Chapter Twenty-Six: The City of the Dead

"I ...... I won't be afraid of you!" Little Bena screamed, her silver spear still aimed at Imo, her little face calm.

But the slightly trembling voice still exposed the fear in her heart.

"Welcome to Hamna Tower!"

Imo ignored the fact that little Bena was teething helplessly there like a little tigress, as if he had not seen the shining silver spear in her hand at all, but suddenly bowed his waist and said very gracefully, as if the hospitable host had brought his honored guest home.

"You...... What the hell are you trying to do?"

Little Bena froze for a moment, as if she didn't expect him to react like this, and she couldn't figure out the other party's intentions for a while.

Imo smiled and didn't say anything, just turned to the ruined ruin, and waved his hand. Suddenly, there was a "whew", and a black gas came out of his hand, obviously hitting the air, but it rippled as if the water vapor had touched a stone wall. The next moment, a crack like a vertical eye suddenly appeared in the air.

The crack gradually widened, like a prelude that was being opened.

Then, the bald-headed priest just looked at the crack silently, motionless, and even the little Bena behind him seemed to be slowly retreating.

"It's now!"

Little Bena took a few steps back, and when she saw that Imo was still not moving, she seemed to forget about herself, so she suddenly rolled her eyes, turned around and ran away. Although her realm was not high, when she was running, the silver spear in her hand suddenly emitted a misty light that wrapped her whole person, and her speed suddenly increased greatly, far better than usual.

However, before she could run far, suddenly a gust of wind blew behind her, and Little Bena suddenly screamed, and then was picked up by a big hand made of yellow sand. Caught it like a chick.

"Ahh

Little Bena kept struggling, the silver spear in her hand danced in an orderly manner, poking the big hand on her waist again and again, but unfortunately no matter how she poked, the big hand just didn't move.

"Be quiet. Little girl!"

Imo's voice sounded in his ears, and little Bena was stunned, then suddenly quieted down, and then looked fixedly at the scene in front of him.

I saw that the crack was completely open at this time, and when I looked inside through the crack, I saw another world.

I saw an endless valley appear in front of me, surrounded by mountains on all sides, towering into the clouds, and a verdant green in the middle. It was lush and green, and it was a forest.

The trees are so tall that they almost want to obscure the sky, and through the gap in the forest, you can also see the outline of the distant city wall, which is a city.

And in the middle of the city, a huge pyramid towered in the middle, a hundred feet high. Even if it's just from a distance. You can also feel the sense of desolation and solemnity that comes to your face.

At the top of the pyramid, there is also a huge deep purple gemstone.

Weirdly. Although the valley was bright, there was no sun in the sky, and the only source of light was the deep purple gem. The light emitted by the gemstone illuminates the entire valley like a jungle at dusk. Silence as death.

"Welcome to Hamna Tower!"

Imo said the words again, and before she could speak, she suddenly turned into a puff of wind and sand, and flew into the chasm, towards the pyramid in the center of the forest.

Behind him. The chasm was slowly closing. Finally, as the light dimmed, it was finally completely closed, like a door, separating the two worlds.

Seeing the sword-like treetops flying underneath her feet, Little Berna's heart was completely replaced by shock.

She had imagined countless times in her heart what the destination of her trip would look like, the legendary capital of the dead, Hamnata, but she never imagined that when she actually set foot in ...... Oh, to be precise, it should be in...... When I really entered this legendary city, I would see such a scene in such a way.

Zeng Yun in the book: One sand and one world, one leaf and one Bodhi, Xiao Bena has never understood what it means, but now, she seems to understand a little.

I never dreamed that in that uninhabited desert, there would be such a hidden world.

It's beyond the limits of imagination.

Imo didn't fly fast, but he was firm and steady, as if with the majesty of the king's return. Suddenly, an earth-shattering cry came from under her feet, waking little Bena from her shock.

"Imo!"

"Imo!"

"Imo!"

The screams were so loud that they pierced through the air and cracked the clouds, and little Bena looked down and almost couldn't hold back her screams.

