[On Monday, ask for a recommended collection, monthly pass. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info】
But the strange thing is that when the people in the city looked at Chen Sheng and the others, there was even more pity, an expression like seeing a dead person. There was not the slightest emotion. There are also no welcome, exclusionary moves. It's like seeing someone who wants to end up in the same situation as you.
Chen Sheng frowned slightly, and his heart sank secretly, the atmosphere in Lushan City was too low, so low that it made people feel depressed.
It's not normal, it's not normal at all.
There were a lot of people in the city, but there was a lifeless look.
A lot of people just sit still against their houses. There was a look of despair on his face.
"Uncle, may I ask, why are the people in the city so lifeless and don't even speak, is it because the food has run out? After Chen Sheng frowned slightly, he grabbed an old man who had just received a bowl of porridge from the cauldron and asked.
"In the next life, you shouldn't have entered the city, if you enter this Lushan City, you don't want to leave alive. ”
The old man drank the gruel in the bowl with his mouth open, then looked at Chen Sheng and the people behind him, shook his head with a sigh and said, "You are not the first to enter the city, there were many people rushing to Lushan City from all sides before. But after you came in, you couldn't get out again, didn't you get attacked by fierce beasts and monsters when you were close to Lushan City for four or five miles. ”
"How do you know. A big man behind Chen Sheng asked in surprise.
Indeed, when they approached the vicinity of Lushan City, there were no fierce beasts and monsters around them to attack them, and they thought it was their luck that they didn't encounter fierce beasts. Now it seems that things may not be what they thought to be at all.
"That's because those fierce beasts and monsters don't dare to approach Lushan City at all. The old man shook his head and said.
"Isn't that great? Then the whole city should be safe. How could everyone be like this. Some people said puzzled.
"You're thinking too simply. The reason why those fierce beasts and monsters didn't dare to approach was because there were even more terrifying and terrifying monsters here. Let those monsters not dare to enter the area of Lushan City. ”
The old man said with fear on his face, and his voice trembled.
Chen Sheng's heart was shocked, and he immediately knew that this time they were afraid that they would be in big trouble, and it might be more dangerous than in the Xiongnu camp before.
"What kind of monster, so powerful, I think there are more than 100,000 people in the city, are you still afraid that the monster will not succeed? ”
Someone said with some disbelief.
The population of this Lushan city is not quite large at all.
People can be seen everywhere, but most of them have a look of despair on their faces.
Moreover, in the city, there are residents who originally had in Lushan City, and there are also people who later gathered in the city, people of all dynasties and generations, there are differences in dress, and you can even see a lot of people with short hair and urban dress, which looks no different from modern people. But the despair and fear that emanate from them are equally intense. Even for changes in the outside world, changes in one's own situation, and acceptance ability, it is inferior to the ancients.
These are modern people from many fantasy worlds. Compared with the ancients, the number can only be regarded as a small part.
Even if many modern people ask themselves that their thinking is more advanced than that of the ancients, it is useless.
But here, there is no electricity, no mobile phones, no guns, even if you stand on the commanding heights of thought, but in the troubled times, you are facing fierce beasts and monsters, all kinds of dangers. You have eloquence, you have ambition. But you don't have the strength, who are you fooling?
In troubled times, the strong can dominate everything and have prestige, only lip service. It's useless at all, compared to strength, the strong men in ancient times are simply crushing compared to those white-collar workers who are already in a sub-healthy state in the city.
Most of those people can't pick up their shoulders and can't walk on their legs.
Especially in Lushan City, it's like a nightmare.
"You can't deal with it, there's no way to fight it. It's a monster. ”
When the old man heard this, there was a look of fear in his eyes.
The thought of that monster made me tremble. The face returns to a dead gray color.
Obviously, there was no hope of escaping at all.
"You accept your fate, that monster has blocked the entire Lushan City, as long as anyone dares to escape, they will be eaten by that monster immediately. Moreover, every day, the monster would choose humans from the city to be devoured by blood. Dozens of people will die in a day, but as long as they don't escape, unless it's time for the monster to eat, otherwise, there is no danger, there are granaries in the city, and the grain in the granaries, as long as you save food, can support for a long time. ”
The old man shook his head and said, then walked towards a clearing, leaned against the wall, and stared blankly at the sky.
When Chen Sheng and the others heard this, their faces showed an inexplicable fear and disbelief.
No one thought that they were very happy to see a city before, thinking that they would have a place to settle in the future, but now it seems that they have walked into a ghost gate. Himself personally delivered to the mouth of the monster.
