Monarch of Evernight: Sixty-Six Dead City

bsp;Qianye listened attentively for a while, but there was no movement. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly and cautiously walked into the door.

However, the scene before him made him frown involuntarily.

The rooms and halls are very large and empty, without any furniture or decorations. The entire first floor was empty, there was nothing, even the walls were covered with exposed rocks.

There is also mist everywhere in the building. Standing at the door of the slightly larger room, the wall on the other end will be a little blurry.

Qianye walked to the foot of the wide double-spiral escalator and looked up. It was quiet everywhere. He climbed up the stairs, and the second and third floors were all the same, without any trace of residence or life. When Qianye stood on the third floor, he could no longer hear any sound from the first floor.

He looked out from the floor-to-ceiling windows without curtains. Wherever he looked, there was mist everywhere, and only the outlines of the large buildings across the street could be vaguely seen.

Such a wet gray mist, the feeling that the world seemed to be confined to the feet, reminded Qianye of something. His heart suddenly beat heavily, that dream! After getting the crystal fragment from Baron Darul, and when entering the Falling Star Mountains, I heard a voice in my dreams twice!

Qianye thought for a moment and quietly went downstairs. He then entered several buildings and saw empty rooms, unable to find anything of value. Regardless of the size of the building, there are no exceptions.

At this time, Qianye suddenly felt uneasy and irritable in his heart, and his heartbeat became faster. He was startled, then realized the source of his uneasiness.

The whole city was so quiet that I could only hear my own footsteps. In this extremely silent environment, all small sounds were continuously amplified, and eventually, the sounds of heartbeat and blood flow were clearly audible. Walking alone in such a city, it seems like I am the only one left in the world. This loneliness gradually became overwhelming.

Qianye took a deep breath and thought hard to relax his tense nerves.

This city is not small. The scale seen from the outside can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people. However, although the streets and buildings are well preserved, there is no trace of any living creatures. It was so clean, no trash, no dust, not even metal rust.

Time seemed to freeze at the moment when the new city was built.

Fortunately, the original wings were not blocked by the mist, and they could still sense the location of the True Eyes. But this is also what confuses Qianye. The Eye of Truth seems to be constantly changing its position. Every time you get closer, the direction you perceive next time will be different.

And no matter whether his pace is fast or slow, the position of the Eye of True Sight will be erratic at the next moment. It may get farther away or suddenly get closer. It seems that its movement is random and has no rules at all.

After discovering this, Qianye stopped trying to catch up with the Eye of True Sight. He casually walked into a building next to him and sat on the floor, breathing carefully to regain his strength while thinking about the predicament in front of him.

In this city filled with mist, Qianye had actually lost his way. After following the guidance of the Original Wings and turning around, he suddenly found that he could not even tell the location of the city. Every building and street around us has a similar appearance. Although there may be differences in details, it is difficult to find eye-catching reference objects when the field of vision is limited.

After Qianye discovered this problem, he once tried to leave marks on the building. But this is actually a bad idea, because he has two enemies chasing him, and more enemies are sure to appear. Once the mark left behind is seen through, it is equivalent to exposing one's whereabouts.

However, the enemy was still unknown, and Qianye was shocked to discover another strange thing about the city. Whatever marks he left behind would slowly disappear in the fog. He even used his Crimson Fang to carve a scratch that was several centimeters deep on the metal decorative pattern on the wall, and then watched helplessly as the scratch slowly flattened out until it disappeared.

Unknowingly, Qianye completed a round of force movement, and the full force of dawn flowed through his blood, making him feel refreshed. Qianye pushed all distracting thoughts out of his mind, opened his backpack, and began to check his equipment and items one by one. Even the twin flowers were taken apart and maintained.

Then he lay down, closed his eyes, and silently counted from one to a thousand as a way of enforcing rest. When the count reached one thousand, Qianye jumped up, drew the sword in his hand, and walked out of the room.

Since we can’t find the Eye of True Sight, we can’t see through the secrets of the empty dead city, and we can’t even leave this city, then at least there is one thing we can do right now, which is to kill the enemies following behind us. Lose.

In an environment like this, if you do nothing, you will quickly descend into madness. But all that can be done now seems to be killing.

At this time, dozens of vampires and Li family soldiers headed by Li Zhan gathered outside the city. As expected, their landing points when entering this space were different, but no matter what kind of terrain they came out from, they all saw the city standing in the wilderness.

Several vampire viscounts looked solemn and slightly hesitant. It's not because there are still missing people among the companions, but the silent city in front of them is obviously the core of space, the most likely place to store the treasure of Anduya's black-winged king.

