Chapter 5: Out of the City
I saw that the sky above Tongtian City was bright and dark, and thunder roared.
Looking into the distance, the towering tower of Babel suddenly began to shake violently, and the thick clouds in the sky seemed to be crushed, drifting away in all directions, revealing the almost unseen spire of the Babel Tower, and a dazzling light burst out from the spire, shining brightly, enveloping the entire Babel City.
The spire is like a bright pearl, the colorful light flickers, the snow is falling in the sky, in the exclamation of countless people, the space at the spire is torn apart, the energy is raging in the cracks, and there is a deafening whistling sound coming out.
And the crack was still expanding rapidly, and the raging energy hit the sky, and it rushed towards the city of Babel, and in an instant, the mountains shook, countless houses collapsed, and the huge city of Babel was already full of devastation, with broken walls everywhere.
This sudden change is long, but in fact it is fast, and everyone is like a boat in the middle of a huge wave, swaying from side to side, standing unsteadily.
The drums and bells in the Tower of Babel are ringing in unison, like a song of the end times, which makes the people of the city panic and uneasy.
Yang Ling's steps were floating, his body staggered, and the surrounding He family guards were even more unbearable, and even some people were hit by flying boulders, and they whimpered inexplicably.
The incident happened suddenly, Yang Ling was anxious, because her mother Tang Yi was still in that simple house, she was weak and incapacitated, and if the house collapsed, I was afraid that it would be more than lucky.
At this time, the scene was chaotic, He Lie was very unlucky, he was pressed by a huge branch falling from the sky, screaming, and looking miserable.
Although the He family's guards were also killed and wounded, they couldn't care about themselves, so they all ran to rescue He Lie, and no one chased Yang Ling anymore.
Yang Ling secretly sighed that providence favored him, and sent a glimmer of life when he was most critical.
He didn't dare to delay and quickly ran towards where his mother was.
But the worst happened, the humble hut couldn't stand the shaking of the mountain, and it had fallen apart and reduced to a pile of rubble.
Yang Ling was full of sadness and pain, he let go of the little girl in his arms, and frantically picked up the rubble, trying to save his mother.
Such a scene is happening everywhere in Babel City, and people can no longer care about the upheaval in the sky, and they are all trying to save them.
But at this moment, He Lie dragged a lame leg and arrived with the He family guards.
The little girl sat next to Yang Ling, and when she saw He Lie, her body trembled, her eyes were misty, she wanted to escape, but she was afraid of being caught and murdered.
In the end, she simply resigned herself to smashing a small stone in her hand at He Lie, crying and muttering: "The sixth grandfather always said that if you are bold and starve, you will die of starvation, I must have been starved to death! Woo woo~ I'd better stay honest, it's safer to follow him." The little girl was secretly sad and felt that she was too useless.
He Lie stood not far away with the He family's guards, he was originally dressed in brocade and jade clothes, but at this moment he had become a beggar, unkempt, and even a wisp of blood flowed out of his hair.
"Yang Ling, you should die obediently!" He Lie was very hideous, he saw that Yang Ling was already overwhelmed, and it was difficult to continue fighting.
However, Yang Ling did not respond to him, but continued to clean up the ruins.
The anomaly in the sky continued, and with an endless roar, several figures appeared from the spatial cracks, like meteors, and quickly disappeared from people's sight.
"What's that, Flying Immortals?" someone exclaimed.
"Being able to break through the void and cause turmoil in the heavens and the earth is the power of the immortals!"
"What flying immortals, you are really unheard, I have seen from many ancient books, there are no immortals in this world!" Someone heard their conversation and sneered.
"You're just a scholar, haven't you heard of it, it's useless to be a scholar...... If you can cultivate an aura, say these words again!"
......
Even if some people are unsteady on their feet, they still talk to me and make a lot of noise, and they are hit by flying rubble if they don't pay attention, and they cry out in pain.
After those figures disappeared, the spatial cracks in the sky began to close, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the heaven and earth finally returned to peace.
Yang Ling didn't pay attention to these, because his eyes were attracted by a figure in the distance, it was his mother Tang Yi, Tang Yi was supported by a middle-aged woman at this time, and it seemed that there was no big problem.
At this moment, Yang Ling felt that the boulder hanging in his heart had finally landed, he didn't know why his mother appeared there, and he didn't know who the middle-aged woman who was supporting his mother was, but it was enough for his mother to be safe.
Tang Yi just looked at Yang Ling from a distance, and didn't come over, she knew that her current state was just a burden.
Yang Ling had no entanglement, and when He Lie and the He family guards were attracted by the vision in the sky, he suddenly picked up the little girl and ran away into the distance.
At this time, the originally tall courtyard wall of the He family had collapsed, and the place where Yang Ling was at this time was the most marginal place of the He family, and his purpose was very clear, that is, to escape from the He family immediately.
Seeing that Yang Ling actually ran away while he was not paying attention, He Lie went crazy, he completely ignored the devastation of his family, and continued to chase Yang Ling with all the guards.
