Chapter 2007 Heading to the City of Fear

2007

"Can you beat them?" Cavendish asked.

"What do you think?" Xu Taiping asked with a half-smile.

"Surely," said Cavendish.

"I have never fought with them, but thinking about it, it should be no problem, but... there are not only ghost generals in the City of Fear, but also many other very powerful people. Even ghost generals can only stay in their respective areas. They play a supervisory role and cannot control the area they are in. Only the Ghost King has the power to order others. The Ghost King is the strongest person in the entire City of Fear. I have never seen the Ghost King and I don’t know his specific details. So, if possible, I suggest that we choose to enter the Ghost Temple during the day, to ensure that the Ghost King is not outside at that time, so it will be much easier for us to enter the sealed land. To be honest, I don’t want to be there Fight with the Ghost King in the City of Fear," Xu Taiping said.

"Well...Mr. Xu, I forgot to mention before, the best time to enter the Sealed Land is at twelve o'clock at night." Cavendish said with some embarrassment.

"Ah?" Xu Taiping looked at Cavendish in astonishment and said, "Say it again?"

"I checked the documents and found that the time to enter the Sealed Land is only between twelve and one o'clock in the evening. In other words, we can only enter the Ghost Temple at night." Cavendish said.

"You mean we can't avoid the Ghost King and the Ghost General, right?" Xu Taiping asked.

"To be precise, yes." Cavendish nodded.

"Very good, great!" Xu Taiping said with a thumbs up, "This feels great. I can face seventeen ghost generals and one ghost king at once!"

"It's not necessary to face them," Cavendish said.

"Oh? Why?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Because, I heard that in the past few days, the City of Fear seems to be re-electing the Ghost King. Whoever can defeat the Ghost King can become the master of the Ghost Temple, enter the Ghost Temple, and become the new Ghost King. If you go and If the Ghost King is defeated, the Ghost Temple will be yours, which means you only need to face one Ghost King!" Cavendish said.

"Is it just these few days?" Xu Taiping asked. He knew that the City of Fear would re-elect the Ghost King every once in a while. In a place like the City of Fear, whoever is stronger is qualified to challenge the Ghost King, but he did not I thought the time would be so coincidental, it happened to be in these few days.

"Yes, in the past few days, I arranged for people to enter the City of Fear in advance to find out the news. It is said that the Ghost King has killed three challengers in the past few days. Now no one challenges him. If there is still one in another day, If no one challenges him, he can continue to be the Ghost King, so we must go to the City of Fear today to defeat him before he is re-elected as the Ghost King," Cavendish said.

"Then I also have to stay in the City of Fear?" Xu Taiping asked with a frown.

"That's not necessary. After you disguise yourself, take down the Ghost King and live in the City of Fear. Then we will open the sealed land, take the God-Slaying Sword and leave. As long as you leave the City of Fear, what does it matter about the Ghost King? , since they no longer have a ghost king, they will naturally choose another one. They will not come out specially to capture you as the ghost king." Cavendish said.

"If you put it that way, this method might work!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "We'll see more details when we get there."

"Okay, anyway, just remember that the time to enter the sealed land is between twelve and one o'clock in the evening!" Cavendish said.

"Um!"

The train moved forward quickly, and a few hours later, the train entered a small Nordic city.

Later, Xu Taiping and others had changed their appearance, and they got out of the car together.

There was already a car waiting outside the train station. Xu Taiping and others got on the car together, and then headed further north.

In winter at this time, the further north you go, the colder the weather becomes and the more desolate it becomes.

It is more than a hundred kilometers from the train station to the City of Fear. After about fifty kilometers, there are no asphalt roads and are replaced by dirt roads.

Looking from the roadside, one can only see patches of mountains in the far distance, while nearby, it is desolate.

I don’t know when it started snowing outside the car window, and the wind started blowing.

The wind was not strong at first, but as we went further north, the wind became stronger and stronger.

The wind kept blowing against the windows, banging, and the wind blew in through some gaps in the car, making bursts of ghost-like sounds, which was very uncomfortable to hear.

The eldest cousin curled up nervously and said, "Why is the wind so weird in this place? Why does the wind make a sound?"

"This may have something to do with the terrain here." Xu Taiping looked out the window and said, "However, it may also have something to do with the ghosts here. After all, this is very close to the City of Fear. There is no guarantee that the ghosts from the City of Fear will fly here. Here it comes.”

"Brother Xu, don't be like this. If you say so, I will take the car back in a while." The eldest cousin said excitedly.

