Volume 1 The Age of Chaos Chapter 16 The Town Without a Grave

Today was a cloudy day, with a thin layer of clouds covering the sky, and only a little sunlight could be seen.

Qi Wanli and Tian Yuanxing remained vigilant, and gradually walked into the confines of Tombless Town along the vaguely visible highway that had been twisted and crooked in the cataclysm many years ago.

Strictly speaking, there is no old town anymore, and most of the buildings that once existed have disappeared, leaving only mud and rocks and exposed steel bars. But in some places, there are still a small number of buildings left, and most of these buildings are low-rise small shopping malls and places such as train stations and bus stations. The once smooth and spacious asphalt road has long since split and moved, and bottomless ditches can be seen everywhere on the ground.

Soon, Qi Wanli saw the corpse that Tian Yuanxing said.

The corpses were scattered scattered throughout the town, some of them were very conspicuous, hanging from some ruined walls, while others were covered in grass and shrubs, and they had to be very careful not to step on them. Some of these corpses can still be seen as human bones, while others are so strange that it is impossible to distinguish the race.

But these corpses have one thing in common, that is, they can all bring Qi Wanli a sense of danger. Whenever he approached these bones or dried corpses, his heart was full of alarms, judging from the appearance alone, these were just dead corpses that had been withered for many years, but in this era of monsters and cultivators, anything could happen.

"I can't count how many there are, corpses can be seen everywhere, those strange shapes should be the corpses of monsters, each of them may be more powerful and terrifying than the mutated night demons, every bone and every inch of skin they leave behind can be made into a very good prop, no wonder there have always been scavengers risking their lives for decades. Tian Yuanxing sighed with emotion as he began to search for the whereabouts of the sword pigs.

Qi Wanli shook his head, no longer paying attention to these corpses, he found a relatively high position and climbed up, and quietly launched a request to the backup program of the dark element.

"Can you give me a thermal imaging view? It's too dangerous here, I don't want to spend too much time here looking for a bunch of sword pigs. ”

In the next second, Qi Wanli's right eye was covered with a layer of colorful images, everything he saw with his right eye became the thermal imaging field he had experienced, but his left eye was still a normal visual field, and the combination of the two allowed him to better search in this dangerous ruined town.

Qi Wanli nodded in his heart and began to look into the distance.

After a while, he noticed that in a fairly well-preserved mall about two kilometers away from him, there were obviously a large number of creatures moving, and judging by the thermographic silhouette, most of them were sword pigs.

Qi Wanli smiled, he quickly crawled back to the ground, found another place Tian Yuanxing, who was still searching like a headless fly, told him what he had found, and the two immediately ran in the direction of the small shopping mall.

However, just when they were still halfway to their destination, the early warning instinct in Qi Wanli's heart suddenly tensed, he frowned, stopped his steps, and grabbed Tian Yuanxing, who was still running forward.

Two seconds later, before Qi Wanli could explain anything to the puzzled Tian Yuanxing, there was a sudden explosion in the air, and then a corpse less than five meters in front of them exploded.

The two of them didn't see anything that might trigger it, and they couldn't even tell if it was a human corpse or a monster's corpse, but the corpse exploded like that, and what was even more strange was that the scene of the explosion was not some pus and blood splattering, bone ballast flying, nor was it a fire or a wave sweeping, but a large cloud of black smoke exploded on the corpse, and the smoke faintly formed the appearance of a wailing and screaming human face, crying and rapidly expanding.

In just an instant, this black mist on the human face swelled to a radius of three or four meters, Qi Wanli and Tian Yuanxing were startled and retreated quickly, no one knew what would happen if they were touched by this thing.

However, the smoke expanded too fast, and the two of them did not dare to stride back as fast as they could, considering that there were corpses all around them, and they were swallowed up by the black smoke after a thought.

The moment he was swallowed by the black mist, Qi Wanli immediately felt that his sense of the surrounding divine power was cut off, and those black mists were trying to get into his mouth, nose and even pores, fortunately, people who had cultivated to the second order of martial arts could already seal their pores freely, not to mention holding their breath, he hurriedly closed the communication between himself and the outside world, and no matter if there were other corpses or anything on the road, he turned around and strode up.

However, in the next second, the black mist turned into an entity, condensing a powerful vine, which entangled his limbs and torso, dragging him back, and at the same time, more black mist was still coming, while making a terrifying cry, while desperately trying to drill into Qi Wanli's body, no matter how he struggled, the power of the black mist was even greater.

At this moment, Qi Wanli's mind heard the electronic and mechanical voice of Dark Yuan who was calm and emotionless: "It's an illusion." ”

Qi Wanli was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stopped struggling, and then something strange happened, he could still feel those vines formed by the black mist pulling him, but even if he no longer struggled against it, he was not dragged backwards.