However, it is not so easy to enter the palace of the terrifying Black Winged King.

If you look carefully, you can see that the viscounts are all covered in a faint blood light, and it is obvious that their blood power is running all the time. From time to time, a few wisps of faint white mist would appear in the void and fall on them, neutralized by the blood light. The viscounts were under the pressure of this restriction when they passed through the space gate. Afterwards, the journey was uneventful. They thought the crisis was over, but they did not expect that the restriction was triggered again just by standing at the city gate.

After standing quietly for several minutes, a viscount said: "Let's go in, we don't have much time." As he said that, he glanced at Li Zhan.

The viscounts looked at each other with helpless and bitter expressions, and nodded.

The strength of that human being is not inferior to any of the viscounts present, but it cannot be seen from Li Zhan's rigid face whether he is also under the pressure of space restrictions. If the viscounts do not enter the city out of fear, so that If the Maharaja's treasure falls into human hands, the consequences will be worse than death.

The vampire and human warriors filed in and were immediately engulfed by the city's mist.

Qianye walked on the deserted streets. He now lost both his direction and the concept of time. If it weren't for the support of the goal of ambush the enemy, perhaps the restlessness in my heart would have increased exponentially.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but Qianye has the illusion that he can reach the end of the world just like this. He passed another street corner and suddenly stopped and listened. There was still no sound, but the inexplicable trembling feeling before the battle indicated that something was approaching.

Qianye immediately calmed down and quickly leaned against the wall, waiting.

A vampire warrior rushed out of the mist, bowed down, with a long sword in one hand and a short spear in the other. He was on full alert, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

When Qianye saw him clearly, the vampire warrior also saw Qianye at the same time. The distance between the two was less than ten meters.

The vampire warrior reacted very quickly, roared, advanced instead of retreating, and attacked with all his strength. At this distance, it is too late to shoot, so close combat requires a first move.

It just so happened that Qianye thought so too.

Qianye's body slightly arched, and he suddenly exerted force, rushing towards the vampire warrior like a cannonball. The two of them immediately collided head-on.

With a bang, the Vampire Warrior flew backwards, and a cold light flashed in Qianye's hand. In fact, the Crimson Fang had already struck three times.

The vampire warrior flew more than ten meters and hit the building across the street hard. Then he slowly slipped and fell to the ground. He could no longer stand up. Blood continued to spread from under him.

Qianye walked up to the vampire warrior who had gradually stopped breathing, and was about to look through his belongings. However, when he reached halfway, he retracted his hand with lightning speed.

Under this vampire warrior, blood was still gushing out, but when it spread to one meter away, it gradually disappeared. The streets were paved with boulders, and the surface was polished as smooth as a mirror. Even the seams were barely visible. How could blood seep in so easily?

At this moment, the body of the lifeless vampire warrior moved.

He originally fell against the wall, leaving a shocking blood trail on the wall. But now, right in front of Qianye's eyes, the body slowly sank into the wall and the ground.

It didn't take long for the vampire warrior's body to be completely swallowed up, leaving not even a trace of blood on the ground or walls. In this world, there is no trace to prove that this vampire warrior once existed.

In an instant, Qianye felt creepy.

This deserted and dead city had quietly revealed its ferocious side just now.

Qianye slowly squatted down and reached out to touch the ground. Right here, there was a pool of blood just now. But now, there are only cold stone bricks at the tentacles.

Qianye stood up, let out a breath, held the Crimson Fang in his hand, and walked in a random direction.

After walking two blocks this time, a small square appeared in front of me. The fog seemed to be relatively thin in the open area, so a dark shadow appeared faintly. Qianye was very familiar with this figure, it was Li Zhan who had been attacked by him in a sneak attack.

Qianye has been concentrating his breath, and now he is deliberately controlling his feet and hands not to make any sound. He slowly pulls out the twin flowers with his left hand and points to the back in front of him.

The moment Qianye pulled the trigger, Li Zhan seemed to feel something. He suddenly took a step forward, then turned around like the wind, and fired the gun like lightning. He raised his hand and fired.

The crimson force bullet almost grazed Li Zhan's chest, and at the same time that Li Zhan turned around, Qianye also moved out of the way in an instant, also avoiding Li Zhan's shot.

The two empty bullets entered the fog, maybe they hit the building, maybe they didn't, but they didn't make any sound anyway.

The two people facing each other couldn't pay attention to such weird details, and their attention was entirely on each other.

Li Zhan looked at Qianye, his expression solemn at first, then he smiled ferociously and said, "I finally caught you."
