer, like heavy buildings layer after layer. Sure enough, it lives up to the name of the sand sea stacked green, beautiful, and wonderful.

Especially under the scorching sun, a waterfall falls, a rainbow hangs in the sky, the vegetation is swaying, and the water mist is steaming, like a dream.

Such a city stands on the boundless desert, and the visual impact under the sudden sight is straight into the hearts of the people, which will make people have the illusion of crossing the sand sea and coming to the fairyland of the world in a trance.

"This jade city in the sand sea is so beautiful, every time I come, I have to feel regret in my heart, this place was actually occupied by the Shadow Clan. It's a shame. ”

Everyone in the Nightcrawler team looked at the Jade City in the Sand Sea, and while their spirits were slightly shaken, they sighed softly.

They were already a thousand feet away from this jade city in the Sand Sea, which was originally a famous tourist city in the Five Directions Domain countless years ago, but now it has been invaded and ruled by the Shadow Clan.

Shansu, who was recruited into the team at the same time as Fang Di, is quite proficient in whiskers and horses. The way to observe words and colors. In recent days, he didn't need to be greeted by Luck, so he ran errands for Luck from time to time, not thinking that he was bitter but enjoying it, and he was faintly complacent that he had the toughest backer in the team.

At this time, Shansu leaned behind Luck with a flattering face, holding a large fan naturally formed from the branches and leaves of desert plants, and fanned Luck at the same time. He cautiously asked, "Deputy Leader, we are a smuggling team, can we directly enter the city under the rule of the Shadow Clan?"

Luck said expressionlessly: "All the smuggling teams from our Five Directions Domain have a corresponding relationship here, and keep the goods exchanged with each other, otherwise how do you think our things come here?"

He also said: "When we come to Jade City, naturally there are people who know in the city to come out to greet us, and there is no problem in entering the city." However, this jade city is ostensibly ruled by the generals under the command of the Shadows, but in fact, it is ruled by the Western God Sect in the city. If you enter the city and see someone preaching, remember to reply, 'God from the West'!"

Shansu made a clear expression and happily agreed.

Not long after, the group landed on the golden plateau outside the jade city and approached the city gate.

The gate of Jade City is very characteristic of a desert city, the city gate is tall and majestic, not to mention, there are rows of desert plants planted on both sides of the wide road in front of the city gate. The trunk is tall and straight. There are no forks in the middle, and dense foliage spreads out at the top. The canopy of trees shades the sky.

These desert giant trees generally look a little similar to the coconut trees on the earth, but they are dozens of times taller, and they are vigorous and rough.

There are also many colorful giant birds crouching on the trunks, like big roosters, which are not pretty. There is an emerald green crown on the top of his head, and his eyes are soft, and he is not afraid of people at all.

Leo posed as an old horse and explained, "This bird is called the Sand Pelican and has the ability to manipulate plants. It is a wood-based spirit animal. ”

While everyone was amazed, they were also looking at the city gate, but they saw that the traces of people entering and leaving were quite dense, and there was a lively scene in a row.

The Shadow Guards were all grim-faced, dressed in armor, with as many as 100 people, divided into two teams inside and outside the city, which was very strict, far more rigorous than the garrisons of some border cities in the Five Directions Domain.

Fortunately, the smuggling team is accustomed to walking on this route, and the relationship that should have been dredged up has long been cleared, and there is a relationship in the city corresponding to the night walker, so someone has already been sent to greet them at the city gate.

Therefore, after some delay, the team entered the city smoothly and did not encounter deliberate difficulties.

The Nightkin Receiver on the Jade City side is called Shearer, a short, but shrewd, delicate figure.

Walking into the city, most of the buildings that catch the eye are divided into two main colors, one is built of strange stone of golden color, which shines in the hot sun. The ground of the Jade City is paved with this kind of stone, which is known as the golden stone.

Another major building material in the city is green jade, which makes people feel refreshed at first sight. Due to the arid and hot desert land, this green jade material can naturally emit a moisture that is cool to the touch.

Therefore, green jade stone is especially expensive in the city, and non-luxury classes cannot own it.

The buildings in the whole city are composed of two main colors, golden and jade, with a warm and warm luster intertwined, worthy of the reputation of jade in the sand sea.

At this time, the Nightkin team entered the city under the leadership of Shearer, the connector here, and although the sights along the way were not as prosperous as some of the big cities in the Five Directions Domain, they were in normal order, and the intelligent beings of all races were walking around the streets, and there was no miserable situation that ordinary people in the Five Directions Domain imagined that once they were ruled by the Shadow Clan, they would be precarious and panicked.

The flow of people shuttles through the vast streets, and it is slightly strange that the streets with many pedestrians are quite quiet, without the slightest noise, and when some people shop in the shops on both sides of the street, they also deliberately lower their voices and speak quietly.

Among the various crowds in the city, priests wearing sacred robes can be seen walking from time to time.

Most of the people on the streets, young and old, would bow down and bow down when they saw these clergy, and their expressions were extremely reverent.

It seems that the area ruled by the shadows is indeed as the sect that Fang Di heard when he talked to Leo and Mu Cheng before, and the sect is prevalent.