"I don't believe it, it's bullshit, I don't believe it, there really is any beast monster that can trap the whole city. People can't leave, are monsters still so smart? Didn't we come in safely? I'm going to go out and see if the monster knows. ”
One of the people who followed Chen Sheng suddenly let out a loud shout.
I was already hunted and chased by fierce beasts, and I was angry in my heart, but now when I entered the city, I even encountered this situation, and it broke out all of a sudden. Furious, he didn't even think about it, turned around and walked towards the gate of the city before him.
Brush!!
As soon as he moved, the eyes of many people in the city couldn't help but focus on him.
Obviously, this kind of move is unexpected. But there is a joy to see.
For some people, Chen Sheng even felt a little happy about their arrival, after all, that monster only eats a dozen people a day, and if outsiders arrive, this probability and risk can be shared. Maybe it won't be your turn. Maybe you can live a few more days and wait for the turnaround.
The man was very fast, and he went straight through the hole in the city gate and came to the outside of the city gate. looked like he was going to leave Lushan City.
Brush!!
But the moment the man left the city gate and stepped on the land outside, he saw that the ground under the man had cracked a pitch-black hole without warning, and before he could react, the man fell directly into it. There was only time for a terrible scream, and then the original hole was blocked by the soil again and disappeared. The ground is still the ground.
Soil is still soil.
But a person disappears so easily.
You can know that the man can't live anymore.
Sizzle!!
When Chen Sheng and the others saw it, they couldn't help but gasp on the spot, this kind of picture is really terrifying. A big living person was buried in the ground and disappeared. Life is so fragile.
"See. Once you're in, don't even think about going out. To go out is to die, and you don't know what the monster is, and as soon as you leave, the ground will suddenly crack, bringing you underground, and you will never come back. ”
The old man shook his head and sighed.
Not only outside the city, but also inside the city, there is a possibility that there will be holes in the ground at any time, swallowing people in, anyway, more than a dozen people are pulled into the ground every day, and they die like this.
This has been going on for a long time.
"This is to raise the people in the city as pigs and sheep, come and grab a few to eat when they are hungry, and guard them so that no one can leave, this city has been treated as fish and meat on the board by the monsters in the dark. ”
Chen Sheng's face was solemn.
He definitely didn't want to die in the mouth of a monster here, he had to escape, or kill that monster, it might be difficult to kill a monster, but he was absolutely unwilling to be trapped here and wait for death like this.
But if you want to fight with the fierce beast, Chen Sheng has no bottom in his heart. Those monsters are too powerful, whether it is strength or something else, they are too much beyond ordinary humans, and if they fight head-on, he is sure that he will definitely die.
"If only there was some way to become strong, there are fierce beasts in this world, why don't there be those cultivators. ”
Chen Sheng secretly smiled bitterly.
Just when Chen Sheng was secretly pondering and thinking about a strategy, suddenly, an old beggar in the city suddenly walked towards Chen Sheng. looked at him, grinned and showed a mouth full of yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "This brother, it's amazing, it's really amazing." ”
"What do you mean by what the old man said? ”
Chen Sheng was awakened by the words, looked at the old beggar in front of him, frowned and asked. and did not drive away because he was a beggar.
"Look at the little brother's head and horns, luck condensation, like a stick, although it is dirty now, but it is promising, so that once you gain power, you must not immediately turn into a dragon pillar, and a body of horizontal muscles and bones, if you get the best exercises, you must not fly immediately. One flew to the horizon. ”
The old beggar looked at Chen Sheng with a smile and said.
"You old beggar, you've got the wrong person to beg for food, and we don't even have a grain of rice. Someone behind Chen Sheng directly scolded.
"Don't worry, listen to what this old man has to say. Chen Sheng stretched out his hand to stop and said: "Although Sheng has the heart to do things for the people, this world is too difficult, and there is no way to find superior exercises." How to cultivate, how to become stronger. In his words, he was full of emotion.
"This little brother doesn't need to worry, you see. This "Book of Immortality of a Hundred Tribulations" will solve all your problems. With it, you'll be able to soar into the sky. The old beggar grinned, took out a book of good-looking exercises, and said.
That exercise, glowing with treasure, is extraordinary at first glance.
"I don't have any money. ”
When Chen Sheng saw it, endless longing was instantly born in his heart. I can't wait to snatch the exercises out of the old beggar's hands. But he didn't do it.
"What treasure do you have, take it out and see. ”
The old beggar said with a smile.
His eyes looked at Chen Sheng's arms.
"All I have is this bead. Don't know what to do. ”
Chen Sheng took out a glass bead from his bosom that didn't look like it. But there are two golden five-pointed stars on it.