"However, this is indeed a huge market." Xu Taiping said seriously, "There are all kinds of extremely vicious people gathered here. I once stayed in such a place for a while, because it was too desolate and terrifying, so , even arms dealers are not willing to sell weapons here, and their demand for weapons is huge, so if you can overcome these difficulties and start a business, you can definitely make a lot of money!"

"I hope so!" said the eldest cousin, trembling slightly, "I also think there should be business in this place, so I came here."

Xu Taiping smiled and said nothing more.

The car kept driving forward and saw that there was less than ten kilometers left to the City of Fear. At this moment, the car suddenly stopped and the entire car stalled!

"What's going on?!" Cavendish asked.

"I don't know, the car suddenly stalled." The driver said as he tried to start the car again, but found that everything was in vain.

The car won't start at all.

"It may be that the wind and snow are too heavy, causing problems with the car's power system. I'll go down and have a look." The driver said, opened the door and got out of the car, then walked to the front of the car and opened the hood.

The wind and snow kept blowing against the car windows. As the car shut down, the heating in the car stopped supplying, and the temperature of the entire car also dropped rapidly. At this time, the wind and snow suddenly became much stronger!

After the driver checked the car, he returned to the driver's seat, opened the door and said, "Boss, the car broke down. We have to walk to the City of Fear."

"Walking?" Cavendish said excitedly, "How do you want me to walk in such a heavy snowstorm?"

"If we don't go, the temperature inside the car will soon drop to below zero, and all of us will be frozen!" the driver said loudly.

"Let's go." Xu Taiping said, "This wind and snow will not stop for a while. Our Bureau's City of Fear is only less than ten kilometers away. If we walk faster, we can get there in about an hour."

"This wind and snow are too heavy, why not wait until it gets quieter?" Cavendish said.

"What if it's not too small? Stay in the car, and within a few hours, all of you except me will die," Xu Taiping said.

"Then... let's go." Cavendish said helplessly.

Then, the people in the car picked up everything that could keep warm in the car and wrapped them around themselves, opened the door and walked out.

You wouldn't know it if you didn't open the door. As soon as you open the door, the strong wind and the blizzard hit your face, which actually hurts you.

"Why is this wind and snow so heavy? It's so scary!" the eldest cousin said excitedly.

"Go forward, everyone, hold on to this rope to avoid getting lost!" Xu Taiping shouted while holding a rope.

Then everyone grabbed onto the rope.

As the strongest person, Xu Taiping naturally walked at the front end of the rope. Behind Xu Taiping was Michaela. She was holding the rope with one hand and tightly holding Xu Taiping's clothes with the other hand. Behind Michaela is Cavendish, and behind Cavendish is his eldest cousin, and then Duanmu Huaze, and the one in charge of the rear is the driver.

The group of people grabbed the rope and headed towards the City of Fear under the leadership of Xu Taiping.

The wind and snow are getting bigger and stronger.

The thinner ones, such as Michaela, were almost blown away by the wind and snow. If it were not for the rope, Michaela would have been swept away by the wind and snow.

The force of this wind far exceeds that of a normal tropical storm.

Although Xu Taiping was leading the way, everyone still had a very difficult time moving forward.

At this moment, two beams of light suddenly shot from behind Xu Taiping and the others, and then there was a low sound of an engine coming from far away...

A truck slowly drove up to Xu Taiping and the others.

"Get in the truck." The truck driver lowered the window and shouted to Xu Taiping and the others.

The driver looked to be in his forties or fifties, with two thick beards under his nose and a cigar in his mouth.

Xu Taiping glanced at the back of the truck. Behind the truck was a container. The door of the container was closed, so he couldn't see what was inside.

"Get in the car." Cavendish shouted, "Otherwise we won't be able to walk, it's too cold and the wind is too strong!"

"Well, let's get in the car." Xu Taiping nodded. Although the car appeared a bit unexpectedly, but... it's better to ride in a car than to walk. As for whether there will be any accidents, Xu Taiping doesn't care at all. With him Now, there will be no surprises.

A group of people climbed right into the truck.

Behind the driver's seat of the truck is a large space, enough for many people to sit in it.

The heater was on inside the truck, blowing away the coldness from people's bodies.

"Are you going to the City of Fear?" the driver asked while driving.

"Yes. Master, are you going too?" the eldest cousin asked.

"Yes, I am delivering supplies to the City of Fear." The driver grinned, "Every year I meet people like you who want to go to the City of Fear, but the wind and snow outside the City of Fear are too scary. Many people’s cars break down on the road, so your car must have broken down on the road too, right?”

"Yes!" The eldest cousin nodded, and then asked, "Master, what kind of supplies are you delivering in this car?"

"Meat." The driver said with a smile.