It is precisely by relying on the indoctrination and guidance of these sects under the command of the Shadows, that the people in the regions ruled by the Shadows everywhere have been dominated in their minds. The ShadowClan is believed to be a Protoss sent to the world by the true gods, and countless people are proud to dedicate themselves to the ShadowClan. The faith is pious and fanatical.

Fang Di can be sure that these so-called clergy, the sects that are preaching their doctrines in the Shadow Domination Region, do not seem to have a unified affiliation, but in fact, the root cause must be from the power of the mothers!

If the Shadow Clan invades the visible matter and life, then the Mother Forces invade the spirit and soul of all beings. More thorough and more evil.

Fang Di silently analyzed in the process of moving forward, and the mother forces preached, preaching that there is only one true god in the world, and allowing countless people to believe in worship, maybe it is also related to the gathering of ethereal mental power and the gathering of divinity.

Their ultimate goal is nothing more than to summon the resurrection of the Divine Mother to the world.

The people of Fang Di's team were cautious in their words and deeds after entering the city, and no one spoke casually.

Hiller, who had come to greet them into the city. It was endless, but the voice was also quite low: "You don't need to be so nervous, in fact, the city in the area ruled by the shadow is very safe." Almost all the people in this city believe in the gods of the West, and there is no crime or other violation of the doctrine, and the city recently released a statistic that there has been no crime in the city for more than ten years. This is a miracle no matter how you say it."

Just as the whole procession was moving cautiously, they suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps in the street.

A figure ran wildly down the street. It was an emaciated young man with a little girl on his back, followed by a small group of elite soldiers under the command of Shadow.

Shearer, who led the crowd into the city, quietly explained: "Most of the people here believe in the gods of the West. But not everyone is convinced, and some people are reluctant to go to the Church every day for fear of losing their true nature. Others will try to resist and even attack the clergy. Anyone who did not believe in the doctrine was arrested and called a heretic. At least they were sentenced to hard labor, going to some stars to mine minerals, and at worst, they were killed on the spot, and I heard that even corpses had to be refined. The young man and the little girl in front of him were being hunted down, probably trying to escape from the city. It is a grave sin not to listen to the teachings of the Divine Church."

Before Shearer could finish speaking, the young man and little girl who were being hunted down the street had been chased by the Shadow Soldier.

Click!

The soldier who caught up with the young man was extremely ferocious, and without the slightest hesitation, he shot ruthlessly, and punched the young man in the forehead. The young man's skull shattered before he could say a word, and he died tragically in an instant. The little girl was only four or five years old, and immediately burst into tears, and a shadow soldier laughed fiercely, and took out a dagger and stabbed it into the little girl's mouth, stirring it up and down.

The girl was in pain, first fainted, and then woke up under the great pain, trembling and struggling all over, but unfortunately the soldier pinched her jaw fiercely, it was difficult to break free, after the tongue was crushed, the mouth was dripping with blood, and she couldn't make a sound, and her speech was slurred, but she cried more fiercely. The soldier was furious and gave a gentle push of the dagger. The whole piercing into the girl's mouth.

The girl whimpered a few times, her dark and agile eyes were full of tears, and she slowly died down.

Most of the surrounding pedestrians who saw this scene looked indifferent and indifferent like the walking dead. In the ranks of the Nightcrawlers, there are many people with angry eyes, and the cruelty of the soldiers under the command of this shadow has reached the level of extinction of humanity and outrageous.

Fang Di's face was calm and almost indifferent, it was not that he was indifferent, but that he had come here with a more important plan, to turn this place upside down, but at the moment, he couldn't act impulsively when he saw injustice, and ruined the plan he had planned for a long time.

At this time, the group of soldiers with the corpses of the little girl and the young man with a mouth full of blood glanced at the people on the street with a fierce face, and turned to leave.

Jiu Mulian looked at Hiller and sneered: "This is what you said about the excellent security in the city? There has been no crime for many years? The Shadow Clan is really mad, and even a little girl will not be spared." ”

Shearer was visibly startled, and said in a panic, "You're crazy to say such things in a city ruled by shadows. Let me tell you, this jade city is very evil, and they believe in the god of the West, who claims to be able to listen to the voices of everyone in the city and know the secrets of everyone's hearts. You all have to be careful when you speak, this place is not comparable to the Five Directions Domain, once you are targeted, you will be killed immediately. ”

Jiu Mulian snorted coldly, turned around and left first.

Soon after, the group entered a large jasper mansion, where Shearer's master lived.

In fact, Shearer's master is also a leader of smugglers in the Shadow Frontier region. If they smuggle goods from the Shadows to the Five Directions, they will be contacted by the Nightkin team, and the two sides are equal and reciprocal, and the status of the two is equal.

Jiu Mulian, Luck, Mu Cheng and others were welcomed into the main hall, and important people from each other came out to greet them and talk to each other.

Fang Di and other ordinary team members were arranged to rest in their residences.

It was nearly dusk when they entered the city, and it was already dark.

Just as night fell, a wisp of void qi floated out of the mansion, and the ghost unconsciously approached a huge temple in the center of the city.

That temple was the temple of the Lord of the West, which everyone in the city was to worship.

Legend has it that there is the true body of the god from the west, who knows everything and has boundless divine power.
