Chapter Thirty-Nine: The City of Death
"Is this the City of the Dead? It looks no different from the mortal world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Nie Xiaoqian looked around with some curiosity.
There are countless legends of the city of vain death in the mortal world, but when you really get here, you feel that it is ordinary and looks like a city in the world.
The straight bluestone street, which was empty, filled with a faint white mist, had a narrow field of vision, and was lined with courtyards of houses made of brown bricks on both sides, and the wooden gate was closed, and the blue-gray lantern hung in the doorway, and the dim light could only illuminate the two feet in front of the door.
"Why are there so few dead ghosts?" Nie Xiaoqian was a little strange.
There are many natural disasters and man-made disasters in the sun, and it stands to reason that there should be a lot of ghosts who died in vain, and when I first came in, I saw the ghosts of the dead at the gate of the city one after another, but at this time I arrived in the city of death, but it was dead and silent, and there was not even a shadow of a ghost.
"This should be the deeper part of the city, and those newcomers shouldn't have arrived yet. But what about the old dead ghosts? Are they all in the house? It's kind of weird!"
Jiang Hao came to this kind of place for the first time in his two lives, and he jumped into the air to see it clearly, but as soon as he flew up only two feet high, he felt that his body sank, and the whole person fell down with a bang.
His feet hit the bluestone floor, making a dull sound, which was particularly loud in this silent environment.
"Brother Jiang, what's going on?" Nie Xiaoqian asked.
"It should be a ban left by the previous underworld, restricting the ghosts in the dead city from entering and leaving at will. ā
Jiang Hao's eyes flashed, his eyes were full of mana, he raised his head, looked around, and suddenly found that the city of vain death was covered with countless mana threads and runes, especially in the sky above the city, dense prohibitions gathered together, as if a big bowl was upside down on the city of vain death.
"On the surface, this vain city is a city in the underworld specially inhabited by ghosts who have died by unjustified disasters, so that the ghosts of vain death have a place to live when their lives are not exhausted and they cannot be reincarnated. In fact, it is because the ghosts who died in vain were angry and resentful, and they could not be reincarnated, and it was troublesome everywhere, so the underworld deliberately built this city of vain death, and arranged many restrictions, to put it bluntly, it was a prison for the ghosts who died unjustly. Those vain ghosts come and go in the city at will, and don't even think about sacrifices and money......"
Some things are not a secret in the mortal world, but they are nothing among the monsters, Jiang Hao was talking to Nie Xiaoqian about the city of vain death, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps.
Click, click......
Between the steps, there was a stabbing and stabbing sound of rubbing, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the city......
"Who is it?" Jiang Hao looked up, and at the corner of the street, a huge figure gradually appeared in the mist.
The body is more than five meters tall, but the head is very small, it looks extraordinarily uncoordinated, skinny, but the stomach is protruding as if she is pregnant, there is a hole on it, the liver and intestines are going to overflow, the five fingers of the radish thickness are blood scale, and from time to time they will reach into the stomach, take out the greasy fat intestine and stuff it into their mouths, chew it in a big gulp, and make bursts of chirps in the throat.
"What is this, what is this?" Nie Xiaoqian has seen a lot of ghosts, but they are all human-like, at most they are zombie skeletons, where have I seen such an ugly ghost, I am a little afraid.
"A starving ghost, don't pay attention to it! Let's go to the center of the city and take a look at it, first find the city lord's mansion and take over this dead city. Jiang Hao also felt a little disgusted, glanced at it, then turned his gaze over, and spoke.
They didn't want to pay attention to the starving ghost, but the hungry ghost clearly didn't think so.
The moment he saw Jiang Hao and the two of them, the starving ghost's dull eyes suddenly changed, the green eyes were full of greedy and hideous appetite, the scarlet blood flashed, and the intestines in his hand fell to the ground and didn't care, he rushed towards the two of them, and made an unknown sound in his mouth.
The huge body ran up, and the footsteps clanged.
With the deafening sound of footsteps, the doors of the houses on both sides of the street opened one after another.