I saw that after crossing the embrace of the forest, a huge city appeared under his feet, the thick city wall was more than ten zhang high, and the mottled traces on the wall witnessed the vicissitudes of the past, ancient, but gave people an indestructible feeling.

However, the focus of her exclamation was not the city, but the people in it.

No, to be precise, they used to be people. Only now, they're all monsters—undead monsters.

This is the capital of the dead in the true sense of the word!Little Bella gasped.

As far as the eye can see, there are ragged skeletons, dried corpses, mummies wrapped in white strips of cloth, and rows of sphinxes that look like guards stand on both sides of the city streets. In mid-air, there are many unidentified creatures flying with only skeletons all over their bodies, and judging from their size, it can be seen that they were all birds similar to the Cangyun Eagle when they were alive.

The so-called don't know the true face of Lushan, only because he is in this mountain.

Little Bena couldn't see clearly in the yellow sand, but if you looked at it from the outside, you could clearly see that Imo was flying in the air at this time, and the yellow sand he turned into was the image of a huge skeleton.

Wherever the skeleton passed, the cries thundered.

Imo!

Imo!

Imo!

One after another, wave after wave, as if the most devout believers were greeting the gods in their hearts, the shock in Little Bena's heart rose to an unprecedented height again. However, before he could see the full extent of the city, the wind and sand had already reached the front of the pyramid and flew into a swarthy hole.

Suddenly, it was dark in front of her, and when the light appeared again, little Bena found that she had come to a very high place. A beam of purple light was projected overhead, and in front of him was a smooth mirror-like stone wall, obliquely downward, and the city he had just seen was under his feet.

Only then did I know that I had reached the top of the pyramid.

"You scoundrel!"

Little Bena watched vigilantly at the immortal sacrifice Imo who had turned into a human form again in front of her. The silver spear in his hand was also clenched, "You...... What the hell are you trying to do with me?!"

Imo didn't say a word, just looked at her words, and suddenly stepped aside, disappeared into the darkness, and didn't know where to go.

The shouting from outside ceased when Imo returned to the pyramid, a pyramid in Notda. It turned silent, as if the whole world had become audible and deadly.

"Plop Plop" ......

Hearing her own heartbeat clearly, little Bena shrank in place, suddenly feeling a wave of fear for no reason.

It is said that setbacks make people grow, Xiao Beina has seen her father and mother die in front of her, and she has also experienced the kind of war in which the two armies of Datang and Wolf Tooth fought in the sky and corpses, and her will has already been exercised far stronger than that of ordinary peers countless times.

But no matter how strong. After all, she was just a teenage girl.

At this time, the dead silence environment is extremely panicking.

Flustered. Disorienting.

Slowly, she began to think of Oba who died in front of her and was sucked alive, and she thought of the almost endless army of undead creatures she had just seen, and she didn't know if she would be able to go back alive from this place where she was captured by this monster that would turn into sand, and she didn't know if she would be sucked dry by that monster one day......

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her mouth flattened. I panicked, and I almost couldn't help crying.

Suddenly, a smiling face flew in my mind, and there was a smile on that face all the time, a little fresh, and a little delicate. It seems to be very easy-going and kind.

Nangong.

In this pyramid that was so quiet that she could only hear her own heartbeat, Xiao Beina suddenly thought of Nangong. Then, a surge of courage suddenly welled up in her heart.

She comforted herself silently, trying to calm herself: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Brother Nangong will definitely come back to save me...... Brother Nangong will definitely come back to save my ......"

She silently recited Nangong's name over and over again, but as if she had recited a mantra, the sound of her heartbeat began to gradually fade away from her ears, and she suddenly calmed down a lot.

I don't know how long it took, but Imo still didn't appear, and there was still no sound around him, as if he was the only one left in the whole world, and he seemed extremely lonely and lonely.

But that's fine, at least not against the man-eating monster.

At least......

Don't worry about dying yourself...... Well, albeit temporarily.

