Chapter 5: The Abandoned City
readx;
With the overwhelming sound of birdsong, the originally vast sky became gray, and countless large and small gray birds occupied most of the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gray birds, big and small, scrambled to swoop down in the air, slamming their long, sharp beaks at the dead souls on the ground that had been blown into a pot of porridge.
Similar to when attacked by a school of gray monster fish, the outermost weak dead souls are the first to suffer.
Like the strange fish, these gray birds seem to be born as natural enemies of the dead souls, and the dead souls pecked by the beaks of the birds will instantly explode into a cloud of gray mist, or be absorbed by the gray birds, and will scatter around.
And the gray bird, which had absorbed the gray mist, chased the dead soul even harder as if it had been beaten with chicken blood.
And the countless dead souls who have been attacked have only one choice, and that is to flee deeper on the island.
Another life-and-death escape began.
At this time, Xintian had already mixed with the school of strange fish to a very deep position, and after the group of gray birds appeared, the group of strange fish retreated collectively as if they had tacit understanding, as if they had relayed the task of attacking the dead souls to the group of gray birds.
The attack range of the gray bird flock far exceeded that of the strange fish, and Xintian, who already felt that he was in a safe position, had no choice but to turn back to the appearance of a dead soul and rushed deeper into the island.
It's a veritable path to death.
In just ten minutes, there were countless dead souls around Xintian who were wiped out by the gray bird, and he also broke into a slightly safer area with extreme thrills, and brushed shoulders with death several times.
Just as Xintian had just breathed a sigh of relief, a huge hiss suddenly sounded in the sky.
Xintian's heart shook dramatically, and he couldn't help but look up.
At some point, a giant gray bird with a wingspan of about ten meters appeared in the air, and after this giant gray bird let out a loud hiss, the attack strength of all the other gray birds suddenly increased a lot.
The hell for the dead has truly begun.
In front of these mad gray birds, all the dead souls, no matter how big or small, have almost no ability to resist, the only difference is who is faster and who is stronger in the race against the Grim Reaper, in order to rush deeper into the island and squeeze into the innermost layer of the dead souls.
Xintian accurately sensed that the speed of the death of the dead souls around him had increased several times in vain, and his position was already extremely unsafe.
Moreover, with his current small physique, it is difficult to squeeze deeper into the island.
At this time, Xintian's heart suddenly overflowed with great unease.
Within the scope of his own consciousness monitoring, Xintian was shocked to find that the giant gray bird with a wingspan of ten meters actually flew towards him at a high speed, and the sharp beak of the sharp bird, which was more than a meter long, shot towards him like an arrow from the string.
At his current speed, it would be absolutely impossible to escape the attack of the giant gray bird.
Xintian didn't even have time to bring out the hair that Nalan Feixue had given him in the golden gourd, and the terrifying sharp beak of the giant gray bird had already pierced Xintian's round body.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work?" Xintian was sad in his heart, his journey to the Dead Soul Domain was indeed as Shinping said, it was almost a matter of ten deaths, and before he entered any city in the Dead Soul Domain, he had already faced a certain death situation several times.
It's just that...... It's really unwilling......
However, the waiting distraction did not happen.
Shin Nai innocently heard a painful hiss from the giant gray bird, and then found himself unharmed.
Moreover, his originally gray spherical body has now regained its original human appearance, and he is still wearing a pair of delicate gold armor.
It turned out that Nalan Feixue used the golden armor turned into golden leaves to automatically appear at a critical moment and helped himself withstand the fatal blow of the giant gray bird.
"What a magical armor! What a magical leaf!" Xintian, who was immortal in the catastrophe, breathed a long sigh of relief, and admired Nalan's flying snow ability even more.
Xintian was not even willing to hide this golden armor immediately, because Xintian really felt that after wearing this armor, his strength seemed to rise unlimitedly, and he could clearly sense that the gray birds around him were rushing away from him like a plague.
"It's better to keep a low profile," Xintian thought about it and reluctantly hid the golden armor and reshaped into a round spherical shape, "This is Meizu's territory, so it's better not to be ostentatious." β
After turning back into a stupid spherical dead soul, Xintian found that not only the gray birds around him, but even the giant gray bird that had just suffered a little loss did not trouble him anymore.
Xintian couldn't figure it out, so he simply kept squeezing into the depths of the island.
However, the scene of Xintian's golden armor repelling the giant gray bird has already been seen by people with different intentions.
"Golden Battle Spirit!" "Deeper on the island, which is also a higher place, Yu Gongzi and the Seven Elders exclaimed in almost unison.
"Looking at the original form he just appeared, it should be a human race. The Seventh Elder lowered his voice, "It seems that the Terrans also take this trial very seriously, and they even sent a Golden Battle Soul-level protector for the Children of Trials. β
"Hmph," Yu Gongzi let out a cold snort, "So what? The trial still has to be completed by oneself in the end, I don't believe that those sons of the human race's waste trials can do anything!"
