Chapter 303: The Fallen City
Zhang Yue walked alone on the barren land, although he could also fly, but flying in the Netherworld would cost too much mana, and it was not worth it if it was not an emergency.
I didn't see any plants along the way, and the land was black, not the kind of fertile black soil, but soaked in thick and thick black oil, which was the result of long-term erosion by the Yin Qi.
There is no sun or stars in the Netherworld, and there is no day or night, and the sky is always dark, with a faint light that comes from nowhere.
The whole world is like the sun has set, but there is still the last trace of afterglow, which is about to sink into the deepest night.
After traveling three thousand miles, a small hill appeared in front of him, like a broken porcelain plate upside down on the dark earth, the mountain was gray, and the contrast with the dark earth was clear.
Using the spell of shrinking the ground into a ruler, Zhang Yue reached this hill in half a minute.
"Just take a break here and study the next route. Zhang Yue decided.
The crane feather sword flew out, and after a while, a hole was carved out in the mountain, the cave room was not large, only about one zhang, and it was enough as a place to stay.
Unexpectedly, the color of the wall of the cave is as white as jade, and there is a warmth to the touch.
"It seems that the gray outside the mountain was eroded by the aura of the underworld, wasn't this mountain originally here?"
Zhang Yue curiously leaned out his divine sense.
The results of the divine consciousness feedback surprised Zhang Yue.
"It's not a natural mountain, it's a city hidden inside! ”
The space inside Shifeng was supposed to be a city that could live tens of thousands of people, with a wide hall, honeycomb-like caves and dense connecting passages, I don't know what happened, maybe it was a very serious earthquake, Shifeng collapsed, and the internal space was all buried by rubble.
Judging from some of the remaining utensils, the city should have been inhabited by the human race, and Zhang Yue did not find the bones, so it seems that the city was abandoned on its own initiative.
"It's a miracle that there are human cities in the Netherworld. ”
Zhang Yue's interest was even greater, and his divine sense repeatedly glanced at it, gradually outlining more details of the city.
The pinnacle is the shell of the city, and it is true that it was not originally in this place, it fell from the sky. Where the pinnacle meets the ground, there are very obvious impact marks.
This is a city flying in the air, no wonder people can survive in it, the aura of the underworld is mainly in the strata, and it is much thinner in the sky, plus the barrier of the outer wall of the stone peak, the people in the city will not be eroded by the aura of the underworld into a monster that is not a ghost or a ghost.
As for the reason for the fall of the city, it is not clear, perhaps the inhabitants of the city knew that it was going to fall, so they abandoned this place and moved to another place en masse.
"The vitality of human beings is really tenacious, I originally thought that it was amazing enough that there were human races reproducing in the earth's spiritual domain, but it turned out that there were also in the underworld, and a floating city was developed. ”
I don't know if there is such a city that can fly, but if you come across it by the way, you can go up and visit it.
Zhang Yue sighed for a while, and then put this matter down, he had a task on his body, and he would not go out of his way to find this kind of floating city.
Bring up the map of the Netherworld in the Divine Mind, which you received when you accepted the quest.
The Netherworld is extremely vast, and it stands to reason that finding the monks of the Nine Netherlands Sect in it is almost the same as looking for a needle in a haystack, but what the monks of the Nine Netherlands Sect specially came to collect is not an ordinary ghost, it is the kind of ghost that has condensed a large amount of Yin and Netherworld Qi and has been solidified.
This kind of ghost can only appear in places where the aura of the underworld is very strong, and although these places are not too few in the underworld, they are definitely not too many to find. In addition, if the monks of the Nine Shadows Sect want to capture the ghosts, they often have to set up formations, and even have to wait for the rabbit for a long time, the ghosts are very cunning, and they hide in the nest when something is wrong, and even the monks of the Nine Shadows Sect can't help them.
"There are one hundred and six locations on the map, and I only need to explore more than twenty in three months to complete the mission. If you find a location on the map that doesn't have a place where you can condense the ghosts, one can be worth two. ”
After the investigation is completed, it is necessary to record it with divine thoughts, and to turn it in when you go back, lest anyone come in and find a place to hide for three months, and go out and say that you have not encountered any enemies.
A curved curve appeared on the map in the Divine Sense, connecting twenty locations in series.
"Just along this route, there should be little chance of encountering those two Chiyang Sect cultivators. ”
Just after planning the route, Zhang Yue's eyebrows moved, and someone was coming towards Shi Feng.
In the vast black plain, three people wearing white cloaks and stepping on something like skis were moving towards the stone peak.
"Goshawk flying city! work hard, you can rest when you get there!"
At the head was an old man with gray hair, who said happily when he saw the outline of the gray stone peak that appeared in the distance in the faint light of the sky.
Behind him were a pair of young girls, their faces wrapped in a thick cloth, revealing only a pair of smart and childish eyes. The mouths of the two girls did not show out, and when they heard the old man's words, they nodded heavily and strengthened their feet.
The soil that had been eroded by the Yin Qi for a long time was soft and greasy, and the smooth board was several feet on it, and the three of them were getting closer and closer to the stone peak.
Zhang Yue's divine sense could see it clearly, and he even "heard" the old man's words.
"The three of them are not monks, they look like people living in the Netherworld, they are repelled by the Netherworld Qi, and the aura is thin, so it is impossible for them to become monks. ”
The standard of a monk is the congenital stage, although the environment of the earth spiritual domain is harsh, but the aura, especially the earth aura, is not lacking, so it can produce a monk, but the yin and underworld is not good, with the barren aura here at most can be cultivated to the peak of the refining period, that is, the realm of the great martial arts master on this star.
"That old man is a martial arts master, and the two girls are equivalent to intermediate martial artists, and they seem to be twins. ”
Of course, a thick layer of cloth could not block Zhang Yue's divine sense, and the faces of the two girls were exactly the same.
"When they come, they can inquire about the situation here, maybe they know some netherworld that is not on the map. Zhang Yue made up his mind, these three people were no threat to him, and a chance encounter on the way might be able to get some news, or maybe it would be good to hear the stories of local residents.
It seemed that it would take a while for the three of them to come over, and Zhang Yue sat in the stone room and began to breathe and condense the true yuan. His body glowed with five-colored brilliance, reflected on the white stone wall like a rainbow, flickering and darkening.