So Xiao Bena slowly relaxed her vigilance, thinking to herself that the monster wouldn't kill herself for the time being anyway, so why not take this opportunity to explore the environment here? When Brother Nangong came to save herself, she would have a good response, so that the blind man would not touch the elephant...... And Brother Nangong doesn't often say, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win all battles! Well, that's it!

Having made up her mind, she began to carefully unleash her magic, wanting to use a mind scan to explore the pyramid.

As soon as the tentacles of the mind left the body, it seemed to have been rebounded, and it retracted like lightning, and Little Bena suddenly snorted.

Fortunately, the strength is not great, otherwise it will be counterattacked.

It seems that this pyramid has been enchanted by someone, and the mind scanning is completely useless, so little Bena put away the magic and didn't dare to mess around again.

I can't see it with my heart's eyes, but I still have my naked eyes, but when little Bena glanced at the direction Imo had left, she suddenly thought of the monster's previous ferocity, so she quietly retracted her steps.

It's horrible!

So he turned to look behind him, and looked through the hole in the pyramid, which I don't know if it was a window or a crack, to the city I had seen when I came.

Who knew that when they looked at it, they only saw a dead city.

The so-called dead city is an empty city.

The thousands of undead monsters I saw just now didn't even know where they had gone, as if they had never appeared. As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but a pale yellow, that is, full of emerald green.

The city is still the same city, but after watching it for a long time, after the novelty, it is only boring after all.

It's not that I didn't want to take the opportunity to escape, but what if ......

What if those monsters don't disappear, but hide? There are so many of them...... His small body is not enough for people to stuff their teeth!

After a cold war, little Bena gave up on the idea.

Gradually, suddenly sleepiness hit, she yawned, and fell asleep on the ground, a crystal water flowing down the corners of her mouth, and she looked cute and sleepy.

......

I don't know how long I slept, but little Bena slowly woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she was still seeing the unchanging purple light shooting from the top of her head. The silence around me is as quiet as ever, and I can't help but have the illusion that I have never slept or not.

She slapped her cheek to sober herself up, then summoned up her courage and shouted at Imo as she left, "Hey, hey, where are you?"

"Hey...... Feed...... Feed...... You...... Are you there...... At...... Is it ...... Is it ...... Is it ...... ......"

His voice echoed in the pyramid, and he did not hear the expected answer for a long time.

"Hey, I said who's that...... Imo, are you there? Did you hear me?"

Little Bena touched her belly, and seeing that Imo still didn't respond, she suddenly got angry, and she didn't know where she got the courage, she directly puffed out her cheeks and shouted, and her little face was red.

"I know you're there, I know you heard! You listen to me...... Even if you are a captive, you must be treated like a captive! Now, I want to tell you, my aunt and grandmother...... I'm hungry!"

"I want to eat meat!"

Meat Meat Meat ......

The word "meat" floated in the pyramid for a long time, and finally it was responded to with the word "none...... That is, there is no response.

Wow ......

Little Bena finally couldn't help it, took the little lotus step, and walked angrily in the direction of Imo's departure in her memory, where is there a trace of consciousness as a prisoner?

As she walked, she realized that although it was only the top of the pyramid, it was actually surprisingly wide, and the place where she was before could not be regarded as a real point, but a second level.

Feeling the faint purple light, he walked for a while, and suddenly saw a stone staircase, and little Bena didn't think about it, and walked up the stairs, out of the stairs, and then a shiny bald head came into view, it was Imo.

This is the real top floor.

A stone chamber several feet square, so close to the huge purple gem overhead, that it was almost within reach. And Imo, who was facing little Bena, was half-kneeling under the jewel, her upper body almost lying on top of the sarcophagus, muttering to herself.

And he knelt there quietly.

Little Bena didn't know how long she had been asleep, and she didn't know how long the bald head had been kneeling.

Treasure-colored purple light flowed through his eyes, reflecting a deep tenderness. (To be continued.) )
