Chapter 1637: Reluctance

The city is big, but it just lacks life because there are so few people.

The ancient city is majestic, although some are dilapidated, but it still does not lose its majestic momentum, but unfortunately, only some women and children are left, some sick and disabled people are guarding here, the city is too big, and there are too few people.

"This is the king's dwelling place. ”

The one-armed old man led Shi Hao to a low mountain, in the middle of the city, but the foot of the mountain was overgrown with artemisia grass, and the place was quiet and silent.

On the mountain, there are dried up black blood stains, which are dry and lifeless.

There is only one king left, but what is happening now, and is he really alive?

Unless it is a matter of life and death, the last of the Seven Kings rarely makes a move, because it is very difficult to maintain the lonely city, only if he is still alive, this city will not fall, and he can borrow the power of the abyss!

"See the king!" the one-armed old man, with reverence and reverence, bowed here to the low mountain.

"Shi Hao has seen Gu Zu!" Shi Hao is also very serious, giving a salute here, with a look of respect.

In any case, the Seven Kings are heroic and respectable, leading their respective clansmen to fight here, never retreating, rejecting the enemy's borders, and guarding the nine heavens and ten earths with blood and life.

I can't forget the scene I saw on the altar of the black ancient ship, the seven kings roaring, fighting the heavens and the earth, leading their clansmen, including women and children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, to fight the enemy to the end.

The corpses fell one after another, the blood-stained ancient city, and the merits covered the world, but no one in the outside world knew about it, and the years buried their merits and fame.

Suddenly, the low mountain glowed, very soft, and very quiet, spreading outward.

"I know what you want, take those kids. "These are the words to the one-armed old man, there is no coercion, there is no energy fluctuation, everything is so calm.

But. Shi Hao felt a magnificent and righteous momentum, not oppressive, but absolutely majestic, inviolable, and upright.

The one-armed old man's eyes immediately turned sour, and muddy tears rolled down, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Wang!"

"It's useless for me to wait, and I'm suffering for the child. The last of the Seven Kings said. Sighing softly, it was very gloomy, like a withered yellow leaf falling.

Subsequently, the light of the low mountain was restrained, but the last sentence came out, which was said to Shi Hao, only two words, "Alive!"

This is an admonition, or a warning. Or did you foresee something?

With just these two words, Shi Hao had a hunch that this was the eve of a storm, and a big wave was about to start! There are mountains of bones, and many people may die!

There was only one person left among the seven kings, and he was very depressed, as if he was not optimistic about the side of the Nine Heavens. Is this a mention of Shi Hao, survival is the most important thing!

It had been a long time since he left this low mountain, and the one-armed old man did not say anything. A person is distracted, and his gaze is a little glazed.

He knew that the last king, deep in his heart, was endless tiredness and sadness, and the battle was eternal, and the war spirit was exhausted, and the blood and soul would eventually return to the loess.

In the city, the children are very dull, don't like to talk, and they are quiet one by one, even if they see Shi Hao for the first time, they are just silently watching.

This is caused by the depression caused by the great war, there is no laughter and laughter in the city on weekdays, they have no childhood, no immaturity, no happiness, some are just struggling to survive and defend the city.

Most of these children have lost their fathers, lack the warmth they deserve, and are faced with cold land, cold weapons, and blood and bones.

"When ......"

When the bell rang, the eyes of everyone in the city suddenly widened, including the children, and they also ran quickly and rushed to all parts of the city wall.

In their hands, they hold all kinds of magic weapons, all of which are mysterious and powerful!

Shi Hao was shocked at the time, these children were very vigorous, far surpassing their peers in the outside world, as fast as one little cheetah after another, and the murderous aura they exuded was even better than that of fierce beasts!

Even a child of a few years old looks extremely athletic!

But children are children after all, they are armed with weapons, just to cultivate a kind of consciousness, and because there is really no one in the city, the young and strong have all died in battle!

"What happened?" Shi Hao asked.

"There is an enemy coming. The one-armed old man replied.

He took Shi Hao and rushed to a direction, crossed the void, quickly came to a city wall, and looked down.

A layer of light curtain has been raised, guarding the entire ancient city, it is a light curtain formed by runes that can block the attacks of immortals.

Under the city, there is a fierce beast, the size is huge, it has two heads, one is the head of the ancestral crocodile, golden and bright, and the other is the head of Peng, fierce and hideous.

Its body is large, with the body of an ancestral crocodile, but it also has a pair of huge golden wings on its back, which are Peng wings.

Obviously, this is an extremely powerful race, and when the one-armed old man saw it, his expression immediately froze.

Shi Hao had heard that most of the people who could reach the city wall were immortals, was this a real immortal being?

Fortunately, Sanzang and Shenying are not in the direction of this city gate, otherwise it would be dangerous!

"Fortunately, it's just a corpse, and someone used his body to weigh the Imperial City again. The one-armed old man let out a sigh.

This is just the body of a fierce beast, the immortal creature uses the corpse to manifest, targeting the ancient city, and it has been so frequently recently, according to the old man's guess, the Armageddon is coming soon!

The old man waved his hand and asked the children to do it, and the communication between them was very simple, almost without words.

And although this is not a real immortal enemy, it is also terrifying, and the one-armed old man actually handed it over to the children and asked them to make a move.

A group of children were silent, but they were all very resolute, and they had already stood in some special areas of the city wall, holding magic weapons, silently sacrificing runes, and urging the divine power.

Rumble!

The wall seemed to come to life, emitting a glimmer of light, and then a huge sword light appeared and slashed forward, slashing at the ancient beast!

Secret treasure!