Tongtian City has changed beyond recognition, I heard that similar things happened in Tongtian City tens of thousands of years ago, when the heavens and the earth failed, the space collapsed, disasters occurred frequently, and everyone from the nobles to the common people could not escape the doom of exhaustion.
At that time, the city of Babel was like now, with ruins and broken walls, dead and wounded, as if the end was coming.
It is rumored that the situation is even worse than now, the air is filled with an inexplicable decay aura, except for those who have the blood of the Yuan Spirit, everyone else is rapidly aging in this decaying qi.
Their qi and blood are dry, their skin is wrinkled, and some people with weak physiques have turned into dry bones in a short period of time, and the most terrifying thing is that they cannot die immediately after becoming dry bones, and there is still a fire of life burning in the dry bones, the power is infinite, the bones are hard, and the dry bones have no human nature, they kill wantonly, like a humanoid war weapon.
Even people with the bloodline of the Yuan Spirit can only delay aging, and cannot completely resist the qi of decay, unless they have the aura to live by their body or become a spiritual cultivator, they will also age in more than ten years and turn into dry bones.
Until one day, a giant tower fell from the sky, and the giant tower reached to the sky, and people called it the Tower of Babel, which had a strange ability to dispel the air of decay and save people from disaster.
For tens of thousands of years, people have lived under the protection of the Tower of Babel, and have forgotten the original apocalypse, and occasionally people will talk about that 'legend' after dinner.
Escaped all the way from the He family, ran on the streets of Tongtian City, raised his eyes to mourn all over the wilderness, and there were mourning voices everywhere, which made people feel desolate.
"Let me go, I'm going back and waiting for the sixth grandfather to come back!" The little girl was infected by the sorrow of all beings and thought of her relatives.
Yang Ling was helpless, seeing that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, he would not let the little girl go no matter what, otherwise He Lie would definitely kill the little girl and put all the blame on him.
The little girl punched and kicked, and was willful, which made Yang Ling extremely annoyed.
"If you mess around again, I'll throw you down and let the bad guys chasing us trample you to death!"
The little girl retorted, "Why did they step on me? I'm not an ant, so easy to be trampled to death?" It's all your fault, if it weren't for you, they wouldn't have killed me!"
Yang Ling was speechless, this little girl looked like she was only five or six years old, but she was full of words and knew the truth of all this very well.
"In the rumors, the air of decay outside Tongtian City is boundless, and ordinary people don't dare to set foot in it at all, so they can only gamble, hoping that these guards can stop chasing and killing in fear of the rumors!"
The He family's mansion was at the very edge of Tongtian City, and at a glance, the huge walls of Tongtian City could not withstand the violent fluctuations and had collapsed.
There was a crowd of people in the collapsed area, many people turned their heads to each other, and from time to time there were exclamations of exclamation, and some people shouted sharply from time to time.
Seeing that Yang Ling didn't pay attention to herself at all, the little girl was extremely disappointed, and said in a hurry: "Uncle, it's okay for you to let me go, the sixth grandfather can't find me, I'm very anxious!" She completely forgot that someone was chasing and killing behind her, and she wanted to go back.
"Uncle?" Yang Ling almost lost his breath when he heard this title, he really didn't imagine that he was so old.
Yang Ling was unmoved, and he would never let go like this, which was equivalent to giving up the little girl's life.
"Uncle, give me some money...... a beggar crooked his mouth and squinted his eyes, his saliva flowed, and he begged from passers-by, but all he attracted was spurning and contempt, and people bypassed him from a distance, and they did not want to approach him at all.
The little girl in Yang Ling's arms did the same, broke her little face, and instantly became a little crooked mouth, cross-eyed, drooling, snot in and out of her nostrils, humming and sneering, very funny.
"If I become like this, he'll put me down!" she thought, and then put her little face in front of Yang Ling.
Yang Ling was startled by the 'stranger' that suddenly appeared in front of him, and almost threw this 'little monster' out.
Yang Ling laughed and laughed, and then thought about the reason.
The two of them soon came to the collapsed city wall, and the He family guards behind them were already only a few steps away from them.
After the collapse of the city wall, many passers-by were crushed, but only a few people stepped forward to help, and the relatives of the injured cried and tried to rescue, and their hands were bloodied.
Outside the city walls, there were several humanoid skeletons bouncing and running wildly.
Yang Ling chuckled in his heart, and finally knew which rumors were true, and ordinary people outside Tongtian City really couldn't set foot in it.
Thinking of this, he quickly made his way through the crowd and rushed towards the outside of the city.
The onlookers were attracted by Yang Ling's actions, and they all exclaimed continuously, and some even began to scream.
"Look, look, someone is out again......"
"It's sad, those people just now didn't believe the rumors and wanted to go out of the city to have a look, but as soon as they went out, they became dry bones......"
"It's terrible, I'm glad I have the Tower of Babel to protect me, otherwise ......"
......
......
Everyone was talking and making loud noises, and some people were excited to witness the strange moment when Yang Ling and the little girl turned into dry bones.
