Chapter 10: The Mysterious Ancient Corpse

The old beggar had not accepted the metal plate before.

Wang Xu relied on this pass card and walked into the city smoothly.

The streets under the lamps are clean and tidy.

It's been eight years.

It was the first time he had re-entered since he was banished from the city at the age of ten.

In the past, the annual internal and external cultivation qualification tests inside and outside the city were all carried out outside the city gates.

"Wang Xu, I'll go to the Azure Hotel tomorrow to find you."

Ding Ze didn't stay here for long, as a teacher in the outer courtyard of the Martial Academy, and the leader of this death squad, he now has a lot of things to report to the above.

Everyone who has just qualified to enter the city can stay at the Azure Hotel for free for ten days.

During these ten days, the hotel has food and accommodation.

It means that everyone in the city is given ten days to adapt.

Those who enter the city must find a job and a place to live within ten days, and become a city citizen in the true sense.

Begging in the city, or becoming a vagabond, will be expelled again by the city's law enforcement team.

"Brother Ding, see you tomorrow."

Wang Xu looked at Ding Ze who was leaving.

Jiang Ruoyi opened the door of an off-road vehicle next to her: "Get in the car." ”

"I knew you would survive."

"Good people don't live long, but disasters last for a thousand years."

"You're a great scourge in my eyes."

Nie Xiaodemon blocked Wang Xu behind her, and she stared at Jiang Ruoyi menacingly: "You obviously think that Wang Xu can't come back, are you slapped in the face now?" ”

Since the past, as long as these two people meet together, they must have quarreled endlessly.

Wang Xu has long been used to it.

"I want to go to bed early tonight." Wang Xu wanted to get on the co-pilot.

Nie Xiaoyou pulled Wang Xu and sat in the back seat of the off-road vehicle.

After Jiang Ruoyi started the car, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove in the direction of the suburbs.

The Blue Hotel is located on the outskirts of Jianghai City.

A light piano song was playing on the stereo in the car.

It was dark at night outside the car window.

"Wang Xu, welcome back."

Jiang Ruoyi's words were very light.

It seems to make people feel like they are having auditory hallucinations.

This time, Nie Xiaoyou didn't quarrel with Jiang Ruoyi.

The night scene outside the car window hurried by in Wang Xu's sight: "Little daughter-in-law, thank you." ”

Jiang Ruoyi's hands holding the steering wheel tightened.

She knew that this was Wang Xu thanking her for being by Nie Xiaoyou's side.

The title has not changed, but there is an invisible sense of alienation.

After adjusting the emotions in her heart, Jiang Ruoyi said: "I am now a student of the Outer Courtyard of the Martial Academy. ”

"After you left, I heard that the mission of the death squad was to explore a spatial rift seventy kilometers west of the city."

"You must have encountered a mutant beast on the way."

"It's a good thing that's the case, otherwise you and Teacher Ding wouldn't have come back alive."

She thought that Wang Xu had been with Ding Ze all the time, so she was able to return to Jianghai City alive.

Wang Xu looked at Jiang Ruoyi: "Little daughter-in-law, do you mean that there is a problem with that spatial crack?" ”

Jiang Ruoyi nodded while driving and replied, "This time, only Jiang Haicheng has a bloody rain here. ”

"According to past experience, after the blood rain, mutant beasts that have become berserk will come to attack Jianghai City."

"But most of the mutant beasts in the vicinity have concentrated towards that spatial rift."

"After the martial arts academy lost contact with the death squad, after careful consideration, a group of real elites were sent in the city."

"They're wearing shooting gear, and they're going to transmit what they're seeing back in real time."

Wang Xu listened carefully.

The expression on Jiang Ruoyi's face began to become solemn: "That group of martial arts elites found that within two thousand meters centered on the spatial rift, all the mutant beasts that stepped into this range had all tacitly stopped attacking each other, and they seemed to be waiting for something to appear?" ”

"Later, in the images that were transmitted back, we saw that the spatial rift was cracking bigger and bigger."

"An air-dried ancient corpse floated out of the crack and was suspended in mid-air."

"Those mutant beasts are very interested in that ancient corpse, and they want to devour it."

"But something strange happened, the air-dried ancient corpse suddenly opened its eyes."

"When the ancient corpse opens its eyes, everything melts!"

"Within two kilometers of the ancient corpse, all living animals and plants began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"Those mutant beasts and the elite warriors in the city don't even have a chance to escape."

"Now this video has been deliberately made public."

"Afterwards, the city sent people to check it out, and they didn't dare to set foot in that area."

"Now there is no grass growing there, and it has become a dead land."

Wang Xu frowned slightly.

Since the sun turned blood-red more than a hundred years ago, there have been some mysterious events everywhere.

Such a strange ancient corpse has appeared for the first time.

The ancient corpse opens its eyes, and everything melts!

This is a great horror!

Even if he is dead, he still has such power, what kind of monstrous power will this person have when he is alive?

"What does the city want to do with that ancient corpse now?" Wang Xu asked.

Jiang Ruoyi smiled bitterly and said, "The people of Jianghai City are not capable of solving this trouble. ”

"I heard that the powerhouses of Sky City will come to Jianghai City this time."

Castle in the sky.

It was an ancient castle suspended in the sky.

Thirty years ago.

This ancient city suddenly emerged from beneath the earth and has been floating in the sky ever since.

Only the truly strong people on Earth today are qualified to step into the Sky City to explore.

Wang Xu stretched his waist: "The sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top." ”

"This mysterious event is too far away from us, I still think about how to survive in the city!"

Jiang Ruoyi nodded and said: "That's true, in this era, we are just small fish and shrimp at best." ”

"It's not something we can be involved in."

Nie Xiaoyou, who was in the back seat, pulled Wang Xu's sleeve and said, "Wang Xu, I want to eat instant noodles tonight." ”

Instant noodles are a luxury in the slums.

Today's slums are grass-grazing levels per capita.

Zhao Fatzi's noodle restaurant sells handmade noodles made by himself, and its taste is very ordinary, but he can eat enough.

Instant noodles are only produced inside the city, and rarely circulate to the slums outside.

Wang Xu spread his hands: "I don't have any money." ”

Nie Xiaodemon puffed out his mouth and said, "I knew you would say that." ”

"The dinner at the Azure Hotel every night is instant noodles, and I have saved all the instant noodles for the past few days."

"Your appetite is so big, one pack is definitely not enough to eat."

"Am I smart?"

"Praise me."

Wang Xu gently pinched Nie Xiaoyou's nose: "If some people don't eat well in the future, some places will never grow up." ”

He felt a pang of distress in his heart.

Nie Xiaoyou's cheeks were slightly red, and he lowered his head and said, "Wang Xu, you are perverted." ”

……

More than an hour later.

The buggy arrived at the Azure Hotel.

Looking at Nie Xiaodemon pulling Wang Xu into the hotel in the rearview mirror, Jiang Ruoyi had an indescribable feeling.

Once upon a time, she was the one who had always been by Wang Xu's side.

"Little daughter-in-law, give me more advice in the future."

"I, Wang Xu, are back."

Wang Xu, who walked into the Azure Hotel, suddenly walked out again.

Under the bright stars.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xu's mouth.

At this moment, Jiang Ruoyi also smiled lightly.

It's good to be back!

Nie Xiaodemon stood in the Azure Hotel surprisingly didn't bother.
