Chapter 266 The Lost City
Before dawn, the road to the lost city will appear?
Zhao Chenghuang first suppressed other information, looked at the full moon in the sky, and sensed the changes in the power of the moon.
After the sun sets, the night falls. At this time, the power of the moon is the thinnest. At midnight, the power of the moon reaches its peak and then begins to decline.
As a spirit of the night, the Night Wanderer can infer the time according to the strength of the moon.
Of course, this requires an experienced Night Wanderer who has been trained in this area and remembers the strength of the moon in different time periods.
Some Night Wanderers with little experience do not have this ability.
It is now one o'clock in the morning. Zhao Chenghuang sensed for a few seconds and made an accurate judgment.
At this time, he heard Yuanshi Tianzun, who was not far away, say:
"What time is it now? I feel it is two o'clock in the morning."
Sure enough, he is a rookie who has just become a Night Wanderer. No matter how strong his combat power is, the details expose the fact that his foundation is shallow! Zhao Chenghuang thought.
Sun Miaomiao frowned her delicate and beautiful eyebrows and said:
"No, no, it's eleven o'clock in the evening."
The judgment of the strength of the Taiyin force was correct. The Yin energy at eleven o'clock and one o'clock in the morning was equal, but it was the opposite. Elder Sun's training of Miaomiao was not enough. Zhao Chenghuang shook his head.
"I think it's two o'clock in the morning." Yuan Ting said.
Outrageous! This guy hasn't stayed in the training camp long enough. Zhao Chenghuang glanced at him, and said in a flat tone and a cold expression:
"It's one o'clock in the morning now."
After speaking, Zhao Chenghuang saw Yuanshi Tianzun, Sun Miaomiao, and Yuan Ting walked away silently.
"This guy is not right."
"That's right, it's clearly two o'clock in the morning now."
"Don't play with him."
Zhao Chenghuang's mouth twitched, he took a deep breath, looked at the people in the open space, and said:
"It's one o'clock in the morning, it's still early for dawn, we need to get enough rest before entering the Lost City. Except for the Night Wandering God and the Earth Monster, the rest of the people rest in the open space.
"If there are Night Wandering Gods and Earth Monsters who have consumed too much physical energy, you can report to me."
He arranged the patrol and guard work in an orderly manner, just like a leader.
The spiritual realm walkers in the mountain god camp took a look at Yuanshi Tianzun who was sitting on the stone and didn't care about anything, and then obeyed Zhao Chenghuang's instructions, resting when they should rest, and patrolling when they should patrol.
The island JK Asano Ryo came over with a long sword and whispered:
"Yuanshi Tianzun, you have been deprived of power. "
Zhang Yuanqing squinted at her: "You should call me "Master Yuanshi Tianzun." "
Asano Ryo whispered:
"Master Yuanshi Tianzun, your power has been taken away. That Zhao Chenghuang wants to take away your position as leader. Why do you let him plot against your will? Everyone obviously supports you!"
Zhang Yuanqing nodded with a serious expression:
"What you said makes sense. Then, Liangjiang, please be sure to assassinate this bastard for me."
"Ah? "Asano Ryo's pure and beautiful face froze, and he stammered, "I, I can't beat him."
Guan Ya on the side was speechless. This island girl was not stupid, and even a little smart, but she was too naive.
Guan Ya taught:
"Didn't you notice that no matter what Zhao Chenghuang said, everyone would subconsciously ask Yuanshi for his opinion. Only when he didn't object, Zhao Chenghuang's words would work.
"If that's the case, why would you have to clash with Zhao Chenghuang over such a small matter? Besides, Yuanshi doesn't like to care about these trivial matters. With Zhao Chenghuang around, he's happy to save trouble."
Asano Ryo thought about it seriously and suddenly realized:
"Oh, this is what my father often taught me, political balance."
"What political balance?" The red-haired girl came over and joined the chat with great interest: "Isn't political balance about killing all political enemies?"
While the three girls were chattering, Zhang Yuanqing opened the scoreboard:
[1: Yuanshi Tianzun, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 508 points]
[2: Ayi, Witch Master, Level 3, 230 points]
[3 : I am the only one, Water Ghost, Level 3, 225 points]
[4: Zhao Chenghuang, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 220 points]
[5: No Taboos, Bewitching Monster, Level 3, 215 points]
[6: Sun Miaomiao, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 213 points]
[7: Jiang Jingwei, Fire Master, Level 3, 200 points]
[8: Nine Leaky Fish, Scout, Level 3, 190 points]
[9: Trampling the Sky, Witch Master, Level 3, 180 points]
[10: My Destiny is in My Hands, Illusionist, Level 3, 138 points]
Except for the second and third places, the top ten rankings have changed greatly, with Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao and Jiang Jingwei reaching the top seven.