The ones used by those children are special secret treasures that can resonate with the wall and give birth to defensive runes and offensive and killing techniques.

However, their little faces were all snow-white and lacked blood, and soon some people sat down cross-legged, silently reciting the sacrificial texts, and communicating with some of the "fires" in the city.

Those fires are very special, they are all skeletons, and there is immortal power permeating, and they are borrowing a trace of divine light, a wisp of divine light, and transmitting it through the magic weapon.

"Let them do such a dangerous thing at such a young age?" Shi Hao frowned, this looked simple. But there is a great crisis.

Although the skeleton of that immortal creature was locked by the rune array, it lent a little bit of power every time, but if a small group of immortal fire broke out, it was enough to make them die ten thousand times.

In addition, if there is an accident during the transmission of the Dharma instrument, it will be a great disaster.

Of course, Shi Hao also has to admire the people in the city. Create a secret method so that children can all participate in the battle, and they all have this kind of courage, and they will not flinch in the face of strong enemies, and they will be resolute.

"Is this still dangerous, their fathers, grandparents, dozens or even thousands of people have sacrificed their lives together, holding the bones of immortal beings and rushing out with flames. Fight alongside the king. The one-armed old man said flatly.

This kind of thing is cruel, bloody, and completely filled with his life, but he said it so plainly.

"Call upon the power of the abyss. The price to be paid is even greater. He sighed.

That critical moment may be dealing with the Immortal King!

Burst!

Some children have pale faces, although their strength is far better than their peers, but they are too young after all. Spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Someone stepped forward, carried him away, and took care of him.

"Born here. What can it be?" said the one-armed old man, and in a simple sentence, he said it all.

The reality is so cruel, if you want to be as free and carefree as children in the outside world, grow up with a bright smile, that's impossible!

Here, to be alive is to be happy.

Boom!

The city wall continued to glow, slashing out sword qi, forcing the ancient beast backwards.

But after all, it is a group of children, and even with the help of various forces, the attacking techniques activated are insufficient.

In the end, it was still a few old men who made a move, urging together, and this wall erupted with immeasurable light, forming a blood-colored halberd in front of it, slashing forward.

"Poof!"

The beast's head was cut off, and a ray of will fled.

In the end, the ancient beast was dragged into the city, and of course, after passing through the gate of the city, it was purified and extinguished, so as to avoid accidents.

In the evening, there was a fire in the city, and it was the bones of the beasts that were burning, forming a bonfire.

Shi Hao sat on the side, looking at the children who were sitting quietly, not saying a word, waiting for food, and his heart was difficult to calm down.

"Let's try a piece, it tastes good. The one-armed old man handed Shi Hao a piece of meat, which was today's trophy.

This kind of meat contains an amazing essence, which can only be possessed by ancient beasts with terrifying bloodlines, and if children want to eat it, they need the old people to help them refine it repeatedly.

Shi Hao finally understood why these children were not very old, but they were all infinitely powerful, and their strength far exceeded that of their peers.

For many years, they have been feeding on ferocious beasts.

If this is taken out and cultivated, it will definitely be a group of humanoid beasts with extraordinary potential, all of which are good seedlings!

"There are some ominous substances in the body of the fierce beasts in the foreign land, and if you eat too much, you will get strange diseases, otherwise, the corpses of some fierce beasts left by the ancient wars in the warehouse contain more divine power and are more amazing. The one-armed old man said.

"Ominous?" Shi Hao was surprised.

"Well, if you eat it all year round, if you don't find a chance to dissolve it, you will be lost. The old man nodded and told Shi Hao to pay attention to refining.

According to the old man's guess, the exotic creatures are not only one or two fierce beasts, but other royal families also have more or less a trace of it, but it is just a matter of how much there is.

"Children, go and say goodbye to your mother and grandmother tonight, and tell them all that you want to say in your heart. The one-armed old man stood up and said to the children sitting around the campfire.

"Tomorrow, when the sun rises, you will be on your way, go to a place to learn more powerful skills, and when you are strong enough, come back to pick up your relatives, and fight side by side with us old men!" said the one-armed old man in a loud voice.

However, Shi Hao could hear the tremor in his voice, it was a word with emotion, touching his heart, this was a farewell.

Some of the older children, all of them stood up and shouted, "No, we are going to stay and fight, the city is in the people, the city is dead, fight with the ancestors, the blood will stay here!"

"We're going to stay!"

"We're not leaving!"

"This is where we belong, even if we die in battle, our blood and bones will be buried here!"

A group of teenagers shouted and shouted emotionally, because they knew that the old man wanted them to leave alive and not come back.

"Shut up for me, now, go back, talk more to your mother and grandmother, and gather me here early in the morning!" shouted the one-armed old man.

The bonfires were extinguished, and the city was dark.

At this moment, for many children, the impact is huge, like the sky is falling, and they want to leave here?

However, they have lived for many years, and they have been here since birth, and they are reluctant to leave.

Early in the morning, when a ray of glow appears.

The one-armed old man and some old fellows personally took out the children one by one and gathered them in the square.

"Let's go, whoever has the skills of your ancestors can shoot a big star with an arrow at the worst, and then come back to me!" an old man roared.

Standing next to them, the mothers and grandmothers of those children are also the main force of the battle, and they cannot leave!

At this moment, the children cried, and the women cried.

On weekdays, they were silent and didn't talk much, but now they all shouted and screamed, unwilling to separate.

The children rushed to their loved ones, as if they had endless words, and cried loudly.

At this time, they cried and shouted a lot more than they usually combined.

When the sun rose, Shi Hao left with a group of children, and the golden morning glow stretched their figures very long, as if they were reluctant! )