"Well, the Terrans have always been pedantic," the Seventh Elder muttered, "If I don't come forward, that Golden Battle Spirit probably won't pull down his face to deal with you trial seeds, and those so-called seeds of the Terran are no match for Yu Gongzi at all." β
......
It wasn't just Yu Gongzi and the Seven Elders who saw this scene, the undercurrent of this Dead Soul Domain that seemed to be the Forbidden Land of Living Souls was surging.
Xintian himself didn't know anything about it, and almost exactly two hours later, Xintian had squeezed deep enough into the island.
"Qiangβ"
An ancient and vigorous voice sounded, as if a door was slowly opening.
Xintian couldn't help but extend his consciousness in the direction of the sound as much as possible, and found that in the extreme depths of the island, the faintly huge building actually appeared.
It turned out to be a row of huge city walls, and in the middle of the city walls, a huge gate was slowly opening.
Even though they were still far away, Xintian still felt an ancient and mysterious aura coming towards him, and under this breath, Xintian's heart shook violently, and the soul that had been fused with the Dead Soul Water was almost instantly peeled off.
Xintian was shocked, if his soul was really stripped out of the Dead Soul Water, not to mention his identity, he would be revealed immediately, and the soul exposed in the Dead Soul Domain would also be dissolved from a living soul into a dead soul in an instant, and then there would never be the slightest spiritual wisdom.
In desperation, Xintian could only use the golden armor again to temporarily stabilize his rapidly fluctuating soul, and at the same time, try to quickly fuse a drop of remaining dead soul water into his soul.
The soul that had already fused with one drop of Dead Soul Water was extremely fast when it fused the second drop of Dead Soul Water this time, and after only a few minutes, the second drop of Dead Soul Water was completely integrated into his soul.
After merging into this drop of dead soul water, Xintian carefully removed the golden armor, and was pleasantly surprised to find that although his soul was still fluctuating, the sense of crisis that was about to be stripped out at any moment was gone.
Xintian didn't incorporate the last two remaining drops of Dead Soul Water into his soul as well. The Dead Soul Water is very mysterious, and Xintian faintly feels that the remaining two drops of Dead Soul Water will be of great use.
By this time, the situation on the island had changed drastically again.
Contrary to Xintian's reaction, at the moment of the city gate, countless surviving souls seemed to have found a home, desperately rushing towards the huge city gate.
Many of the dead souls passed through the city gates without the slightest hindrance.
Unwilling to let the "food" disappear quickly, many gray birds also flew to the city gate like lightning, trying to hunt more dead souls.
The only exception is the giant gray bird.
After discovering that the city gate was opened, the giant gray bird did not advance but retreated, and even flew away from the city gate in a desperate direction.
Soon, the strange behavior of the giant gray bird was explained.
Many gray birds flying towards the city gate seemed to crash into a huge transparent cover, and fell down one after another nearly a hundred meters away from the city gate, and the gray birds that flew extremely fast were even directly knocked into a cloud of gray mist.
The big city, which does not refuse the coming of the dead souls, does not seem to be so friendly to these gray birds.
However, the phrase "people die for money, birds die for food" is still applicable in the Dead Soul Domain, even if the bloody lesson is ahead, more gray birds "do not believe in evil" and rush to the direction of the city gate even harder.
"Bang, bang......" The sound of the gray bird bursting into gray mist sounded continuously.
As if provoked, the gray city like a dormant giant beast suddenly attacked, and the invisible transparent cover that was originally only nearly a hundred meters away from the city wall expanded in vain, almost reaching a range of nearly a thousand meters, and actively crashed into the gray birds that kept flying.
The sound of "bang, bang" became denser and louder, and a large number of gray birds that were uncountable exploded into gray fog.
This situation lasted for almost ten minutes, and when the number of gray birds had plummeted by more than half, these sluggish and fearless gray birds gave up and continued to attack the gray city, and gradually dispersed.
At this time, nearly half of the surviving souls had entered the Gray City, and Xintian finally squeezed under the city gate.
After the fierce hunting of strange fish and gray birds, although the dead souls on this island were also more than half damaged, the huge gate of 30 meters wide and nearly 100 meters high was still crowded.
Xintian was able to take a closer look at the front at this time.
This is a huge gray city that is so huge that it is impossible to perceive the edge, and with the soul perception of Xintian, it can only perceive this huge city gate and the thick walls on both sides of the city gate that extend to infinity.
Xintian felt like an ant about to pass through the gate of the Giant Kingdom, and a heavy sense of oppression was overwhelming, and the huge and complicated strange characters above the city gate were especially oppressive to himself.
The strange thing is that although Xintian was sure that he had never seen this strange word, deep in his soul he instantly understood the meaning of this word.
If you understand it according to the Chinese characters in the earth's civilization, the word Huo Ran on the city gate is a "waste" character.
Xintian was a little puzzled, could this majestic and mysterious huge city turn out to be an abandoned city?