The ranking of the top 24 has undergone earth-shaking changes. In the list of 11-24, the Mountain God camp occupies 10 and the Mountain Ghost camp occupies 4.
Guan Ya also rushed to 20th place.
As long as she can maintain this ranking, it will not be a problem for her to be promoted to a saint.
"Try to let these people who follow me rank in the top 24. Otherwise, they will either give up the promotion to saints or participate in the killing dungeon at the end of the year."
"Kou Beiyue's ranking is a bit low, 42nd. As for him, it doesn't matter if he is promoted to a saint. The most important thing is to save this guy's life."
"As long as I kill Ayi and Weiwoduzun, I can be on par with the Demon Lord and the female marshal."
However, these two are both top-notch strongmen. Zhang Yuanqing still has some confidence in fighting alone, but in a team battle, the uncertainty factors increase dramatically, and it is too difficult to kill them.
The top five players in the kill list have the highest points, but those who can squeeze into the top five are not rookies.
The Demon Lord killed almost all the official personnel at the beginning. He must have been a traitor and cooperated with the evil profession to achieve this.
Otherwise, the Demon Lord's points would not be more than 900, but more than 1,000, or even 2,000.
In fact, based on the points, the specific combat power of the Demon Lord and the female marshal in the extraordinary realm can be evaluated.
Zhang Yuanqing believes that they will not be much stronger than himself.
It is worth mentioning that the total number of people on the scoreboard is 60.
The ratio of the number of mountain ghosts and mountain gods is about 1:2.
Zhang Yuanqing closed the scoreboard and poked Guan Ya's waist with his elbow: "Sister Guan Ya, give me your thigh as a pillow."
Guan Ya: "Go away!"
Zhang Yuanqing: "If you don't give it to me, I'll go find the Peony Fairy."
Guan Ya glared at him.
Zhang Yuanqing rested his head on the round and soft thigh, and he was not rejected.
From the ambush in the maze to the single-handedly fighting the mountain ghost camp, his spirit was attacked one after another, and his spirit was already exhausted, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, he was pushed awake by Guan Ya. The mixed-blood beauty handed him a bunch of wild fruits and said:
"It's almost dawn, eat something first.
"The Peony Fairy picked them in the forest, they are edible."
Zhang Yuanqing sat up with a dizzy head, took a few deep breaths, and after inhaling and exhaling enough oxygen, his brain became clearer.
He took the wild fruit handed by Guan Ya, ate it silently, and looked at his companions in the open space.
They either sat on the ground and yawned, or stood up and stretched their muscles. Because they all got a rest, they were full of energy and not tired.
"Pah! "
Zhang Yuanqing clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
People unconsciously put down their work and looked at the young man who jumped onto the stone.
Zhang Yuanqing stood on the stone and said loudly:
"Everyone, it will be dawn soon. We will go to the Lost City and have the final battle with the Mountain Ghost Camp. There is no doubt that this will be an extremely dangerous fight to the death.
"Everyone may die, including me. We are all experienced spiritual realm walkers who have already experienced the test of life and death. If we dare to enter the killing copy, we will have enlightenment.
"I hope that after entering the Lost City, everyone can unite as one, obey orders, and together become saints, facing a bright future. "
The crowd either remained silent or nodded slightly, not really enjoying it.
They have all reached their current status and level. Except for a few fools, most of them are old-timers, used to the big cakes painted by the leaders and drunk enough chicken soup for the soul.
They will not be excited and motivated just because of Zhang Yuanqing's simple words.
Zhang Yuanqing changed the subject and said:
"Perhaps for you, relying on your own strength to block the attack of the mountain ghost camp is a feat and a great thing, but for me, this is not the limit.
"I still have a lot of trump cards that I haven't used. Not to mention delaying for a while, even killing the mountain ghost camp is no problem. Killing one more person means one more quota, and for every extra quota, one of you can be promoted to a saint.
"But it's not enough to rely on my personal strength. It still depends on everyone. I say it again, obey orders and unite as one, understand. "
Hearing this, the eyes of all the travelers lit up.
Yuanshi Tianzun still has a trump card? The battle in the mountain temple is not his limit
"Understood!"
Everyone responded loudly, looking excited.
So, it is still useful to draw a big picture, it depends on how the leader draws it.
At the same time, Bai Wu Jin Ji stood on the stone, overlooking his companions, and said loudly:
"If it goes as expected, the rules of the Lost City will be very simple. There is no need to decrypt or explore. Strong confrontation is the only rule, and fighting is exactly what we are good at."
"All the trump cards of Yuanshi Tianzun have been used up. We know his methods very well. After a night of discussion, we have come up with a way to crack it.
"But what they don't know is that our trump cards have not yet been shown.