The black mist that was about to burrow into his body was also, in the moment when Qi Wanli was stunned, they rushed to burrow through his mouth and nose, causing him to have a feeling of rapid suffocation, but when he told himself that it was an illusion, he could breathe freely again, but the feeling of suffocation was still wrapped around his throat, making him unconsciously want to choke his throat.

"So, it's an illusion that makes me think I'm going to die, and then I'm going to die?"

Qi Wanli closed his eyes, stabilized his mind with a strong and firm mind, and repeatedly told himself that this was an illusion, and finally slowly got rid of that contradictory feeling.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Tian Yuanxing kneeling on the ground in pain, the fingers of his two hands were deeply buckled into the ground, he was holding his breath and his face was purple, the beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept dripping to the ground, and his two eyes were covered with bloodshots, which had reached the limit.

"Dark Yuan, what should I do!" Qi Wanli was shocked and hurriedly asked for help.

"Stun him. Dark Yuan replied emotionlessly.

Qi Wanli did not hesitate, the five fingers of his right hand were combined as a hand knife, and he slashed at the artery on the side of Tian Yuanxing's neck, temporarily cutting off the blood supply to his brain, making his eyes roll and faint to the ground, and then saw that his breathing gradually calmed down, and his face returned to blood.

"Lao Tian's muscles are really hard...... It makes my hands numb. Seeing that Tian Yuanxing returned to normal, Qi Wanli breathed a sigh of relief.

After being temporarily safe, Qi Wanli had palpitations and cautiously approached the corpse that had just "exploded", only to see that it was a skeleton that obviously belonged to a human being, but the lower half of the body had disappeared, only the upper body remained, and the bones of the owner of this corpse were eeriely black, when Qi Wanli approached, the skull turned slightly because of a coincidence or something, and the eye sockets of the two black holes were facing the direction of Qi Wanli.

Qi Wanli was startled, even though he had seen countless corpses when he was a policeman, he was still shocked by this scene, so he had to calm down, no longer look at this strange corpse, and go back to guard the unconscious Tian Yuanxing.

Through the thermal imaging vision, he could see that the sword pig herd was still walking leisurely around the shopping mall not far away, but he didn't dare to leave Tian Yuanxing alone, so he could only stay where he was.

After about ten minutes, Tian Yuanxing woke up leisurely.

"...... My neck hurts, what just happened?" Tian Yuanxing rubbed his neck and sat up, looking confused. After listening to Qi Wanli say what happened, he was also frightened, his eyes widened in fright, and he didn't know what to say, so he just pinched Qi Wanli's shoulder heavily and sighed: "Brother Qi, thank you for saving my life." ”

"This place is too evil to stay for long, let's hurry up and get rid of the sword pig and leave as soon as possible. Qi Wanli waved his hand, supported Tian Yuanxing, who was still a little dizzy with his head, and walked in the direction of the small shopping mall.

Hunting two sword pigs is just a very simple matter. Qi Wanli was not in the mood to try new equipment, he grabbed two sword pigs close to him, and before they could react, he bullied forward, and the spikes in the fist armor broke the skull of the sword pig like a tofu, and inserted them into their brains, punching one by one, and they died before they even tasted the pain.

The rest of the sword pig herd was frightened and dodged one after another, if it was normal, in this small space, the two would definitely try to hunt a few more before the sword pig herd rebelled angrily, but now where are they willing to stay even half a second longer, the two of them resisted a huge sword pig corpse and buried their heads in the direction of the outside of Tombless Town.

They just want to get out of here as fast as they can, get back to the tribe, and then have a full meal and a good night's sleep.

But things could not be as they wished, and just as they were about to leave the confines of Graveless Town, something changed again.

A wild laugh was heard not far away, and then two women rushed out of the corner of a bushy ruin a few hundred meters away.

The two women were dressed in leather armor of very similar styles and colors, and the woman running in front of her was draped in long black hair, and seemed to have some kind of magical ability to shrink the ground, and she didn't see how big a step she took, but she could step a distance of five or six meters with each step;

The two women had nervous and panicked expressions on their faces, and when they rushed out of the dozens of meters, they saw another person appear at the corner of the ruins, it was a man who was stronger and taller than Fang Bajiu, he was more than two meters tall, naked in the cold wind, and wore a black fanged mask with only eyes on his face. He let out a loud and wild laugh, and his shout could be heard hundreds of meters away: "Two little chicks! Don't run away! Honestly hand over your things, and sleep with Lao Tzu for a few nights, Lao Tzu will consider letting you live!"

When Tian Yuanxing saw the man, his face was shocked, and he whispered to Qi Wanli: "Oh no, that man is wearing a mask and does not reveal his identity, he is probably a scavenger!"
