Chapter 2060 Tower

In the boundless barren mountains, there is a city with a radius of dozens of miles.

Tianxing City.

The city is protected by a formation, and it is difficult to get through the gray fog outside. There is a tall building in the center of the city, shaped like a pagoda, about fifteen feet high, exuding a light luster, like a pearl, but other places are very dilapidated. , almost all of them are short stone houses, very gray.

On the gravel-paved streets, there were a few vendors selling weakly, but almost no pedestrians came to take a look.

Although the city is dilapidated, it is still neat and tidy, while the situation outside the city is much worse.

The sides of the city wall are covered with rubble and dead bones, spreading in circles. The surrounding gray fog is also filled with a strong putrid smell, which is lingering and makes people sick. There are many rickets in the gray fog. The figure is cruising back and forth.

These are not corpses, but practitioners and mortals. They have no resources and cannot enter the city, but they are unwilling to leave, so they can only stay on the edge of the city.

They are just lingering. As long as the corpse appears, there are only two ways waiting for them, death or becoming a corpse.

There was a long queue next to the high tower in the center of the city, and practitioners were joining the queue in an endless stream.

These practitioners have a common characteristic, that is, their faces are earth-colored and their eyes are lifeless. They are the same regardless of their level of cultivation, as if they have not had a full meal in hundreds of years.

Opposite them was a group of sergeants, all radiant with glory, their eyes sparkling like stars. They looked at the group of cultivators lining up, showing contempt from time to time, as if they were looking at a group of ants.

"Leading the spiritual spring!"

"I'm coming!"

Following the sergeant's shout, the first person in front of the team quickly raised his hand and walked over quickly. He bowed his head to salute, and then when he raised his head, a little light finally shone in his cloudy eyes, looking at the sergeant and leading him. Full of expectations.

The sergeant glared, "Zhang Si? You haven't paid all the fees for this month, so you still dare to come to collect the spiritual spring?"

Zhang Si quickly begged, "Sir, please give me a few days' grace. I will receive the spiritual spring, recover a little bit of cultivation, and immediately go out to hunt monsters."

The sergeant laughed unconsciously, "Can you kill monsters like this? Hahaha, hahahahaha!"

The sergeant behind him started laughing, leaning back and forth.

"It will definitely work, little promise."

Zhang Si didn't dare to say anything back, he just begged in a low voice and almost knelt down.

"Fork out!"

The sergeant's face suddenly became very cold, "Hunting monsters is what you can do? Now all the low-level monsters around Tianxing City have been killed. Even if we go out, the remaining monsters will still have to work hard or even suffer casualties. Huh, what's the use of you bunch of rubbish? Staying in the city is just a waste of spiritual energy, and one of you will die!"

"Please, sir, give me some spiritual spring. Without it, I will fall down in my cultivation. I will risk my life..."

Zhang Si fell to his knees with a plop, but before he finished speaking, he was picked up by two sergeants beside him. With a swing of his arms, he immediately flew hundreds of feet away and lay on the ground, unable to climb. stand up.

"waste!"

The sergeant turned to the crowd and said in a deep voice, "If you don't pay the full fee within three days, you will be thrown out of Tianxing City to feed the corpses! Decreased cultivation? So what if you die? If you leave without paying the resources, Tianxing City will not support useless people!"

Zhang Si could not speak. The crowd was trembling, but no one dared to argue.

The lowest level of sergeants is the Golden Core Realm, and the majority are at the Nascent Soul Realm. However, their cultivation levels are much different. Even if their cultivation levels are the same, how can these sallow-looking and skinny soldiers be opponents of the energetic sergeants?

"Don't waste time, whoever comes next, come quickly!"

"coming……"

An old man hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted.

The sergeant glanced at it, pulled a wooden barrel from behind, and said with disdain, "Take it!"

The old man's eyes shone brightly, he hurriedly opened the barrel, stretched out his head and sniffed vigorously a few times, as if he was smelling the only delicacy in the world. When he raised his head, the light in his eyes dimmed a lot, and he said with an apologetic smile, "Sir, is something wrong? ah……"

The sergeant said coldly, "What's wrong?"

The old man whispered, "There is a little less spiritual energy in the spiritual spring water, even less than last time..."

"Didn't you read the order issued by the city lord?"

The sergeant looked gloomy, "It's normal for an older person like you to get spiritual spring water like this."

The old man trembled, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and said feebly, "But..."

The sergeant's face turned darker, "Nothing! Good spiritual spring water should be reserved for young people. What's the use of you old guys asking for it? You can't improve your cultivation level, and you can't do anything. If you ask me, I shouldn't give it to you at all." That’s right!”

The old man's vision went dark and he almost fell down.

The sergeant waved his hand and said impatiently, "Get the water and leave quickly! Don't delay the others!"

Behind the old man, many people clamored, "Let's go quickly, don't waste our cultivation time!", "It's good to have it, but you have to be picky", "My lord is right, you should die when you get old. , what kind of spiritual spring do you want!"

The old man sighed, picked up the bucket and left slowly.

"Aren't you going to get old...can't you practice when you get old..."

The vague words came out of his mouth, but he was the only one who could hear them. He knew very well that if he dared to question the city lord's order here, he would be thrown out of Tianxing City immediately and become food for the zombies.

Outside the city, thousands of miles away.

"These people are really going too far!"

Caiying stared at Yue Jing in front of her, clenching her little fists tightly, "Zhou, when we enter the city later, can we drive these guys out?"

The moon mirror shows the scene of Tianxing City. When going to Tianxing City, Zhou Shu will naturally investigate it. This has nothing to do with cultivation. It is a long-standing habit. As for Wen Yiyuan and Wen Ning, they will look in Qiankun in their sleeves. Staring in the white moonlight, I could feel nothing.

Jian Lao said in a deep voice, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with them doing this. With so few resources, they can only be left to useful people and those with development potential."

Zhou Shu looked indifferent and said, "It is not easy to maintain such a large city. There are no corpses in the city, the sergeants ordered and prohibited, and there is no cruelty. In a place like Wutaojie, the mayor of Tianxing City is pretty good. You can take a look."

"Not bad?"

Caiying was a little angry, "Zhou, look at the city lord living in such a big house, and look at the other people, how can it be better? And it requires a lot of resources to build this house, so if you give some to others, it won't be too much. Isn’t it abominable to have fallen in cultivation?”

Zhou Shu smiled lightly, "That's not a house."

Caiying was stunned, "Huh?"

Zhou Susu said in a voice, "The entire city is supported by that high tower. Without it, the gray fog would have completely engulfed Tianxing City long ago. These practitioners would not be able to survive until now... By the way, Mr. Jian, you are right You have a deeper understanding of the law of life and death, do you see anything about that tower?"

"I'm afraid we have to be close."

Jian Lao shook his sword, "No matter what, a formation that can withstand death is very unusual."

Zhou Shu nodded lightly, "Yes, such a world can have such a formation, it's a worthwhile trip."

This tall tower has great merits and is worth learning.
