As time passed, the mood of Zero and the others grew heavier.

From the time Beshi and Lake entered, an hour had passed by now.

But they never came back.

"My lord, what now?" Holmes asked in a whisper.

He was a little impatient, and he wanted to rush in now.

Again, the decision is not in his hands.

Zero's face was solemn, and he chose to remain silent in the face of Holmes' answer.

At this moment, he is also in a dilemma.

When he chose to use Besh and Lake as the Pathfinder Stones, Zero had three outcomes in mind.

First, everything is going very well, the city-state is safe, Beshi and Lake can get out safely, and then they can go in together.

The second is that when Beshi and Lake are unable to enter the city-state, they are either expelled or directly beheaded, and the guards on the castle tower do not seem to be decorations, which is completely understandable.

But now it's the third situation that Zero doesn't want to encounter - Beshi and Lake both go in, but they never come out.

After a short period of thought, Zero decided to stay put.

He did want to enter the city-state, but he needed some more time to understand.

It's not a wise choice to rush in.

He took two steps forward, his eyes fixed on the tower.

He could feel that a gaze was staring at him.

At this moment, zero's mental activity is probably that hesitation may be defeated, and decisiveness will definitely be given in vain.

"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with us staying outside for the time being, if it's just those sand monsters, we can deal with it." Syrt spoke.

Zero shook his head and didn't speak.

He stared at the city-state, and there was still a bit of unconcealable fanaticism in his eyes, but Stert and the others didn't notice it.

Came here, of course, because it was what Zero was looking for.

And the reason why he found the city-state is because it is here that he feels the strongest.

Zero's instincts tell him that if he wants to find what he is looking for, he has to enter the city-state, but before he can do it, he must make sure that he is in a safe state.

Although it is said that people die for money and birds die for food, he doesn't want to really throw his life here for what he needs.

It was already dark.

"If we don't go in," Syrt reminded, "the gates may be closed later, and at that point, we won't have the chance to go in." ”

"Then stay outside, what's the matter." Zero said with a chuckle.

He didn't pay much attention to Sylter's reminder.

After all, he wasn't in such a hurry either.

And Syrt is like a prophet.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zero saw that the gates of the city-state in front of him had really begun to slowly close.

As the gates closed, it was already completely dark.

As the last glimmer of light dissipated, a cold wind struck, and the people brought by Holmes couldn't even hold back their shivering, and the sudden drop in temperature cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.

Looking at the closed gates, Syrt opened his mouth and didn't say the last word, just a long sigh.

I don't know why, when I saw the city gate closed, Sirter's heart tightened for no reason.

"It's okay now, don't worry about it." Instead, a smile appeared on Zero's face, and he turned to look at the person behind him, and said, "Rest where you are, and wait until dawn." ”

"Yes." The others looked at each other and didn't say anything.

Holmes stared at the city-state, still worried about Beshi and Lake.

Especially Beshi.

They joined the organization almost at the same time, and the two supported each other and had established a very deep relationship with each other.

In addition to the friendship of teammates, Holmes has always liked this hot girl in his heart.

It's just that there are too many people who like Beshi, and Bexi is unpretentious to those people and takes the initiative to distance himself.

Holmes thinks the relationship is actually quite good now.

Thinking that Beshi had not come out of the city-state before, and that they were unable to enter the city-state now, Holmes did not know what was waiting for them after dawn.

It was a long night, and Zero and the two knights clearly didn't want to waste their time.

"I'm going to take a closer look, what about you?" Zero said, looking at Steel.

"I want to look around." Syrt said.

Zero nodded, not demanding anything.

Beshirek had not encountered any danger when he had made his way towards the city gates.

So Zero felt that there was no risk in getting closer and observing.

It doesn't matter if Syrt is with him or not.

Although he thought so in his heart, when Zero really approached the city-state, the speed was still very slow, and he kept his eyes on the castle tower, just for fear that the other party would suddenly use cold arrows.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

There was a deathly silence until Zero came under the walls.

He reached out and stroked the city walls, and the touch was so real.

It's just that the feeling of being stared at by a cold gaze is still there.

I looked up, but I couldn't find the source of my gaze.

But at this moment, from the darkness behind him, a terrible scream suddenly came.

Then, there was another roar.

Zero jerked around and looked behind him.

That's where he is now.

In the dark.

A little bit of red light flickered.

It seems to be dense eyes.

Zero quickly rushed forward.

Although it doesn't matter if these people die, even if they want to die, it's not at this time.

You have to get them to contribute first.

When Zero arrived, he saw that Holmes and the others had been surrounded.

Sand monsters, countless sand monsters, are attacking them.

Fortunately, there were still two knights here, otherwise, Holmes and the others might have been completely torn apart by these monsters by now.

Just as Zero was about to step forward to help, he suddenly heard Syrt shout.

"Withdraw! Retreat! There are bugs! Damn it...... What the hell is this! ”

Zero was a little surprised to hear this.

He knew Syrt's strength, but at this moment, he actually heard the panic from Syrt's tone of voice.

When Zero saw the dense worms burrowing out of the sand, the cerebellum began to shrink as well.

Bugger!

Dense bugs!

At first glance, the sand looks like it's turned into an ocean, and the bugs are the waves that push it quickly.

When he saw these bugs, Zero's heart chuckled.

Dangerous!

Immediately, a large patch of insects engulfed a man, and the other party struggled at first, but then turned into a pile of white bones.

Everything happened so fast that everyone who saw this scene was also scared stupid.

"Retreat, retreat!" Syrt said quickly.

He released a golden light, and the wild breath completely crushed the insects in front of him, but this did not cause much trouble to the insect tide, but it was only a brief stagnation, and then, dense insects crawled over again.

Killing, it seems, is inexhaustible.

"Come with me, quick!" Syrt yelled at them, then rushed towards the city gates.

Although the gates were closed at the moment, they didn't seem to have any other choice now.

Also, Zero is in that place right now, so even if you can't get into the city-state, it's good to stay with Zero.

Zero's face sank when he saw Sylter running towards him with someone.

He really wanted to yell at them, don't you come here!

But when people are threatened with death, their sanity is gone, and even if they really try to stop them, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Zero stepped back, staring into the darkness.

He always felt that there seemed to be an even more terrifying existence in the dark, staring at him.

And right now, the biggest threat to them is those dense bugs.

They are extremely fast in the sand, and if they take a little slower, they will crawl all over their bodies, and then, in an instant, they will turn into a pile of white bones.

Not even a chance to struggle.

What surprised Zero even more.

When they came to the city gate, a gap appeared in the originally closed city gate.

A miserable white head sticks out of it, staring straight at him, with a weird smile.

"I told you all to come in......"
