Chapter 401: The Ruins of a Once Civilization
Regarding the geographical situation of this world, Lin Xiao and others are of course far inferior to Liu Nansheng, who was born and raised in the world, so listening to Liu Nansheng say this, Lin Xiao also nodded slightly.
"Then it's decided, let's go all the way north, hoping to reach the 'Neptune City' as soon as possible, and even if we can't find the 'Neptune City', we hope to reach other towns. ”
"The problem is that there is a membrane of space outside these towns, and even if we find it, we can't enter it if there is a membrane of space. Ji Yin turned the blue bracelet on his left wrist, frowning slightly.
"Let's think about this later, at least for now, we have got rid of the icemen, those icemen can't escape, we don't have to worry about being afraid of those icemen army anymore. Liu Nansheng said: "This desert seems to have nothing at the moment, it is not a way for us to stay here, we need to get out of here as soon as possible." ”
Lin Xiao snorted and said, "Then let's go, I hope you can leave early." "At the moment, it seems that this desert is endless, and there is not even half a dark beast, if this is the case, then food and water will become a big problem, so taking advantage of the strength now, everyone wants to leave the desert as soon as possible.
A group of 2,000 people, did not stay longer, after determining the direction, began to rush to the north, fortunately, the strength of the people is far stronger than ordinary people, the speed of the road and the physical strength of the people, are far from the ordinary people comparable, a day to catch the distance, than ordinary people to walk ten days more than the distance.
To everyone's surprise, after breaking the barrier that shrouded the desert town, everyone traveled a lot that day, but they didn't encounter a single dark beast, just like this dark beast only existed in the area covered by the membrane of space before, and outside, there was no dark beast at all.
At night, after a day's journey, 2,000 people rested on the spot, and on this day, there was no food or drink, but fortunately, everyone had superhuman strength, and they could still support it for only one day.
"This is really weird, before the Iceman appeared, outside the towns, there was originally a space membrane to protect it, originally we thought that this space membrane could defend against the invasion of powerful dark beasts, but now it seems that outside the space membrane, there is not even a dark beast, which is really weird. ”
During the break, everyone chatted and felt strange about this phenomenon.
"Yes, this is really unreasonable, could it be that the original establishment of these towns and the creation of the space membrane was not to resist any powerful dark beasts outside, but to prevent the dark beasts inside from escaping?"
"You still don't understand, whether it's a novice training ground, a small town, or an important town, it's just a training ground that is used to hone everyone to become strong enough, so the spatial membrane, and what level of dark beasts to be stocked in it are all accurately calculated, which is not unusual, and you guys are too much of a fuss. Some people expressed disdain, taking the current situation for granted.
When Liu Nansheng heard this, he nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, it's not just an important town, even if it's a fortress, it's a training ground. The realm of the beast body, is enough to qualify to enter the real city, only the city, not the training ground, and there is no space membrane outside, at that time, you need to really face those powerful dark beasts, and now in the entire Anthropocene realm, there are only a hundred cities left, it is these hundred cities, combined with the six domains, that can barely resist the dark pillar of light, otherwise the dark beasts that emerge from the dark pillar of light would have already submerged the entire earth, do you think that you have not encountered a dark beast now, whose credit is it?"
Hearing Liu Nansheng say this, many people fell silent, and then sighed.
When Lin Xiao heard this, he faintly understood, it turned out that in this world, there were a hundred real cities like Sea King City, and together with the six domains, the dark pillar of light was blocked, and the reason why the dark beasts did not devour the entire world was their credit, as for the novice training grounds such as the poisonous mist swamp, or the important towns including fortresses, they were just training grounds of different levels, and their purpose was to cultivate strong people with "adult beast bodies", and then transport them into the hundred cities to resist the invasion of real dark beasts. ...,
"In this way, any lower-level, intermediate, or even higher-level dark beasts are not considered to be in the stream, but they are only used for everyone to hunt and improve their strength. Lin Xiao sighed secretly, and replied with a faint smile: "That's true, in fact, even if it's a 'general-level' dark beast, it's nothing." ”
"Lord Sai, it turns out that even our Flame Fortress is just a training ground? Only when you enter the Hundred Cities can you be considered a real warrior? Can you come into contact with a truly powerful dark beast? I used to think that the superior dark beast was very scary, but now it sounds like the high-level dark beast is only used to hone and improve our strength? It seems to be a small role. Among the people sitting around, there was a young man who seemed to be a little curious and couldn't help but ask.