"How can the lawful professions compete with our free professions? They are all garbage.
"Without his trump card, how can Yuanshi Tianzun compete with us? He is also trash. Everyone, the Lost City is our chance to slaughter the lawful walkers. I have already smelled the sweetness and fragrance of blood. What about you?"
"Kill them all!"
The evil professions below were enthusiastic.
At this time, a ray of morning light shone from the eastern sky, the darkness retreated like a tide, and the sky was blue and hazy.
Dawn has arrived.
[Ding! The road to the Lost City has been opened, please arrive as soon as possible. ]
At this moment, all the spiritual realm walkers in the copy opened the map tacitly.
I saw a red route appearing in the vast primeval forest, leading to the basin in the center of the forest.
There is the Lost City.
After walking along the red road on the map for half an hour, the people in the Mountain God camp finally passed through the lush primeval forest, saw the blue sky, and saw the ruined city in front of them.
It was as if they had come to another world.
Although this world is also covered with a lot of vegetation.
In front of everyone, there is an elevated road with a broken bridge deck. The load-bearing columns stand alone, covered with moss, showing the traces of time and desolation.
Zhang Yuanqing and others looked beyond the elevated road, and in the distance there were broken buildings with exposed steel frames. Some of them collapsed, and some were riddled with holes under the erosion of time. Some were wrapped in clusters of green vines, and the hard concrete became the nutrient for the growth and extension of roots.
The straight road was full of cracks and mosses, and the moss provided the basis for the survival of weeds.
Vehicles were parked on the street in disorder, covered with gray and black rust, and weeds grew around the shriveled wheels.
Nature occupied everything.
"It's really shocking. It turns out that the city is like this after humans disappear." Sun Miaomiao said with emotion.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the second branch task, and you will be rewarded with 20 points. ]
Side quest 2 is to cross the vast forbidden forest and search for the lost city.
[Ding! Side quest 4: Unfinished sacrificial ceremony. ]
[Task description: A long time ago, a powerful evil cultivator sneaked into the human city. He controlled the creatures in the city and sacrificed the blood and souls of innocent creatures to the terrible existence in the dark, trying to gain more powerful power.
[The terrible existence in the dark responded to him and descended into reality. However, the meddling mountain god prevented all this. The mountain god condensed into a mountain with his flesh and blood, his hair into a forest, and his will into a brave mountain monkey, sealing the terrible existence in the blood pool.
[Time passed, and the long years loosened the seal. The corpse of the evil cultivator turned into a bloodthirsty monster. Driven by obsession, it stole four pieces of forest hearts. ]
[Task requirements: The blood pool is in the center of the city, surrounded by four formations. Please defeat the evil cultivator, take back the "Heart of the Forest" gem, and strengthen the seal. ]
As I expected, this level does not need to be decrypted. The mission objective clearly and straightforwardly states that the goal of the Mountain God camp is to take back the Heart of the Forest. Then the goal of the Mountain Ghost is to stop us?
The two camps are fighting over four "Hearts of the Forest"?
Zhang Yuanqing silently analyzed in his mind.
Everyone also remained silent, chewing and analyzing the content of the mission.
The soldier who crossed the river wearing camouflage military pants said:
"The situation is not favorable to us. The Mountain Ghost camp has the help of the evil cultivator, which is not optimistic."
Tianxia Guihuo said:
"That is not an evil cultivator, but a monster evolved from his obsession and corpse after his death. It should not be at its peak, at most at the early level of level 4. Then, the Mountain Ghost camp is at best, and it is equal to us in combat power."
The group followed the broken road and went deep into the ruins of the city.
As they walked along, they encountered elks, wild dogs, monkeys and other animals running around in the ruins of the city. When they saw strangers approaching, they fled and watched from a distance.
Just then, the Peony Fairy trembled her nose and said:
"There is a smell of blood"
As soon as she finished speaking, the people walking slowly forward had seen the scene in front of them. In the tall grass, a group of wild dogs were gnawing on a corpse.
The corpse had just died not long ago, and the blood had not yet dried.
Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrank slightly.
He knew the deceased, the spiritual realm ID "Justice in the Knife", the fourth-ranked witch and sorcerer on the list of casual cultivators, and even above "Seeing the Abalone in the Tube".
How could he die here?
Is there an internal conflict in the mountain ghost camp?
Jiang Jingwei ejected several fireballs to drive away the wild dogs gnawing on the corpse.
Everyone stepped forward, and the soldier squatted down and checked his body, then said:
"His neck was broken and his heart was taken out. Apart from that, there were no other wounds. He died very quickly, and he didn't even have time to transform into a poison. The person who attacked him was very powerful and terrifying."
Zhang Yuanqing's face was solemn:
"We all misunderstood. Side quest 4 is different from what we thought."