Countless ghosts who died in vain appeared on the streets and alleys, because the cause of death was different, and the looks were different, some died from the exposed liver and intestines on the battlefield, some died with long tongues and hanging down their chests, some died with big bellies, some drowned with iron faces, and some burned blood blisters all over the body......
But they all just stood there, without making the slightest sound, their heads shook a little stiffly, and their dull eyes looked at Jiang Hao and Nie Xiaoqian.
It was as silent as ever, and the air was instantly oppressive and terrifying.
"Brother Jiang, this ......"
Nie Xiaoqian's scalp was numb when she was stared at, and she leaned on Jiang Hao's side tremblingly.
Jiang Hao's brows also furrowed slightly, not that he was worried, even if these lonely ghosts came ten times more, they couldn't stop him from a mouthful of thunder, what made him wonder was how dare these vain ghosts make a move against him.
Looking carefully at these vain ghosts, Jiang Hao suddenly found that there was a scarlet blood color in the depths of their pupils, and one or more shadows were reflected in the blood, where they were miserable and wailing and screaming.
"No, these are not vain ghosts, these are evil ghosts! The old demon of Montenegro has raised so many evil ghosts, without the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, the demon kings of this world are really unscrupulous!"
Vain ghosts refer to ghosts who have not been fated and have suffered unjustified disasters and died, and they are essentially ordinary ghosts, just because of a tragic death, with resentment on their bodies, but they are not too aggressive in themselves.
But demons are a different story.
Demons usually devour other ghosts, and the resentment in their bodies is condensed, just like ordinary people in the mortal world and murderers, with a completely different degree of ferocity.
You can be reincarnated if you have exhausted the number of dead ghosts, but unless the evil ghost is overdosed, the resentment will not disappear, and it is impossible to be reincarnated.
And in this vain city, the dense ghosts turned out to be evil ghosts that could not be reincarnated, it could only be that the old demon of Montenegro forced the dead ghosts to kill each other in order to strengthen his strength, and forcibly transformed them into evil ghosts.
Seeing that the starving ghost was about to rush to the design, Jiang Hao's eyes flashed, and a golden light burst out, shooting on the starving ghost's body, and was directly split into pieces by it, leaving only a wisp of yin qi slowly floating out.
The scattered soul of the starving ghost did not deter the surrounding evil spirits, on the contrary, the wisps of yin qi floating from his body were like a fuse, causing the scarlet greedy light in the eyes of the evil ghosts to flicker continuously.
The entire city of the Dead seemed to come to life in an instant, and countless evil spirits rushed into the streets from the houses and pounced on the wisps of yin left behind by the starving ghosts.
Once you have the experience of devouring your own kind, it is like taking poison and products and can never stop, which is why the hell has always treated evil spirits to make their souls fly away.
Even if it is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, there is really no way.
There is only one wisp of yin qi, but there are countless evil ghosts.
The battle broke out in an instant.
The ferocious and brutal aura seemed to be contagious, spreading from here to the entire Vain Death City, and a moment later, the Five Hundred Miles Vain Death City was plunged into a scuffle.
Many of the new vain ghosts in the human city were torn to pieces before they could react, and the few who successfully resisted were also harassed by resentment, completely transformed into evil ghosts, and turned into even more ferocious and devoted themselves to killing.
"Let's go, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion and have a look!" Jiang Hao naturally wouldn't be kind, after such a Gu-like fight, all that remained were the most ferocious evil ghosts, which was just right for him to cultivate the Soul Eater Ghost.
Nie Xiaoqian snorted and followed closely behind Jiang Hao, surrounded by demons who seemed to be crazy, and she was terrified.
Some of the red-eyed ones rushed towards Jiang Hao, but they were hit by Jiang Hao's mana in an instant, and they were scattered.
After killing a lot, the other evil ghosts also had eyesight, and when they saw Jiang Hao coming, they were busy avoiding it, and some of them fell to the ground in panic, and they also moved their bodies, desperately trying to dodge.
Walking in the midst of the killing, Jiang Hao left a gap of more than five meters wide around him.