Liu Nansheng glanced at him, nodded and said: "Yes, the dark beast is divided into many levels according to its strength, from the weakest lowest, lower, intermediate to superior, we are all very familiar with these, everyone can be promoted step by step into the fortress, it should be promoted by hunting this level of dark beast." ”
Many people nodded their heads.
"However, even the most powerful high-level dark beasts we have come into contact with before are actually only used for us to hone, so to speak, they are just miscellaneous soldiers among the real dark beasts, and they are even more powerful than the strongest high-level dark beasts." General-level dark beasts', to be qualified to be regarded as a real dark beast regular army, before, around our Flame Fortress, there were no general-level dark beasts, but the last time the dark spore rain, but temporarily destroyed a lot of high-level dark beasts to become general-level, of course, that is a special situation, another matter. ”
"General-level dark beasts are also divided into four levels: 'ordinary, elite, leader, and strongest', in addition, above the general-level dark beasts, there are more terrifying 'main-level dark beasts', these dark beasts can be on their own, dominate one side, and they are certainly called 'main-level' existence, legend, only the strong people of the 'six domains' can deal with these 'main-level' dark beasts, and these so-called dark beasts that we have come into contact with before are all just a group of miscellaneous soldiers who do not enter the stream...... Speaking of which, we are just flowers growing up in a greenhouse, and only when we enter the Hundred Cities and come into contact with the Pillar of Darkness can we be regarded as truly on the battlefield and a real warrior. ”
When Liu Nansheng said this, he was embarrassed, and everyone around listened to his words, and then he felt that the future was long, and he wanted to reach that step, and what year and month should he go.
"There's no point in talking about this now, the most important thing now is to find Neptune City, report the Flame Fortress and the Frost Town, as well as the series of things that have happened so far, to the high-level officials of Neptune City, and let them solve it. Baili Yintao said in a deep voice, Lin Xiao heard his words, glanced at him, and thought to himself that even if he didn't have to report it, the people of Neptune City would have already known the way, but they didn't save him for what he saw, was he incapable, or was there another way?
For the next three days, everyone has been walking in the desert, surprisingly did not encounter a dark beast, no dark beast, no water source, everyone did not eat or drink for three days and three nights, although the physical strength is superhuman, many people also feel dry mouth, the speed of the rush has dropped significantly, and many people begin to be anxious.
It wasn't until the fourth day that a team of 2,000 people finally crossed the desert, and at the edge of the desert, a huge city appeared.
The ruins of a very modern city.
A large number of completely collapsed high-rise buildings, pieces of ruins, at a glance can not see the end, you can imagine the glory of this ruin.
Lin Xiao, Sun Yaojie, Zhang You and other nearly 2,000 people, now all of them are looking at the ruins of the city that appeared in front of them, not to mention them, even Liu Nansheng and others have never seen such a huge city ruins, although a large number of high-rise buildings have collapsed and collapsed, but there are still a lot of broken walls, revealing corroded and dark steel bars, and many of them have grown grass and green vines. ..., although Liu Nansheng has become the third master of the Flame Fortress, which can be regarded as a high authority, he is a novice training ground to a small town, The important towns and others have grown up, and they have never left the membrane of space at all, and how have they seen such a huge city ruins, through the ruins, you can vaguely feel the prosperity of the city, but they were born late, and after they were born, they were already in the world where dark beasts were rampant, so they can't imagine what the once glorious modern city was like, and they can only imagine through this ruin.
And in the eyes of Lin Xiao and Sun Yaojie and other people, there is another feeling, they have seen big cities, and compared with the ruins of the city in front of them now, their shock and feelings are more shocking than Liu Nansheng and others.
After watching it for a long time, everyone came back to their senses and sighed.
"This must have been a big city before, but I don't know what it was like before it was destroyed, and what it should have been like, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to experience it for myself. Someone sighed.
Everyone began to rush to the ruins of this city, walking on the badly damaged avenue, looking at the remains of the street lamps and iron pillars on both sides and the collapsed buildings near and far, walking in it, full of an indescribable apocalyptic atmosphere.
When they arrived in this kind of place, Lin Xiao and the others could strongly feel that the former earth civilization had really been destroyed, and all that remained now was a ruin.
