Lin Yi put away the "Kunlun Ice Marrow", and the temperature around him began to rise slowly.

Those "ghost-faced moths" have now completely frozen to death, and there is no chance of survival.

A thick layer of corpses fell on the ground, and as the temperature rose, it turned into a pool of slimy blood, mixed with the powder on the ground, and when you stepped on it, it was like stepping on the mud, and a nausea sensation went straight to the brain.

Now they didn't care about anything, and the group stepped on the sticky insect corpses, held the King Kong umbrella, and continued to move towards the earth city.

At the end of the rammed earth path beneath their feet was the city they had faced countless times in their dreams.

In my dreams, I can only see the outline of the city, and when I want to see the details, my eyes are always blurry.

Now, it's in its entirety.

A three-story tall earthen castle made of earthy yellow rammed earth walls was stuck in the cave, and there was no flag behind it, only a bare flagpole stood directly above the city gate.

The jagged battlements above the city walls did not appear with the patrolling guards that I had met in my dreams.

There is no grass growing at the root of the wall.

At that time, in order to prevent anyone from stealing the castle, the ground under the city wall was covered with cooked soil, and lime was sprinkled regularly to prevent plants from growing under the city wall, so that people had no place to hide.

It's been so long since this place is still bare, which shows that a lot of thought went into building this mountain city in the first place.

The two gates were closed, and the drawbridge was hoisted high by chains.

Below is a moat seven or eight meters wide, and there is no river in it.

"Huh~"

Wang Qiang's flashlight shone into the river, and immediately showed a disdainful and disgusting expression.

In the middle of the moat, there were dense black maggots, covered with mucus, like black loaches that were entwined together.

"What is this?"

"The larvae of the black hairy fly have a very corrosive mucus, and as long as it is stained, it will lose a layer of skin, invading the skin and bones."

Wang Qiang, who listened to it, couldn't help but shudder.

"It's so much scarier than a fucking river, it's no joke to fall down!"

"Since it's a larva, it's an adult."

"Adult worms, in the absence of a food source, will throw themselves into the larval colony and act as a source of sustenance for them.

This moat was originally supposed to have been filled with all kinds of supplies for these black flies to reproduce for generations, and it is indeed a little unbelievable that so many have survived after so long. ”

Lin Yi raised the bright flashlight, looked at the maggots in the river under his feet, and felt a pain in his heart.

According to the situation in the dream, they should now show the "General's Order" in their hands to the guards on the city wall, and after the other party confirms, someone will come out and welcome them into the inner city.

But now there are no guards on the city wall, how can this door be opened?

Lin Yi was still worried about this matter, but Bai Lu raised the "General Order" in his hand and shook it a few times at the empty city wall.

"That's no one, who are you going to show it to?"

Before Wang Qiang finished speaking, he heard a creaking sound at the city gate in front of him.

After a sound of a metal winch turning, the chains on the drawbridge began to fall.

staggered in front of the four of them.

Lin Yi and his brother were dumbfounded at the same time.

Wang Qiang raised a flashlight and looked carefully at the top of the city wall, but still did not see any figure.

"There's no surveillance in this place, is it?"

Bai Lu took the first step and walked onto the drawbridge, and the city gate began to creak open.

The dream of someone going out of the city to greet him did not happen.

"It's better to be careful!"

Lin Yi and Wang Qiang supported Qian Sheng, and as soon as they stepped onto the suspension bridge behind Bai Lu, they heard three consecutive sounds of the sound of the arrow breaking through the air.

"Tuk!" The sound of the ringing.

With a bang, three arrows landed at the feet of the three of them impartially.

It was a centimeter away from their toes, and if they had taken a slightly larger step, the chirping would have pierced their insteps.

"Who?"

The beam of the flashlight shone above the city walls, and the source of the arrow was still nowhere to be found.

"What's going on? Do you want to let you go? ”

"I know, we didn't show our identities!"

After that, Lin Yi took out a "general's order" from his bag, and followed Bai Lu's example, and swayed twice at the city wall.

Then he moved half a step forward slightly, not triggering Mingdi's attack again.

Seeing this, Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng also hurriedly showed their two waist cards, and cautiously moved forward, and sure enough, everything returned to normal.

"Hey, hey! Let's go around and go into the city, and I'll see who's doing the tricks here! ”

The group walked briskly down the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge rose again.

The gate in front of them was pitch black, exactly like the scene they had seen in their dreams.

Stepping into the doorway, the light behind him suddenly disappeared, and a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Several people reached out to cover their eyes at the same time, and when they adjusted to the light, everything in front of them made them all stunned on the spot.

The four people who were still in the middle of the mountain just now returned to their hotel rooms after passing through the city gate.

Everything is still the way they set out.

"We. . Is this coming out? ”

Bai Lu walked to the bed with a blank face, reaching out to touch the quilt and pillow on the bed.

It's pretty real to the touch, and the pillow still smells like the brand of shampoo you use most.

Lin Yi took out his mobile phone, the signal had been restored to full, opened the webpage and refreshed the time, only half an hour had passed since they left.

When I walked out of the window, it was pitch black outside, only the street lights were still on.

Everything is so real.

"Third child, pinch me!"

Wang Qiang stood in place, still unable to accept this fact for a while.

Qian Sheng stretched out his hand and gave him an arm.

It hurt so much that he bared his teeth, and then he finally believed that he had really returned to real space.

"What's going on, Lao Lin, I'm confused, which one is a dream and which one is reality?"

Lin Yi took out the compass from his bag, and the pointer on it was still shaking, but it was not shaking as violently when he was on the top of the mountain.

"We should have just found our way into the 'imaginary space'. But we were too far away from the real world to actually enter the city. ”

Let's go, go to the front desk and return the house, let's drive up Pingfeng Mountain now. ”

Wang Qiang responded and went downstairs to go through the formalities.

Bai Lu helped Qian Sheng retreat the wound, bandaged it and applied the medicine, and the group went back to the room to take away everyone's belongings.

Lin Yi took off the charger plugged into the bedside, glanced at the book again, hesitated, and still stuffed it into his bag. (End of chapter)
